I did my best to keep my mind off Tony for the remaining two hours. I needed to make up for the time I had spent with him instead of working. It was so hard. Every time somebody mentioned his name I found myself thinking of his deep, gorgeous eyes, his soft lips, his hand on my face. I glanced up at his office. He was busy working, but then he glanced down at me. I smiled, turning back to my computer monitor. I heard my phone ring. I knew who it was and suppressed a grin.
"Dessler."
"Hey. You almost done?"
His voice was so soothing. We had only talked on the phone in a professional manner since I last left his office. Or at least, that's what we had tried to do. We both made a point of not seeing each other face to face, especially not in private, for work, as we didn't feel like being walked in on again today. Plus, we should be able to go two hours together without touching each other. Right? I could hear the change in his voice. He sounded relieved, calmer, sexier. I suddenly felt the longing for him that I had been trying to control for the last couple of hours consume me.
"Yeah, you?"
"I just need to finish up reviewing some documents Chloe gave me. I should only be ten minutes though."
"OK."
"Oh, and Michelle?"
"Yeah."
I could tell he was going to say something that had nothing to do with work. My heart pounded. I was sure somebody would hear it.
"I've missed you. I hate being able to see you, but not being able to kiss you."
I looked up at him. He was swiveling around in his chair, looking at me. I smiled at him and glanced back at my computer screen.
"Yeah. I know what you mean."
I was very aware that I was in public, not a private office, and I tried to make my conversation sound as professional as possible. Tony grinned at me.
I loved hearing her voice relax. I could tell that she was trying to sound like she was working, but I have to say, she was doing a truly awful job. She was glowing, trying to hold back a smile. But her eyes were smiling for her. My heart filled with emotion. I felt like I was going to explode. I wanted to grab her, kiss her, tell her how much I was falling in love with her. It was absolute torture, being with her but away from her."Yeah, I know what you mean too."
I hung up grinning, not able to take my eyes off her. She gradually looked up at me, and saw that I was watching her. She quickly looked back at her screen, but she couldn't hide that smile that had danced across her perfect lips. I finished reviewing the files and got ready to go. I couldn't wait to be out of there. I knew once we left, I wouldn't have to force myself to not think about her, not kiss her, not touch her. And best of all, I could gaze into her beautiful eyes and tell her I loved her, without the fear that Jack would walk in.
I saw him walk down the stairs, his briefcase in his hand and his jacket on. I was ready to go. Because we had come to CTU together this morning, I didn't have my car, so I would have to meet Tony in the parking garage. I saw him glance at me as he passed, but it wasn't an anybody glance. In the instantaneous second he looked at me I could see the love and desire in his eyes. And then they moved forward to the door. I grabbed my jacket and my bag once he was gone and headed out of CTU. Jack was near the door, talking to Chase, and he looked at me with a smirk on his face. I could feel myself blushing but continued to walk out to Tony's car. I would be with him soon, in his arms, lost in his kiss. I sped up. When I got closer to Tony's car, I glanced around the parking lot. It was empty. I quickly got into Tony's car and turned to him. There was want in his dark eyes. He looked around quickly and then leaned in and kissed me. I swelled with emotion and relief, so happy that his lips were back on mine. I put my hand on his face and he put his behind my head. I was so lost in his kiss; I didn't even remember that I was in the parking garage of CTU. He pulled back."We better get going. We don't want anybody to see us."
I knew he was right but couldn't help feeling disappointed that I had to stop kissing him. I think he could tell I was disappointed.
"Don't worry; we'll have plenty of time when we get back to do that. Or whatever."
He smiled. I could hear his voice change from disappointment to excitement as he said this. I was just as excited at the thought of kissing him more as I guess he was. I took his hand and he intertwined his fingers in mine. It was late and I was getting tired. Not too tired, though.
"Do you want to go to my place or yours? You haven't been there since yesterday. Would that be better?"
I thought. I liked Tony's apartment better than mine, but he was right. I hadn't been home for a while. I found myself not caring, though. I really liked being with Tony, and I didn't think I actually had any food in my apartment.
"Let's go to your place. I need to go grocery shopping and you actually have food at your apartment."
"OK."
As I drove to my apartment, Michelle let her head lay back onto the seat and closed her eyes. She held onto my hand, though. Her skin was so soft. When we got there, it seemed that Michelle had momentarily fallen asleep. I didn't want to wake her up. She looked so peaceful there; I loved watching her sleep. I knew by the way she looked at me when she got into the car that she would want me to, though. I parked and turned off the ignition, finally taking my hand back. I went over to the passenger side of the car and opened the door. I took her seatbelt off and stroked her face. I kissed her perfect lips and she opened her eyes. I knew this is how she liked to be woken up."Baby, we're here."
"Oh."
She sounded quietly surprised and sat up.
"You ready to go?"
"Yeah."
I grabbed her hand and helped her out. With my free hand I closed the door and locked the car. We walked up to my apartment. She seemed to wake up more and by the time we got there she seemed fully awake. I opened the door and she pushed me in, closing the door behind her. She pressed her lips against mine, wrapping her arms around my neck. I put my arm around her waist and stroked her face with my other hand. This is one of the things I loved most about Michelle. I would be hoping she would kiss me, and she would. It was like she knew exactly what I was thinking.
I felt Tony kiss me harder and I kissed him back. I loved being close to him again; I felt like it had been a century since I had been with him. He put his hands under the back of my shirt, pulling back to kiss the crook of my neck, the spot he knew would make me melt. I put my hand on his head, letting my head lean back slightly to give him better access to my neck. He retreated to my mouth, and I put my hand on his face. His face was scratchy; I could feel stubble underneath my fingers. I liked it. Finally I pulled back, resting my forehead on his."Let's get something to drink."
He took my hand and led me into the kitchen where he got out two wine glasses. I hopped up onto the island in the middle of his kitchen, watching him open a bottle of champagne, filling each glass up so that it overflowed with liquor. He came over and handed me one of the glasses. I took a swig. It was delicious. Perfect. I began to take my shoes off. My feet were killing me. Tony came up to me and undid them for me. I smiled down at him, hopping off the counter when he was done. While he was putting my shoes with his, I took another swig of the champagne. He came over again. He picked up the bottle of champagne and his glass and we went into his bedroom. He put them down on the table in his room and turned to face me. I could feel my blood pressure rise. I needed to have him, for him to have me. I looked up at him as he came closer. Maybe this would finally be the night.
I couldn't keep my eyes off her. She was so beautiful. I walked up to her, standing close so that we were only an inch apart. I rested my forehead on hers and closed my eyes. Opening them, I looked at her.
"What do you want to do?"
She didn't say anything. She pulled the tie, hanging undone around my neck, slowly off of my shirt. I looked down at her, asking her if it was time.
"We've waited long enough."
I was in total agreement, and I felt a small grin start to creep onto my face. She had a seductive look in her eyes, like she knew just how much she was turning me on. Without moving my eyes from hers, I began to unbutton her shirt. I slid it off her shoulders. Underneath she was wearing a skin tight, thin strapped shirt. I pulled it over her head. She then began to unbutton my shirt. She was gentle. I slid my hand over her bare shoulder and kissed her. We slowly kissed, and she pulled back to undo my belt. I looked at her, admiring her. I slipped her skirt off her curvy frame. I had seen her like this before, but I was once again taken aback by how good of a body she had. She looked up at me and kissed me, wrapping her arms around my neck, pressing her bare stomach up against mine.
He put his muscular arms around my waist. He laid me down on the bed and crawled on top of me. My heart was racing. He was kissing me; his bare chest was touching mine. I loved this feeling. I was completely lost in his kiss, feeling nothing but him on top of me, nothing but his soft lips on mine. He nibbled on my bottom lip, slipped his tongue into my mouth, intertwined his fingers in mine, pinning my arms above my head. His lips moved from my mouth to my collarbone and back up to my neck, which he kissed softly. He removed my remaining clothes, and I did the same, and for the first time, we made love. It was perfect. Finally, he collapsed next to me, breathing heavily. I rolled over on top of him, and leaned down to kiss him. We continued to make love, until we were both out of breath and I laid down next to him, him turning on his side to look at me, intertwining his fingers with mine. He gazed at me and I looked over at him."That was worth the wait."
He smiled at me when I said this, and kissed me once before returning to his position on his side, staring at me with love in his dark, addictive eyes.
I was in absolute heaven. After waiting so long to do that, I was completely blown away by how good of a lover she was. I leaned on my arm, propping myself up so that I was above her, gazing down in total admiration of her beauty. I couldn't believe how lucky I was, that it was me she had picked, me she had allowed to love her, me whose heart she had stolen and then refused to give back. I was filled with so much adoration for her. I never wanted to leave her. I wanted to rap my arms around her and never let her go."I love you, Chelle."
She turned over so that she was facing me, her fingers still intertwined in mine. She pulled them away for a moment and rested them instead on my cheek, putting her forehead against mine and closing her eyes.
"I love you so much. Today was absolute hell. I wanted to be with you so bad, but whenever I was around you, I couldn't keep my hands off you."
She pulled back, intertwining her fingers in mine again. I smiled at her.
"I know exactly what you mean. But it was worse for me."
"How do you figure?" she said smiling at me, laughter in her eyes.
"Well, you were wearing that skirt."
She hit me playfully, both of us laughing now.
"Fine. I'll wear pants tomorrow."
"By all means, I wasn't complaining, just stating the obvious."
By this time we were both laughing really hard. She had an amazing laugh. I kissed her and leaned back above her again.
"How is it that I have you?" she said, still smiling, but a little more seriously.
"Have me?" I said in disbelief. "The correct question is what the hell, are you, who is gorgeous, intelligent, sweet, loving, and incredible in bed, doing with me?"
At this she started laughing again. I smiled, shaking my head. She smiled at me.
"I didn't chose who I fell in love with. But I'm not surprised I fell in love with you. You're charming, sensitive, smart, nice, and sexy. What else do I need?"
I looked at her. She was smiling, I could tell she meant what she was saying. Once again, it was all there in her eyes.
"You have the most beautiful eyes."
She didn't bother saying anything, but leaned up and kissed me, relaxing back onto the pillow, my arm above her head on the pillow. We stared at each other for awhile. My head got tired, so I let my hand fall down and instead rested my chin on her chest, lying on my stomach, and looking up at her face. She looked down at me, running her hands through my hair.
"I love you," she mouthed silently at me.
Her eyes were full with loving, genuine emotion. I climbed on top of her, so that my head was right above hers, and kissed her. It was an innocent, light kiss. I was the luckiest man in the world.
He kissed me. His lips were wet, soft, perfect. I was full with an emotion I had never felt before. I was completely in love with him. It was that moment, I knew, I would never lose this feeling. It would never leave. He had my heart, and I was never going to get it back. And I didn't want it back. He leaned down and kissed me again, his hand on my face. I pulled him closer, my hands around his neck, kissing him harder. Once again we made love, the passion rising every second. I rolled on top of him, breaking the kiss. I looked down at him, our faces very close. I kissed him again, softly."I love looking at you from here," I whispered, my hand above his head, resting on the pillow, and the other resting on his bare chest.
I looked down at him. His eyes opened and he looked up at me.
"I love you."
I kissed him again. He turned me on my side, but didn't climb on top of me like he had done before. We both laid on our sides, him kissing me gently, tenderly, not trying to create more passion but just cherishing the simplicity, the innocence. He put his arm on my neck and I put my arm around his back. I closed my eyes. Our faces were only inches apart, and we just held each other. Until we both finally fell asleep, my love, there, in my arms.
