Chapter 8 - Nothing's gonna stop us now
Addison woke up to find sunlight shining into the room through the gaps in the curtains. She moved to stretch out when her food suddenly kicked something and she hissed at the impact, at the same time hearing a grunt of pain come from the body beside her.
She turned around slowly to find her face inches away from Alex's and his breath hitting her cheek lightly. He was still sleeping soundly, despite her efforts to beat him up. He looked younger when he slept; the smirk often associated with him was gone and in its place was a peaceful smile.
She lifted his arm from around her waist gently and slipped out from beneath the blanket which covered them both. Alex rolled on to his back, stretching his arm out to the empty bed beside him as if he was subconsciously searching for her.
Addison padded softly to the bathroom glancing at the clock on the way. Plenty of time before she had to be at the hospital, she had always been an early riser. She left Alex sleeping peacefully while she jumped in the shower.
Alex opened his eyes slowly, throwing a hand up to his face to block out the light. He stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above his head in confusion while his brain tried to remember where he was. It came flooding back to him after a moment and he glanced around the room for any sign of Addison, a smile lit up his face as the memories of the previous night returned to him.
He heard running water coming from the bathroom which seemed to answer the question of where she had gone to. A few minutes later he heard the water shut off before the bathroom door opened softly while she crept back in to the room.
He cleared his throat loudly and laughed as she jumped a foot in to the air.
"Oh…I didn't know you were awake, you scared me." She said blushing as she wrapped the towel tighter around her body. She had stupidly forgotten to take clothes in to bathroom with her, so she had had no choice but to venture out in her towel and hope he was still asleep.
"Uh…sorry…good morning," Alex stammered as he stared at her towel clad body. He couldn't help but stare at the water dripping from her hair on to her bare shoulders or the drops running down her long legs and in to the carpet.
"Good morning to you too. I was going to leave you sleeping for as long as I could before we have to get to the hospital. Since you're awake, do you want to take a shower?"
Alex considered making some dirty comment about the two of them taking a shower together but he bit his tongue. Instead he just nodded and made his way towards the bathroom, pausing to kiss her softly on the way.
Addison sighed and her fingers lingered on her lips where he had kissed her long after he had disappeared in to the bathroom. She slipped her robe on and sat down at the dresser to make a start drying her hair.
Alex emerged from the shower a while later and stopped in the doorway to the bedroom to just watch her for a while. She noticed him in the mirror eventually and her face broke out into a genuine smile. Her eyes lingered on his bare chest before moving down slowly, following the thin line of hair on his stomach that disappeared in to the waist band of his jeans.
He walked over to her and leaned down to kiss her, his hands brushing through her hair.
"Hey hands off, you'll mess it up and I just this second finished brushing it," She pulled away slightly with a grin on her face. Alex pulled her up from the stool she sat on and dipped her backwards, threading his fingers firmly in to her hair to misplace it as much as possible.
She pushed on his shoulders half heartedly and mumbled a protest which was unheard as his mouth devoured hers. Addison stopped even pretending to push him away and pulled him closer instead, forgetting all about her hair, about having to get ready for work…she forgot everything in that moment. The only thing that she could concentrate on was his lips and hands on her body.
Alex stood her upright again as his hands explored her body fully, slowly inching inside of her robe to feel her soft skin. She gasped at the first touch of his cool hands on her heated flesh and responded by tracing random patterns on his bare chest.
He seemed quite content to kiss her forever and was in no hurry to take it any further. Addison on the other hand was becoming increasing frustrated at his light caress and was desperate for more. She pressed her body against his firmly, her robe slipping off her shoulders in the process revealing more skin to Alex.
He pressed butterfly light kisses to her neck and collarbone before moving back up to her face to cup her cheeks. Her hands reached down for the zip on his jeans to loosen them but he stilled her hands with one of his own.
"Addison…are you sure? I don't want to rush you…maybe now isn't the - "
"Don't you dare say now isn't the right time," She cut him off before he had finished speaking. "I'm sure Alex, I've never been surer of anything…"
The sound of her voice almost pleading with him was enough of an answer and he reached down to untie her robe, pushing her gently backwards towards the bed. He slipped it off her shoulders and dropped it to the floor, all the time his eyes fixed on her body.
Addison blushed under his intense gaze but she held her head up high and met his eyes as he raised them to hers.
"You're beautiful," He whispered against her lips as he leaned in to kiss her again. She melted under his touch and gave herself over completely to the feelings he was evoking within her. His hands were everywhere and his mouth followed them, never too far behind.
She got his jeans off eventually and his boxer shorts soon followed leaving the two of them totally exposed to each other. She sighed when she felt his hands move lower down her body, touching her in all the right places before they reached their final destination. She groaned out loudly and felt him smile against her neck where his lips were currently hard at work.
Addison felt her heart pounding in her chest. She wasn't nervous as such; she couldn't explain how she felt at that particular moment. There were so many emotions rushing through her body, most of which she couldn't really describe. She felt elated to have Alex touching her, apprehensive about where their relationship would take them, scared about what would happen when people found out, but most of all she felt safe and content in his arms.
When her first orgasm crashed over her body she called out his name and clung on to him as hard as she could. He kissed her while she came down from her high, keeping his fingers working to prolong her pleasure. She opened her eyes when the waves of pleasure started to recede and met his brown ones staring directly at her.
"Hey," He grinned at her, some what cockily but she could see the genuine smile on his lips as well. He waited for some kind of signal from her before he made any other move. She ran her hands down his back and gripped his ass which was all the prompting he needed from her.
When he finally slipped in to her it was pure bliss for the both of them. He moved slowly at first before building up speed. He grabbed hold of her hands and joined their fingers together, resting them on the bed beside her head. Addison smiled at the gesture; somehow it seemed more intimate than the sex itself.
She reached her peak and it was enough to send him over the edge as well. Their mouths were glued together but the kisses became less frantic as they recovered, no less passionate just slower and more relaxed. He showered her face with light kisses before he pulled out of her and rolled them both on to their sides.
"Thank you," She whispered softly.
"For what? Believe me I enjoyed it just as much as you did."
"I noticed," She giggled, shocking herself that she was even capable of making such a noise. "We are so late for work right now."
"Yeah well that's ok for you. You happen to be a well respected attending who can show up for work late without getting wrong. I on the other hand will be forced to clean up vomit and do sutures in the pit for days," He grumbled.
"Aww is someone jealous?" Addison teased him gently, laughing at the scowl on his face. She leaned forward and kissed him wiping the frown from his face quickly. "We should get dressed and go to work, even though we are beyond late now."
"I suppose so," He let out an exaggerated sigh and rested his head against her shoulder, kissing her lightly.
Addison dragged herself in to an upright position and clambered out of the bed with a bed sheet wrapped around her. As much as she would love to stay in bed with Alex for the whole day she knew she had to get ready for work. She pulled some clothes from the wardrobe and turned around to find him still laying in bed watching her every move.
"Ok now I'm not kidding, get up," She said as sternly as she could.
"Hey woman you aren't the boss of me."
"Oh I beg to differ. If you are good and get out of bed now I might even request you on my service today so you can avoid punishment in the pit."
He laughed and reluctantly got out of bed, mumbling under his breath the entire time about blackmail. Addison just laughed and disappeared in to the bathroom.
Am i forgiven? I gave you addisex so i think i should be. Keep the reviews coming please, right now i really can't think of any witty comments to say to beg you to review. Just be nice and do it for me, please.
