One Thing Has A Habit Of Leading To Another

Summary: What would've happened if Jasmine hadn't interrupted Rachel and Eddie's moment in the office? Alternative scene, Reddie smut.

"You sent a supply teacher on a school trip?" Rachel asked incredulously, wondering why Eddie had gone over her head and sent Jem on the theatre trip with Grantly. "Eddie, she barely knows those kids."

"They pay more attention to her than they do to Grantly," Eddie replied.

That was certainly true. In the six days that Jem had been at the school, the students had warmed to her in a way none of them had to Grantly, she was only a supply teacher though, which made it even more incredible that she'd made an impact on the students so soon after arriving. "Uh huh," Rachel murmured in reply.

"You know he's banned Phillip from going?"

"Yeah I know, he was really looking forward to that wasn't he?"

"Well look on the bright side," Eddie said as he walked behind Rachel's chair and rested his hands upon her shoulders, she smiled at the close proximity to him. He moved his head down a little further so that his lips were close to her ear, "after a full day of detention you get to play good cop for once, hmm?" he added.

Eddie's lips made contact with Rachel's neck and began to plant soft, feather-light kisses on her skin. The moment she felt his lips there, she began to giggle, he knew exactly what to do to relax her. His kisses seemed to make everything else seem a lot less significant than they had been about half a minute before. Rachel gasped involuntarily as his kisses moved from her neck down to her collar bone, "not here Eddie," she finally said, summoning all the self-control she possessed, which in Eddie's presence was very little.

"Tell me to stop and I'll stop," Eddie challenged her, knowing how low her resistance was around him.

Rachel looked up at him, putting on her best headteacher face and Eddie conceded defeat. "I'd better be going then," he said as he moved from behind her chair and walked towards the door.

Eddie reached the door and turned the handle, the door swung inwards and he was about to leave when Rachel called after him, "Eddie wait!"

He turned around to face her and watched as she got out of her chair and walked towards him. Eddie continued to look at her as she closed the office door behind the two of them. His eyes widened as he watched her lock the door and for the first time since she'd left her desk, Rachel's gaze met his and they stared at each other. "You know," Rachel started, "they say that stolen moments are the most fun."

"Really?" Eddie asked, picking up on the clear indication in her voice, unable to suppress the grin that emerged on his face at hearing her words.

Rachel nodded as the expression on her face changed and began to mirror the similar look that was painted upon Eddie's face. Her gaze left his eyes and focussed on his lips, wanting to feel them against her own, she was longing for it, longing for him. As if on cue, Eddie leant forward and pressed his lips ardently to hers, releasing all the passion for her that he found it a struggle to contain during the school day. Rachel responded with a passion that, before she and Eddie had got together, she hadn't known existed within her. She knew that her office wasn't the best place in the world to satisfy her desire for him, anyone could look in through the office window or open the hatch and catch them at it. She knew that their relationship would be the talk of the school if that was ever to happen. Despite all her fears about their relationship being exposed to the whole school, she wasn't about to stop what she had actually started. She felt Eddie wrap his arms around her waist and began to back her towards the sofa in the corner of her office. Manoeuvring her around the table that stood in the way, they stopped moving once the backs of Rachel's legs hit the sofa's upholstery. Eddie lowered her onto the sofa before breaking the kiss and pulling himself up. Rachel shot him a questioning look, wondering why he had broken the kiss so suddenly. She understood why when he leant towards the windows and adjusted the blinds, obscuring the view for anyone nosey enough to snoop through the window of the headteacher's office, plunging the room into semi-darkness at the same time. Rachel felt her heartbeat beginning to quicken as Eddie's lips met hers in a kiss once more. His lips parted hers so that he could explore her mouth with his tongue, she didn't try to stop him, knowing that she wanted to feel his kiss as much as he wanted to feel hers. She could feel his arousal for her through the material of his trousers pressing against her inner thigh and immediately, she felt the aching between her own legs growing in intensity and at the same time, melting all the reservations that she may have had about what they were doing. By now, Rachel had stopped having conscious thoughts; she had surrendered herself to him, his closeness, the smell of him as he shrugged his jacket to the ground. Rachel allowed her hands to grasp the collar of his shirt and traced her fingers along the material until she reached the buttons. Painstakingly slowly, she began to undo the buttons one by one, teasing him by showering every inch of his chest with kisses as it was revealed to her, not for the first time. Once she'd undone the last button, he shrugged the shirt to the floor where it joined his jacket. Eddie's gaze met Rachel's once more and he smiled softly down at her, "I think you're a tad overdressed Miss Mason," he murmured as he pressed his lips to her neck.

She giggled as she felt his lips following the plunging v of her shirt, letting his gaze leave hers and linger on what on was lying underneath, his gaze demonstrating his longing for her. Eddie allowed his hands to linger upon her waist and began to lift her top away from her body. Rachel arched her back towards him so that he could pull it over her head, which he did and once it was clear, he dropped it to the floor. Eddie then set about undoing the buttons upon her shirt. Once he had finished, he pushed the material off her arms, freeing her from its constraint. His gaze stayed fixed upon her black lace bra and what was underneath for quite sometime and as the moments ticked by, his physical need for her became more and more apparent but at the same time, they didn't want to rush it, it may have only been a stolen moment but they wanted it to last as long as possible, they both knew that this encounter would be on their minds for the rest of the day. Rachel arched her back further towards Eddie so that he could reach behind her and unhook her bra, which he did and it joined the ever-growing assortment of garments littering the floor at that present moment. Eddie's gaze left Rachel's once again and gazed downwards at her naked breasts, not for the first time but he still felt like the luckiest man on the planet, seeing them in all their glory. He leant down once more and his lips caught the rough edges of the scar that she still carried, a constant reminder of what her act of heroism at the end of last term had cost her in terms of self-belief. It didn't matter to him, to him, the scar was nothing, she was still here, with him and that was the greatest gift he could ever have wished for. Eddie pressed soft butterfly kisses to the edges in a gesture of love and affection that she had come to associate with him, and only him. He was the only man who had shown her the respect that she had craved when she was younger. It was all part of her job back then, she had been there for one thing and one thing only, to be used for sex in exchange for payment. She didn't deserve respect for what she had done back then. It was different now, she was a success story, Rachel demonstrated how no-one should be seen as a lost cause and no matter how low they were, it was always possible to turn their lives around, she had done so why couldn't everyone else who had almost hit rock bottom? Now, as headteacher of Waterloo Road, she had the respect that had been denied her when she was younger, the students respected her too, probably more so since finding out about her past. Eddie momentarily flicked his gaze back up to her face, she smiled softly back at him, urging him to continue. He flicked his gaze back down to her breasts and cupped each one in his hands, running his thumb appreciatively over her stiff nipples. Rachel arched her back towards him, silently begging him to continue, begging him to kiss her there, letting him know exactly what he was doing to her, trying not to cry out loud. It was almost as if he'd read her mind, he knew exactly what she wanted and he set out to deliver. Eddie planted soft, tender kisses on the underside of her right breast before planting soft kisses all over her breast. Finally, after what seemed liked nothing short of eternity for Rachel, his lips closed around her nipple, using his tongue to tease it further. She pushed herself even closer to him, trying her utmost not to moan out loud and alert everyone to what was really going on behind her office door. Eddie then moved over to her left breast and repeated the same process. "Eddie!" she moaned out loud.

He lifted his head up and rested his chin upon her chest, gazing lovingly into the brown eyes that he loved so much. "I need you, now," she continued.

Eddie grinned at her, he had always known her resistance was low around him, he knew she wouldn't be able to take the teasing for long before giving in. Rachel wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his head up so it was level with hers. She leant forwards and let her tongue dance across his top lip, waiting for him to grant her the entrance that she so desperately wanted. When he finally parted his lips for her, she didn't dive straight in, she kissed him slowly but passionately, once her tongue entered his mouth, it glided around it so effortlessly, as though she was trying to memorise every little bit of this moment. Eddie's tongue entered her mouth and followed a similar pattern, memorising every second of this stolen moment with Rachel, knowing that it wasn't likely to happen, at least not in school. He felt Rachel's hands run down his back and come to rest upon his waist. She traced the outline of his arousal through his trousers before reaching for the belt to unfasten it and lower the zip. Eddie helped Rachel discard his trousers before moving to rid her of her trousers too. Once they were clear, there was only one barrier stopping them from demonstrating their longing for the other. Eddie trailed his fingers down Rachel's chest and she quivered with excitement, unable to believe that just his touch could cause such an instantaneous reaction. He grasped the sides of her lace undies in his hands and slowly, but with great observation, dragged them down her silky smooth legs before pushing them aside. Rachel, in turn, reached towards his boxers and freed him completely. There was nothing between them now, nothing to stop them showing their love for the other. Eddie hovered over her and gazed lovingly into Rachel's eyes. Their gazes locked and she smiled up at him, "do it, now. Please Eddie," she begged him.

He didn't need to hear anymore. Eddie gently lowered himself inside her, as she grabbed hold of his arms to control his depth. Their lips met once again as they flicked and teased their way around the others mouth. "Oh God, Eddie!" Rachel whispered in between kisses, trying to keep the noise to a minimum.

She wrapped her legs around his waist to guide him deeper inside her. They moved in almost perfect synchronicity, keeping their movements slow and controlled, neither wanting their stolen moment to end too soon. All thoughts of anyone hearing them had long left Rachel's mind, she allowed her body to become one with Eddie's.

This wasn't just sex for either of them, they had both realised that long ago, probably when they'd first slept together after Philip's party. Both Eddie and Rachel knew that what they had had been there since her first day at the school, it had just taken a hell of a long time to realise that what they shared was the best feeling that two adults could have towards each other. With their pace still slow and gentle, Rachel felt the beginnings of her orgasm stirring in her lower body. She arched her back against the sofa and tightened her grip on Eddie's arms and she let out a soft, long groan as the most incredible tingling sensation engulfed her. He smiled as he saw the satisfied smile that had spread across her face and after a few more gentle thrusts, he experienced his own soul-shattering climax. Eddie buried his head into the crease of Rachel's neck, planting soft kisses on her collar bone, making her skin tingle even more as he whispered her name over and over again, like his own personal mantra. After a few minutes more of lying in each other's arms, Eddie withdrew from her and planted a soft kiss against her forehead, "someone's going to be a little bit distracted for the rest of today," he said as he began to retrieve his clothes and redress, trying not to make it obvious what had just gone on in the headteacher's office.

"You and me both," Rachel agreed as she followed his lead.

Once the pair of them were fully dressed, Eddie walked towards Rachel and cupped her face in his hands, planting a soft and tender kiss against her warm, inviting lips. "I'll see you later beautiful," he murmured when they broke away.

Rachel nodded as he walked towards the door and unlocked it. Once the lock had clicked, Eddie pulled the door open and turned to get one final glimpse of Rachel before leaving. She watched as he left the office doorway and on hearing the door close, she walked around her desk and sat down in the chair. No-one was ever going to be any the wiser about what had gone on in that office that morning, only her and Eddie knew the truth. She looked towards the sofa once more and a satisfied smirk played across her lips as she turned her attention to the paperwork that lay upon her desk. She wasn't really concentrating, her mind was on something, or rather someone, else entirely…

Comments please?? Not sure what the next one's going to be called yet, hoping that getting Series 3 Part 2 on DVD today will give me ideas!! xxx
