This is just a quick chapter I decided to update with today, it takes place during season 2,
in the scene with Tony and Michelle in the dark CTU hallway... Enjoy.

Lyrics from "Seduces Me"by Celine Dion

The tears flowed as she reached the dark hallway, trying to find solace in the cold, damp wall. Michelle leaned all of her weight into it, not knowing what to do—only dread filled her. The day would determine the rest of her life in more than one way, it might ruin her. Her brother reappearing helped her in no way, her work was piling up and engulfing her.

She covered her eyes with her hands trying in vain to stop the flooding tears, trying to keep her breath steady. Hearing the distinct gait of a person on crutches coming closer to her, Michelle quickly attempted to wipe her face dry, she didn't want to be caught in this compromising state, especially not by Tony.

She hoped he wouldn't notice her tear stained face, she hoped the dim light would be forgiving. But he noticed. After talking to Tony her fears begin to ebb, but then everything came rushing back to her, the tears re-emerged, but this time it was Tony and not the wall she fell into. He pulled her into a hug and with his touch everything bad simply melted away…

Everything you are
Everything you'll be
Touches the current of love
So deep in me
Every sigh in the night
Every tear that you cry
Seduces me

Tony could only think about how strong and beautiful Michelle was as he pulled her into a hug. He wanted to take away all her fears, rest his cheek in her hair. He was surprised by this sudden notion. After many seconds, Tony and Michelle knew that their hug hadn't yet stopped, that their bodies fit together; Michelle realized how much she needed his contact, but at the same time, given their circumstances, the hug maybe should have felt inappropriate… but it didn't…

All that I am
All that I'll be
Means nothing at all
If you can't be with me
Your most innocent kiss
Or your sweetest caress
Seduces me

They simultaneously pulled away from the embrace—they knew they should, but Tony left his hand on her cheek, feeling her tears begin to dry away into nothing. Michelle couldn't take her eyes off him. His hand felt warm against her moist cheek—his hand meant comfort. Something clicked in Michelle's mind. Tony wasn't taking his hand off her, and she didn't want him to stop touching her.

In his eyes at that instant she saw exactly what she wanted. Something erupted in her and she couldn't stop it. His sweeping hand was compelling her, a fire inside growing stronger, her body almost aching and craving more of his touch, he is all she needs, she was completely seduced…

I don't care about tomorrow
I've given up on yesterday
Here and now is all that matters
Right here with you is where I'll stay

In one swift movement her lips were on his, hungrily, passionately. No thoughts entered her mind; everything was Tony's lips on hers, his breath on her face. She succumbed to what she had tried to once deny, but what she had always wished would happen. Michelle felt a power growing within her, her mouth craving his, how good it felt with Tony. With a sudden, sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach, Michelle realized what exactly she was doing and pulled away, the exact opposite of what she really wanted to do. How could she let herself do that, give in like that?

Everything in this world
Every voice in the night
Every little thing of beauty
Comes shining through in your eyes
And all that is you becomes part of me too
'Cause all you do seduces me

Tony heard her mumbled apology as she gasped for breath and knew that deep down she wasn't really sorry, neither was he, the attraction between them was just too strong. Tony needed to kiss her, the back of his mind whispered that they could do this. Before Michelle could process what was happening, she felt the heat on her face once more, and his soft lips on hers as Tony melted away her fears again. And she let a small groan escape her lips as she pressed them against Tony's. He could taste her salty tears on her lips.

He pulled her closer, never wanting to stop. Michelle felt her knees start to buckle under her, turn to jelly from the intensity of their contact; she leaned more heavily into Tony. Her body felt warm from his arms, and she felt safe with him in the secluded hallway. Nothing else mattered, this is what they both wanted, now they were both content and electrified as they kissed for the first time…

And if I should die before tomorrow
I'd go down with a smile on my face
I thank God I've ever known you
I fall down on my knees
For all the love we've saved

They slowly separated and Michelle brought her brimming eyes upwards to meet his. She felt a pang in her chest when they locked gazes. "Tony," they heard a voice say down the hall, several feet away. And Tony was off, leaving Michelle panting for breath, a stray tear unhurriedly trickling down her porcelain skin. As Tony neared the corner of the hallway, he stole a glance back at Michelle. He was taken aback at how beautiful she looked, awkward shadows cast across her body, loose curls framing her face. As he went head-first back into the bullpen of CTU, Tony knew that they weren't done yet…

Every sigh in the night
Every tear that you cry
Seduces me seduces me
All that you do… Seduces me
