Thanks so much for the reviews, I hope you like this chapter! x
Harvey woke on Monday morning feeling a little worse for wear.
After the events of Friday night, he had drunk himself stupid for most of the weekend, feeling sorry for himself and wondering if he had permanently ruined things with Donna.
2 days.
I had been the longest they had gone without talking …ever.
Well, almost ever. The other 2 times had been when Jessica fired her and when she worked for Louis.
It wasn't lost on him that both times involved the words I love you.
As he lay in bed thinking about the day ahead, he was quickly consumed by thoughts of them.
"Look, I need you."
"Need?"
"Need."
"…I can't be me, without you."
"If anyone else ever loses faith in me, doesn't matter …but with you it's different"
He couldn't just leave things the way they were, he needed to see her. To fix things.
Harvey was in his office, busying himself with paper work until he had gathered up the courage to go and talk to her.
"Harvey I need the amendments to the Swinton merger" Louis announces, walking into Harvey's office.
"I gave them to Gretchen earlier"
"Thanks. Oh, have you seen Donna?"
"She's not here?"
"No, haven't seen her all day"
Harvey frowned.
"She's probably just not feeling well" Louis reasoned "I'll ask Rachel, she might know"
"Rachel, have you seen Donna?" Louis asks as he walks in to her office
"No, she's sick"
"Donna doesn't take sick days"
"Well she does today. I'm even picking up her dress from the drycleaners for her when I pick up mine. I think she just needs to take it easy for a few days"
"Can you tell her I hope she feels better soon?"
"Sure, Louis" Rachel smiles
It was late afternoon when Harvey found himself at her door.
206.
He stared at the numbers for a minute before he built up the courage to knock.
Donna opened the door, dressed in a simple white t-shirt and denim skinny jeans.
"Harvey, what are you doing here?"
"I needed to see you"
The familiar words rang in her ears.
"Can I come in, please?"
Donna stepped back, motioning for him to come inside, he made his way in to her living room.
"Harvey"
"Donna, I'm sorry"
"For what?"
"For the other night. For Paula. For all of it"
She sighs.
"I just couldn't do …that" she admits, her breath catching on the last word.
"We shouldn't have got carried away"
"Because of Paula?"
Harvey frowned, "No. Nothing to do with her"
"Donna, it shouldn't have happened the way it did. But I don't regret it happening"
"You don't?"
"Not for a second …and I don't blame you for not wanting to be with me. I've been an idiot"
"Is that why you think I left?" she asks, stunned.
"Well, yeah, you changed your mind"
"Harvey you don't realise how hard it was for me to stop"
He just looks at her, the confusion showing on his face.
"…I wanted nothing more than to let you have your way with me, but after fourteen years, I didn't want my first time with you to be some quick fuck in your kitchen after we had both drank too much and you had only just broken up with your girlfriend"
Idiot. He thinks to himself, how had he not thought of that?
"It was so intense and overwhelming and God, I wanted you so bad, Harvey, but suddenly it just didn't feel right. I felt cheap, like a consolation prize"
Her words felt like a smack in the face.
"Donna, do you really think I would ever think of you like that?"
She didn't answer, her eyes just dropping to the floor.
He could see the hurt in her face as she looked away. Hurting her was the last thing he ever wanted to do.
In that moment he could see the effects of denying his feelings for her for all those years. It had taken its toll. His fear of possibly losing her was the thing that had always prevented him from trying to break her dating rule. It was easier for him to bury any feelings and have Donna be by his side at work then to run the risk of crossing a line they couldn't turn back from.
The great Harvey Specter, the man who never backed down from a fight, had taken the easy way out.
…And he'd almost broken the most important person in the world to him in the process.
If only she knew.
"Donna I love you, I think the absolute world of you. You are the most incredible woman I've ever met and…"
Donna shook her head
"Harvey I know, I've heard you before, I know you care about me…"
"No, Donna, I love you. I am in love with you"
Donna was speechless, she felt like the air had drained from her lungs and suddenly she couldn't think straight.
"What?"
"I want to be with you, Donna. I don't want to waste any more time denying how I feel"
"Harvey…"
Harvey decided to prove it to her the only way he knew how, he took a step towards her, he cupped her face between his hands and pressed his lips against hers.
Donna's head was spinning. Surely she was dreaming, this couldn't be real.
His tongue moves against hers, deepening the kiss as they melt in to it. Donna grips his neck with one hand as the other holds on to his back tightly. Harvey's hands move down her sides, finding their way to her ass, swiftly lifting her up, making her moan in surprise against his mouth.
She wraps her legs around him as he turns towards her bedroom, making his way down the hallway.
Harvey puts her down by the foot of her bed, never breaking the momentum in kissing.
They had waited long enough.
Donna slips her hands underneath the jacket of Harvey's perfectly tailored Tom Ford suit, sending it to the floor before beginning to loosen his tie. Once the offending item was thrown behind him she begins on his shirt buttons, unbuttoning them one by one as his lips move to her neck.
Once he is free of his shirt, Harvey runs his fingers underneath the bottom of her t-shirt peeling it off her as quick as possible, eager to resume kissing her.
Donna strips him of his belt as he unbuttons her jeans, she steps out of them as she pushes his pants to the floor.
They stand in nothing but a white lace pantie set and boxer shorts, Donna slowly sits down on the bed, pushing herself backwards so that she is in the middle. Harvey takes a moment to look at her, captivated by her natural beauty.
In a flash Harvey is hovering above her, tenderly pushing a strand of hair off her face as he leans in to capture her lips once more. He kisses a trail from her lips down her neck, his hands move to undo her bra clasp as she arches her back. His fingers slip underneath the straps, gently removing the garment, exposing her perfect breasts.
Like a magnet, Harvey's lips are drawn to them, running his lips slowly down her right breast, gently swiping her nipple with his tongue as it crosses his path. When he reaches the bottom of her chest, he runs his tongue up the curve of the underside of her left breast, sucking her nipple gently in to his mouth as he reaches it, a loud breath escaping her lips as she relishes the feeling.
His hands slip under the lace of her panties, pulling them down as she lifts her hips, in a flash his mouth is on her, desperate to taste her again. Harvey slowly licks her clit and she instantly falls to pieces.
"Oh God" Donna breathes.
"Harvey" She moans as she remembers just how good he is with his tongue.
"Mm, you're so wet" he smirks, before sucking her clit in to his mouth.
"Oh fuck" Donna moans as she relaxes against the mattress, glancing down to see Harvey's eyes closed as he delves in to the rhythm he's creating against her, pulling her as close as he can to his mouth, he can't get enough. He looks up at her as she watches him licking her and she can't even form a coherent thought.
"Yes" she whimpers as her fingers creep in to his hair, balling in to fists.
She feels the vibration of his own moan against her and it's all it takes to send her over the edge.
Once she recovers from her orgasm, Donna pulls Harvey towards her, pushing against him so that he is lying on his back, her fingers slipping under the waistband of his boxer shorts, pulling them down in one swift motion.
Harvey's head drops back as she takes him in her mouth, a moan escaping his lips as she slowly bobs her head up and down, surrounding him with her warmth.
"Fuck" Is all he can manage to say.
Rachel knocks on Donna's door again …no answer.
"Maybe she's asleep?" Mike offers, standing behind his fiancée.
"Maybe. I'll just leave this in the closet for her" Rachel says, reaching for Donna's spare key.
Once inside Rachel checks again, "Donna?"
Still no answer.
"Yeah she must be out, poor thing"
"Let me just put this away for her and we can go" Rachel says, heading towards Donna's bedroom.
Rachel and Mike only make it about three feet down the hallway before they stop dead in their tracks at the sight in front of them.
The position of Donna's bedroom window and the dimness of the light at that time of day meant that they could only see their silhouettes, but there was no mistaking the identity of the two figures in front of them as Donna moved to straddle Harvey's lap, sinking down on him before beginning to bounce up and down on his thick length, her hands clinging to his neck.
Their presumption confirmed as Donna tilts her head back with a moan, "Ohh, Harvey"
Harvey moves one hand from her hip to the base of her head, gripping her neck as he pulls her face towards his for another kiss.
Mike and Rachel could not leave Donna's apartment fast enough, not from embarrassment but from feeling like intruders invading a long overdue intimate moment between two people who were meant to be together.
"Stop staring" Donna smiles, feeling Harvey's gaze on her without opening her eyes.
"I can't help it" he smiles "You're gorgeous"
Donna can't help but smile at the remark, opening her eyes.
"Always the charmer, Mr Specter"
He grinned, flashing the infamous 'Specter Smile' that always made her heart beat a little faster.
"You tired?"
"Surprisingly, no" She admits.
Surprising because they had just spent the better half of the last twenty-four hours making love and they were both running on very little sleep. Harvey had decided to take the day off work and they were loving every moment of just being together, in their own little world. It just felt …right.
A shrill ringing echoed through the room, from the floor.
"You should probably get that …what is it? The tenth time?"
"Nah, one of my favourite things to do is listen to angry voicemail messages from Louis"
"You're so mean" Donna laughs
"You're so perfect"
She smiles lovingly at him as he leans in to place a soft kiss on her lips.
"Ok, get up" Harvey instructs, smacking her ass playfully as he sits up in bed.
"What? Why?" she laughs, sitting up beside him.
"We're going out"
"Where?"
"It may be long overdue, but I am taking you out for our first date"
Hope you enjoyed it, stay tuned for their first official date!
