I needed to get out.  I pulled on a sweatshirt and grabbed my sneakers.  It was time to get back to running.  I missed my path, and I wanted to see if it still brought me comfort and peace.   I headed out the door, pausing to take in the smells that I loved so much, and started off toward my path. 
Pat-pat-pat-pat
, I loved the way my feet made a beat as I ran.  It was methodical, and felt right. 
As I hit my trail in the trees, I broke loose, running at a faster speed than usual, tipping my head back and enjoying the air on my face.  The trail looked different in the light of course and the sounds weren’t the same during the day, but this was my trail.  It was still partially covered in snow where the sun wasn’t able to fully break through.  I closed my eyes for a moment, letting my senses take over as I ran, but before I could enjoy it too much, I tripped over a branch and started to stumble.  I prepared myself for the fall, as I reached out my hands—waiting for the impact of the cold ground.

“Shit Ally!”  I heard him before I felt his hands wrap around my waist.  For the second time, I found myself lying on top of Ian in the snow.  “Hi,” I said looking down on him. 
“First you run in the dark, and when you finally start running in the daylight, you do it with your eyes closed!  I don’t get you sometimes.”  He shook his head as he looked up at me. 
I tried to move myself off of him, but he held my hips firm in their place. “Umm, Ian?  I can’t move.” 
“I know.  Maybe you’ll finally talk to me if I keep you like this.”  He said, still holding me tight. 
I wasn’t sure what to say, and when I felt him stiffen under my hips, I couldn’t do anything but suck in a huge breath which made Ian practically throw me off of him.  “Ian? Are you okay?”  I asked, not knowing who was more embarrassed.
“Ally, we need to talk.”  Ian was running his hands through his hair.
“Okay.”  I said, waiting for him to talk. 
“Damn it Ally, I am tired of you avoiding me!”  I just stared at him, seeing how frustrated I had made him with my stupid
friend
plan. 
“I can only think of one thing Ally, and that thing is you.  No matter what I try to do you always are first in my mind.  There is only one reason.”  He said looking at me.  “I love you.”
Even though I already knew this after speaking with his mom, it felt so amazing to hear the words from
him
. Before I had a chance to respond, he continued, “I don't want anyone else to have your heart or kiss your lips or hug you the way you hug me, and you’re the only one I want to hold.  Please let me love you Ally,
please
.”
“Okay.” I say quietly.
“Okay?”  He looked shocked as he gazed into my eyes.
I can’t help but smile at him.   “I’ve missed you Ian.”
“You have?” He says, raising his eyebrows.
Leaning toward him, I put my hands on his legs so I can look him right in the eyes. “I can't help but to miss you. You were the one that picked me up when I was hurt. You showed me that you cared, and made me feel something I never felt before.  I love you too Ian.”

 

Chapter 35
~Ian
I can’t believe it, she loves me!
 She was already leaning toward me with her hands on my legs, so it wasn’t far to close the distance.  Taking my hands and starting at her wrists, I touched her ever so softly, dragging my fingers up the length of her arms until I reached her neck, holding her in place.  Leaning forward, I gently kissed her on that sensitive spot right below her ear. “You’re so beautiful.”  I whispered as I placed soft kisses along her jaw, moving toward her mouth.  When I firmly pressed my mouth to hers, she let out a small moan, and I pressed harder, running my tongue against her lips until they parted slightly, allowing me to claim her mouth.  My head was swimming as we continued to explore each other’s mouths, touching each other in a way that I had wanted to for so long. 
Way before I was ready to, Ally pulled back, panting and flushed with desire.  “Ian?”
“What baby?” I sighed
“Umm, my knees are cold.”  I looked down and realized that we were both still kneeling in the snow, and she was in a thin pair of leggings.  “Come on, let’s go back.”  I said, reaching down to help her up.
We walked hand in hand, glancing at each other with nervous excitement.  When we broke through the trees, I paused. “Which house?”
***
By the time we made it into my house we were both freezing.  Shutting the door, I turned to face Ally who was trying to smile even though her teeth were beginning to chatter.
“What would you say to a bath?”  I asked, cocking my head to the side. 
“Right now, that sounds like heaven!”  She said shivering.  Grabbing her hand, I led her down my hallway to my bedroom.  She paused as we entered, looking around and gasped when she recognized a lamp on my bedside table. 
“You bought something of mine?”  She asked astounded. 
“Of course.  Ally, I told you that I thought your work was amazing.”  She turned to face me, taking my face into her hands and leaned up to place a small kiss on my lips. 
“Thank you. That means more than you know.”
“Come on, let’s start that bath.”  I walked into the master bath and started the water. 
“Wow, this is a great tub!  It’s huge!”  She was taking everything in, and I had to remind myself that she had never been past the kitchen, and that was when she was so sick that she probably didn’t remember much anyway.
As the tub filled up, I noticed Ally biting her lip, looking a little anxious.  I placed my hands on her shoulders.  “Ally, if this is too much, please tell me.  We aren’t in any hurry.” 
“I just, umm…I just don’t really have much experience with all of this.”  She spoke so quietly that I almost didn’t hear her. 
“We can take things slow Ally.  I love you, and as far as I’m concerned, we have forever.”
“I love you Ian—I want this.” She said gesturing her hand between us. 
“You’re sure?”  She nodded as she pulled her sweatshirt over her head.  With her eyes on mine the whole time, she lifted her t-shirt over her head until she was standing there in only her leggings and her bra.  When she reached behind her and unhooked her bra, I thought I would die.
“Oh God Ally, you are so beautiful!”  I pulled my shirt over my head and stepped toward her, craving the feel of her skin on mine.  Sliding her bra down her arms, I was mesmerized by her perfect round breast and soft pink nipples.  I reached out and brushed my fingers across them and she gasped as they hardened.  Leaning down I took one of her nipples into my mouth, “Oh!”  She gasped, leaning into me.
I slid my fingers below her waist band and carefully lowered both her leggings and her panties, kneeling as I did, trailing my hands down her legs as I lifted each foot out of her pants.  I ran my hands back up her legs, placing small kisses along their path until I reached the center of her thighs.  I placed a tender kiss at her cleft. “Oh
please!
” she sighed, and felt myself grow harder than I thought possible.
As I stood up, I worked myself out of my pants and led her over to the bath.  Climbing into the bath, I sat behind her, pulling her down against my chest.
“Ally, you don’t know how long I’ve wanted this.”  I pulled her hair to the side and placed soft kisses into her neck.
Tilting her head back, she kissed the edge of my chin.  “I love you Ian.” 
“Are you warm now?”  I asked, raising my eyebrow. 
“Why, what did you have in mind?” She asked, raising her eyebrow back at me.

 

Chapter 36
~Ally
I had never wanted anyone as much as I wanted Ian right now.  I could feel his erection pressing on my lower back as I leaned against him in the bath.  I was definitely warm now, almost too warm.
Do you want to get out?”  Ian asked, as he kissed my neck.
“Mmm Hmm.”
He laughed,” Come on, I don’t want you so comfortable that you fall asleep on me.”  He stood up and stepped out of the tub; grabbing a towel he wrapped it around his waist.  Reaching for another towel, he offered me his hand and carefully lifted me out of the tub, wrapping me in the plush towel.  Grabbing another, he dried the back of my hair and placed a kiss on the tip of my nose.
Without a word, he led me out of the bathroom to his bed and pulled back the comforter and sheets.  He dropped his towel to the floor, and for the first time I took in his body as a whole.  His shoulders were broad and his upper body had that perfect upside-down triangle shape.  His stomach was defined and muscular, and his penis was the most impressive sight.  It stood at attention, and I felt a tingle in my own body, knowing that I did this to him.
I dropped my towel too, and stepped closer to him so I could press my body to his.  I could feel his erection against my belly and his light sprinkling of hair on his chest tickled as I pressed my face to him.  He smelled so good, and I couldn’t help but let myself lick his chest to see if he tasted as good. 
Ian sat down and pulled me down with him until we were lying on his bed facing each other with our legs scissored together.  Leaning forward, I pressed my lips against his, this time teasing his mouth open, reveling in his soft moans.  I allowed my hands to explore his body, tracing his muscles and they flexed and dragging my hand down his spine to his most perfect rear end.  I squeezed it playfully as I continued to move my hand around to the front, feeling the moment when Ian held his breath, waiting for me to touch him.  I gently gripped him and he groaned.  “Oh God Ally, you’re killing me.”  As I continued to touch him, sliding my hands up his entire length and back down, he worked his hands down my body. 
His hands were so gentle as they caressed their way down, over my breast, down my belly, at which he stopped kissing me and moved down to where my newly healed scars were.  He placed the gentlest kisses on all three of them before he continued his decent.  As he reached my thighs, he whispered, “You smell so good,” and before I knew what was happening, he was touching me, kissing me, bringing pleasure to me that I hadn’t known existed.  He was so gentle with me and as he slid a finger inside me, he gasped. “Oh Ally, you’re amazing.”  He gently placed another finger inside and continued moving them in and out. I felt a pull in my stomach and a quickening from where his fingers were and his thumb that was rubbing my most sensitive spot in a tantalizing rhythm.  My legs began to tremble and my muscles clenched and held on to his fingers as I called out his name in ecstasy.
