Hotel ann de rivier
Cal picked up the bag. "Let's go. We need to be out of here before they find us in the bathroom."
Before he opened the door, Gillian closed it and said in a panicky voice, "Cal what about what I'm wearing. I can't go out like this. It will attract attention."
He looked down at her ensemble; she had a black tight fitted jacket buttoned over her light pink lace panties and bra and black high heeled shoes. "From the crowd of people that were in the club, I don't think it will. Let's go." He grabbed her hand and brought her back out into the hall. They followed Ferguson's directions and went out of the exit to the right. They heard a lot of sirens and men talking but no one noticed them walking away from the club. They made sure to stay in the shadows as best as they could. The night air was chilly from the river canals flowing through the city of Amsterdam. At once, Gillian, who was barely wearing anything, started to shiver. Still keeping the bag in one hand, Cal slid his arm around her waist and drew her near to him. Once they were over a bridge, they came to Hotel ann de rivier.
Cal was the first to check inside for any familiar people. The hotel was just as dingy as the club but it was brightly lit and the fixtures were antique. He saw that no one was in the lobby except for an old man behind the check-in counter. Once he saw Cal, he stood up and looked in all directions. Once he saw that the coast was clear, he beckoned the two young people in.
As they walked through the lobby, the old man pointed to the stairway. Silently thanking him, Gillian and Cal walked up the four flights of stairs to their room. Cal dug around for the key and when he found it, he pulled it out and opened the door. Once they were in the room safely and the door was locked, both heaved a sigh of relief. Gillian, as she was turning on the light, was the first one to speak, "God that was so close. And by the way, we will not be taking anymore cases from Interpol if it involves this."
Cal grinned, "You know you liked it. For once you got to play someone else; someone who is a high roller and very exotic and dangerous." He looked down at what she was dressed in and added, "Not that you needed to pretend, darling. You were every bit of sexy that I could have dreamed of."
Gillian just shook her head, "Exotic and dangerous? Yeah right. Besides Cal, I was only playing the part." She swatted her hand through the air as she started to walk into the tiny room.
In two seconds he had her pinned against the wall and the lights turned off. The moonlight from the large window spilled into the room. He leaned his body against hers and whispered, "Every time we pretended to have sex for our cover, your body shook with anticipation. And then tonight in the club, you moaned when we were kissing. Not once but twice. You enjoyed it just as much as I did." He started to kiss her neck softly. Slowly, he made his way from the base to her earlobe. "You are getting turned on just thinking about it. I can feel it." Her heart was going a million miles per hour and her breathing was becoming erratic. His hands traced around her jacket until he found an opening to her skin. His hand skimmed down to the top of her panties. Just as he was about to go in, she stopped his hand and pushed him away.
She pushed her fingers through her hair as she tried to control her breathing. "Cal, we were playing characters to get evidence that Viggoson and his men were trafficking all over the world. They were monitoring us; we had to make our marriage believable." She sighed; her breathing was still very erratic. "We both played the part very well, but it's time to go back to the real world where you are Cal Lightman and I am Gillian Foster not Michael and Sasha Levy." She sadly looked down and then started to make her way into the room.
She was stopped, yet again, by Cal who held out his arm to stop her from passing. "You were not Sasha Levy when you kissed me after they captured Viggoson. You were you. And this is you now. You want it and so do I."
Gillian tried to take his arm down from her path. "Cal, I doubt that after about 5 minutes you will still want me."
He bared his teeth as he grinned. "You wanna bet?"
Her breathing hitched as she plowed herself through. "Umm… no." She took in the sight of the small room. There was only one small bed and a couple of chairs. She walked up to the window, in which she found out that it leads out into a balcony. The view of the city and the bridges over the canals were gorgeous. She looked back at the small bed and then at Cal, who didn't move. The sight in front of her, Cal's words and the adrenaline from being chased around by gunman was too much for her to handle. She did want him, more than anything in the world, but something still held her back. She didn't know what it was. She pushed that little something to the back of her brain, wanting to analyze it in the morning. Her shoulders slumped in defeat and then she raised them back up in defiance. "Cal," her voice was soft but it was starting to crack. He turned around slowly and looked at her body in the moonlight. She saw his defeated face in the moonlight and her heart skipped a beat. "Kiss me again."
He walked up to her and slid his hand through her hair. He brought their foreheads together as he whispered, "Are you sure?"
She grabbed both of his cheeks to make sure that he had his eyes on her. "I have never been so sure in my life. You were right all along... I want you." She closed the distance between their lips. Just like the other times that night, if started off slow and luxurious but then as the seconds passed it turned into a battle of who was going to be dominate. Soon, Cal felt Gillian turning him around to where his back was facing the bed. She pulled back from his lips and smiled mischievously. She pushed her hands against his chest hard and he fell on the bed. As she unbuttoned the jacket, she let it fall to the floor and then climbed on to the bed, straddling across Cal's hips. She could feel his want for her through his pants. She leaned down to where her lips were millimeters from his ear. "You're right, Cal. I want you. Badly." He dragged his hands through her hair as he crashed his lips onto hers.
His arms snaked around her slender waist. Then he turned her over to where he was on top of her. He ripped down her bra straps, exposing her breasts, and started kissing her above her collar bone. Through each kiss, he mumbled, "I will make you moan… I will make you scream… I will make you cum… and I will make you want more. I am yours."
She grabbed his head to hold him still. She smiled and whispered, "No, I will make you moan…" she kissed his right cheek. "I will make you scream…" she kissed his left cheek. "I will make you cum…" she pulled out her leg, circled it around his waist and pulled him closer until he moaned. "And I will make you want more." She let go of his face and slipped her hands down to him pants where she loosened her grip and undid the button. He kicked off his shoes as she slid his pants off. Next, it was his turn to reach for the top of her panties and slide them down her legs. She gently bit the bottom of his earlobe and said in a sultry voice, "Make love to me. I am yours."

It was morning, when Cal woke. He could have sworn, he heard a knock and the door opening. Then he started to smell coffee, bacon and toast. Just as he opened his eyes, he saw Gillian walk out onto the balcony. When he stepped out of bed he put on his boxers that he was wearing last night.
As he stepped out on to the balcony, the phone from the black bag rang. He almost ignored it but Gillian came into the room and answered the phone. "Yes? Okay. Are you sure we are safe? Wonderful! We will be there in 30 minutes. Thank you." She threw the phone back into the bag and faced Cal, who was only dressed in his boxers. She had nothing but a white sheet around her body and a mug of coffee in her hand. She started to bite the inside of her cheek, almost too nervous to say anything. "That was Ferguson. He said it was safe for us to come back to headquarters. There's paperwork we need to fill out before they pay us." She bent down and grabbed some of her clothes and soap. "I'm going to take a quick shower."
"Wonderful!" He made his way over to the bag. "I'll join you in the shower."
"NO!" She stopped him by holding her hand, up in his face. In effect, the sheet she had been covering her body with came down around her ankles. She looked down in embarrassment. Cal, ever the gentleman, picked up the sheet and circled it around her. She mumbled a "Thank you." She took a deep breath and then straightened out her shoulders. "Cal, I think it would be best if we stayed away from each other. At least until I can think properly." She turned, walked into the bathroom and shut the door with a snap.
Cal stared at the door until he heard the shower kick on. He bent over the bag and got some of his clothes out. Once he was dressed, he decided to eat some of the breakfast that was sitting on the dresser. He was just about to eat the last strip of bacon when the door to the bathroom opened. Steam bellowed out of the tiny room as Gillian made her way to the duffle bag. She was looking everywhere around the room except at Cal. Finally when she got her nerve, she said, "Are you ready to go? Headquarters is about 10 minutes from here."
He shoved the last piece of bacon in his mouth and said, "Ready when you are, Luv."
She nodded as she picked up the bag. Cal was about to follow her when he saw something shiny from the nightstand. He walked over there and scooped up the earrings and the pretend wedding ring Gillian was wearing the night before. From the hallway, Gillian yelled, "Cal? Are you coming?"
"Yeah, just making sure we didn't forget anything." He bypassed the clothes they were wearing the night before, figuring that she didn't want them anymore. He joined her in the hall and soon they were in the streets, hailing a taxi.
Next chapter, Cal and Gillian has a 'discussion' about what happened the night before. Will Gillian continue to push Cal away?
