Part Thirty-Five: A One-Man Woman
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the thoughts in my head. And in this case someone else planted them there!
Author's Note: Wow thank you so much to everyone who reviewed! Sorry I have had no time to reply to any of you, life has been a tiny bit manic so I'm scribbling this in the hour or so I have free (well, I should be doing housework but never mind). Credit for this idea goes to Shadowcat012 who gave me a very lovely prompt that made me go "ooooh eeeek" etc. Hope you like it! This is a younger Doctor situation. Enjoy…
The Doctor gazed through the bars at the sleeping woman who lay on the other side of them and grinned to himself. He'd managed to take the brakes off, arrive silently, sneak right up to her cell and she still hadn't woken up- all he had to do was sonic the door open quietly and he would finally be able to surprise her! As he pushed the door open gently his hearts beat a little quicker and River turned slightly in her sleep but didn't wake. He breathed a sigh of relief as he shut the door behind him and then paused, suddenly unsure. He always had these brilliant ideas of creeping in and surprising her but she always spotted him so early that, finally getting to the stage where he was able to do just that, he found himself completely unsure of what to do next. And why on earth was she asleep at, he glanced down at his watch, five in the afternoon?
Swallowing hard and deciding to act braver than he felt her crept up to the bed where she lay. He gazed down at her for a moment and took in just how beautiful she was before he lowered himself down beside her and placed his arms around her, pulling himself close to her. He felt his pulse begin to race as her eyelids fluttered gently as he stroked her side.
"Back so soon sweetie? I won't be able to walk tomorrow you know." She laughed sleepily as she opened her eyes fully. The Doctor looked at her in confusion. "Oh you've changed." River smiled as she adjusted his bowtie gently and then ran her hand up to his face. Her eyes flickered over his, taking in his lack of understanding, as her brow knitted slightly. "What's wrong you look like we've not… Oh. You've changed haven't you?" River gasped, mentally hitting herself for being so stupid. "Sorry. Hello sweetie." She grinned with an attempt at her usual voice.
"What's going on River? Have we just been somewhere?" He asked and she turned her head away in embarrassment at having let anything slip. As she did her saw an array of red marks down her neck. "Oh. Have we just…?" His eyes widened as he jumped backwards, almost falling off the bed in the process.
"Yes." River said as she bit her lip.
"Right." The Doctor said as he tried to regain his composure. "Did we urm… have a good time?" He asked, trying not to let his jealousy show in his voice.
"Oh I did." She murmured as she kissed him slowly, twisting her hands in his hair. "And you will." She smiled as they pulled apart.
"But I haven't yet." He pouted, knowing how childish he sounded but unable to hold back the resentment. He wanted what she had and he didn't want to have to wait. He sighed waiting for her usual reply of "spoilers" but it never came. Instead he looked back at her and saw a very mischievous grin slide across her face.
"Maybe you can now though." She whispered as her hands began to trail up and down his back, making him shudder against her.
"I'm not him, you know." He said quietly into her ear.
"But you are you." She smiled softly, drawing light circles around his hearts.
"But I mean I haven't done those things he's done with you… done to you." A small smile crossed his face as he thought of his future.
"We can always change that." She murmured seductively.
"Isn't that against the rules?" He replied with a raised eye brow as he took full advantage of her closeness to slip his hands under her top and began to explore the soft skin he found there.
"Well I did wonder where you learnt all the things you just did to me. And maybe I need to be the one who teaches you." She grinned broadly as she pulled him down so that she was straddling him, her hands on his chest pushing him into the bed. "What do you say?"
"I think you'd be a very good teacher." He gasped as he smiled up at her.
"Oh I am." She smiled wickedly. "But we may need somewhere a bit more private for our lesson because unless I'm very much mistaken we're going to have company very soon." She turned her head slightly towards the sound of the footsteps growing ever closer. "And I'm definitely a one-man kind of woman."
"Well then I think we best say our farewells Doctor Song." She looked at him in confusion for a second before he sat up and, with strength she didn't know his slim body could posses, threw her over his shoulder in one fluid motion and began to run to the TARDIS. River shrieked with delight.
"Goodbye boys!" She called across to the guards who were just appearing round the corner. "Don't wait up!"
