Authors note: This is the last chapter of my first Bond fic, thanks to all of you read, reviewed, and encouraged me.

Chapter 10 "It can never be"

Bond stared longingly out the window of the Waldorf hotel. His wide lips formed around his scotch bottle as he drank deeply. There was a sound of footfalls outside his door, he turned to see Emily standing in the doorway.

Bond tried to say something, but Emily shushed him quit. She slowly walked toward him a fire of love in her eyes. With each step she took she carefully unclipped a button of her blouse. Bond's eyes shifted from her to the Do not disturb sign she placed on the door. He thought to himself that two times was more than enough.

Emily lowered her pink skirt down to her narrow ankles, closed the shades and swung her long legs into the king-size bed. Bond approached her as she sandwiched herself between the warm wool blankets.

"It can never be," said Bond letting her slowly lift up the hem of his shirt and pull it over his round head. Sliding into next to her Bond suddenly felt oddly at home, he tenderly kissed her on the cheek and Emily's face turn a rosy red.

"I know it can never James," she wrapping her legs around his. "But just hold me a little while longer," she said slowly falling asleep to the rhythmic motions of Bond's chest.

I promise with all my heart and soul:

James Bond will return

In

The shadows of the Reich
