Chapter Sixteen

They hardly got into the elevator when she already regretted that she'd stopped him earlier. She yearned for his kisses, the touch of his hands on her skin. She hadn't cut him short because she hadn't wanted him as much as he had wanted her, she just really preferred to do it in complete privacy.

"You have no idea how much I desire you right now," she said the words silently, with her lips close to his ear as they were standing next to each other in the small box.

"This is not helpful," he replied, his eyes focusing on the ground, "One of us has to be able to drive that car home as soon as humanly possible. Unless you want to do it in there."

"In the car?" she asked, chuckling shortly, "I thought we are past that already."

As far as she remembered it had only happened three times so far and two of those had been before their marriage.

"I still can't control myself around you sometimes, no matter where we are," he admitted, looking at her shortly, before he bent his head down again, "And seeing you with him only made it more unbearable."

She wasn't surprised that he brought Chris up, she had counted with this statement much sooner actually. It had been hard to miss that look on his face earlier when he had found them in each other's company.

"We are just working together," she tried to sound calm, because she really didn't feel like entering into a debate about him again.

"I know, but he gets to see you all day," he sounded quite like a kid as he said this, which made Diane smile

"He doesn't get to see me all day and stop whining, it was your decision after all."

Her last words might have sounded a little more serious than they should have, even though deep in her heart she couldn't help feeling a little sad sometimes, thinking about how much different this whole experience could have been with him on her side.

"I know, which I deeply regret already."

She knew he did regret it sometimes, but she also knew that he shouldn't have. He had made a really hard decision back then and she was actually thankful for him. She wouldn't have been able to achieve this without his support and she didn't want him to feel bad about it.

"I won't fall for that, I know you love where you are," she smiled.

"Not as much as I love being with you."

He leaned forward to kiss her as the elevator stopped and she was grateful for the interruption, because they still had a car drive ahead of them.

o-o-o

Their way home felt more like a nightmare as she tried her best to focus on the road. Even though he did keep his hands off her during the ride, she just couldn't help wishing to feel them on her body. Truth was that sometimes she couldn't control herself around him either and with this wait they had already passed her endurance limit.

They got out of the car as the garage door closed behind them and they only had to walk through the other door to finally enter the house. He waited for her to get next to him, probably so that she could enter the door first, but instead of placing her hand on the handle, she practically threw herself at him, pushing him to the wall.

This was probably her way of trying to make up for not having given in to him earlier and he didn't hesitate long to return her passion. Next thing she knew she was pushed backwards and soon her body was pressed against the car and his hands made the same moves on her body as they had only a half an hour ago.

There was no more possibility of a rain check, they were in a private place, without the possibility of being disturbed. And even though it didn't make too much of a difference from the empty office or the car seats, she didn't care about where they were anymore. All she cared about was getting what she'd been hungry for too long already and finally giving him what he wanted.

They didn't even bother to get rid of any clothes, their hands found their way to the other's skin nevertheless. And the wait was over before they knew it, he finally moved inside of her, while his lips responded to hers. Their hunger was stilled in the most satisfying way and she finally had no more regrets that night.
