Chapter eight
After visiting Lauren's doctor friend 'Julia' had settled quietly on the bed of the apartment Lauren had taken her to. She looked around the room like a child in a new and exciting place. She beamed as Lauren handed her a mug of coffee. "Thank you."
Lauren sat down beside her and Sydney snuggled into her. She had never felt so content in all her life. She lay with her head on Sydney's shoulder, far away from Vaughn and the CIA. Even if Sydney had no idea who Lauren was it was still better to be with her without a memory than not be with her at all.
"This isn't right." Those three simple words sent Lauren's world crashing down around here. She waited silently for Sydney to talk again or move and felt Sydney pull away from her and the sound of the coffee mug being placed on the bedside cabinet.
"That's better." Sydney smiled as her arms wrapped around Lauren and she lay down taking Lauren with her. As her head reached the pillow Sydney leaned in a kissed Lauren, shyly at first and then more confident as Lauren responded. Eventually Lauren pulled away for air, a small grin on her face. "Much better." Sydney beamed.
She leaned in to kiss Lauren again, this time her hands reaching for Lauren's shirt, but Lauren pulled away. "No…it isn't right." She got off the bed and out of reach of Sydney who lay pouting.
"How can you say that?" Sydney argued. "Of course it's right. We've been together…" She stopped as she tried to remember how long she had been in a relationship with the blonde woman who was still a stranger to her.
"That's why it's not right." Lauren stated and went to a nearby cupboard and took out some blankets. "I'll be on the couch." She couldn't look Sydney in the eye as she left the room and she felt tears rolling down her cheeks.
She may have abducted Sydney, caused her to lose her memory and took advantage of the situation to finally be with her, but she would never take advantage of her in that way, she wasn't that low and she respected and cared for Sydney too much.
'Julia' may not have had her memory but she still had her stubborn streak. After an hour or so she crept silently into the living room with the stealth of a cat, something that seemed to come naturally to her, and sat down on the floor beside a sleeping Lauren.
Lauren's chest rose and fell in a rhythmic pattern that kept Sydney entranced as she watched the other woman sleep. Lauren had changed for bed into a vest and a pair of shorts and after a restless sleep she had lost her blankets, giving Sydney a clear view of her beautiful figure.
Lauren stirred a few moments later as she felt a weight on her chest and found Sydney straddling her, her eyes full of desire and lust. "Sy-Julia..." She corrected but Sydney's lips covering hers drowned her sentence out. Lauren was in heaven kissing Sydney and exploring every part of her mouth, causing the CIA agent to moan and allow her hands to wander over Lauren's body.
When they found the bottom of her vest and tried to pull it up Lauren's brain finally screamed at her to take action. "No." She gently pushed Sydney away only to have her return and tease her with soft kisses along her neck and jaw, until her mouth crept lower. "No!" Lauren said it with more force and pushed Sydney away, grabbing her arms when she tried to advance on her again.
She switched their positions and manoeuvred herself on top of Sydney while pinning her arms above her head. "It isn't right…not while you don't remember anything…" Sydney whimpered and tried to push herself up to capture Lauren's lips, only to be pushed down against the couch again.
"Please." Sydney whimpered. "I want you." Lauren's will power was decreasing as Sydney Bristow lay beneath her desperately wanting her.
"It's not…" Sydney whimpered again, torn by some decision that was clearly plaguing her. Eventually her desire for the blonde was too great and she stopped struggling, causing Lauren to be on her guard for any tricks Sydney could pull.
"I remember." She muttered. "I remember months of seeing you, hating you for what you had, believing I deserved it instead, but lately I haven't wanted what you have, I've wanted you Lauren, so badly. Since you took me I haven't stopped thinking about when you kissed me, I've wanted so much to touch you again, to taste you…please Lauren…" Lauren's grip tightened at the realisation of what Sydney was saying.
"The amnesia…"
"I faked it to make you put your guard down and allow me to escape." Lauren scowled and stared at her. "You're lying. It's a trick." Sydney shook her head and tried once again to get Lauren's lips.
"Why would I tell you the amnesia was fake if I wanted to trick you?" She whined like a child being denied sweets. "Lauren…" She whined her name and writhed beneath her trying to free herself and at how desperate she looked and the look of lust and desire in her eyes, all aimed at her and not Michael Vaughn she let go of Sydney's arms and was instantly pushed down against the couch again, with Sydney straddling her. For a moment she remained still and Lauren was filled with dread that she would tease her for not allowing Sydney to have what she wanted or she would attack her and run back to Michael.
She looked up to her eyes with obvious fear and anxiety in her gaze and Sydney smiled sweetly as she gently stroked Lauren's cheek. "I want you." She muttered again before leaning down to kiss her. The kiss was soft and lovingly tender and Lauren was sure she was dreaming, as there was no way on earth she could have just been kissed like that from the woman she had secretly loved for so long.
The second time Sydney kissed her was not as gentle or tender; it was full of the raw desire that Lauren had seen in her eyes and Sydney's hands once again wandered to Lauren's top. She stopped her again and Sydney groaned in frustration. "Not here." Lauren grabbed Sydney's hand and led her to her bedroom. As Lauren tried to pull her down on to the bed Sydney stood firm and remained standing, much to Lauren's disappointment.
"Tell me you need me." Sydney repeated Lauren's earlier tease and the blonde smiled seductively as she removed her top and lay back on the bed giving Sydney a full view of her figure. "Tell me." Sydney demanded as she lay down beside her and nipped teasingly at her neck with her mouth.
"I need you." That was all Sydney needed.
