Author's Note:
I'd like to apologize again for the length of time between updates. I know many of you have told me that you're okay with it and I appreciate your patience more than you know but I still feel guilty. I'd like to make it known that this chapter would not be complete yet without the help of my dear friend AthenaShakespeare . My position at work has been extended until further notice (probably until October) so it has been really hard to find time to write. The other night I sent her my rough draft so far and it had a lot left out in one part that I hadn't had time to fill in. What she sent back was absolutely amazing. I'm forever grateful for her collaboration with me on this chapter.

I owe her an apology as well for not getting it up sooner. My original plan was to post after work yesterday (9/18) but I had almost the worst day imaginable yesterday and just needed some time to cry and regroup once I got home. I do want to say that if I ever stop posting and don't give a reason to why, expect the worst. I have no plans to ever give up on this story (hopefully it will eventually come to an end and another will begin) but I won't abandon it voluntarily. If ever I have to go an extremely long time with posting updates, I'll post a note on my wall explaining that and why. That was one of my worries yesterday morning- that this update would never get posted and people would think I had given up on it. Thank goodness everything worked out in the best possible way. I'm sorry for this long author's note as well but I had to get all of that off of my chest.

Thank you as well to ZVJSJD as this chapter was thought up after a comment made by her.

Okay, without further delay, here is Chapter 28 that Athena and I wrote in collaboration together. Thank you again sweet friend (and Z!!!) and thank you all for reading! I hope everyone enjoys! :)

"And now it's our bedtime, my lady," Jamie grinned playfully.

Dakota laughed, entwining their fingers as they walked down the corridor to their bedroom. As they entered the master bedroom, Dakota removed all her clothes and put on a pale pink, see through silky nightgown that she fastened by tying a knot at the front.

Dakota was very much aware Jamie's eyes watched her every move closely as he unbuttoned the front of his shirt and shrugged it off. He kicked off his shoes remaining in a pair of designer jeans that hung sexily on his manly frame. Dakota's eyes fleeted to Jamie's sexy naked feet. Her skin prickled anticipating his touch.

"I want us to try something tonight...but only if you're okay with it," Jamie suggested.

Dakota's eyes went searchingly to his face. Oh...Oh! She thought, Jamie rarely hesitates. What card did he have up his sleeve? She tried to disguise her nervousness by asking, "What is it?"

Jamie went over to his bedside drawer, opened it, and got a package out. "It's just something I picked up when I got the other toys. Open it," he ordered.

Dakota took the package from his hands and gently sat down on the bed to open it. Inside she found a box that held a series of butt plugs, each getting slightly bigger in size. "Oh my gosh," she gasped.

"Is that a good surprised reaction or one of shock!" Jamie teased knowing it was natural for Dakota to be unsure when it came to testing her soft limits...

"It's...erm...," she cleared her throat hard enough to shift the lump of apprehension. The first time having sex in her rear end could be painful but she was willing to try. "It's...good, I think," she replied more confident than she felt.

"You're nervous," Jamie observed, as she stared blankly at the carefully wrapped box in her hands. "I'm sorry, are we going too fast?" Jamie's eyes had the naughty twinkle that made Dakota's insides melt.

Dakota abruptly looked up. "No we are not," she teased back. Jamie was really asking if he was going too fast for her. "I like them, I really do. I'm just worried it'll hurt. I might not be able to take all these sizes and please you."

"Baby you please me just by looking at me as you are now." Dakota's eyes were brimming with love. "Pleasuring you gives me untold levels of pleasure and if you don't let me in your back door, I will be completely fine with your decision."

How could Dakota resist Jamie's Irish charms when his line about going in her back door was reminiscent of Paul Spector breaking into the back door of sexy brunettes in 'The Fall'. Dakota's heart beat spiked and she bit her trebling lower lip in an attempt to appear calm. Jamie's thumb reached out and released Dakota's lip from her pearl white teeth.

"When you do that, I want to be the one biting your lip." Jamie was seducing her. Dakota was unable to resist. He sat down on the bed and pulled her sharply onto his lap making her breath catch in her throat. On Jamie's hard muscular thighs, Dakota felt an erection straining against his jeans. "I can get rid of the butt plugs my lady. You need not see them again," he offered magnanimously.

Turning to look into his deep blue eyes, Dakota let Jamie see how aroused she was. She kissed him full on the lips whilst wriggling her behind suggestively on his erection. "No, Mr. Dornan, I am willing to be persuaded." Dakota felt like a heroine in a historical romance novel who had just received an indecent proposal from a rake who could not wait to ravish her! Being called 'my lady' swept away the last of Dakota's inhibitions. "Be patient with me when trying out these butt plugs on my not yet penetrated behind." Her eyes had the same naughty twinkle Jamie had.

"We'll go as slow or long as you'd like. You call the shots in this. It's your pleasure that I am most concerned about," he added.

"Oh My!" Dakota replied. She was fortunate to be with Jamie. Millions of women were at that very moment having sexual fantasies about him yet here he was on the bed he would soon f*ck her on. Hard! Dakota's feelings for the man she loved spilled over. Tears run down her face unchecked as Jamie held her close to his well toned body. On his lap, she turned and snuggled in his arms."

"Shh," he soothed, "There's no cause for tears my lady," said Jamie teasing Dakota into a more flirtatious mood.

She kissed him, dried her tears, and stood up.

"Let's do this," she said, teasingly unfastening the knots on her silk gown, then letting the flaps open so Jamie could see the naked front of her body.

"I should call you my lady more often if it revs up your sex engines." Jamie smiled knowingly.

"Oh yeah," she teased swinging the ends of the silk gown seductively. "I trust you with my body Jamie. Besides, there's no one else I'd rather experiment with." She grinned playfully as he cracked a smile.

"Point well made, future Mrs. Dornan," he replied with a gleam in his eyes.

She stuck her tongue out at him and threw her silk gown at him so she was as naked as the day she was born when she pounced onto the bed. With quick reflexes Jamie dove into bed pursuing her. They both landed in a heap on the bed with Jamie pinning Dakota's arms down and kissing her hard on the lips. She was breathless by the time his possessive lips left hers.

"You can't get away from me," Jamie snickered as he began kissing her again.

Dakota laughed between the kisses saying, "Not...fair!"

Jamie held her hands in position as he started kissing down her naked body.

Dakota threw her head back and moaned as Jamie moved to her hips. He moved to her belly button and circled his tongue around it before dipping it in. She was squirming as he did so. He took his hands and gripped her hips, holding her in place. She glanced down and he looked up with hunger in his eyes.

"Oh, Jamie," she moaned as he moved lower leaving wet kisses towards the triangle between her legs.

"Shhh, just try to stay still and quiet," he hushed her.

Dakota thought that would be impossible then had a gut wrenching thought, "Jamie could Dulcie wake up and walk in on us having sex?"

"No chance of that happening! If Dulcie wakes she can't get out of the crib on her own....she was always scaling up her crib when she was younger so Millie and I got a crib too high for that budding mountaineer of ours to climb out of." He shone a winning smile from between her legs.

Dakota giggled at the idea of Dulcie in mountain climbing gear ropes and all! As Jamie's lips made contact with her lower lips her giggles were replaced with moans of pleasure. "Hmmm..."

Jamie poised the smallest of the butt plugs at the entrance of her back side moving it in sync with his tongue. "Try to embrace the pleasure. Trust me, it'll feel better," he suggested. "And let's try to stay a little quiet....Dulcie is a sound sleeper usually but I'd still rather not have to explain the noises if she wakes."

"I'll try," Dakota agreed. "I can't wait until we're back in Seattle. Our bedroom there is soundproof and we can be as loud as we'd like without disturbing her," she replied.

"How will we hear Dulcie if she needs us then," Jamie asked, confused.

"We'll have the baby monitor I saw earlier," she reminded him.

"About that baby monitor," he said, breaking pleasurable sexual contact before getting up and leaving her lying on the bed. Exposed.

"Hey! Where are you going," Dakota snapped sitting up.

Jamie had already walked out of the bedroom but was back in a flash holding the baby monitor. "I don't normally use them since her bedroom is at the end of the corridor. It's close enough to hear if she calls out for us in the night. I have closed the doors to Dulcie's bedroom and ours so we can be a little louder." There was that naughty twinkle in his eyes again.

Dakota responded by taking the monitor out of his hand, placing it on the nightstand, and pulling him down on top of her to kiss him hard.

"Whoa! Someone missed me," Jamie grinned the dimples in his cheeks showing.

He got back into position and slowly stroked her outer lower lips whilst repositioning the butt plug.

"Jamie, I don't think I can do this," she hesitated.

"Do you want me to stop?"

The hand on her lower lips was distracting her to oblivion. "No..." Dakota replied surprising herself as she found pleasure in the pressure of the butt plug filling her back passage.

"You're doing good. Just a little more..."

"Ugh," she groaned.

"There," he said joyfully as the smallest sized butt plug popped into place.

Jamie used that moment to penetrate Dakota with his erection. He set a hard and fast pace. Dakota moaned at the new sensations that filled and rocked her world until they both came minutes later. Exhausted, they both collapsed on the bed.

"Maybe one day we can try some fisting," suggested a breathless Jamie.

"What? No," replied an equally breathless Dakota, clearly shocked. "Absolutely not! I was lucky to take this!"

"Whatever my lady desires!" Jamie smiled to himself at her naïveté. Dakota might not know that a hand was sometimes inserted inside a pregnant woman at gynaecological appointment to check on the health of mother and baby. He would like to see the look on her face at a future appointment when she was carrying his baby. Jamie's heart swelled with emotion as they rested in each other's arms. They would be having sex again as soon as Dakota recovered her breath.

Dulcie would have to wait a little longer before Jamie and Dakota joined her in the land of dreams.
