Sorry for the delay, I've just been so busy! Enjoy x


Mellie still hadn't spoken to Fitz, he could tell she probably didn't even want him in her presence but he didn't leave her side the entire rest of the day after their session. She had turned completely catatonic and he ended up carrying her back to their room.

"Thanks Sam" Fitz said as the agent helped him through the door to their bedroom.

"The prescription Sir?" Sam replied. Fitz shook his head.

"We'll be fine without it Sam. Just have the food sent up in an hour or so"

"Yes Sir" the agent said and shut the door.

Dr. Harris had left a prescription for Mellie, worst case scenario, but he knew Mellie didn't want medication. She was afraid of becoming dependent. He carried her into the bathroom and set her to her feet. She kept her eyes away from him but he could tell she was there enough to handle things with his help. He left her side to turn on the shower. Mellie had turned her back to him, probably waiting for him to leave so she could undress.

"I'm not going" He said returning to her. Mellie kept her back to him and let out a ragged breath. "It's not that I don't trust you to be alone… I… I want to be here for you. I love you Mellie, you have to know that." He reached for her hair and started pulling out the pins she had in. He looked in the mirror and saw an annoyed look cast a shadow across her beautiful tear streaked face.

Fitz smirked at her, he knew her well enough to know what she was thinking and he took advantage of that. She didn't need to respond to him verbally, he could have a conversation with her reactions.

"I know you're not a child, but I want to take care of you." He remained fixated on her face in the mirror. Her eyes were closed but he could see them rolling under her lids. He pulled off her shrug and placed it on the counter before reaching up to undo the zipper on her dress. As soon as it was down she shifted away from him again. He went to her vanity and found her brush and started to comb through her soft curls.

"I'm not leaving… I'm not walking away for you… from us…" he said softly setting down her brush and returning to undo her necklace.

Fitz looked up again at her in the mirror and it was completely void of emotions now. Her face was sullen and her beautiful blue eyes were greyed and blankly staring off at nothing. He sighed heavily and backed away. He gave her space but he still didn't leave. She showered quickly and skipped her extensive nightly regimes, he could tell she wanted to get to bed as soon as possible. He tried to get her to eat some of the food he had sent up but she refused.

Mellie didn't want to think anymore, she didn't want to feel anything, and she certainly didn't want to talk. She wanted Fitz to leave her alone, she just wanted peace for one moment in her life she wanted peace. She was laying on her side now staring at the wall, she could feel his eyes on her back. She wished he had left, that he had gone to sleep in one of the other rooms.

"We should go home" Fitz said quietly from behind her "We both need some time away from these walls… we'll leave tomorrow" Mellie didn't respond but she liked the idea.


"I SAID MAKE THE PLANS" Fitz yelled as Cyrus followed him into the Oval.

"We can't just abandon every meeting we have had set in place for months in a days notice" Cyrus snapped back

"I'm going GOD DAMMIT" Fitz said slamming his hands onto his desk "We're going… I need to get her away from the White House for a while" Fitz said taking a deep breath and trying to quell his anger.

"Can we compromise and make it Camp David instead of your home" Cyrus said clearly still frustrated

"Fine…but then we leave today" Fitz said walking around the desk to his chair "That will be all Cyrus"


He found her sitting in a large wing backed chair by the roaring fireplace when he made it back to their cabin, she appeared to be wearing nothing but an oversized sweater. Her sex appeal was ever apparent, but Mellie still wasn't speaking to him, however he had managed to get her to join him for dinner. They had already been at Camp David for a week and he was hoping to have made more progress than this. Without telling her he had flown Dr. Harris in as well, but he decided not to use her services unless they reached worse circumstances.

"Mel" He said softly taking off his jacket, he could feel the warmth of the fire from where he stood. "Can I get you anything? Water?"

She simply shook her head. Fitz sighed heavily, he felt he knew what he needed to do but he didn't think he was ready yet. He approached her slowly trying to summon the courage, praying he wasn't making a mistake that would push her further away.

Fitz reached her chair and sat in front of her, he touched her lower leg that was curled under her and she flinched. It was like 15 years ago all over again, he felt his stomach turn. He pushed past it though and told himself he wasn't forcing her, he was showing up for her. He moved his hand down her leg to her ankle and grabbed it pulling her foot towards him. He did the same with the other leg, putting both feet in his lap and began massaging them. Mellie never looked at him or gave him and kind of response, but she didn't protest either so he continued.

He wanted to speak to her but he was still trying to find the right words, when she finally spoke. "Why" she asked in a soft whisper. He didn't need to question what she meant, he knew exactly what she was referring to.

"She was there… it has to do with her father" he replied still rubbing her feet. He was studying her face now, watching for any tells she might give him. The light of the flames danced across her porcelain skin and deep blue eyes, he couldn't help but get lost in her beauty for a moment. "He's… he is a very bad man Mellie. It's something I'd rather not involve you in… the less you know the better." Mellie shifted and he could see the flash of annoyance splash across her face, despite the warmth of the fire her blue eyes were cold as ever.

"Mel" Fitz started again moving closer and placing a tender kiss on her bare knee "She came to me for help, I'm the only one… the President is the only one who can help her with her father. Please Mel, believe me when I tell you it wasn't personal. Not in the way you think"

"Would you have told me" she asked still not looking at him

"Yes" he said putting his nervous hands back to work messaging her lower leg "We promised to be honest with each other. I would have told you she came to see me, but I still… I don't want you to know why. You can't be mixed up in it."

"Fine" she replied shortly and let out a huff of air.

"Mellie" he said shifting to his knees. He had been before her like this, to beg for her forgiveness, but this time he truly meant it. "I need you to forgive me" he said placing his hands on her thighs. Her face scrunched in annoyance and her eyes shifted back and forth slightly but she still wouldn't look at him. Fitz took a deep and pained breath before continuing. "I want you to…" his voice started to crack "to forgive me for not hearing you…" his hands began to tremble on her thighs as his voice continued to waver. Mellie's breathing quickened as her heart began to thud in her chest.

"I should have been there to protect you from him… I should have… I should have known something was wrong" he said dropping himself into her lap "Can you ever forgive me…" his voice trailed off as it became muffled by tears. Mellie's heart caught in her throat. She hadn't expected this from him, her eyes dropped to his head in her lap. Tears began to well in her eyes. Her hands trembled as they moved instinctively to his head. She ran her fingers through his hair as he clung to her and cried.

"Fitz" she said her voice barely audible, she was still stroking his hair delicately with her fingers. Upon hearing his voice, Fitz lifted his head up off her lap. Mellie's hands moved from his hair to his face and she leaned in searching his eyes. He could see the coldness had melted away and more tears were threatening to fall from her beautiful blue eyes.

"Please Mel…" he said, lips quivering. Mellie leaned in even closer and rested her forehead against his.

"No… Fitz…" she said softly, her own voice starting to break

"Mel.." Fitz whispered letting out a pained breath of air, his face started to fall again as his entire body began to give out.

Mellie moved her hands under his chin and lifted his face up until his eyes met hers again. She wasn't expecting to see so much pain and hurt in his eyes, they pierced through her soul like daggers sending a shiver down her spine.

"Fitz" she said trying to draw back his attention "I can't forgive you because…" her voice shook again "You are not to blame… I am not to blame…neither of us are"

"He is" Fitz whispered finishing her thought and she nodded slowly. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her off the chair on to his lap. Mellie melted into him and buried her face into his neck. "I love you so much" he whispered and held her as close as possible.

"I love you too" she replied.

"The thought of losing you…" Fitz whispered into her hair and taking a deep breath before continuing "I've never been more certain of how much I love you. My life doesn't make sense with out you…. I'm not complete without you" he kissed her forehead

"I… I don't want to talk anymore" Mellie said shifting in his arms. Fitz narrowed his eyes at her, he thought they were finally getting somewhere, he hated to see her throw her walls back up.

"Mel" he said in a confused whisper

"I want to feel" she said in a soft sultry voice. Her delicate hand ran up the back of his neck and sunk into his curls. She pulled his face to hers and kissed him softly. His hands ran down her body and found the bottom of her sweater. He grabbed it and pulled it up over her head and tossed it aside, she wasn't wearing anything under it and he groaned in pleasure.

"Don't move" he whispered into her ear, she nodded. He didn't want to leave her side and break whatever spell had befallen them, but he wanted her to be comfortable, he planned on taking his time and making her feel everything. He got up and walked to the bed grabbing the blanket off it and returning to their spot in front of the fire, he laid it over the rug and she crawled onto it as he removed his clothes. Mellie laid there so seductively before him as he took his time undressing, he watched the flames dance over her porcelain skin and perfect curves. Her hands were running over her body in anticipation as she watched him watching her. There was a heat building in her that had nothing to do with the warmth of the fire.

Fitz finished undressing and dropped to his knees. He crawled towards her feet and paused long enough to look into her beautiful face before he set his lips and fingers to work. Despite the warmth of the fire behind her, chills covered Mellie's flesh when Fitz planted knowing kisses along her legs working towards her now pooling center. She moaned and her body quivered at each contact. She felt his warm breath near her core and she sucked in a deep breath of anticipation, but he merely placed a kiss before continuing up her body.

"Fitz" she whined and he chuckled. He bit at the tender skin near her pelvic bone as his hands ran up towards her breast. Her whine immediately turned into a moan and he smiled to himself.

"You said you wanted to feel" he said placing his hands along side her and hovering over her. "You should have been more specific about what you wanted." he said and dropped his face to her chest latching onto one of her already hardened nipples. Mellie just moaned again, he was in complete control of her now, but she drug her fingers across his back in a show of playful annoyance. He showed the other side the same attention before running his lips across her collarbone to her neck. He sucked on her hard before pulling away to the sound of a loud pop. The dark mark already began to form on her fair skin and he smirked at how it would look tomorrow.

He turned his attention to her mouth now crashing into her lips and forcing his tongue into her mouth. She kissed him back hungrily and started to wrap her legs around him. She felt his erection against her thigh and wished she was feeling it inside her.

"Stop teasing" she whined. Fitz pulled back and gazed into her beautiful eyes, the desire in them he was sure was a match for his own.

"Yes baby" he replied. He quickly moved back down her body, he could have stayed and ended things, lord knows his throbbing member wanted release but he couldn't help himself. He needed to taste her, to please her in this way.

He made it in-between her thighs and took a deep breath inhaling her scent before slipping his tongue into her warm wet folds. Mellie's body shook in response and she arched her back pressing herself into his face. He worked his tongue and mouth in ways he knew would bring her the greatest pleasure, but he also tried different things gaging her response for future use.

"Fiiittzzz" she sputtered over and over between moans when he located a particularly tender spot. He could feel her body becoming more and more rigid as her orgasm began to build. Her hips started to rise and fall against his movements and he knew she was close. Her erotic vocals alone were about to make him fall over the edge. 'Her name is Melody for a reason' he thought as he found the spot he knew would bring her to climax.

"Fuuuckk" she screamed out as her orgasm rippled through her body. Fitz finished licking up the juices that flowed from her before moving back up her body. He paused along the way to lick up sweet beads of sweat that had formed across her skin.

"You taste so good" me mumbled into her flesh as he went. Mellie's chest was heaving as he kissed his way across it, moving to her face.

"That was amazing" she tried to say through ragged breaths.

"You're amazing" he replied and molded his lips to hers.

Fitz probably should have given her more time to recover before continuing but he needed to get himself inside her now. He shifted his body and guided his throbbing dick into her slick entrance. He pulled back out and entered her again, repeating the process until she grew tired of his teasing and wrapped her legs back around him, forcing him to stay put.

"Tease" she said and bit at his lower lip. Fitz kept his movements painfully slow, enjoying the feeling of his body gliding over hers.

"God you feel so amazing" he groaned into her neck, trying to get himself under control

"Harder" she moaned back, fingers digging into his flesh. He obliged and her hips raised to meet each thrust.

"Fuck Mel" he groaned again "I'm gonna cum"

"Me too" she replied breathlessly. He pulled back and moved to his knees running his hands roughly across her chest and down her torso. He placed his hands under her hips and lifted them up off the ground. Mellie's head rolled back and her hands clung to the blanket beneath her. The change in position alone was almost enough to make her cum.

Fitz pumped into her slowly at first but increased his speed and force with each thrust until he was slamming into her. Mellie's moaning turned to screaming and incoherent words as the pleasure tore through her body. Her orgasm hit her harder than she expected and stars danced across her vision as her inner muscle clamped down hard on Fitz bringing his orgasm right along with hers. His hot load shot deep into her and their mixed juices began to pool out from her, running down her thighs.

He moved his hands up her back and pulled her up to him. She straddled his lap as he held her close and continued to pump her. Mellie's head dropped to his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her trailing his fingers across her soft skin.

"We're gonna be okay" he whispered "I love you so much"

"I love you too"

Fitz carried her to their bed and held her close to him as they drifted off to sleep.
