Last chapter… Hope you'll like it!

Please Read and Review! Thanks!

He entered back. She looked at him, looking for a hint, but he remained emotionless. "Joey has a lot of background at keeping feelings to himself", she thought. She couldn't wait any longer. She had to ask him;

"So?"

He sat down at the foot of the bed. "I talked to Ross."

"And?"

"Well..." he shrugged, without being able to suppress a little smile.

"Stop playing with me!", she said, punching his arm playfully.

"Ok, ok. I simply told him that I was still having feelings for you and that this time, you were at the same place as me. I told him I wasn't asking for his approval, but I had to tell him before doing anything. He wasn't totally comfortable with it, but he looked rather happy for us."

"Really? I mean... I didn't think he'd be mad... but he does have a tendency to overreact. So he was really ok with it?"

"Yeah! And you know what else?" He grinned.

She came closer and smiled, suspecting something interesting. "No what? Tell me."

"I think he was happy to see me leave too... He had company." He winked.

Laughing : "No! Charlie?" He nodded. "He's acting fast! Go Ross!"

They both stopped laughing and sighed. Their eyes met. They could feel the tension rise again as their hearts were beating faster and their breaths were getting synchronized. He touched her hand. She felt his warm hand enveloping hers. He started caressing the back of her hand, then all fingers one by one, using his index delicately. He looked at her with loving eyes. She knew he was nervous, but he still looked as strong and confident as always at this hour.

Yes, he was nervous. He's been with a lot of women, yet never felt as strong for any of them as he was feeling with her. After all these years of one night stands and failed relationships, Joey had almost giving up on his dream of having a stable girlfriend. Of course, he would brag about being single to any guy who'd ask him when he was going to grow and settle down. But deep down, he was tired of it. He'd look at Chandler and Monica and wish he had that special complicity with a woman too. And now, all his prayers had come true. He knew the opportunity wouldn't present itself again and that Rachel was his to love. And god, did he love her. He remembered how hard he tried to deny his feelings for her and how painful it was to hear her say she didn't love him back.

She took his hand and led it to her cheek. She closed her eyes and smiled. All his fears vanished. She wanted him at least as much has he wanted her. He leaned in and kissed her. Lightly at first, placing small kisses on her lips and cheeks, than with more passion, forbidding her to breathe. She responded with a light moan, caressing his shoulders and back. He broke off the kiss so he could look at her. She was out of breath, gazing at him with hungry eyes. She ran her hand through his hair and grabbed him by the back of the neck, driving him back to her. She kissed him in a way that he had to lie on his back. He managed to work his way to the head of the bed so he could rest his head on the pillows. She continued to kiss him, not allowing him to get away from her grip one second. She unbuttoned his shirt and opened it. Joey had always been very muscular, but she never fully appreciated how good Joey's body looked up until the last few weeks. She caressed his chest, exploring every inch of it with her fingers, then with her tongue. He closed his eyes and hissed at the feeling of the moist sensation of her licking and biting his body in a very sensual way.

She pulled him up so she could take his shirt off completely. He was now sitting on the bed. She sat on his lap, her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck, kissing him deeply.

"I want you so much", she murmured against his lips.

"I want you too", he managed to say in return. This time, nothing would stop them. Not even guilt because there wasn't any now.

"Make love to me."

That's all he needed to hear. He wanted it too. Not just the sex, but he wanted to feel close to her, Rachel, the only woman he's ever loved. He ran his hands up and down her back, caressing her soft skin. And then moved to the front of the dress and untied the little bow that was keeping it closed. She had beautiful breasts. Not so long ago, she would have been embarassed to let him look at her this way, but now, she had no inhibitions for him anymore and she was ready to share her intimacy with him. He plunged his head down to kiss the newly exposed skin. While doing so, he looked for the proper way to get her dress off, not finding the zipper. She realised it just before he could rip it off, short of ideas.

"Here", she says.

"Thanks"

She pulled her dress off in one movement, revealing the rest of her naked body to Joey for the first time. He stopped kissing her for a few seconds to look at her, to admire her perfect body.

"You're beautiful", he said. She smiled, also lusting at him, touching his bare shoulders and chest. She made him lie down again and touched his chest and stomach. She started caressing him through his jeans. He responded with a heavy moan from all the pleasure she was giving him. She bit the fabric, at the front of his jeans.

"Oh, yeah!"

"Like that, huh?" He nodded vigorously. His heart was racing. She was making him go crazy. He wanted to roll her on her back and take control... but he was enjoying her way too much and didn't want it to stop yet. She crawled back up to kiss him on the lips. They were both very aroused and could barely contain their excitement. He could hear a faint sound of metal. She had undone his belt and was now tugging on his pants. He raised his hips up so she could get his jeans off without too much effort...

"So, you were going commando today?", she said, noticing the lack of underwear.

"Yeah..." He blushed. She's seen him naked before, on several occasions. He's always been very comfortable with his nudity, but with her, he was feeling more vulnerable, as if his body was being discovered for the first time. By now, he couldn't hide his arousal anymore. She took a condom out of it's package and slowly placed it on him, making him shiver with anticipation. Once again, she kept the control and positioned herself on top of him.

"Oooo", he said from the wonderful sensation of feeling her around him.

She started moving her hips, very slowly, torturing him by this slow pace. He gave a single thrust, as if he wanted to tell her the right way to do it. She continued at her rhythm, making him moan again, making him even more impatient. This time, he put his hands on her hips and thrust even harder than the previous time.

She bit her bottom lip. There she was, riding her best friend. She was really enjoying it. He was too. He had trouble containing himself, but he loved that sensual game she was playing with him and let her do it her way. She was taking her time so the pleasure would last, but she wanted more too. She started to rock her hips and contracting around him. He was caressing her hips and ass, and thrusting at the same pace as her. The rhythm had accelerated a little bit. She lied on him, without stopping her rocking. Now that she was at his reach, he covered her with kisses and caressed her whole body. He couldn't support it anymore. He put his arms around her and rolled her over, without breaking apart and started thrusting.

"Yes! There... faster!", she shouted. He knew he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. Neither would she. He gave his last thrust and he collapsed on the bed, at her side, exhausted.

"Wow, she murmured.

"I know. Wow."

They both have always enjoyed sex a lot, but this time, it didn't feel like it was just sexual. They put their hearts and souls in every little move, every little touch.

"So that's what it's like with Joey Tribbiani. Interesting.", she teased.

He couldn't stop grinning. "Yup. And there's more where it came from.", he said laughing.

She rolled on her side to face him He was all sweaty from the effort and had that beautiful after sex glow over his face. "He's never looked so sexy", she thought to herself. The fact that she was the one who made him look that way made her even more happy. He opened his arm to greet her in his embrace. She rested her head on his chest and started rolling his chest hair between her fingers while he covered her with his massive arms. She loved those arms. They were protective and loving. In his arms, she knew that nothing bad could ever happen. She wished that there was a way to stay tucked in there forever. She closed her eyes.

"Joey?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you." She's never told him that. She's said things like she's had 'feelings', or 'thoughts', but she needed more exploring to do before being sure. They've been close in a friend's way for years and now, they were close in a lover's way. They were a perfect match. She told Joey she loved him and it didn't feel strange at all.

"I love you too Rach", he answered, half asleep. He kissed her forehead and hold her even tighter, caressing her shoulders and back.
