Chapter TWO

Sami cocked her head at the top of the stairs and hearing the front door close and blew out a relieved sigh. She'd been hiding upstairs with the twins all morning, avoiding John, she'd even fed them in their room so she didn't have to look him in the eye. Sami felt herself go bright red again as she remembered the events of last night. EJ had been less than helpful and she suspected that he'd found the whole thing vaguely amusing whilst Sami wanted to enter the witness protection program and be given a whole new identity!

Honestly, how could EJ not be embarrassed by what happened last night - what was wrong with the man??!

Whatever - he was going to be home that afternoon and Sami was just going to work on avoiding John until she at least had some back up with facing him for the first time. Sami walked down the stairs, feeling herself begin to relax. John would probably be gone for the day now so she could just get on with things and not be on edge that she was going to round a corner any minute and find the man that had overheard her and EJ having sex on the phone last night!

EJ had tried to reassure her that he was sure that John had just picked up the phone but Sami wasn't convinced, her luck just wasn't that good. She shook her head then, remembering her mortification when everyone had seen the scratches on EJ's back the first time they'd really made love… and she'd thought that was a bad as it could get! How wrong could you be?! Sami started towards the living room now, baby monitor in hand as she went to get them a drink each. She should probably have brought them downstairs now the coast was clear but they were happy enough where they were so she let them be for the time being.

Sami looked up then and through the crack in the partially open door she saw a flash of black and froze, realising to her horror that John was still there. She didn't know who she'd heard leaving but apparently it wasn't John. He was picking up his car keys, obviously on his way out now which meant he was going to come out into the hall where Sami was rooted to the spot. Sami panicked, knowing she wasn't ready to deal with him yet and also knowing there was no way she'd be able to get back up the stairs before he walked out into the hall. So in her horror she did the one thing she could think of and bolted into the foyer closet, closing the door behind her as she heard John's footsteps just outside the door now.

Sami leant forward a little, listening hard for the sound of his footsteps walking away and all the while holding her breath. It reminded her of the times she and Eric would play hide and seek as a children - that was an advantage of having a twin, you always had someone your same age to play with. But she always used to get so anxious, the anticipation of being found out at any minute killing her. Sami couldn't hear John's footsteps anymore and wondered where he was, the rug in the foyer possibly dampening the sound.

She was so intent on listening she almost screamed out loud when the door suddenly opened and John was standing there. They stared at each other silently, her wide eyed and horrified and him typically blank. John blinked once, then twice and then calmly reached out for his coat that was hanging beside her in the closet and without a single word or changing his facial expression at all John simply closed the closet door again. Sami could hear the door being open and then closed again and knew now that he was actually gone now.

Oh my god!

Sami covered her face with her hands and made a pained face. Was there no end to the way she was going to embarrass herself in front of this man?!!

oooOOOOooo

EJ walked in through the front door of the DiMera mansion later on that day, a little disappointed not to find Sami waiting for him there after what his previous homecoming greeting had been like but not exactly surprised. He didn't seem to have been able to calm her down very much last night and he suspected that he had one of 'those' conversations waiting for him but didn't really care. As long as he could see and touch Sami, be in the same room with her it didn't matter what they were doing. Although a little 'welcome home EJ' time wouldn't go astray but he didn't know what his chances were after last night and Uncle John.

EJ hurried up the stairs, suitcase in hand and immediately went to check on the twins. He knew they should be having a nap right about now but didn't care, he just wanted to see them. He walked up between their two cots and smiled down at the gorgeousness that were his children.

"Daddy's home my darlings," he whispered to them tenderly.

They looked so angelic fast asleep, their little faces relaxed in sleep and EJ couldn't help himself, reaching down and lightly stroking their heads in turn, just needing to have touched them after two days apart from them. They didn't even stir which EJ had to admit to feeling a bit disappointed about but let them be.

Next stop was the bedroom to drop off his suitcase quickly and a quick scout told him Samantha wasn't there either so he headed back downstairs, through the living room and into the kitchen where he found John, calmly eating a sandwich by himself.

"Hello Uncle John," said EJ evenly.

"Nephew," acknowledged John and went back to his sandwich.

"Have you seen Samantha?" he asked.

"Yes," said John simply, "Repeatedly."

EJ grimaced, getting used to his uncle's ways by now.

"Have you seen Samantha recently?" he clarified the question.

"Sure," said John, "She seemed on edge - you know, more than usual."

"Yes well," sighed EJ.

"Something you said to her last night perhaps?" asked John straight faced, "Maybe you should work on your phone manner because it doesn't seem to be making her happy."

"Thank you for the advice Uncle John," said EJ with a grimace and shaking his head.

"Not that I'd know what your phone manner is like of course," continued on John casually, "Seeing as I had just picked up the phone before I said anything."

"Oh," said EJ and the two men shared a silent moment and EJ was grateful for John's round about way of reassuring him.

"So do you know where Samantha might be right now Uncle?" asked EJ, relieved to have that little conversation, if you could call it that, out of the way.

"Have you tried the closet?" asked John straight faced, returning to his sandwich.

EJ just gave him a weird look and gave up, continuing his search for Sami himself. After ten minutes and still not being able to find her he was becoming vaguely concerned. He knew she wouldn't be far away, at least within the range of the baby monitor which wasn't that wide a distance. EJ stood in the foyer and frowned and then looked over at the hall closet. He looked around himself, feeling a little foolish but then opened the door but the only thing inside was coats, hats and two umbrellas. EJ shook his head at himself- what was he doing? John was getting him to act as crazy as he was now!

EJ finally ended up back in their bedroom, a bit confused. As a final resort he went into the bathroom and found her sitting on the down turned seat of the toilet, the baby monitor clutched between her hands. She looked up as he entered but no made no other movement.

"Samantha," said EJ, immediately concerned and hurrying over to her, putting a hand on her back, "Are you alright sweetheart? What's wrong?"

Sami just stared back up at him for a long moment.

"What's wrong?" she repeated and then more loudly, "What's wrong?! Are you kidding me?! After last night you can ask me that question?!"

"Oh," said EJ, giving a relieved sigh, "Is that all. You had be worried there for a moment darling."

EJ smiled then and sat down on the edge of the bath tub beside her, loosening his tie while she just stared at him in horror.

"Is that all?!" she squawked, "EJ!"

"I talked to Uncle John about it," he began casually, pulling his tie off.

"You spoked to John about it?" squeaked Sami in abject horror now.

"Sweetheart," said EJ with great affection, "If you keep on repeating everything I say all the time this conversation is going to take a very long time indeed."

"How can you be so flippant about this?" she asked him accusingly, "What is wrong with you?"

"First of all let me just finish what I was trying to say," said EJ calmly, "John had just picked up the phone, he didn't hear… you know… the other stuff."

"But he knew what we were doing!" she exclaimed, only slightly mollified by his words.

"Well yes," admitted EJ, "I think that you're reasonably safe to assume that."

"We have to move!" said Sami dramatically.

"Darling you say that every time someone overhears us or walks in on us in this house," he said patiently, "I think you maybe over reacting just a tad don't you?"

"It happens all the time!" she exclaimed.

"Yes well," smiled EJ leaning forward and resting his elbows on his knees so his face was in line with hers as she sat there, "We do have a lot of sex my dear - the odds are pretty good."

"Well no more!" she announced emphatically, not to be distracted by that smouldering look in his eye, "No more sex in this house - ever!"

"Whoa there!" said EJ, sounding mildly horrified, "Let's not go crazy here."

"I mean it EJ," she warned him, "I can't have sex ever again in this house."

"There is no way we can hold out with not having sex," said EJ ever practical, "Neither one of us has been able to keep our hands off each other for more than a day or two."

"We'll still have sex," protested Sami, "We'll just… I don't know, go to a hotel or something."

"You want us to go to a hotel every time we want to have sex?" asked EJ sceptically.

"That's right!" said Sami imperiously.

"I'm going to have to get a second job just to pay for the hotel bills," pondered EJ straight faced.

"Don't care," she said sharply, "No more sex in this house! Alright?"

"Well," said EJ, sitting back on the edge of the bathroom tub and crossing his arms in front of his chest seeming to consider this seriously, "Alright then, sure."

"Really?" said Sami in surprise, she'd kind of figured he'd be harder to convince for some reason.

"If that will make you happy sweetheart then of course," he smiled at her, "I'm all about making you happy."

"Well good then," she said a little uncertainly, "That's settled then."

"I do just have one little point I'd like clarified though if that's alright darling?" he said calmly.

"Um… okay," she said, "What's that?"

"Well no sex in this house," he said, "I understand that but what about other stuff?"

"Other stuff?" she repeated.

"Yes you know…" he prompted her suddenly standing and bending down to pick her up, depositing her on the bathroom vanity, next to the basin.

"EJ?" she said, eyeing him suspiciously now, "What are you doing?"

"Just clarifying a couple of points - it's what I do, I'm a lawyer you know?" he told her and then pursed his lips, "How about I wanted to steal a kiss from my wife like this…"

EJ pressed a depressingly short kiss to her lips and then looked at her enquiringly.

"Would that be allowed in this house or would we have to get a hotel room?" he asked her, perfectly serious.

"No," she said, rolling her eyes at him, "A kiss is allowed."

"Interesting," he pondered, "Well what about a longer kiss… like this for instance…"

EJ dipped his head and captured her lips in a hard kiss, his tongue quickly taking possession of her mouth, tasting her deeply, only pulling away when they were both breathless.

"I suppose that is allowed," she said a little unevenly, her face flushed now, realising now how much she'd missed his touch in the last two days.

"Good to know," he said huskily, "And what if I want to do this…?"

EJ pushed her legs apart as she sat on the counter top and settled himself between them, moving in close to nuzzle at the soft skin of her neck.

"That's okay," she said weakly, "There's no harm in that I suppose."

EJ teased his way along her jaw line with his nose, his breath hot on her neck now. Sami bit her lip, feeling her resolve weakening - what was it about this man that she seemed to have no self control with?

"What if I want to…?" he trailed off, licking his way down her neck and chest until he was at the valley between her breasts, showed off very amply with her low cut blouse.

"EJ," she sighed, feeling his tongue delving into her cleavage, licking and lapping away at the soft skin.

"And this…?" he said unevenly, lifting his head so he could look her in the eye as his hands cupped both of her breasts through her clothes, squeezing them rhythmically, "Am I allowed to do this?"

"Oh yes," she murmured, feeling herself falling under his spell, helpless to refuse him.

EJ ducked his head down to nibble on her neck again, massaging her breasts with ever growing firmness. God but he missed touching her, she was like a drug to him. If he couldn't touch her for a while, couldn't feel her softness under his hands he'd begin to shake and slowly start to lose his mind.

"I want you Samantha," he rasped, all teasing gone from his voice now, "Please."

"Yes," she breathed, "I want you too EJ, please, I've missed you so much."

He kissed her one last time before pushing her back on the counter a little and pushing up her skirt, pulling aside her panties and bending down to feast upon her exotic spiciness. Sami looked down at his dark head between her legs, worshipping her body and groaned loudly. She grabbed his head in both hands, digging her fingers into his scalp and held him there. It was so much better when it was him doing this to her and even though she'd enjoyed last night there was no comparison to what he was currently doing to her.

"I can't stand it EJ!" she moaned helplessly, "More, I want you inside me NOW!"

It was all he needed to hear. EJ straightened up, freeing his straining erection from his pants, desperate for her now. He pulled aside the satin of her panties again and plunged inside of her, unable to restrain himself any longer. Sami gasped at the experience of him entering her so fiercely - she never tired of it, that first sensation of her body taking his inside of her.

"Samantha!" he moaned, thrusting hard into her already.

The ache that hadn't been fully sated last night now bursting into full life now, making him incapable of going slowly. He was starving for her, always needing more of her. EJ hooked her legs up over his arms and grabbing her backside as he did, driving himself even deeper into her. Sami couldn't stand it, coming immediately for him and he was undone, exploding inside of her even as she moaned helplessly against him.

"Oh god Samantha," he said shakily, his body still giving little shudders as he dropped her legs back down, resting his forehead against hers now.

"Mm," she sighed happily, "So good."

She kissed him then, slowly, thoroughly and he returned it, their initial lust for one another sated but they both still needed more. While he kissed her Sami's hands went to his coat jacket, easing it off his shoulders and he shrugged out of it, carelessly letting it fall onto the ground. The buttons of his dress shirt was next, she undid each one while they continued the kiss and he remained embedded deeply inside of her.

EJ was busy too, using one foot and then the other to help step out of his shoes and push his pants down further until he could step out of them as well and then came the socks, never breaking the kiss the whole time. Next he worked on Sami, undoing her buttons and helping her out of it before his hands went immediately to her bra, releasing her from it's confines, next came the skirt, over her head and finally she was just left in her panties. EJ hooked a couple of fingers into the delicate scraps of material and tugged hard, ripping them from her body, not willing to lose his place inside of her to dispose of them any other way.

"You're so hard on my underwear," she groaned the complaint against his lips.

"Stop wearing it then," he told her roughly, "Problem solved."

"You'd like that wouldn't you?" she purred the question to him, linking her arms around his neck and giving him a teasingly seductive look.

"I'd love that," he corrected her impishly, his voice husky as he pulled her closer to him, his hands on her butt cheeks.

EJ tightened his grasp on her ass, picking her up off the counter and walking with her, still impaled on his rapidly hardening shaft, into the bedroom. He laid her crossways along the bed, his body on top of hers. He began to move inside of her and she arched her back, revelling in this man's stamina.

Sami had always been slightly embarrassed by the level of her sex drive, thinking of it as her secret shame some how and hiding it from the men she'd been with. It made her feel like some kind of fallen woman but with EJ it was completely different. He matched her encounter for encounter. She'd never been with anyone with such a high libido that mirrored her own. It made her feel wild and free to know he wanted her as much as she wanted him, as many times as she wanted him. He was always ready for her and like everything to do with this man it was a revelation to Sami.

"I love you," she said helplessly, thrilling to each of his hard thrusts, pushing herself up to met each one, making him penetrate her ever deeper.

"Samantha!" he moaned, loving to hear her say those words to him.

Her full breasts were pressed against, her nipples scrapping across his chest, her body clenching tightly around him and he was in heaven. He last for a long time inside of her, prolonging both of their's pleasure, almost to the point of pain until in the end she was begging for him to end it for her.

"Please!" she pleaded with him, her nails raking his back and her eyes tightly closed against the pleasure, "EJ let me come, oh god please, let me come!"

"Look at me!" he ordered her, the sweat dripping off him and down onto her and stinging his eyes but he didn't care, "Look Samantha, tell me when you're there!"

He picked up his speed, hammering himself into her now and she was almost beside herself from the pleasure of it all as he varied his angles of penetration, finding new ways to delight her with his swollen thickness.

"Close," she mumbled incoherently, throwing her head from side to side now as the tension built in her body, "So close EJ, don't stop!"

"I can't!" he grunted, his body taking over completely now and the only sound in the room now was the sound of her body accepting his over and over again and their combined ragged breaths and gasping grunts.

EJ came first this time, his hips pumping frantically as he spurt his seed into her, working to make her take it all. Sami watched his face screw up from the intense joy of it all, loving his come face so much - it was just so beautiful. She had no choice but to join him now, screaming his name just as he'd howled hers at the exact moment he'd ejaculated into her and she'd felt him shoot his essences into her, making her feel like the sexiest woman on the planet in that moment.

EJ's weight was heavy on her as he lay gasping for breath on top of her and she didn't want him to move but she couldn't breath. Sami wiggled a little under him which set another little stab of pleasure through him but he realised he must have been crushing her and ever so reluctantly with drew from her and rolled to one side. He'd been inside her now for so long after that marathon session that it felt completely hollow without him there and she mourned the loss, already craving their next union - she really was insatiable when it came to him. EJ rolled onto his side, propping his head up with a hand and looking down at her lovingly.

"You are so very beautiful," he praised her, his voice still rough from his spent passion.

EJ loved seeing her like this, all glowing and pink from their lovemaking, he could never get enough of her. He reached out a hand and trailed his fingers over her lips that were still a little swollen from his kisses, trailing them down her neck to her collar bone and tracing it's delicate shape before carrying on, drifting lower, between the valley of her breasts and lower still. Sami squirmed a little under his light touch, her skin tingling where ever he touched. EJ drew imaginary patterns on her flat stomach and felt her muscles contracting a little under his fingertips as he did. He moved lower still, cupping her mound, his thumb running over the top that was covered in soft little crinkly hairs. Sami trembled helplessly at the intimate touch.

"I love coming home to you," he said huskily.

"I know," she said and gave a shaky little teasing laugh, "I noticed that - in fact you came home twice just then."

EJ gave a low laugh, the sound reverberating around in his chest and carrying on through her body as he lay pressed up against her.

"Mm," he said rubbing her mound a little harder now, "And while I do adore… coming…"

He inserted two finger inside of her then, moving them around lazily and enjoying the heated wetness that was result of their previous two lovemaking sessions. Sami shuddered and clenched around his fingers to which he gave a little grunt of approval.

"… home to you," he finished of with a mischievous look, "There are no words for how it feels to know that you and the babies are here. My beautiful family all waiting for me - it makes me so happy I can barely stand it sometimes."

"Oh EJ," she sighed up at him, cupping one of his cheeks in her hand and looking up at him tenderly, "You really are a woman after sex aren't you?"

She gave an cheeky laugh then when she saw him give her a feigned look of outraged hurt pride.

"A woman eh?" he asked her mockingly, moving his fingers deeper inside her and placing his thumb on her nub and beginning to stroke it, "Let's see what we can do to dispel that particular myth shall we?"

Sami gasped, biting her lip, already feeling herself wanting to come.

"Oh no you don't," said with a devilish look, feeling her body tighten around his fingers and knowing she was wanting to climax again, "Not so fast young lady, you're going to have to pay for that last comment."

"EJ," she pouted up at him when he removed his hands from inside her, "Please!"

"Oh I will," he smirked knowingly down at her, moving over the top of her now, "But you're just going to have to wait."

He captured her mouth in a teasing kiss, his tongue stroking hers and she settled back into the bed in anticipation of round three.

Welcome home EJ… welcome home indeed!
