They stared into
one another’s eyes for what seemed like an eternity. His eyes were deep pools of sapphire, staring her down, daring her to let him take her. His eyes crinkled just a bit at the corners. She had come to recall this as a comforting sign. Her breathing slowed just a bit. Then she did that thing that drove him wild. Maura innocently wet her lips with her tongue, to relieve them of their dryness. He could wait no longer to kiss her full, luscious, seductive mouth. He told himself to go slow.

Daniel leaned in and with an intense demanding roughness he claimed her mouth as though he were proclaiming a
astounding victory. "God, woman, you've no thoughts a ‘tall how soft and warm ya mouth feels on mine." His breathing was a bit more ragged.

Maura
sensed there would be no stopping him from this point onward.

Daniel reached up out of the trough and captured Maura's face with one hand. The cool water from the trough rippled down his forearm and onto her breasts, cooling her skin of its heated blush. Daniel gently reclaimed her soft lips, tugging gently on her full bottom lip, as he began to pull himself from her.

In one fluid move, He lifted her into his arms and walked beyond the rig towards the back of the carriage house, grabbing a blue and green wool tartan blanket off the harness wall and splayed it out over fresh hay bedding. Daniel gently placed Maura atop the bedding and stepped back from her.

As he began to unfasten the ties of his white linen shirt, Maura's shyness got the better of her and she turned away, tucking her knees up under her gown.

Daniel wasted no time in discarding his shirt. He knelt behind Maura wrapping his arms about her waist and gently kissed the back of her neck. Maura arched her back and sucked in her breath, in response to his advances.

One by one, Da
niel began to unfasten the lacings on the back of Maura's gown, down to her waist. Slowly and methodically, He unclothed Maura's shoulders, one at a time. He tucked in close to her and drew her body between his thighs, his arms wrapped firmly around her waist, and then he ran his open mouth along each side of her neckline, stopping momentarily to place a gentle kiss on each shoulder. Daniel laid his hands along the sides of Maura's thighs, and then grasping the blanket tight within his fists, in one quick jerking motion, he turned Maura to face him.

Her reaction was one of surprise, as she sucked in her breath.

With their eyes locked in a heated stalemate, Daniel placed his roughened palm to the side of her face and gently kissed her cheek. He reached forward and began to undo the tiny pale satin ribbons on the front of her chemise. With the release of the second ribbon, Maura could feel her breasts were in danger of becoming exposed and she instinctively lifted her hand to shield them from his view.

Daniel reached up
, gently nudging her hand aside and slowly shook his head side to side. "No, love, this you will not deny me." His tone, unyielding, yet was comforting.

Daniel sat for a
long moment and drank in the whole of her beauty. No other woman has he ever taken this much time to bed. Why, he thought, by now I would have bedded her and been on my way. But this girl, no, this woman has surely proven to be like no other before her.

Maura knew he was awaiting permission to move forward. She slid her arms out from
beneath the straps of her chemise and let it fall to her waist.

Daniel sucked in his breath, now, then let out a low groan in the back of his throat.

She leaned in closer to him and firmly placed her palms upon his bare chest. He slid his hands to her soft curvatious hips and drew her in closer so she was straddling his lap and there was barely space between them. He grasped her firm buttocks in his masculine palms and forced her down onto his pelvis.

Maura
felt his rigid mass press up against her and she was somewhat surprised by how much she liked this feeling. She began to squirm a bit with excitement.

Daniel could feel her heat
through his trousers.  

Maura placed a soft kiss on his lips
then she ran her tongue along his bottom lip.

He immediately responded in kind by placing a firm grip on her lower jaw with one hand and with a low animal-like growl forced her lips apart, with his own, and ran his tongue along the inside of her mouth.
He let go of her face, just as quickly, giving her time to adjust to this necessary roughness and to retreat if she wanted to stop.

             
Maura moved her hands up to Daniel's shoulders and pushed herself to her feet, letting her gown fall into a pastel heap about her ankles. Daniel ran his forefinger up and around the outer strap of her pantalettes and tugged on them gently until, they too, fell to her ankles.

As she stepped out of her gown and pantalettes, Daniel pulled them away and threw them far out of reach. Maura's eyes grew wide with excitement.

              Daniel pulled her back down toward him, and gently laid her backward onto the hay bedding. His emotions were running wild. He had lusted after many women, but he had never made love to a woman he was in love with. These feelings were all new to him. He wanted this to be perfect for Maura...and for him.

He stood
to finish disrobing and quickly returned to Maura's side. To ease her of any embarrassment, he pulled the tartan over both of them and tucked in close to her. He thought he would lose complete control when his bare skin touched hers.

Maura fel
t his firm manhood up against her outer thigh and the warmth from his body heat was warm and comforting. She felt protected. She felt loved.

Daniel gently cupped the side of
one breast and bent his head to place light soft kisses to the outer aspect of her of her delicate porcelain skin. Then at long last, he made his way to her nipple where he ran his tongue gently over it and created a stimulation effect so profound, she could not control her feelings of lust for him. She arched her back in response and pulled him tight to her breasts, grasping the sides of his face giving in to the exhilarating pleasure.

"Oh, God, Daniel, do
naught stop" Maura squealed a high-pitched sound of satisfaction, Daniel interpreted to be her first outpourings of lust for him.

H
e did stop, but only for a moment. Just long enough to look deep into those beautiful emerald pools of which he was beginning to drown. He was lying with his head resting atop his bent forearm, looking down at her breasts and her stomach. He gently ran his hand over the outer aspect of her breast again and then down to her soft, flat stomach.

Maura felt
a fluttering sensation as his hand passed over skin. She laughed lightly. "Sorry, Daniel, but that gave me butterflies" She drew her knees up a bit.

"Oh I'll be wantin' ta give ya more than butterflies before this night is through, woman."  He joked as he flashed that great white smile of his.
Once again, it got very quiet between them and Maura knew Daniel was not going to wait much longer.

Daniel moved his palm over toward her well
-rounded hip, then down to her slender outer thigh.

Maura thought his hands were rough, but felt good on her skin.

Daniel moved further on down to her most private area. He thought his hand was afire as he laid it upon her warm velvet curls. Her heat was amazing. He leaned in, kissed her to relax her, and in doing so gently nudged her thighs apart. He slid his fingers into her moist warm sheath.

Maura tensed immediately. "No, Daniel, do n
aughtt do that." Her protest was weak.

Daniel retreated, briefly. When Maura
relaxed, he reentered with a great force that set her screaming. He swallowed her up within his embrace, pulling her into his chest and tried to comfort her with his words and kisses.

"
Tis alright, love. Tis just rough the first time. I had ta open ya up so ya will be able to accept me inta ya, darlin' “He kissed the sides of her face and then kissed away the tears in her eyes. Maura buried her face into his chest and left the tracings of her fingernails on his bicep. Daniel gave Maura a short reprieve, as he was not quite ready for this to be finished.

He removed her hand from his upper arm and guided her to his shaft. "Maura, stroke me, love."

She was awkward in her approach. She pulled her hand back away from him, at first, but then he kissed her deep, relaxing her enough to move forward with him. The feel of her hand was like velvet on his skin. Daniel thought he would lose all control. He placed his hand over hers to stop her sweet torture.

"What is wrong, Daniel? Am I doin' it wrong? Am I hurtin' ya? Why are ya stoppin' me?" Maura's voice
, wracked with concern.

Daniel thought to give her reassurances of a job extremely well done.
"Maura, ya are doin' a fine job o' makin' me feel extremely well aroused. I just want ta take it slow, is all. I'm enjoyin' ya so much that I don't want this ta end." He propped himself up on one elbow and stared down into her eyes.

Maura wriggled a
bit closer and began to trace circles around the nipple of his chest. She noticed it instantly becoming erect.

Daniel moved closer, letting her know she was doing something he enjoyed.

He bent his head once more to caress and tantalize her, now very firm, taut breasts, and in so doing, continued downward again toward Maura's soft silky hot spot.

Remembering how it hurt the last time he ventured there, Maura grabbed hold of his wrist and tried to pull his hand away.

"'Tis alright, love. I promise ya I willna hurt ya this time." He pushed forward.

He
gently nudged her thighs apart, once more. He could feel her heat in his hand. He slipped his fingers just inside her warm folds, and this time he took his time to explore her thoroughly and talk her through her fears, while stroking her into sheer ecstasy “Oh my sweet Maura let ya self be overcome with the pleasures of the senses. Come ta me, love, come ta me."

Maura could not hold back her feelings any longer. She grabbed onto the sides of his face and kissed him with a roughness to rival his own. So deep was her kiss, as if it were the
last, she would ever give to him. She let out a low moan and then the shrill cry of satisfaction, reaching up to cover her own mouth. She was shocked at her own wanton behavior.

Daniel rolled up on top of her and with some mild degree of roughness
, nudging her legs apart with one hardened, muscular thigh and rested himself at the junction of her thighs.

Maura fel
t his warm hard shaft up against her very sensitive private area. Her loins were still pulsating. He moved just a bit and she was beginning to become swept away again. Maura instinctively wrapped her legs around his.

Daniel could feel her silken thighs rubbing up against his. He no longer had the power of control to decide whether to be gentle or not. He was wild with passion for
her.

With rough determination
, he forced her legs apart and prepared her the best he could for what was to come. "Maura, I canna hold back any longer, sweet. Please forgive my roughness, darlin'" His tone was breathless and ragged.

Maura reached down between them and wrapped her
slender fingers around his shaft, placing him inside her womanly softness. He slid in with ease. She raised her hips to meet his. Daniel was fully imbedded in her now. Sweeping sensations coursed through them both. Daniel's buried his face in Maura's neck. His skin was hot and moist with sweat. Maura could taste the salt on his skin, as she ran her tongue along his massive shoulder. "My sweet Maura, you've no idea how much I'm lovin' being with ya like this, woman." His voice, ragged and out of breath, as he pushed up inside her again and again.

Maura was just as wild for him, as she pushed upward with every thrust of his. She could feel herself beginning to succumb to his advances, yet again. "Oh my God, Daniel, I canna control my own feelin's when we’re like this." she could hardly speak for being so out of breath.

Daniel slowed himself one last time, looking into her eyes. "I want ya ta be lookin' inta my eyes, Maura, when we both ascend ta the heavens from the pleasure we are about ta share." His voice so calming and soothing to her senses. Then he reached between their intertwined bodies, and found her firm and highly sensitive core and began to message her into ecstasy. When he felt the first pulsations under his fingers and heard her cries for sweet mercy, he began to drive into her like a battering ram. His control gone, he begged her for sweet mercy grabbing her buttocks tight and pulling her even closer. Daniel collapsed in a heap upon her and spoke into her ear "Oh God ya are so sweet." He had never felt such exhilaration or satisfaction ever in his life. He rolled off to her side, pulling the tartan up over them and snuggled down in close together.

"Maura, did I hurt ya too badly with my roughness?" Daniel was apologetic in his tone, while caressing and kissing the side of Maura's face.

Maura had tears in her eyes, not from sadness, but rather from her overwhelming feelings of joy. She now knew what is was like to be in love and to be made love to, fully and with reckless abandon. "I'm sure I'm goin' ta be sore for a few days, Captain." She wiped at the corners of her eyes and then laughed, giving Daniel a shy wink.
