This is completely AU where Tom and Sasha are of the same age. She is an intelligent agent already and they meet in a different way than in the series. This story is M-rated for a reason
Chapter 1
She has been sitting in the hotel bar for quite some time enjoying her second cocktail and observed the other guests in the room. She chose the chair at the wall where she could see most of the room and needn't to fear an approach from behind. She saw an old couple talking a lot and holding their hands at the table in the right corner. Sasha had to smile at this exchange of affection. She hoped that she will find love someday and would be happy with him when they grow old. But she feared that her job would get in the way. An hour ago she came back from the Pentagon and got her new assignment: Boarding a plane in two days going to Asia where she would spend at least four months in absolutely radio silence and gathering the information they needed. It was her third assignment in a year and she was excited like the first time she had gone to gather information. She could be proud of herself: She was one of the youngest intelligence agents of the Navy, 26 years old and so perfectly skilled in the tasks she got assigned. If she get the new job done to the satisfaction of her bosses she could rise up the career ladder in no time.
But it had cost a lot to get to the position she was now in. First she had to fight with her family over and over again. Had to defend herself why on earth she chose to join the Navy instead of going to law school and became a lawyer like her parents, even getting into their office. After quite some time her parents and her brother accepted her decision and she could concentrate on being accepted to the program of the Navy. When she mastered all her job interviews and got into the program she had to fight for her rights and things in the masculine domain. But now she was on her way to be the best agent they had seen in years and she wouldn't give up the position she had now without a fight. She loved the challenge and the unknown of her job. Being perfect in learning several languages made it easier for her to get her job done. She was lucky to benefit from the many different speaking nannies who had to watch over her and her brother all those years ago. It was easy for her to learn Spanish and Italian when she was a child, she learned Russian at War College but the most difficult language to learn was Chinese. She had to be very careful to pronounce the words correctly, otherwise it would be a totally different meaning and she would get into a lot of trouble.
She was looking forward to this mission but before she had to go she was sitting in a hotel bar looking around to find a last fuck before she'll board the plane. She had to stay focused when she got to China so coupling wouldn't be allowed. When she scanned the room again her eyes lingered on the handsome man at the other end of the bar. Like she, he was sitting in an advantage position, the wall behind him but being able to overlook the whole room. Sasha had to smile. Her eyes roamed over his body. She could see that he worked out, broad shoulders and defined thews on his arms. Her gaze went upwards and when she looked at his face she locked eyes with him. Shining blue eyes were looking at her and she could see a smile forming at the corner of his mouth which caused her to smile in return. His smile went directly into her core and she dropped her eyes to her glass. With one gulp she emptied her glass and stood up and went towards the exit of the bar. Before Sasha reached the door she looked back at him over her shoulder and hoped he would still follow her with his eyes. Locking eyes with him immediately she had to smile. „Gotcha".
Tom has been sitting for quite some time at the bar and had chosen his seat wisely. From here he could overlook the room and had never to fear danger from behind. Being a 27 year old Navy officer he learned really quick that this behavior could save his life. And being home in a peaceful environment couldn't stop his survival training.
Tom had an exhausting day and was glad to sit at the bar in peace and enjoying the alcohol and maybe ending this evening with a woman. It would be his last evening having sex and drinking alcohol for a very long time. He came to Washington DC this morning and went straight to the Pentagon and met with one of his superior officers to get his new assignment: Going to the Med on the Pickney for at least six months. He was eager to join the tour after spending too much time at his parent's house after coming back from another tour to Oceania. He loved to be home for some days catching up with his siblings and his mom. But never looking forward to see much of his father. Jed was still a little angry at him that he joint the Navy instead of the Army. But Tom knew that he couldn't join the Army and be in the shadow of his father. Jed expected too much of him, always had, and Tom knew that he never could live up to the expectations. Therefore he joint the Navy and made clear that he had his own will and stubbornness like his father.
The feeling of being observed let his hair stand up at the back of his neck. He raised his eyes and locked them onto very blue shining eyes. He was taken aback when he saw her shining eyes. He had bet they would be brown but he had never expected to see such bright blue eyes. Her black hair even intensified the brightness of the color of her eyes. A smile formed at the corner of his mouth when he realized that he just caught her ogling him up. A smiled formed at her mouth and he saw her drinking her cocktail and standing up. His eyes followed her when she walked out of the room, disappointment washing over him. He hoped to talk to her and maybe they would resume their conversation to a more private room. His eyes still followed her and his heart skipped a beat when she stopped at the doorway and looked over her shoulder at him. Their eyes locked again and a certain anticipation settled inside of him. Before he could react, she went out of his sight. Tom gulped hard „What the hell" he thought and stood up following her.
He came just in time to the door to see her vanish into the ladies room. Standing there for some seconds his thoughts battled inside of him. Should he go to his room and forget the beautiful woman he had ogled for quite some time or should he wait till she came out of the restrooms and hoping to get her attention and perhaps more of her? Going back to the bar wasn't an option either. So when he saw the door opening again and getting a glimpse of her blue skirt he strolled towards her.
When she opened the doors again she hoped he had followed her. Being deep in her thoughts she didn't see the arm grabbing her and pushing her against the wall. It happened so fast that she couldn't react at all and the she felt lips crashing down on her own. Her survival training was setting in but she realized in time that it was HE who had grabbed her and she relaxed a little while returning the kiss with the same amount of pressure. His hand went into her hair and came to rest at the back of her neck while his other hand sneaked around her waist and pulled her into his body. Sasha could feel his erection immediately and she let out a soft groan. Her hands left his well defined upper arms and she wrapped them around his neck, pressing her body nearer to his. Tom could feel her hardening nipples against his chest and it took all his willpower to not take her in the middle of the hallway. The moment his lips touched hers and his fingers made contact with her skin his whole body was on fire. His cock stood at attention and he never had been that hard in his whole life. Oh god he wanted her.
When they broke the kiss for much needed air she looked him in the eyes and whispered „Your room or mine?"
