Chapter Nine

Theresa received the papers that  officially declared her divorce to Julian Crane. Good riddance she thought happily. Theresa felt like she was floating on air. It was as if a huge burden was lifted of her back. Her heart also felt free of the hurt and pain that she had experienced from the heartbreak of losing Ethan. I'm moving on. She said silently. "I'm finally moving on," she said aloud. It felt good to say those words. Theresa began to pack her belongings into boxes and suitcases. She paused and sat down. Theresa closed her eyes and breathed deeply.

Knock knock.

Theresa opened her eyes and went to the door. "Who is it?" she asked.

"Your ex-step son." was the reply.

That Fox. Theresa shook her head and smiled.

She opened the door and was greeted with a bouquet of roses.

"Oh Fox," she said.

"These are for you Mademoiselle. A little present for your 'victory'."

"Why thank you. They're beautiful." Theresa gushed.

"Not as beautiful as you." Fox said. He looked around the room at the boxes and suitcases. "You're leaving the mansion?" he asked disappointedly.

"I kind-of have to now. Julian and I are officially divorced and I have to leave the mansion. I didn't ask to stay here to be included in the terms of agreement." Theresa put her roses down and continued packing her clothing into suitcases.

"Well maybe you should have asked for that to be included." Fox said frowning.

"Aww..Fox. What's with the frown? I thought you were happy for me." Theresa said.

"Yeah of course I'm happy for you. I'm just disappointed that you have to leave the mansion."

" Fox, it's not like I'm moving to another country or something. I'll be in town still. We'll still see each other."

"Yeah, but I won't get to see your beautiful face as often." Fox said winking.

Theresa blushed. "Look, you'll see me at work. After all you are still my assistant."

"Is there a chance that I could see you other times besides at work?" Fox asked.

"What do you have in mind?" Theresa raised an eyebrow.

"Well, I thought that maybe we could go out on a few" Fox paused. "Dates." Fox looked at Theresa and waited for her reaction.

Theresa was a little stunned. She recovered quickly. "Dates-huh?"

"Yeah. You are available now, and I just thought that I should take the initiative and ask you out before any other man got the chance to." Fox said smiling.

"But that's not fair to any of the other available guys out there." Theresa said playing with the buttons on Fox's shirt.

"Oh well." Fox tilted Theresa's face and looked into her eyes. "Tough luck for them."

Theresa giggled. Maybe going out with Fox isn't such a bad idea. She contemplated. 

Theresa put her arms around his neck. She closed her eyes in anticipation and yearned to be kissed by Fox again. "Fox," she whispered.

"Mm-hmm.." Fox mumbled. He put his arms around her waist and moved in closer. His lips were inches from hers. All Theresa could think about was kissing his luscious lips. She tilted her head upwards. He bent forwards and met her awaiting lips. They kissed each other passionately, their tongues dancing within their mouths.

"Oh, Fox" Theresa moaned as Fox kissed her neck. He lead her to the bed.

"I want more." Theresa whispered.

Fox laid her down and positioned himself on top of her. He continued swarming Theresa with kisses. His hands moved up and down her body. He found the buttons of her blouse and began to undo Theresa's shirt. Theresa mimicked Fox's movements. Fox then moved downward and moved his hands underneath Theresa's skirt.

"Mmm..Fox" Theresa moaned.

He slid his fingers underneath her lacy panties and began to work within her special spot.

"Ohhh.." Theresa moved along with Fox. All Theresa could think about was wanting more.

Fox then took off Theresa's remaining clothing. She laid there exposed on the bed. She smiled up at him. His hands continued to explore her body. Theresa's body longed for more.

Every spot Fox's hands touched was one more spot Theresa wanted him to touch again.

"My turn to finish undressing you." Theresa said smiling. She sat up and and switched positions with Fox. She began to take off his pants. She felt his excitement growing underneath. She got his pants off and threw them onto the floor. The only thing left on him was his boxers. Theresa looked down at Fox.

"Time for a looksee" She said mischievously. She worked his boxers down. Once completely off, she threw them to the floor and took a peak at Fox's body. He's beautiful. She thought. Her hands explored every inch of his body. She kissed every spot she touched.

"Mmm.." Fox moaned.

The heat between them intensified. The two were starving for each other. Theresa moved her hands down Fox's body and stroked him in his special spot. He moaned from pleasure. "Ohhh, Theresa"

"I want to take you," Fox  said. "Let me take you, Theresa"

Theresa couldn't wait any longer. "Yess..Fox." she said. "You know what I want..."

Fox moved on top of her. He spread her legs and gently entered her. "Mm.." Theresa groaned. Fox moved up and down. Theresa moved along with him. The two continued their dance of love. They danced faster and faster. "OH FOX!" Theresa cried with pleasure. The couple found themselves falling deeper into the sheets yet soaring higher with every upward and downward movement.

"I'm almost there," Theresa cried. "Wait for me," Fox whispered in her ear. The two continued their movement desperate to reach their awaiting plane of ecstasy. The two immediately reached their moment of ultimate bliss. They trembled with pleasure. "Oh, Theresa" Fox said. "Theresa, Theresa, Theresa...."

Theresa awoke. She looked up into the face of her mother.

"Theresa, you must have fallen asleep. Little Ethan got fussy so I decided to bring him to his mama. By the way, Fox is looking for you. Theresa, what is going on between you and Fox?"

she asked.

"Um, why do you ask mama?" asked Theresa still flustered from her dream. "What time is it?" Theresa couldn't believe she was only dreaming of making love with Fox. It had felt so real.

"It's 5:30. And I'm asking because I want you to be careful with Fox. He's a slick one. I know how charming and deceiving he can be. Be careful Theresa."

"Yes mama." Theresa said. "Lemme hold my baby boy." Theresa reached for her son.

"I've got to go see Antonio. I'll see you later Theresita." Pilar kissed her daughter and grandson before she left.

"It was only a dream." Theresa said in disbelief.

Damn. "Maybe later I won't have to settle for a dream. " She said aloud.
