Another Weekend
Chapter 1
Amanda woke slowly, feeling the warm length of her husband pressed against her, and she smiled contentedly as she rested against his sleeping form. They had been married only a few months and were seldom able to spend the whole night together, and when they could, Amanda relished the sensation of having Lee close to her. Not wishing to wake him, she turned over slowly until she faced him and gazed at his face. 'He looks just like a little boy when he's asleep,' she thought. Reaching out her hand, she smoothed the hair that lay carelessly across his forehead.
Lee opened his eyes and murmured, "Mmm, good morning, Amanda." Taking her hand in his, he turned it over and placed a warm kiss in her palm.
"Oh, Lee," Amanda sighed.
He smiled, placing his arm around her waist, gathering her close. "Do you know how much I love you, and how much I love waking up with you in the morning?" he whispered into her ear. He gently pushed Amanda against her pillows and settled himself against her before claiming her lips with his. He began to kiss her, knowing exactly what to do to make her respond.
She wrapped her arms around him, running her fingers up and down his bare back. His lips left hers and he began to press soft kisses onto her neck. Her soft moans and sighs, and murmurs of love spurred him on as he continued to kiss her.
The shrill ringing of the telephone jolted them. Trying to ignore it, Lee continued his onslaught, but whoever was calling wouldn't give up. "Dammit, can't a man make love to his wife without being interrupted?" he grumbled as he rolled away from Amanda and pulled himself to a sitting position on the edge of the bed before grabbing the phone. He barked, "Stetson here. And this better be good."
On the other end of the line, Billy chuckled, "Well, Scarecrow, not in a very good mood today, are you?"
Immediately, Lee's demeanor changed. "Oh, sorry, Billy. Good morning."
Billy continued, "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?"
He paused before replying, "Interrupting? Ah, no, you didn't interrupt anything." Amanda, meanwhile, had moved behind him on her knees. She began to massage his shoulders and then leaned forward to kiss the back of his neck lightly. Lee found it very difficult to keep his attention on Billy's words.
"Lee, I need you down at the Agency."
"Yes sir," he managed to get out before he gasped and whispered to Amanda, "Quit that!" as she placed a light line of kisses down his spine.
Billy couldn't help overhearing the whisper, and with a smile in his voice he asked again, "Are you sure I'm not interrupting anything?"
In a slightly strangled voice, Lee managed to choke out, "No, not a thing, Billy," as Amanda lightly caressed his chest with her fingertips.
"Well then, get down here ASAP. We've got a situation that needs immediate attention."
Lee thought, 'Yeah, I've got one of those here, too,' as he answered him, "OK, Billy. I'll see you soon. You'll have to give me about a half hour or so, though." Amanda began to nibble on his ear. Lee groaned and in a voice slightly louder than a whisper said "A-man . . ." before he froze, afraid of what he had just given away.
Billy asked, "Lee? Is Amanda with you?"
Lee gained his composure and quickly answered him, "Now, Billy, why would Amanda be at my apartment this early in the morning?"
"Hmm, I wonder. It sounded to me like you just said her name."
Lee thought quickly. "Uh, I didn't finish Billy. What I was saying was that a man I know has me watching his, uh, pet weasel."
"A pet weasel?" Billy asked in a tone that indicated he didn't believe a word of what Lee was saying.
Lee continued, "Yeah, and I made the mistake of letting it out of its cage and now it won't leave me alone," as he turned and smiled at Amanda. Amanda smiled back at him with a completely innocent look on her face, but barely contained her laughter as he turned his attention back to Billy. "Er, you know Billy, it might take me a while to catch the weasel and get it back into its cage but I'll get to your office as soon as I can."
Lee hung up the phone and turned to look at Amanda, who was sitting back on her heels, a look of mock indignation on her face. "A pet weasel, huh, Scarecrow?" she asked before laughing.
"Yeah, my weasel."
"And you told Billy you had to catch me?"
"Uh huh."
Amanda lay back on her pillows and stretched her arms out to him. "Well then, catch me if you can."
Lee snuggled up close to her and began kissing her again. He murmured against her mouth, "Um, I hope Billy understands how long it can take to catch a weasel."
