first_in_time | New Lives and Mourned Pasts

The trip was long but at least they had jobs to go to and somewhere to live even if it was small. They each had one suitcase half filled with clothes and a life they were leaving behind. Once they were left in the by the side of a dusty road on the outskirts of a small country town Barbara walked with Ian to their new home, unconsciously holding onto his hand as she had done so many times before. Their real estate agent waited at the door of their new home to hand them a set of keys. He wished the newly weds ever lasting happiness then left them to it.

"It seems I've missed my own wedding," Barbara said with a sigh as she put the suitcase down in the middle of the almost empty lounge room and chuckled a little. She was tired and felt dirty from all their traveling.

"That's true," he agreed, cuddling her closer. "And I suppose it could be really young kids, that would be worse." He wasn't sure it was possible to teach very young children science.

"I think you'd be fairly good at teaching younger children they might not need science so much as high frequency words and reading skills," she chuckled and played with the hair at the back of Ian's head.

"Mmm." He leaned his head on her shoulder, enjoying what she was doing. "I don't think I'd have the patience for a whole class of younger children."

"Hopefully you'll never have to try," she replied and kissed the top of his head. "And I'd like to think that if we have children of our own, that we won't have so many that we need a classroom for them to sleep in."

He chuckled. "I was thinking of having enough to field my own football team." He looked up to grin at her.

"In that case you may have in find yourself another wife," Barbara told Ian and grinned.

He pretended to think about that for a moment. "I don't know if I'll be able to find anyone else quite as wonderful or as likely to put up with me."

"Ah, well, you'll just have to be happy with one or a few rather than a football team," Barbara told him then smiled more and captured his lips.

"If you do more of that," he said when they parted, "I'm sure I'll be happy."

"Than can be arranged very easily," Barbara purred and used the hand at the back of his head to pull him back to her for another delicious, lingering kiss.

From:

splendid_roman

While they kissed he held her closer, almost pulling her into his lap. "Why didn't we do this sooner?" he murmured, not moving his lips very far away from hers.

From:

"Because there were other people to consider," Barbara muttered between their kisses. "But we can do it now. As much as we want to."

Ian's kisses made her feel warm and his hands made her feel warmer. She shifted closer so that she sat in his lap and cupped his cheeks with her hands. The temptation to touch more of his skin, to feel his kiss on places other than her lips was becoming more difficult to fight.

From:

"Yes, we can." He was feeling the same temptations and while he moved a hand to tangle in her hair, he moved his kisses towards her neck.

From:

Barbra stretched her neck out a little, giving Ian more room to kiss while her hand slid down his chest. Her fingers brushed past a button holding his shirt closed. Barbara played with it a little, unconsciously undoing it and exposing a little of his chest. Just enough to brush with a single finger.

From:

splendid_roman

He was only too happy to give her neck some attention. He made a happy noise as she brushed his chest, hoping she might undo some more buttons.

From:

first_in_time

Slowly, delicately, Barbara undid the rest of Ian's buttons then placed both hands flat against his chest. She had seen Ian shirtless before but had made the effort to not pay much attention since staring was rude. Now, however, it was different. She could look and she could touch which she did so quite happily as he kissed her.

Ian was a little nervous that she was getting to see this much of him. What if she didn't like what she saw? He buried his nerves by undoing the top button of her blouse so he could kiss along one collar bone.

From:

first_in_time

Now Barbara felt the nerves a Ian undid her button. She wasn't exactly most endowed woman Ian had probably ever seen, what if she wasn't good enough?

Barbara pushed those thoughts from her head and encouraged Ian to kiss her lips again.

"I love you," she whispered, "everything about you."

From:

splendid_roman

"I love you too," he replied, happy to kiss her again. Afterwards he rested his forehead against hers. "I want to kiss all of you," he admitted, softly.

From:

first_in_time

"I want to be kissed all over by you," she replied just as softly and giggled. Barbara leaned forward to kiss the top of Ian's shoulder then up his neck and back to his lips. Her hands took his and she linked fingers for a moment while she simply enjoyed bein in the moment with Ian.

She she pulled back from the kiss, Barbara encouraged Ian's hand to take hold of her buttons and slip the out of their holes.

From:

splendid_roman

Ian was quite happy to be encouraged. After the first button he leaned forward to kiss the skin revealed as he undid each new button. Once they were all undone he sat up to look at her, taking her hands and linking their fingers again. He longed to touch her breasts but didn't quite feel he should yet.

From:

first_in_time

Barbara smiled, blushing, as he kissed her exposed skin. When he linked fingers with her, Barbara adjusted the way she sat so that her legs were either side of her lap and she could lean in properly and push her breasts against his bare chest as she kissed him deeply.

As the kiss grew in passion and heat, Barbara brought Ian's hands to her breasts. She had started longin for him to touch them and massage them.

From:

splendid_roman

He touched her as she showed him and was glad to find it brought her as much pleasure as it did him. When they broke apart he was breathless and longing to take her clothes off her. "Shall we go upstairs?" he asked hesitantly. Despite the passion, going up to their bedroom would mean they both wanted to go further. Ian didn't see how they would regret not waiting any longer, but then it was hard to think at the moment.

From:

first_in_time

Barbara nodded and blushed a little more, pink heat spreading over her chest and face. She got off Ian and left her shirt open as she walked upstairs with Ian. The cool air made goose flesh rise over her chest now that Ian wasn't touching her.

When they neared the bedroom. Barbara took both of Ian's hands and walked backwards toward the bed, pulling him with her.

"If you change you mind, let me know and we can stop," she said.

From:

splendid_roman

"You do the same." He kissed her softly to remind them both that he loved her and it wasn't only lust that was making him want to do this.

Then he let go of her hands and took his shirt off, reminding himself that if she hadn't liked what she'd seen he'd know by now. He sat on the bed and pulled her back onto his lap to kiss her again.
