They made it to the bedroom, but before he could put her on the bed, she asked to stand for a minute. Once her feet were on the ground, she unbuttoned his shirt and let it drop away. Then she ran her hands over his bare chest as she leaned up and kissed him. Once she had his full attention, she trailed her hands down and took a firm hold of him before unbuckling his belt. When she held him, he groaned into her mouth and pressed himself against her.

Alex slowly slipped his belt out of its loops then went to work on his pants.

"Hold me again," he whispered harshly into her ear.

"You mean…like this?" She teased as she rubbed him over his pants. "Or…", she pushed his pants down and slipped her hand into his boxers, "like this?"

He took a big, shaky breath, "Definitely like that!" She laughed softly at his response while she fondled him with one hand and pushed his boxers down with the other. When they reached his ankles, he stepped out of his pants and underwear and kicked them away.

He started to move her to the bed but she stopped him again. "Hang on a second."

He looked at her with curiosity, wondering what she was up to now. She pointed down at his feet, "Your socks." Then, much to his shock and excitement, she knelt down in front of him.

"Lift." She looked at him with bedroom eyes.

"Huh?" His look was that of utter confusion.

Smiling at him, she pointed at his foot, "Lift it…so I can remove your sock."

It took him a few extra seconds to respond to her because his mind was clearly on another task she could be doing while in her current position.

"Now the other one." She had humor in her voice, knowing she was driving him crazy. She knew she wasn't going to stand up until he got some satisfaction, but he didn't know that.

He offered her his other foot, and she carefully pulled that sock off as well. Once she tossed it aside, she put her hands on his calves then slowly ran them up the back of his knees and thighs, and then finally coming to rest on his ass. She tossed a quick look up at him to make sure she had his full attention; she was not at all surprised to know she had it. Then she cast her eyes back onto his cock and brought on hand around to grasp it. "Alex," with that one word, he was able to convey his intense desire for her. He was feeling breathless with anticipation.

She caressed him for a moment before she slid him into her mouth. When she did, he let out such a guttural groan that he startled her.

"Are you okay?"

He smiled at the concern in her eyes as she peeked up at him. "More than okay, Baby."

"Good." Her bedroom eyes were back. "Then let me get back to what I was doing."

"Alex…you don't have to…"

She was massaging his balls as she replied, "Have to? Are you kidding? I want to do this."

Her words almost made him fall over. He took a steadying breath. "But…but Alex, I don't want to, you know, not now anyway…Now…now I want to be with you, in bed, I want to be inside of you when I come."

She nodded at him. "Me, too. But let me just have a little fun." Then he watched her as she went back to work on him. She kept one hand on his ass, as the other one played with his balls, or ran up and down his shaft while her mouth did the same. She licked him from base to tip, kissed him, and put as much of him into her mouth as she could. She was more than impressed with his ability to hold out; she'd never been with a guy who could last as long as he did. His endurance during oral sex made her wonder what the night had in store for them. Just the thought of their love making lasting a long time made her bristle with excitement.

"Come up here." She was pulled from her thoughts when he put his hands on the sides of her head and guided her back to a standing position.

Cupping her face, he kissed her passionately. He tongue darted in and out, rough and quick, then he would slow down and gently caress her tongue with his before being rough with her again. The unpredictability, and the sexiness, of his kiss made Alex burn for him.

He laid her down on her bed, then pulled her hair out of its clip before joined her. He knew he needed to slow himself because he wanted to take his time with her. So, while lying next to her on his side, he gently held her chin in his hand and kissed her. He let the kiss take it's own course and before long their tongues were involved again and she leaned her body into his. He took this as a sign to move things along. Slowly, his left hand trailed down her neck to her right breast. He gently traced around it, then over her nipple before massaging her breast with what Alex thought was the perfect amount of pressure. She wasn't one bit surprised that he knew exactly what he was doing. She was enjoying the fact that he was taking initial control of this step in their newfound intimacy. Even though she was ready and willing, as evidenced by what she did earlier, she did feel a bit unsure of herself about what was to come. Knowing the reputation he's had over the years, she was afraid she wouldn't measure up to standards he may have been used to. Then, that thought took hold of her and she was suddenly fearful that he might regard her as nothing more than another notch on his bedpost.

Bobby picked up on Alex's apprehension. "Are you okay?" He asked, taking a break from their kiss.

"I'm fine."

He saw the look in her eyes and knew she wasn't being honest. He tilted his head to the side and spoke softly, "Having second thoughts?"

She quickly weighed her options in her head. She could ask him what this meant to him, or she could forget her wish to know how he felt and just give into her desire for the man. After all, she had wanted him, and had wanted for this to happen for as long as she'd known him.

"No, no. I guess I'm just a little overwhelmed that this...that we're...finally happening." It wasn't a total lie, but it wasn't the complete truth.

His eyes slowly scanned her from head to toe and she felt her body react to his scrutiny.

When he looked into her eyes again, he spoke. "Eames...I want you...very badly... but if you've changed your mind -"

"I haven't, Bobby." She quickly replied.

He thought that maybe she was just having some nerves. So, he decided to ease her mind the best way he knew how. He scanned her body again, this time trailing his hand over every part of her that his eyes searched. She closed her eyes and began to breath heavily when she felt him run his hand up and under her cami. The feel of his touch and the warmth of his fingers against her skin made her flush with desire and she couldn't help the groan that escaped her as his hand found her breast again.

He was watching her closely, he wanted to learn from every clue she gave in response to his touch. He smiled to himself when she groaned with pleasure as he caressed her breast, and he felt himself get even harder for her. He wanted her. He'd been waiting for almost ten years for this very moment, and as much as he would love to rush ahead and dive inside of her, he knew that that wasn't the right thing to do for either of them. He had to take his time and make sure that this was a night she wouldn't forget. He was afraid that if he screwed this up, she may be very happy to leave things as a one night stand. He was hoping for more time than that. He knew one night with her was not going to be enough for him.

He looked at her again and found her watching at him. "Daydreaming, Goren?"

He heard the lightness of her question and knew she was teasing him. "Only about you."

"Why dream when you've got me right here."

"You know… you're right." He flashed a small grin her way before kissing her quickly, then climbing on top of her. He rested on his knees as he slowly kissed her belly and pushed her cami up further and further until it was near her neck. Then he hovered over her, resting on his elbows as he took a breast in his mouth.

He heard her whine with pleasure as he vigorously sucked on her hardened nipple. He continued to swirl it around in his mouth, hoping to get her to make more noises. When she moaned his name he felt himself shiver with delight.

"You like that Alex?"

"Oh...god, yes."

Then he supported his weight on one hand and he used the other one to pull her cami off of her. She raised her hands over her head to allow him to take her shirt off of her, and then she felt him take her wrists in his hand and press her hands into the mattress while they were still above her head. "Keep these here, okay?"

He posed it as a question, but she could tell from his voice that it was more of a command. "Whatever you want, Bobby."

Her words momentarily stopped him in his tracks. "Careful what you say, Alex...you might not want to give me carte blanche here."

He had her in such a state of arousal already that she was willing to give him whatever he wanted. "I know I'd enjoy anything you'd want to do with me."

A devilish grin was plastered on his face. "You trust me that much?"

"Absolutely."

She did, too. She trusted him with her life.

Still braced on three of his four limbs, he ran his free hand down her body. Starting at her cheek, he slid his hand down her chest, over her breast, down her belly and finally stopping on her thigh which he gave a firm squeeze. She still had her pajama bottoms on, and he was enjoying feeling the silkiness of the fabric over her firm, muscular leg.

"You have a great body, Eames." His voice was deep with desire. She kept her eyes closed and just hummed her approval of his actions and his words.

When he reversed his hands' direction, he stopped at her hip and her belly and gently massaged her, reveling in being able to touch her after so many years of yearning to do so.

Dipping his head to leave a kiss near her belly button, he also scraped his cheek against her skin making her squirm and giggle. When he looked up at her with a boyish grin, she couldn't help but sigh. Even after all the years they'd been partners, and the fact that they both didn't look as young as they used to, she still thought he was the sexiest man she'd ever known.

"Hey." She said softly while she pulled one hand down and ran it through his hair.

"Hey." He replied back.

The caring he saw in her eyes was something he had seen before, but he never knew all of the emotions that were behind that look until just then. But as she lay underneath him, letting him explore her, he reminded himself just how lucky he was. Then he resolved to show her exactly what she meant to him.

He moved off of her long enough to pull her pants off of her and smiled when he saw she wasn't wearing panties. "Do you always go commando, Eames?"

She have him a wry grin, "That's for me to know…and you to find out." Her words led him to believe that she wanted more than one night, too, and he couldn't help the loopy smile that spread across his face. "I'll take that as a challenge." She gave him a knowing smile in return, then he lay down on top of her.

Starting at her neck, he trailed kisses down her, both knowing full well what his final destination was. When he reached it, he kissed her gently and found ready for him. "Ohhhh, you're so nice and wet, Eames."

"You made me that way." She said with a mixture of lust and humor.

Settling himself in front of her, he wound both arms under her thighs, then grasped her waist. The first touch of his tongue had her head spinning. She knew he wouldn't have to work on her for very long.

He swirled his tongue around her before slipping it inside with the precision of an expert.

"Oh christ, Bobby…you're damn good at this." She hated to think how he became so skilled.

He looked up at her, "I've been watching you for a long time, Eames," Gently, he kissed the inside of her thigh before finishing his thought, "and all that time, I was planning exactly how I would do this." Then he dove back inside of her and she shouted out, "Oh, Fuck!"

She could feel his beard against her thighs as he ate her out, knowing she would have scrape marks there in the morning and assuming she would be sore from the abrasion, but not caring one bit about either issue. She just let him work his magic because the roughness of his beard combined with the softness of his tongue and what it was doing to her had her on a high she'd never felt before. She knew right then and there that she'd never get enough of him.

Alex could feel herself nearing orgasm while his tongue was buried inside of her. She whispered to him, "I'm…almost…oh my god." He stayed just as he was as she came, and he felt her legs stiffen then go limp as he lapped up her juices which increased her climax. She panted as she involuntarily raised her hips but he held her down, making sure she got everything out of her orgasm. "Oh, fuck, Bobby…that was unbelievable." He kissed her thigh again, and she felt him wipe his chin on her leg, but when he looked back up at her, she could still see her cum glistening around his mouth.

She sat up and met him half way. "Look at you." She said as she kissed his mouth and his chin. He knew what she was doing and the thought that she was tasting herself on him nearly drove him insane.

He pushed her back onto the mattress, and he lay on top of her again.

He smiled back at her, then pushed her hair away from her face. "You're so beautiful, Alex."

She rolled her eyes, "Bobby…you really don't need charm me at this point…" she motioned to her naked body before she finished her snarky comment, "Don't you think it's a bit late for that?"

He shook his head and his serious expression let her know he wasn't in the mood for her humor. "Don't try and joke your way out of this. I told you that you're beautiful because you are, and because I've always wanted to tell you."

Embarrassed, she tried to turn away from him, but he held her chin in place. "Hey…look at me, please."

When she looked at him, she quickly lifted her mouth to his and he gladly kissed her back. As they kissed, he reached down between them, grabbed onto himself and rubbed her with the head of his cock. He didn't want to wait any longer, but then he thought of something.

"I have some condoms in my pants, I'll be right back." He went to move off of her.

She held onto his shoulders, "Bobby…I'm on the pill, and I haven't had sex without a condom since I was married."

He froze for a minute and stared at her. She continued speaking, "Are you always careful, too?"

He nodded his head.

"Good…then stay right here."

"You're sure, Alex? You'd trust me like that?"

"Absolutely."

He leaned down and kissed her again.

Supporting himself on his elbow, he whispered to her, "You're ready for this?"

She took a deep breath and slowly let it out, "God, yes."

Neither said another word as pushed himself deep inside of her. Once he was fully sheathed, he moved his hand back up and ran it through her hair. He was full of concentration, and he could hear his own shaky breath as he began to slowly move in and out of her.

They watched each other intently as they made love. It was an euphoric feeling for both of them; a culmination of so many things…yearning, desire, sexual attraction, and a partnership that had become the cornerstone of both of their lives.

He wanted to tell her so many things. He wanted to tell her that he'd dreamed of that moment for years, that she was the best thing that had ever happened to him, and that he loved her. But he didn't. He didn't want to overwhelm her.

His thrusts became more intense, and she lifted her hips to meet his, increasing the pleasure for both of them. They kept that pace for a while, and Alex could see little beads of sweat form on his forehead. She was right earlier, his stamina was just as impressive as she imagined.

"You feel so good, Bobby." She wanted to encourage him, to let him know how much she loved it.

His breathing was heavy, but he managed to nod and reply, "And you feel like heaven." The earnest and intense look in his eyes melted her.

Then he rested all of his weight on her and he moved his hands to her ass; cupping it and holding her firmly in place. Once he had her in the position he wanted, he rested his face near her neck and he drove deep inside of her. His thrusts were powerful and getting more so, but she took it all. She wanted anything he could give her. Finally, he rammed into her one more time, leaving himself buried deep, deep inside. She heard him grunt and she felt his whole body shutter as he panted into her neck.

--

"Did I hurt you?" He asked her as he lay on top of her several minutes later, still hard enough to stay inside of her.

"No, not at all." She kissed the side of his head for added reassurance, "You felt wonderful, Bobby."

Still feeling wobbly, he gathered what ever strength he could and hoisted himself onto his elbows. It was his turn to reassure her, "You're an incredible woman…and an incredible lover."

She gave him a genuine smile. "You brought it all out of me."

Her words made him feel warm all over.

--

The night held more opportunities for them. They stayed up and continued to enjoy each other well into the night.
