A/N: I just did some fine tuning editing on this Chapter. Not a new chapter. Not sure why I didn't catch the spelling/grammar before.


Chapter Eleven

Thank you for all again, for reading and reviewing the last chapter. This chapter was challenging because I was stuck at a certain point for several days, then poof! an idea came to me. Here it is.


Well that was too good for words. What do I do now? There isn't anything but the cold floor for me to roll over on to. Maybe she wouldn't mind if I just slid down …

Tempe guided his hips as he positioned himself on top of her and he gently pressed his lips to hers. As their tongues met and new arousals came to be, Seeley decided that her bedroom would be more comfortable and warmer. With a swift but smooth motion he knelt on a pillow, scooped her in his arms and aimlessly carried her to the bedroom all the while his eyes roamed her face. He turned sideways to allow an uneventful entry and carefully laid her on the bed. Deciding that her shorts needed to come off, he carefully unbuttoned them, and pulled them down. No underwear!

Tempe knew what he was thinking as he hovered above her, motionless. His body then slithered back up hers and ever so lightly; he grazed her feet, her inner legs and thighs with his hardened cock. He stopped at her opening nuzzling onto her clit which caused what seemed like a squeal from her mouth. One hand positioned itself beside her that kept him propped up so he could watch her face as the other circled her left nipple feeling it hardened under his finger. He then tauntingly moved his hand along the outside of her breast and down her side over her belly button and back up where he kneaded the flesh with his palm ever so softly. Tempe was immensely enjoying the feeling of his touch and she could almost taste her arousals as tension built throughout her body.

Feeling adventurous and now extremely aroused, she rolled him over and moved to a sitting position with her legs spread in a small "V", inviting him to do the same, but behind her. Thankful to get off the cold floor, he positioned a pillow under his ass as she had done the same. His erection dug into her smooth bottom which caused a small groan from both of them. Reaching around with both hands, he maneuvered them over her neck, breasts, stomach and inner thighs. How he liked her inner thighs. Smooth and firm. A few moments were spent delicately running his fingers around her shaven centre. The smoothness was intoxicating as Tempe pushed back into him while being put under a spell by the magic his hands created. She cocked her head to the side and tipped it back a bit.

"Mmmmm, you taste .. kiss .. so .. mmmmm .. kiss .. good." Tempe's words were barely audible as their mouths haphazardly mingled.


Seeley had become extra cautious, when it came to ensuring another unplanned pregnancy didn't occur with his participation. He had made a personal pact to never assume the woman was taking a pill, or inserting something inside her. A mood breaker for sure, but nothing like a screaming baby in the middle of the night. Or worse. A woman who feels you aren't qualified for the job of father for her child.
"Do you have any condoms?" he asked as their bodies suddenly became closer.

Tempe twisted her head and body so she could move her mouth down his face and over his chin. As she did this, she was being tantalized by the stubble against her lips as she kissed along his jaw line to his ear where she whispered, "I had a Tubal Ligation last year."

As the words penetrated his ears, his heart slowed, mouth went dry and his hands dropped from Tempe's hips, which he had been holding with a firm grip after their mouths had met. He wasn't the most versed man in medical terms, despite working with a Forensic Anthropologist, but he knew what she had just said, meant. His throat continued to dry up and it felt like his vocal cords had been severed.

Tempe spoke again as she looked into his eyes, which had clouded over with confusion and disbelief, "I told you I didn't want to have children. Last year I decided it was time to ensure that didn't happen."

Suddenly Seeley's words from earlier came flooding back to her. "Since I will be spending the rest of my life with you." & "I can't possibly imagine there is anything better in this universe than me spending time with my son and my future w --- "

He had a fantasy world all planned out. Fall in love, make love, get married, probably buy a house, have children. It never occurred to me to tell him, as it really wasn't anyone's business at the time but mine. And we were just work partners.

Seeley remained speechless. Of all the surprises in his life, Tempe's revelation would make the top five. He didn't want to reveal his currnet inner feelings right now, as they had gone from dreams to dust in the wind. His throat miraculously came to life, his mind telling it to make light of a situation that, well, was quite literally, impossible for him to comprehend and accept at that moment.

"Well, that certainly is an effective method of birth control," he said, a tear welling in the corners of his eyes.

He had never felt so vulnerable as he did at that moment in time. Naked; in love; filled with desire, want; lust - all for the woman before him. And his dream of creating a child with this woman shattered like a hammer hitting a mirror. But what right do I have to be angry with her? I was the one who convinced myself to not admit my feelings for her when they had surfaced. If only I had ...

That logic didn't do anything to lessen the devastation he was experiencing; his mind raced as his emotions poured through his veins in a vicious circle, unable to find an exit.
