Chapter 21 - Escape

John pulled up to the house. He went inside and grabbed a beer. About 5 minutes later, Britt arrived.

"I hope you like Chinese." She said carrying a bunch of bags.

He helped her with them and they went into the dining room. She dished out some food and got comfy.

"Where's Liam?"

"He's with Viki again."

"Well, that's pretty convenient for you that she's staying in town."

"Yes, I think she feels like she's still a little close to Natalie that way."

Britt nodded. "It must be really hard for her."

John nodded. "So, what have you been up to?"

"Oh, just working. "

"What made you want to be a obgyn?"

"I was fascinated with genetics and stem cell research. Then I figured out that maybe I was more suited to be on the other side of that and I just fell into it."

John took a swig of his beer.

"What made you want to be a cop?"

"My dad was a cop. It went from there."

"I see."

They cleaned up and went into the living room.

"Is it weird for you staying in this house?"

John got quiet. "A little bit. But, I miss her so I feel like she's still with me." He said tearing up.

Britt leaned over and wiped the tear.

"I'm kind of embarrassed now."

"Don't be." She said lying on his chest.

He put his arm around her as she held him. It was all John could do to pretend he liked it.

She pulled back and touched his face. John closed his eyes and thought about Liz. She pulled his head down closer and kissed him lightly on the lips. He opened his eyes and looked at her and then John kissed her so hard it took Britt's breath away.

"Ughhhh….." Dante groaned.

"It feels so dirty." Anna said shaking like she had the chills.

"He's going to need some serious Listerine; maybe Hazmat."

They giggled.

John pulled back and jumped up from the couch.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."

Britt was so flustered she couldn't even speak.

John went into the bathroom and shut the door. His phone was vibrating.

"Dude, are you alright?" Dante texted.

"No man…. I better get a raise for this."

Anna read the text and laughed. "Tell him that he'll get a raise when she goes down."

John read the text and almost gagged. "Please don't mention going down…don't let Anna read that."

Dante busted out laughing as Anna tried to grab his phone to see what John wrote. He finally jumped up and ran out the room.

John went back into the living room.

"I'm sorry…."

"No, no, it's my fault. I shouldn't have put you in that position."

He sat back next to her.

"It's okay."

His phone rang.

"Hello… I'll be right there."

He jumped up from the couch.

"I'm sorry, I have to go. I have to identity a perp."

He ran to the door. "Stay here, I should be right back."

She smiled. "Okay."

Britt watched him close the door and she jumped up and cheered. She really thought she had John where she wanted him.

She looked around the house. There was a picture of Elizabeth and the boys on the hutch.

"I hope you're watching this Elizabeth. I told you that I'd take care of John for you. I'm sure once he has me bed, you'll be a distant memory."

Anna wanted to smack her through the screen.

John walked in the room. "Anything eventful?"

"Nope…..wait…."

"She's going to the door."

John went pale. "Shit, I forgot Viki was bringing Liam over."

John ran back out of the room.

Viki was putting her key in when the door opened.

"Oh…hello." She said confused.

"Hi, Liam. You must be Viki."

Viki walked inside.

"I'm Britt."

Viki faked a smile. "Where's John?"

"He had to run to the station, he'll be right back."

Viki went over to the couch and sat down. "You don't mind if I wait for him, do you?"

"No, make yourself comfortable."

Viki handed Liam a toy.

"John told me that you were helping out with Liam. I'm really sorry about your daughter."

Viki wanted to smack her.

"Thank you. You know, John has never mentioned you before. Do you work with him?"

Britt smiled. "No, I'm just a good friend. I'm a doctor over at General Hospital."

"Oh, I see."

John came running into the house.

"I'm back."

They both turned and looked at him.

"Viki, I'm sorry. I forgot."

He went over to her and picked up Liam.

Britt smiled. "He's so cute."

John smiled.

"Well, I don't want to overstay my welcome. John, thanks for dinner." Britt said walking over to him. She kissed him on the cheek and left.

John turned to Viki.

"I'm so sorry. I'm such a schmuck."

"It's okay John. I was fine. Are you any closer in getting some evidence?"

John sighed. "I don't know. I hope so. This is the worst assignment ever." He said looking up at the cameras.

"Do you think it's a problem that she knows that I'm here?"

"No. It's okay. I don't think she suspects anything."

John lifted Liam in the air which caused him to giggle loudly.

"How's Liz?"

Viki smiled. "She's good."

"I can't wait until this is over."

John played with Liam for a while and then Viki left with Liam.

John called Anna. "Hey"

"Hello. Did you wash your mouth out with bleach?"

John chuckled. "Pretty much, anything new?"

"The forensics haven't come back yet. We're trying."

John sighed. "I miss my girl Anna."

"I had an idea about that. A car should be pulling up any minute, get in."

Anna hung up.

John peeked out the window, a few minutes later a black car pulled up. He locked up the house and got inside. The driver said nothing. They drove for about a half hour.

"Get out. Go inside."

John opened the door. He got out and stood there as the car took off. He walked down the long driveway and up to the front door. He knocked but no one answered so he tried the knob. He turned it and let himself in. He locked the door behind him. He checked around and finally came to a door that was closed. He opened it and there were candles everywhere. He smiled and walked inside.

Liz was lying on the bed in a little negligee.

"Hi" He said grinning.

Liz gave him a smoldering look. "Are you just going to stand there?"

John walked across the room towards her. He took off his shirt and dropped it on the floor. He stepped out of his shoes. But, he never lost eye contact with her. He climbed onto the bed next to her.

"You look beautiful."

He kissed her slowly. He pulled back to look at her for a minute. "I can't believe you're here."

She started kissing him as he ran his hands down her body making her skin tingle. He pulled her into him as he ravished her lips and mouth with his tongue. Liz moaned as John kissed her neck and nibbled on her ear. He sensuously kissed her body as he removed her negligee and explored what was underneath. He caressed her skin and sucked and kissed her until she was shuddering beneath his hands. He made love to her slowly and purposefully, until they both lay quivering in each other's arms.

"God I missed you."

She signed. "I really miss you too."

He tried to memorize every part of her face and body knowing they had to part in the morning.

"I think Jessica hates me."

John chuckled. "Don't worry about her. You'll be out of there soon."

Liz nodded. "It feels so good to be in your arms.

"I know. "

"So, how was your date with Britt?"

"Let's just say I'm going to probably need psychotherapy after this."

She giggled then grabbed his face and kissed him hard. She flitted her tongue around his mouth and sucked on his tongue and lips. "Did that help?"

John grinned. "I think that may have done the trick."

She felt his erection and smiled. "That did do the trick."

She got up and went towards the bathroom.

"Where are you going?"

She bent over and turned on the shower and as she stood back up, she felt him behind her.

He pushed her up against the wall face first. He grinded into her and moved his hands around the front of her body. He felt her moan as he explored her with his fingers and kissed her neck.

The bathroom was beginning to steam up. John grabbed her and spun her around. He picked her up and she tightened her legs around his hips. He attacked her lips and kissed her deeply and sensuously.

He spun them around and he found the counter. He slid things aside and put her down as he sucked her nipples and touched her clit making her moan loudly. He pulled her hips forward and started to thrust into her as she cried out. He pounded her harder and harder until she yelled his name and then he pulled her into him and lifted her up. He moved them into the shower. He kissed her deeply as the water ran down their bodies and then he pressed her into the wall as he continued to move inside her. He finally felt her body shudder and he continued to relentlessly move back and forth until he started to feel her quiver and moan and he felt the release run through his body. He kissed her gently and then put her back down and they held each other under the water.

"I love you." He said softly.

"I love you too."

They finished showering and then they dried each other off. He took her hand and they went back to the bed and cuddled. Liz fell asleep first. He listened to her shallow breathing become deeper. He was going to hate the morning. He didn't want their night together to end.
