Clay and Anna arrived at the Jefferson Memorial around noon.  They were the only ones who knew the location of the ceremony and were making sure the final touches were done.  Since Clay was an usher he wore his Armani tux with the diamond cufflinks Anna had given him for Christmas.  Anna wore a simple gown.  It was red, the lace top had short sleeves and a squared neckline and the layered chiffon gown flowed from the empire waist.  Once Harm arrived with the guys, Anna went into coordinator mode.  Ordering the guys around and telling them to take their places.

"Gentlemen, I suggest you take your places.  The guests will be arriving shortly." Anna said she then looked at Clay. "Have I mentioned how handsome you look?"

"I can hear again." Clay laughed. "I'm glad you're here. It wouldn't be the same if you weren't with me."

"I'm more than glad to be with you.  Now go usher." Anna said giving him a kiss.

"Yes ma'am, by the way. You are beyond beautiful." Clay said and walked away.

Mac and the bridal party arrived. As Mac walked down the aisle escorted by AJ, Clay stood there looking at Anna.  Feeling his eyes on her, Anna turned and smiled at him. 

After the ceremony, where Mac complained about the wording of the vows, Clay and Anna quickly took off for the Landon House.  While she no longer worked there, she did have something special planned for Mac and Harm, plus she promised to oversee their reception.

They waited for Mac and Harm's limo to get there. Standing at the entrance gate of the Landon House by a tree, Clay could not stop staring at her.

"What are you lookin' at?" Anna laughed.

"You, how cute you are." Clay smiled.

"Hmm, at the Jefferson Memorial I was beyond beautiful, now I am just cute?" Anna teased.

"You're always beautiful, but you are also very cute." Clay said tapped her nose.

"What is it with you and tapping my nose?" Anna asked.

"You're nose is cute." Clay laughed.

"I know that but you have a habit of tapping my nose whenever…" Anna started. "Oh my god, you're horny." She laughed.

"That's not true." Clay said looking away.

"Yes it is, the first time in bed, at my mother's, at your mothers, at the hotel. It's like a signal." Anna laughed.

"I just think your nose is cute." Clay protested.

"You're a liar." Anna laughed as she slipped her arms around him and started kissing his neck.

"Anna, we're standing outside." Clay warned. "Mac and Harm could pull up at any second not to mention the other guests."

"Chicken," Anna teased and kissed him. Mac and Harm's limo pulled up at that moment and stopped at the gate. Clay and Anna jumped into the limo.

"Congrats guys." Clay said.

"Thank you. Now what's going on?" Mac asked.

"You have to be the last to arrive at the reception.  I want you to arrive in style." Anna said.

"We're already in a limo." Harm said, "Are we flying in?"

"No, besides your mother said she has a surprise for you too." Clay said.

"She does? Ok? Well I guess we can relax here for now.  If you two would please get out, I want to be alone with my wife." Harm joked.

"We can take a hint." Clay smiled. "We'll be back to get you after all the guests have arrived."

"Byeeee," Mac waved as Clay and Anna got out of the limo.  Awhile later Anna knocked on the limo window.

"It's time." Anna said as she knocked on the window.

"Ok, what's the surprise?" Harm asked as he helped Mac out of the limo.

"This!" Clay said with a big smile as he pointed to a horse drawn carriage. "You guys need to arrive in style."

"This is great." Mac said with a laugh. "It's so, so. It's just so…"

"I know isn't it?" Anna said. "I'm glad you approve."

"Anna this is so sweet." Harm said. "Now what's my mother's surprise?"

"Are you kidding? She'd kill us if we told you." Clay laughed.

Mac and Harm got into the carriage and were taken to the reception.

"I think this was a very cute idea." Clay said.

"What can I say?" Anna replied tapping his nose.

"Miss Paparini, now who's tapping a nose?" Clay teased.

"What's the big deal? You said it didn't mean anything." Anna replied as she walked to the car and they drove to the reception building.  They past Mac and Harm's carriage and stood on the porch with the rest of the guests.

"That was such a great idea." Harriet said to Anna.

"I just think these two deserve something special." Anna said. "I'll be back; I want to make sure everything under control."

"You always have to be the boss." Clay teased as he followed her inside.

"Not so," Anna laughed. "I'll be right back.

Anna checked things out and said hello to her former employees.  They were happy to see her and wanted to know about that guy.  Anna just smiled and went to join Clay.  As the reception carried on they danced and laughed.  They had a wonderful evening, however once the garter and bouquet were tossed, they took their leave.  Clay had fulfilled his obligation as usher and Anna had made sure everything was perfect.   They quietly snuck out of the reception and went to the car.  When the got to Anna's place they barely made it into the house before they were attacking each other.

"I don't know about you, but this whole day has made me very amorous." Anna announced and she pulled off the shirt studs.

"Mmm, you make me crazy." Clay asked, reaching around Anna to unzip her gown.

"Clay did anyone ever tell you that you sort of look like Bobby Kennedy?" Anna asked as she removed his cufflinks and was pushing off his shirt.

"No, you think?" Clay said still working on the zipper.

"Just a bit; if you changed your hair a little." Anna said pushing his hair and kissing him.

"Ahh Anna?" Clay said.

"Hmm." Anna said licking his ear.

"Oh I like that, but your zipper's stuck." Clay said.

"Pull harder." Anna said.

"It will rip. Put your arms up." Clay said as he started to lift the gown over her head.

"Clay, that's not a good idea." Anna began to protest.

"Anna?" Clay said. "Oh no."

"Clay, pull it down. It can't go over my head." Anna stated.

"Anna, are you in there?" Clay laughed as he started pulling the layers down.

"I can't believe this." Anna groaned.

"There you are." Clay said as he got her gown back to its proper position.

"Get some soap." Anna said.

"What do you plan on doing with soap?" Clay asked with an impish grin.

"Rub it on the zipper fool." Anna said shaking her head at him and turning around.

"Oh, ok." Clay said as he rubbed the soap on the zipper.  Within a few minutes the zipper was working. "Finally!"

"Eh, I'm not in the mood now." Anna said walking to the piano in her slip.

"Excuse me?" Clay laughed walking behind her.

"I don't feel like it anymore." Anna said and she started playing "Heart and Soul" on the piano.  Clay sat down next to her and played the other part of the duet.

"Ok, I'm ready to sleep." Anna said when the song finished and she went and got into bed.

"Anna? What's going on?" Clay asked following her into the bedroom, undressing and getting into bed.

"Good night," Anna said giving him a kiss and turning out the lights.

"Good night?" Clay replied then after a few minutes, "Anna, Anna Sophia…"

"What?" Anna replied with a snappish tone but with a smile that he could not see.

"Come here." Clay said reaching over to her.

"I'm here, whadda ya want?" Anna said in a bored tone still smiling.

"This…" Clay replied and he started a trail of kisses down her neck.

"Mmmm, that's nice." Anna purred and then teased, "Thanks for the kisses good night."

"I'm not done." Clay said and attacked Anna with heated passion.  He took his time teasing her body with his tongue; inch by inch he dragged it down her body. Her moans intensified as he trailed down her body. 

"Don't stop." Anna begged.

"I don't plan on it." Clay teased.  He knew Anna's body and what she liked.  He brought her to climax before he even thought about his own needs. 

"Clay I want you." Anna said breathlessly.

"I want you too." Clay said as he kissed her.

They finished their lovemaking and fell asleep.  They were woken a few hours later.  Anna's office phone was forwarded at night to her home phone.

"Hello?" Anna said wearily.

"Ms. Paparini?" The voice said.

"Yes? Who is this?" Anna asked.

"This is Mike Giordano." The caller replied. "I gotta problem."

"Mike, I thought you were going to stay outta trouble." Anna said with a slight whine.

"I'm at Metro on Indiana Avenue. Can you come?" He asked.

"Grrrr," Anna groaned, "On my way and don't say a word to anyone."

"What's going on?" Clay asked.

"One of my clients is in trouble again. I need to go to Metro." Anna said throwing on some clothes.

"I'll drive you." Clay offered getting up.

"No you sleep; I know you're leaving for lands unknown again today." Anna said.

"It's ok. I don't want you driving down there at this hour. What time is it anyway?" Clay stated.

"Three." Anna said getting dressed.

"Damn, I have to be at Andrews in two hours." Clay said.

"I'll be fine; it's not the first time I've gone alone. Now you be careful and come home soon. I love you." Anna said.

"I love you; see you in a few days." Clay said kissing her. "Be careful."

Anna left to go meet her client and Clay left to get ready for his trip.

On the drive to his place, Clay whistled "Heart and Soul", "Webb this woman has you whistling." He said aloud. She has you doing a lot of things you've never done or considered before. He thought with a smile. These were going to be a long few days.
