She couldn’t help but get
choked up a bit as he held her in his arms. “Oh Gina, I’m so sorry for making
you so angry with me.”

“Come with me, let’s go
to my room and we can talk.” Regina pulled away from him taking his hand to
lead him back to her room. Once they got inside, she sat him down in the rocker
while she went into the bathroom to get a warm washcloth. “Here you go wipe
your face sweetheart we’ve both cried enough tears.”

After wiping his face,
Collin looked at her and said, “You’re right, no more tears. I want to hear
what you have to say to me Gina, tell me what’s on your mind?”

Sitting in a chair,
Regina pulled it up closer to him and sat back as he did the same. “I shouldn’t
take you back after how much you humiliated me that day. I can’t tell you how
many times not being able to talk to you again crossed my mind. I have never
been so angry and so upset with someone I thought cared for me in my life.
Honestly, I rarely get mad with anyone, but that day, I got so angry with Carol
and mainly with you for what you did. That’s part of the reason why I had to
leave. Everything at that moment was just like the worse nightmare ever. I’ve
felt so good after I left town and I’ve been thinking about a lot of things
that I want to have happened.”

“What has been on your
mind darling, tell me?”

“I want an explanation
as to why you went through with that party, even though you said you didn’t
want to, you went and did it anyways,” Regina demanded. She watched Collin sit
up in his chair and take her hands in his, rubbing softly along her knuckles as
he looked into her eyes.

“Before I met you
Regina, most of the women I dealt with were basically one night stands, women
who held no meaning to me in my life. I would pick up a woman, have sex with
them and then say I would call them the next day which nine times out of ten I
wouldn’t even bother. But then I met you that day in the elevator Regina, I saw
a woman who was so shy that she was shaking, I had thought it was funny
actually because I had never seen a woman being nervous around me like you
were. And at that time, I was looking for someone to take to the party. Since
you were there, I figured well why not and that’s part of the reason why I
asked you to lunch, because I was a fucking idiot who was being a chauvinistic
asshole who only thought about his feelings and not a woman’s.

“But as I said, I got
to know the
real Gina
, the woman
behind the shy ways and I thought to myself, my God, where has this woman been
all of my life. You were the one woman that whenever we were together, my heart
skipped a beat, my hands were sweaty and all of my dreams were of being with
you the next day. I’ve never felt that way about any other woman Regina, not
until I met you. I don’t know why I took you to that party, maybe it was
because of the fact that I wanted to prove something, being the idiot I was,
I’ve always strived to be the best in everything I’ve done and the parties made
me feel like I was some big shot in the game. But after being with you and
after this happened, it made realize how wrong I was. When I saw the hurt in
your eyes, it made me realize what I did to those other girls I had been with
over the years.”

“Sweetheart, I’m glad
you realized what you did was wrong and how you hurt not just one but a lot of
women. Some men don’t have to deal with the ridicule, the embarrassment or the
name calling. Even with one night stands. To us, we think we’ve found
the one
guy that makes our lives
complete. A cold dose of truth dashes our hopes when we see how we were used in
your games and being played for a fool. That’s what I felt when I found out
what you did, a complete fool. The one good thing that’s come from this
experience is it’s made me a much stronger woman.”

Collin stared at her
and asked, “So, where do we go from here?”

“Let’s start at the
beginning again, take our time and get to know each other better than we first
did. I want to know the real Collin Noonan.”

He got up from his
chair and on his knees in front of her. “I can handle that but there is something
I do want.”

Smiling, she asked, “And
that is what?”

“Move in with me.”
Collin chuckled at the shock on her face.

“Move in with you, are
you for real?”

“I don’t want to lose
you again Regina, plus I want us to live together. Having you in my home would
be a dream come true, that is if you decide you want to do it.”

Regina took a deep breath,
got up from her chair and walked toward the door. She rubbed the back of her
neck and looked back at him as he sat on the end of her bed. “If we do this,
there is one thing I ask.”

“Ask away baby.”

“I don’t want to live
in the city. I want us to move back to the house in the suburbs instead,”
Regina asked him.

Collin had hoped they
would be living in the city in his apartment, but he realized she wanted to get
out and far from everyone and everything.

“All right, that sounds
just fine with me. I can either put my apartment up for sale or probably rent
it out. You can get out of your lease, do whatever you want with your things,
and we can move in together as soon as possible.”

Regina smiled and
quickly hugged him around his neck. She had never felt as good as she did at
that moment.

“We are going to do
this right Regina and I promise you that I’ll make it right for us from now
on.”

She softly planted a
kiss on his forehead, then on his right cheek and his left. Giggling, she
kissed the tip of his nose and he laughed as well. Regina had anticipated this
for such a long time, feeling him holding her like this, to have him kiss her lips
sealing their fate together. But just as she was just about to kiss him, she shocked
him by saying, “Let’s go and get some cheesecake.” And she walked over to the
door.

“Whoa, wait just a
minute young lady, weren’t you about to kiss me just now?”

“Yes I was,” Regina
told him as she tried her best hold in her laughter.

“And now you’re leaving
me hanging over here, just when you were about to put those beautiful lips on
mine.”

“Well I know you wanted
some of that cheesecake. I know all of those yummy sounds I made over the phone
earlier tempted you. I just thought that maybe you would want a piece, at least
before Jeff and Mr. Rosenthal got to it.” She watched him get up, walk over to
the door, and quickly closing it before grabbing her around her waist and kissing
her passionately. He deepened the kiss, his tongue played hungrily with hers.
His teeth started to nibble on her lower lip. “Screw the cheesecake, I got what
I want right here in my arms.”

As Regina laughed at
his response, Collin slowly walked her toward the bed and pushed her onto the
softness of the comforter and pillows as he continued to softly kiss her lips.
His hands roamed over her breasts and gently squeezed them, teasing her nipples
through the cups of her bra. Her leg intertwined with his own while her arms
stayed around his neck, her fingers running through his hair as he growled
softly against her neck.

Regina winced as his
bites along her neck started getting more intense, making his way down toward
her breasts. She watched as he quickly pulled up her dress and sat up just
enough for him to get it completely off her and over her head, throwing it on
the floor. He started taking off his shirt while Regina undid his jeans,
noticing the thick bulge in front. As his cock sprang forward, she took him in
her hands and softly started to stroke it.

“No baby, I want to
take my time with you right now, even though I could rush into it. I don’t want
to do that baby, I want to go slow with you and let us both enjoy this moment.
Hearing you moaning my name while we make love is something that I’ve wanted to
hear for days now.”

Regina pulled him close
for another kiss lying on top of her. The warmth of his cock rubbed against her
stomach, exciting her. Closing her eyes, she giggled at how his lips so
delicately skimmed against her skin that they tickled her. She watched as he
went looking in his pockets for a condom and had to laugh when he said, “Shit,
I forgot to bring my bag inside and I got myself all worked up.”

“Don’t worry Collin,
I’m on the pill.” She smiled as he chuckled.

“You little minx you,
always coming prepared I see.” She couldn't help but gasp when he entered her
already wet pussy. It had been a while since they had made love but it felt
just like the first time. “God you feel so good baby.”

Regina smiled, savoring
him once more as his body slowly moved into a rhythm she could easily follow.
This time Regina knew they were making love for real. She could be like this
with him forever, raking her fingers along his back as he hiked up her thick
thighs around his waist driving his hips into her. Every thrust he made caused
Regina to moan. She barely registered him muttering something under his breath.
His body seemed to shake over her. Collin bruised her lips with his as he
hungrily devoured them, quickening the pace of his hips. The headboard bumped
hard and fast up against the wall as if kissing her got him more excited.

“Oh God Regina, baby,
man you feel so good!” he stammered, holding her face in his hand while his
hips thrust faster into her.

“Oh fuck me Collin,
love me please!” Regina moaned as he continued kissing her lips, her whole body
started to tremble as she held on to him tightly.

Every muscle in her
body tensed into an orgasm as he repeated, “I love you Gina. God, I love you.”

And there it was Regina
thought, the three words that now meant something. He truly and honestly loved
her. She didn’t realize tears were streaming down her face until he kissed her
cheeks.

“What’s wrong baby, why
are you crying?”

He sat up and situated
her in his arms again. “I’m so happy to hear you say you loved me.”

Collin smiled as he
rested his forehead against hers. “Well I do love you Regina and always will
love you.”

Then she noticed a
strange look on his face. “What’s wrong?”

At first he didn’t say
anything, but then he looked back at her and started laughing. “I know you’re
going to kill me when I tell you this, but now I want some of that cheesecake
you were promising me earlier.”

Shocked, Regina grabbed
the pillow behind her and hit him upside his head with it. “You would ask for
cheesecake now, you nut!” He laughed even more as she sat up and continued
pummeling him with the pillow. Grabbing her around her waist, he pulled her into
his lap and smothered her with kisses as she squealed with delight.

“Why don’t I go out to
your car to get your bag while you start up the shower and then we’ll take a
nap before it’s time for dinner?” Getting off the bed, she went into the closet,
grabbed her robe and shoes and put them on. She looked around and asked, “Your
keys?”

“Pants pocket.”

She walked outside to
his car, went in the backseat and got his bag, then returned to her room. When
she got back inside, Regina heard the shower going on as she took off her robe
and shoes. He walked back into the room naked and he went inside his bag to
pull out his sponge and soap. “Let’s take that shower and have something to
eat.”

He washed her with such
loving care, scrubbing with soft small circles all over her body. Collin
cherished her in more ways than she could ever imagine. He smiled sweetly at
her while she washed him as well. “When we move in together, would you like to
change anything in the house?” he asked her while rubbing her shoulders.

Regina looked at him
puzzled but then laughed and told him sincerely, “I don’t want to change a
thing in that house, leave it as it is. I know that I could probably sell my
furniture. The only things I’ll have to bring are my clothes and a few other
little things I have gotten over the years.”

Collin kissed her wet
forehead and softly on her wet lips. “That sounds just fine with me then
darling, just as long as I have you then I’m just fine.”

She found herself back
in Collin’s arms again, so relaxed after they had made love and taken that
wonderful shower together. Regina didn’t want him to ever let her go as he
whispered, “Are you asleep darling?” Regina smiled and told him, “Almost asleep.”
She heard him start to hum, it must have been a song or something, but whatever
it was, it was making her even sleepier than the shower. It would be the first
time in days either one of them had had a good night’s sleep. Now that they
were together at last, every night they slept together would be relaxing as
well as fulfilling.

When they woke up from
their nap and got dressed for dinner, Regina and Collin walked to the dining
area where they met with the Rosenthal’s and the Warrens. “Ah ha, here is the
young man you’ve been talking about I see,” Fred shouted as he came toward the
two and shook Collin’s hand. “I’m Fred and this is my wife Mary Rosenthal and
these are the owners Bertha and Jeff Warren, please come and sit down.”

“It’s wonderful to meet
you all.” After helping Regina into her chair, Collin sat down next to her and
she beamed with pride while Fred started talking once again.
