Whatcha Say

Part XXI

Sami knew without a doubt that EJ was doing nothing more than playing games with her by his goading her on and then kissing her to the point where she couldn't think clearly. Her failed attempt to stop him from spouting off sexual innuendos by divesting the last of her clothing in front of him before reaching for his proffered shirt made her angry. Why couldn't she ever get the best of him like he seemed to constantly do to her?

So she pulled away from his kiss, sat upwards and shoved him back trying to keep him off balance. He fell back easily instead of resisting her efforts and he began to laugh as she straddled him, one lithe leg on either side of his waist. She grabbed his wrists before he could pull her into another kiss and held both his arms pinned above his head within her own small hands being careful not to let her aching center get too close to what she liked to refer to in her mind as the danger zone.

Damn if this woman didn't intrigue him because he could easily escape her puny attempts to stop his hands from roaming all over her body if he wanted to do so, but he was far more interested to see what she would do with him if she felt like she was in charge of the situation.

"Why do you always feel the need to embarrass me?" she asked as she continued to hold his arms above his head even though she could feel him start to resist her attempts at dominance when she asked him the question.

"I like to see you flustered," EJ offered up in response and tried to slide up some so that he could try to come into contact with her more intimately. It was driving him insane to feel the drops of moisture that had seeped out onto his stomach while she valiantly tried to keep his arms up above his head. "Also hot and bothered belong on that list as well."

Sami tried not to think about how aroused she was by his words, then again he probably could read the phone book to her in that sexy voice of his and she'd want him to take her. EJ DiMera was pure sex on a stick and what a stick he had in his possession.

When she brought herself out of thinking about his generous endowments she realized he was smirking at her while he tried to jostle her a bit to bring her further down on his body and loosen up her tight hold on him. No way was she going to be able to hold him off and stay on top as she felt her position slowly slipping and it would only take a few more half hearted attempts on his part for him to toss her over on the bed to align her with the aforementioned in her mind danger zone.

Which of course he did within the next few seconds as he tucked her underneath his body and placed her arms above her head instead reversing their positions with a simple ease that it made her want to scream at him. Not that it would do any good, but still for once she'd like to be the one in control.

"I'm not afraid of you EJ," she frowned as she tried to keep her legs closed even though she'd have to be an idiot not to feel how big his erection was against her even if he still had on his boxers.

He leaned down to kiss the tip of her nose even though his tone was serious. "Of course you're not afraid of me. Why should you be? You know I'd never willing hurt you,"

Oh why did he have to go all sweet and sincere on her especially when they were barely clothed? She knew firsthand how badly he could hurt her and she grudgingly thought about how she could hurt him as well, noting the faint scar that resided on his hairline from the gunshot wound she had given him months ago.

"EJ lets not be naïve and lie to one another, we've both hurt each other several times over…" She tried to dislodge one of her hands so that she could reach up to trace his scar to prove her point, but he deftly avoided her coming into contact with it, instead he leaned down and whispered into her ear.

"That is in the past; this is the present and now is the start of our future together." He pushed her hair that had fallen into her face by his actions.

"EJ, you know this marriage isn't going to be real," Sami hated bringing it up knowing that it would probably kill whatever mood they had begun a few minutes ago with one another.

"It will be as real as we let it be," EJ stated as he let go of her arms and got off from on top of her, opting to lie beside her instead, turning her to her side as well so that they could face each other. "Look I'm under no illusions of the grandeur of love happening between us this time around. In fact if you must know I empirically do not believe in love anymore at all."

"You love our children?"

"Of course I love our children, let me explain, I do not believe in the fantasy of romantic love between two people."

Sami snorted, "Tell me another one EJ."

"I don't and I've got the battle scars to prove it."

With that comment brought out in the open, it gave Sami pause, why he had been thinking along the same lines as her, well somewhat with the exception of his spouting off this nonsense of not believing in love anymore.

"Let me get this straight, even though you don't believe in love you want to marry me, for me to be your wife…"

"We've married before and love wasn't in the equation, so why should it be now?"

"But you loved me before when we married?"

"And you didn't love me. You made that point perfectly clear during our first go round, this time it will be simpler, my expectations do not include the prospect of love at all. Really I thought you'd be relieved especially since you've claimed to despise me most of the time."

"EJ, it's just that things are complicated between us, they always have been and now that I'm pregnant…"

"Look I'm trying to do the right thing for the sake of this baby, the sake of our other children. They deserve a stable home life for a change, to not bounce back and forth between parents and I want a chance to be a real father to them, one that tucks them in each night, one that is there for them when they need me to be, not living in another place. Don't you think they deserve some stability?"

"Of course I want them to have some stability, but they will know we don't love each other…"

"How? My theory is that we agree to be completely faithful to one another, no extramarital affairs…"

"I have never cheated on any of my husbands," Sami claimed and then had to back track her statement. "Well I hadn't ever until these past few months with you."

"I know of one other time," EJ began to which Sami began to frown wondering what he meant. "You know when we were married the first time and you went over to see your true love Lucas for a quickie while I was in our apartment unable to get up from my wheelchair."

"A wheelchair you were using as a prop since you could walk," Sami fired back wondering how he had known about her and Lucas that one time, then again she should have known he had probably guessed it long ago and was only wanting confirmation of the fact.

"Not at the time, but I eventually got there," EJ countered as though his pretending not to be able to walk at the time was nothing for her to have been upset about at all.

"I didn't know you knew about that, but then we weren't in love…"

"Well one of us wasn't in love, which is why I want a fidelity clause this time," EJ propped up on one hand so that he could look fully into her eyes. "We draw up a pre-nup stating what is expected and what isn't expected of us with this marriage."

"How utterly romantic, a pre-nup," Sami repeated with more than a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "Let me guess does this pre-nup contain a clause for sexual favors since we are supposed to be faithful to one another?"

"I thought since we both clearly enjoy sex then what is the harm with us continuing this aspect of our somewhat twisted relationship."

"You got that right, it is twisted," Sami noted with a roll of her eyes.

"Do you really want to be celibate? I honestly do not want to be jacking off just because you might not be willing to participate in other more pleasurable activities with me because let's face it. I know what gets you off and you do a fairly good job of doing the same for me."

Sami cocked one of her eyebrows after he delivered that last line to her.

"Okay you do a fantastic job, but seriously we both have a high sex drive and while it would be enjoyable watching you make yourself cum…"

"Ewww EJ," Sami scrunched up her face in a frown.

"Please don't go all namby pamby on me, everyone masturbates," EJ began only to have Sami put her hands over her ears in retaliation to his statement.

"Stop talking about this," Sami raised her voice while still holding her hands over her ears which made EJ sit up in bed to remove her hands from her ears.

"So much for someone being naïve," EJ kept her hands away from her ears and proceeded to pull her up into his lap. Sami tried to squirm to get away from him, but he wouldn't let her leave his lap and apparently even with all this talk of non love between them he was still pretty horny because she could feel the evidence of it as her bottom was situated with only the thin material of his boxer shorts separating them and he definitely was still aroused.

"Let me go EJ," Sami said through gritted teeth. He really did love to embarrass her, why people never spoke of doing such things, but of course he would be the one to profess to it.

"Come on Samantha, show me how you do it," EJ whispered silkily in her ear. "Show me how you touch yourself when you think you are completely alone."

"I don't," Sami claimed with a shake of her head.

"Liar," EJ countered back to her, refusing to let her go and unbuttoning the few buttons she had buttoned on his shirt she had been wearing causing it to fall open and expose her body completely to his view as he sat her down right in front of him. "I bet you even think about me when you do it."

"I don't," Sami shook her head again as her cheeks flushed a bright red and she closed her eyes, refusing to look at him even though her nipples hardened and she felt a gush of wetness come from her over his suggestive words.

"I think you do, so show me. I want to see you come apart with me sitting right behind you. I won't tell anyone ever. There's no one here with us, just me and you." EJ's breath was hot in her ear as he whispered to her, prompting her to touch herself.

"EJ," Sami began once more in hopes of making him change his mind and get off of this subject. Of course she masturbated, but she had never admitted it to anyone, much less actually performed the act in front of anyone. Why any of her other lovers would have probably been put off if she had even suggested it, much less started doing it in front of them. Sure EJ had seen her touch her clit before while they had sex with one another, but for her to go from start to finish by her own hands without him touching her was another matter entirely.

"Please, I want to see you," EJ pleaded softly in her ear right before he lightly bit down on her earlobe. "You know you want to, I can see how turned on you are by my suggesting it to you."

She shook her head once more in negation, but when EJ kissed her neck in that one spot that drove her absolutely crazy with need she tentatively raised one hand to her breasts lightly brushing both of them causing her nipples to raise up further than they had been.

"That's it," EJ coaxed her on when she took her other hand and her fingers barely touched her clit which caused her to immediately lean back up against EJ's strong chest.

This was wrong she shouldn't be doing this in front of him, but in a way it was also very liberating as well. So after the first tentative touches that were hardly connecting with her body she began with one hand to tweak her nipples as the other hand started to rub her aching clit in earnest. Her breathing became erratic as she continued onward, keeping her eyes closed though because she didn't think she could look at EJ while she was attempting to bring herself to orgasm.

"Are you thinking of me while you are touching yourself?" EJ asked from behind her, his voice whispering all kinds of praise to her then he would kiss her neck momentarily before going back to nip on her ear in between uttering maddening phrases to her. When she wouldn't answer him he pushed his shirt away from her shoulder and bit down on it with a tiny love bite which drove her closer to the brink. "Are you Samantha?"

"Yes," she hissed as she felt the beginning tremors start to form, she was close, and all it would take would be for a few more touches on her clit even if she was started to crave for the man behind her to give her a more intimate touch by joining with her.

"Yes, what?" he asked feeling as if he would cum himself just by watching her. She was incredible; no other woman excited him like she did and now this memory would be seared in his mind forever.

"Yes, EJ I'm thinking of you," she kept her eyes tightly closed as it finally hit her fully and she arched even further against him as she panted, her breath coming in short spurts as she confessed something else to him too. "I always think of you when I do this."

"I knew it," EJ tugged the sleeves of his shirt away from her now slack form after she had finished completely taking it off her. "You my darling are absolutely magnificent. To see you like this, I can't begin to describe what it does to me."

Sami finally opened her eyes and ventured a look in EJ's direction not sure of what she would see in his eyes even if he had praised her continuously for her efforts. When she did she was rewarded with such a smoldering look of admiration that it encouraged her to find her voice. "If you can't describe it maybe you can show me instead. I mean I showed you, so it's your turn. Let me see what you do when you are all alone late at night and you think about me."

EJ gave her a slow smile as the realization dawned on him that she wanted him to return the favor, whether she realized it or not this woman was his soul mate. No doubt about it, she was the one for him and no one else.

"I'm waiting EJ," Sami's voice urged as she turned to face him, prompting him onward. "Off with your boxers now."

EJ's smile grew even bigger among other things as he did as she asked thinking they probably weren't going to get much sleep after all.
