Invisible Liaison

I just borrowed them for the story
Darien rolled over in bed and stared up at the ceiling. It was Friday night,
and here he was laying in bed alone. It was months since Aleanora and
he had been together.
He was really hating his life tonight. He'd grown use to the gland and since
things had gotten so involved with the terrorist attack he didn't have to
do what ever the Agency wanted for counteragent. They were more liberal
with the blue liquid now. He and Bobby had spent months in the Mid East
helping to bring down members of the Taliban and other groups.
He was recovered from his wound, but he wasn't back to full duty yet.
He checked the clock and saw it wasn't very late. It was just after eleven.
He climbed out of bed and dressed. He pulled on a gray shirt Claire had
given him. She was attempting to get him to dress from the current decade
instead of all is hand me down clothes from thrift shops. He wore it with
a pair of slim leg black jeans.
Darien went down to the boardwalk at the pier. There was always something
going on there, even at night. Music spilled out of the club on the corner,
he headed for the side door. He stood just inside the door as his eyes
adjusted to the dim light inside. There was dancing to music played by
a DJ up in a booth by the tiny stage. Darien moved towards the bar and
ordered a shot of Tequila.
He knocked back his drink then turned to look the room over again. There
didn't seem to be any ladies with out a partner. He'd picked the wrong night
to go looking for companionship. He stayed and listen to the song that was
playing and was about to leave when someone spoke to him.
"Hi, don't I know you from college?" A soft feminine voice asked.
Darien turned and smiled at her, then realized it was Alex. An Alex he'd
never seen before she was dressed in a short skirt, soft silk blouse and tiny
little pumps. Her hair was all done so it framed her face and she was wearing
more make up than usual.
"Alex? I didn't know you were back from the east coast."
"I just got back. I thought you were still recovering?" She asked, looking up at
him. She was touching his arm with one slender hand, like his next statement was
very important.
"I'm recovered, but I don't start work again until Claire Ok's it.
She wanted me to rest a few more days." Darien was feeling like Alex was putting
the move on him. Not that he would turn her down, he liked Alex. She'd changed
for the better since she had come to work for the Agency. She was more of a team
player now.
"I'm glad your better." Alex purred, and moved closer.
Darien was beginning to wonder how many drinks she'd had.
"Why don't we go sit down?" Darien steered her towards a empty table.
"No, lets dance." Alex pulled him towards the area where people were
moving to the music. She began to undulate with the beat, but she was
making contact with him ever few seconds. Darien decided to go along,
and began to dance also. He wasn't sure if she was teasing him, or if
she was nearly drunk or she was serious. But she moved nice, it was
giving him ideas about how they could end the evening later.
"You're a good dancer."
"You're not bad yourself. I didn't know you went to clubs." Darien commented,
while admiring the way her blouse revealed her taunt abdomen every other beat.
The song ended and the DJ announced it was his break, but he'd be back soon.
"I'd like a drink." Alex grinned up at him, her hand pressed against his shirt
front.
Darien was looking for a place to sit, but all the tables were taken now.
"How many drinks have you had so far tonight?"
"Oh, not many ....three, four I guess."
"I think you need some fresh air lets talk a walk on the beach."
Darien took her hand and guided her towards the door.
Alex wasn't drunk but she was loose enough to be acting on an attraction she'd
felt for Darien almost from day one. But then she had to get her son back. It
was the only thing that mattered to her. But it was over a year later now, her
son had turned out to be Stark's son. She'd given him up for his own safety.
But Darien was still here, and he was with her now. She'd been surprised to find
him at the same club. She'd watched him for nearly a half hour, getting up the
courage to ask him to dance. She was usually very sure of her self, but with men
in a non work setting she sometimes reverted to her old high school days of
painfully shy little Alexandra the wall flower.
Darien was still holding her hand, as he strolled down the beach. She stopped
and took off her shoes. Making her several inches shorter. Her nose came level
with his collar bone, she'd always liked tall men.
"Darien do you like me?" She was resting her hand on his chest again looking
into his eyes.
"Yeah, I like you Alex."
"I like you too." She smiled then lifted her hand and smacked it on his
shoulder.
"Tag you're it!" she giggled and ran off down the beach.
Darien was so surprised by her action he just stood there at first. By the time
he jumped to chase after her, she had a good head start on him.
Alex dodged out of his reach giggling the whole time. But Darien was faster and
managed to grab her around the waist and lift her off her feet as she dodged
into the low outgoing tide.
Alex squealed as he lifted her off her feet. But she didn't struggle further,
she melted into his body and waited for his next move.
Darien felt her relax under his hold. He'd not planned what he would do if he
caught her. He was still worried she was only behaving this way because she'd
had to much to drink. He didn't want to take advantage of that, he cared about
Alex and he didn't want to ruin their working relationship.
"You caught me." Alex panted.
"I'm faster than you." he said as he returned her to the ground.
"You're stronger too." Alex said caressing her hand over his forearm and turning
to face him.
"Yeah but you could beat my ass if you wanted to and we both know it."
Darien said, then he bounced away from her. "Now you're it."
"Hey no fair," Alex called after him. She ran after him and he easily avoided
her
for several minutes. Then he pretended to trip and landed in the sand.
Alex jumped on top of him and yelled "Ha, got you."
They were both laughing, and out of breath slightly.
"Ok I give up you win."
"I don't want to win. I want to ..." she moved off of him and stood up.
"Hey, Alex don't get mad." Darien moved swiftly to his feet and stopped
her from walking away. "What do you want? I'm never sure with you.
You've gotten Bobby all fired up before then shot him down just because
you can. Tell me Alex, is this for real?"
"Yes, it's for real." She grabbed him by the back of the neck and kissed him
deeply, moving in close so that her breasts were pressed into his chest
while their mouths were joined.
Darien responded, opening his mouth to her seeking tongue. Smoothing a
hand over her back and burying the other one in her hair. Alex ended
the kiss and leaned her face into his shoulder.
" Damn, that was better than I expected."
Darien smiled and continued to move a hand over her back. He'd been affected
by the kiss too. He'd not realized she wanted him, not like this.
"Maybe we should go back to your place, or my place and talk?" He offered.
"I guess we could do that." Alex said but she stayed pressed against him, not
making a move to leave.
Darien sighed and decided to enjoy the moment.
::::::::::::::::::::::::
Alex suggested they go to her place, but Darien drove her car. He wasn't willing
to let her drive, he still wasn't sure how much she was under the influence.
"This is nice, it's been a while since I was here." Darien complemented her
apartment after she opened the door.
"Make yourself at home. I'm going to put on some coffee." Alex disappeared
into the kitchen.
Darien wandered about the living room looking at paintings and checking her
music collection. It was long on instrumentals but there was some new wave
stuff and a few from the fifties.
" Are you hungry, I can fix you something to eat?"
"You cook?"
"I can make a sandwich."
"No thanks, come sit down, I think we have to talk." Darien waited for her
to choose her seat on the end of the couch, then took the chair next to her.
Alex was feeling nervous, she'd made the opening move and he'd welcomed
her advance but then it hadn't gone any farther. She was afraid he was about
to tell her he really like her, but couldn't they just be friends.
"Alex, we both have it kind of tough. Working for the Agency, having to keep
secrets about our jobs from people. I would like to spend more time with you
but not if this was just for kicks."
"Kicks? You think I'd be that callous with a friend?"
"I don't know. I never know with you. But I don't want to start anything between
us if there is no chance of it developing. I want at least the chance of there
being
more."
"If you only knew." Alex whispered.
"I'm sorry what did you say?"
"Darien my relationships with men in the past have been difficult. My strong
personality puts them off, or my job keeps me busy. Most men aren't willing to
take a back seat to a woman's career, no matter what they may say up front."
"I understand about your career that won't be a problem."
"Let me finish. I was rude and unfriendly with you and Hobbes when I first got
here because I didn't want to get hurt again. Then it looked like I would be
staying
longer than I'd planned. I couldn't maintain the false front forever. Then when
things turned out they way they did and you guys backed me up, even after the
way I acted." she paused and looked at him.
" You were dealt a bad hand from the start. I don't blame you for reacting to
protect yourself." Darien returned her gaze, his eyes soft and understanding.
"One of reasons I was such a bitch from the start was I was attracted to you.
Even when my world was crumbling around my ears, you made me feel. I really
hated that in myself. I shouldn't have even noticed you, not with my son
missing."
"Alex stop beating yourself up over that. Chrysalis tricked you, they tricked us
all."
She sighed, she was going to kiss him again and she hoped he didn't push her
away a second time. Alex licked her lips then moved towards him, she knelt
beside his chair and leaned forward, bracing a hand on his body, she placed a
passionate kiss on his mouth.
