“Cherish” ~ Madonna

So tired of broken hearts and losing at this game
Before I start this dance
I take a chance in telling you
I want more than just romance
You are my destiny, I can't let go baby can't you see
Cupid please take your aim at me

Cherish the thought
Of always having you here by my side (oh baby I)
Cherish the joy
You keep bringing it into my life (I'm always singing it)
Cherish your strength
You got the power to make me feel good (and baby I)
Perish the thought
Of ever leaving, I never would

I was never satisfied with casual encounters
I can't hide my need for two hearts that bleed with burning love
That's the way it's got to be
Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet
So don't underestimate my point of view

Who? You! Can't get away I won't let you
Who? You! I could never forget to
Cherish is the word I use to remind me of your love

Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet
So don't underestimate my point of view

Who? You! Can't get away I won't let you
Who? You! I could never forget to
Cherish is the word I use to remind me of your love

Give me faith, give me joy, my boy
I will always cherish you

Anne awoke first the next morning, stretching a bit beside Sean. She had to go to the bathroom, so she slowly slid out from under his arm and got up. The bathroom floor was cold again this morning: she got goosebumps just from stepping on it. Anne relieved herself, realizing as she flushed the toilet that her backside was a bit sticky from the prior night’s activities… she giggled to herself quietly as she started the shower: Sean certainly had claimed her last night, and she had loved every second of it.

Stepping under the warm spray, Anne stretched and let the water run over her body. The pelting wetness relaxed her muscles…

She heard the sound of Sean entering the bathroom and relieving himself as she lathered her hands with soap and gently washed her backside… thankfully, he didn’t flush and she didn’t have to suffer through the shower turning cold.

Sean playfully poked his head into the stall, grinning at her. “Good morning, love”

“Morning” she replied, returning his smile. “Did you sleep well?”

“Very” Sean teased, stepping into the shower with her. “And you, sweetheart?”

Anne moved close to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Of course: I had my big, gorgeous Seannie next to me…”

Sean leaned down and kissed her, placing his hands on the small of her back. Their tongues collided, sweetly mating to one another. Sean slid his hands down…

Anne cried out into their kiss as his fingers dug into her flesh, pulling back. “Easy, Seannie…”

“Did I hurt you last night?” he inquired, his eyes full of concern. Sean tenderly drew his fingertips over her backside, trying to gauge whether or not he had injured her.

Anne shook her head. “No, last night was wonderful… besides, I imagine it’s normal for both of us to be a bit sore after last night: we both lost our virginity, after all…

Sean chuckled, grasping the bar of soap that was on the shower ledge behind her and lathering his hands behind her back before he drew them over her bottom, cleansing her gently. Anne couldn’t help but moan: she could feel his love for her in his touch. She looked up at him and met his gaze, instantly falling into the deep emerald of his eyes.

“Thank you” she whispered, leaning forward and kissing his chin.

“You’re thanking me?” Sean questioned, smiling. “I should be thanking you, love… you gave me something absolutely precious last night…”

Anne blushed at his praise, lowering her gaze to his chest. “Sean… You’re really sweet, you know that?”

He chuckled at her words, drawing his soapy hands up over her back and shoulders. “I’ve been called a lot of things over the years, but sweet isn’t one of them”

“I don’t know how that’s possible” she argued. “You’re the sweetest man I’ve ever known”

“Maybe you just bring it out in me, love” Sean surmised, running his hands down her arms.

“I doubt that very much” Anne replied, wetting her hair under the spray.

Sean grinned and, using some shampoo, lathered her hair for her. “Doubt it all you want, sweetheart… Ask the other blokes if you like… They all seem to think that you’re good for me”

“We’re good for each other” Anne retorted teasingly, closing her eyes in bliss as Sean massaged her scalp with his large fingers. “I don’t think that anyone has ever washed my hair as well as you do…”

“That’s because I have almost a half a foot on you, darling” Sean answered, referring to their difference in height.

“Mmm, think your ‘little friend’ is more than that” she teased, playfully referring to his manhood.

“Love, I’ve warned you what happens when you talk about ‘him’… ‘He’ has excellent hearing…”

Anne giggled and opened her eyes, gazing up at him.

“God, I love it when you look at me like that” Sean stated, pausing to gently stroke her cheeks. The love that he saw in her eyes was so heady, so beautifully clear: it made his heart sing. He had to shake his thoughts away. “You’re going to get shampoo in your eyes… close them and lean your head back, sweetheart…”

Anne did as he asked, his large hands sweeping over her hair as he rinsed it clean. When he gently brought her head back up, she couldn’t help but smile: it never ceased to amaze her how tender he could be. Leaning forward, Anne pressed her body to his, lacing her arms around his waist. “I love you, big guy…”

She was quite affectionate this morning: but Sean wasn’t complaining. The way that she held him against her body felt incredibly good. He kissed the top of her head and smiled. “I love you, too, little one”

Anne giggled, deciding to change subjects for the moment. “I was thinking about making us a big breakfast again”

“Sounds wonderful… besides, I think that you need a break after last night…”

Pulling back, Anne raised her left eyebrow at him. “Oh, really? I can handle anything you throw at me, Seannie…”

“I don’t doubt it” Sean replied, grinning. “I need some caffeine, though, and your ‘battery acid’ always fits the bill”

“I should be angry with you for that” Anne quipped, “but you just look so damn cute this morning…”

“Do I?’ Sean inquired, rubbing her back.

“Yes, and you know that you do…”

He chuckled and pressed a kiss to her forehead. “May I wash my hair, darling?”

Anne stepped aside so that Sean could get under the spray, watching the way that his muscles played under his skin as he moved. He was absolutely beautiful… “Should I… get breakfast started…?” Anne inquired.

“If you’d like to, darling… although I do have something that needs washing, if you’re interested…”

Anne giggled, already knowing where this was going as he lathered his hair with shampoo. “Gee… wonder what that could be?”

“I was thinking my back, love… but if you’re offering…”

She snorted, playfully popping him on the behind. “You are so full of it, Bean”

“Hey, now… I let your bum alone, you could at least return the favor” Sean protested, chuckling. Turning around, he rinsed his hair under the spray and smiled when he felt her soapy hands caress his manhood.

Anne knew what to do to make him moan, and she didn’t hesitate: she drew her hands over him one after the other, daring to dip them between his legs and clean the sensitive flesh there.

“Naughty girl” Sean teased, leaning down and pressing his chin to the top of her head.

“I’m only naughty because you made me this way…”

“I doubt that” he answered, wrapping his arms around her. “You’ve always been naughty, just needed someone to be naughty with, you did”

“Don’t you think you should rinse off?” Anne queried, smiling against his chest.

“Mm-hm… but your hands feel so fucking good, lovie…”

She had to stifle a laugh: the very idea that Sean had once made protestations to her about his age was ludicrous. The man had an incredible libido, as was witnessed by the fact that he was once again hard as a rock and enjoying the way that she touched his cock. Since she had been with him, not a day had gone by where they hadn’t made love at least twice…

“You’re insatiable, you know that?” Anne inquired, rubbing the top of her head against his chin.

“Mm, I think I’m in good company, sweetheart” he retorted, wincing with pleasure as Anne stroked him once more from base to tip. “You can’t tell me that you aren’t enjoying yourself… that you aren’t thinking about taking me inside of you, about how good it’ll feel…”

Anne shut her eyes at his tone: god, it was like liquid baritone entering her ears and immediately attacking her soul. “Sean…”

He understood her plea better than she did. Separating from her for a moment, he pivoted, rinsing his cock and upper thighs clean.

She had thought that he meant to take her in the shower: but Sean fooled her, shutting off the water and exiting the stall. A few seconds later, Anne was taking a light blue bath towel from his hand, drying herself off as he did the same. “Seannie?”

Gazing at her, Sean was immensely pleased with the desire he saw in her eyes, coupled with a bit of confusion. He tousled his hair with his towel and then tossed it aside, allowing it to land on the floor.

“You are so messy” Anne breathed, stepping out of the shower. “You shouldn’t throw your towels on the floor like that…”

Sean silenced her by pulling her into his embrace and kissing her soundly, lifting her body upward and maneuvering the both of them into the bedroom once more.

“I see” Anne giggled, looking up at him as Sean deposited her on the mattress, “you prefer the bed…”

“Aye, I do” he answered, climbing over her. “I’m in a romantic mood after last night, love”

Anne reached up and traced her fingertips over his mouth. “Mm, it was good, Sean… but I don’t know if I can handle more of that right this minute”

“Darling… I’m not talking about doing that again so soon… although it was absolutely delectable” Sean broke away from her touch, brushing his lips over the tender skin of her throat. “I just want to make love to you, nice and slow…”

Anne sighed in pleasurable agreement as he found the sensitive spot under her right ear, his tongue caressing the area. “Mm, yes, Sean…”

“What you gave me last night, love… Fucking hell, it was beautiful… I want you to know just how very much I appreciate it…”

Turning her head, Anne captured his lips with her own. Their tongues battled tenderly as Sean parted her legs with his own and slid into her.

God in heaven, she was so wet: proof to Sean that she had indeed wanted him in the shower, just as he had suspected. He rolled his hips to hers, bringing her pleasure as he took his own…

This was one of the moments that made him feel young again… young, and incredibly loved…

Sean moved slowly, leisurely, feeling her meet his every thrust with one of her own. Christ, it felt so good, her kisses were so good, her little body beneath him…

Their orgasms were hard and shattering, forcing yelps from both of them.

Lying there in the afterglow, Anne with her head on his chest, Sean whispered, “I guess breakfast will have to wait”

Anne giggled softly, stroking his abdomen. “I think I need a nap”

“Mm, I need one as well… You drain me, love: emotionally and literally…”

She playfully nipped at his side, hearing his laughter.

“All right, all right… I’m sorry. No more biting, sweetheart… let’s get some more sleep”

Resting her cheek on his chest once more, Anne nodded and closed her eyes. She had never felt so contented in her life…
