Chapter Eleven:
Sugar Bear
It took Sarah a short moment to get her emotions back under control. She knew it was selfish. That Chuck was injured and all she could do was stand in his arms. But he means everything to her. Since she met Chuck she has never been more happier or felt more complete in her life and when she seen him fall to the floor looking lifeless she felt broken. She never wants to feel like that ever again.
"Chuck..."
Chuck kissed the top of her head.
"Ssh Sarah... It's okay... We have a major incident here lets get it wrapped up."
Chuck was just trying to protect Sarah. He could see the Agents looking at her. The last thing he wants is Graham trying to bench her for some reason. He wouldn't allow that but was not prepared to take that chance.
Chuck stroked Sarah's hair more. She was finally calming.
"I look a mess right now dont I?" Said Sarah with the smallest of smiles.
"No Sarah... you look more beautiful than you have ever looked." replied Chuck honestly. Then he kissed her briefly on her lips. And wiped her eyes.
Sarah wanted to break down again.
"I don't deserve you." She whispered to him.
Chuck looked horrified. "Sarah don't ever say that I am here for you always. You would need an army to take me away from you. You mean everything to me."
Sarah's bright smile that Chuck loved was back again. She got tighter around him.
Chuck winced.
Sarah panicked. "Chuck I'm sorry! Is it bad?"
"I'll be fine Sarah it's just a little painful I'll be fine with some painkillers."
"But more importantly how about you. You better now?" Chuck smiled at Sarah.
"Yes.. Just don't ever do that to me again Chuck. I told you not to do anything stupid and I could not live if I couldn't kiss your lips any more." She kissed his sweet lips.
Chuck never responded.
Sarah gave him a deathly look when she never got a response.
'Yep Sarah is back' thought Chuck.
Sarah dragged Chuck to one side. "Chuck.. Why did you do that.."
"I don't want to see you hurt Sarah."
"But Chuck I don't want to see you hurt either!"
"But Sarah..."
Sarah was getting frustrated.
"No Chuck! Don't you get it? You're all I have in my life! I don't have a family like you or friends like you have Bryce and Morgan. I have nobody! Only you. If you die I have nobody! So stop risking your life to save mine!"
Chuck never thought of that.
"Sarah I'm not going to promise you that I wont risk my life to save yours again. and please don't ask that of me because I can not give that promise. I don't know what else you want me to say Sarah."
Chuck was getting upset.
"Chuck, I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too Sarah. That what I did plays on your emotions. That you seen me fall to the floor. But I will always protect you because if I didn't and something happened to you that I could have prevented then I couldn't live with myself."
"Can we just go home Chuck?" Sarah sighs dejectedly.
"I'd love nothing more. Lets get cleared up here then head back to the Apartment. Maybe even ask the Director for some leave?"
"I'd like that."
Bryce went over to the detained NSA Agents. "Who's the moron in command here!" Bryce yelled.
"I am." Came the reply from the NSA Agent. He was turned away from Bryce.
Bryce went up to him "You just caused a major incident because you let your trigger happy gung ho's here open fire on us!"
The NSA agent was already pissed that he made a mistake of believing a CIA team to be Fulcrum. He turned to face the CIA Agent and both of their eyes lit up.
"I should have known it. You were always a gun loving hippie weren't you... Sugar Bear?"
The Agent grunted.
Chuck carefully moved away from a reluctant Sarah who was ever so gently rubbing his injured chest.
"Sugar Bear?" Was all Chuck could say.
Casey looked in the direction of Chuck. "Hello Chuck."
Sarah interrupted before they could say anything else.
"I've heard of you. Major John Casey. You're reputation proceeds you. But obviously not this time. What the hell do you think you are doing! I've never encountered a cock up of this scale before! You just allowed your men to engage another Agency!"
As the CIA Agents were grilling the NSA, Director Graham and another team arrived on the scene.
Police response units also arrived and cordoned off the area to the general public.
The Director motioned to his three Agents to join him.
"What the fucking hell just happened here?"
Asked the Director. None of the Agents had seen the Director this rattled before but an incident of this scale has never happened.
Bryce and Chuck knew that Sarah was still in a bad state so they gave the full report.
Bryce spoke first.
"Director, we were extracting Lazlo and heading back to the rendezvous. Agent Bartowski then spotted an NSA hit team so we pulled over next minute the idiots engaged us advancing on our position. Agent Bartowski and Agent Walker moved into a flanking position. Chuck was also very heroic and took a bullet to save his partner Agent Walker."
The Director looked at Chuck with nothing but respect. "Outstanding work Agent."
"But what an absolute cock up we have here."
"Couldn't agree more sir. We spoke to the NSA Agent in charge. They mistook us to be Fulcrum." Said Chuck.
"Christ.." Was all the Director could reply.
He paused in thoughts for a moment thinking how to get out of this mess. The Joint Intelligence Committee would be in an outrage. They would be the laughing stock of the intelligence world. NSA and CIA opening fire on each other. His people were only defending themselves though. The NSA would take the fall not the CIA.
"Ok... Lets get Lazlo to safety also bring the NSA Agents. As of right now they are to be detained until this mess can be sorted out."
"Yes sir"
The Director looked over at Sarah who was still a little shook up from the Chuck taking a bullet for her incident.
The teams mounted up and returned to the Orange Orange. Upon arrival the Director briefed the three Agents again. "Follow me Agents."
Chuck, Sarah and Bryce followed the Director into the back and through a coded door. What they seen on the other end they would never have expected. It was an underground CIA facility. The Agents looked on in awe. Drooling at the weapons armoury. There were also a lot of computers and analysts working down below.
"Welcome to Castle. Your new base of operations." Said the Director. "Take a tour of the area and report to me again in twenty minutes. Dismissed."
The Director then motioned to his tactical team. "Lock the NSA Agents up in the holding cells until we hear from the NSA command and Joint Intelligence Committee in D.C."
"Yes, sir."
The Director then went to greet Lazlo.
Chuck Sarah and Bryce took a quick tour around Castle and it was huge. It had an Armoury, Briefing rooms. Lots of storage. Holding cells. It had everything to house over fifty personnel.
Chuck needed to speak to Sarah and Bryce urgently about something. He would wait until they had finished with the Director.
The Agents returned to the Director after touring their new base and they were very impressed. They followed the Director into a briefing room.
"Firstly Agents, another fine job at the CIA facility rescuing Lazlo."
The Agents nodded.
"And now we have to sort out the mess of the fire fight with the NSA. I have just been in contact with General Beckman of the NSA and she couldn't apologize enough for the disaster back on 5th street."
Graham paused. "The Joint Intelligence Committee are in conference right now but it seems the NSA will no longer have out a kill order on the Intersect. They'll also probably throw the book at the NSA Agents we have detained."
Chuck's eyes lit up upon hearing that.
"Report to me here tomorrow at 18:00 for your next mission. We have an Agent who may have information on Fulcrum. You will be assigned to protecting her. And debriefing her for any knowledge on Fulcrum. You have full access already to Castle."
"Oh just one more detail. All Intersect operations will be conducted from this facility. As you can see my team is already set-up here and Lazlo will be working permanently from here."
The Director dismissed the Agents.
"I need a drink." Stated Bryce simply.
"I need three." Sarah replied.
"I need ten." Chuck replied as he promptly agreed. It was a good chance for Chuck to speak to them both.
The Agents left Castle and headed to a bar. They talked over several drinks Sarah having Tequila Chuck and Bryce Martini's. Bryce and Chuck were catching up and Sarah would not leave Chuck's arms once. She thought she lost him earlier and she intends to spend every single second possible with him from this moment on. She never wants to be away from him again.
"So Fleming recruited you Bryce?"
"Yep in 02. Gave the serving your country in a better way speech. How'd you get in Chuck?"
"Graham approached me. He found me at a bad point in my life. Told me I could either return home and rely on my sister or live a whole new exciting life. I always love an adventure." Chuck grinned.
"How is El?"
"She's good Bryce I've only seen her once in three years a few days ago."
"How about you Sarah. How did you get in?" Bryce asked.
"Graham approached me at a bad part of my life too."
"It seems they always find the best in bad points in their lives I guess."
Bryce could see it was a touchy subject for both of them and left it there.
Bryce also apologized to Sarah once more for Zurich.
"Forget about it Bryce. That's history. I'm up for a fresh start we make a good team."
"That we do" Said Chuck.
Bryce smiled.
"Now about that..." Chuck finished his drink and carried on. "So Graham said we could have two more top Agents right?"
Both Bryce and Sarah nodded.
"Well then we need Major John Casey on the team."
Bryce choked on his drink while Sarah gave Chuck a confused glare.
"Before you both kill me there's something I should tell you both. Casey saved my ass eighteen months ago. I was new and posted to Afghanistan in a joint task force with the NSA. Casey saved my life. I owe him. I can't let him go to jail. Today was just a very bad mistake. He could be great on the team and is one of the top five sharpshooters in the world."
"I trust Chuck's judgement" Said Sarah instantly. Which brought out a bright smile in Chuck.
They both looked over at Bryce he nodded.
"So how do we convince Graham? Asked Bryce.
"Well he did say we could have any Agent we wanted and I can't see the NSA complaining they will want rid of him. We'll tell him tomorrow."
"How about the fifth? I hope it's a female." Said Sarah.
Bryce and Chuck laughed.
"Feeling lonely sweetie?" Asked Chuck.
"No I don't feel lonely Chuck because I have you." They smiled before Sarah continued.
"I just don't want to sleep on a stakeout with four guys." Sarah admitted seriously.
They all laughed again.
The three shared more stories for a while before Bryce said his goodbyes.
"I'll see you both in work tomorrow. Have a good night. "
"You too buddy."
All three shook hands before Bryce left.
"So you ready to head back Sarah?"
Sarah smiled.
"I'd like that Chuck."
The Agents then headed to the place they could call home. Chuck and Sarah taking in the fine evening in L.A. They stopped on the way back to get some Sizzling Shrimp. Sarah loved it. Chuck told her how Morgan was a master of foods. He made a mental note to try and visit Morgan tomorrow he really missed him.
They returned to the apartment after a long and eventful day. As soon as they got back both of them collapsed on the bed cuddled up together reflecting on a dramatic day.
Chuck let out the biggest sigh possible.
Sarah looked up at him and brushed his long dark hair. "Want to talk about it Chuck?"
"I guess... Today has been one of the most challenging days for me as an Agent Sarah. Everything that could go wrong... did. It seems so long ago since we was last here but it's been only thirteen hours..
"I know Chuck and we had a perfect start to the morning. We should have ignored the call like I told you."
"Damm right. Whose silly idea was it to take that call" said Chuck.
They both smiled brightly and chuckled.
Sarah then turned emotional.
She put her hand up his shirt to his heart close by where the bruising from the impact of the bullet was "And... I almost lost you."
'Oh god.' thought Chuck.
He hugged Sarah as tightly as he possibly could without hurting his injury and kissed her forehead.
Sarah took a few minutes to compose herself. A day that started so perfectly when she was in the arms of Chuck only to nearly lose him. Talk about being on the other end of a see saw.
Once Sarah had calmed again Chuck told her he was just going to take a shower he would be right back.
'No invite for me to join?' Thought Sarah. 'Well then I'll just have to crash the party.' Grinning mischievously Sarah got up to join Chuck in the bathroom suite she waited for a few moments until he got in the shower and Sarah got undressed and joined him.
Chuck had his back to the door but he could hear it gently open. 'Don't freak out' he thought.
Sarah got into the shower behind Chuck wrapping her arms around his neck pushed up against him.
Chuck a little embarrassed enquired what Sarah was doing in the shower with him. "Sarah, uhm.. what.. are you doing in here?"
"Chuck...you talk too much." Said Sarah kissing the back of his neck.
"Ah hell screw it." Said Chuck grinning.
"Good boy." replied Sarah mischievously, while pinching his bare bottom causing Chuck to croak as the air suddenly got very hot.
Sarah took gentle care of Chuck washing him all over placing many kisses wherever she would wash. When she reached his chest she was so tender around the injury. She briefly thought about hunting that NSA Agent down and kicking his ass but snapped out of it and concentrated on the man in front of her.
When Chuck turned around he took a minute to admire just how beautiful Sarah was naked. "Sarah you are perfect" He kissed her lovingly before proceeding to wash her all over. Occasionally planting kisses making Sarah moan uncontrollably.
They spent a while taking turns as their hands touched every single part of their bodies while their lips remained connected in a fiery passionate kiss before they both got out drying each other. Sarah once more was tender around Chuck's injury.
"Sarah that was amazing. Definitely the best shower I have had"
They gazed right into the others eyes longingly before kissing each other tenderly.
"Me too" Said Sarah.
They then both got changed into the on suite robes and walked back into the bedroom laying back on the bed.
Chuck was laying on his back Sarah laying on his shoulder the other side of his injured chest. "So... What now Chuck?" Sarah asked suggestively. She wanted Chuck more than anything right now but didn't want to push him because of that wound.
"I was thinking... That we carry on what we started this morning." said Chuck mischievously.
Sarah smiled. She was happy Chuck wanted it too.
"You're learning fast baby."
"Well I have a good teacher" Said Chuck playfully.
"So.. Where were we my sexy student?" Sarah asked playfully.
"You were telling me how much you loved Graham?"
Sarah swatted his arm. "Wrong."
"You were telling me how much you loved Star Wars?"
Sarah gave him an 'are you serious' look.
"Ok you win." Said Chuck grinning. "I was taking your clothes off?"
Sarah nodded vigorously smiling more brightly than she ever had.
They began to kiss passionately facing each other they slowly got each other out of their robes.
Once they were naked they slowly appreciated each other while they were both becoming very aroused even though they already were after their shower.
Chuck admired every single part of Sarah. Sarah looked into Chuck's eyes with a strong desire. She needed her partner and boyfriend more than anything.
Chuck then moved on top of Sarah not breaking the kiss except only occasionally when they would both stop for air before continuing to kiss once more with an even stronger desire.
He moved down to Sarah's breasts taking them in his hands rotating between kissing them both. Sarah was becoming extremely aroused now.
"Chuck... Make love to me" Said Sarah kissing her boyfriend.
Chuck adjusted his body, never taking his lips away from Sarah once.
"Be gentle.. it's been a while." Sarah whispered to him.
"I will Sarah."
Chuck true to his word was more gentle than ever with Sarah as she guided him into her. Sarah after a short while was begging Chuck on to even further wickedness as she began to orgasm over and over as the partners and couple now became one and surrendered their souls to one another. Sarah could not stop moaning, and their lips very rarely left each other. After starting so gently it grew to be something more hot and passionate on a scale Sarah had never seen before. Chuck never once had an urge to satisfy himself it was all about Sarah. And she would find out over the coming weeks and months and years that it would always be like that.
Eventually, after several orgasm's from Sarah, they both exploded into an almighty climax together and Chuck collapsed on top of Sarah, both of them physically and emotionally worn out. They continued to look lustfully, longingly and purposely into each others eyes as they just lay there. Chuck still on top of his beautiful girlfriend, they kissed lovingly. When they eventually managed to recover enough Chuck moved to lay next to Sarah and they both fell asleep naked closely joined together. Their relationship fully committed...
