Chapter 7: Flames of Passion!
Behind closed doors.
"I cannot believe you did that!"
"It was just a joke." He snaps.
"What the hell is wrong with you. You been acting crazier than usual!"
"Oh so now I'm crazy!"
"Well you've been acting like fucking jerk all day!"
"I bet you wouldn't call Lance crazy or a jerk."
"What?"
"Lance."
"Is that what this is about? Lance. Really Arthur, Lance? Don't be so stupid."
"Yeah that's right. Stupid Arthur, that's me."
"What are you talking about and what does this have to do with Lance."
"Everything I saw the two of you off set."
"What? That was nothing we were just talking. That's all. Not that I need to explain myself to you!"
"You shouldn't be flirting with the show's guest it give the company a bad image."
"I give the company a bad image are you kidding?"
"You shaking your ass at Lance is not a family friendly image."
"You son of a bitch! How dare you lecture me! You treat everyone around you like shit. You yell, you shout you walk around like your fucking god's gift to humanity!"
"Oh yeah well what about you!"
"What about me?"
"Walking around like Miss Fucking goody-two shoes. You're not perfect!"
"I never said I was but at least I'm not a jerk!"
"I may be a jerk but you, you just blow up at everything and Mordred is scared shitless around you!"
She walks up to him now fuming her chest rising up and down rapidly.
"Oh like you'd know you selfish." She pokes him in the chest.
"Self centered." Another poke.
"Arrogant." She pushes him now.
"Mother fucker! I should have-"
Arthur charges at her, catching her completely off guard, wrapping his arms around her waist he kisses her trying to convey how he really feels. Gwen is shocked and she kisses him back for a second before realizing what she'd doing. She pushes him away and slaps him on the face hard. He's shocked too, stunned he touches his freshly smacked face.
"I'm sorry Guinevere, I-"
She glares at him the tension building between them.
She leaps at him kissing him back with gusto. Running her fingers through his hair she kissing him hungrily and soon their tongues are engaged in a dance their bodies are yearning for. There are no words they don't need any, Arthur presses Guinevere against the door as he locks it, caressing her body as he somehow leads Guinevere over to his couch kissing her senseless he blazes a path down her neck, into the very low-cut of her dress. To further explore her breasts where he leisurely kissing her cleavage. He wants all of her.
"How do get this dress off?" He wonders silently to himself, struggling with the opening and kissing her neck as he searches for a zipper or something.
"It unties here." She says if reading his thoughts, she shows him and the dress is quickly discarded and thrown to the floor.
"God you're so beautiful." He says cupping her breasts after he has removed her red lacy bra. He gives his undivided attention to each breast licking and suckling as she arches her back into him. She moans quietly as he uses his teeth to nibble her breast gently. While his mouth is devouring her breasts his hands busy themselves exploring the rest of her. He quickly slides her red lacy panties off her body, inhaling her scent before, placing them inside the front pocket of his shirt.
"Hey I need those." She exclaims.
"Those are mine now." He growls gripping her ass.
As glides his fingertips over her clit, she unbuckles his belt with one hand while her other pulls his hair slightly. Once the buckle is undone she wiggle the button free and clasps her hand around his long, hard cock. He groans as she grips him firmly and starts to slowly stroke him up and down.
He slides down her body nibbling her in route to his destination. Once he reaches her wet folds he inhales her scent like a man starved of air. He moans and curls her fingers through his hair. He nuzzles over her clit with his nose as his mouth works devour her. Licking every fold of her hot, wet sex his spears his tongue straight through her and she pulls his hair hard while he continues to work her into a sensitive mess. She comes hard and he greedily licks up every drop of her cream.
"Fuck Arthur come on!" She leans down and squeezes his dick hard in her hands.
"Oh shit Guinevere I need you now." He sits up to slid his jeans and underwear off.
"Wait do you have protection?"
"You're not on the pill?"
"Irrelevant. Do you have a condom or not?"
"Yes just a sec."
He stands up and goes to retrieve a condom from a desk drawer across the room. He returns and Guinevere takes the condom from him.
"I'll do it." She whispers in his ear biting it softly.
He groans. "Whatever you say."
She leans him back on the couch and strokes his dick getting him to full hardness while she opens the condom. Looking into his eyes she place the tip of the condom between her lips, she leans forward and slides the condom over his hard cock, never breaking eye contact. His moans at the skill and sexiness of her skill and his cock twitches in her mouth.
"Damn. You're perfect."
"Shut up." She smiles positioning herself over him she slides down rough and hard, impaling herself on his painfully erect cock.
They both gasp at the sudden sensation.
She doesn't take her time in building a rapid pace as she rocks and grinds her hips into his. Lust completely taking over she wants to come again. She knows she shouldn't feel so needy and hot but she can't help herself and the dirty things he is whispering in her ear drives her over the edge.
"Damn you taste so good. I wanna eat that pussy again and again!"
"Oh yeah." She rides him harder.
"Shit yeah, fuck me Guinevere!"
"Oh yes Arthur." She rides him faster.
"Ride that dick hard! I wanna feel you come again." He says thrusting up into her harder and faster with each stroke.
"Arthur oh shit!" She cries out as she comes again.
He grabs he hips tightly, her body gone limp after her orgasm and he pounds upwards, into her with need and a ferocity that electrocutes her body. A few more deep thrust and he is joining her in orgasmic bliss. They stay connected like this for a while struggling to catch their finally moves to rise from him lap. He stands and removed the used condom and looks at her, she looks away neither one of them knowing what to say next.
What have I done? Getting involved with someone I work with. especially the bosses' son. Stupid Gwen! Shit now things are gonna get all weird between us. How the hell did this happen one minute we're fighting the next we're naked and going at it like sex-crazed teenagers. I don't even know what to say I just had sex, multi-orgasmic great sex but, sex at work.
She continues to get dressed she feels his eyes on her but she refuses to turn around. She can't face him until she knows what to say or do next. Needless to say she has never taken to long to get dressed in all her life. He notices.
She won't turn around. She won't even look at me. Does she regret what happened? I sure as hell don't. Like I could. I've wanted her since that first day I saw her. Who knew sweet Guinevere was such a sexpot? She got skills and there's no doubt about that. I can't even remember how it happened, was just so pissed off at her flirting with Lance. Then she got mad angrier than I've ever seen her before. She's so fucking sexy when she's mad though. Maybe I should piss her off more often. Since she insist on ignoring me and taking forever to get dressed I guess I'll have to address what happened between us.
"Guinevere -"
"Arthur don't. Whatever you're about to say just don't. Whatever happened. Whatever this was it can't happen again."
"Guinevere?"
She turns away from him. "I should go I have to be at the restaurant in thirty minutes." She says as she rushes out of his dressing room.
"Guinevere please don't go."
"Don't make this difficult."
She turned swiftly and departed leaving a stunned and utterly confused Arthur behind.
That weekend was awful for Arthur, all he could think about was Guinevere. The way she smiled, how she laughed ,the way she looked, her smell, her very essence was intoxicating. His mind was set to Guinevere and he couldn't focus on anything else. After she rushed out of his dressing room friday afternoon he tried to follow her but she had already left the studio. He got her number from Merlin and called her immediately. She answered once, when she discovered who was calling her she never answered again.
Arthur had never acted or felt this way about anyone. Ever. And it was driving him insane. The images of her riding him with great abandon, her perky breasts bouncing up and down with each thrust, the way her skin glistened with a delicious sheen of sweat, all he could hear were her moans of passion ringing in his ears. He was addicted to her and he wanted more but, how when she wouldn't even take any of his calls or texts?
He has never been so confused in his life. He was a mess all weekend long. Refusing to go out with friends. Not taking any calls from anyone incase Guinevere tried to call him back. She didn't. By the time Monday morning rolled around he wondered if she would even show up to work at all.
He was relieved when he saw her talking to Vivian when he arrived. And he was devastated when she made another hasty retreat to avoid him once more. They needed to talk. Privately about what happened but he couldn't see a way to get one moment alone with her.
He walks after her and she stops.
"Guinevere can we talk?"
"There's nothing we need to talk about Arthur."
"Why are you acting like this?"
"It was just a moment of weakness. We work together there's no way we could keep this." She gestures between them. "Whatever this is. I can't do this okay. We can't do this. This can not happen again. Now excuse me I have a show to prepare for and so do you."
A moment of weakness.
That's what she called it.
A moment of weakness?
How can she be so detached?
Arthur felt his heart constrict slightly. At her words and the fact that she was walking away from him again. It wasn't a moment of weakness. He just knew it. The passion between them has been electric from day one. His feelings for Guinevere have only grown stronger over these past few months. No she was wrong what happened between them was wonderful, not just the sex which was amazing. But their entire relationship, the times they got to chat before and after work, those goofy jokes he would tell just to see her dazzling smile and hear her bell-like laughter. Now he understood his heartache. For the first time in life Arthur actually cared enough about someone else. But it was more than caring for Guinevere, it went way beyond that. Arthur Pendragon was in love.
If only I could talk to her. Any reason any excuse to be around her for just a few minutes. "
I could tell her how I really feel about her." He mumbles under his breath. "But how?"
It would take all the help of the universe to get Guinevere to listen to him for just a second without dismissing him.
"Great Arthur." Merlin calls out and Arthur turns around to face him.
"Hey Merlin."
"Listen have you seen Gwen?"
"Briefly." Arthur remarks dryly.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong. Why do you always assume something's wrong?"
"Because it usually is and it's usually your fault."
"Ouch. And you call yourself my friend." Arthur jokes.
"I am that's why I always keep it real."
"Whatever. What did you need Gwen for?"
"I needed to go over this schedule with her but I can't seem to find her. I need to run down to help test the new equipment before the show starts ,would you give this to her?" He asks handing Arthur a brown envelope.
Thanks universe. "Yeah sure no problem." He replies smiling.
He found Guinevere a while later in the studio pantry alone, she rolled her eyes as he approached.
"Arthur I already told you-"
He cuts her off.
"Merlin wanted you to look over these." He replies coolly handing her the folder.
"Oh okay. Um sorry." She responds softly, Arthur notices something flicker across her expression. Sadness? No disappointment.
"It's alright." He states. "Actually it's not alright. We need to talk about us."
She sighs realizing that he has her trapped literally. Trapped in the food pantry, he is blocking the entry no one knows they are down here.
Damn it.
"Fine you want to talk. Let's talk. What happened, in your dressing room was great. Really great." He smiles.
"But I can not be with you. I know how you are I've heard your reputation enough to know you. I just can be with you. I want a relationship and I know you can't give me that. You have a playboy mentality and I'm not looking to get hurt. I knew how you were when we first meet and still I let myself fall for you. What happens when you see another woman you find attractive? You'll call it off? Say we should just be friends? Don't deny it I've heard the rumours. It was a mistake and even though I do have feelings for you, I can't risk that kind of pain."
She was right. All the things she said all the rumours were true he had done and said those things countless times. But this time was different.
"Guinevere-"
"There is nothing you could say to change my mind. I just thought I should let you know how I feel."
"You were right."
"What?"
"About me. All those things you heard about me they were true."
"I knew it." She huffs.
"But that's not me anymore. Those other women that I've been with I realize now that I cause them a lot of pain. But I would never do that to you Guinevere. I would never do that to someone I care for. Someone I love."
She looks into his eyes holding back tears.
"I care for you so deeply. I love you Guinevere so completely."
She gasps stunned speechless.
"I've loved you since you doused me with a can of soda. I've loved you more when you called me out on my bullshit. You make me want to be a better person, just to see your smile of approval."
"Arthur I don't know what to say?"
"Say you love me." He says stepping closer to her.
"Say you want me as much as I want you." He closes the gap between them.
"I do but-"
He silences her with an overpowering kiss that leaves her breathless and slightly dazed.
"I do love you."
"Good because I love you more."
"But what about us. How are we ever going to keep this up? Office romances are so cliché and they never work out."
"We take it day-by-day." He smiles and she smiles back. "Plus we don't have to use the office unless you really want to." He wiggles his eyebrows suggestively.
She playfully slaps his shoulder.
"Come on we should get back upstairs." She says.
"Okay. But one more kiss." He leans in and she accepts him willingly, turning their brief kiss into a full-fledged five-minute make out session, that Gwen has to literally run away from before Arthur pinned her against and the door and took her right then and there. Or vice versa.
The Studio
They return separately as they don't want to rouse anyone suspicious.
Arthur is in his chair being prepped for the stage when Merlin approaches him.
"So did you and Gwen do it?"
"What? No!" Arthur coughs feeling his face flush bright red with guilt.
"I ask you to do one thing Arthur." Merlin sighs.
"Wait um, what are we talking about?"
"The schedule. Did you and Gwen go over the schedule?"
"Oh. Yeah we did."
"Good. What did you think I was talking about?" Merlin asks watching Arthur squirm.
"Psshh. Nothing. I don't know."
Merlin looks at him knowingly but doesn't say anything.
"Okay if you say so. And Arthur you really should learn to clean up after yourself." He says as he discreetly places and empty condom wrapper in his hand.
Arthur is shocked.
"Yeah I know. I found it on the floor under the sofa of your couch."
"Oh, I uh."
"And I happy for both of you."
"Really?"
"Yeah. It's about time actually."
"Shut up Merlin."
"Seriously the two of you carrying on like that all that sexual tension was making me work really weird. For everyone."
"Everyone?"
"Everyone."
"Everyone knows?"
"Everyone knows."
"So much for discretion."
"Yep. Naw I'm just messing with you nobody else knows but me."
Arthur visibly relaxes.
"Hey you just better treat her right. There are plenty of guys I can set her up with. I have a list. A very long list."
"I promise you that won't be necessary"
"It better not be. But I'll be checking in with Gwen just to make sure."
"Yes Mother." Arthur jokes and Merlin gives him a shove just a Gwen walks over.
"Hey Gwen." Merlin smiles mischievously.
"Um, hey Merlin." Gwen answers unsure of Merlin weird behavior.
"Well I should go. I am the director after all. I got a show to run. I'll just leave you two alone."
He turns to walk away smiling at the happy couple.
Gwen arches one eyebrow.
"What was that about?"
"30 minutes til showtime." Leon announces.
Arthur takes her hand and leads her back to his dressing room shutting the door behind them.
"He knows."
"Who knows?"
"Merlin."
"You told him!"
"What? No he just found out. I swear."
"Who else knows?
"No one just Merlin."
"Oh and what did he say?"
"He said he's happy for us and that I better treat you right because he has a list of guys he can set you up with if I ever hurt you."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Who did he say was on the list?" She asks teasing him stiffing back laughter.
"Guin-E-nere." He draws out her name and pulls her into his arms caressing her body. He kisses her again not able to get enough of her lips.
He releases her, aroused and smug about the way he kisses affect her so. "Now what were you saying about a list?"
"What list?" She asks pressing her body up against his.
He groans as his already semi hard cock twitches in his jeans.
"You'd better stop that." He warns eyes glittering with arousal.
She grinds against him, twirling her hips on the bulge in his pants.
"What we've got thirty minutes. A lot can get done in thirty minutes."
"I thought you didn't like office romances." He teases lifting her into his arms and her legs wrap around his waist expectantly.
"Well there are two things. First this is not a office its a dressing room." He nibbles at her neck.
"Okay and what's the second thing?" He mumbles into her skin.
"You do have a very comfortable couch."
