Chapter 12
It was just before noon when Robert got a phone call to tell him they were taking Emma for lunch then to the movies that afternoon. He happily agreed and got ready to go pick up Anna then Emma. He was just about to leave when there was a knock at his door. He opened it and smiled, "We are here to take you out today Mr. Scorpio. Young Miss Scorpio-Drake has a day planned for your entertainment. Will you follow us please." Emma took his hand and lead him out into the hallway. He watched Anna close the door then caught her eye, she smiled, he knew she had a bit of twinkle of her own and he had just seen it, they were in for a fun day.
The movie might not be one he would have picked but Emma loved it and that was what mattered. After the movie, Emma insisted that they go for a walk down on the docks before going to Kelly's for hot chocolate. "I must admit this has been a very nice day," Robert told Emma as they sat enjoying their hot chocolate.
"Oh, it's not done yet." Emma was beaming with happiness, "We are going to pick up some food and go back to Grandma's to eat," her smiled faded just a little, "Then I have to go home."
"I think by then we'll all be ready for bed," Anna told her. "You won't miss much."
"Well OK, if you say so."
Once they were done at Kelly's they made one stop then went back to Anna's. Robert was happy they had stopped for Chinese takeout and Anna promised she had ordered all his favourites. When they got to her suite Robert took the bags to the kitchen while Anna helped Emma out of her jacket then told her to go wash her hands. Anna then walked to the kitchen to help. "Are we alone?" he asked when she joined him.
"For a few seconds." Robert turned and smiled Anna was already right beside him, she put her arms around his neck, "Hi."
Robert kissed her, "Hi, we need to work on doing the greeting at the beginning of our dates." They stood in each other's arms, "I hope tonight doesn't end when Emma has to go home."
"I don't want it to." Anna smiled, "Robin is picking her up in about an hour and I have no intention of leaving again tonight."
"A quiet night in, I think I should stay and keep you company." They both smiled then Robert kissed her once more. "If you grab the plates I think we're about ready to eat." They walked out to the table and saw Emma waiting for them with a big smile on her face. "I hope you like this as much as I do."
"I think your grandpa could eat Chinese food for every meal and not get tired of it."
"Well not for breakfast, that would be silly," he said and they all started laughing. As they ate Robert and Anna notice Emma was very tired, she had finally finished eating and was almost asleep when Robin got there. "We played her out for you, you're welcome."
"Thank you, it was great having the day with Patrick and if she goes to sleep when we get home we get an evening together too," Robin smiled. "I like this taking Emma on dates thing, it works out great for me." Robert helped her get everything and once she had Emma in her arms he opened the door and then they said good night.
Anna was on the couch already, waiting for him to join her. He sat down beside her then pulled her legs across his lap, "If you're staying in for the night you won't need these." Anna smiled as he took off her boot, he was turned so he was partly facing her. He put her foot by his hip then took off her other boot when he started giving her a foot massage she closed her eye and relaxed enjoying his touch. Occasionally soft moans would escape her lips. When he put her foot down in his lap to massage the other, Anna smiled and pressed her foot against his inner thigh. It felt great having his hands on her, the foot rub was now including her lower legs and she was enjoying every minute of it. When his hand slid up inner thigh Anna moaned, "Anna sit up," he said softly. She opened her eyes, she had a leg on either side of him and he was turned facing her, she would be on his lap if she did, instead, she grinned and sat up enough to grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him on top of her. "Oh Anna," then he kissed her, she quickly unbuttoned his shirt and took it off him running her hand over his bare skin. Robert then started slowly undoing her blouse. Desire consumed them both, the need to touch, to caress, they needed to be together. Neither of them had much clothing left on when Robert pulled back and looked Anna in the eye, "We can still stop. Anna are you sure?"
"The only reason you might stop is to take me to the bedroom. I want you Robert, I've ached for your touch, laid awake at night thinking about being with you. I'm sure." She was surprised when he stood up and pulled her up into his arms, she wrapped her legs around him and he carried her into the bedroom. "You can still do that! I am going to enjoy this," she smiled wickedly as he put her down on the bed.
"You'll enjoy every minute." He kissed her and joined her in bed. Their hands roamed over their naked bodies as they kissed passionately, when she would moan his name it made him want to please her more. They made love passionately, afterword they lay in each other's arms breathing heavily, "Anna you are incredible."
Anna smiled still out of breath, "You weren't too bad yourself."
"Not too bad? The people next door might give me a better review then that just from what they heard." He started tickling her, she tried to wiggle away from him but was laughing too hard. He pulled her against him, then kissed her neck softly, his hand slowly moving down her side, Anna stopped laughing and wrapped her arms around him. She was at the mercy of his touch and he knew it.
"So much better than not bad. You are amazing and your touch dives me crazy."
"That's what I wanted to hear," he laughed as he laid back, she put her head on his chest. They just lay together for a while then Robert asked, "Do you want me to stay here tonight."
Her head was still on his chest and she was running her hand across his stomach. "I want you here when I wake up in the morning. I want to fall asleep in your arms and I want to be able to kiss you first thing in the morning."
"So that's a yes, right?" Anna started laughing again then cuddled in so she was a little more comfortable, and closed her eyes. "Yeah, I think that's a yes." He tilted her chin up and kissed her gently, "Sweet dreams Luv," he whispered then closed his eyes as well.
...
As Anna started to wake up she realized she was still wrapped around Robert, she smiled they were still naked as well, "I'm so glad last night wasn't a dream."
"Definitely not a dream. Good morning Luv." He had been awake for a while but let her sleep, he loved having her head on his chest, feeling her breath.
Anna looked up at him, "Good morning," she moved up enough to kiss him. "I've missed waking up in your arms." She kissed him again, it didn't take long before their hands were wandering all over each other and Anna was on top of him. She smiled as she adjusted herself, "I am so glad you spent the night." With his hands on her hips, she started a slow rhythm, as she quickens the pace Robert sat up needing to kiss her, then flipped them over, "Oh god Robert!" Once he was setting the pace it wasn't long before Anna cried out in ecstasy, Robert followed right with her.
They were laying in each other arms when Anna looked at the clock "Oh no, I almost forgot I have plans with Robin and Felicia. We're going for brunch, in about half an hour." Anna smiled, gave him one more kiss then jumped out of bed.
Robert smiled as he watched her hurry out of the bedroom, he sat up and decided to go put some coffee on. He put on his underwear than smiled remembering the rest of their clothes were in the living room. He went and found his pants and put them on, then went to make coffee he would clean the rest of it up while it brewed.
He looked around the room, he was pretty sure he'd found everything and took it all back to Anna's room. She had just walked back in from having a quick shower, "I found all of this in your living room, what went on here last night?"
She smiled, "You know very well what happened here. Now let me get dressed or I'm going to be late." Then there was a knock at her door, "Can you get that," he turned to leave, "put on your shirt."
"Oh right," he said with a smile and grabbed his shirt out the pile of clothes. He went to answer the door still barefoot but didn't care, if it was Robin or Felicia they are going to know soon enough that he'd spent the night. He opened the door and smiled, they were both there, they all said hi and walked in.
Felicia smiled she'd noticed the lack of footwear, "Were you hoping to sneak away before we got here?"
"I wouldn't have bothered putting the coffee on while Anna was in the shower if I was, she should be out any minute. Can I get either of you a cup while you wait." Robin said yes so he turned to leave just as Anna walked in, "Coffee Luv?"
"Yes please," she looked over at Robin and Felicia, "You're a little early right, or did I forget what time we agreed on?" then she looked at her watch.
"We're a little early," Felicia smiled, "Lose track of time this morning." Anna just smiled and sat down beside her, she was glowing with happiness. "Oh my, really? That good?"
Anna was smiling so much her cheeks hurt, then leaned in a little closer to Felicia knowing Robin wouldn't want to hear her, "He knows things and remembers things and can do things no one else ever has. I'm amazed there wasn't a noise complaint last night," then she gave Felicia a little grin, "or this morning."
"Oh my, if this is the after effect I understand why you couldn't stop thinking about it." Felicia smiled back at her.
Anna sat back, "There were moments I was amazed I could remember my name."
Robert had walked in with their coffees, as he put Anna's down he'd heard that last little bit, "You definitely knew mine," he flashed her a quick smile then went to talk to Robin, who understandably was avoiding the whispered conversation. He handed her a coffee, "I think Emma enjoyed herself yesterday, did you and Patrick get a nice quiet evening together?"
"Yes, she was exhausted. Patrick came and carried her in from the car and once she was in bed we didn't hear a peep from her until this morning." Robin leaned in a little, "Not rushing are you?"
"I'm following her lead, and this has been on hold for months. We couldn't deny what was going to happen."
"I just want you both to be happy, and I know you being together will do that, so I just don't want to see yet another false start for the two of you."
"We have talked a lot about what we want and the biggest difference is that I'm planning on moving back here. We can't do this if I'm off somewhere chasing bad guys. Once she knew that, I think we turned a corner and are going to try as hard as we can to make this work."
Robin smiled she really was happy for them, "Good." She sipped her coffee, she had been right about him being done travelling. They talked a little longer then Felicia and Anna came over, "Are you two ready now?"
"Yes, we are so let's get going." Felicia walked over and opened the door, Robin put down her cup and followed her. "We'll just wait out here," Felicia said with a smile and they walked out into the hall.
Anna smiled at Robert, "I want you here when I get back. Can that happen?"
"I don't have anything planned today, but I would like to shower and change. I can come back later."
"I want you here, so I can take you back to bed. I would have happily stayed there all day with you."
"Do you have anything to eat here?"
"Not really," then Anna remembered something, she went over to the side table by the door. "Go do what you have to then come back," she handed him a key card. "It's from when Robin was staying with me."
He took the key card and smiled, "Take your time I will be back here when you return. Now you better go before I mess up your hair and makeup."
Anna wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him, "A little messy is OK." He kissed her back pulling her closer when his hands started to roam, "I have to go," Anna leaned back and smiled. "We'll pick this up later." Then she turned and left, Robert smiled as the door closed, he went and finished getting dressed, he would go to his room order some room service, have a shower then maybe put a few things together so he wouldn't have to worry if he spent the night again.
Anna was sitting with Robin and Felicia, they were talking and laughing, just enjoying the fact they were all together. Felicia had not mentioned the reason Anna looked so happy again and that made Robin happy. Anna hadn't seen Duke walk in but noticed him standing by the bar talking to Olivia, she watched him for a minute, then looked away, she hadn't seen him since their last date. If he came over she had no idea what she would say to him. "Everything alright mom?"
"Um, I just noticed Duke is here. What if he comes over, I can't handle another fight, or seeing the pain I caused."
As he turned to leave Duke did notice Anna. When he saw that she was with Robin and Felicia and that Robert was nowhere in sight he smiled. He had seen them together the night after he'd broken up with her, Robert was walking her to her door, Duke had been happy that Robert had come back to the elevator a short time later. That night he told himself he had to stop watching for them. It didn't matter now what they were doing and he was going to try and stick to that. He knew it was only a matter of time until he saw them out together or heard from someone they had. He also knew at some point he would need to talk to Anna but wasn't sure he was ready for that yet, so he just walked away.
Anna saw him leaving and relaxed a little, they were going to have to talk at some point but she was glad it wasn't right now. Robin could see Duke walking away, "Have you talked to him since?"
"No, and I don't think I'm ready to either. He is going to want answers and I'll end up hurting him more. I will talk to him, just not yet." They talked a little longer then decided to leave, as Anna walked to the elevator she got a text from Robert saying he had been back but went out get them some supplies and was on his way back. As she got off the elevator she saw Duke again, she paused to see if he was going to come over. They made eye contact then he walked towards her. "Hello, Duke."
"Anna," when he got closer to Anna he didn't know what to say or why he had come over. They were still by the elevators and she wasn't moving.
"I think you and I need to talk soon, I don't know if today's that day but maybe we should try." She sent a quick message to Robert telling him to knock in case Duke was in her suite.
"About what? You not wanting me but how you kept stringing me along."
She turned and took his arm and lead him to her room, "Duke there was a lot more going on than that and you know it. I wanted it to work out for us I did, but somewhere along the way that started to fall apart and we both had a part in that." She opened the door to her suite and waited for him to go inside.
"Oh because I pushed you into your lover's arms?" he asked as he walked inside.
"You started keeping secrets, you stopped talking to me. Well that's not completely true you asked me about my work all the time but still wouldn't tell me who you work for. We would go out and you would ignore me most of the evening unless it was to accuse me of sleeping with Robert."
"I was right about that."
"No, you weren't!" Anna walked over and leaned on the back of the chair. "One night I got a little drunk and said things to him that I shouldn't have. Robert took me home made sure I ate something then left. There was a conversation after that night that was about what we were both feeling, but he told me he would go on respecting that you and I were together."
"Oh like that meant anything. It just meant you knew he wanted you too." Duke was angry and didn't care about being nice any longer.
"I already knew that!" Anna shot back before thinking. "We tried to put what happened in the lab behind us and we did for a while. Then you started pushing me away, going on about Robert being here. I only saw him once in a while and that was still too much for you. No matter what I said you still believed I was sneaking around with him." Anna took a step toward him, "You made an ass of yourself and accused us of sleeping together in front of Emma, thankfully she didn't understand what you'd said."
"I was wrong that day I told you that!" he yelled.
"If you saw me with him you got mad, and picked fights."
"So you couldn't keep your hands off each other while you were locked up but after you could?"
"Until recently yeah. Since the lab all that had happened between us was I made him grab my ass while I was drunk and I kissed him that night when he left."
"Oh that makes me feel so much better," he said bitterly.
"It should because you're right I could have been with him at any time. All I had to do was say yes, but I didn't." Anna wasn't holding back any longer. "Why did you hit him? You picked a fight with me on the docks then when you saw Robert you walked over and punched him."
"I don't believe for one minute he was talking about Emma, you were the one he was talking about. Both excited about spending time in your love nest."
"You'll believe whatever you want, I know what the truth is."
"The truth is you couldn't wait to break up with me. I was just in the way."
"Why would I have suggested dating both of you if I didn't want to see if we could make it work? I wanted to see if you still wanted a relationship with me. If you wanted to be with me or the memory of what we'd had. I had become very confused about what I was feeling for both you and Robert. So why did you have to hit him?"
"I already knew you were going to end up with him and I hated it. I heard him talking about you and I had just caused another fight between us. I was angry, no I was jealous so I hit him," Duke admitted. "I thought we had a nice time that night," he paused trying to calm down, "after when we went for drinks."
"We did," she agreed, "that was the night he bought us drinks.
"Robert bought us those drinks?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I wondered about why he had done that too, so I went to see him the next day," Anna explained trying to stay calm. "You can imagine my surprise when I saw his eye."
"So if I've got this straight you decided to date Robert because I gave him a black eye."
"No, there's so much more to it," Anna sighed.
"So it was because he sent you a drink that said he loves you and wants you. Maybe I should have worked out some secret codes to tell you how I feel as well," Duke told her bitterly.
"Maybe you should have tried some passion!"
"What that hell does that mean?"
"It's because we almost did it up against a wall alright!" She was angry and didn't care what he knew now. If Duke wants to believe they were lovers he should know they could have been.
"YOU WHAT?"
"The day after you hit him, when I went to talk to him. He kissed me and"
"And that's all it takes! A kiss from Scorpio and you're on your back," he meant to hurt her.
"I guess so," she answered angrily. "Maybe you should have tried kissing me so I could feel your desire all the way to my toes."
He was angry but he felt like that was a challenge, Duke pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately. He held her close, Anna's arms went around his neck. She was kissing him back but Duke knew something was different now, even for him. When he ended the kiss he held her a little while but when she brought her arms down he let her go. "We don't have that anymore."
"No, it's been missing for a while." She sighed and looked him in the eye, "I'm sorry, maybe I was letting go of us and I wasn't telling you what I was feeling either. We stopped talking to each other about our feelings and we lost something special."
"I think what bothered me the most and why I was willing to believe you were sleeping with Robert is because of how you respond to him. I knew he was on your mind, I knew something had changed. Yeah he was trying to give us space, but I also knew things had happened between the two of you and if you were really committed to us they wouldn't have. The other day we were having lunch and you spotted him, there was a smile I haven't seen in a long time, you were just happy to see him, you used to smile at me like that."
"Duke, I am truly sorry for hurting you like this," she touched his face. "I will always love you and care what happens to you."
"I think we've both made mistakes involving each other. Maybe you right, maybe I was holding onto the memory and didn't want to accept that you had changed. I should have talked to you about how I was feeling instead of fighting with you." There were tears in Anna's eyes now, Duke took her in his arms again and they held each other tight. He would always love her but knew he had to let her go. Duke leaned back and looked into her eyes, he touched her cheek, "I love you."
Anna smiled, "I know, I love you too." She gave him a kiss, then stepped back a little.
"I think I should go, leave on better terms than last time."
"Yeah, that's a good idea." Anna walked with him to the door and opened it, "I'm glad we talked."
"Me too," he kissed her cheek then left.
Anna closed the door then walked over to the couch but didn't sit down, she started pacing, she felt so confused by her emotions. She was happy they talked but sad that again she had said things to hurt him. She was glad they both admitted to making mistakes and that they agreed they'd stopped talking but that didn't change how she felt about hurting him, or how he'd hurt her. She didn't know if she wanted to cry, or if she was happy that they could move forward now. She pulled out her phone when she got a text. 'Do you need a little time to yourself?' Anna smiled, 'No' she sent back. It seemed like only seconds had passed when the door opened and Robert walked in carrying a bag of groceries, he put them down and came over to her. She had stopped pacing when he came in and was now just looking at him.
Robert had no idea what had happened between her and Duke he had gotten her message just as he got back and had seen them walk in here. He had gone over and sat in the spot they had both seen Duke watching for them and waited for him to leave. He couldn't tell what she was feeling, then a single tear fell. He reached up and wiped it away as soon as he touched her cheek she tilted her head slightly toward his hand. He moved a little closer and wrapped his arms around her. She didn't cry, but he could tell she wanted to be held. "You are my rock, my anchor, but sometimes parts of me break because of you. I will always love him and I hope I'll be able to be his friend."
"I know, hopefully, I can be his friend again too." Robert leaned back so he could look at her, "I do understand, I was once the man you loved but not the one you were in love with." She smiled at him, then he gave her a kiss.
"One more," she smiled, Robert kissed her again a little longer. "Yeah, it's there." Robert was turning to get the groceries and looked back at her to see if she was going to say anything else. "Um, I think in a way I challenged Duke and he kissed me good and proper but the spark just isn't there anymore."
Robert smiled, "I'll put these away when I come back we can talk about it or we can do something else." Anna smiled and went and sat down, when Robert came back he sat beside her, "So you two talked for quite some time, do you want to talk some more?" Anna turned so she was facing him, she told him about the conversation with Duke, when she finished he said, "It sounds like it's a better way to leave off, there's sure to be a few more talks."
"Yeah, we yelled at each other said things to hurt each other but it wasn't really a fight. I think we just needed to deal with the emotions, get them out." Robert agreed with her, then she smiled and asked, "What are we doing tonight? I want to go out with you."
"Floating Rib, we can get something to eat, have a couple drinks, just be out together."
"Should we call anyone to join us, Maybe Robin and Patrick or Mac and Felicia? It would be nice to go out with another couple," she smiled.
"Actually like couples, hand holding, touching, maybe even kissing?" Robert asked with a little grin.
"First you get sex now you want kissing too?" Anna smiled and moved closer to him, she pushed him back and crawled onto his lap, "Is this too much public affection?" then she kissed him.
"It's a good thing this isn't public."
Anna kissed him again then patted his cheek and stood up, "I'm going to make some calls," then she turned and picked up her phone a big smile on her face as she walked away.
...
They ended up meeting Mac and Felicia, Robin had passed on the invitation. Anna and Felicia were watching the guys play pool while Anna told her about talking to Duke after brunch. Robert was lining up his shot when Mac said, "Felicia told me you were still at Anna's this morning."
Robert took his shot, "I was."
Mac came over, "Do not walk away this time, do not leave her to go on some adventure," Mac warned him.
Robert was touched by this more than threatened, he knew Mac loved Anna and would always look out for her because he thought of her as a sister. "The only reason I would leave is if she asks me too. I want her in my life, I want to have what could have been ours all along."
"You aren't just saying that are you?"
Robert walked over and hugged him, "I get it, I won't hurt her. It means a lot to know you look out for her too."
Mac smiled at him, "I know you'd do the same for Felicia." Robert went to take his next shot, "So what's this side project that's cutting into the time you can spend helping me?"
"I am looking into some suspicious activity for someone so it has me busy once in a while."
"So you aren't even working and you have to be out there doing the spy thing. Does Anna know about this?"
"Yes she does, she's the one I'm doing it for," he told him with a smile. He was now on the eight ball, "side pocket," he was watching Mac when he took the shot. When he heard it go in, "Can we rejoin our dates now or do I need to beat you again?"
Mac smiled and they walked back towards their table, "I will beat you one of these times."
"What, you can't beat your big brother at pool? I think he needs some new competition." Anna smiled and got up as Mac sat down.
"This isn't darts, you haven't beaten me fairly at pool yet."
"Worried I'll beat you in front of your brother? Come on big boy, show this little lady how it's done." Then she walked over to the pool table and racked the ball, Robert followed her back to the pool table. They had played many games of pool, how badly did she want to win he wondered and smiled. "I believe it's your table so your break."
Robert took the first shot and sank a ball off the break, he was lining up his next shot when he noticed Anna had taken off one of her shirts and was now wearing a snug tank top. He smiled, it was going to be that kind of a game, he made the shot and was lining up the next one. He smiled as he watched her adjust so everything looked just right in that little shirt, she looked at him and he winked before making his next shot. He was lining up the next shot when Anna walked over to him and just as he took the shot she leaned in and said, "I love how you handle your stick."
"Your shot," Robert smiled at her after missing, then watched her line up her shot, "Take your time I can watch this all night." Each shot she took her time lining up, with a little extra wiggle when she knew Robert was checking her out. Anna sank three balls before it was his shot again. "Be good," he told her and smiled.
Anna started to move with the music, Robert took his shot trying not to watch her too closely. As he walked around the table for his next shot he watched Anna dance seductively, he was smiling as he lined up his shot. She was going to have to better then that if she wanted to win, then he sank the ball. While he lined up his next shot Anna picked up his beer, she smiled at him while she held it against her cheek then took a sip. Whether she actually spilt any he didn't care, he watched as she smiled and wiped at her cleavage before licking her finger. "Here's your beer," she smiled and handed him the bottle after he'd missed his shot, she sank two of hers before missing.
Without looking at Anna he took his next shot and made it. Anna wondered over to him and leaned on the table beside him, he quickly took his shot before she could try anything and smiled when it went in. When he was lining up the eight ball, Anna just smiled and turned, she put both hands on the side of the table and looked right at him, "Let's go have a quicky," she whispered. He took the shot sank the eight but the cue ball followed it in. "Oh you scratched, I win," she smiled.
"That is not fair, I know you didn't mean that you're just teasing me." He smiled and walked toward her she turned and smiled at him.
When he leaned in to kiss her she put her arms around him "I know that's the only way to beat you, but you like it," then she kissed him. They turned and went back to the table both Mac and Felicia were smiling.
"I don't think that tactic is going to work for me, but it was fun to watch."
"That was hot. Mac wants to put a table downstairs so I want tips," Felicia told her with a big grin. "Do I want to know what you said at the end." Anna leaned over and whispered it to Felicia and they both started to laugh. "Oh, you little tease."
"He knew it was coming why do you think he likes to play pool against me? It's always a little like foreplay," then she smiled at Robert.
"Some games are a little naughtier than others, as soon as there was a costume change I knew I was in trouble." Robert had his hand on Anna's back as they talked he needed to touch her after that. They talked a little longer before Mac and Felicia had to leave, "I think I'm ready to leave as well."
"You sure you don't want another game of pool," Anna teased.
"Another night, maybe a more private room, another game with a striptease," he smiled at her. "That was the last time we did it on a pool table?"
Anna smiled at him, "That was a while ago. Take me home Scorpio." They put on their coats and left holding hands. They were in the elevator when Anna turned to him, "Do I get to offer any input into the apartment you get?"
"I think that would be a good idea, I'm hoping you'll want to spend time there, maybe spend the night sometimes."
Anna turned to him, "Robert, I want you to spend the night again," then she kissed him. When the doors started to open she took his hand and lead him down the hallway, "I liked waking up with you this morning," she told him as she opened her door.
Robert smiled and followed her inside, "So are you suggesting that we have sleepovers on the weekends now?"
"I wasn't really thinking that far ahead," she giggled then went and sat on the couch, "I was thinking about tonight."
Robert joined her, "What am I going to do if a coordinator position doesn't open up? I'm a little past my prime, and like you said there aren't that many jobs here that require our skill set."
"There's lots of time to think about that." Anna looked him in the eye and noticed he looked a little concerned. "Why are you worried about that right now?"
"I need to have something to do, I'll drive you crazy if I don't." He put his arm around her, "Anna when you asked about the apartment before, I meant it I want your input, I want you to feel like you are welcome there, that it could be somewhere you might want to live someday."
"So I get to have some say then, I think I like this." She loved that he was talking like this, he really did want this to work. "Robert I had fun tonight, I love that free spirit you bring out in me. You are the only man I have ever played that kind of dirty pool with. I don't care who else is watching I do all of it just for you, I love seeing the desire in your eyes."
Robert gentle kissed her, "Anna I want you to go put on something that makes you feel sexy, I'll meet you on top of the covers in ten minutes." Anna smiled at him then got up to do what he'd asked.
She was laying on the bed in a red nighty that had a little bit of lace and hung just low enough to cover everything but still showed off lots of skin. He stood in the doorway just in pyjama bottoms, "You look ravishing," then he walked over and joined her. He laid on his side facing her so she turned to face him. "I want to cherish you," he gave her a quick kiss, "I want to do some of those things we said to each other while we danced." He reached up and touched her cheek, then slowly moved his hand down her side, resting it on her hip.
Anna smiled, they had mostly talked about pleasuring each other, things they wanted to do to each other. She put her hand on his chest, "Take your time."
"I was planning on it," then they kissed. The hunger was there but this was a slow sensual kiss, their hand slowly moving over each other's body. When she tried to remove his pyjama bottoms, "That can wait, you first," she moaned as his hand went between her legs. Anna was second third and fourth as well, she was very satisfied but she still wanted more.
Anna smiled, everything he had done to her and they both still had clothes on, that was about to change. She sat up and smiled then took off her nighty, "The last time you were this giving you wouldn't let me do this." Anna reached over and started to take off his bottoms, he smiled and helped her take them off. After Robin and Patrick's wedding they had gone back to her room together, he had spent the night pleasuring her but refused to let her take his pants off, he didn't want her to see him when he thought he was less than the man she had always known. Not this time, it was now Anna's turn to do some of the things she'd told him she wanted to do. She pushed him onto his back and smiled, "I get to set the pace now."
