Chapter 16

Monday Morning

Amanda woke up wrapped in Lee's arms. She could tell he was awake, but he wasn't saying anything. Amanda turned in his arms to face him. The only thing Lee could do was smile. "Good morning, Amanda."

"Good morning, Lee."

"You know, I could get used to this. Waking up with you in my arms. I don't think I've slept this well in a long time, and it has everything to do with you." Lee leaned down and placed a soft, sweet kiss on Amanda's lips.

"I know what you mean. It's so comfortable sleeping in your arms. It's like our bodies were made to fit together." Amanda kissed Lee. "We need to get moving, so we're not late. Are we meeting Billy and Jeannie for breakfast, or are we on our own?"

"We're on our own. We may run into them, but we don't have plans. Why don't you take a shower first? I'll go start some coffee," Lee suggested. They got out of bed and started their day.

About an hour later, they were ready to head down. They stopped at the breakfast shop in the lobby so Amanda could get some croissants for breakfast. They both got coffee and proceeded to the conference. When they arrived, Billy and Jeannie were already at their table. "Good morning! Ready to get this over with?" Lee declared with annoyance. He pulled out Amanda's chair, seated her, and then sat down himself. Not even ten minutes later, the lectures started.

The week started to blur together for the foursome. Same old story, different day. They spent the mornings in lectures and the afternoons walking through exhibits. They spent a few evenings in the lounge, visiting with agents from around the world, building a new network of contacts, and reacquainting themselves with old contacts. The only one that seemed to be enjoying themselves was Amanda. She took notes during every lecture. She even participated in some of the exhibits, much to Lee's dismay. Before they knew it, Friday had rolled around. Billy had meetings all day with other section chiefs, so Jeannie joined Lee and Amanda at the exhibits. Lee was actually enjoying himself because he got to show off some of his shooting expertise.

Later in the afternoon, they met up with Billy. He looked like he had been through the wringer. Lee called out his name to get his attention. "Billy, over here." Billy walked over to the group and gave Jeannie a soft kiss on the cheek. "Man, Billy, don't take this personally, but you look like hell."

"And I feel like it too, Scarecrow." Billy turned his attention to his wife. "Dear, if it's okay with you, I just want to get room service, take a long shower, and relax in our room tonight. I hope that's okay?"

"Of course. Let's head up there right now. Lee, Amanda, we'll talk later." Lee and Amanda nodded in agreement.

"Hope you feel better, Billy!" Amanda empathized.

Lee and Amanda walked into their room. "Well, what do you want to do tonight?" Amanda asked.

"Amanda, if it alright with you, room service sounds good. I would love to take a shower, maybe try out that steam room, and just relax here with you tonight. I'm kind of beat from this week."

"That sounds like a perfect evening. How about we try out that steam room first. Then we can shower." Lee gave Amanda a questioning grin. "Separately. We can eat and just relax after that."

"I'll get things warmed up and meet you in there."

Amanda changed into her swimsuit and grabbed some towels. When Amanda made it to the steam room, Lee was already there. Amanda sat down beside him. "Whew, this feels nice." Amanda looked at Lee and noticed that all he was wearing was a towel and a smile. She had to catch her breath before she continued. "I can't believe how much this week took out of me. I mean, it's not too tough to sit and listen to lectures. It's not too demanding."

"Amanda," Lee interrupted. "Can we please talk about something else other than the conference? I'm in a steam room with the most gorgeous woman in the world. I really don't feel like talking about work."

Amanda blushed and responded hoarsely. "Okay, sorry about that. Why don't you tell me what you have planned for tomorrow?"

"I've rented a car. I'm going to take you to a place that you won't find on any tourist map. I stumbled across it on a mission once, years ago. It's a secluded little lake with only fields to see for miles. I thought maybe we could pack a picnic and spend the day at the lake. Maybe take a swim." The whole time Lee was explaining his plans, he ran his hand up and down along her leg, but what he didn't know was the effect it was having on Amanda.

"That sounds," Amanda coughed to get her voice back, "wonderful, Lee. We can stop at that same store and pick up everything we need for the day."

They sat in a relaxed and peaceful state for the next fifteen minutes. Both of them touched each other in some way. Neither of them needed words to relay the love they felt for each other. Lee broke the silence first. "As nice as it is in here, I'm getting a little hungry. What do you say we order some room service, get cleaned up, and go from there?" Amanda nodded in agreement, got up, and grabbed the two dry towels that she hung outside the steam room door.

An hour later, dressed comfortably in sweatpants and sweatshirts, they finished their dinner. The conversation was light but comfortable. "How about we clean up here, then move this to the balcony with our wine glasses?" Lee suggested.

"That sounds wonderful. I'll go fill our glasses if you want to set the tray out in the hall," Amanda suggested. They worked together like they had been doing this for years, and soon they were cuddled up on the love seat, just reveling in the quiet of the night. The stars were so bright, even with all the lights of the city. Lee absently ran the tips of his fingers up and down Amanda's arm. This act was driving Amanda crazy. They sat for about another thirty minutes as Amanda filled Lee in with the boys' summer schedule. She found it hard to keep her concentration. Lee's feather-light touches drove her crazy, and she was about to fall over the edge. Suddenly, Amanda stood up, grabbed a pillow from the love seat, and stood in front of Lee. Lee looked curiously at her but didn't say a word. Amanda smiled and threw the pillow on the ground at her feet. She proceeded to kneel onto the pillow and leaned forward to wrap her arms around Lee's waist, each hand possessively attached to his ass. Lee looked down at Amanda with a raised eyebrow but couldn't stop her actions. Nor did he want to. With one quick pull, Amanda pulled Lee's hips toward her.

"Um, Amanda?" Lee tried to keep his voice calm.

"Yes, Lee." Amanda looked up to Lee with seduction in her eyes.

"May I ask what you're doing?"

"Exploring"

"Out here?" Lee questioned.

"Yes, Lee, right here."

Her hands traveled down his legs and then back up, where she stopped just before reaching her target. She looked at Lee and very lightly ran her hand over his pronounced erection. Lee let out a sigh. She reached for the waistband and pulled at his sweats, pulling them down along with his boxers. Lee raised his hips just enough to help her achieve her goal. Amanda leaned back to create enough space to push his sweats down to his ankles and out of the way. She trailed kisses up the inside of his thigh. She could see Lee's body react to her actions. Still looking directly at Lee, she took the tip of her tongue and very lightly flicked his engorged cap. Lee sucked in a breath but never broke eye contact. The desire could be seen on both of their faces.

Amanda moved to the base of his shaft and licked all the way back up to his tip. Without warning, she took all of him in her mouth with one swift motion. Lee couldn't control his actions. He leaned his head back and moaned at the sensation that Amanda caused. "Oh, Manda! That feels so good. Please don't stop!" Lee pleaded. He took his hands and ran his fingers through her hair and looked back down at her. He watched her take him in her mouth as she stroked him with her hand. Her other hand was on his ass, squeezing and bringing him deeper into her mouth. It took all Lee had not to thrust in rhythm with her. Amanda would glance every now and then to look at how she was affecting him. Her movements soon sped up, with both hands now encircling his shaft, stroking along with her mouth. She could feel Lee tense up, so she slowed her motions and started to tease him again with just the tip of her tongue. "Manda, you're driving me crazy. Please don't tease me." Lee begged. With that, their eyes met again, then Amanda drove her mouth to cover all of him. Lee sucked in a breath. Up and down, Amanda moved faster and faster, varying the pressure with each stroke. "Oh God, I'm not going to last much longer, Manda." Lee croaked. Amanda didn't stop or slow down but moved faster as her hand joined her mouth again. "Manda!" Lee screamed as he hit his climax. To his surprise, Amanda didn't move but eagerly drank him in. She slowly and softly continued to move up and down until Lee had emptied himself completely into her mouth. She gradually released him, leaned back to pull up his boxers and sweats. Again, Lee raised his hips slightly to help. He then grabbed Amanda's arms and guided her to his lap.

"Amanda, that was…...amazing. I can honestly say no one has ever done that…like this...before."

Amanda smiled. "You were driving me crazy with your fingers on my arm. I couldn't take it anymore."

Lee reached his hand to the back of her head and kissed her so that she knew exactly how he felt. His arm moved under her knees as he lifted her as he stood. He walked into the suite and headed for the bedroom.

It was now Amanda's turn to question. "Lee?" She didn't have to finish her question.

"It's my turn to explore," Lee smiled and wiggled his eyebrows.

Lee carried her to the bed and placed her down. He climbed in beside her and kissed her on the lips, his tongue not wasting any time. His kisses moved down her neck and stopped at the sensitive spot behind her ear. His hand ran up and down the side of her body until he grabbed her waist and pulled her close. Lee sat up slightly and gently removed her shirt. Pleasantly surprised that she wasn't wearing a bra, his kisses started at her collarbone and worked their way down until he was at the top of her breasts. His hands moved up her sides, just teasing each modest globe. His thumbs grazed over her nipples. Amanda moaned and arched her back in response. He moved and took her nipple in his mouth. "Lee!" was all Amanda could manage. Lee moved, so he was lying beside her, ran his hand down her abdomen, and slid his fingers into her waistline. His lips followed the path his hand just made down her body. He stroked her over her panties. The smooth feel of the satin enticed his need for more. He could feel Amanda suck in her breath. He slid his hand between her panties and skin. He reached her core and teased her the same way she teased him. He pulled back to look into Amanda's eyes. "Please, Lee. I need you to touch me." He sat up so that he could pull down her sweats. He trailed his fingers up and down each leg until he hooked a finger on each hip and pulled her panties down. He positioned himself between her legs and worked his way back up.

Kisses trailing everywhere but where Amanda wanted them to be. He sucked at her belly button and looked up to meet her eyes. Their eyes never faltered as Lee slipped a finger into her core. Amanda took another deep breath and moaned. Soon a second finger joined. Lee moved his fingers in and out of her while Amanda's hips moved to assist. She leaned her head back on the pillow. The next thing she felt was his tongue licking her core while his fingers still stroked her. His motions became faster. His left hand soon stroked her, his tongue licked her, and his right hand squeezed her breast.

Amanda could feel everything start to spasm in her body. She couldn't take all of the sensations that were happening to her body. She screamed as her body let go. "Lee!" Lee lightened his motions until he could feel Amanda's body start to relax. He removed his fingers, reached down, and grabbed her panties and sweats. He guided her legs through and pulled them back up her legs. He softly kissed his way back up her body, grabbing her shirt along the way. He guided the shirt back over her head, placed each arm through the sleeves, and gently placed her back down. He laid beside her and pulled her so that she was now next to him. Once Amanda was able to speak, she looked into Lee's eyes. "Lee that was…..WOW!" She still needed time to get her composure, so Lee talked. "I love you, Amanda. More than anything in this world." Lee moved their bodies so he could pull the covers over them. They snuggled with no words, and both drifted off to sleep.
