Elizabeth tilted her head to gaze at the glowing numbers on the clock... 4.45am... Well that sucks, she thought to herself, letting out a long sigh. It was Saturday morning and both her body and mind were in desperate need of rest yet she was unable to sleep... her mind constantly racing and the silence of the room only compounding the noise in her head... She looked over at Henry who was still sleeping peacefully. "Ok... I need to clear my mind" she thought to herself and gently slid out of bed so as not to disturb her husband.
She changed into her running gear and in no time at all was out in the brisk morning air of DC... Her detail were used to her impromptu runs around the park, although it was a little earlier than usual... Elizabeth had always been somewhat of an athlete and could easily step out of the door and run 3 miles without thinking too much about it... Staying fit and healthy had always been an important aspect of her life, even from her college days, but my god did she hate going to the gym... all of those monotonous machines that did little to keep her motivated. She loved to run... to feel the air on her face, the ground under her feet and the music that managed to replace the static noise in her head... if only for a little while.
As her feet pounded the ground and her lungs struggled slightly against the cold air, Elizabeth found her mind wandering. Searching for the answers to so many questions, the main one being why did she feel so broken right now... why was the emptiness inside of her starting to take control... It terrified her! She was strong.. "Yes Elizabeth... You are a badass" she thought to herself but it did little to convince her. She could feel her heart thumping in her chest and it felt good... she felt alive... focussed... present! "Come on... one more mile... you've got this... let's go"... she kicked up a notch and managed the last mile at a fairly decent pace.
By the time she had made her way back to the house and upstairs to the bedroom, Henry was awake and lounging in bed while the hum of the TV played like a background track. "Hey you... Where did you go so early" he asked smiling sweetly at her
"I went for a run, I really needed to clear my head" she replied
"And did it help" Henry enquired, sensing a slight hitch in her tone
"Nope... But the oh so neglected Fitbit was grateful... I need a shower" and she headed into the bathroom.
When she'd spent a sufficient amount of time standing under the shower, trying desperately to wash away the constantly lurking thoughts in her head, she headed down into the kitchen to seek out a much needed cup of coffee. Henry was sat at the kitchen table, paper in hand and feet up on the adjacent chair... Elizabeth smiled to herself... "Look how cute you are" she said, climbing onto his lap 'Where are the kids?"
" I honestly have no clue... they all grew up so quickly and suddenly got rather impressive social lives" Henry replied with a little chuckle
" Well, one can drink, one can vote and one can drive I guess" Elizabeth shrugged
"Actually, one can drink, two can vote and three can drive" Henry laughed, giving her a little squeeze
A wicked smile crept across her lips and she pressed them against Henry's, gently allowing her tongue to gain access. As was always the case, what had started as a rather subdued kiss turned into a passionate exchange... They were both softly moaning at the decadence of it, their senses becoming heightened and their arousal quickly gaining momentum.
"Sweetheart... wait" Henry breathed, pulling back to look into her eyes
"What's wrong? We have the house to ourselves and I feel energised after my run, come on Henry... I promise it will be fun" and she placed another passionate kiss to his lips.
Henry was worried about his wife... He knew something was eating away at her. She hadn't been sleeping, her usually buoyant appetite had diminished and the sparkle in her eyes had dulled a little. But as much as he wanted her to open up, to really talk to him so he could understand and try to help her... He knew that if he pushed her right now, it would not end well. So if she needed to lose herself with him physically, who was he to argue
He lifted her up onto the table and stood between her legs, anchoring his hands firmly on her hips and placing soft kisses along her jaw and down behind her ear. Her skin was so soft and he never tired of how it felt against his lips... "You are exquisite" he whispered into her ear, making her shiver at the feel of his warm breath
"You are pretty impressive yourself Dr McCord" she replied, running her hands through the hair on the nape of his neck.
He slowly pushed her down so she had her back against the table and dragged her jeans over her hips and off in a rather impressive fluid motion "Oh you're good" she grinned, pushing up slightly on her elbows to get a better look at him
Henry pulled her shirt over her head and gasped a little at her bare torso... "Yay... No Bra Saturday" he grinned
He swiftly removed her underwear and ran his hand the whole length of her body... from her neck down to her stomach and onto her thighs.
Elizabeth arched a little at his touch, feeling her arousal now gaining more momentum. He never failed to turn her on but she was sometimes in awe of how quickly he could do it. Without much warning, his tongue was between her legs, and she moaned loudly at the surprising contact
"Jesus Henry... A little warning next time" she giggled, laying back flush against the table and closing her eyes.
Henry didn't reply... The way she felt against his lips was sublime and he felt dizzy with desire... He added a finger and felt her muscles tighten... then another... while keeping his tongue against her clit. Elizabeth had her hands in his hair and was completely lost in the moment, no coherent thoughts, just ecstasy... until he stopped!
"URGHHHH HENRY" she sighed in a rather annoyed tone " Is there some reason you stopped when I was right there?"
"I want to make you cum" he hissed, moving up her body and kissing her passionately
"Ummm,...I'm pretty sure that's what you were doing" she huffed sarcastically
Henry just laughed... he found her frustration both sexy and endearing. He loved how much he could turn her on and how her body responded to his touch... My god she was incredible
"Earth to Henry" Elizabeth snapped her fingers, trying to regain his focus "Are we done or..."
Henry quickly removed his joggers and sweatshirt followed by his boxers... "Dr McCord... You look rather turned on there... Is there anything I can do to maybe rectify the situation" Elizabeth grinned, biting her bottom lip in a rather provocative manner
Henry just smiled at her, pumped his erection a little and wasted no more time in pushing into her deeply. Elizabeth let out a guttural moan at the feeling. It was the perfect position for Henry... He could run his hands all over her stunning body and still be able to gaze into her eyes.
"I told you... I want to make you cum" he breathed as he started moving his hips, but at a slow, steady pace... almost teasing in its gentleness
"Henry... faster please" Elizabeth groaned, wriggling her hips to try and create some friction
"A little patience babe"... he chuckled
"God damn it Henry are we doing this or not... stop fucking abou..."
With that he pushed hard and fast into her... Pushing her hands above her head and taking her nipple in his mouth... Her breath was shallow and rapid and he could see she was unraveling fast... "That's it sweetheart... Let yourself go"
He picked up his pace and could feel her starting to tense around him... "Henry... are you... coz... I... am... oh shit" she screamed out... letting go to the intense pleasure she was feeling... This was enough for Henry. The combination of her contracting muscles and the devilish sounds she was making sent him over the edge in spectacular style.
Henry leant over her while he regained his composure... sweat dripping down his body... When he was able, he stood upright and pulled her up to sit in front of him on the edge of the table... She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him firmly but sweetly
"You are THE most amazing husband" Elizabeth beamed... moving her eyes across every inch of his face
"And you are without a doubt the most incredible human I know" he replied... leaning his forehead against hers. He pulled her up off the table and ushered her up the stairs... As they entered the bedroom he caught her hand in his...
"Elizabeth..." he quietly called
"Yes baby?" She replied, almost quizzically
"Are you ready to talk?" He asked... cupping her cheek with his hand "Because as much as I love providing you with a physical distraction, you need to work through whatever's going on"
Elizabeth look at him, almost blankly... She knew he was right yet how could she tell him how she felt when she didn't quite know herself
"Shower first... Then we'll talk" and she turned on her heels and pulled him towards the bathroom
