“How’d it go?” Kelly asked Stella as she got in the car, where thankfully Kelly had kept the heat on. It was a cold January night and Stella couldn’t wait to get home and into something more comfortable.
“I think Pelham’s still processing” Stella replied with a small laugh. “He was shocked but he’s happy” she continued as she looked over at her fiancé. “Enough about work though. Let’s go home so I can thank you properly for my ring” Stella said as she leaned over the centre console and gave Kelly a sweet kiss.
Kelly smiled into the kiss. “No arguments here” he said as he put the car into gear and started driving home. He grabbed Stella’s hand and laced their fingers together, smiling to himself as he felt the engagement ring now securely on her left hand.
Buying the ring had been a complete spur of the moment decision, much like his initial proposal a few months ago. When he heard Jeff, the victim from yesterday, talking about his wedding band being a symbol of him being the luckiest man in Chicago, Kelly realised that’s what he wanted for him and Stella. He’d known for years that he was the luckiest man to have her in his life. He’d known for even longer that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He just needed to make sure Stella knew it too.
The last few weeks had been hell on the both of them and their relationship but they were finally in a good place again. As he listened to Jeff telling Deb how much the last 30 years had meant to him, Kelly couldn’t help but picture him and Stella in 30 years’ time - hopefully surrounded by their children and maybe even their grandchildren.
Straight after shift this morning, as Stella went to headquarters to try and save Pelham’s career, Kelly headed to a few jewellery stores to buy Stella’s long overdue engagement ring. Seeing how determined Stella was to help Pelham made Kelly fall even more in love with her. He was in awe of the passion and kindness she continued to show in every aspect of her life and he was positive that tonight would be the perfect way to show her how much he loved her.
He knew Stella wasn’t the flashy type, so he was looking for something simple yet beautiful and elegant. He finally found the perfect ring in the fourth store he entered. The white gold cushion cut ring was the perfect one for Stella.
Pulling up to a red light, he looked over at Stella who was staring out the window lost in her own thoughts. He still couldn’t quite believe she’d agreed to marry him. Twice. Raising their entwined hands, he placed a gentle kiss on the back of her hand. She looked over at him with a gentle smile as the lights turned green again.
As soon as they walked in the door of their apartment, Stella kicked off her heels and let out a satisfied sigh. “That’s so much better” she stated as she gently rubbed her right foot.
Kelly chuckled slightly as he opened the fridge. “Want a beer?”
“Yes please. What a day, I’m so tired” she let out as she lay down on the couch, head propped up on a pillow.
“Yeah well going toe to toe with the Deputy Commissioner and then taking down a DDC will do that to you” Kelly responded with a laugh as he handed Stella her beer and lifted her legs so they were resting across his lap.
“And don’t forget I’ve been carrying around this rock the last 2 hours” Stella said with a wide grin as she admired her ring. “I really do love it Kelly. Thank you” she said sincerely, looking Kelly in the eye so he knew she meant every word.
“Figured it was about time. I did promise you a ring months ago” he stated as he gently started massaging her feet.
“That you did” Stella replied looking at Kelly with a loving smile on her face. “Mmmm that feels so good. Thanks babe” Stella sighed contently as he continued rubbing his thumb on the sole of her foot.
Stella sat up after a few minutes and scooted closer to Kelly, knees bent as her legs were still across his lap. She wrapped her arms across his shoulders in a side hug as she rested her chin on his shoulder. She gave him a soft kiss before breaking the comfortable silence.
“You said tonight that you’re the luckiest man in Chicago. I’m pretty lucky too to always have you by my side. Your support means everything to me, you know that right?”
Kelly simply nodded before he leaned in for another kiss, deeper this time. He laid Stella gently on the couch as he hovered above her, the two continuing to make out for a few minutes.
Cupping Kelly’s face in her hands, Stella softly moaned into the kiss. She closed her eyes and let out a breathless sigh as Kelly started leaving a trail of kisses along her jawline and then down the plunging neckline of her dress.
“C’mon let’s go to bed” she finally said, pushing him gently off her. Pecking her again on the lips, Kelly slowly got off the couch, gathering their empty beer bottles as he made his way to the kitchen.
Entering their room, Stella stood at her dressing table to take off her earrings, necklace and bracelet. Throwing her hair up in a messy bun she then started wiping off her make-up with some wipes.
Kelly was already changed into a pair of loose fitting pyjama pants, no shirt.
“Hey can you unzip me babe?”
“Gladly” Kelly responded with a laugh as he made his way over to Stella. As he slowly lowered the zipper of her gown, Kelly started kissing her neck, gently sucking just below her ear. Looking in the mirror to see Stella’s reaction, Kelly saw she had her eyes closed and lips parted slightly, make-up wipe held limply by her side.
Kelly pulled down the thin straps of Stella’s gown, following the exposed skin with a trail of soft kisses. He continued by pulling down the top of Stella’s dress, exposing her perky breasts. Cupping both breasts in his hands, Kelly started massaging them slightly, as he continued kissing Stella’s neck.
Dropping her head back onto Kelly’s shoulder Stella let out a loud moan before turning around to kiss Kelly properly. He ran his tongue across Stella’s lips to gain access, to which she instantly parted her lips.
Moaning into the kiss, Stella wrapped her arms around Kelly’s neck, pulling him even closer, their naked chests pressed against one another. She felt Kelly push her dress down her waist and she helped him by shimmying out of it. Stepping out of her dress, she draped it over the chair in the corner of the room. Sex or no sex, the dress was a rental and she didn’t need it getting damaged.
Slowly walking back towards Kelly, Stella looped her index finger in the waist of his pants and pulled him closer, kissing him again. She pushed down his pants so they pooled around his ankles then pushed him back so he was sitting on their bed. Kicking off his pyjama pants, Kelly sat completely naked, looking up at Stella and admiring her mostly naked body.
He gently grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to him. She sat on his lap as he pulled her in for another kiss, both of them groaning slightly as they felt Kelly’s erect penis pressed against Stella’s core. Kelly could already feel the moisture through Stella’s thin black lace underwear.
Knowing Stella would be sensitive, he gently ran his thumb over her clitoris, through the thin fabric of her underwear. She gasped slightly at the sensation but continued Kelly’s actions by rubbing herself against his hand. Kelly nudged her up slightly so she could stand up and he could slowly pull down her underwear.
Kicking off her underwear, Stella sat herself on Kelly’s lap again, both of them now completely naked except for the engagement ring on Stella’s finger and the chain around Kelly neck.
Wrapping her legs around Kelly’s waist, the pair continued to make out as Kelly started playing with Stella’s nipples with one hand and massaging her butt cheek with the other.
Stella rubbed herself against Kelly’s erection, needing to feel more of him. She felt like she would burst soon and this was just foreplay.
Sensing she was ready for more, Kelly gently lifted Stella and she slowly lowered herself onto him. She rested her forehead against his as she adjusted to the sensation of him filling her up. After a few seconds Stella started moving her hips rhythmically as she locked lips again with Kelly.
As she kept riding him, Stella threw her head back in pleasure, holding onto Kelly’s shoulders in a tight grip. Kelly continued to rub Stella’s clit with one hand as he took one of her nipples in his mouth and sucked gently. His free hand was splayed across the small of Stella’s back, holding her close.
Stella let out a loud moan as she felt herself coming closer to an orgasm. Kelly’s hot mouth on her breast almost sending her over the edge.
Sensing she was close, Kelly suddenly stopped what he was doing and flipped them over so that Stella was on her back. She let out a small noise in protest before he kissed her roughly, effectively preventing Stella from doing or saying anything else.
Needing to feel him again, Stella lowered her hand to stroke Kelly’s penis, but he grabbed both her hands and pinned them above her head.
“Uh uh, no touching” he said with a smirk on his face as he looked down at her. She was about to make what he was sure would be a smart ass comment when he entered her again, hard and fast this time. Stella couldn’t help the gasp that left her mouth as she felt him move in her. She wrapped her legs around his waist again, pulling his body tightly against her own.
“Let go of my hands Kelly. I need to...” but she trailed off, all rational thought escaping her. Kelly let her hands go and she immediately gripped his torso, digging her nails in his muscled back.
A few thrusts later and Stella was sent over the edge. Kelly held off as long as he could, but seeing Stella ride out the waves of pleasure was making it hard. He came a few seconds later with one last thrust and a loud grunt. He collapsed on top of Stella, still inside of her, both of them breathing heavily.
Stella savoured the weight of Kelly’s body against her own, pulling him closer as he made a move to roll off her. She wrapped her arms across his back as she left a soft kiss on his cheek.
“Stay here for a bit” she reassured him quietly, gently caressing the hair at the base of Kelly's head.
Afraid that he might crush her, Kelly moved to Stella’s side despite her soft protests. He gave her a deep kiss as he cupped one of her breasts, both of them moaning into the kiss.
“Thank you for my ring Kelly” Stella said with a chuckle. “I think I'm done for tonight, but I’ll thank you again tomorrow morning” she finished as she kissed him again with a quick peck on the lips. The pair quickly fell asleep wrapped in each other’s arms, both of them exhausted from the day’s events.
The next morning, Stella woke up to an empty bed. Feeling Kelly’s side, it was cool to her touch, which meant he’d been up for a while.
Pulling on one of Kelly’s old t-shirts she walked into the kitchen to find a shirtless Kelly at the stove, cooking what looked like pancakes.
“Morning sunshine” she said tenderly as she wrapped her arms around his waist, simultaneously placing a kiss on his shoulder and running her hands over his abs.
“Morning” Kelly replied as he pulled one of her hands to his lips to leave a soft kiss. “Now get back into bed, I’ll bring these in soon. Maybe just pour us some coffee first?”
“Someone’s in a bossy mood this morning” Stella responded with a laugh, before pouring herself and Kelly coffee and taking the mugs back to their room.
As she waited for Kelly to come back, Stella pulled out her iPad and started Googling ideas for their wedding. Neither her or Kelly wanted anything big or fancy but they definitely wanted a celebration with their nearest and dearest. After everything they’d been through over the last few years, they deserved to celebrate their wedding day and make it as memorable as possible.
As Stella was looking at possible wedding venues, outdoor preferably, Kelly walked in with a tray loaded with pancakes, fruit slices and maple syrup.
“God that smells good” she said as she took the tray from Kelly, so he could get into bed next to her.
“We’ve got blueberry and just plain buttermilk pancakes. Take your pick babe”.
“I’ll have some of each. I’m starving” Stella said dramatically. Kelly laughed at her antics and handed her a fork so she could start eating.
They ate in relative silence for a few minutes before Stella spoke again.
“So I was thinking of maybe a spring wedding. Something small, but still classy. And outdoors. Just the people from 51, Casey, your mom, Katie, Aunt Laverne and Uncle Ray and some of the guys from Intelligence and Med. What do you think?” Stella asked as she looked to Kelly for a response.
“I was thinking the same thing, but I was thinking we could do it at the cabin. I mean it was my dad’s and it’s also where we got back together. I think it’s only fitting we get hitched there”.
“I’d love that” Stella responded softly as she pulled Kelly in for a tender kiss. A wedding at the cabin would ensure a piece of Benny was with them on the day. Despite how strained their relationship was Stella knew that Kelly missed his dad and wished that he could be there to see how far Kelly had come in his relationship with Stella.
Once they’d finished eating, Stella placed the empty tray at the foot of the bed and pulled out her iPad again to show Kelly some of her ideas. She knew that Sylvie would probably take over the actual planning of the wedding, but it would be good for Stella and Kelly to agree on some of the big ticket items before they handed it over to Sylvie to work out the finer details.
Stretching her legs slightly, Stella forgot about the tray sitting on the bed, almost knocking it to the floor. “Shit, let me take that out before I break something. I’ll be back in a sec”.
Returning to their room a few minutes later, Stella kissed Kelly and was about to settle herself next to him, when he pulled her to him so that she was sitting between his legs, her back pressed against his chest.
“Let’s see what else you had in mind, because let’s be honest there’s only so much wedding planning I have the brainpower for before I just let you make all the decisions” Kelly stated with a laugh.
“You and me both. At the end of the day I just wanna marry you. I’d marry you tomorrow if you wanted to” Stella finished softly as she craned her head back to look at Kelly. He lowered his lips to hers in a soft kiss.
“How about this. You decide on at least 5 things in the next 30 mins and I might reward you for it” Kelly stated as he slipped his hand under Stella’s shirt, gently caressing her toned belly. He made a mental note that she wasn’t wearing any underwear.
Kelly’s hand on her stomach tickled a little. Stella giggled as she asked “Oh yeah? How’re you gonna do that?”
“Maybe I’ll start with this” Kelly stated as he gently ran his fingertips across Stella’s hardened nipples “and end with this” Kelly started playing with Stella’s clit, then traced a finger along her entrance, already feeling the wetness that was pooling between Stella’s legs.
“If you think I’m gonna get anything done now, you’re wrong” Stella stated. She moaned loudly as she relaxed her body back into Kelly’s chest, dropping her head back as Kelly gently slid two fingers inside Stella.
“Don’t start something you’re not gonna finish Kelly”
“Who said I’m not gonna finish this?” Kelly asked with a raised brow. Kelly abruptly removed his fingers from Stella’s body and nudged her forward so that she was on all fours. Quickly pulling down his pants, Kelly stroked himself a couple times before entering Stella from behind.
They both groaned as he started moving inside her, the angle of their bodies causing Stella to be tighter than usual.
“Faster Kelly” Stella breathed out.
Kelly did as he was told, gripping Stella’s waist firmly on either side, letting the occasional grunt escape him as he continued to thrust in and out of her.
They spent the rest of their day alternating between pleasuring each other and snuggling in bed, their moans filling the room well into the afternoon.
It was going to be one of those lazy days where they had nowhere else to be except with each other, and neither Kelly or Stella had any complaints about that.
