Sustain Me

Part II

Pairing: Robert & Holly Scorpio

Rating: R

It started with a touch. That's all it ever started with as cliche as it sounds. One touch was all it took to make their minds travel to places where intimacy lies dormant and demanded to be evoked.

Robert's lips captured her's in the softest, most tender kiss. "I love you." he told her again. "And I'm so sorry..."

"Shh." she silenced him. "I don't wanna talk about it, not right now anyway." Holly leaned up and covered his mouth with hers. Once their lips touched, that was it, the fire in them ignited his lips parted and she quickly accepted the invitation to deepen their kiss. Her arms wrapped loosely around his neck as she melted into him. He throughly explored her every inch of her warm, sweet mouth. Her lips were full and made for kissing.

They both knew that they couldn't stop now, not even if they wanted to, all their control was lost in what was sure to be the most explosive reunion in this history of the world.

Holly took the lead, pushing Robert over onto his back and then moving to straddle his hips as their sultry kisses continued. His hands trailed from her face, down her neck and started down her back until he found the zipper of her dress. She abandoned their kiss in favor of removing the some of the barriers between them. Robert slowly pulled the white dress off of her, savoring every inch of flesh he uncovered, dropping it to the dusty floor.

"Perfection." Robert breathed.

"I'm thrilled that you approve."

"I always have."

His hands traveled from her silky smooth legs, over her hips, over her bra clad breasts and to her face, pulling her down to him for another exquisite kiss. He drank fervently from her lips while his hands held her closely to him. Struggling to take the lead Robert rolled her over onto her back, his lips left her's and traveled down her neck manipulating her soft, porcelain skin with his lips and tongue.

Holly's breath caught in her throat as he quickly found the secret spot on the side of her neck that caused her to lose all control. He pinned her wrists above her head, stretching his body out over his as he continued to devour the taste of her skin. His hips pressed tightly against hers as her appreciation softly escaped from her swollen lips. Robert simply couldn't get enough of her. The surging feeling of having her beneath him was overwhelming and causing his control to slip.

"Robert." she moaned. "You're wearing entirely too much clothing."

"You always were the first one undressed."

"That's because you always undressed me first." she said as she attempted to push the fabric off his shoulders. "Off." she demanded.

Robert reluctantly moved off of her and back onto his haunches and slipped his denim shirt off, throwing it somewhere onto the floor. In a matter of seconds Holly was on her knees in front of him pushing his remaining shirt up his muscular physique and finally off of him. She leaned forward placing several open mouth kisses against his chest and then trailed them up his neck until she reached his lips where a series of smoldering hot kisses continued as the rest of the physical barriers were hastily removed.

Her lips grazed over his lips, his jaw line, his neck, driving him absolutely insane. "God, I've missed this." she breathed as she placed a single kiss on his lips.

"We're only getting started." he assured her.

He grabbed a fistful of her dark hair and pulled backward, trailing heated kisses down her neck. Slowly she descended backwards until she was lying flat against the bed. Robert shifted his weight and slowly sunk into her velvet walls as she accepted him fully. Their bodies moved together excruciatingly slow, every movement more intense than the last. Soft light flooded the room, making their bodies glisten.

Holly suddenly found herself on top. She moved over his body with such domination, enrapturing him, continuing to rise and fall in a devouring manner as he clutched her hips possessively. After several moments Robert maneuvered her onto her back giving her more vigorous thrusts as they both hit the tide sailing over waves of pleasure and plunging into the abyss.

Robert placed a soft kiss on her lips and then moved over onto his back, taking her with him. Holly rested her head on his shoulder as he caressed her exposed back. In that moment in time everything was right with the world.

They drifted off into a light sleep but were woken by the rising sun it as it cast a warm glow into the oversized room.

"Holly?" Robert asked softly. "Are you awake?"

"Yes." she answered softly. "I've been afraid to open my eyes." she confessed as she shifted in his arms so that she could look at him.

"Why?" he asked

"Because I was afraid that it was all a dream." she whispered. "I thought once I opened my eyes you would be gone and I'd be at home in my own bed all alone and you'd still be dead."

"Last night was very real." he assured her with the sweetest smile.

"I know." she breathed. "It's just that I've had this dream a million times over the past fifteen years where I finally find you and we talk things through and we make love and then I wake up and discover that it was only a dream and my heart breaks into a million little pieces all over again."

Robert leaned down and gently kissed her lips. "I love you." he told her. "If you would be kind enough to give me another chance I'll spend everyday for the rest of my life proving to you how much I love you."

"You don't need to prove anything to me, Robert." she said softly. "I know that you love me and having you back only confirms what I've known all along."

"What's that?"

"That our love could survive anything." she replied. "Even death."

"Things are going to be different this time." he promised. "No more secrets, no more lies, no more fake deaths and no more ex's showing up to ruin things. We're going to start over and do things right."

"Robert, I don't want to start over."
