Tim sat on the porch reading, Caroline sat in the gazebo he had ordered, painting the landscape before her. He looked up and smiled, it had been a week since the last migraine and she was able to be outside again by staying in the shade provided by the gazebo. Her medications were to stay at the present increased levels and she was to continue to limit her activities.

Caroline felt Tim looking at her, she turned towards him, blowing a kiss across the palm of her hand. She turned back to her painting, she was feeling better and stronger again, following Dr. Kim's orders.

Tim's phone buzzed in his pocket, it was Dena.  "Hey momma" he answered.

"Hi sweetie, how's everything going, how's Caroline feeling" she asked.

Tim explained the last week and her last episode. He knew he could confide in his mother and Caroline was fine with it as well. She trusted Dena and Emily, they were her family too.

"When are you coming home" she asked.

Tim was a bit hesitant, he hadn't given any inclination that they would not be returning. "Momma, we've decided were staying here, indefinitely"

Dena was taken aback by what he just told her. Emily walked in just as she asked "do you think that's best? With her condition?"

"Momma, she's doing so much better here. Other than the episode last week, she's getting stronger by the day. We are in contact with Dr. Kim, he has connections at the hospital on the main island. She's painting again too" he replied excitedly.

Emily noticed the look of concern on her mother's face. She gave her a questioning look, with which Dena gestured she would explain in a bit. "Tell Tim I said hello, love them and miss them both" she whispered. Dena smiled as she relayed her message.

"We miss you both momma, please don't be upset by our decision to stay" Tim told her.

"I'm not Tim. I just want what's best for both of you " she replied.

"This is what's best, especially for Caroline" he answered back. "Why don't you and Emily come spend a week here".

"That would be wonderful but I have so much to do at the church and Emily is looking for a job. I don't know if the timing is right, Tim" she replied.

"Momma, if you wait for what you think is the right time, the opportu nity will most likely pass you by. You taught me that" he reminded her.

She laughed, "that I did and it's good to know my words have not fallen on deaf ears all these years"

"Then follow your own words, come visit us, now, tomorrow" he coaxed.

"This is crazy,  you know that" she laughed.

"So is that a yes?" he responded.

"Yes, it's a yes" she replied. "What's a yes" Emily asked.

"Great, I'll set up your flight and reserve a nearby bungalow for the two of you. I'll call you back in a bit with all the details. Thank you Momma" he expressed as Caroline walked onto the porch "I'll talk to you soon, bye".

Caroline smiled at the look of excitement on Tim's face. "I take it we're going to have visitors " she remarked.

"I hope you don't mind, I invited them down for a week. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything, all you need to do is sit back and relax, ok" Tim assured her.

"Baby, I'm fine with it. You know I love your Mom and Emily.  I cant wait to see them and catch up" she told him leaning down, kissing him on the nose.

He stood from the lounge chair, pulled her closer, giving her a gentle kiss on the lips. " How are you feeling" he asked, moving a piece of hair to the side of her face.

"It's a good day" she smiled before kissing him back, sliding her hands up under his shirt. He moaned into her kiss. The touch of her hands gliding along his back sent shivers down his spine. He deepened the kiss between them, cupping his hands along her face. She moved her hands to under the front of his shirt, playing with his chest hairs, his breath hitched. For a moment he was lost in her touch, the feeling growing in his jeans, he wanted her there and now. Suddenly he stopped. 'I can't do this, she's not ready, I can't ' he thought to himself as he pulled back.

Caroline looked into his eyes, she knew what he was thinking "I am ready" she told him, the lust evident in her eyes.

"Are you sure, I don't want you to..." was all he could say before she crashed her lips into his.

Tim picked her up and carried her to their room. He gently placed her on the bed, removed his shirt then laid beside her, kissing her along her face and neck. She unbuttoned the thin blouse she was wearing and placed his hand on her bare breast. He leaned up on his other elbow, looking into her eyes, as if asking for permission. She smiled, nodding. She closed her eyes as he massaged each one, kissing gently at first then flicking his tongue around each nipple before sucking hard on each one. The sensation was causing a heated reaction between her legs, she could feel her own juices trickling from within. She wanted him, she needed him, it had been too long.

She palmed his rock hard erection underneath his jeans, then began to unfastened them, seconds later she had his cock fully exposed in the palm of her hand. He gasped at her touch. The sensation each felt was almost too much to bare.

Caroline turned towards Tim, "make love to me" she whispered. Tim quickly removed his pants then slowly removed her shorts and panties. He moved to on top of her, gently moving her legs apart. He felt her tense up a bit, she was biting her bottom lip and closed her eyes. He stopped.

"Caroline, open your eyes baby look at me" he whispered. She opened her eyes, tears had formed in each one. "Darlin, don't cry. We can stop" he told her, sliding his arms under her back, to cradle her.

"No, please don't stop. I want you, I need you" she said as the tears escaped her eyes. He reached into the night stand for a condom, quickly sliding it on. He aligned himself between her legs, "look at me, don't close your eyes" he asked as he felt the wetness between her legs.

Physically she was ready, emotionally he hoped he was doing the right thing.
He gently moved her legs a bit, then placed his throbbing member at her entrance. He slid it along her clit a few times, covering it with her juices and increasing her arousal. Gently and slowly he began to enter her, a little at a time. He watched as she bit her lip harder "relax darlin and keep looking at me" he whispered.

She whimpered a bit as he inched his way inside her "Tim...please...please"

Tim stopped " yes my love" he answered as he tried not to move so she could adjust to the sensation of him being inside her after all these weeks. He began to whisper to her, using his voice to sooth her and guide her as he slowly began moving in and out. Determined to make this as pleasurable as possible he kept his movements slow and his voice loving, frequently asking if she was ok and wanted to continue. Soon he felt her relax and could see the look in her eyes change from uncertainty back to the love filled green eyes that made him weak in the knees.

Caroline had relaxed and was enjoying the sensation as he slid slowly in and out, raising her hips now to meet each one.

Tim held back, determined not to thrust into her hard. This was about her, her trust, her healing.

Caroline began to climb closer to orgasm but couldn't get over the edge. She slowly moved her hand down between their bodies, sliding her fingers between her folds, massaging her clit as she looked into her lovers eyes. Tim smiled "cum for me baby" he whispered as she opened her legs a bit more while he increased his movements, still holding back from thrusting into her. The sensation of his thick hard cock sliding inside her and the quickness of her fingers on her clit soon pushed her over into the most intense orgasm she had experienced in months. As she writhed beneath him, the sight of her release brought him to an explosive ending as well.

They lay together motionless, each catching their breath. Tim gently pulled out, removing the condom tossing it in the nearby wastebasket. He turned to find Caroline sobbing,  "Darlin, what's wrong, please tell me. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have" he exclaimed pulling her to him.  Caroline finally slowed her crying, "No...sorries" she said composing herself, looking up at him. "Thank you, thank you for being patient, loving and caring. Thank you for waiting for me" she told him, kissing him gently as she snuggled in against his neck. Tim let out a deep breath, then pulled the sheet over their bodies. "Thank you" he mouthed as he closed his eyes listening to her slowing breaths and feeling her relaxed body against him.

A few hours later Caroline woke to Tim walking in with just a towel around his waist and his dark wet hair laying against his shoulders. 'Damn, he is hot. How did I get so lucky'  she thought to herself, smiling at him. He walked over to her "What are you smiling at" he said leaning in to give her a quick kiss. "The view" she giggled.

She sat up for moment, 'surely this was just another dream' she thought to herself, until she realized she had nothing on but her unbuttoned blouse.

"Darlin, are you ok? You have a questionable look on your face" he asked her.

"Um, if this was all a dream, I don't want to wake up" she said aloud.

Tim sat beside her, "Caroline, this definitely was not a dream."

She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, "Thank you, thank you, thank you" was all she could say.
