Chapter 12
Her body was still humming as she walked back to her room, their room. She had wrapped herself in his robe, she wondered if he would miss it. She could still feel his hand inside her, his fingers exploring her. She had held him there to the shower wall; she wanted to make him feel good without him feeling bad about it. She wanted to touch him and to taste his skin. She was going to let him wait, but knowing him it might take him another five years to make a move. That brief session in the generator room had left her itching for more and she knew he wanted more as well.
When she touched her tongue to his back and wrapped her arms around him, he was already aroused. Had he been thinking about her there in the shower? His body felt so good against hers, it took everything in her power not to let him turn around to have him lick her and kiss as she had been licking and kissing him. To let his hands explore her body. To show that amount on restraint on her part was definitely the beginning of something new.
She dried herself and threw on some clothes she made mental note that a shower would definitely be needed tonight, her body was still flushed, a cold shower come to think of it. She had boiled some water to start on dinner and quickly whipped up something nice for him to eat, she herself was too riled up to eat. She took out a comic book for him to read and set out his dinner. As he made his way to the kitchen she padded him on the chest and directed him to his dinner, he smiled and thanked her under his breath. It was strange to see him so relaxed and subdued. She thought to herself that what had just happened was something he needed very much. He immediately grabbed his plate and headed to his lab, tucking the comic under his arm he headed out.
"Sheldon, I am going to take a shower then I am going to run those numbers through the computer again. Do you think we will have enough backup power to do any real work tonight?" she called out to him as he started to set up some whiteboards in the front living room area.
"Yes Penny, I believe we will have sufficient power to run both your computer and my laptop if necessary."
"You aren't going to work in your lab?" She asked, curious that he was moving out to her work area, which had been in the common room area.
"The light out here is better and I do not wish to be in that room at the moment" his answer was simple, yet it told her more than he could imagine. He wanted to be with her, close to her.
She walked over to him and laid her hand on his chest, he smelled like soap and talc and she took a deep breath. "That sounds great sweetie" she said, not once taking her eyes off of his. She lifted herself onto her toes and placed a soft kiss on the corner of his mouth, his hand grabbed her wrist, his other hand softly lying across her shoulders, pulling her a bit closer as she started to pull away. She jumped a bit at the contact, it was unexpected, even after what they just did, she knew he was not found of displays of affection or touching. She kissed him again, this time on his lips. She felt him press his lips to her this time again, she wanted to deepen the kiss, but waited, then she felt his mouth open just a bit, allowing her a access. She softly let her tongue reach out and touch his. His lips instinctively closed around her tongue, holding it to his mouth, she let her tongue begin to explore, and he gasped at the feeling, his body beginning to react, his grip becoming tighter around her. She knew if she didn't stop, this would continue and she didn't want things to go this way. She pulled away softly, a pout forming on his face, just briefly; she felt the pang in her heart.
"Eat your dinner baby, we can play a bit later on okay, I am going to go get all cleaned up and then I will come join you and we can talk physics, Doctor."
That last word earned her a look of deep desire and a small smirk formed on his face, his eyes widened, his eyebrow arched. He liked that. He liked when she called him that. She would have to store that in her memory for future use.
"Okay" he whispered the small smile still there. She pulled his face down to her and kissed his forehead.
As she turned to walk away she heard him again "Thank you Penny". She turned to say something but he was already jotting down some formulas and approximations, his hands moving swiftly across the whiteboard filling it with ideas and calculations, a grilled cheese sandwich in one hand and his weapon of choice-a dry erase marker in the other. There was only one other thing that she enjoyed more than his touch and kiss was to watch his mind at work. A smile spread across her face imagining what his mind at work would look like when he finally decides to examine her. That thought alone made her take a longer than normal cold shower.
