DONOVANS MOODS (1.) DANGEROUS

The usual disclaimers apply: I own nobody apart from Abby.

The noise from Donovan's office increased, file cabinets were being kicked, doors were being slammed and the whole world was being cursed, loudly. Frank was in the danger zone between falling apart or taking somebody apart. The door opened and Donovan strode out with a murderous glare in his eyes, down the hall the stairs and out of the building.

Abby got the call at 7p.m , it was Monica calling to tell her that Frank was now on his way home, if he got home the speed he'd exited the parking lot. "He's in a bad way girlfriend, I can't say he won't fall over the edge this time, thought i'd better give you some warning" "thanks, I mean it, but I have to go I think he's here" said Abby.

Monica over the weeks had filled her in on small details about the case that had obviously gone so badly wrong. Frank however never spoke about work, never brought his work home with him, all he brought home was pure gut wrenching raw emotion, that he tried to hide....BADLY!! She knew what had to happen, she had to light the fuse and wait for the explosion otherwise he'd bottle everything up until the demons of failure, self doubt and helplessness that were no doubt setting fires in his head at this moment would consume him.

He had to lose the mask of total control to emerge the other side with his sanity. But he wouldn't do it willingly, God help her she was going to have to push him into it !

The front door slammed shut along with the bolts to lock out the outside world. "Oh god" she thought "here we go"

"So the big man finally manages to come home then" she said "or do you consider this to be your home the amount of time you manage to spend here?" she questioned.

"Please Abby i've had a really bad day I don't want to start this now"he begged. "Don't wanna start what mister bigshot i'm not starting anything i'm ending it right here right now, let's face it Mister Donovan you're a loser, a big fat zero" She turned and started walking towards the door silently wondering if she'd baited him enough, she despised herself for the things she said but hoped it would make him rise.

He stopped her dead in her tracks "You" he said "are not going ANYWHERE" the hairs at the back of her neck stood on end at the darkly menacing tone in his voice. "And who precisely is going to stop me, the almighty all powerful Donovan" she mocked. She turned her back on him and started to unbolt the door. In a split second his hands were on hers, his powerful body slammed on to hers almost crushing the breath out her. His breathing was hard and fast, yes she was playing it right, he was starting to lose control. She started to fight him off but he was far too strong for her. "Yes" he said. "You haven't got it in you, you gutless wonder" was the last reply she was allowed to make.

The red mist of rage had finally taked Donovan over, the next moment he had half carried half dragged her away from the door and over to the bedroom. As he pushed Abby inside Frank Donovan the ice-man always in control left the building and was replaced by primeval Frank with all the power , raw emotion , instincts , and rage of a newly unleashed wild animal.

He pulled her towards him ripping and tearing at her clothes at the same time as his own, he saw a strange look in her eyes but it wasn't fear, why didn't she fear him he feared himself at this moment put was powerless to stop what he had put in motion . Dear God had he lost his mind. "Don't stop" said the voices.

She felt herself falling onto their bed and realized that Frank had pushed her there for she had closed her eyes in case he saw more than she wanted him to in them. Her hands were being roughly forced above her head, she briefly opened her eyes and saw the utter torment in his. The veins on his neck were throbbing and his muscular frame was glistening with the sweat of terror. "Forgive me" he cried out. He plunged his mouth down on to hers with such force that she thought she was being eaten alive. She could feel his erection burning ready to claim it's place inside her. The point of no return.

He cried out as he entered her viciously, the devils inside him had taken over, the ritualistic need for dominance. An angered tortured look appeared in his eyes as he continued driving himself harder and deeper inside Abby with mindblowing conviction. Abby felt as though all the air was being sucked out of her body , such was the force of the need in him. She clung on to him for dear life knowing how much he needed this, to lose himself completely with the one person who loved him body, soul and beyond. His breath was coming in agonizing gasp, she cried out and dug her fingernails into his back, wrapped her legs aroung his hips and drew him in closer. Sobbing , she cried out words of encouragement as he continued his animalistic almost hypnotic drive for release. The pressure was almost unbearable as she reached the plateau between extreme pleasure and seering pain. All the time he was relentless in his force as if he was trying to hurt himself in the process to atone for the pain he knew she was enduring because of her love for him. Sobs of earthy rapturous need were escaping in a throaty drawl from his lips as he buried his head sharply into her neck, wrapping his hands in her hair he held her still, cried out as if waking from a nightmare and exploded inside her.

The crying didn't stop for some time, she knew it wouldn't for they had been here once before, she held him tightly and stroked his hair gently rocking him as if to soothe him. She waited until the cries had subsided and looked deeply into his eyes. He smiled warmly at her as he felt all the tension and anger leave his body. She smiled back joyfully "my husband's back" she thought. "He's back from the gates of hell again" Sleep claimed them both quickly.

Next morning he showered and dressed for work, all the time marvelling at how she could soak up all his rage, anger, pain and sorrow not to mention hellish temper at times and put all the pieces of the puzzle back in the right order, make everything so good again. She was a truly remarkable woman and he loved her so much it hurt.

He walked over to the bed and watched her wake .The events of last night would not be mentioned again by either of them for they both knew there was no need , they both came through it unscarred with a deeper love for each other than ever before."can I ask you a question?" said Frank "sure fire away " Abby replied "How do you always know what I need before I realise I need it?" He said laughing. "Now that would be like unlocking a state secret if I told you" she replied giggling. Frank stood up ready to take off for work he felt like a teenager again , fresh and uncomplicated .



" I'll be home early tonight"he said "good"Was Abbys reply "now give me a huge hug because I deserve it for loving you so much Mr. Donovan" he sat back down on the bed and Abby climbed onto his knee facing him wrapping their arms around each other pulling each other closer and holding on tightly. "I love you so much Mrs. Donovan" "I know" she replied. "See you tonight" Abby said "and be a good boy and be nice to that team of yours, they care about you as well you know"

"I know they do, don't worry they won't know what hit 'em"

Frank strolled into the building and made his way up to his office where Jake Cody and Monica were shaking in their boots waiting for the verbal lashing. Judging by the state of Donovan when he stormed out last night this was shaping up to be one of the worst in living memory.

Walking in with a smile on his face was the first thing to catch them all completely off guard but the real killer blow was when he announced that he'd taken the liberty of ordering breakfast for them all, laughing at the looks of shock turning into looks of pure relief.

Monica stole out of the room on the pretext of using the bathroom and immediately called Abby. "Sweet Jesus girl what did you do to him ,there just aint enough happy pills in the world to cause a change like that" she laughed "On second thoughts no I don't ever wanna know what you did but it's got me breakfast on the boss and i'm starving" "Frank wants to know how I judge his moods, a little warning from you isn't cheating is it Monica? After all we've been friends for years, just don't tell my husband!!!"

THE END
