Amy stood by the window of the fishing cottage and watched the snowstorm unfold before her eyes. There was no way that Ty and she would be able to drive back tonight as planned. She had already informed her grandfather that they would have to spend the night at the cabin.

Amy was nervous. She had been dating Ty for six months now and loved him dearly. However she was not sure she was ready to spend the night with him. Up to now they had only kissed, mostly because there was no privacy for any more than that at Heartland. Now they were alone and they would not be interrupted by anyone. She was sure that Ty wanted to go further and it was only fair, as she also felt the need to be intimate with him. They had never talked about it, and Amy had not shared with him her profound fear of the first time.

She wished she could forget about the day when she was 11 years old and had fallen asleep on the couch downstairs where her mother had covered her with a blanket instead of sending her to bed. At three in the morning she had heard a noise outside and when she went to open the door she saw it was Lou back from her date with her boyfriend, Mike. She was talking to her girlfriend on the phone. She was in tears and Amy strained to hear what she was saying. Lou sobbed "Marlene, it was horrible…I have never been in that much pain…it felt like I was being broken in half; I am so sore, I will never do it again". Marlene replied something that Amy could not hear and Lou was opening the door, so she quickly went back to the couch and pretended to be fast asleep. The next day Lou had a miserable look on her face and was walking very slowly, wincing whenever she sat down. Amy had never forgotten that night and the following day and she had never told Lou that she knew. Since then Amy had been petrified of ever being intimate with a man, but she did not want to let Ty down.

"A penny for your thoughts"

Amy jumped when she felt Ty's arms around her waist. Ty was startled

"Sorry baby, I didn't' mean to scare you, is something wrong?"

Amy's heart was beating furiously

"I am sorry Ty; I was looking at the storm and thinking about how we are going to get back".

Ty cradled her face in his hands and kissed her

"It might clear by tomorrow; in the meantime let's enjoy some time alone tonight"

He wiggled his eyebrows at Amy seductively. Amy tensed. She took a deep breath "it will be fine, it will be fine, I love him" she thought to herself. She wiggled free and attempted a feeble smile.

"How about we eat something?"

Ty looked at Amy intently, he knew something was bothering her, but he decided to go along.

"Yes, why not, I feel quite hungry".

Amy went to the small kitchen area and reached for the bag of supplies they had packed and took out the sandwiches and the fruit. They sat at the table and ate in comfortable silence. Amy was clearing away the plates when she felt Ty embracing her from behind and planting a kiss on her neck

"God, you smell good, you are beautiful".

Amy turned around to kiss him. Ty kissed her passionately and started exploring her mouth with his expert tongue. His hands were stroking her back and settled on her bottom. He moaned in pleasure. Amy tensed and pushed him back

"How about we play Scrabble" she said, attempting to sound cheerful.

"Scrabble?" Ty asked incredulously "You want to play Scrabble?"

Amy blushed "It is still early and it will give us something to do"

Ty looked at his girlfriend and gave her a seductive smile

"I can think of more interesting things to do" and was about to pull her towards him, when he saw the look of fear in her eyes.

He took a step back "But you are right, a game of Scrabble will help pass the time".

Amy looked relieved. They sat at the small table in front of the couch and Amy started setting up the board and handing out the letters. Suddenly the room was filled with light, as lighting struck close to the cabin. Amy and Ty looked at each other wearily.

"I hope the mustangs are ok" Amy said.

Seconds later they were startled by a huge roll of thunder and the cabin windows shook. Then the electricity went off. Amy and Ty sat in the dark. Ty got up to find a flashlight and put it on the table. Amy was sitting on the couch and Ty joined her.

"Do you want to continue the game Amy? I guess the light is enough."

Amy nodded and they continued playing for another 30 minutes. Then the next problem surfaced. The electricity outage has also put an end to the portable heater and the cabin was slowly getting freezing cold. Amy shuddered and sneezed. Ty put a blanket around her.

"I think we better go to bed. I don't think that we can stay in this cold much longer and with the extra blankets and our body heat we should be able to keep warm" he said.

Amy nodded; the temperature was cooling by the second. Ty took of his boots and his sweater and got under the blankets in his jeans and t-shirt. Amy took off her shoes and joined him. Ty put an arm around her and pulled her to him. Amy shivered in the cold sheets and snuggled up to Ty's warm body. She stroked his back.

"I love you Amy Fleming" Ty kissed her tenderly on her cold lips.

"I love you Ty Borden"

Amy returned the kiss and soon they were caught in a passionate embrace, their tongues dancing as they explored each other's mouths. Ty felt his jeans straining as his blood pulsed in that place.

"You are beautiful" Ty whispered in Amy's ear.

He kissed her jaw line and proceeded to kiss her neck. Amy moaned. This felt so good. She was feeling flushed due to the heat that was now being generated between them.

"Do you want to get that sweater off, sweetheart?" Ty whispered in her ear.

Amy hesitated for a second and Ty took note, but then she sat-up and took off the heavy wool sweater. She was now clad in a simple white t-shirt. She lay back down and continued kissing Ty. After a long time of making out, Ty rolled on top of Amy and settled himself between her legs. Suddenly Amy felt his erection pushing against her. She tensed and pushed Ty to her left side. Ty laid next to her, stroking her belly, a concerned look in his eyes.

"Amy, I am sorry, I shouldn't have, I got carried away, I understand if you don't want to, I just thought…" Amy felt the tears rolling down her cheek as she interrupted Ty's speech with a kiss on his mouth.

"I am sorry Ty, I am sorry, I love you, I do want to, it is just that…" she hiccupped once and Ty looked at her, a panicked expression in his eyes. Amy blushed and told Ty the story about Lou, a story that she had never shared with anyone.

"You see, I was 11, ever since then I have been so scared of the pain, you are my first boyfriend, I have no experience and now I am upsetting you. Soon you will go back to Kit or any other girl who is not silly like me."

Ty sat against the headboard, settled Amy between his legs and hugged her to him.

"Oh Amy, I am sorry, I didn't know, I didn't want to scare you. I love you, don't you ever mention other girls. We will take it slow and whenever you are ready we will take the next step. Do you want to go to sleep?"

Amy snuggled against Ty's chest "No, I want to continue, we will not get another chance like this. I want to do this and I want to do it with you."
