Sustain Me Chapter 3
Pairing: Robert and Holly Scorpio
Rating: PG
"Robert, I don't want to start over."
"You don't want to start over." he repeated making sure he heard her right. "Then what do you want?"
Holly shifted away from him and sat up, holding the sheet loosely to her body. "I want to pick up where we left off." she answered. "Starting all over would be pointless, especially since we've still legally married."
He sat straight up in shock. "When we're still what?"
"Married." Holly repeated slowly.
"I thought you signed the divorce papers?"
Holly arched an eyebrow. "You "blew up" on that boat with Cesar Faison and Anna and I really didn't feel the need to sign them because you were "dead", so I ripped them up." she explained. "Which means that my marriage to Alexander is null and void because you were alive the entire time, which means that you and I are still man and wife."
Everything was dreadfully quiet for several long moments.
"Are you mad?" she finally asked.
Robert relaxed against the headboard. "Mad?" he laughed. "No I'm not mad. It's a pleasant surprise to find out that after all these years of loving you and longing to be with you that we're still married."
"Even though we've both committed bigamy and adultery." Holly pointed out.
"Well, technically." he replied. "But I don't think it really counts given the circumstances. Besides I don't plan on leaving your side so there's no chance of that ever happening again."
"How's that going to work?" she asked. "Don't you have to save the world?"
"No." he answered. "I've done my fair share. I'll go anywhere in the world you want to go and we'll stay there for as long as you'd like."
"I don't care where we go." she told him. "As long as I'm with you nothing else in the entire world matters."
"We've made a lot of mistakes in the past, but this time we're going to get it right." Robert assured her. "I couldn't bare another 15 years without you."
"You're stuck with me this time." she promised. "I love you." she told him. "I love you so very much."
"I love you." he smiled.
"We should renew our vows." she suggested. "On the beach at sunset."
"Will you wear a bikini?" Robert asked.
"If you like." she laughed as she dropped her sheet. "But right now there's something else on my mind."
"Yeah?" he smiled.
Holly inched closer toward Robert and moved the crisp white sheet away from him. She slowly straddled him, moving her body tortuously against his. She placed a light kiss on his lips and then continued to trail them down his neck.
"Holly." he breathed. "Holly, look at me."
She pulled away from him. "What?"
In a surprising move he flipped her over onto her back. "I just wanted your attention."
"That wasn't fair." she said, looking up at him as he hovered above her.
His hand easily glided down the porcelain skin of her stomach. "What about this?" he asked as his hand ventured even lower.
She bit down on her bottom lip. "Robert." she moaned softly.
"Yes, luv?" he asked, concentrating on the task at hand.
"Please don't torture me."
"Well, since you asked so nicely." he began. "Maybe we can compromise." he told her, moving his hand away from her.
"You didn't have to go and do that." she protested.
"My beautiful Holly." he whispered. "Don't worry I'll take care of you."
He lowered himself against her, capturing her lips in a deep, mind numbing kiss. His weight sunk her further into the mattress as his demanding hands roamed her bare body with impatience and possession.
Holly encouraged him further shifting beneath him, allowing him entrance. Their rhythm started off slow and then steadily increased with Holly's pleading and begging and his overgrowing need for quick release.
Sticky with sweat, he collapsed against in sheer exhaustion. "That was incredible." he breathed out. "Entirely too quick, but incredible."
"We can go slow next time." she promised.
He rested his head on her shoulder. "So where do we go from here, Mrs. Scorpio."
"Everywhere, Mr. Scorpio." she told him as she gently stroked his hair. "Everywhere."
Finished.
