Need a Favor

Chapter 4

"Want to Seduce Me?"

Ryan and Valera sing to the radio all the way home and both are a little surprised that they are enjoying the same music and that they both know the words to the same songs! Ryan pulls into her driveway and wonders what he should say next. He really doesn't want to go home, but he has no idea what Valera is thinking.

Valera pipes up and says, "Thanks for taking me to church, Ryan," and dramatically bats her eyelashes at him. Ryan laughs in spite of himself. "You are too much, Valera. You are quite welcome. It was actually a pretty good message. I hope someday I have a friend like that." Valera looks at Ryan and says, "I do too." The silence is a bit awkward for a second and Valera gets out. She looks back down into the car and says, "You coming?" and closes the door. Ryan sticks his head out the window and says, "Is that an invitation?" Valera looks back and says, "Oh, Ryan, I'm not rolling out the damned red carpet! Get your ass in here!" Ryan gets out shaking his head. The fact that he can never figure her out is very sexy to him.

He walks in and looks around. Her house is very modern and very, very Valera. She comes out of the kitchen with 2 Coronas and some strawberries and whipped cream. Ryan laughs out loud. He sits on the sofa with her. "What a combination!" he can't refrain from saying. Valera shakes her head. "You have got to loosen up Ryan. Just relax. I'm not worried about you seducing me.' The comment almost makes Ryan annoyed. "You mean because I am gentleman and haven't jumped you that I don't have what it takes to seduce you?" Valera looks at him with a raised brow and says, "Do you want to seduce me?" Ryan feels everything in him go hot. Instead of answering her, he pulls her to him and kisses her long and hard. She goes back at him hungrily until he slips his tongue in her mouth and then she just melts. He keeps kissing her slowly and deeply.

"Is that a yes?" she says breathlessly. Ryan looks down at her swollen lips. "Valera, you are beautiful. I've been attracted to you since the first day I met you. There are many times that I could have easily thrown you across the table in the lab, but that's just not me." Valera looks into his eyes. "You really are sweet, Ry." Ryan rolls his eyes. "Damn you Valera. You think just because I don't talk whips and chains like you do that I don't know how to make you want me?" Valera grins and kisses him hard, "Oh I want you Ryan Wolfe. I'm just waiting on you to make the move, and I am tired of waiting." Ryan stands up. "Where's the bedroom, Maxine?" Valera points up the stairs, "Maxine, huh?" Ryan smiles, "Yeah, if I'm about to make love to you, I may as well call you by your first name." She laughs out as he swings her up and carries her up the stairs.

He walks in and drops her on the bed. He lies down beside her and she says, "I just realized you aren't wearing your sweater vest! Just the nice button down shirt. Did you know I'd take it off of you?" She starts unbuttoning his buttons slowly. "Let's just say I was hopeful." She laughed as he smothered her with another kiss. They spent time exploring and undressing each other and both realized that the other was even more beautiful than they thought. Amongst the kisses and the touching, they were both lost in each other. Valera rolled over on top of him and he quickly rolled her back over, pinning her arms up and told her, "This is my seduction, remember?" She smiled and sucked in her breath. Who was this man? He was so much freer than she was expecting. He was gentle, yet rough. He was slow-moving, yet deep. If his OCD has anything to do with, it seems to make his exploration of her so much more thorough than she'd ever dreamed of! She is about to the point of breaking when he stops touching and kissing and just looks at her. "Ryan, what are you doing?" He smiles at her, "I just wanted to look at you, Maxine." She touches her finger to his lips. "Can you look at me later? I'd really prefer you to make love to me right now." He smiled and gave her everything she wanted and more. She was blown away by his strength and gentleness.

They lay together quietly; he has his arm across her chest. Neither is saying anything. He leans down and kisses her forehead. She runs her hand across his chest. "You are quite the tiger, Mr. Wolfe." He grins at her. "You still think I don't have what it takes to seduce you?" She throws her hands up dramatically, "You win, Ryan Wolfe! You win! And might I add, THANK YOU for proving me wrong." He smiles at her and says, "You haven't seen anything yet, Madame!" She raises her eyebrows and smiles, "I can't wait."

He rolls over and makes love to her again. If possible, even longer and better than before.

This time they decide afterwards to go downstairs and find something to eat. Ryan thinks he's going to have to take her upstairs again when he sees her bent over the refrigerator in his shirt. Her tight little butt was shining and he walks up behind her about the time she whirls around and says, "Let's just order pizza." He laughs because she has no idea that she's just killed the moment.

They call and order the pizza and sit on the sofa and argue over who has to answer the door. Ryan slips has pants on so he can answer the door. He looks at Valera and knows he has to ask her something. "Max, I can't go back to the way things were before I walked in here today." Valera looks at him. "What do you mean?" Ryan chews his bottom lip. "I mean that this wasn't just a romp in the hay for me. It meant something. I'm not asking for………….hell, I don't know what I am asking. I just don't want us to go back to work tomorrow and pretend nothing happened." Valera smiles and says excitedly, "Oh Ryan. It won't be! Now I don't have to just stare at your ass when you walk out of the lab! Now I can stare at your crotch when you walk in too and I don't even have to hide it!" Ryan laughs in spite of himself as the doorbell rings. She reaches down kisses his lips softly and turns his chin up to her. "I care about you to Ryan and everything is different now. Don't worry." And then she walks to the door only in his shirt and pops it open yapping with the pizza man. Good grief, "What a woman" he thinks as he stretches out on her sofa.

Still more to come, but it may be awhile! I'm tired now! Please keep reviewing! The next Ch is going to be Eric and Calleigh too!
