a.k.a. Missing Kiss #4
CJ and Danny's House
Sunday, March 30th, 2008 7pm
" CJ? " Danny called as he wandered around the house looking for her. " Claudia Jean? "
He popped his head into the garage. Both cars were there. He looked on the deck, took a wander around the pool area, and looked inside the cabana. Not there either. He looked in the bedroom, wondering whether she'd taken a nap and overslept. The bed was empty, and she definitely wasn't in the shower. Bemused, he stopped by the kitchen and figured he'd get a start on dinner.
About five minutes in, the light in the pantry flicking on and off caught his attention.
" CJ? "
" It took you long enough to figure it out, " she said as she pulled him inside and plunged the small space into almost complete darkness.
" I was about to ask which one we were doing tonight, but now I know. "
" I've been thinking about what you said .. about me becoming reckless? "
" Yeah? "
"I think I have to agree with you."
" If it's any consolation, it was the best kiss in the dark I've ever had, " he said as he patted her down.
" How many kisses in the dark have you ha- what are you doing? "
" Checking whether you're wearing a pantsuit. I am satisfied that you are. "
" Tell me what you remember. "
He isn't sure why he's in a dark supply closet in the middle of the afternoon. But before he can think to ask, her hands are on him and the sensation of her lips on his is warm and sensual to the point where his judgement starts to cloud. And pretty soon he's having a hard time remembering exactly why he cares about the reason he's here.
" What made it the best kiss in the dark? "
" You did. You put one hand on me like this, " he said as he placed her left hand on his shoulder. " Then you got so close I could feel your breath on my face. " He pulled her head into the apposite position. " Then you put your other hand against my face and you .. "
" Did this .. " she said as she closed the gap and kissed him.
Danny froze in place for a moment and then pulled back.
" You're driving me crazy, CJ .. "
The loss of contact, as she felt the warmth and the heat of his mouth slide away from her, made her impetuous.
" Feel free to ask me to dinner sometime .. " she murmured before she kissed him again.
" You know, it's just as well you were wearing a pantsuit that day. "
" Why's that? " she asked as she deepened the kiss in a way she hadn't several years prior.
" I wanted you so badly that I think I would have embarrassed us both had you been wearing something that just passed your knees. "
" Do you want me now? " she murmured.
He hooked an elbow under her knee and raised it up.
" You tell me .. "
CJ smiled against his skin as she peppered his jawline with kisses.
" Want to know why I was wearing a pantsuit that day and the day after that? "
" Sure .. "
His hands ran all over her, and she gasped a little when his lips landed on places she wasn't expecting, and the friction of a gentle rub started to play havoc with her self control.
" CJ? "
" Mmm? "
" What were you going to tell me? "
" I can't remember .. "
" The reason you were wearing a pantsuit? " he prompted as he nipped at an earlobe.
" Oh, I hadn't shaved my legs. "
" Funny you should mention that .. "
" Why? " She laved the side of his neck and bit into it ever so gently.
" I had a dream once that I was watching you shave your legs. Might have been that week, might have been a daydream. I can't remember. I'm sure I've told you that I was walking around in a daze that week. "
" Danny? " It was her turn to nip at a earlobe.
" Mmmm? "
" Want to watch me shave my legs? " she whispered into his ear.
" Now? "
" Yeah .. "
" God, yes. "
A few minutes later he was standing in the doorway of the master bathroom, watching her root around in a cabinet.
" First I'll do my legs and then I'll do you. How's that? "
The sound of her voice coming from the back of her throat made him twitch and ache at the same time and, judging by the look on her face she knew it, too.
CJ slipped out of her pants, and positioned her foot on the edge of the bath tub before looking right at him.
" Unless you want to shave my legs, " she added as she stroked the length of her extended leg from the ankle to the middle of her outer thigh in a way that made him tighten quite visibly.
Danny let this eyes run over her. The toned calves, the smooth thighs, the way her legs went on forever. It was only the sound of her clearing her throat that brought an end to the adulation.
He stepped up behind her; pressing his mouth to the back of her head as he placed his right hand on her thigh. Slowly following a downward path as he pulled her back into him with his other hand. Her head dropped back onto his shoulder as the same hand snaked under her blouse and cupped a breast. He smiled as his right hand travelled up back up her leg and crossed over onto her inner thigh, because the change in her was almost immediate. A nipple rose to meet his fingers and her breathing gave away her arousal; matching his and then magnifying it.
" I don't think I can let you anywhere near me with this razor blade, " she said as she let it drop into the bath.
It took him a moment to realize that his right hand was trembling.
" Danny? "
" Mmm? "
She turned in his arms.
" Okay, now you're driving me crazy. Take me to bed. "
