Ruby stared into his eyes, the breath leaving her body as she swallowed hard. The last time she'd actually had sex was when she conceived the twins, four very LONG years ago.
She and Jeff had done their fair share of fooling around though they were either interrupted by the twins, the triplet, or his CFS or her being tired. Something, anything came up and it drove them both mad. They'd even tried going off by themselves for a few hours, renting a room at the local motel, only to wind up fooling around for maybe ten minutes then falling asleep. She licked her suddenly dry lips, her hands resting on David's chest.
David seen her small, pink tongue snake out and that was it. He dipped his head down, pressing his lips to hers, feeling Ruby shiver against him and wrapped her up in his strong, muscular arms. He groaned softly, her lips feeling like silk and parted them with his tongue, smiling when she granted him full access and proceeded to search every crevice of her mouth.
Ruby melted against David, her arms going around his neck. She returned the kiss, groaning at the taste of him, her body lighting on fire instantly. Then reality crashed around her and she broke the kiss, slipping out of his grasp and moving around him. "You need to leave." She said breathlessly, raking a hand through her hair, trying to stifle the yearning she felt. "I'm with Jeff." Ruby walked over to the screen door and slipped outside, the warm night not providing any damn relief.
Groaning inwardly, David dropped his head forward, knowing he'd just made a mistake. A huge mistake. He didn't come here to do this. He came here to just see her, catch up with her. Then she had to lick her lips and look downright irresistible. Sighing heavily, he followed her out onto the porch and cleared his throat. "I know you're with Jeff, but I'm not sorry about what happened in there."
Ruby turned to stare up at him, averting her gaze to the porch, knowing if she met those brown eyes she was probably going to do something she'd seriously regret afterwards. "David, just please leave." She whispered, groaning softly and walked over to place her hands on the railing fencing in the porch. She wasn't sorry it happened either, the kiss had been incredible and that's part of what scared her.
"Have a good night Ruby." He murmured, heading down the steps, sighing with regret.
Ruby didn't sleep for shit that night, instead wound up taking three cold showers, tossing and turning in her bed. The next morning she was woken up to Uncle Mickey, there to take Gavin and Thatchery with him for the day to a carnival in a nearby town, something she'd completely forgotten about.
Once double trouble was gone, Ruby realized she had the house to herself for the first time in over a year and didn't know what the Hell to do with herself. Finally she changed into a blood red string bikini, grabbed the book she was currently working her way through and a portable radio. She went out to the backyard and set up shop in a lounge chair, playing music while she read, letting the sun's warm rays ease the tension from her body.
She was singing along softly to Rob Thomas' 'All That I Am', turning the page of her book when her sun disappeared. Frowning, she looked up, silver eyes widening when she seen David standing over her. The book slid from her hands as she took in his form fitting, tighter then Hell blue jeans and beater, her mouth going dry, all her cold showers suddenly for naught.
David smiled hesitantly down at her, sliding his black shades from his face. "Hey beautiful." He murmured, his voice deep and husky. He didn't hear the boys, hadn't seen anyone when he'd gone to the front door and knew she was probably home alone. Very perfect. Too perfect actually.
"Hey yourself." Ruby finally managed to get out, arching an eyebrow, still staring at him. She slowly stood up, going to step around him only to wind up almost falling back except he caught her, his hands on her waist. She grabbed David's forearms, looking down at the ground then back up at him. "Thanks."
David's brown eyes peered into her, he could feel her inflamed skin on his palms, trying not to think about that though. He slowly raised a hand to her face, trailing his knuckles down her cheek, seeing all the want and desire swirling through those silver orbs.
He didn't say a word, just scooped her up in his arms and carried her into the house, gently setting her on the couch once inside and dropping down beside her. "What are you thinking about Ruby?"
"I don't honestly know." She murmured, leaning back against the couch, closing her eyes and licking her lips. She wished she had thought to turn on the air conditioning because she could use a cool down at the moment. She could feel his hands on her hips, his kisses from last night still lingered on her lips.
"I bet I know what you're thinking." David stated simply, watching as her eyes flew open. He knew he should not be pursuing this, shouldn't have come here, she had two kids and was in a four year relationship with Jeff. But for the life of him, David couldn't. "You're thinking about that kiss."
"That is the last thing on my mind right now." Ruby lied flatly, moving to get up, groaning when he pulled her back down. She rubbed her upper thigh, finally glancing up at him. "All right, so I was…"
"You never could lie very well." He chuckled softly, running a hand down her bare arm, feeling goose bumps under his palm and knew he had her. If he wanted, David could take her right then and there, but he wasn't that type of person. He looked deep into Ruby's eyes, wanting to know what she was REALLY thinking, even though he had a fairly good idea. "Talk to me Rubes. You can trust me, you know that."
"Nothing David." Ruby pulled away from him, this time getting up with no problems. "I told you last night to leave. You shouldn't have came back." She said, not looking at him, hiding her now gray eyes before disappearing down the hallway and into her bedroom. She glanced at the bed, groaning. Bed, not good. "Get your mind out of the gutter Ruby." She scolded herself, gasping when she felt an arm slip around her waist.
"Why are you afraid of this happening?" David whispered softly in her ear, his grip not hard, knowing if she truly wanted too she could get out of this with no problem and toss his ass out. "Tell me Ruby, what're you afraid of?"
"I'm with JEFF!" Ruby exclaimed, spinning around to glare at him. "I shouldn't want you as much as I do! I shouldn't want you period!"
There, she'd admitted she wanted him, she wanted his desperately, her body was begging her to let him quench the fire he'd started the night before.
"Maybe it's not Jeff you're supposed to be with." He said simply, filling the gap between them. "Maybe I'M the one you're destined to be with." Before she had a chance to protest, his lips descended on hers, burning them once more. Groaning as the fire coursed throughout his body, David pulled her against him, the fire turning into a full-out inferno.
Ruby whimpered, melting against him and returned the kiss passionately. She gasped in David's mouth when he lifted her up, wrapping her legs around his waist, her arms going around his neck as he kissed a fiery trail down her throat. Arching her neck and moaning softly, she threaded her fingers through his hair.
Smiling gently, he guided her down onto the bed.
