A/N: Thank you to Erika for a lot of help with this one! It takes place sometime in the future, in a world where Valentin and Anna openly admit they love each other on a regular basis. ;) Enjoy!

Anna Devane sighed as she entered her less than impressive hotel suite after a long day of work. A mission had taken her more than 4,000 miles from home to Warsaw, Poland. Valentin was nearly 1,000 miles away from her (not that she was counting) in Paris at an event for Deception.

She was tired. Her feet were killing her. On top of it all, she was lonely. Anna slipped off her shiny black high heels and padded over to the dresser in search of night clothes. She shrugged out of her dressy day clothes and slipped the cool, silky nightgown over her head. She was about to grab the bottle of Seyval Blanc she'd purchased the day before when her phone started to ring.

"Valentin." There was surprise in Anna's voice as she answered. "Why are you calling me?"

"Do I need a reason to call the woman that I love?"

"Well, of course not, but I thought you would be busy with the event." Anna collapsed onto the bed.

"Oh. That. I have a little break."

"It so good to hear your voice after being yelled at in angry Polish and Russian all day. People aren't my biggest fans here."

"Here's a little romantic French from your biggest fan if that helps. Tu me manques, ma chérie."

Anna smiled and leaned back into the pillows. "How is Paris?"

"The event had a great turn out. The place is popping and is the champagne."

"I bet you look so handsome in your tuxedo." Anna said wistfully.

"I look all right." Anna could almost hear his smirk over the phone." What are you wearing?"

Anna rolled her eyes. "A black chemise."

"Not in my mind, you aren't."

"Valentin!" Anna admonished.

"Hey... Look in the inner pocket of your suitcase. There's a surprise for you there."

"Okay..." Anna was confused, but she climbed off the bed and went over to her suitcase. She unzipped it, then the smaller pocket. Her eyes immediately went wide at what she found. "Valentin! What the...?"

"You're welcome."

"I didn't say thank you."

"You will soon."

Still in shock, Anna pulled a boxed sex toy from her luggage. In typical Valentin fashion, the vibrator he had purchased was top of the line with a variety of functions.

"Put it between your legs and turn it on." Valentin's voice through the phone was almost a growl.

"Valentin..." Anna was glad he couldn't see her blushing.

"You know you're curious. I even charged it for you."

Anna wasn't just curious; she was also turned on, despite herself. After a quick glance at the box to see how the vibrator worked, she took it out and discarded the box. Anna got back into the bed and slipped her panties off, tossing them to the floor. She spread her legs just far enough to position the vibrator over her then pushed the button to turn it on.

"Oh. Ohh. Wow. That's... That's pretty damn good."

Anna wasn't a stranger to sex toys. She had owned vibrators before, but this had all of them beat. It felt like a light sucking motion against her, and when she closed her eyes, she could almost imagine Valentin's mouth between her legs.

"I'm glad you like it, darling. Tell me what you're thinking about."

Anna bit her lip. "I'm thinking about you."

"What about me?" Valentin prodded.

"Your head between my legs. My hands in your hair, pulling you in as close as possible while your tongue is all over me." Anna inhaled sharply at the pleasure she was feeling.

"Mmm, Anna, you always taste amazing. I love going down on you. Turn it up just a little bit."

Anna obeyed, pressing the button up a couple of levels, moaning as the additional suction hit her. "Oh, God... That feels so good."

"Should I be jealous?"

"Ahhh. No. God, I wish you were here right now, though."

"You want me there holding your hips down while I tease you with my mouth?"

"Yes."

"Bringing you closer and closer to coming all over my tongue?"

"Val..." Anna whimpered.

"Turn it up again."

Anna's head fell back as the intensity increased. Valentin continued to coax her, telling her when to turn it up while murmuring what he wanted to do with her. His words and her fantasies finally collided, causing waves of pleasure to crash through her body. Anna gave herself over fully to the sensations. She squeezed her eyes shut and moaned loudly as her hips came off the bed. With her eyes still closed, she turned the vibrator off, her breathing still heavy.

"You are so beautiful when you come."

It took Anna a moment to realize she was hearing Valentin's voice in person rather than on the phone. Anna's eyes flew open, and she jumped when she saw him leaning casually on the door jam between her suite's living area and the bedroom. He was wearing a full tuxedo, and a smirk played across his lips. He had clearly enjoyed what he saw. The pink flush of arousal across her cheeks and chest grew deeper with slight embarrassment and annoyance.

"Valentin! What the hell! How did you..."

"The door lock was alarmingly easy to pick." Valentin said, waving a card in his hand. "I only had to use a credit card to get it open. The Bureau sure isn't springing for much in the way of accommodations nowadays, is it?"

Anna was too flustered to respond as Valentin made strides toward the bed, pulling off his jacket and bow tie and unbuttoning his shirt as he approached her. Kicking his shoes off, he crawled up the sheets toward her, kissing his way along her body starting at her feet.

"Thank you for your service." Valentin said to the vibrator, gently removing it from Anna's hand and tossing it to the other side of the bed. "But I'll take it from here."

Anna yelped as Valentin suddenly grabbed her legs and put them over his shoulders, pulling her close to him. She twisted her fingers through his short brown hair, gasping as his tongue went after her already sensitive nerves. He easily slid one finger, then another into her.

"You are so wet. Did you enjoy our little phone game?"

Her hands pulled him in closer by the back of his head. "Yes, but the real thing is so much better."

Anna threw her head back with a loud moan as Valentin pumped his fingers and moved his tongue in tandem like his life depended on it, bringing her closer and closer to the edge. She was completely at his mercy. Just like she had fantasized about.

"Valentin!" Anna called out, her legs shaking with pleasure as she shattered beneath him.

Valentin ran his hands up and down her legs, lightly kissing the insides of her thighs as she came down from her high. He was intoxicated by the smell and taste of her; he could spend all day with his mouth on her.

As incredible as her climax was, Anna still wanted more from him. She was still overcome with desire and needed to feel his flesh.

"Pants off." Anna demanded once she'd recovered, sitting up to impatiently pull at his belt buckle. "Now."

He was painfully hard and ready for her and grateful to finally be freed from his pants. Anna pulled his underwear down and stroked him, making him twitch in her hand with a groan. It had only been days, but he had missed her touch. His hands ran down her black satin-covered body as he lowered his head to kiss her breast that had fallen out of the askew nightgown. Taking the nightgown by the hem, he bunched it up and off of her body. His hands cupped and gripped her bare ass as she worked him in her hands.

"Oh... Is that how you want it?" Anna asked coyly.

She turned so that she was on her knees with her ass right in front of him. Valentin let out a low whistle at the view and grabbed her by the hips, positioning himself at her entrance. Anna gripped the headboard in front of her.

"Oh, Anna." Valentin's sigh was in relief as he sank into her warmth.

"Valentin." Anna's eyes closed in bliss. "I love how you feel inside of me."

"So do I." Valentin's breath was already ragged.

Pleasure burned through Anna as Valentin moved in and out of her, one hand reaching around in front of them to rub her as he thrusted.

"What do you want, Anna?"

"Harder." Anna pleaded.

He pulled her hips back harder against him. His only thought and goal was to bring her more pleasure. Sweat formed on his brow as he worked harder, faster, and he finally felt her lose control, her muscles erratically contracting around him. He relinquished control to her, letting her ride out her release against him.

"Turn over." Valentin panted, slowly pulling out of her. "I want to look at you."

Anna rolled onto her back, pulling him in close to her. Valentin framed her face in his hands, gazing into her eyes as he entered her again. They'd made love many times by then, but each time, he always wanted to really look at her and appreciate that he finally had her in his arms after decades of longing.

"Anna..." Valentin caressed her face as he slowly moved in and out of her. "You are amazing. I never thought I would be lucky enough to have you in my life."

"It's not luck..." Anna said, wrapping her arms around his neck. "You're pretty captivating yourself."

Valentin ran his hands down her legs, wrapping them around his waist to deepen his thrusts. "I love you so much, Anna."

"I love you too." Anna said, pulling him down by the neck into a passionate kiss.

He broke away after a few moments, and his tongue and teeth moved down and found the spot of her neck that drove her crazy as he set their pace again, slower and less frantic than before. His hand ran through her hair, tugging lightly at her scalp as his mouth moved down to her breasts.

"Can you come again, with me?" Valentin whispered huskily into Anna's ear. Bringing her pleasure was most important to him, but he also loved the feeling and intimacy of them climaxing together.

"Mm... Maybe if we..." Anna shifted her hips around.

Valentin understood what she needed. He grabbed the pillow from the other side of the bed and put it under her hips, then pulled her legs up so that her feet rested on his shoulders. The change in position allowed him to plunge into her even deeper.

"Let go, darling." Valentin urged. He couldn't hold on much longer.

Anna clutched Valentin's back, her fingernails digging into his skin as he drove into her. She cried out as she peaked again, the intensity of her muscles fluttering pulling Valentin to groan his release inside of her.

They laid there basking in the afterglow for a few minutes before Anna propped herself up on Valentin's chest to look at him. "I don't understand. Why did you... How are you here?"

"I missed you..." Valentin pushed a stray piece of hair back from her warm face. "So, I told Martin and Lucy to handle things, and I left. Right in the middle of the event. I took a private jet."

"You left Paris for Warsaw?"

"Mm, no. I left Paris for you." Valentin took Anna's hand and kissed each of her knuckles. "The City of Lights just doesn't sparkle without you, darling."

"But everything must have been so glamorous, with so many gorgeous models, the fashion, the food... I'm sure Lucy pulled out all of the stops to make everything over the top and amazing. I'm sure everything sparkled."

Valentin smiled slightly as he shook his head. "You're not getting it. I don't care about models or canapés. All I want is you. The only sparkle I want to see is what I see in your eyes right now. I love you, Anna."

Anna felt warmth in her chest as she traced her hand down the side of his face. "I love you too."

Their lips met in a tender kiss.

"I snagged some champagne on my way out." Valentin announced. "What do you say we celebrate?"

"What are we celebrating?"

"Anything and everything. That amazing love making session. Our reunion."

Anna laughed softly. "We were only apart for a week."

"It was a long week."

"It really was." Anna said, pressing another kiss to his lips. "I have to ask... Where were you when you were talking to me like... That?"

"The cab on the way from the airport." Valentin responded coolly.

"Valentin!"

"What? The driver didn't speak English... Probably... He got a very generous tip either way!"

"You're a menace to society, sir." Anna jabbed Valentin in the chest with one finger.

"Mm, yes, I am... And you love me anyway." Valentin drew Anna closer in his arms.

"I do." Anna let her head settle on his chest and inhaled the familiar notes of his cologne - citrus, sandalwood, and cedar. Her whole body relaxed into his embrace.

"Did you want that champagne?"

"I'm actually exhausted."

Valentin brushed smirking lips against her forehead. "Four orgasms will do that to a person, yes."

"Thank you."

"Well, what can I say..."

Anna shoved him. "Not for those."

"Well, you certainly seemed to enjoy them..." Valentine shrugged.

Anna ignored him. "For coming here to see me... I missed you."

Valentin tightened his arms around her, like he couldn't get enough of the feel of her body. "Let's make a pact. Wherever we go from now on, we go together."

Anna yawned into his skin. "Okay. Let's start with going to sleep together."

Valentin chuckled, caressing up and down Anna's bare back. "All right. Good night, darling."

Valentin reached over to the bedside lamp to flick off the light. He pulled the covers up and around them, tucking them in snugly.

"Good night."
