Chapter 40 - Dressing for the State Dinner

Rose, Jack, Jake and Jackie walked into the sitting room. The Doctor sat on the sofa next to Genie who was carefully feeding Sam. He was keeping such a close eye on them both, that he didn't look up when the others came in the room.

"So, how did it go?" He asked them.

Jack laughed, "No problems at all. I feel so beautiful."

Jake rolled his eyes at him. "Ashena went with Mortimer and Lance. They said they will return later. She said she had something to do with Logan."

Rose felt his immediate annoyance. "Logan is going to the State Dinner with us then. Jake. You should join us."

Rose rolled her eyes at him. "Really? You're keeping them apart?"

"Until I can sort out what's going on, I am." He told her, still not taking his eyes off of Genie and Sam.

They walked over to the sofa. Rose put her hand on the Doctor's knee and knelt down in front of Genie and Sam. "Are you really feeding your little brother all on your own?"

The Doctor's eyes met her. He sat stunned. Genie smiled at Rose. Her hair was dyed brown with ginger highlights throughout. It framed her professionally done make-up beautifully.

"Mummy, you are so pretty." Genie said.

Rose smiled at her. "Thank you, sweetheart. You look lovely, too. Did Daddy braid your hair?"

She shook her head, "No, Licio did it. I tried to help Daddy meditate, but he couldn't stop telling me jokes."

Rose looked over at the Doctor and smiled. "You couldn't stop telling jokes?"

He continued to look stunned at her. Jack had been watching his reaction and laughed. "I told you he would love it, Rose. I think he's speechless."

Jackie laughed, "Well, that would be a first." She sat down next to Genie and embraced her and Sam together.

Rose rubbed his thigh. "Say something, or I'm going to think your brain has shorted out again and call Lewis back from his honeymoon."

He smiled, "No, it's working. I'm fine. You look amazing." He took her hand and kissed it. Rose smiled at him.

Jackie leaned over and kissed Genie on the top of the head. "Where has Pete gotten off to?"

The Doctor didn't take his eyes off of Rose. She sat down next to him, reached across his lap and tickled Sam's stomach. He spoke, "Pete and Tony are someplace. I'm not sure. They were together. Legate and Logan came back with Jacob and Summus. They said something about…. Going down to the Tank."

Jack laughed at him as he sat down in the chair next to the sofa. "Well, your brain is all scrambled. Need a minute to organize your thoughts?"

Rose looked at him and rubbed his thigh. Jack noticed how high on his thigh she had placed her hand. "Yeah, that's probably not going to help his situation there, Rose."

The Doctor rubbed his forehead. "Shut up, Jack."

Jack chuckled, "Hey. You are taking Jake to this State Dinner thing. Can I come?"

The Doctor was still looking at Rose. "What do you think, Rose?"

Rose smiled at him, "That's fine with me."

Genie protested, "No, Jack you said we were going to go swimming while they were gone. You're staying here with me."

Jack pointed at Genie. "I did agree to that, didn't I? Sorry, Doc'. I have a date with your daughter!"

Rose looked him in time to see him roll his eyes. "It would appear so."

Rose rubbed his thigh again and giggled. She spoke in his head. 'I can feel that.'

He chuckled, 'He has to use that term. Date. He's just winding me up.'

'Isn't that what he does?'

'It's his purpose in life.' He smiled.

Rose laughed.

Jake sat on the arm of the sofa. "So, State Dinner. A suit, then?"

Jack nodded, "Right. No tux. I know how you are about that, Doc'.

Jake nodded, "I don't even own a tux. I'll pop over to our flat and get dressed. Come on, Jack. I need a fashion consultant."

Rose watched Jack and Jake leave. She turned to look back at Genie and Sam and met the Doctor's gaze again. "Are you still looking at me?"

He smiled like a loon. "I'm sorry. I can't help it. I'm trying to look away."

Jackie rolled her eyes. "Ugh. You lot have it bad. Genie. Your Daddy is so sweet, he is giving a cavity. You lot probably need to go. Rose has her barnet done you have a bit of bird and lime."

The Doctor looked confused back at Jackie. "What?"

Rose rubbed his thigh and laughed silently, "She's telling us that we have time to get ready. My hair and make-up are ready."

"Oh. Strange language." He mumbled as he stood up. "Genie, help Grand with Sam for me. Alright?"

Genie smiled up at him. "Yes, Daddy."

Rose and the Doctor walked into their bedroom. Rose pointed at him as soon as he closed the door. "Do not get any ideas. I don't want you to make me untidy for the State Dinner."

He put his hands in his pockets and nodded. "Alright. Can't make you untidy. What is off limits?"

Rose smiled at him. "My hair. My face."

He walked to her and put his hands around her waist. "Okay. Can't touch your hair or your face."

She sighed, "I can feel that."

He smiled at her as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Feel what?"

"Your emotions. You are trying to shield them."

"Nah, just halfway. I'm sure I'd overwhelm you again with the things that I'm thinking at this moment."

Rose laughed as she felt his hands on her bum. "You are looking at me like a piece of meat."

"Steak. A juicy steak. Oh, wow. Can I kiss you? Will that mess up your make-up?"

"I know what kissing usually leads to with you."

He smiled, "Am I that bad?"

Rose smiled at him. "It's not bad. You know I love it."

He raised both of her hands to his mouth and kissed them.

Rose asked him, "Wasn't there something you needed to tell me?"

He looked away and thought as Rose felt his excitement. "Let that wait until we get back tonight. It's involved. Would that be alright?"

"Am I going to be cross about this?" Rose asked him.

He smiled and shook his head. "No. I really don't think so. What time are we supposed to be there?"

"It starts at 8:00. She wanted us in the residence a bit before, so we could walk in with her."

He nodded his head. "Okay. Then we have just enough time to get dressed. Can I help you?"

Rose teased him. "You can help me get undressed."

He smiled like a loon. "Oh! Lucky me!"

Rose laughed as he held her hand and they went into the large closet. He bit his lip as he looked at her. He unbuttoned her dress and slid it off of her shoulders. It fell to the floor. He looked in her eyes. "No hair, and no face."

She smiled, "That's right."

He pointed at her chest. "This is alright?"

She giggled, "That part is alright."

He bit his lip and nodded. He leaned down and kissed her chest. Rose whispered to him. "I need to put on different knickers with my dress."

He groaned. "Oh, the Universe loves me in this moment."

He took off her bra and kissed her breasts. He rubbed between her legs, through her knickers. He could feel it get warmer and wet. He bit his lip as he looked back at her face. "There's something I really want here. May I have it?"

Rose knew what was on his mind. "It's not my hair, nor my make-up. So, it's not off limits."

He teased her. "Luckily for me, I removed all of the hair there this morning."

She smiled, "I love that you will do that for me."

He led her over to a bench in the closet. She sat down as he knelt in the floor in front of her. He kissed her hand that he still held. "Lay back. But, be careful to hang your hair off the edge."

Rose lay down and she felt him take off her knickers. "I forget I'm dealing with a professional here."

He kissed her thigh as he teased between her legs with his fingertips. He lifted her legs and positioned them on his shoulders. He licked her opening between her legs. All of the teasing he had done had already caused her to get very wet. She moaned as she wrapped her legs around his shoulders.

Her eyes rolled back in her head as she felt his warm breath between her legs. He kissed her thigh, moving his head back to her opening. Once he got there, he gently took some of her sensitive area in his teeth and nibbled her gently. He kissed her and then licked the opening before breathing his hot breath on her and began to kiss her other thigh again.

She was already panting, "You are driving me mad with all of this teasing."

He smiled as he licked her. "I can tell." He returned to kissing her thighs and teasing the outside of her opening.

He kissed up to her stomach, biting her gently.

She arched her back, "I need you. Please." She panted.

He blew on her stomach and back down between her legs. He nibbled at each one of her outside flaps, then spread them apart. He dove his tongue inside of her and then sucked her opening. She began to moan and pant heavier. He continued to work her area for several minutes, using his fingers to penetrate her some more. She held onto the edges of the bench.

'Go on. Shout, Rose. I can feel that you want to.' He teased her in her head.

She cried out.

He kissed her thigh, then her stomach. He rubbed his hands up and down her chest as she caught her breath. She looked up at him in time to see a smile spread across his face. "I've been craving that all day. Thank you. What sort of knickers do you need to wear with this dress of yours?"

He stood up, turned around and opened her drawer. Rose lay on the bench in a daze. "Hang on. You aren't finished."

He turned around and looked confused at her. "What am I missing?"

Rose stood up and walked over to him. She looked down and picked up a pair of knickers. "What about you?"

He smiled, "It's not always about me. Besides, I got what I wanted."

She blushed and held her hand up to her face. "That hardly seems fair. You …."

He smiled at her. "Me? Me, what?"

Rose wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered, "You need yours."

He chuckled at her as he put his hands on her waist. "You can give me mine later. Sometimes, it's all about you."

He could feel her lust. He growled at her. "Yes. That's exactly what I wanted to do to you. See, we will have a great time when we get home tonight. I have a great new game we can play. Besides, we have something to celebrate. Rose, you are all mine!"

Rose bit her lip as she looked up at him. "I want to snog you so badly right now."

He smiled like a loon at her. "I know you do. You'll muck up your make-up. You are so beautiful." He took both of her hands and kissed them again. "I'm going to enjoy making you untiny tonight. Oh, the things I'm going to do to you."

She smiled at him. "I love you. I can't wait. Go get dressed you nutter."

Rose walked out of the closet as she put on her earrings. She wore a sleeveless, blue dress. The cut up the side of it showed off her legs that had been shaped by all of the running she enjoyed.

The Doctor sat on the side of the bed, chatting with someone on the phone in a language thought she had heard before. He was already dressed in a navy pinstriped, three piece suit. He rubbed his beard as he spoke on the phone.

Rose walked over to him and he took her hand in his. He raised it to his lips and kissed it quietly as he listened to the person on the other end of the call.

He said something and then laughed. Then he ended the phone call. He stood up and looked at her. "I'm sorry about that. He's been trying to find me for a few days. Someone finally gave him my number. Wow. You look amazing."

Rose smiled, "Who was that?"

He offered her his arm. "Ah. A work thing. Prime Minister Somebody. Boring stuff, Rose. I'll fill you in later about it. We have a dinner to get to!"

They walked to the lift. Rose held his arm. "I want to say the hell with all of this. Just stay here and let you make me completely untidy."

He smiled at her like a loon. "How would we explain that to Harriet?"

Rose brought his hand up to her lips. Instead of kissing it, like he thought she was about to do, she put his index finger in her mouth and sucked it. The look on his face was comical. Rose felt his surprise. She laughed at him. "I'm sure you could think of something."

"Err….." He said.

The lift door opened. Tony, Jacob and Genie jumped out and scared them.

Both the Doctor and Rose jumped and then laughed. The Doctor spread his arms out wide and backed them back into the lift. "And now you have to deal with the John Monster! Blah….."

They playfully shouted as they all got back into the small lift together. Rose rolled her eyes at them as she pressed the button for them to go down.
