"No Strings"
Chapter Eleven (NC-17)
Fox unlocked the door to his apartment and called out Theresa's name. Then he heard the shower running. "Well, she either just got in, or she takes some damn long showers," he said to himself with a laugh.
After putting his briefcase in the office he headed towards the bedroom to change out of his work clothes. As he slid his pants off an idea came into his head. He quickly pulled his socks and boxers off and walked to the bathroom door. It was still cracked open and he heard a soft humming from inside.
Quietly he opened the door and stepped into the bathroom shutting the door behind him. He could see Theresa's outline in the etched glass of the shower door and smiled. Knowing her back was to him he reached forward and opened the door. He stepped in behind her and closed it, then ran a hand down Theresa's wet back.
At his touch Theresa jumped and turned to him. "Jeez Fox. You scared theā¦"
She was cut off when his mouth descended upon hers in a smoldering kiss. "I thought we could save some water and shower together," Fox said after breaking the kiss. He moved around Theresa and placed himself under the showerhead, the water running down his body in rivulets.
Theresa couldn't help but stare as his once dry body became wet and slick. She reached forward and ran her palm down his chest. His quick intake of air made her smile and she moved closer to him, her hand never leaving his skin.
Once there was no more than a few inches separating them Theresa put her other hand alongside the one already on his chest. She ran them up and down his naked torso, occasionally rubbing against his flat nipples. She could feel his erection pressing against her lower belly.
As she looked up at his face with a smile, she whispered, "I think I may have other plans for us and this shower."
A fiery look came into his eyes and he placed his lips on Theresa's once more. As the kiss became more intense and passionate he whirled her around and pressed her back against the shower wall. The space between their slick bodies rapidly decreased until they were flush against each other.
As their tongues meshed together Fox grabbed Theresa's legs and lifted her up. He placed his erection at her entrance and pushed himself inside of her. She immediately wrapped her legs around his waist as he started pumping in and out of her.
Theresa held onto him tightly as they made love in the shower, the hot water pounding down onto them. The sounds of their heavy breathing and moans soon drowned out the sounds of the shower and the slapping of their wet skin on each other.
All too quickly for both of them they came into an earth shattering release. As Theresa's inside walls pulsated around his pounding erection Fox buried himself to the hilt and emptied himself into her.
After standing still for a couple minutes Fox released his hold on Theresa's thighs and she unwrapped her legs, sliding down his body. She kept her arms around his neck since she was pretty sure her legs would give out.
They stood like that in the shower for a moment longer, letting their pulses and breathing slow down and shared one more kiss.

Forty-five minutes later they were both showered and dressed for dinner. Theresa put the finishing touches on her makeup and then walked into the living room, where Fox was sitting on the couch waiting.
He looked up as he heard the clicking of her sandals on the hardwood floors. "Wow Theresa. You look incredible."
His eyes roamed the length of her body. She was wearing a knee-length black dress with spaghetti straps. The skirt of the dress flared slightly at the bottom, but the rest hugged her curves. Her shoes were black satin with little flowers embroidered along the straps. She had pulled part of her hair back, leaving a few tendrils curled around her face.
"Thank you Fox. You are definitely looking pretty spectacular yourself. I've never seen a man fill out a suit quite like you do. The whole no tie, top button undone thing is very sexy."
She walked toward him and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "Shall we head out? I told Garrison to meet us at the restaurant at ten to seven."
"Yeah, we better go before I decide to dump the dinner and go straight to dessert. You."
Theresa smiled in response and then grabbed his hand, pulling him closer to her. "Somehow, I don't think I'd mind that. But Garrison will, so let's get going."
She grabbed her purse off the end table and they stepped out of the apartment and headed down to Fox's car.

After introductions were made throughout the group of four, the maitre d' took them to their table. They ordered a bottle of wine and talked amongst themselves while they waited for it.
"So Garrison, Theresa tells me that you're the best photographer at the magazine," Fox said.
Garrison blushed at the comment. "Well, I wouldn't say the best, but I think I'm pretty good. I've been into photography for half my life, so I'd like to think I've learned a few things along the way."
"Fox, Gar's just being modest. If everyone at the magazine had their choice of photographers to work with they would all choose him. I was extremely lucky that he wasn't already booked for another engagement when I asked him to come with me to L.A."
"Rees, you know I would've dropped it if I had other plans. No way would I turn down a trip to L.A. with my best friend, especially since I'm getting paid for it."
The group laughed at his comment. Their waiter showed up with the wine and poured Fox a little to taste. After giving the okay they were each poured a glass. Since they had already looked at the menu the waiter took their orders and then left them alone again.
"So Fox, what is it that you do for work?" Garrison asked.
"Well, I actually run a small branch of my family's corporation. My grandfather was a little iffy about it at first, but I talked him into it."
"Wow, that's interesting. So you're like super rich then, huh?"
Fox chuckled before replying. "Yeah, I guess you could say that. But I try to keep a level head. I've seen too many of my boarding school buddies ruin their lives with money and I don't want that to happen to me."
"Very smart. So, do you and your family get along alright?"
Fox was a little surprised at all the questions Garrison was asking him, but figured it was only him watching out for Theresa's well being. "A little better now than a few years ago. My mother and father didn't have the world's best marriage and were actually separated for a couple years. But after some talking, they realized that although they fought a lot during their marriage, they were happier together rather than apart, so they reunited. I rarely talk to them, but that's not unusual for my family."
They were interrupted by the waiter bringing them their food. As they ate they talked about the fashion gala. The party was in a couple nights and Theresa was looking forward to it. Although she had met plenty of models, she had yet to meet a full blown celebrity. Fox promised to introduce her to some at the party.
When the two couples split up after dinner Fox and Theresa decided to walk around the city for a little while before heading back to the apartment. Theresa was having so much fun with Fox that she wasn't sure how she was going to react when it was time for her to leave. There was something so right about Fox. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but he seemed really familiar to her.
Pushing those thoughts out of her mind she concentrated on the romantic evening she was sharing with the handsome man by her side. She wrapped her arm around his back and grabbed his hand, leaning her head on his shoulder. She let out a small sigh of contentment and Fox placed a kiss on top of her head.
Neither was willing to admit it, even to themselves, but they were both starting to fall in love.
Please review. I love hearing feedback.
