Sam stood outside the doors of the ambulance bay, staring up at the still silent El station, for a long time after her shift finished. The crisp January air blew around her body and she shivered slightly against the cold and hugged herself tighter.
Ever since her run in with Luka earlier in the morning she had avoided him like the proverbial plague. She had ran labs down to the labs, picked x-rays up from x-ray on her own instead of waiting for the techs to bring them back up just to escape from his stripping stare.
Rain started to patter down onto her head, sprinkles at first but then heavier and heavier and she made no move to get out of it. The morning was still dark, the six am sun not yet ready to peak it's weary head over the horizon just yet and she was thankful. She preferred days like these, the ones that reflected her mood the best. She laughed sadly to herself as Luka's words echoed in her head.
"I can't stop thinking about you..."
"Oh, you have no idea..." She shook her head and walked to the centre of the ambulance bay and opened her arms to the sky, tilting her head upwards and allowing the rain to wash away her silent tears.
Luka exited the hospital through the back entrance and glanced at his watch: 06.01. He looked up and stopped.
Smiling to himself, he stood under the shelter of the corrugated iron roof and watched as Sam stood, arms spread wide, dancing in the rain, laughing gently to herself. He could hear her childish giggles from where he was standing and he felt himself grin.
Her jacket was wet and hanging around her elbows, her eyes closed, her tongue sticking out between her lips, her thin red top plastered against her body, her long curls hanging straight and sticking to her face.
She had never looked more amazing.
The rain is like an orchestra to me
Little gifts from above meant to say
Girl, your falling at his feet
Isn't it lovely, you're stunning today
She knew he was watching her, she could feel his eyes on her back but didn't hear his footsteps until he was right next to her and his lips were on hers. She didn't even attempt to push him off of her, didn't care that they were standing in the middle of the ambulance bay and that anyone could walk out at any minute and find them there. All that mattered was that he was there and she was there and that they were there together.
She felt his arms slide around her back and she grinned against his mouth as she felt his tongue run along the edges of her teeth but she pulled away slightly, her body still crushed to his.
"Somewhere else," she panted against his face and saw a grin spread across his face. "You're car?"
He nodded and kissed her again, backing their bodies out of the bay, his hands never leaving her.
I'll find a way to see you again
I'll find a way to see you again
"I'm not, going to have... sex with you... on the hood of my new car," he said breathlessly as Sam tugged his shirt out of his trousers and pulled his aching body against her, as she leaned further back onto the shining black hood of his car.
He felt her legs hook around his waist and he tried to contain the low groan escaping from his throat and failed - miserably. He managed to pull himself away from her - using every last ounce of will power to do so and knew that if she pulled him down again he would be helpless to do anything but take her right there and then, on the hood of his new car in the brightly lit parking lot of the hospital.
He slid back and she moved with him, her legs still wrapped around his body, as her lips connected with his jawline again. He slammed her against the passenger door and fumbled with the keys as he tried to unlock the door.
Her bewitching assault was more than a little distracting.
"This is familiar," she murmured as she ran her hands over his butt and pulled him closer to her, while sucking gently on his neck.
She couldn't believe she had jumped him, especially after the speech she had given him about this not happening again.
"Stop it," he demanded but she only grinned and blew across his neck where her lips had been. His head dropped onto her shoulder and he growled in the back of his throat.
He finally managed to get the door open and he uncermoniously deposited Sam onto the seat, trying to ignore the fact that they would both be dripping water onto the soft, new leather of his car.
He literally ran to the other side of the car and jumped in, fastened his seat belt and started the engine, ignoring Sam's hand that was pattering across his chest, as she slid a leg over both of his.
"Sam," he turned to her with a raised eyebrow and he saw her try to hide her smile.
He just wasn't threatening when his eyes were dark with passion and his lips were curved seductively up at the corners.
"Keep that up and we won't make it to my house alive," he told her, his voice oozing seduction with every word.
She closed her eyes and nodded against his shoulder but didn't remove her leg from its position and continued to draw lazy patterns on his chest, her lips occasionally connecting with his neck.
Hey Kid, your time has come to change
Though I need you more than I've needed anyone in any way tonight
Hey Kid, I know it won't be long
The Captain's calling - come to see you back where we belong
He stumbled up the last two steps as Sam stood before him, pulling him by the collar up his stairs, her lips on his. She grabbed his keys out of his hand as he pulled them out of his pocket and turned her back to him as she slid them slowly into the keyhole. He stood behind her, his hands automatically resuming their position under her breasts, dragging his thumbs across the swells and he could feel himself coming undone.
He leaned down further and nipped lightly on the lobe of her ear, before brushing the hair off of her neck and tracing his tongue along the dip at the base of her skull. He heard a thunk as her head hit the wood and he laughed, his breath causing shivers to run around her body.
This was a feeling that they both knew neither would tire of.
Hey Kid, do wishes count at all?
Can you give me a sign - give me anything?
I won't tell a soul you told
Hey Kid, will you hold me when I sleep?
Will you find me when the tide decides that I got to leave?
He fumbled with the lamp in the lounge but Sam's hand on his arm stopped him.
"Leave it," she ordered and he stopped, turned his body into hers and quickly pulled her jacket off her shoulders.
She squealed in response but instantly tugged at his coat and they both fell to the floor with dull, wet thuds. He stood back and took in her form: her top was moulded to her breasts and her nipples were erect, her eyes closed and bosom heaving.
"Lijep..." he muttered and he saw her shudder and reach out to him as her knees weakened.
He reached out and yanked her top over her head and quickly removed her bra, with a back fastening this time. He pulled her backwards onto the sofa and she fell on top of him. He attempted to roll her underneath him but they fell to the floor and they both laughed, but when he felt Sam's hands glide up his chest and over his shoulders, pushing off his shirt that she had unbuttoned in the car, his laughter turned to moans.
"Sam... Sam I need to feel you," he said desperately and Sam could only nod as she felt a deep hollow feeling envelope her stomach.
She quickly pulled his belt from its resting place around his hips and pulled his trousers from his long, long frame. She pushed him off of her and stood up in front of the coffee table and undid the drawstring on her scrub bottoms and pulled them down along with her panties. She stepped out of them and kicked them to the side.
Sunset sailing on April skies
Bloodshot fire clouds in her eyes
I can't say what I might believe
But if God made you he's in love with me
She watched him for a moment, his dark, green eyes burning her image to his memory. His chest was heaving up and and down, as he lay with his whole upper body weight resting on the back of his forearms, his legs bent at the knees, splayed to the side, waiting for Sam to step into him.
They both knew they would never make it to the bedroom.
She stepped towards him and lowered herself onto him and both of them moaned the other's name. He wrapped his arms around her waist and began urging her body faster and faster against him until they both reach their peak and shook violently, calling out each others names and panting words that they would later have no recollection of.
"I love you."
"I love you, volim te..."
So now I stand
I never stood before
What's better left unsaid is done, buried and dead and you're alive
Girl I think you might just stay the night
Luka woke slowly and felt a weight on his chest. He looked down his nose slightly and saw Sam curled around him, her upper body thrown across his chest, her head resting on his left shoulder, while both her legs were wrapped around his left leg.
He stroked her hair gently as she began to stir against him. She tucked her head further into him and then she looked up with a lazy smile on her face as her eyes were half closed with sleep.
"Time is it?" She asked, and Luka decided that he very much liked the way her voice sounded just after she woke up.
"About noon," he mumbled against her lips as she kissed him lazily.
She sat up slightly and pulled herself over to his right side, covering her top half with the sheet.
"I should go, Steve will be wondering where I've been."
Luka resisted the urge to pull her back down and kiss her until she fell back asleep, instead nodded and watched as she stood up, then hauled himself out of bed too.
They got dressed in a comfortable silence in which they caught the other staring many, many times.
Eventually Sam was able to pull away from the slow, sensual kiss that was quickly becoming something a lot more passionate and backed out of the room.
"We still have to talk about this, Sam," he told her and he watched her smile grow wistful, then she nodded.
"But not just now. We're on the same shift tomorrow, we can talk after that."
He nodded and walked her to the door, where he kissed her again, making sure she remembered that.
"How you getting home?" He asked when he pulled back and fiddled with a strand of her hair.
"There's a cab station around the corner," she told him and he nodded his head.
He pecked her lips again and felt her smile.
"I'll see you tomorrow." He watched her walk away and reach her hand up to her neck. "Hey, Sam?" She turned to him with a small frown on her forehead. "I'm glad you wear it."
Several minutes after Luka closed the door there was a knock on it and he grinned as he stood to answer it from his position on the sofa.
He opened his mouth to say "What did you forget?" but when the door opened to reveal Abby he paused and then smiled.
"Abby? What are you-"
She kissed him.
"Haven't seen you in a while, thought I'd come on by and see how you were doing."
Luka smiled slightly and looked to where his bedroom was and frowned, knowing that the bed would still be warm from where he and Sam had slept in it. Panicking slightly he led Abby to the sofa and sat her down.
"How about some lunch? Let me get cleaned up and we can go out," he said as he kissed her forehead and she nodded.
When he reached the bedroom, he closed the door and leaned heavily against it.
What the hell was he doing?
But in this light
In this atmosphere
I'm starting to believe
The other side of me but who's to know
Honey... surely one of us is crazy
