Chapter 8
The next day for John was pure agony and hell he couldn't think straight or see straight. He had to sit on the bed for an extra five minutes before he got up this morning.
Why did I drink so much last night? He thought as he moved sluggish toward the bathroom. John reached into the shower and pulled on the nozzle; the spray of the hot water on his hand felt good and he couldn't wait to get under the water. Setting a towel out he began to strip out of the clothes he still had on from last night.
John took out a bottle of aspirin from the cabinet and popped them into his mouth swallowing them with water from the faucet. He stepped into the shower and let the water rush over him relieving the tension in his aching backing; he wished Evangeline was there in the shower with him to help ease his pain. After fifteen minutes he jumped out of the shower and dried off. He went into his room toward the dresser and pulled out a pair of boxer shorts and a black wife beater pulling it over his head. He then pulled on a pair of gray slacks and a white dress shirt to finish off the outfit he put on the matching suit jacket and his black boots that zipped on the side. After tucking his gun in the back, and pocketing his badge and keys John left his apartment.
The station was the last place he wanted to be, but John knew he had work that needed to be finished. He asked around if Natalie came in yet and told the receptionist to let him know if she did come in later. John walked into his office, closed both doors, and sunk onto the couch sitting in the corner; his body was in need of some serious rest and all he wanted to do was get a really good back rub. Just as if his thought was coming to life at that moment in walked his beautiful and sexy woman, Evangeline.
Evangeline looked down over to her left and saw John with one arm draped over his eyes lying on the couch. She closed the door behind her and walked over and sat on the edge of his desk with her legs crossed.
"Wake up sleepy head." Evangeline said above a whisper as she ran her hand over the football she gave him before they broke up.
John smiled despite the pain the rest of his body felt. "I knew that was you and I was sleeping. And what do I owe to this pleasure?" He slowly sat up and rubbed his temples.
"I just wanted to come by and see how you were feeling and to make sure we didn't have hard feelings about our talk last night." She uncrossed her legs and got off the desk to stand in front of him.
"Well as you can see my body aches and I have a pounding headache. And no I don't have any hard feelings about last night." John ran a hand through his hair and laid his hand down on the arm of the couch.
Evangeline started pacing back and forth between John and the desk. She didn't know why she was here in the first place, she could have just called him to ask how he felt, but she had an uncontrollable urge to come see him in person.
"I think you might need something to work out those kinks you have there. So why didn't you stay home if you hurt this badly?"
"I needed to get some work done enough said." John stood up stretched his arms above him. He caught Evangeline glimpsing at him out of the corner of his eye. "I saw you; so don't try to hide that look in your eyes."
"I don't know what you think you saw, but I don't have any look in my eye. You know what I have to get back to work now and I'll talk to you later John. Hope the rest of your day goes well." She started to walk out of his office but was stopped with a hand to her arm.
"I want to attach some strings again. I'm ready to come clean with you about everything and maybe we could talk at your place later." John was tired of playing around his feelings and wanted to have Evangeline back in his life for good.
"Am I hearing you correctly or is this a ploy to get me to come home with you Lieutenant?" Evangeline was hoping and praying that he really was ready to tell her that he loved her and that he had finally told Natalie the truth.
"What I'm saying is I love you and I was stupid to just let you walk out on me. I should have fought harder and I should have never led Natalie on. What we had was real and I want that back, you don't know how badly I missed you, and how badly wanted to feel you next to me every night. So yes I guess I'm ready to tell you how I fell."
John took a step toward Evangeline and leaned in within two inches from her lips and whispered. "So can I kiss you now Counselor?"
The only thing Evangeline could do was nod; she wanted John to kiss her from the moment she walked into his office.
John leaned in and took her lips by force knocking Evangeline off her feet. The rush of feelings that was coming at both of them was too much to express here at the station, they would have to take their reunion behind closed doors, because John was about to catch up on old times.
"Wait a minute John." Evangeline said in between kisses. John was kissing her neck and waves of shock through her body.
She put her hands in his hair and grabbed a fistful.
John buried his face even deeper in her neck he didn't want this feeling to end.
"John!" said Evangeline a little more forcefully. John quickly pulled his head up and looked at her.
"What's wrong I thought you wanted this, please tell me that this isn't a mistake and I didn't just imagine you saying yes?" John looked at her with wet eyes.
Evangeline at looked John and grinned she knew what John wanted and she wanted to give him that pleasure.
"I want this more than anything but John we can't just have sex here in your office that wouldn't be a very wise choice."
"Babe do you remember when I came to your office and not only did we have sex in your office, but we broke one of your office chairs. So if we have sex in this office it wouldn't be a bad thing now would it?" John gave Evangeline that signature grin of his and dipped his head to her neck again.
"Uhmm, John please don't make me beg you to stop, because that's the last thing I want to do." Evangeline let her head loll to the side as John kissed her deeper and deeper into an oblivion.
When John pulled his head up for air he released his hold on Evangeline and walked over to one of the open doors. He held the knob for a second before closing and locking it. He looked at Evangeline and pointed to the other door. She shook her head and stood still, she was not about to let John seduce her into having sex in his office. John moved away from his front office door and as he started walking toward the other door, he ran a hand across Evangeline's waist. She shuddered.
"We should go to your place instead John." Evangeline had butterflies in her stomach the size of saucers and didn't know how else to explain it but nerves. She knew there was more of a risk for them to get caught here at the station then there was at her office.
"Just relax Evangeline everything will be ok." John locked the door and moved back toward her.
He ran a hand down her arm and watched his touch take effect on her. She was so beautiful and he didn't want this moment to end. He unzipped her jacket slipping it from her shoulders and admiring her blue silk camisole underneath. He ran the tip of his finger along her collarbone, over her neck, and between her breasts.
Evangeline slowly raised her hands and put them underneath his jacket placing them on his shoulder. She removed his jacket throwing it on the floor with out a thought. This is what she missed the most; the moments leading up to their lovemaking. She began unbuttoning his shirt and caught a glimpse of his trademark black wifebeater; smiling at the memories it stirred within her. She quickly relieved John of his shirt and ran her hands over his well sculpted muscles and traced his tattoos that she'd missed so much.
John reached up to remove the thin straps from her shoulders and pulled the camisole over her head and admired her lovely, shapely breasts. His fingers were aching to touch them and he was ready to put an end to that ache. John ran his hands over her collarbone and with every touch blazed a trail of fire to her breasts, he bent his head and ran his tongue around her nipple and took her left breast into his mouth and sucked on it. He then in turn took her right breast and gave it equal attention.
Evangeline bit her bottom lip to try and keep from moaning out, even though outside of John's office in the bullpen, the noise level was on a scale 10 factor. She was losing all control and he hadn't even entered her yet. This was heaven to her she'd been celibate for four months and was ready to welcome John back home. Relieving him the task of removing his wifebeater, Evangeline began doing it for him. John raised his arms above his head while she pulled the shirt over his head. Taking her breasts back into his mouth he began to suck on them until he heard Evangeline wince in pain.
Looking up at her with concern in his eyes he asked. "Did I hurt you?"
"Not too much." She smiled.
Feeling her legs being moved from under her, she felt John place her on the couch and began removing her skirt. She raised her hips so he could pull it off easier; John made easy work of removing it and tossing it on the floor. He was so ready to taste her skin beneath his tongue.
"I've waited months for this moment and I'm not going to let anything get in the way." John said as he unbuckled his belt and removed his pants; throwing both on the floor.
Evangeline placed both hands on the waistband of his boxers gently and slowly pulling them down, dragging the tip of her fingernails over his skin. She felt his stomach tighten and she grinned. Finally freeing his bulging erection from its restraints she grabbed it by the shaft and began a slow rhythmic movement. John shuddered and quickly removed any clothing that was left between them and lay on top of her shifting his weight so that he was too heavy upon her.
Teasing the gentle and wet opening he, smoothly entered her with one thrust and began a slow rhythm, he didn't want to end this pleasure too quickly. He continued his pace giving her time to move with him; when she caught the pace he moved faster and thrust harder.
Trying to hold back the screams that were lodged her throat, Evangeline bit her lower lip and let out a low moan. She ran his hands up and down John's back and raked her fingernails across his lower hips. John bent down to kiss the tender spot in the crock of her neck leaving it with a big red spot.
Not being able to hold back her pleasure any longer Evangeline let out a soft cry.
"Johnnnnnnnn!" She called out softly not wanting to be heard outside of the office by anyone else. Tightening her legs around John's waist she felt her muscles contracting against his member and pulling it in deeper. She held on to John for dear life as she felt her first orgasm rip through her body and take hold of her senses.
"Let it out baby, let it out." John kissed her jaw and her cheeks before he came to her lips. Not soon after; John found his own release that raked through his body in waves of pleasure. They lay happy and content in each other's arms for a few minutes before Evangeline realized where they were and tried to move from under John.
"John, we need to get up from here we can't stay on the couch all day, you have work to do and I have to get home and get ready for my date with Kevin." Evangeline tried to get from underneath John but came up unsuccessful.
"Wait you're still going on a date with Buchanan after what just went down between us? I can't no I won't allow you to go out with him."
This time when she tried to break through; she was successful. Jumping up form the couch, she was livid. How could he tell her what and what now he would allow her to do? She didn't respond well to other people besides her mother telling her what to do.
"John you have no right to tell me what I can and can't do. I thought we understood each other. I don't need you to protect me from everything; I'm not a little girl who doesn't know how to handle herself." She began picking up her clothes and pulling them back on straightening the hem of her skirt and the straps on her camisole and searched around the floor for her jacket, when she felt John's strong arms wrap around her waist.
"John let me go." She said in a calm voice, careful not to let her angry slip out.
"I'll never let you go again for as long as I live. Now back to Buchanan and this date you have with him tonight, I think you should go home, call him tell him that you can't come and have to cancel, and then you can come to my place and have dinner there." John rubbed her stomach.
Shaking her head; Evangeline tried to clear her head but couldn't think with John so close by. She needed time to process what just happened. Did she want to get involved with John again after what he put her through? Would they pick up where they left off? Did I just use him to release my sexual tension? All these thoughts were clogging her mind and she had to go some where quite and think this through.
Pulling free of John's hold, she grabbed her jacket off the ground and pulled it on. She pulled her hair out of the jacket and ran her hand though her hair to smooth it down, locating her purse and slipping her shoes on she moved toward the back door, so she wouldn't be seen.
"I'm going to leave before I say something I might regret and John I need time to think this whole situation over, so please don't pressure me into making any quick decisions."
With that last comment she was out the door; John had the impulse to run after her but stopped short when he realized he was standing in the middle of his office with nothing on.
