Chapter 4

Nine o'clock shape there is a knock at Anna's door. She goes to answer it knowing who it is, "Good morning Luv," he smiles as she opens the door.

"Hi," Anna smiles and invites him inside. As Robert enters the room he gives Anna a tender kiss making sure to keep it short. Again Anna touches her lips after the kiss and smiles at Robert.

"So where do you want to go for breakfast, there are some things I would like to tell you."

"Is it important? We could order room service so we can talk in private" Anna suggests. As soon as she said this Anna wonders, what are you doing after last night should we be alone in a hotel room.

"Yeah if that's what you want, it would make it easier to talk if it's just the two of us," answers Robert

They order room service then sit in the chairs by the small table in her room. They make small talk for a little while then Anna asks, "So Robert what is it you want to tell me?" Anna knows what she wants to hear.

Robert starts off a little awkwardly "Well I, um, I, gees this should be easier," why can't I just tell her, Robert wonders.

There's a knock at the door, room service arrives giving Robert a chance to regain his composer. With breakfast in front of them, Robert tries again. "Anna, when I was in the hospital in Port Charles and we weren't sure I was going to make it, there were two things that I held onto to keep me going. One was the need to meet my granddaughter," he pauses, "the other was you and what we had said to each other. Anna, I meant every word I said to you I really want to be with you." Robert looks up at Anna but he is confused by what he sees, there are tears in her eyes but there is also a small smile.

"Oh Robert, I meant every word I said too."

As the tears start to fall from her eyes Robert reaches up to wipe them away, "Tears of joy?"

"Yes" is all she can say. She leans in and kisses him.

"Why don't we eat breakfast before it gets any colder."

There is still more he needs to say, but while they eat they make small talk about friends and family back home. When they're done eating Robert suggests going for a walk, Anna agrees. They walk hand in hand, talking about Emma and how nice it will be to see her. They joke about who gets to tell Robin that they are trying again. They both know Robin will know somethings going on as soon as she sees them together. Their conversation flows as easy as it always had in the past when they could say anything to one another. They find themselves in a little park, Robert suggests they sit for a while. Leading Anna to a bench with a little bit of seclusion, they sit and Robert decides it's time to tell her the rest.

"So before I came to Paris I had been in Switzerland. I was there for my six months checkup. I am still cancer free." Anna smiles and gives him a hug. "There's more. I also had another procedure done a few weeks before the checkup" he smiles.

"Robert! Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Anna almost yells as her face lights up.

"Yes Anna, I am," Robert says with a sly little smile and a twinkle in his eye.

"Oh Robert," What is it about this man that makes every fiber of her being tingle with excitement at the mere thought of being intimate. It had always been like this, since the first time she'd seen him there has always been this electricity between them. She moves closer to him on the bench hugging him again then kisses him, the passion is there the moment their lips meet. They lose themselves in the kiss, soon Anna is on his lap needing to be as close to him as she can. Again their hands are everywhere needing to touch. Robert's hands move under Anna's blouse. When Robert reaches up and firmly squeezes her breast Anna moans with pleasure. This sound is what brings them back down to earth and they realize where they are, Robert slows the kiss. He kisses her along her chin and down her neck saying in between kisses "maybe we should move this somewhere a little more private."

Smiling shyly "I think you're right" adjusting herself on his lap Anna giggles then says "we might have to wait before we walk anywhere."

Robert smiles "That's your fault" and winks at her. They leave the park a short time later, "Did you want to stop for lunch?"

"Robert there is only one thing I'm craving right now."

"Good, that's what I hoped you would say," he takes her by the hand and they walk back to her hotel.

Once they are back in Anna's hotel room Robert pulls Anna into his arms, "Oh I do love you."

"I love you too, this is it, Robert. You can't leave me again I need you in my life."

"And I need you in mine, trust me I'm not going anywhere."

"Robert I want you." He kisses her then picks her up and carries her to the bed, when he puts her on the bed Anna reaches up and unbuttons his shirt she pulls it off and throws it on the floor. Robert removes Anna's blouse then her pants slowly letting his hand run over her body enjoying the feel of her skin, he then joins her on the bed. Their lips find each other burning with desire there's a hunger in their kiss. Their hands move and touch with a need to reconnect with body parts that were once so familiar. Robert kisses her neck slowly moving lower, his grab her ass pulling her against him, he hears her sharp intake of breath as their centers meet. He moves his hand to her inner thigh, a soft moan escapes Anna's lips "Robert" he continues kissing her, his hand slowly moving up her thigh "Robert."

He looks up meeting her eyes "Yes."

"I need you, Robert, now" the rest of their clothes are quickly removed, Robert moves above Anna. They both moan with pleasure as they come together. Their rhythm starts slowly, but even after all these years, it is still so natural, so perfect. Their pace quickens, they match each others rhythm perfectly. Faster, driven by desire, they are both on the edge of climax. "Oh god, Robert!" Hearing Anna calling out his name he joins her as they climax together.

Breathlessly "Oh Anna, I've missed us."

Starting to catch her breath, "So have I."

They spend the rest of the day in bed together, having their way with each other. Late in the evening, they order room service, after they've eaten their late dinner Anna looks at Robert "Join me in the shower"

"Yes ma'am" They wash each other, neither wanting to stop touching and caressing the other. After the shower, the crawl into bed utterly spent and completely satisfied from their day of lovemaking. They fall asleep in each other's arms and sleep more soundly then either have slept in years.
