The characters belong to Erle Stanley Gardner and CBS, I´m just having a little fun with them. The last part (in italics) is the dialogue from the show´s next scene.
.
Warning: a little spicy ;)
.
This is a missing moment for The Case of the Black-Eyed-Blonde (season 1, episode 37).
It starts after the scene in which Perry has been talking to his client in jail.
.
.
Perry left the jail after having conferred with Diana Reynolds and returned to the Brent building.
It was already dark at 6 pm and most offices had turned their lights off.
He could see the dark window of his receptionist´s office but the lights of his own office and that of his confidential secretary were still on.
He went into the building, took the elevator to the 9th floor and entered his office through the private door.
.
Della wasn´t in the room but the door to her office was open and he could hear her shuffling papers.
Moments later she came in, carrying several manila folders.
.
"Hello, Chief." she said in her rich, smooth voice.
.
"Hi, Della."
.
"How did it go with Miss Reynolds?"
.
"She told me that Marian Shaw kept a diary. It was hidden in her typewriter."
.
"Surely the police have found it?"
.
"They might. But there´s a slight chance it´s still there. I had her write a permission for you to get her clothes for court."
.
"Isn´t the police still at her place?"
.
"Yes, they are. That´s why I won´t have you go alone."
.
She looked up at him, a mixture of curiosity and hope evident on her face.
.
"But you have that appointment with Mr. Edwin at 8."
The important appointment that meant they would be spending yet another evening apart.
.
"Which is why I need to leave at 7.15." The hope vanished from Della´s glance.
.
"Paul will be here at 7.30 to pick you up."
.
"And here I thought you had changed your mind and decided to spend the evening with me after all." she replied with a slight pout.
.
Perry moved closer to her and gently lifted her chin up with his fingers to make her look at him.
.
"You know I´m sorry about that.
And I do hope you also know how much I´d prefer spending my evening with you, instead of with Mr. Edwin. He´ll be leaving for Europe in the morning, so I have to see him tonight."
.
"I understand, Perry.
And we both agreed that the practice has to come first… but we haven´t spent an evening together in ten days – and I miss you. A lot."
.
He carefully traced the contours of her beautiful face with his thumb and took her in his arms.
.
"I miss you, too! More than I can say. Believe me."
.
Perry pulled Della closer and placed a soft kiss on her mouth.
She sighed deeply and nestled her head against his chest, snuggling as close as possible, inhaling his scent.
.
It was one of those moments in which Della was absolutely sure not accepting his marriage proposals was the right thing to do. If she were his wife instead of his secretary she wouldn´t have seen him at all in ten days. At least not awake.
.
Holding the woman he loved in his arms, Perry felt his body react.
She looked up at him. He leaned down and captured her lips with his. It was a slow, sensuous kiss at first, but after a while it got more heated.
Their hands started roaming over each other´s bodies.
Della gently pushed against Perry´s chest and stepped back a little with another sigh.
.
"We still have some time, you know?"
.
She raised an eyebrow "You mean here?"
.
"Well – Gertie has already left, Paul won´t be here for a while. We could lock the doors to make absolutely sure we won´t be disturbed."
.
A sly smile spread over Della´s face. She walked to the back door and proceeded to lock it.
Perry made his way first through Della´s office, then through the reception area and locked the front door.
.
When he went back to his office Della was waiting for him.
.
Perry closed the distance between them and took her in his arms.
She´d stepped out of her high heels so she had to get up on tiptoes to put her hands around his neck. They kissed again.
Cases had been piling up lately, one right after the next, without a break, leaving them almost no time for a private life. It had been a while.
Desire was building faster and faster with each kiss. Della could feel Perry´s arousal.
.
"What about protection." Della asked breathless between kisses. "We need to be careful."
.
"I have a condom in my coat." he replied, equally breathless.
.
She looked at him questioningly.
.
"Well, I realized after that little, ugh, episode in the car last month, which by the way tested my patience on a whole new level, that it might be a good idea to be prepared for future scenarios."
.
"You would have made a great boy scout." Della teased him.
.
She started working on removing his tie and opening the buttons of his shirt while Perry started unbuttoning her dress. He removed the white scarf she wore under her collar and let it float to the floor.
Without breaking the kiss they moved closer to the couch.
Della pulled at Perry´s shirttails and he slipped out of the shirt. She tenderly touched his bare chest causing him to moan.
Della´s dress was dropped to the floor. Perry unhooked her bra and ran his large hands over her breasts and followed them with his mouth. Della tilted her head back, now it was her turn to moan.
Her hands found his belt buckle, opened it and he swiftly stepped out of his trousers.
Perry broke the kiss and bent down to remove her skirt, garter belt and stockings.
He looked deep into her eyes before taking off her panties.
She smiled and got rid of his boxers. In a swift movement she grasped his manhood with her hands causing him to inhale sharply. She started stroking him.
.
"If you keep that up I won´t be able to last long." he managed to say.
.
She grinned and pulled him down on the couch with her.
They shifted positions, Perry put on the condom and then he entered her with one swift movement, which made her gasp. He worked up a steady rhythm. The intensity of their love-making increased with each passing moment. They looked deeply into each other´s eyes and found their release together.
Della would have loved just to stay there. To feel his naked skin beside her, his strong arms holding her close, but she knew they had to get up, get dressed and groomed.
.
They teased while they helped each other putting on previously discarded clothes.
Perry pulled her close and started kissing her again and again and she had to admonish him after a glance at the clock. He needed to be leaving.
.
When he was presentable again she placed one last kiss on his mouth, then wiped her lipstick off gently, adjusted his tie and sent him on his way.
.
Della took a deep breath, adjusted her dress, put on her light coat and took her gloves out of her purse. She was sitting on Perry´s desk, putting the finishing touches on her lipstick when Paul arrived. He entered the office after using his customary knock and smiled at Perry´s beautiful secretary noticing her playful mood.
.
"Hi, beautiful, where is Perry?"
.
"He had to leave."
.
"I thought he wanted to see me?"
.
"How would you like to take me to dinner?"
.
"Would be a pleasure."
.
"Of course we´d have to make a detour on the way."
.
"What kind of a detour?"
.
"I have to pick up a dress for Diana Reynolds:"
.
"At her apartment?"
.
"Mmmh."
.
"Well, the cops have taken the place over."
.
"I know. Of course it may take me a little while to find something suitable…"
.
"And just what do I do in the meantime?"
.
"Oh, I thought you´d find something to keep yourself busy. Incidently, Marian Shaw kept a diary."
.
"After you."
.
"I´ll fill you in on the way."
