Scorpio House, January 5th, 1992
Anna walks through the front door, precariously trying to balance hands full of mail and Chinese takeout. She closes the door with her foot, and proceeds to look around the living room, progresses through to the dining room and places the Chinese food bags on the table. She then makes her way through the kitchen and back into the living room. "Where is everyone? They tell me to get dinner and no one's here", she mutters to herself, she saw Robert's car in the driveway, and she just talked to him only an hour ago. She still sees guards roaming around like they normally do, so nothing going on there. So where the hell is everybody? "Hellooo is anyone home here?" She pauses, no response. "I brought dinner," pause "As instructed, I might add". Silence. "Fine, who needs you people, more food for me." She says to nobody. She then decides to change first before digging in so she turns around and heads upstairs. However she begins to feel a slight panic as she still hears silence coming from the bedrooms upstairs. As she walks quickly down the hall looking first in Robin's empty room and then towards their bedroom she now has picked up speed; she turns the corner of the door frame and walks full-throttle into Robert, who is also coming through the door. The force of her forward motion knocks him backward and with nothing to grab onto but her, he takes her with him to the floor. With a simultaneous and loud "oomph" from him and a screech from her, she lands directly on top of him, with him flat on his back with her face inches from his.
When she recovers from shock, she looks down at him and moves both her hands next to his head and sees that his eyes are closed tight. Quickly she becomes concerned, "God Robert, are you alright, are you hurt?" He opens his eyes slowly and says "No, not really, just a little stunned, are you ok?" Chuckling with relief she says "I'm fine, I think." Then in a scolding tone, "You scared the hell out of me, why didn't you answer me when I called you, here I am bringing home Chinese that YOU asked for and the table isn't set and my husband and daughter are nowhere to be found. You know I think that demonstrates a complete lack of…, Robert, what's the matter? You ARE hurt." She barks and finally stops rambling after noticing that his eyes are closed tight again, like he's in pain. "Noooo, but unless you move your knee in the next two seconds, this evening will be over before it starts." Shocked for a brief second, Anna realizes that in her ramblings and her usual flair for making a point she has placed her right knee directly on her husband's groin. And said knee is now supporting most of her body weight. She quickly recovers, and uses all her strength to stifle a giggle. Knowing her "location" gives her the upper hand; she begins to adjust her weight support, and slowly, ever so slowly straightens her leg out. This, as intended, elicits a barely audible moan from Robert, one that she definitely recognizes, is not pain.
As he opens his eyes, he sees her face is inches from his, sporting that devilish smile that never fails to drive him absolutely crazy. "Better?" she asks, as she moves her lips millimeters from his so that he feels her breath on his own lips. She begins to adjust her body so that her legs are now straddling his and presses herself against him with a slight thrusting motion. She knows she's got him, because the only thing he can say, as his eyes close involuntarily, is "HmmHmm". She can feel her motions are having the intended effect. As she is still very subtlety and slowly thrusting against him she says, "Good, now answer my questions, why didn't you answer me before? and where is Robin?" Suddenly realizing that last part could pose a very significant and embarrassing problem, with their door wide-open, she stops what she's doing. Now finally being able to compose himself long enough to answer, Robert slowly brings his hands to her hips and says through clenched teeth, "Robin's at Jodi's for the night and yes with the guards and if you DON'T mind I was in the bathroom and didn't hear you, I just got home myself." Trying to stifle her laughter with his latest statements, she begins her movements again, "Did you just say Robin's out for the night?" she asks. With smiles spreading across both their faces, he looks up at her and says "I think so, but now I really can't remember anymore". She laughs out loud at his silliness.
She slowly bends down and touches her lips to his, lightly at first, then pulls back and looks at him with such love, that his heart nearly bursts. "I do love you", she says still slightly laughing and bends down and kisses him passionately, while increasing her movements against him. As they are kissing more deeply and becoming more frantic, he is now aggressively trying to remove their clothing, at least from the waist down. He is realizing very rapidly, that if he does not move this in the right direction fast, it will end too quickly and leave someone disappointed for at least the next fifteen minutes. It occurs to him at the same time that she is speaking, because her lips are moving, but he's not 100% sure because he hears no sound except the ringing in his ears. Finally his brain neurons begin to work again and he realizes that she indeed is saying something. "I really missed you today", he thinks he catches, as she looks into his eyes. While she stares at him, she is still slightly thrusting against him and becomes aware that her husband has a very large problem, looking for an immediate solution. "Anna, pleeaassee," he barely croaks out, trying to still her hips with his hands. "What's the matter Robert, is there a problem?" she responds seductively against his mouth. He can now only nod his head in response. She loves teasing him and enjoys seeing him under her complete control.
She slowly sits up again, and begins to undo the buttons of her blouse and proceeds to take it off. She tosses it, revealing a black slip, one that she knows he loves. He is just staring at her now, not really focused, she surmises. Sweat is now pouring off his forehead. She quickly contemplates scenarios, but then decides, because she doesn't want to move off of him, to just hike her skirt up higher and unbutton the clasps of her lingerie. She is still looking at him and realizes she better hurry, because he is either going to explode and not in a good way, or have a stroke in the next 10 seconds. She quickly raises herself just enough, to unbuckle his belt and open his pants and take him in her hands. He quickly closes his eyes, from the relief, but also in anticipation of knowing what she will do next.
However he quickly realizes it's not happening. He opens his eyes, and now sees that she is trying to unbutton his shirt, with shaking hands that are not cooperating, so she starts to just rip the shirt open and three buttons go flying. She proceeds to kiss the area where his chest is now exposed. He grabs her head as gently as he can in his current state and looks directly into her eyes, "Anna, I'm beggin' ya, forget the shirt." She smiles while nodding her head, and then moves quickly to sit up again. She is also beginning to pass the point of no return so she quickly takes him in her hands and guides him inside her. They both let out guttural moans at the sensation and begin to immediately rock against each other. It quickly becomes a frantic, which seems to be a growing pattern lately, he distantly notes. He wants to slow this down so he suddenly flips her over, which elicits a startled yelp from her. Without missing a beat, they continue moving in sync against each other in that slow, erotic thrusting rhythm that they are so very, very good at. It's less frenzied, but just as intense. While staring straight into her eyes, and it feels to her, into her soul he says, "I love you Anna, I love you so much." And with that they are gone, over the edge as they arch against each other with simultaneous moans of pleasure, while riding out the waves.
Finally, he collapses against her, kissing her neck and face and she is hugging him tightly as if she doesn't want to let go. After a couple of minutes, he attempts to move just a little to take the pressure off of her, but she whispers quickly, "No, no, don't. Stay inside me a little longer". When he hears this he realizes her voice sounds like she's crying. He looks down into her face and sees there are tears, streaming from her eyes and going into her hair. With the back of his hand, he wipes the tears and says gently, "Hey, what's wrong, what's the matter." She smiles up at him "Nothing, it's nothing, I don't know what's wrong with me." He responds softly, still stroking her face, "Something must be, come on tell me." He coaxes gently. "It's just, I guess, I don't know, I don't know what's wrong with me, I've been so emotional lately, I guess with everything going on." She pauses and he waits for her to finish. "I'm just afraid that this will all suddenly disappear. For the first time in my life, I actually have everything I ever wanted, truly wanted. With Faison out there again, I am so terrified this will all be taken away from me again." The tears are flowing freely now, but Robert just stares at her and smiles. After a few seconds, she looks back up at him and notices that he is smiling at her, "What are you smiling at?" she says, now irked. He responds through laughter, "Do you have any idea how unbelievably sexy you are when you're vulnerable?" That pisses her off, so she punches him semi-lightly in the stomach. "I'll give you vulnerable, you idiot, get off me" and she tries to push him, but he recovers quickly and grabs her wrists gently pinning them on either side of her head, while laughing, which pisses her off even more.
She tries to get herself free, but he holds fast, "Anna, listen to me and listen carefully. Stop, wait." he says with a smile because he can't help it as she continues to struggle. "Look, look I love you, I have ALWAYS loved you, that will never, ever change. After all these years and everything we have been through, here we are together. That has to tell you something. We deserve our happily ever after Anna and I promise you with everything that I am, I will give that to you and to Robin, do you understand? So please stop tormenting yourself with the what-ifs, the fear and the guilt and everything else that's going on in that beautiful head of yours. Let yourself be happy, enjoy what we have today right now and the future we WILL have together. Do you honestly think I will ever, ever let anyone or anything take all of this away from me or from you or from Robin?" With that she shakes her head no and reaches up to kiss him tenderly, "Love you, so much," she says against his lips with the tears flowing freely now. "I love you too, so stop worrying. Besides aren't you usually the one telling me I worry too much?" She shakes her head, because she is unable to speak at the moment. "Good," pause "Now however there is just one thing we DO need to worry about at the moment though." He says. Anna's smile fades and her brows knit together, as a slight fear bubbles inside. "What?" she says. "I think I just heard Olin come home, which could also mean so is Robin" He says quickly, then looks down at her.
She stares at him in utter disbelief. "Oh God, hurry up, get off, get off." She says as she looks over his shoulder and she sees their door is wide-open. They hear Olin coming up the stairs shouting out "Anna, Commish, you guys home?" Now panicked, she gives him a hard shove backward. His pants, which are down around his thighs makes him a little slow getting it together. He manages to stand quickly and fasten them just in time to see Anna running into their bathroom, "Thanks loads, Hon" he says after her and as Olin comes to the doorway. "Oh, hey Commish, thought you guys were out. Is Anna around? Wanted to let her know since Robin's out for the night, I'm going to stay at my sister's tonight, if that's alright?" Good Robin's not with her, dodged that bullet he thinks. "Well, we um, she um, um just got home, we uh, just both got home, and um actually and she is, uh, in the bathroom changing." He stammers out closing his eyes in utter disgust with himself. "Its ok Olin, that's fine, thank you, have a great time at your sister's, we'll see you tomorrow." Anna shouts quickly from the bathroom, with a hint of humor in her voice. Hearing her say it and hearing the chuckle in her voice, he glares at the door shaking his head slightly, as if to say "boy are you gonna get it." "Thanks Anna, I'll see you guys tomorrow," she shouts around Robert to the closed bathroom door. She looks at Robert and notices for the first time, his disheveled appearance. Putting two and two together very quickly, she smirks a little and becomes flustered while backing out of the doorway. "Well, well ,see you um tomorrow Commish." she says to the floor, trying to avoid his gaze. Realizing that Olin has figured things out, and now clearly uncomfortable he's determined to end this situation quickly, "okay Olin, see ya tomorrow, thanks." He watches her leave, following her into the hallway; he stays there until he finally hears the front door slam.
"Good grief", he says to himself with his face in his hands and walks back into the bedroom closing the door. "Well that was real smooth Robert, ever think of going into the spy business?" she says, standing in the bathroom doorway, laughing at him. "Funny, thanks a bunch for coming to my rescue", he says looking at her while removing his shirt. She walks up to him in only her black lingerie, and wraps her arms around his waist, "I do aim to please", she says with a smile looking up at him. "And you do at that." he responds bending down to kiss her. It quickly turns passionate and she proceeds to guide him backward to the bed. Suddenly pushes him hard until he flops down on his back. "Hey, what's with all the gratuitous man-handling tonight?" he asks, startled for at least the third time in less than 30 minutes. "Are you complaining?" She asks as she proceeds to climb on the bed, with first one knee, then the other on either side of him. "Well actually no, no I'm not, not at all" he stammers out quickly, becoming extremely aroused once again as she proceeds to lay herself fully on top of him. "Didn't think so." she whispers against his lips.
