Rafe had never felt more nervous in his life, or rather, afterlife. But it was almost like he didn't even need to think. He just let his emotions control his actions, and so far, that hadn't failed him now. He gently laid Alison down on the bed and laid down beside her, caressing her face and lips with kisses.

Alison's breathing suddenly became very labored, and thoughts, feelings, emotions that she had held back for so long…she would finally be able to just release them, and it was such an incredible feeling! She couldn't believe this was about to happen! The man, the angel that she couldn't help but fall in love with, was about to make love to her, and Alison couldn't wait.

Rafe smiled at the woman below him, the woman who had stolen his heart and taught him how to love. Her eyes sparkled at him. He undid the last remaining buttons on her shirt and opened it up, revealing her tummy and her pink bra. He leaned down and kissed the spot above her naval, and then went up until he reached her chest.

Alison wiggled her arms out of her sleeves while Rafe kissed her. Then she reached up and finished unbuttoning Rafe's shirt. She slowly slid the shirt over his shoulders, and she grinned when she saw his muscular chest.

Rafe put his hands under Alison's back and searched for the clasp to her bra. He finally found it, and after a little work, it came undone. For his first time of undoing a bra clasp, Rafe felt he did a pretty good job. But he was too nervous to take it off of her. The gravity of the situation was finally hitting Rafe.

Alison helped as she slid the bra off herself and threw it across the room. Alison laughed when she did that, and that made Rafe laugh too. He looked down at the woman below him and kissed her bare chest.

Alison felt dizzy, lost in her own thoughts of her and Rafe. Every touch was like fire. Every kiss was like heaven! In fact, she suddenly realized that while she was thinking of Rafe, he had already removed his pants and had pulled down the bed covers.

"Rafe," she whispered seductively. Rafe looked down at her, sprawled out on the bed with her blonde hair all around her. Alison gave him a seductive look and Rafe watched as she unzipped her own pants. Then she stopped. She gave Rafe that look again. Alison put her thumb under the hem of her pants and acted as if she was having a hard time removing them.

Rafe got the hint. He took hold of her pants and slid them off her hips. And the only thing left were her silky Victoria Secrets panties. Rafe gently took them off as well and Alison watched as they slid down her legs and fell to the floor. Rafe inhaled sharply.

There was only one thing left. Rafe had thought he would be nervous, which he was of course, but not as nervous as before. He felt comfortable with Alison, and he felt the nervousness just slip away. He watched as the woman he loved gently pulled down the boxers from his body. She added them to the pile of clothing on the floor, and she giggled as they slipped between the sheets.

"Rafe," Alison whispered against Rafe's lips. Rafe stopped his kisses for just a moment. "Rafe," Alison whispered again in a raspy voice. "I love you."

Rafe touched Alison's face and ran his finger along her lips. "I'll love you forever," he told her with a smile, and then resumed his kissing.

Rafe continued to let his emotions control him. At first, he had lingering thoughts of am I doing this right? But as he made love to Alison, those thoughts went away as he heard her softly moan in pleasure as she whispered his name repeatedly, "Rafe…Rafe…Rafe…"

After their lovemaking, the two collapsed in each other's arms, trying so desperately to return to normal breathing.

"Rafe…" Alison whispered very softly.

"Yeah?"

"Is this what heaven feels like?"

Rafe had to laugh. "This feels better than heaven."

Alison smiled at him and leaned forward to kiss him. Then, she rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes. Alison could feel his heart beating. It was beating as fast as hers.

Rafe felt like his heart would burst right out of his chest! He never knew it could beat so fast. He looked at Alison's face. Her breathing was more calm now, and she was apparently already in a deep slumber, completely exhausted from what had transpired between them moments ago. She also had a smile on her face.

Rafe looked up to the ceiling and watched the shadows from the light of the fire. "Wow," he whispered to himself. Then they both drifted off to sleep, blissfully satisfied.
