AN: So truthfully, I don't love how they're writing Sullivan responding to Andy's leadership or not giving us a proper "Welcome Home" scene so this was my solution to (4X7 & where I think 4X8 is going). I also have a strange feeling there may be other missing scenes of them at home that we should get but probably won't or necessary do-overs... Anyhow, thanks in advance for being here. I write what I want to read. I'm always grateful when people go on the journey with me. Unbeta'd, you've been warned. Also, for anyone waiting on an update to Worth the Wait, thanks for your patience. I'm hoping to have it done soon! Part Four is long and I've likely decided to write a sequel. XO!
Robert headed home after shift leaving Andy behind at the station. She had covered the rest of the shift for Maya and wanted to make sure all the reports were just right. After insisting she wouldn't be too far behind him she pushed him out the door so she could finish her work. Andy also knew that despite how exhausted she was, Robert was worse off. The whole experience after running into a burning house, rescuing those girls, being held at gunpoint and spending the night in jail had to be catching up with him.
Despite feeling the weight of the last couple days, Robert left the station grinning ear to ear. The sun was shining and the frustrating, but necessary separation from his wife was finally over. She was coming home. Being away from Andy had been hard. Seeing her everyday on shift and not going home to her, had been harder. It was crazy to think just how much life had changed for him over the past year. He couldn't have imagined it all if he tried, but he was grateful. He was in love and building a life with an amazing woman and he still had his career. Not exactly, the one he wanted, but it was something. Taking orders from Maya and pretty much anyone else at 19, was tough. After all his years of experience, he hated being the low man on the chain, but he also knew it could be worse. He shook his head a bit and headed into Andy's favorite bagel place. Knowing the contents in the fridge was limited, he picked up breakfast.
A couple hours later, Andy let herself into their apartment and breathed in the familiar scent of the place she now considered home. She'd bounced around a bit after moving out of her childhood home and it wasn't until she moved in with Robert that she felt truly at home again. Slowly but surely more of her things had made their way onto walls and shelves, but the most important thing was him. Robert felt like home. He was strong, but not overbearing and it was just what she needed to drop her armor and lean into the safety of his arms. As soon as she entered, she noticed him asleep on the couch. Slipping off her jacket and shoes, she curled up on the couch next to him.
Feeling the movement of the couch and warmth of his wife, Robert stirred. He pulled her snuggly into his side as they greeted each other. "Hi," he said with a sleepy smile. He'd fallen asleep waiting for her to get home.
"Hi," Andy whispered back with a content smile.
They enjoyed a few moments of comfortable silence before Robert spoke. "Are you hungry? I picked up bagels from that place you like."
"Thank you," Andy replied with a hand on her stomach. She actually was hungry, but that wasn't nearly as important as this moment. "I am, but don't want to move. I've missed you."
Robert brushed the top of her head with a kiss as he held her close. "I've missed you too."
As Andy sat next to her husband after weeks of being apart, she couldn't help but think about how right it felt just to be back together. She had been both vulnerable and strong with him yesterday when she said she felt "brittle". Life had been hard for a while, so many losses that rolled into the pandemic. It was a lot to take and there were definitely times she thought she might break from the pressure of it all. But here, now in the moment, she felt hopeful and safe. It seemed like finally something was going right.
"How is it that just being with you, like this, right now makes it feel like everything is right in the world?" She sounded sappy and seriously in love, but she didn't even care.
"I don't know… but it does," Robert replied as he rubbed a hand up and down her arm. He wasn't unaware of all the issues still in front of them, but in this moment he felt content. Like someone hit the release valve on a pressure cooker and he could breathe again. Despite how much he hated being a "probie" again and how much he missed calling the shots, he could at least admit he didn't miss the paperwork of the battalion chief and was connecting with the team in a way that he hadn't before. He also knew himself and knew he would do whatever it took to get back to the top. He was determined that way. And after running into the fire to save the girls and spending a night in jail with Miller, whatever issues they'd had fell by the wayside. His biggest adjustment still to make was following Maya's orders. It's not that he didn't trust her, he had promoted her after all, but sometimes his experience made him see things faster or differently. Holding back his opinions was a struggle at times. The longer they sat in silence, the more his mind drifted off a bit to how quickly and without even thinking really, he responded to that officer after Andy was pushed to the ground. He knew better, he'd had many run ins with police - especially in Montana. But seeing his wife on the ground, his reflexes took over. He would get over the incident, let it go, even though he shouldn't have to, but he worried about his wife. He couldn't help replaying the sound of her begging him to comply. He knew Andy was as strong as they came, but she was already vulnerable. Not operating at full strength. He was concerned about her.
Andys' voice pierced the silence. "I run into fires for a living, but I've never felt as terrified as I did…" Andy's words trailed off. The situation with the girls, the fire and Seattle PD had been beyond chaotic, but her world stopped when she saw guns pointed at her husband and him eventually tucked into a patrol car. She remembered the flood of fear that threatened to overtake her and the cement like block of emotion that felt like it was sitting on her chest as she watched him be taken away. She didn't know what it would take for her to process through that. She was doing her best to shield Robert not wanting to make something that happened to him about her.
Robert could sense, even now, just how afraid she was. The emotion of it all rolling off her in waves. She was strong and she would support him. Be there for him, ask how he was, support him, but it wasn't just traumatic for him and he knew it. He held his wife tighter. "I'm know. I'm okay. Exhausted, but okay."
With her head nestled snuggly on his shoulder, Andy looked up with concerned eyes to find Robert's gaze. "Do you want to talk about it?"
"Maybe later… right now, I want to crawl into bed and fall asleep with my wife," Robert said matter of factly.
"That is the best offer, I've had all day." Andy leaned in and they shared a soft kiss before making their way upstairs.
Normally, a bit of a neat freak, Robert stripped down to his boxer briefs and dropped his clothes in a nearby chair. He crawled into bed and watched Andy pull a short black slip over her gorgeous body. She had only taken the bare minimum during the separation so most of her things were where she left them. When she finally made it to bed, he pulled her into his chest and kissed her forehead. Andy let out a deep sigh and her arm laid loosely across Robert's midsection. Together, they laid in the dim room. Not asleep but just enjoying the moment.
"You were amazing today. I was very proud of you." Robert said with a small smile.
"Thank you. That means a lot." Andy was a badass. She knew that. There was no question about it, but she was also grateful for her husband's support especially when she knew it had been such a hard day for him. Not just the girls, getting arrested and ultimately guns drawn on him, but also the fact that a new battalion chief had come in to do the inspection he was supposed to do. She knew it was a blow even if he didn't quite say it that way.
"I'm sure your dad was too." Robert added in a soft tone.
"You think so?" Andy perked up a bit as she spoke.
Robert looked down and held Andy's gaze. He wanted her to know what he saw. In every way she acted as the Captain of 19 should have. Ensuring the operational and visual standards of the station were exceeded, inspecting uniforms, rallying the troops in front of Battalion Chief Gregory and refocusing the team when they needed it most. It was days like today he couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret at not promoting her when she so clearly deserved it. Andy knew it was her dad who intervened, for the 2nd time - this time out of concern for his pending death, but Robert knew there was still a part of her that struggled with that knowledge and he did too. Andy had reassured him more than once, that she understood her dad used his love for her and she wasn't holding it against him, but sometimes he still wondered.
"Andy, you were assertive, empathetic, the station looked perfect and you had Maya's back. I know he was proud." Robert's voice was lovingly but firm. He didn't want her to have any doubts.
Andy broke their eye contact and laid her head back on Robert's chest. "I was really proud of 19 today. The way we showed up for one another… It was a good ending to a pretty awful 24 hours." Andy said remembering all that her team had been through.
"It wasn't all bad…I happen to recall us having a very good time in my old office." Robert grinned a little remembering their steamy escapade and kissed her temple.
Andy smiled softly, barely keeping her eyes open. "Can't argue with you there."
Robert heard the yawn in his wife's voice. "Go to sleep…"
Andy knew her husband was equally as exhausted as she was, if not more so. She also knew he wanted to take care of her. "You first…" she said.
Robert chuckled a little, leaned into his wife and it wasn't long before the happy couple had drifted off into a restful slumber.
It was mid afternoon when they woke several hours later. Andy first which gave her a chance to look at her husband, really look at him. He was so peaceful and relaxed. Knowing that after everything the last 48 hours held, he could sleep was something to be grateful for. She couldn't help but admit that just taking in the sight of him, naked from the waist up, one arm haphazardly resting above his head, legs tangled in the dark bed sheets, left her a little breathless. He was gorgeous, he was hers and most important he was safe. She glanced at the clock briefly and knew they should get up soon if they didn't want their sleep schedules to be totally thrown off ahead of their next shift, but she didn't quite have it in her to leave the bed after spending so many weeks apart. She caressed Robert's face gently, closed her eyes and settled back in.
"How'd you sleep?" Robert asked with a scratchy tone and sleep still in his voice.
"Better than I have in weeks. I think you've ruined me" Andy looked up and found her husband's eyes.
"How so?" Robert asked.
Andy chuckled and feigned annoyance. "I just sleep so much better with you than without you."
"Well, lucky for you, you're stuck with me…" Robert said as he leaned in for a kiss.
It wasn't long before their soft kisses turned into a fiery heated exchange. The energy of the room charged quickly. They'd had a hot, satisfying lovemaking session at the station, but nothing about the location was ideal and they were up against a bit of a clock. Now they were home, in their own bed, with nothing to focus on but each other. They each shed their few scraps of clothes quickly.
Hovering over his wife, Robert's long muscular body fit perfectly against Andy's feminine curves. He pressed one leg between her and she opened up to him like a flower in bloom. His hand massaging her hip and thigh oh so gently. Andy sighed in pleasure, her hands coasted over his smooth skin and she reveled in the feel of his weight on her. With each pass of his tongue, Robert took their kiss deeper and deeper. Andy moaned in sweet relief as the stress of weeks apart uncoiled deep within her belly. He wanted to savor every part of her. Cherish her. "I missed you so much," Robert breathed as he trailed kisses from her jaw to her neck and back to her lips. He was worshipping her. Using his body to show her just how much she meant to him. The safety and comfort she felt in his arms, the intimate nature of his touch and the sound of his voice caused emotion to felt well up in the back of her throat. Andy cupped Robert's cheeks with both hands and matched him kiss for kiss. She squeezed her eyes tight in hopes of pulling back the tears, but she knew her efforts were futile when she felt them slide down her temple.
"Hey..." Robert whispered softly as he caught Andy's gaze. His body still covered hers, he was leaning onto his forearms above her and his thumbs instinctively ran down her face to wipe the falling tears. Her eyes were lined with emotion and her hold on him was tight.
"I'm okay," Andy breathed. She cursed the tears. Not that she minded shedding a few tears in front of her husband, she had come to terms with showing more of her feelings, but because she just wanted to be in the moment. Enjoy just how damn good being together felt and not thinking about what almost happened or all their time apart.
"Mi Amor..." Robert whispered with love and concern in his eyes. "Talk to me."
"I just..." Andy closed her eyes, took a breath and opened them again. "I just love you so damn much," she said. "I would be devastated if anything happened to you." The tears had stopped now and she just held Robert's gaze.
Robert sighed long and deep. She'd had so many losses and so much pain. His heart ached a little at her admission. At the thought of just how truly terrified she must have felt. He'd heard her yesterday when she said she felt like a strong wind could break her. He was determined to make sure she knew, she could always count on him to hold her up. His lips rested gently against hers and he murmured in the softest tone, "I'm okay. I'm not going anywhere." He pulled back to scan Andy's face and as they made eye contact he smiled and said, "And I'm crazy in love with you too."
Andy offered him a watery smiled and leaned up to capture Robert's lips, kissing him long and slow. She ran a lazy hand up and down his back, over his butt and melted into him. Robert rained kisses on her eyelids, nose and cheeks driving her crazy with anticipation. Andy was completely taken by the softness of his touch and sweetness of his kiss. Slender fingers rested atop her perfectly formed breast, he worried a nipple and sent shocks of pleasure ripping through her body. Andy's leg hitched up over Robert's hip pulling his growing erection to her center. Weeks of separation made the flames of desire burn hot and fast. She cradled Robert against her, opening up to him, her strong legs inching higher and higher. The need to feel him, have him inside her, experience his fullness overtook her and moving one hand to stroke his length she guided him towards her center. Responding urgently to her touch, Robert pulled back slightly and plunged forward through her wetness. An involuntary moan cascaded from his lips as her warmth enveloped him. "God, you feel good..." he breathed.
Robert set a glacial pace and Andy bit her lower lip in satisfaction. It was slow. Gentle. Unhurried. Not rushed. They were re-learning each other. Returning back to the places they loved and finding new ones to explore. Her body was liquid fire, with every thrust, every touch and every kiss she burned hotter. She was overcome with the sensations being stirred up in her body. Robert was captivated. Unable to take his eyes off of his wife. Her eyelids drooped, a light sheen on her flushed skin and soft cries of pleasure poured from her as their bodies met. He shuddered in pleasure as Andy clenched her most intimate muscles around him. He felt the pressure building and his release nearing. Her back bowed involuntarily, her pelvis arched upward and she felt her body contract. The inevitable, toe curling build up causing the tiniest of involuntary contractions. They made eye contact, she stared deeply into Robert's chocolate orbs knowing he'd felt it too. Lowering his head, pressing into the crook of her neck, he sucked right at her pulse point knowing it was often her undoing. Gaining momentum he pushed harder, faster, deeper cheered on by her rapid breathing and sensual moans. She inched her legs further up around his waist, opening herself even more, while her hands took up residence on his ass. Gripping gently, Andy urged him for more. Every muscle in her body pulsed. "Robert..." She said breathlessly. And when she couldn't hold back any longer, she let go, waves of pleasure shattering her. Robert rocked his pelvis forward two more times and followed her into bliss. His body convulsing as he released.
"Welcome home." he said smugly leaving a wet, open mouth kiss on his wife's lips before rolling onto his back. They were both panting lightly as their heartbeats slowed and they came down from their intense orgasms. It was a little quite ridiculous how addicted to each other they had become, but it felt so damn good to be together. Silence hovered over them as their bodies came down from their orgasmic high. Eventually Andy turned to her side, threw a leg over Robert's lower body and placed a chaste kiss on his chest as she snuggled into him.
A short while later, Robert asked as they held one another. "What are you thinking about?"
"Maya…" Andy replied slowly.
"After what we just did you're thinking about Maya?" Robert asked a bit incredulously.
She nudged him a little. "You didn't let me finish…" Andy eyed her husband and continued. "She's taking bereavement for the week and has asked me to step in as acting captain." She smiled brightly, excited to share the news.
"Congratulations. You're going to do great." Robert said as he leaned in for a congratulatory kiss. He did his best to show his excitement despite the weird feeling he felt in his stomach at the news.
"Why do you sound less than excited?" Andy asked quietly. She knew Robert and despite what he was saying she felt like there was something else there.
"I'm happy for you." Robert replied quickly.
"But…" He was saying all the right things, but Andy couldn't shake the feeling that something else was going on. This time she didn't look away.
"No buts. I am very happy for you. You absolutely deserve the opportunity." Robert felt this way genuinely. He was thrilled for his wife and though they didn't talk about it anymore, he knew they both still wished he'd handled the Captain situation differently. Andy had made her peace with him and her father, but she still missed out on an opportunity that was rightfully hers. This was another step back in the direction she was always meant to go.
"So what is it then?" Andy said holding his gaze. Her eyes were firm as she waited for an answer.
"It's just going to be a little weird that's all…" Robert scanned his brain quickly in hopes of finding the right words to say. The truth was he knew he was both genuinely happy for his wife and also weirded out at now having to take more direct orders from her too.
"Taking orders from me?" Andy said with disbelief. She pulled away and threw the covers back on the bed, her temper flared quickly. She needed some space.
Robert tried to find the right words, but was struggling to get them out. "Andy... I…I didn't…" He realized he'd stepped in it so to speak and wasn't totally sure what to say to get out of it.
"So glad to know how highly you think of my leadership skills, Robert." Andy said, as she grabbed the light robe from the end of the bed and threw it on. She shook her head in frustration and headed out of the bedroom.
Robert growled in frustration and punched the pillow next to him. "Damn it." How had their romantic moment gone sour so quickly? He was happy for her and she did deserve the opportunity. He wasn't lying about that. But he was only just really, really coming to terms with the fact Maya was his boss. He reported to her…someone he trained and promoted up the career ladder. And he hated it… for someone very used to being the one in command, he was having a hard time adjusting. Harder than he thought. Now, he was going to throw Andy into the mix. It wasn't that he didn't think she could handle it or had any concerns about her leadership it was just going to take some getting used to. Further, he knew his wife and could expect her to dole out absolutely zero special treatment.
Andy poured a glass of water and her hand trembled slightly as she took a sip. She was pissed, but more than that, she was hurt. As she stared out the kitchen window she couldn't help but wonder why he didn't think she was good enough to lead 19. He said it wasn't that, but what else could it be? Would she really be that awful of a person to take orders from? She prided herself on excellence, knowing the strengths of every person on the team, using their strengths, making tough operational calls and being fair while remaining calm. Beyond all that, they had spent weeks apart, weeks missing each other and just wanting to be back together. She wanted things to be easy, she didn't want to disagreeing on her first day back home.
Robert made quick work of the blankets covering him and slipped on a pair of black joggers before heading downstairs to find his wife. She was standing in the kitchen looking out the window into the small back yard with a glass of water in her hand. He hesitated a bit and wondered if maybe he should keep his distance, but simply didn't want to. He stood behind her and slid an arm around around her waist. She was stiff and didn't melt into him like she normally would, but he wasn't deterred. He dropped a kiss on her shoulder and whispered. "I'm sorry. I really am happy for you, Andy. My stuff has has nothing to do with you. Just me."
Andy didn't move out of his hold, but her tone was frosty. "I'm going to need more words, Robert. What does that mean? Because from where I'm standing, it feels a lot like you not belie…"
Robert cut her off before she could continue. "I absolutely believe in you. I think you are the strongest woman I know. You are wildly capable and a great leader. You lead with heart and empathy, you are operationally savvy and willing to make tough calls when you need to. Your standards are almost as high as mine…" This got a chuckle out of Andy and she softened just a bit. "And you relentlessly pursue excellence. I should have led with that. Because that's all true."
Andy sat her water glass down and turned in Robert's arms so she could face him. "So what is it then? When we finally decided to be together, you had no problem with the power dynamic when the roles were reversed. You didn't mind calling the shots at work and sleeping with me at the same time."
Robert sighed deeply still trying to form his thoughts. His hands dropped to his sides briefly before he tucked them into the pockets of his sweats and he leaned against the counter still facing his wife. Her arms were crossed in front of her chest, the thin robe she'd thrown only hit her mid thigh giving him a perfect view of her gorgeous legs, but her eyes were hard and firey. He knew he needed to explain himself better. "I told you yesterday that I think it just really hit me that the person I encouraged to apply for a Lieutenant position when I first got to 19 and the person I promoted is my boss now." He shook his head a little just thinking about it. "I worked hard for a long time to get to where I was, Andy. I stopped cleaning toilets before some folks on the team ever even joined the academy. And I know I messed up, so I don't have anyone but myself to blame for my situation, but it's still hard. Harder than I anticipated."
Andy softened just a bit as she listened to her husband open up to her. "I get that..."
"It just feels like, everyday I'm eating a whopping slice of humble pie. And for a proud guy, someone competitive, someone who likes to be the best, someone who's job means..." Robert's voice trailed off just a bit. "When we respond to an incident and are out in the field I know I have twice as much experience as the person telling me what to do. I see things clearer and faster sometimes, but there's nothing I can do. That would be frustrating for anyone." Andy nodded her head in agreement and he continued. "I'm adjusting... I am, but it's taking time." He shrugged his shoulders a bit.
Andy relaxed as he spoke. She was seeing things from his perspective and it definitely helped her understand where he was at. She closed the short distance between them and rested her hands on Robert's hips. "Thank you for sharing that with me," she said earnestly. "I hear how hard this is for you. You're trying to make the best out of a crappy situation and know if I was in your shoes I would probably feel the same way."
Robert smiled down at his wife as his hands wrapped around her waist. "You are an incredible leader, Andy. I believe in you and I know you were made for this..." He kissed her forehead gently before continuing. "What can I say, you also happen to be married to someone who likes to be the boss."
Andy couldn't help the full on belly laugh that came out at his admission. She stepped just out of Robert's reach as her delight bubbled over. "I'm not…I guess…" Andy tried to respond, but couldn't help the laughter. "I'm not laughing at you." she finally squeaked out.
"Aren't you though?" Robert said with humor in his voice as he observed his wife laughing hysterically at him. As soon as he made the statement out loud he knew it was a little silly. "Maybe, I deserved that a little."
The deep laugh had been therapeutic for Andy. As she got her wits about her and stared back at her husband. "Awww… my poor husband. Just can't handle not being the boss anymore." She smiled and shook her head just a bit. "Well… I'll try to take it easy on you."
"And I will be as easy on you as you were on me," Robert says with a grin.
"Oh please, Robert, I was a dream. You couldn't have asked for a better Lieutenant." Andy said with a smug look on her face.
It was Robert's turn for a full on belly laugh. "That's not what I remember, especially not in the beginning…" He laughed a bit more at Andy's shocked face.
"What are you talking about?" Robert didn't answer only gave her a look she recognized. "Okay….so maybe in the beginning I was a little hard on you. You deserved it."
Taking a little mercy on her, he continued. "All I'm saying is, you questioned me a lot. You took a lot of big swings. You weren't a yes-woman and you didn't marry a yes-man, no matter what my rank."
Andy wanted to brush off his commentary, but she knew he was right. That aspect of their situations were similar. When he came in as Captain of 19, she was used to running the show a lot. Taking charge, leading the team and making decisions. She had clout and credibility and at times after Sullivan took over, it seemed he was making her start all the way over. Which she of course resented him for. She could see his point of view. "I guess, I can see your point…"
"I'm sorry, did you just skate over me being right?" Robert said with a teasing smile.
"Slightly, partially, on the edge of being right." Andy retorted. "But also, I wasn't a probie." She raised her hands a bit in mercy, hoping to soften the blow. She knew how much Robert was wrestling with his current rank.
"Ouch." Robert grimaced and feigned hurt. "That hurt."
Andy approached Robert and ran her hands over his bare chest. She wore a look that was a bit sheepish. "I'm sorry, I know this is hard. I get that this is complicated for you. You are doing something most people wouldn't do. You are working your way back from the ground up. I have so much respect for that." Andy held Robert's gaze lovingly and linked her arms around his neck. "I am also getting a shot to do something really important to me and I need your support. I need you to have my back here. I'm not asking you not to be yourself or speak your mind. I'm asking you to trust me to make the right calls, to let me figure things out and I'm hoping you'll follow my lead more than you question me."
He saw it on her face, saw it in her eyes, she was trying her best to be understanding about just how difficult this was for him. He owed her the same consideration. Hell, if he hadn't let Pruitt use his love for her, they might not be having this conversation at all. She might just already just be captain. He knew that. He would give her the support she needed no matter what. "Well, what kind of husband would I be if I didn't give my wife what she needed..." Robert asked the rhetorical question just as his arms tightened around Andy's waist and he brought her in for a kiss. "So are we good?" He questioned as they pulled apart.
Andy reached up for another kiss and just before her lips touched his, she whispered, "Yes, apology accepted." Their kisses left her dizzy and hardly able to focus, but a thought occurred to her, making her pull back abruptly. "Maybe we need rules?"
"Rules?" Robert questioned. He'd had enough rules keep them apart during the separation.
"For the station… Like when we're at work I'm Herrera and your Sullivan. No flirting, wandering hands or throwing around longing glances." Robert cocked an eyebrow and watched his wife's face as she listed off each one. "We treat each other, like any other member of the team."
"That's a long list," Robert said. He didn't like it. He knew himself and everything about this situation said he was going to be biting his tongue and holding back a lot. Yes he was a rule follower, but being with Andy made him realize that there were definitely some rules meant to be broken. "Can I apologize in advance for breaking some of the rules?" He gave her a heart melting grin.
With hands on her hips, Andy replied. "Why would you be breaking the rules, Robert? You love rules." She teased him a little, unable to resist running a hand over his naked upper body.
"Some rules are made to be broken," he whispered as he dropped a kiss on her neck that garnered a low moan. "Especially when your wife is a walking temptation." He wouldn't deny that she was irresistible and he pretty much wanted her all the time.
"Robert Sullivan, are you asking for special treatment?" Andy's eyes twinkled with delight.
"No…no special treatment," Robert said begrudgingly. "I just can't promise I'll always be on my best behavior." He flirted.
Andy grinned and pulled Robert close. He eagerly wrapped his arms around her. "Okay…" She teased as her hand coasted down Robert's smooth back and sculpted ass. "A little rule breaking."
"Deal." Robert said as he captured her lips and his hands moved to untie the thin black robe separating him from her naked body. The robe draped open and he caressed her freshly exposed skin. Andy's head dropped back in pleasure as Robert dropped delicious kisses just below her ear. He always did know just where to go, to make her lose her mind. "And, I think we've finally made it to the make up sex part of this argument."
