Chapter 1

"Abbey, whatcha doing?" Jed grinned into the phone knowing full well what she was doing. They had already been talking for ten minutes, each trying to get the other one aroused. Jed felt the tightness in his groin and he hoped Abbey was in similar distress. But relief was not going to come through the phone lines.

A deep growl came back through the phone line. "Ohhh, why do you say those things? You've been gone two weeks and I'm horney."

"Why on earth are you feeling that way? Haven't you utilized some of the services of all those good looking Secret Service men that follow you around? I mean, have you ever seen their expressions when you show up in one of those sexy gowns of yours, you know the ones I'm talking about. Let me think, the red one with the glittery stuff comes to mind. You know the one you wore to the French President's dinner last month? The one where your breasts were trying to escape from that very, very tight bodice?"

"Jed Bartlet! You should be ashamed of yourself. The agents are taught not to react to anything we do or wear."

"Well, you didn't see the looks that escaped from their eyes when they saw you come down the staircase. I know. I saw them for myself."

"Jed! Stop that. Let's get back to the more important things. When will you be home?"

"We have one more stop on this Asian tour and with travel time I should arrive home sometime Saturday morning. I think the estimated arrival time will be about 3 am. Going to meet me at the airport?"

"Hell no. But if you behave yourself, I might meet you when you get home. And there might be something special for you. Don't open the door too wide. I would hate for the agents to get a glimpse of what I'll NOT be wearing."

Jed groaned. "Oh hell. I'm going to jump you through these phone lines right now."

"I wish you would. Then I could get some relief."

As someone knocked on the door to the Presidential suite, Jed was quickly brought back to reality. "Yes?"

"Sir?" Leo stuck his head in. "The motorcade is ready."

Jed waved acknowledgement and the door shut once again. "Listen I have to go. You just remember that promise of yours, okay? And I'll try to get home sooner. I love you."

"I love you too. Now it's my bedtime. But first a cold shower will be required."

They both laughed. They each knew the only true relief would have to wait. "Gotta go. Behave."

"Jed, I will. And you do the same. I've seen some of those women staffers look at you as well."

Another knock on the door brought an exasperated Chief of Staff's face around the door. "Sir! We have to go."

"Okay. Okay. Bye Abbey. I'll be home real soon."

Jed hung up the phone and made his way to the door. "I was talking with Abbey. Let's go."

Barely whispering, Leo responded "Figures."

Jed turned back around and grinned. "Did you say something?"

"Oh no sir. Let's go."
