I've had this idea swimming in my head for a while so I thought I would at least start it before the idea drives me crazy, haha. No clue how often I'll update since I have other WIPs, but I figured a first chapter wouldn't hurt. :P
The first chapter will be Rated T, but I plan on including M-rated material in later chapters. I will change the rating when it's appropriate.
High School Never Ends
Chapter 1:
~ SCORPION ~
Paige couldn't stop giving her man goo goo eyes from across the room ever since they left her apartment this morning. He had outdone himself last night, making her quiver and shake in ecstasy beneath him… above him… several times. It was the first night (of hopefully many) he had let her go down on him, and after blowing his mind out of his ears, to her surprise, he had wanted her to do it again, but not without him returning the favor at the same time.
They did that once more during their night of lovemaking and once again early, early in the morning before the sun was shining through the window.
And despite office hours, Paige really wanted to do some insanely wicked things to that beautiful, Irishman currently sitting 10 feet away from her. She started calculating how fast she could grab him, pull him into the Interrogation room, strip him buck naked and have her deliciously yummy way with him before anyone would notice that they were missing.
But then… she didn't have to.
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" Walter's voice was unexpectedly hoarse. He cleared his throat louder than he wanted and tugged on his collar a little. She but her lip and smiled, admiring how cute her boyfriend was being. "I have some… p-paperwork I need to d-discuss with you… up-upstairs," he held out his hand and offered her a flushing grin, "Come with me?"
Feeling all hot and bothered from his innuendo, Paige stood up abruptly, causing her chair to spin noisily away from her desk. Walter was quick to grab it before it crashed anywhere before rolling it back under her desk. She boldly laced her fingers with his and tugged him towards the stairs quietly but quickly, wanting to start on that "paperwork" as soon as humanly possible.
Happy and Toby shared a knowing glance across the garage from their desks as the genius and liaison disappeared into the loft, and the newlyweds smiled, glad their friends were taking a chance on happiness with each other.
After everything Walter and Paige have gone through together, they certainly deserved it.
Five years ago, Walter would have never imagined himself sneaking away from work for a 'quickie' with his girlfriend. But here he was, buck naked on the bed in his loft with the most stunningly beautiful woman to have ever lived, and he absolutely loved it. It was a strange feeling, but ever since he started dating Paige, ever since he was open to trying new things with her, he felt like he was truly living. Megan told him never to be afraid of love, and now that he wasn't, now that he was actively loving a woman who loved him in return, he felt somewhat free.
He was free of guilt. Free of shame and embarrassment. Free of the fear of isolation. If he had known what loving Paige would be like three years ago, he would have told her he loved her much sooner.
He would always regret not telling her soon enough and putting her through that emotional pain again and again and again, but they were both past that turmoil, and the ugliness… the dark years of their friendship… transformed into something beautiful.
For the first time in his life, Walter Patrick O'Brien knew what true happiness was, and he would do everything in his power to protect his relationship with Paige because he knew it would never come again with any other woman.
She's it.
She's everything.
She's the love of his life.
"We should go back downstairs," she whispered lowly into his ear as she feathered kisses down his jawline. "They might be waiting for us."
"Trust me," Walter chuckled as he encircled his arms around her bare waist, "when they need us, we'll know."
Paige poked Walter's nose and leaned forward to kiss his lips. "Still," she wiggled out of his grasp and slid off of the bed, "We need to get dressed." She latched her fingers around her boyfriend's hands and tugged him forward. "Come on, 197. Up and at 'em." The sheet fell away from his body as she pulled him off the bed, and she blinked with surprise as she caught a glimpse of the sight below his navel. "Well, it looks like something is up and ready for action again."
Walter flushed as Paige noted the time on the wall clock. They still had about ten minutes until Cabe was due to the garage so they did have some extra time to take care of Walter's current predicament….
Paige smirked, knowing exactly how to help.
"Come on, Mister," she grabbed her boyfriend's hand and tugged him over towards the bathroom door before turning to look into his eyes. She then glanced at his erection briefly before returning her attention to his face. She smirked wickedly and reached down below to feel him in her palm.
"Let's see what we can do to remedy that, shall we?"
After five minutes of waiting for Scorpion's newest power couple, Cabe was loosing his patience. The team had an important case coming up, and screwing around – literally screwing around – wasn't an option. Each team member needed to get their head in the game if they wanted to succeed because this operation will make everything they've done seem like child's play.
"Sorry we're late!" Paige exclaimed as she and Walter quickly descended down the stairs from the loft.
"Yes, the paperwork definitely took longer than we thought," Walter explained swiftly, hoping no one would notice his cheeks still flushing from earlier.
"Walter," Paige whispered closely into his ear, "I think they know…."
"You think?" Walter's face scrunched a little. "I didn't tell anyone though."
"Trust me," Paige pointed to the array of expressions around the room. "They know we weren't doing actual paperwork."
"Call it what you want," Toby smirked ear to ear, "but we all know whose pen you were screwi-using up there. In the shower, no less."
The genius and liaison blushed deeply, forgetting about their wet hair. Rookie's mistake.
"You did clean any surface you used up there, didn't you?" Sylvester bit his lip, praying for the answer he wanted to hear, but the couple simply glanced at one another before shaking their heads.
"It's my loft," Walter shrugged, but Paige stepped in front of her boyfriend to reassure Sylvester that they didn't do anything outside of Walter's bedroom. The statistical theoretician sighed with relief, causing both Paige and Walter to chuckle quietly.
The Irish genius shamelessly wrapped his arms around Paige's middle and tugged her close to him, encouraging her to lean her head against his collarbone. Paige smiled and slid her arms over his before leaning upward to greet his lips with a quick kiss.
The PDA was something the others certainly weren't used to, but if it makes the couple happy, then it was worth it for the team to adjust to this new Walter and Paige as best as they can.
"Now that we're all here," Cabe cleared his throat to change the subject, causing everyone to direct their attention towards him, "we've got a case, and it's a doozy."
"Can't be as bad as anything else we've done," Toby replied simply as he sat down on the corner of the conference table.
"It's worse," Cabe responded instantly before sending the conversation off to the woman standing behind Sylvester. "Deputy Director Katherine Cooper has the details. All of you may want to sit down."
Toby suddenly threw his hands outward. "Quit with the suspense, would ya?! Just tell us already."
"You're really not going to like this," Katherine replied, agreeing with Cabe. "But here it goes. As of today, Team Scorpion will be manning an undercover operation in the most ruthless of places. And I guarantee that some of you will want to quit before you're barely started, but that is not an option." Katherine handed everyone their dossiers. "We need Scorpion at 110%. Got that?"
The team opened up the folios and began reading. Sly fainted, Toby grabbed the book beside him and banged his head with it, Happy chucked the folio as far away from her as possible, and Walter groaned loudly. Cabe already knew his assignment and had no response, and Paige sighed an "Oh boy."
"Be sure to pack what you need by tonight because we fly out to Florida tomorrow," Katherine instructed before turning to Paige. "Here's a dossier for your son if you're okay with him participating too."
"I'll look at it," Paige nodded, and Katherine smiled warmly. She glanced at Cabe. "You think they'll be okay for this job?"
The agent gave a quick nod. "Yes. No matter the difficulty, they'll succeed. I'll be sure to keep them in line."
"Good. We're going to need them at their absolute best." Katherine let out a breath and wondered if she had picked the right team for the job. She glanced at Happy who had started pounding sheets of metal as hard as humanly possible to vent her anger, and then sighed loudly as she saw Toby still slamming his head with a book and Sylvester passed out on the floor. They're taking it worse than she thought, but Team Scorpion was her best bet. "I've got to go back to Homeland for a few hours, but I'll be back to explain the operation in full." Katherine smirked a little bit at the team and gave them a thumb's up. "Better get your A-Game on, Team Scorpion. High School starts on Monday."
