After Chris and Bailey decide to give dating a try...feelings can't hold them back. Years of friendship makes dating a whole lot easier for them.


It says something about me when I feel like sharing more details about my first day with Chris as my boyfriend. My name is Bailey, in case you weren't around for my story about how Chris and I finally confessed our true feelings and got together. I wouldn't say start dating because we've been best friends for years so it wouldn't make sense to start acting like we knew nothing about one another. Aside from that, I honestly had no idea how much time had passed where we left off, with Chris laying on me.

_ He snuggled as much as he could with his right arm, which was in a cast, across my stomach. I didn't mind it. With his eyes closed, he looked like he was in heaven just having me with him. I continued to rub the back of his head while it laid on my bared chest. My nerves about being this intimate with my best friend had faded by now. Being this close, physically, I was almost about to fall asleep and let the world do its own thing._

_ The sun was peeking through the blinds, the city was bustling outside, and I was spending my day with the cutest damn wolf around._

_ HWATAAA!_

_ Right. I forgot our mobiles were on. That warrior cry definitely came from Chris's. I recognized it though as Dragon Fist, an action movie star whose movies I like to watch with Chris. But as much as we enjoy those movies, Dragon could have waited for a couple hours._

_ "Bailey, can you check that for me? I'd get up but my head's heavy right now..." Chris mumbled._

_ I rolled my eyes and looked down at the pile of clothes besides the bed. Chris's clothes were too far for me to reach. Sorry. Your "pillows" have to move. I gently moved Chris off of me to sit up and retrieve his pants. Wow. That's...the last thing I thought I'd say about Chris. Today at least._

_ I'm not the snooping type but given that Chris gave me the okay, I checked the message. Turns out it was his dad Damien. I couldn't help but grin seeing the picture Chris had for his dad. Damien, a titan of a wolf, had Chris in a headlock, grinning at the camera. It was pretty much how things were between them. The message that he just sent read as:_

"hey son we're gonna have a big dinner in the backyard if ur feeling up to it and can get a ride drop on by"

I knew how Chris typed with his cast on but I wanted to make sure he was up to it. I poked Chris's shoulder. "Hey sleepyhead. Your dad wants to know if you wanna go over and eat," I said.

It looked like it took everything Chris had to barely open his eye and mutter, "Sure. Can you drive me?"

I tussled Chris's hair. "Of course. You're not gonna drive with one arm on my watch."

"Do I have to get all dressed up though?" Chris said. I wasn't sure if he meant dressing fancy or getting dressed period.

"I'm sure the family would understand that you want to be as comfortable as possible. Do you need help?"

Chris sat up and yawned, looking down at himself. He nodded and I figured I'd help him dress entirely. His right arm was his dominant arm and just using his left arm to prop himself up looked a bit awkward. It'd make sense to put what we were wearing back on. I changed the bandage that was on Chris's cheek and made sure his cast was still tight enough on his arm. After we were both presentable again, we gathered our things and headed to the Hayabusa house in my car. In my car to his parents' to be more precise.

Oh. That's right. This was the first time I'm going to meet up with Chris's family in a while. Not only that, but I'm now dating their oldest son. I doubt they'd object to me being his girlfriend, they've known me for years. I just wasn't sure what their first reaction would be. But at the very least, Chris looked a lot happier during the drive than he was when I entered his apartment.

_ He was patting his thigh along with the music on the radio and singing to himself. I chuckled, enjoying the change in atmosphere._

"So, how are we gonna present the news?" I brought up. "It'd feel weird to just walk up and say, 'Hey, we're dating now!'"

_ I kept my eyes on the road but I could sense Chris looking over at me. "How about we just act normal and...hold hands? Or snuggle close."_

_ I laughed and shrugged my shoulders. He did have a point. Showing up to a family gathering and making a show about it wouldn't feel right to either of us. Besides, knowing his parents (his dad), they'd ask anyway._

_ "Of course you'd want to get close to cuddle up. You looked like you just wanted to be lazy and lay on me for the rest of the day," I teased._

_ "It's not my fault that you've always been great at hugs," Chris said._

_ I snickered at him as I made a turn. My hugs were always on point because Chris always held onto them for as long as he could._

_ "I bet you that as soon as either one of us confirms it, no one will be surprised," I said._

_ It was Chris's turn to laugh. He nodded before he adjusted his position in his seat, breathing softly while trying to support his cast. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see his ears fold a bit from whatever pain or discomfort he was feeling._

_ "How's your arm feeling?" I asked._

_ "Ugh, it's weird. It feels sort of limp thanks to this cast. I can move my fingers but everything else below my elbow has pretty much vanished." Chris looked down at his cast and I could tell what he was thinking._

_ "Hey, when you're all healed up, we'll make sure you're even better than before. I won't let you get sloppy," I declared with confidence._

_ "Of course you won't. The moment I do is when you'll make me do 100 push-ups in 1 minute," he chuckled._

After that, we were both quiet for a bit as the radio continued on to fill the silence. The song changed to a tune we were more than familiar with. The usual station we listened to, a mix station that usually played laid-back songs that Chris and I could get absorbed in for hours, was playing a song called "Everlong." Chris was more in the know about music than I was as far as band names, but the song was a favorite of ours whenever we drove home at night.

_ We've sung along to it multiple times and today wasn't any different. Although neither of us were world-class singers, I feel like we did it justice each time. Chris usually sang the beginning and I'd join in during the first chorus. But this time, when we were both singing, I started paying more attention to the lyrics. So much of it started to resonate inside me._

_ In particular, it was about "if anything could ever feel this real forever." At this point, it hadn't really sunk in that we were a couple. I wondered if it would after enough time. I chalked it up to me and Chris interacting like we normally do and not being immediately all over each other like we were conjoined. Not like it mattered right now, since we were now at the Hayabusa house._

_ Chris's family were all in the backyard, already engaged in conversation. Under the umbrella, sitting around the patio furniture were Chris's parents, Damien and Suzanne, and his younger siblings, Jaden and Cassie. I...refer to his folks by their first names but it does feel weird. Probably due to the "I'm dating their son" thing. They all looked ready to swim while the smell of food was not too far away. If I knew that would be part of the agenda, I would've brought my swim gear. Not that I'd make Chris turn red while wearing it. I prefer shorts over bikinis. But then again, knowing some of the things Chris's parents still have in their house, with their pack now free from the nest, they had some spares._

_ The first voice I heard was unmistakably Damien's. "Hey, glad you could make it! Bailey was the chauffer today?" He approached us and it reminded me once again that I could stand eye-to-eye with him. The guy was a few inches taller and yet we both looked like we hung out at the gym together._

_ Anyway, I said my hellos to the rest of the family and took a seat near Chris's mom. A fair-looking wolf with dark hair like Chris's and the same blue eyes, she's been friends with my mom for a long time. They do the typical moms-who-are-friends things like gossip and such._

_ She was the first to ask, "How are you doing today, Chris? Arm doing any better?"_

_ Chris nodded, stealing a glance towards me. "If I knew everyone was going to be swimming, I would have gotten ready."_

_ Damien was busy tending to the food but he called out, "But you don't have anything to cover your cast."_

_ "Dad, that's why I bought that thing you called an 'inflatable cooking glove.'" Cassie, Chris's little sister, interjected. She didn't even look up from her book that was about sewing. I raised an eyebrow but remembered that Cassie liked to sew together toys and sell them to friends._

_ Then I said out loud, ""Inflatable cooking glove?'"_

_ Cassie giggled and got up to fetch a box that showed some kind of blue rubber glove with a pump attached to it. It was shaped to have enough room for the cast and keep water out. She put the glove on Chris's right arm, and pumped the air out so it was a tight enough fit to keep any water out. I gotta say, it looked pretty useful._

_ At least Chris could enjoy time with the family instead of being left out. And my hunch was right about spare swimwear. Suzanne offered one of Damien's shorts for me to swim in, since he's the closest to my size. I decided to join in so at least Chris could have somebody to stay near in the pool._

_ "Why did you grab Bailey's hand like that just now, Chris?" a voice said._

Chris and I both started heading inside to change when his little brother (though not by much) Jaden now made himself known. Jaden kept quiet a lot of the time. Usually he was thinking about music if his rock star hair didn't give it away. But he always spoke up at precise moments, like he was planning on it. Jaden looked over at us like he was a teacher expecting an explanation about missing homework.

_ We both looked down and Chris's left hand was holding my right with a bit of...tenderness. It was weird since there was no deliberate thought of "I GOTTA HOLD CHRIS'S HAND!"_

_ But to our credit, neither of us jumped apart and stammered like high school freshmen. We both looked at everyone and shrugged. I figured I'd be the one to say it and I did so while giving Chris a hug with my chin on top of his head, just to tease him a little._

_ "Because we decided that we are going to give dating a try," I proclaimed with a wink._

_ It was quiet for a bit longer than I expected but then Suzanne broke into a squeal and Damien chuckled, "About time."_

_ "Oh my gosh, when did you decide?" Cassie said, showing as much approval as her mother._

_ Chris and I gave an abridged version of what happened when I went over to his apartment earlier. We left out the part where we made out because no one ever wants to hear about that unless they were really perverted._

_ Chris's family were all smiles while we went inside to the bathroom. We both changed in front of each other, talking amongst ourselves about how easy that was. They were probably glad we finally went through with it. After we were ready for the pool (I had to tie the drawstrings of my loaned shorts twice), we were surprised to find two more guests had just arrived._

_ It was our tiger-y friend Shojira and his sister Lei-Mei. They both greeted us, looking already prepared to swim also. This turned from sharing lunch to a pool party but that's fine with me. Lei-Mei suddenly gave me a big hug. Big as far as Lei-Mei goes._

_ "Ohhhh, you and Chris look so cute together! I'm so glad you two fell in love and mmmm!" She was pretty much squealing like Suzanne was, except ramped up tenfold._

_ Shojira laughed. "Yeah, I think you two are a nice match."_

_ "What, you've been trying to pair us up? This isn't like your cartoons, man. Friends don't start dating after 2 episodes and 'Notice me, senpai!'" I snickered._

_ With a loud gasp, Shojira pretended to be horribly offended and ran to the pool, diving in to get away from my SCATCHING critique. Lei-Mei shook her head and looked at Chris's cast. We clued her in on everything else going on just so we could finally get all the explanations out of the way._

_ "This isn't going to get in the way of training, now is it?" Lei-Mei joked._

_ Chris and I both made faces saying that we couldn't any promises and we all shared another laugh._

Now that we could finally relax and just be ourselves, I joined Chris in the pool. Shojira, Lei-Mei, Jaden, and Cassie were also in the pool while Damien and Suzanne tended to food. Swimming was a bit weird for those of us with fur. Depending on how much "fluff" we had, the more it weighed us down when we got soaked with water. Thankfully, mine's short so the water basically rolled off of me. I stayed with Chris near the shallow end, sitting in one of the corners of the pool. It was one of those curved built-in pools so I was comfortable sitting on one of the ledges with Chris on my lap.

_ The two of us watched the others swim around. I was fine with keeping Chris close to me since I wanted to make sure no water got in his cast. Besides, the water was up to my chest so I wasn't baking in the sun._

...Okay. So this is where things get a bit...personal.

_ All right._

_ I don't know how it happened. Chris tried to shift his position on my lap and his left hand accidentally grabbed my shorts. As in his fingers slipped inside a bit. He yelped a bit and moved his hand away but I didn't say anything or even look surprised. I could feel this weird sensation of...enjoyment._

As in...getting a little bit frisky with the chance of being caught felt pretty good.

_ Oh geez._

_ So...I whispered in Chris's ear, "Don't be scared, it won't bite."_

_ Chris probably turned red like a tomato before he slowly reached his hand in again. I could feel him touch just below my stomach and go lower. His index finger touched the top of my...pussy._

_ I held a moan deep within my core before Chris's finger started to trail along the outer folds. My legs moved on their own, not sure how to deal with this new feeling of stimulation. Chris noticed and he slowly moved his hand away. He probably would've tried to continue if his dad didn't just cannonball into the pool. We both tried our best to hide the fact that we would've gotten a lot more intimate if nobody noticed._

_ Thankfully, the thoughts of eroticism in front of my close friends disappeared at the smell of fresh food. Everyone sat around the table outside once lunch was ready. My mind drifted in and out of the different conversations going on around me, a lot of it focused around Chris and his cast. Not wanting to stay quiet, I looked around the table and noticed Jaden to my left, focused on his meal. I could smell the faint stench of body spray that was watered down thanks to the pool._

_ I haven't really talked to Jaden much compared to Cassie. I figured I could catch up with her after talking to Jaden some. After all, if I was going to be a part of this family was in my future, I should actually talk to them._

_ "Hey Jaden," I said to get his attention. He turned his head and smiled a bit. "How's things with the band?"_

_ Jaden chuckled. "The guys are fine though we're in a bit of a rough spot right now. We've trying to add a 4th member that could add something extra to our sound. We have some good candidates."_

_ "Where have you been holding auditions? At your place?" I asked._

_ "Oh man, no way. Not with my landlord," Jaden muttered. He reached below his chair and grabbed a package of cigarettes. He looked ready to take one out until he looked at his parents and put them back down._

_ Before I could ask, Jaden answered my question. "I'm trying to cut down how many I use. I don't want to end up losing my voice because I thought I needed to smoke 9 of these damn things a day."_

_ Jaden folded his arms behind his head and gave me a bigger smile, now glancing over at Chris. "So, you and Chris are finally taking the plunge, huh?"_

_ "I wouldn't say 'taking the plunge.' More like 'about time these two knuckleheads decided to start dating.'_

_ The laugh Jaden had was infectious. "Doesn't quite fit in the sentence but I'll take it." He took a moment before asking, "Will you still be in charge?"_

_ I could feel my brows furrow when I tried to figure out what he meant. Jaden noticed my confusion and waved a hand dismissively. He said that I'll figure it out when the time comes. We talked a little bit more about his band performing at different gigs around the city and how I'd try to catch a show during my free time._

_ Jaden seemed pretty happy to have a chance to chat with me and as he got up to help Damien clean up the plates, I saw Cassie come over to sit by me. Her hair was obviously wet from swimming though it didn't hamper her braid, which I would call her trademark. She had a naturally cheery smile on along with blue eyes much like Chris and their mother. She...well...she was also more developed than I last remember. I can probably say that was because I hardly saw her in anything else but baggy clothes that she preferred to wear. What do you want me to say, she's cute._

_ Anyway, Cassie looked like she wanted to ask the most obvious question but didn't know how. I met her halfway and asked, "How's the toy sales going?"_

_ You couldn't make that smile bigger even if you pulled on it._

_ "Oh, it's great, Bailey! Grade 2 is in love with all the little toys they have now. The other teachers want me to make more toys for their classes. And I'm being compensated for my work, don't worry!"_

Her passion was something I really liked about her. When she set her mind to something she took seriously, she was pretty much unstoppable.

"Do you think you can squeeze time into your busy schedule to make a toy for one of my fellow wrestlers?" I said.

Cassie's eyes sparkled and she nodded her head. We agreed to be in contact about the details and the conversation went back to what I thought it'd first be about.

"So, am I going to be calling you my sister-in-law in the far future, Bailey?" Cassie teased.

_ I laughed it off and shrugged my shoulders. I could see Cassie's expression become a little softer._

_ "Still, I'm glad that you and Chris are giving love a chance," she said._

_ That's when I remembered what Jaden said a few moments ago._

_ "Hey Cass, Jaden also talked to me about Chris and said something about me being 'in charge.' What did he mean by that?"_

_ Cassie's eyes widened and she pursed her lips, looking around. I didn't quite get why she was avoiding the answer. She opened her mouth to speak when Damien loudly announced that he was going to go get a bunch of ice cream. The distraction was enough for Cassie to get away. I never got an explanation._

The rest of my time there was pretty uneventful after Damien came back with dessert. There was just small talk and not a lot going on. Time passed and the sun began to set. As Cassie and Jaden were leaving, Shojira tapped my shoulder.

"Hey, uh, before you go. Can you give this to Chris for me?"

Shojira handed me a small bag. Like the kind you would put a gift in. Instinctively, I peeked inside before remembering that Shojira might not want me to give away. He laughed while I tried to look innocent.

"It's all right. Ms. Hayabusa wanted me to hand this off to you. Just pretend that it got to you first," Shojira explained.

I raised an eyebrow. Really? Lie? That'd be a great way to start the new relationship. I doubt Chris would care who came up with the idea and more about the gift itself.

"I'm going to go tell Jirokai-sensei, okay? Don't break up so soon and jinx me," Shojira grinned as he headed off with Lei-Mei.

I shook my head without realizing Chris was right behind me. He touched my arm and legitimately spooked me. With me holding the bag with two hands like it was a handbag and a leg raised, Chris almost broke out into hysterical laughter. I messed up his hair while saying goodbye to Damien and Suzanne. Something from their expressions told me that they knew something I didn't.

On the way back to Chris's apartment, Chris and I enjoyed the tiny amount of closeness we could share at that moment. But with Chris not too far from me, my thoughts wandered back to when we pushed our luck in the pool. I could still feel his finger circling around inbetween my legs and it was something I didn't want to be distracted by. I had never really thought about what to do when the time came that Chris and I were prepared to have sex. I then remembered the fact that Chris had never had sex. It would be my first time also.

With all of my thoughts going on, I realized the radio wasn't on.

_ It was too quiet._

_ The silence was starting to creep down my spine._

_ I heard Chris make a sound._

_ I shifted my eyes for just a moment._

_ Chris was digging into the right pocket of his sweatpants._

_ I could see the contour of his bulge gripped tightly._

_ Damn it._

_ Everything until I was back in Chris's bedroom is a hazy memory. It didn't matter. All I could remember was that Chris tried to hide the fact that he was close to masturbating in my car._

_ And so. That leads us to now. As in happening right in front of me._

_ When we had our privacy, my mind started to race. The sun had truly set and the full moon was out. It crept through the blinds of Chris's bedroom and was the only light source save for the lamp by his bed. As he was, he looked much more proud. I'd even say he was now wearing his injury as a battle scar instead of a hindrance. Chris was trying to tease me back at the pool or his curiosity clouded his judgment. And then he started pawing himself even though I was right there. Chris must've been a very hungry boy that needed some love..._

_ ...I...don't know why I said it like that._

_ Ugh._

Fine. I bet you want to hear the raw details. My passionate thoughts?

_ I felt ready. I felt one hundred percent sure that I wanted to have sex with Chris._

_ But I wanted to make sure he was truly ready._

_ So the first thing I did when Chris wasn't paying attention was hug Chris from behind. He yelled a bit from surprise before he rubbed his head against my neck._

_ I whispered in his ear, "Chris, if you really want to take our relationship to the next level, I'm ready. If you're not prepared, then I'll wait until you are..."_

_ The words I heard back were, "I'm ready. But let's build up to it..."_

_ I smiled and kissed his cheek. "So some foreplay then?"_

_ He smiled back and nodded. I took it upon myself to lead, since Chris had his cast on._

_ It was a bit odd. Not the foreplay, the feeling that was in the back of my throat._

_ We both saw more than enough of each other's bodies when we cuddled. Yet that was more about being truly naked beyond the lack of clothes. Here, our intentions were to give ourselves to one another. To arouse. To stimulate. To give years of suppressed thoughts the chance to copulate._

_ In other words, for those who don't like me being a bit artsy, we were ready to fuck._

The first thing I did was take off Chris's tank top. As cute as his muscles were, they were on the bottom of the "erotic list." To keep things fun for his eyes, I also took off my shirt. Thing was, I didn't wear my wet bra when I changed back into my dry clothes so he had a full view of my breasts and my six-pack.

_ He obviously saw them earlier this morning but that was different. At least I thought so. Chris must've been feeling it because I suddenly felt his left hand grab my right breast. I gasped while his fingers closed more tightly around my flesh. I muttered for him to squeeze tighter. He obliged, and I finally let out the moan I was suppressing from the pool party._

_ "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"_

_ Chris's ears perked up and his tail started to wag. His thumb ran over my nipple, playing with it. I could see his eyes become more lustful...more desiring..._

_ I reached down and tugged on Chris's sweatpants, seeing the waistband of his underwear. I looked at Chris's face after he stopped groping me to watch me work. His eyes were blinking rapidly until I pulled his sweatpants down around his ankles. This wolf was wearing a cute pair of blue briefs but alas, those weren't going to stay on for long. I tugged the front of his briefs down just enough to have the fabric rest under his balls. Now was the first time I really took a look at his cock. I didn't really have any idea what to expect but Chris couldn't be considered small. It was starting to harden now that the two of us were warming up..._

_ I teasingly touched his uncut tip before I made sure his sweatpants were gone from the equation. My hands reached toward something that I had wanted to explore for a long while and now I was glad I had my chance._

_ I got a handful of Chris's ass and grabbed those big cheeks as much as I could. Chris always had a big, beautiful butt that I liked to tease him about. Now that his cute booty was almost out there...my nails dug into his flesh and it was Chris's turn to moan._

_ I could see his dick start to erect in front of my face. I would say it was quite a sight but Chris got away from my grip and hurried to his bed. I'm sure that was so I could see his ass hugging his underwear before I grabbed his briefs with two hands._

_ I fought to yank his underwear off from around his ankles and I grinned proudly as I held it up as a "trophy." Chris was on all fours with bare wolf butt greeting me with a wagging tail. He had a soft smile that told me he was enjoying this though now it was my turn again. I reached to Chris and laid him down on his back._

_ If I had a thing for Chris's butt, I knew he was in love with mine just the same. Or at least he'll fall in love on first sight._

_ I unbuttoned my jeans and let them fall from my waist, wearing boxer shorts like I normally do. It leaves more to the imagination. And I could've sworn Chris was about to smile like a fool until he remembered my choice in underwear. I laughed a little and kept an eye on his cock while I also stripped nude._

_ Standing proudly in my birthday suit, I realized how big I was compared to Chris. He wasn't puny but it was obvious I had a size advantage, especially with how big my arms and legs were. I turned my body around and displayed myself. Chris's eyes almost bugged out seeing my backside. I wagged my little tail around though that was about it. The idea of shaking my ass to get Chris horny felt weird until I started to move my hips around. I didn't have experience with this sort of thing._

_ Experience wasn't really necessary, however. A song just played itself in my head and I started swiveling my hips around to my own beat. I didn't go as far to try acting like I was a stripper. I wasn't trying to do more than I could. I looked back and I could see Chris's chest heave with heavy breaths and his cock was even harder than ever._

I could tell just by the look on Chris's face that this is what Jaden meant by being 'in charge.' I slowly approached Chris and saw that he was holding something in his left hand. I recognized the packaging. I opened it up and took the condom out. I still remembered the sex education class at school (as bad as some of the "examples" were) so I knew how to put the condom on for him. Once it was completely unrolled, I looked at Chris. He gave me another trusting smile.

As I prepared myself, I could feel my body start to burn up inside. I could feel sensations in my body that I have not felt before. When I moved my body to distribute my weight above him, I could feel my nether regions brush against the tip of the condom. I always wanted to say 'nether regions.' Taking a big breath, I reached towards my vagina and parted the lips. Lowering myself, I could feel Chris touch the most sensitive part of my body. I winced and grit my teeth. Slowly, I worked more of his dick into me. His bulbous tip easily penetrated my insides and the rest of his length followed.

I laid my body on top of Chris. At this moment, I could've sworn I heard Chris moan and laugh at the same time. He had such a huge smile on his face and didn't seem to care that I was on top of him. It was pretty much like earlier when I was on top of him, except our bodies were pressed much closer together. I started moving my hips and I could feel the walls of my pussy clench down on Chris.

The pleasure was already starting to swell within my core. I could hear the wet sounds of my grinding and humping when I picked up the pace. Feeling Chris's member, as hard as it was, slide around inside was nothing like I expected. I could feel Chris try to help but I grabbed his left arm and pinned it above his head. He didn't have the chance to look surprised. I knew his cock was in a vice grip thanks to me. I squeezed down on that wolf's shaft and watched my best friend close his eyes and moan my name.

_ "T-Take me, Bailey. Fuck me, you goddess," he begged._

My heart pounded. Hearing the primal ecstasy in his voice and how he pleaded made me more determined to make this last as long as it could. Alas, I figured out that the more Chris spoke, the closer he was to his climax. At least it was helping me figure out how he felt about me being dominant...

I found myself letting go of Chris's arm. I could feel my lungs lose air but I gripped his bedsheets and forced my body to go on until I could hear Chris scream out in unbridled pleasure. I could feel the veins in Chris's shaft move while he undoubtedly orgasmed. I panted and couldn't help but hump the poor wolf even more. My pace was now slower but I had to keep going. I felt my clitoris grind against that shaft and I wanted more of the jolt that it was giving me. It wasn't until what felt like an eternity that everything in my body became rigid. The overwhelming feeling of bliss consumed my mind and I could only think that I reached my peak.

Afterwards, I made sure to dispose of the used condom before joining Chris back in bed. Now was when we could bask in the afterglow of our first time. I laid besides him where he could lay on his good arm. I felt his left hand caress the small of my back. His fingers pressed a bit into my muscles and I could feel some tightness fade away that still remained.

_ Our lips pressed together once again not with a yearning for closeness but a declaration of passion. My hands held his face to make sure there was no escaping this kiss. Our mouths slowly parted and our tongues danced the dance of "tongue tease." I could hear the soft yet wet smacking of our kisses and the moans that escaped us._

_ I was new to this type of intimacy. I never considered myself a romantic type with how much I never gave the idea much thought. Of course, once you start feeling the sensations of togetherness and the desire to be united with the one you love, it becomes more than just "I want to be that girl you like."_

_ It's the trust and loyalty and positive influence that Chris has for me and vice versa that really pushed me to wanting this and all that comes with it. And it's showing the most vulnerable side to you and being accepted for it that really brings out all these feelings floating around._

_ Unlike this morning, we both stayed awake and just whispered things to one another. I was too happy to fall asleep. Chris couldn't stop kissing my cheek and my neck. He wanted to make sure that this entire day was real and he wasn't dreaming. A quick pinch to his butt made it clear._

_ Now that we made all of these feelings clear to one another, there was something I wanted to say, with all the conviction I had in my heart. It might've sounded better in my head._

_ "I love you, Chris Hayabusa."_

_ He looked at me with those damn adorable blue eyes and smiled back. I almost thought I saw a tear before he closed his eyes and started drifting off to sleep._

_ "I love you too...Bailey Rosworth..."_

_ With Chris's arms wrapped around me, with me as his pillar, and everything in the world having almost stopped for us, this was a moment I never wanted to end._

And after glancing at Chris's gift at the bedside, a framed picture of us at my first wrestling match, I think we're gonna be okay.
