Dina and Daniel are two unique people and I felt they deserved their own tale. I hope you enjoy this brief romance. Please share your thoughts. All the characters in this story are above the age of consent. Enjoy IR2R Have you ever seen someone and in that moment only the two of you existed? For those moments, everything around you faded and the two of you stood alone. Daniel Graves spent hours thinking about one woman, Dina Tallwinds. Daniel felt like a man possessed. This obsession with one woman had to come to an end some type of way. A Love Story: Dina and Daniel Dina dried her cheeks. "My last night with him was when I conceived Leona. He never wanted children and I knew he'd deny her. I never told him I was pregnant and I never intended to tell him she existed. I won't let him hurt her the way he hurt so many people. So Daniel, I care about you, but I won't be a consolation prize. Do you want me because you could not have Sunnet?" she asked one more time. Daniel moved then. He knew that his next few words would make or break them. "Dina, I won't lie. At one time I thought I loved Sunnet, but it had nothing to do with you." She gasped and pulled away but he grasped her hand. He stopped her, "The night I saw you for the first time, something bloomed inside of me. I never have seen another woman. You're all I think about, Dina, all I dream of. God, I drive over here every night after work just to check on you and Leona. We both know that I have no rights where you are concerned." He lifted her chin. "I've never been in love before. But I feel things I cannot explain. Maybe you can help me understand what I'm feeling. I think about you all of the time. When I'm away from you, my day is long and hard, and then I see you and everything is right again." He paused. Daniel continued, "I eat lunch at the Hastee Tastee every day, and I hate fast food, but you're there and I get to spend a few minutes with you. You listen to me; you get me. With you I don't have to wear the cold mask that I wear every day. You've seen the real me. You bring out something inside me that I thought I'd never see again. That little girl in there owns my heart and I cannot imagine a night where I didn't get to read to her." Dina sat and wiped a tear from her cheek. She smiled and kissed him. Daniel sighed and the kiss deepened. He lifted her and she wrapped her body around him. Damn, he's a good kisser. She laughed. "Well, it hurts a guy's ego when the woman he's kissing laughs in the middle of the kiss." He groused. Dina hugged him, "Daniel, I think I'm falling in love with you and it scares the hell out of me." Daniel returned her hug and laughed with her, "Don't be afraid, I'm in love with you." The two held each other for the longest time and then Dina noticed the time. "Fuck, I have to be at the hospital early. I need to go to bed." Daniel released her and stood t go. Dina felt cold when he released her. "Daniel, can you sleep here? It's only for a few hours and we don't have to do anything." Daniel swallowed, "Um, Dina. I know I come across as a gentleman, but I am a man. If I stay here I won't be thinking about sleeping." He stepped back. Dina wrapped her arms around his waist. "Tonight, we sleep. Nothing more." She whispered. She took Daniel's hand and led him to her bedroom. They undressed and soon lay snuggled together. Daniel Graves was horny. He wanted this woman, but with her he wanted so much more. She had a difficult past, so he would make sure she received the love and pampering she deserved. He smiled and knew they would be together someday, and as much as it would hurt him, he would wait until she was ready. Daniel dozed, the next morning he woke before she did and went into the kitchen to make a quick breakfast, As he walked past Leona's room, she called to him. Daniel laughed and went to check on the little angel. He helped her out of bed. She went to the bathroom and then he carried her with him to make breakfast. Dina awoke to singing. Climbing out of bed, she followed the noise to the kitchen where Daniel and Leona were singing "Remarkable Cows" Leona's favorite tune. Dina laughed and joined in. "Momma Momma, Danny cook." Leona boasted. It was then Dina noticed the three cereal bowls and toast. He also made coffee. "Daniel, I'd marry you right now for this. Coffee, yes! Thank you." She hugged him and Daniel grinned. They still had their date tonight, and he was looking forward to it. He remembered his dad's request. So as they ate, he reminded Dina about the cookout at his parent's home on Saturday. She was about to refuse and then she remembered that Earl told her she could not refuse, so she laughed and said, "OK." Dina had to get to work and Leona had daycare. Daniel drove her. Leona wanted Danny to carry her inside and of course he did. She didn't want Danny to leave, but he had to go home and head to his office. He was strong, firm, and then her bottom lip quivered and he almost caved. Dina intervened and the almost two year old, had to stay at school. Dina held back a laugh as Daniel drove from the daycare. He had a million questions. His main concern was if Leona ok. If she didn't like that place then she should not have to stay there. Dina sighed. He was going to be a problem. He was honestly upset about leaving Leona at daycare. She knew if he had his way, her daughter would be back in the car with them. Soon he pulled into the employee parking lot at the hospital and Dina was opening her door to climb out. She worked here as a housekeeper until nine and then she'd take a bus to the Hastee Tastee Café. She worked at the restaurant from ten until three. She'd leave there at three and pick up Leona. The two would go home and prepare for their date tonight. Dina moved to get out and Daniel caught her hand. He smiled a sly smile, "I didn't get a kiss this morning." He whispered. Dina leaned over and they kissed briefly. She pulled back and smiled. Daniel looked so cute, his blonde locks messy, a day's growth on his chin, and a twinkle in his eye. "I'll see you at lunch." She whispered. Daniel whispered, "I love you Dina. I mean that." She went into the hospital and he drove home. Daniel showered dressed and reported in at his usual time. Ten minutes after walking into his office, Emily, Brett and Andrew walked in. "Where's Peter?" Daniel deadpanned. He knew why they were there. They had to have figured out that he stayed over at Dina's apartment last night. Why it concerned them, he had no clue. "Um, I called my big brother for advice and he was not home?" Emily accused. Crossing her arm, she tried to look stern. Brett and Andrew just stood grinning. Emily called them and they were curious. Andrew was already putting a team on Dina. He liked Dina, but Daniel was his brother and he was just being cautious. Besides, if he slept at her place, he had to have gotten lucky. "Wait, we are not kids, and I am not discussing my sex life..." Brett and Andrew cheered, stopping Daniel midsentence as he glared at his brothers and sister. "We knew you had it in you." Brett and Andrew high-fived each other. "So you have to marry this girl Daniel. She works too much and its wearing her out. Besides, as soon as you marry her I get to have a niece. Never mind, I have a niece anyway, because you are moving so slow." Emily babbled on and on. Brett and Andrew were talking as was Emily as the other workers came in to see what the excitement was about. Daniel tried to shut his siblings up, but not before Mom walked in. One look and all three quieted down. Bria looked at her three kids and ordered, "Out, I'm talking to Daniel. Valerie, hold his calls." Everyone exited the office. Daniel could not believe his family was so interested in his sex life. "Mom, listen..." Daniel started to state. "Daniel, does she make you happy?" Mom asked. He sat looking at his Mom grinning like a schoolboy. Bria smiled and knew all she needed to know. She told her son to have a great morning and that she'd join him for lunch. She left and Daniel tried to concentrate on work. Daniel worked and appeared in court. The judge called for a continuation the next day. Soon it was after two and went to lunch as his mother joined him. Dina was polite and friendly as usual. Bria loved the little diner. But most of all, she loved seeing her son so content for once. She ate and watched Dina. The girl did her job, but her attention was focused in the man sitting across from her. Bria smiled, she would do everything she could to help these two people get together. Soon lunch ended and Bria insisted that Daniel drive her to his father's office. She didn't want to waste time calling a driver. As he drove her, she made sure that she emphasized the importance of his date tonight. In other words, Don't blow it! Dina's shift ended so she picked up Leona from daycare and went home. Daniel called and told her he'd be at her apartment a little before seven. Five o'clock came quickly and Daniel left early. His staff was surprised. Their boss never left work before eight. Then someone remembered the date his brother mentioned. They wished him good luck and Daniel went home to dress. At six thirty-five, he was standing in front of her apartment. He missed her. He had not seen her since earlier. Dina looked out and saw him. She smiled. She let him in. Leona saw him and rushed to him. Daniel scooped her up, laughing as she covered him in kisses. Dina was wearing her robe and told him she was glad he was there. He could keep Leona while she dressed. He laughed and Dina went into her bedroom. She didn't own a lot of dresses, so she picked the nicest one she had. Donning her dark blue and yellow sundress, Dina walked out and she was radiant. Daniel declared, "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Dina blushed. "Danny, go." Leona insisted, so he scooped her up and they went on their date. The restaurant was family oriented. The service was fantastic. Dina and Leona had a great time. They arrived at Regale's and were seated immediately. Leona was well behaved for a toddler, and Daniel was impressed. He sat and people admired them. Leona looked like her mother. Both had raven black hair, sun-kissed skin and the biggest brown eyes one could imagine. They even moved the same way. Dina would tuck her hair behind her ear and Daniel smiled when Leona did the same. The waiter came and he was awed by their beauty as well. Daniel felt proud. The waiter flirted with Dina who was polite and a bit embarrassed. Daniel was annoyed that the male would be so bold as to approach her in that way. Then he relaxed, as he realized that he was on a date with two extremely beautiful girls. They ordered and Dina ordered fried macaroni for Leona. Daniel frowned because to him that sounded disgusting. Dina laughed and said, "You don't spend a lot of time around kids, do you?" Daniel blushed and admitted that she was right. He had two nephews but he wasn't the type of person children liked. He was surprised that Leona liked him. "You had no problem playing with the boys at the park. You need to relax a little. Why don't you volunteer to keep your nephews? You can get to know them." Dina suggested. Daniel said, "Cici would have fit. She does not trust me with her boys. " he explained. "Are they coming over tomorrow?" Dina asked. He told her they were. "Remember the game you played at the park. Play with them tomorrow, OK." She smiled. He agreed, but to see her smile he'd agree to anything. The waiter brought their meal and Daniel went all serious again. Leona didn't like it. "Dan, Dan," she chanted. He looked at her and she was holding out a piece of her food. He wanted to refuse, but Dina gave him a look. He took it and tasted it. Whatever it was, it was actually good. Dina giggled, "See, it's not disgusting is it?" She teased. Daniel smiled and said, "No, but next time she gets string beans." They laughed and enjoyed the rest of their night. The rest of the night was simply fun. He loved being with the two girls. Daniel drove them home and they laughed all of the way. Leona fell asleep in the backseat. Daniel carried her inside and tucked her into her bed. Dina made coffee for them and they sat on her sofa and talked. Daniel was witty and fun. Here he wasn't the serious stern faced guy that people saw every day. Dina thought he was so handsome and she was the luckiest woman alive right now. Dina's heart raced. She wanted to ask him to stay. But she was actually afraid. He said he loved her and she wanted to believe him, but it was so soon. He was the sweetest man, but she had lousy history. Daniel noticed that she was quiet, too quiet. He leaned forward and kissed her. "Dina, I'm not him." She backed away. "Daniel I...." He walked over and kissed her once more, and then he kissed her temple. He whispered. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm here for the long haul. We can take our time. There is no need to rush." Dina sighed. She relaxed. He was right. They kissed and she became bold, exploring the hard contours of his body. She shoved his jacket and he let it drop. Daniel deepened his embrace, as their level of intimacy increased, Dina became even more bold. She pulled his shirt form his slacks and touched his skin. Daniel groaned and caressed her breast through her dress. He caressed body finding the zipper of the dress on the side. He hesitated, and Dina whispered, pleased. Slowly he slid the zipper exposing her skin to his touch. He caressed her hot skin, cupping her breast as her nipples pebbled against his palm. Dina moaned and within second, she shoved the top of her dress to her waist. He was so excited, so hard. It had been so long since he'd been with someone, but he needed her to trust him first. As much as he wanted to continue, it was much too soon. "Baby, I love you. And until you know that to be true, I am stopping." He hissed. Dina pulled back. "OK, um, well. I'll see you in the morning, right?' She nodded Daniel had to kiss her. "Dina, I will be here extra early. Now, since I am trying to be a gentleman, I'd better go, or I'll forget the lecture I keep giving myself." Dina smiled, "You can sleep over. You stayed last night and nothing..." Daniel smiled, "Girl, I want you so badly. I know if I stay here, we're crossing all over the line. Besides, one more date. Just you and me. I'll pay for a sitter. After our third date, we can both be sure." Dina nodded. "Who's picking?" Daniel smiled. "Let me. I want to plan something special. Now the cookout is tomorrow and I want to get there before my brothers. Knowing Mom and Dad, all of our cousins will be there. I need to be ready. I might have to go all cave man." he teased. Then he stood and helped her fix her top. He caressed her breast leaning forward to kiss her and pinch them gently. Dina moaned. Daniel checked on Leona and then she walked him to the door. Soon Dina crawled into bed, hot horny and trying to decide how she would deal with his nosy sister. She kinda wish Oman was there. He'd definitely distract Emily. Soon, Dina was sleeping. At his home, Daniel was finishing his cold shower. Dina was driving him insane. She was so beautiful and so desirable. He loved this girl. He didn't need another date to know this, but she needed time. Dina Tallwinds would one day be his wife. Daniel felt as if his mind was in overdrive. Dina was in his every waking thought. Thinking about her was fine, but it was his reaction to his thoughts. The thing was he decided to take things slow with her. She had a bad experience with her daughter's father, and he was determined to be a different kind of man. Saturday, he picked her and Leona up and they spent the day at his parents. After the cook out, he convinced her to visit him. She had never been to his house and for some reason; he needed to see if she liked it. Dina was impressed. Daniel's house was not what she expected. For a man that claimed he didn't get on well with children, he owned a family home. He gave her a quick tour of the large four bedrooms, four bathroom structure. He had a small efficiency apartment over his garage. The master bedroom was amazing. An enormous king-sized bed sat on one side of the beautifully decorated room. It was outfitted with two walk in closets and a full bath with a hot tub and separate shower. She loved it. Then he showed her the other rooms. Even though she tried not to, she could picture them in this house as a family with children, cute little dark-haired and blonde little ones, running around. Dina shook herself; she had to get herself under control. He led her outback, and Leona took off running around. He had a nice backyard. For a second, he could picture swing sets and slides back there. Dina smiled and told him that the house was perfect. Then he asked her to stay with him. Dina wanted to stay more than anything, but she worried about appearing to be desperate. He could tell her fear was taking over again and he stopped. "Dina, you don't have to do anything you don't want to, OK. I want you with me because I love being with the two of you. Please, stay tonight and if it's too much I can still give you home." Dina took a deep breath and reminded herself that Daniel loved her. She and Leona stayed overnight. For the second night, the two slept together and he refrained from acting on his most basic instincts. He'd asked her to wait until their third date. She agreed, and he had no idea how hard abstaining would be. Dina took one of his shirts from his dresser and slipped it on. She came out of his bathroom and he had to think if everything unsexy that he'd ever seen. So finally he pictured his great aunt in her bathing suit earlier at his parent's home. That worked. Well it worked for a while until Dana cuddled into him on his sofa as they watched the news. Dina was not interested in the news. He smelled so good. Whatever cologne he wore permeated his skin. He saw so suave when he wore his suits, but tonight when he wore a t-shirt and shorts, he was definitely all male. Broad shouldered, tones with tight abs and perfect Pecs. He wore a pair of dark boxers that exposed a nicely shaped pouch in front. Daniel gave her one of his t-shirts and a new pair of his boxers to sleep in, Dina was aroused. She wanted him, but Daniel was determined to take things slowly. He asked her for three dates before becoming more intimate. She liked it. They spent so much time together. Soon the news ended and Daniel asked her to join him in bed. Dina smiled, and the two lay side by side. Facing each other, Daniel stroked her cheek. She smiled and he whispered. "Stay here with me tomorrow." Dina smiled, "I can't. We need to go home and take care of things there. Bedsides if I stay too long you'll probably get tired of me." Daniel sighed, "I just want the two of you here with me. Dina, I have never wanted anyone as much as I want you." "You're the one that wants to wait. You said three dates right. Why three dates?" she asked. "Honestly, I'm not sure. Our first date was fun. I loved being at the park and meeting your sister and her husband. I actually plan to spend more time with my nephews because they are so much fun. I see why Andrew is always rushing home. Kids are fun. But that date was about the kids and I loved spending that day with you. Then we went to Sunnet and Jacob's wedding. That time getting to know you, seeing where you grew up, and meeting the rest of your family meant the world to me. The other night, when you told me about him, about Lionel, I needed you to know I want more. I love you Dina and I know it seems fast. Do you believe in love at first sight?" he asked. "Yes, I do." She whispered. "Well, I fell for you the first time I saw you. I grilled Sunnet, but she brushed me off. Luckily, I had Emily. She found out where you worked and here we are." He explained. "The thing is, I've never needed someone this much. At the end of my day, I have to see you. That's why I'm always stopping by. I need you to know for me it's not about sex, but something more. Something in here." He took her hand and covered his heart. Dina's heart raced, and she gasped. Suddenly she realized that she loved this strong quiet man. She wanted more than chaste kisses and light petting. A Love Story: Dina and Daniel "Daniel, we don't have to wait." She gasped as she kissed him. Daniel returned the kiss, followed her as she lay back pulling his body on to hers. Daniel deepened their kiss as he instinctive ground his body into hers. Then he stopped. "We have one more date. If you still want me then, I promise to make it beautiful for you Dina. I want to wait until its right." He explained. "Daniel, I'm ready now." She sighed. "Baby, I want you so much I can't think straight most of the time. This is not easy for me. But I think we need to stick to our goal of three dates. One more date, just you and me." Daniel whispered. "OK, when?" she asked resigned to the thought of waiting. "Wednesday night, can we go out then?" he asked. "I'll see if Jess can keep Leona. She probably won't mind." Dina explained. Daniel smiled, "Tell her I'm paying for child care. Now Wednesday night is our third date. My pick, OK. You just wear something pretty. Ask Emily, it'll keep her out of my hair." He yawned. Dina was so hot for him that she could not figure out how he kept holding out. Then self doubt came back. She stiffened, Daniel then made a subtle move. Rolling over and pressing his body against hers, he pressed his hardness into her body. Then he whispered, "Babe, I am hard as steel every damn day. I am so glad my slacks are adjustable or everyone would get an eyeful. I think of you and I'm hard. I hear your voice and I'm rigid. I want you, Dina, but I will wait. I'm not Lionel, and I won't use you, so I can wait." Dina hugged him. Then he whispered, "Now Dina, let's sleep." She snuggled deep into his embrace, and slept peacefully. Wednesday arrived quickly, but the day lasted so long. Dina called Jess and she was happy to watch Leona for a few hours. She went into her closet and the only dress she owned was the one she wore on their second date. He said to dress up. Dina sighed, and was about to cancel when her doorbell rang. "Momma momma door." Leona chanted. Dina went to the door and Emily and Bria were there. "Hello Dina, we are here to help you get ready for your date." Emily announced. Dina started to comment when Leona yelled out "G'ma, G'ma." Bria scooped her up quickly, kissing her. "Em, Em" she greeted Emily. Emily laughed. "I'll take her, Mom. You and Dina talk." Emily took Leona into the den where they played with her toys. Bria faced Dina. The girl wasn't nervous and that was good. "Dina, he is my second oldest son. He is the most sensitive out of all of my boys." Dina started to speak, when Bria stopped her. "He comes alive around you. You keep him in check. He can't be all pretentious around you and he relaxes. He has the same effect on you. You are happy with him and I can tell that you love him." Bria smiled. She paused, waiting for Dina to deny her feelings. But Dina smiled. "Yes, I do." Dina sat down and faced Bria. There was no denying it. She had fallen irrevocably in love with the serious man. It was too soon. She fancied herself in love with Lionel and that ended horribly. Daniel was not Lionel. He'd done everything to prove he was not like him. Her little girl asked for him all of the time and she needed to see him just as much. Dina took a deep breath and smiled. Bria hugged her. "Welcome to the family sweetheart. Now let's get you ready for tonight. Oh, and I'm keeping the baby so you won't have to rush back home. I'll let Jess know." Bria explained as she called Emily. Emily was more than ready. She went shopping. At first they were going to let her borrow a dress, but Emily was freaked out with her brother seducing a woman that was wearing her dress. So they picked out four dresses that were Dina's size. "Wait, how do you know what size?" Dina queried, curious as to how Emily was always able to find out stuff. Emily laughed and said, "It's my little secret. Now let's select the right dress." Dina was stunned. Emily had chosen four of the most amazing dresses she'd ever seen. She selected a little black one, and both Bria and Emily approved. They were not done. Emily selected several delicate pieces of lingerie for her to choose from. Dina selected a skimpy black bra and panty set. Emily was tickled pink. Finally, Bria help her choose her pumps. Both women rushed her into the tub and watched the baby for her. Bria called Jess and told her she wanted to keep Leona. Jess told her she could keep her, but Bria stated that Dina would have to come pick the baby up, right. She didn't want them to end the date early. Jess laughed. She had met Daniel and even though at first he was standoffish. She liked him. Her husband said from day one that he and Dina would end up together. Jess frowned because she bet Dina would not trust him. He was too stiff. Lionel had done a number on her kid sister. She was glad to lose that bet. Dina exited the shower and realized it was after six. Bria and Emily were still there. She dressed and walked out. She was magnificent. Bria ordered her to sit and she brushed her hair, twisting it into a bun. She had one more gift for Dina and then she and Emily were taking Leona home. As Dina was admiring how gorgeous she was, Bria placed a golden locket with three colored stones. The pendant had five spaces. Bria smiled and explained. "I had my jeweler to make this when we met you a few months ago. These are your birthstones. Yours is the diamond. Leona's is sapphire. Daniel's is topaz. The blank spaces are where you can have the birth stones of your future children placed." Dina frowned, "Wait, there are five empty slots. Bria this is beautiful, but maybe..." Bria interrupted her, "I know my son. He will want a large family. Trust me. I know what I'm talking about." She added. Soon they left, taking Leona who kissed her and said she'd be good. Ten minutes later Daniel arrived, dressed in a tux. Dina just looked at him. No man had the right to look that good. Daniel knew she was beautiful. However, tonight she was simply exquisite. He had to kiss her, so he leaned forward and tasted her lips, Dina groaned, and he was overly excited. "Baby, we have reservations." He whispered. They left and Daniel held her hand the whole time he drove. At the restaurant, a valet took the car and they entered. Dina was nervous, and Daniel placed his hand on her waist. The hostess seated them and he ordered a bottle of Moët & Chandon. Soon their order was taken and Dina asked Daniel to order for her. "You are amazing, Dina. I don't just mean tonight. You are beautiful, but you're more than that. You put up with me." He took a deep breath. Before he could speak, an older gentleman walked over with his companion. "Daniel Graves just wanted to speak son. How are you?" he asked. "Mr. Lever, I'm fine." Daniel answered annoyed, The gentleman looked at Dina. "Mr. Lever, this is my date, Dina Tallwinds." Mr. Lever took Dina's hand and kissed her knuckles, "Sweetheart, when you get tired of Junior here, call me." Dina gently removed her hand from the older gentleman's grasp. Daniel became angry. "Mr. Lever, we're trying to enjoy our evening. Good night sir." He stated finally. Lever realized he'd gone too far. He apologized. After he left, Daniel apologized to Dina for losing his temper. Dina smiled. "I liked it. I liked the way you stood up to him and told him to go. So, no need to apologize." There waitress brought their champagne and poured them a glass. Daniel talked. He was witty and fun. He told her about his childhood. He was often the victim of his younger brothers and sisters pranks. He admired his Dad and wanted to be just like him. He mimicked him, and soon he was just like him. He had a funny side; he just never showed it. Dina laughed and it felt good. The waitress brought their meal and they ate. Dina didn't know if the food was good or not because the only thing on her mind was Daniel. Daniel felt the same. For months all he thought about was Dina. They talked about the people they dated. Daniel only had two serious girlfriends and then his pseudo crush on Sunnet. Dina only had Lionel in her past. Daniel was serious for a moment, "Do you still love him?" he asked. Dina looked at Daniel and smiled, "No," she answered. "I'm in love with you." Daniel sat up straight, and called the waitress. "Check please." He and Dina left the restaurant, and he drove her to his home. He paused, what if he misread the situation. He parked in his garage, and escorted Dina into his house. He decided that they'd talk and if she hesitated at hall, he'd stop. Dina walked in and waited as he secured the door. As soon as he turned, she leaped into his arms. Kissing her, Daniel forget how to think. This amazing woman wanted him. "Dina, wait we need...." She kissed him, silencing him "We need this Daniel. If I don't have you, I will combust. Please, don't deny me this Daniel. I need you." She whispered. Daniel lifted her. "Dina, if you are not sure, say so." She kissed him once more. Daniel carried her to his bed. She asked him to wait and she undressed for him. Daniel kissed every inch of her body. Her body was amazing. He loved her breast. They were the perfect shape and fit into his hands perfectly. Dina, tonight I want to show you what you mean to me." He whispered. He suckled her breast, massaging them alternatively. He kissed her tasting her skin. Dina moaned. Soon she removed her gown exposing to his view the tiniest black panties. Daniel stood and removed his suit. Dina gasped, He was magnificent. Her eyes traveled down his body, stopping at the protruding bulge that stood proudly in front of him. Daniel paused. If she wasn't ready, he'd stop. "Daniel, I want you" She whispered and he joined her on the bed. Covering her body with his, Daniel placed his body between her thighs, and Dina froze. It had been so long, and she was afraid he might be disappointed. Daniel stopped, and asked her was she OK. She said yes. He rubbed his cock against her slit, kissing her wanting to bury himself inside of her. He would not rush. Dina wanted his cock in her, and he was teasing her. He pulled back and took a foil package from the drawer beside his bed. Quickly he donned the condom and was ready to finally love this girl. "Daniel," she growled and he sank balls deep I side of her. She was so hot, so tight. Daniel groaned, He had to be gentle, He had to go slow, Dina moaned and whispered, "You feel so damn good. Daniel make me yours." He started pumping. He kissed her repeatedly telling her that she was his. He loved her. It was magical, special. Dina knew that no man would ever care for her the way Daniel did. He was concerned only about her. Soon, he needed to cum. He held back. Dina was hot, sweaty, and so close. "Daniel" she whispered. "Dina," he groaned. "I can't..." It's Ok, cum for me Daniel" she whispered. "No, baby, not before you." He protested. She felt wonderful, and she knew he needed her to climax. She didn't want to fake it. She whispered, "Daniel, it's OK. Please,..." He kissed her. He had not satisfied her. He wanted to be the one to ... Daniel moved faster, pumped harder. He slid his hand between them and stroked her. The moment his fingers touched her clit, Dina saw stars. She was so sensitive, and his touch pushed her close to the edge. Dina moaned, and Daniel smiled. She was so close, all he had to do was.. He flicked his finger and she moaned as her body shook, Daniel never stopped loving her. He kissed her, nibbled her ear and whispered, "Come with me Dina. Let's fly together." The plea in his voice, the fill of him buried deep insides if her, and the combination f his fingers manipulating her sex caused her into a state of orgasmic bliss. She jerked as her pussy gripped his cock. Unable to hold back any longer, Daniel spewed his seed into the condom he was wearing. He held her close, both quaking from the most powerful orgasm they had ever had. "Are you alright, Dina. I wasn't too rough?" Daniel asked. "Daniel it was perfect. I love you. I wish..." she sighed. "Babe, what do you wish? " He asked pulling her into his arms. "Nothing, tonight was beautiful Daniel. I've never felt more loved." She smiled as she cried. Daniel was elated, and he knew that he'd spend the rest of his life making this woman happy. "Well, we have all night and I'm not done." He promised. He decided that after tonight, Dina would know his heart was truly hers. Eventually, they slept. Dawn arrived and Daniel woke early. He went into the kitchen and made breakfast. Dina woke to find her companion gone. Donning his discarded undershirt, she went in search of her lover. She found him and smiled as he went about preparing their morning meal. At some point, he looked around and smiled. "Good morning, I was making a quick breakfast. Did you rest?" he asked as she flowed into his embrace. "You know I didn't get much sleep. Someone's aim was that I not feel my legs this morning." She teased. Daniel laughed. "What time do you have to be at work?" He asked, wishing they could stay here all day. "Um. I took the day off. I don't have to work today." She explained. "Yes! Let's eat and then go back to bed." He suggested. "Daniel, baby. Let's eat and then I need to check on Leona. Your Mom kept her last night. She might be tired now." Dina explained. "The necklace last night was beautiful. What happened to the other stones?" he asked. He'd have it repaired. Dina smiled. "Your mom gave it to me yesterday. The three stones are our birthstones: mine, yours, and Leona, She told me the blank spaces are for our future kids. I think she wants five grandbabies." Daniel laughed. He'd do his damndest to give his Mom her wish. All he had to do was convince this wonderful woman to take a chance on him. "Ok you're right. Let's eat and shower and dress. Then we need to go get our daughter." He poured her coffee as Dina was frozen. He kept moving as if he had not just declared Leona as his daughter. "Um Daniel, Daniel?" Dina stopped him."Do you know what you just said?" Daniel smiled, "Yes, she is ours. She's my little girl I plan to marry her mother one day soon as soon as I can convince her to take a chance on me." He explained puling her in this embrace for a kiss. Dina hugged him and then she took a breath. "Daniel are we going to fast? I mean... You hardly know me. I just don't want..." she could not find the words. "You said you love me. Did you mean it Dina?" Daniel asked. Dina nodded. "I have loved you from the moment I saw you. I know everything I need to know about you. I want that happiness with you and I want five more kids. I want to be their Dad and I want you to be their Mom. I'm not proposing right now, but I'm telling you I will propose. Be ready." He kissed her temple and said," I'm calling in. Let's spend the day together. Mom called earlier. Leona's fine." Dina laughed. After breakfast, they showered together. Daniel wanted to wash her body and he touched and caressed every inch of her. She stood with him, skin wet, glistening. Dina loved his skin his light hair contrasted her darker tones. His pale skin stood in stark contrast from her sun kissed complexion. Daniel lifted her against the wall and said. Place both feet on the ledge. He entered her as warm water cascades over their frames. Daniel loved being with her. He moved in a sure strong rhythm. Dina realized he wasn't wearing a condom. Daniel closed his eyes, She felt incredible. So differ yet the same as last night. Something was different. Finally her chant got through as he increased his tempo. He felt incredible, it was hard to focus. They had to stop. "Daniel, Daniel, Danny, we have to... Oh my God" Dina groaned. "Cum for me Dina. Dina, please." Her body convulsed. Daniel followed spilling his seed deep inside of her body. Daniel held her close as he trembled, and he sighed. Soon they dressed and went to collect Leona. The three of them spent the rest of the day together. Daniel drove Dina to her apartment, and realized he did not want to leave. As time went on their relationship grew. Daniel relaxed at work. Eventually, he allowed Brad to move into Sunnet's office. It was a fair choice, Brad was one of the hardest working members of his team. He also realized that Brad liked Emily, so possibilities were endless. He would get off work each night and go to Dina's apartment. On Saturday, he would pick up his nephews and take them with him to the park with Leona and Jess's boys. At first Andrew and Cici were cautious, but after the first outing the boys thought Uncle Daniel could do no wrong and the weekend trips became a weekly occurrence. The kids were inseparable at this point. However, all four boys watched out for Leona since she was the only girl. Jess joked that Dina and Daniel needed to work on a second daughter. They spent all of their free time with each other, and weekends in and out of each other's homes. A few months passed, and Dina's sister Jess and her husband, Paco, had become a part of Daniel's family by default. Her two sons loved going to G'ma Bria's. Andrew and Cici often invited the twins to sleep over. Jess and Paco worked so they could not keep their son's new friends over night, but when they did have free time, they did play dates with the four boys. Daniel wanted Dina to move in with him, but he wanted to do it the right way. He didn't want a live in girlfriend; he wanted more. They had been dating for months now and he felt it was time. He left work early one day and solicited the help of his Dad and older brother Andrew. Dina's sister was her only living relative, so he had to ask her permission. He went to Jess's job and she came out to speak with him. She hugged him and cried. She was so happy for him and her younger sister. Daniel arranged for Leona to sleepover at her aunt's. He took Dina back to the restaurant where they had their third date. Unbeknownst to him, his parents and siblings made arrangements to be there. Dina felt odd. He was acting strange. She was afraid that maybe he realized he made a mistake and could not find a polite way to tell her. "Daniel, look, if you are through with..." Dina started to state when Daniel asked her to hush. "I already told you how I feel. I love you Dina. I know I told you we will marry and now I'm asking." He stood and went down on one knee. Everyone stopped talking and watched, "Dina Tallwinds, will you marry me?" he proposed as he showed her a beautiful platinum gold solitaire. "Yes, Daniel, yes" she whispered. The restaurant erupted in pandemonium as his place his ring on her finger. His family rushed over to join them. Earl and Bria even had Jess and the kids there. The owner was so happy for Daniel that he had the group to move to a private room that was often reserved weeks in advance. Leona saw Daniel and smiled. She ran and leaped into his arms. He caught her and held her close. Then he laughed. This was not unusual, because since meeting Dina he laughed all of the time now. He put the little girl down and she joined the others. The adults talked. Bria and Emily were already planning the ceremony, as Dina and Daniel shared a look. Soon everyone had dinner and headed home. Daniel decided that from now on they would be together. If they were not at his house then they would stay at her apartment. That night, Daniel put Leona to bed after reading her the same story multiple times. When he finally came out of her room, Dina smiled and said, "You spoil her." "Yes, I did. Just like I will spoil the other five or six kids we will have." Daniel stated holding her close. The two kissed and were heading to bed when all of sudden a voiced called out, "Daddy, Daddy' Daniel kissed Diana and went to check on his daughter. Dina followed as Leona wanted her Daddy to read to her once more. A Love Story: Dina and Daniel Epilogue Chief Joe traveled to the city with Sunnet and Jacob. Sunnet was excited. Her friend, Daniel, was getting married and he was finally happy. They arrived at Earl and Bria's home and everyone greeted them. Several more vehicles pulled up and Earl knew they would have a great time now. Sunnet left the men and she went to found Dina. The two were so happy to see each other. Dina thanked Sunnet for coming and it was then she realized that she wished more members of the tribe could have come. Sunnet laughed and said, "I hope you don't mind, but we brought a few extra people. Someone knocked and Kerri, Isla, and Mary from the diner walked in. She cried. They came and she didn't even realize how much she wanted her tribe to be here. Emily joined them and was happy to see everyone. She left out to see the other guest and the she saw Oman. He was so handsome and he looked happy. Emily rushed over and hugged him. "Oman, hi." She greeted. He hugged her and told her he was so glad to see her. She had to help get ready for the ceremony, but made him promise to talk with her later. She walked away smiling as Oman sadly let her go. Peter and Brett shared a look. After years of their sister's meddling, it was time for pay back. Peter took out his phone and made a call. "What's up?" Andrew answered. "Oman is here. It's time we found a guy to take Emily off of our hands." Peter stated. Andrew laughed. Emily was a snoop, but they could never find anything to blackmail her with. It drove her brothers crazy. Except this guy. She liked this guy. Andrew had his investigators check him out. Oman was an honest and good man. Unfortunately, he loved his home and Andrew could not see him leaving. Emily would suffocate there. He wasn't going to give up yet. He actually had Dina investigated as well, and her past was clean except where that Lionel guy was concerned. The guy walked off one day. If he came back and wanted his daughter, it might cause problems for his brother. He had a team searching for him. All he wanted was a signature giving up his rights to Leona. Once he got that signature, he would present the documentation to Daniel. Then he could legally adopt Leona. Chief Joe and Earl talked. Jacob and the guys checked on Daniel and soon it was time for the ceremony. Dina asked for a private ceremony with just family. However, Daniel had a large extended family. Earl walked her down the aisle. And Chief Joe blessed the union followed by their minister performing their ceremony. Soon Daniel kissed his wife and they were presented to the world as Daniel and Dina Graves. Everyone cheered and the celebration lasted. Oman and Emily found time to talk. Oman took a moment to be serious. "Emily, I never said thank you. You came to me when I lost Grandfather and you were the only person that could reach me. If you had not helped... Well, I am glad you did. " Emily smiled, "Well, you are welcomed. Now, let's dance." Oman laughed, but obliged her. Daniel and Dina stole a few moments alone away from their guest. "Dina, you are my life. I love you." Dina hugged him and whispered back, "Daniel, I love you too." At that moment, beneath the moonlit sky Daniel and Dina kissed secure in the knowledge that they had found the person they were meant t be with. Eight months later The waiting room at Mt. Semoore Hospital was packed. Kids were cranky, adults pacing as they waited anxiously. It had been a little over five hours and finally Daniel came out. His face awashed with tears, "They are here. Mom, Dad, they are beautiful." Leona was now calling for her daddy. She rushed over to him and Daniel scooped her up crying and told her, "Leona, you have two new sisters." Everyone was happy and congratulated him. No one left, and waited to see Dina. Soon they were taken to her room and the twins were in the nursery. Bria and Earl hugged her. Jess held on to her hand. Emily and Brett watched the kids. They switched and Emily and Brett came in. Soon everyone left, and Leona wanted to stay, but Auntie Jess took her home with her. Daniel sat beside her bed, grinning like a fool. "Hey, are you OK?" Dina asked. She was the one laboring, but Daniel was the one doing all of the crying. "I am the happiest man alive right now. Dina they are perfect." He whispered in awe. Dina smiled and stroked his cheek. "Yes they are, and so are you, my love." Then she yawned. Daniel kissed her forehead and said, "Sleep. I'll be here when you wake up." Dina smiled and slept knowing her husband was there and he wasn't leaving. The End Thank you for reading. Please share your thoughts. IR2R
