Chapter 10
One Year. They have been together for one year. Harvey had it all planned. Everything was to his credit and his alone.
He dressed in his best suit, had Grammy Ross' approval and Jessica signed off on their two week vacation. Now he was just waiting for his lover to come home.
All day Mike has been thinking about today. He was nervous because he knew Harvey was planning something. He had something special to tell Harvey.
When he walked into the penthouse the only sound he heard was one of Harvey's jazz records playing. He smiled, it was the same one Harvey played his first night in the penthouse after they moved him in.
He removed everything but his pants. Something they agreed on the week after they started dating, because walking around naked was dangerous. They were always jumping each other, so they changed their minds to pants or underwear.
"Harvey, babe, where are you?"
Harvey walked out of the bedroom and smiled, "Hey I was waiting for you."
"I can see that."
They moved and met each other in the middle. Harvey pulled Mike into his arms and started moving in a slow dance. He kissed the younger man softly.
"Happy one year anniversary, Mike."
"Happy one year, Harvey."
"I have the whole night planned. First we'll finish this dance, then you'll get dressed. Ray is going to drive us to the restaurant."
"Okay."
Soon the song ended and so did the dance. Mike walked into the bedroom and spotted a suit laying on the bed. He felt Harvey behind him and a feather light kiss on his neck.
"That is for you to wear tonight."
Mike nodded. He grabbed a quick shower then dressed in the suit. Walking back in the main room he spotted Harvey on the phone.
Harvey ended his call with Donna and held out a hand for Mike. The younger man smiled and took it. They left the apartment and met Ray outside.
"Happy Anniversary Mr. Specter, Mr. Ross."
"Thanks Ray." Mike replied.
"Thanks Ray."
Harvey ushered Mike into the car and took his hand again. The ride to the restaurant was quiet.
Ray dropped them off at the door and parked the car. He sent a text to Donna, then got out and went in.
Donna got Ray's text and told everyone to quiet down. They waited for the happy couple.
Mike and Harvey walked in, and all their friends yelled surprise. Mike was shocked, he looked at Harvey and saw the smirk. He planned this.
"Your idea?"
"Yes. Do you like it?"
"I love it. I love you."
"I love you too. Just one more thing."
Mike watched Harvey get down on one knee and pulled out a small black box. He opened it revealing a simple platinum band with a small diamond in the middle. Mike was speechless and everyone went quiet.
"Michael Ross, I love you. I fell for you the first day we met. You are everything I was looking for, more than I ever thought I would need or want. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, making you happy and loving you. Will you marry me?"
Mike look at him. He felt the tears threatening to fall. Finally he smiled and nodded.
"Yes Harvey."
Harvey smiled brightly, put the ring on and got up pulling Mike into his arms and kissed him deeply. All around them their friends and family cheered. They were pulled apart by Donna and Rachel, then hugged and patted on the back by everyone.
Mike was surprise to see his Grammy. She hugged them both and told him that if his parents were here they would be happy for him and would approve of Harvey. Mike felt the tears fall as he hugged her again and thanked her.
Everyone talked and laughed the rest of the night. The happy couple stayed attached to the hip all night. Mike didn't mind. Harvey wanted Mike close all night, he knew it was selfish but a part of him, the possessive part, didn't care. He wanted to remind everyone that Mike was his.
Conversations continued through out dinner. The newly engage couple made their own personal bubble out whispered words and soft touches.
"I love you. Of all the words I know, none of them can explain how much." Mike whispered, touching the back of Harvey's hand lightly.
Harvey grabbed the hand, kissed the knuckles then leaned towards Mike placing his lips close to his ear.
"I love you too. More than anything. There are no words to express how happy I am right now. When we get home I plan on showing you." He kissed the lobe before sucking it into his mouth and nipping it sharply.
He smiled when he heard Mike's soft gasps. Harvey leaned back and looked at his soon-to-be husband. Mike's eyes were glazed over, pupils blown with lust and his face was flushed. Not caring about all the people around them, Harvey grabbed Mike's chin and pulled him forward. He kissed the younger man chastely at first, then deepen it when Mike responded immediately.
Mike put one hand on the side of Harvey's neck and the other on his knee. Harvey moved his to Mike's hair and placed the other under the jacket, sliding under the waistband. Mike shifted closer when Harvey pulled the back of his shirt out of his pants. That hand slid back under the waistband and gripped his ass cheek. He tried but couldn't suppress the moan.
"You two cut that out." Donna spoke loudly in a firm voice.
They broke apart and looked at her. Each one gave her a dopey smile. She rolled her eyes and shook her head. Her boys were going to give her gray hair before her time.
"Sorry Donna. Blame it on Harvey, he started it."
Donna gave him a stern look, "Now pup, you know better than to place all the blame on Harvey. You might want to look down at your hand."
Mike looked and saw that his hand was squeezing Harvey through his pants. He quickly moved his hand and felt his face flush. He heard Harvey's low chuckle and glared at the older man.
"Harvey don't laugh at the puppy. I know where your hand is, so move it. You two will keep your hands off one another for the next hour or so, or I will separate you. Understand?"
Harvey glared at Donna. Mike nodded, "Yes Ms. Paulsen. We'll behave."
"Nobody likes a smartass Mike ."
Mike laughed as she walked away. He turned his head and saw that Harvey was still glaring.
"Stop glaring. You know she won't do that. She just wants us to behave." He spoke low enough so that only Harvey heard him.
Harvey looked at the other man. "She will. I won't allow it, you are mine."
"I'm yours and you are mine. There is no one in this world that will separate us. No matter what, for better or worse you are stuck with me Harvey Specter."
Harvey smiled. "I like the sound of that. Now lets mingle again before Donna comes back."
After dinner they said good-bye to Mike's grandmother who had to go back to the nursing home. Half hour later Louis said his byes and wished them luck. The rest of the party lasted til ten, when the restaurant owner told them he was closing. Harvey rushed their good-byes, thanked everyone and then dragged Mike out the door.
Donna and Ray shared a look before the driver followed the two men out the door. He drove them home thanking his lucky stars that neither man was undressing in the backseat. Ray laughed when Harvey rushed Mike out of the car before it stopped completely. After a quick text to Donna to let her know her boys were home, he went home himself.
Other than holding Mike's hand, Harvey kept a safe distance away in the elevator. He could barely keep himself under control. As soon as the doors open he rushed them into the penthouse slamming Mike against the door attacking his mouth and stripping away his clothes.
Mike could barely process what was happening. What he did know was that he was against the door, his shirt and jacket were off and Harvey was sucking and licking on his neck. The man's hands traveled down his body until they reached his pants. He had to slow this down or end up fucked against the door, something he didn't want at the moment.
He grabbed Harvey's wrists. "Harvey, love, you got to stop."
Harvey heard his name and stop. Those two words were never said without 'don't' between them. Something was wrong. He took a step back and looked at Mike. The younger man had love, lust and worry on his face.
Harvey frowned in confusion, "Baby what's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
"No, I'm fine. We just needed to slow down. I don't want to be fucked against the door." He laughed, "well not tonight, any other night but tonight and our wedding night,"
Harvey let out a sigh of relief, "Oh I thought something was wrong. Alright lets finish this in the bedroom."
He grabbed Mike's hand and moved towards their room. He barely moved two steps before Mike stopped him. He let out a groan of frustration, Mike laughed.
"Babe wait there is something I want to tell you before you melt my brain."
"What is it?"
"Well I met with the Dean today. We had a long discussion about my work. He a copy of my transcripts and to my surprise he had the papers from the last Dean."
Harvey was starting to worry. "What happened, Mike? What did he say?"
"Well I thought I was in trouble, but before I could say anything he held up a hand. I closed my mouth and waited for him. He told me that he was impressed with my transcripts and not so impress with what the attached notes said. He asked me to explain what happened. So I told him the truth."
"Okay so then what?" Harvey asked moving to sit on the couch.
Mike followed. "The guy just nodded at me. After a moment he asked what happened to the daughter, I told him she graduated. He stood up walked out and came back five minutes later. When he sat back down he told me that for the next two months someone was going to observe me, follow me, if things go well then he will order my LSATs and if I pass over 175 he'll transfer me to law classes or Columbia. Babe I was shocked."
"Right now so am I. You said you got a 180 when you took it the first time."
"I did. Hell I passed the bar the first time."
"Three years, almost four, and you neglected to tell me you took and passed the bar."
Mike laughed, "Sorry. Short story, Trevor, Jenny and I were drunk one night. Trevor bet that I couldn't pass the bar exam, Jenny laughed and told us she'll back that bet, that fifty bucks says I don't pass. We wrote the bet down, signed the bottom. The next day after I deemed myself sober I went and took the exam. The results came in and I was a hundred dollars richer."
Harvey shook his head, "I crammed for two weeks straight to take that fucking test and damn near gave myself a heart attack during. And you go in with a goddamn hangover, no studying and pass. I don't know if I should laugh or kick your ass."
Mike shrugged, "Your choice. But wait there is more to my talk with the Dean."
"What else?"
"He told me he wouldn't get insulted if I wanted to go to Columbia and if that's what I pick, he'll write to the Dean there. He also said there is a good chance that no matter which school I pick I'll be graduating in a year. Harvey in two months I will have a college degree from NYU and in a year I'll have a law degree." He smiled.
Harvey couldn't believe his ears. The man he loved was going to be an official lawyer in a year. Seeing Mike this happy, made him want to tell everyone they know. He'll settle for the girls and Grammy.
"That's great Mike. I'm happy for you. What are you going to pick?" He leaned forward and kissed him.
" I think Columbia, no offense to NYU, but Columbia is better. Its no Harvard but it will do."
"Don't worry, baby, Jessica will still keep you at the firm."
"I know." He kissed Harvey, "Now what do you say we get back to what we started at the restaurant."
Harvey was on his feet in a flash and pulling Mike into the bedroom. Now that his body was calm, he was able to do things slow like he first planned. He spent the rest of the night slowly driving them both over the edge. They fell asleep wrapped around one another.
The next morning Mike woke up first. He looked at the alarm clock, it was ten and he remembered it was Friday and that they had to be at work. Mike needed to be at school in two hours. He sat up and looked at Harvey who was still sleeping.
"Babe wake up. We overslept again." He shook the other man.
"Go back to sleep Mike. I'll do you later." Harvey mumbled and rolled over.
Mike pulled that sheet down and spanked Harvey. He knows he'll be paying for it. Quicker than he could blink Harvey had him flat on his back with hands above his head and his lover laying on top of him glaring. Mike finally did blink and couldn't help but smile.
"I've told you not to do that. You can pinch, squeeze, rub, kiss, caress and push your heels into my ass but don't ever slap or spank it."
"Sorry babe. I was trying to get you up. Its Friday and its ten. We overslept again and I have school in two hours."
Harvey groaned and mentally kicked himself. He forgot that Mike didn't know about their vacation. He kinda deserved that spanking. He sighed and looked at the younger man.
"No I'm the one who is sorry. It was suppose to be a surprise, I was suppose to wake you up."
Mike smiled, " Honey what are you talking about?"
Harvey smiled in return, "I like that. Anyways we don't have work or school for two weeks. You and I are going on vacation."
"Where are we going?"
"Miami. A client who's wife works in real estate managed to get a friend from Miami to let us rent a beach house."
Mike was excited. He always wanted to go to Florida. He leaned up and kissed Harvey.
"When do we leave?"
"Plane leaves at two, Ray will be here at one. We have time." He answered pressing his hips down on Mike's.
"No we don't. We need to shower, pack, go to the office because there are files that I need to do, go to the school and get my work and by the time we get all that done we need to be at the airport."
"Mike someone else can do the briefs. And your teachers will give you an extension since you're ahead in all your classes."
"I know babe, but I don't trust any other associate with your briefs and I really rather do the work for school now then think about it during our vacation. I can do it all on the plane and be done before we arrive in Miami."
Harvey couldn't resist, "Care to make a bet?"
Mike smiled, "Alright, sure."
"If you get it done before, I'll let you do whatever you want while we're in Miami."
"And if you win?"
"If I win we do whatever I want."
"Do you want to be specific?"
"Nope. As long as its within reason and not dangerous."
"Okay, you're on." Mike leaned forward and kissed him. "Now get up. We have things to do."
Mike made Harvey pack his bag while he got a shower then they switched. With bags packed, showers done and breakfast eaten, they left the penthouse when Ray showed up. He took them to the office first.
When they arrived Harvey made a comment about it being the first time he came in to work in jeans. Mike laughed and told him he'll live. They went to Mike's desk first, everyone was watching, and got the files. Then Harvey wanted to go to his office, so they went.
They were met by three women who's arms were crossed and sporting 'what the hell are you doing' looks. After a lecture from Donna they were left alone to do what they came for and left the office without anymore problems. The trip to the school was quicker and they made it to the airport with an hour and a half to spare.
Mike sat next to Harvey, absentmindedly turning the ring on his finger.
Harvey turned his head and looked at Mike. The younger man was playing with his ring lost in thought. He couldn't stop the smile that formed on his lips. He was really happy that Mike agreed to marry him. Harvey hoped that it wasn't a long engagement. He put his hand on Mike's to get his lover to look at him. When he did, Harvey asked.
"How long do you want our engagement to last?"
Mike smiled, "However long you want. To me, we're already married."
"According to everyone at the office we've been married for the last three years."
"I know. So I don't care how long we wait."
"We may not but I know three women who do. If I didn't like living, I would change our tickets to Vegas."
Mike laughed. "Me too. How about a year? We'll get married after I graduate, it will be the last thing I do as Mike Ross."
Harvey had to contain his excitement that threaten to control him. "Really? I mean we haven't talked about it yet but I figured you wanted to keep your name."
"Harvey I want to have your name. I want other people to know that we're married and happy."
"I want that too."
Harvey leaned over and kissed him. It was quick kiss because their plane was boarding. They separated and went to their gate. After they settle in their seat, Mike remember he forgot to give Harvey his gift. He opened his bag and pulled out the box and handed it to the other man. Harvey looked at him with one brow arched.
"Its your gift. I forgot to give it to you last night."
Harvey nodded and opened it. Inside was a platinum band with an inscription on the inside that read, 'Always, MJS.' He didn't know what to say. He looked at Mike again.
"Did you know or were you going to?"
"No and no. Honey, even if you didn't propose last night I would have given you that ring. I wanted to give you something that would explain how much I love you and show you just how much. You're it for me, Harvey."
Harvey felt the tears in his eyes, "You're it for me too. Thank you."
He kissed Mike with everything he was feeling. He broke the kiss when he felt Mike sliding the ring on his finger. He looked at it and smiled. Both men knew they have to wait and they were okay with that.
Mike started the files first. Whenever he finished one he would hand it to Harvey to look over. After those were done, he did his school work. Completing them with an hour to spare. He turned to Harvey and gave him a big smile. The other man just shook his head and kept quiet.
The rest of the flight was uneventful. They landed, rented a car and drove to the house. It sat right on the beach. To Mike's opinion it was breathtaking. The house was big but small enough for two people. Inside was open, the long counters of the kitchen was the only thing that separated the rooms.
The bedrooms were large, bigger than their rooms in Maine and the penthouse. Mike's favorite room was the bathroom. The room was almost equal in size of the bedroom. It had a double sink with a long vanity, separate tub and shower. The tub was big with jets, the shower could fit four people comfortably with multiple shower-heads.
After touring the house they set their bags in the bedroom and left to go to the store for food. They got back and put everything away, then sat on the couch.
"So what do you want to do first?" Harvey asked carding his fingers through Mike's hair, causing the younger man to purr. Harvey loved that sound.
"Whatever you want."
"Now Mike you won the bet, we do what you want."
"Fine. Lets go to dinner, walk it off on the beach, come back here tryout the tub and then go to bed. We'll do more tomorrow."
Harvey kissed the side of his head. "Good plan. Come on."
He pulled Mike off the couch and they left the house. The rest of the night they did as Mike planned.
The two weeks were fun and went by too fast. They drove around Miami, walked or played on the beach for hours, swam in the ocean, made love in the water late at night when no one else was around. They fucked in the shower every morning, made love in tub every night after multiple rounds of sex on various surfaces of the house.
Both men were sated, happy and sore in all the right places by the end of the two weeks. Neither man wanted to leave, but reality and work were calling them back.
The first day back, they wanted to go right back home. Jessica had Harvey in meetings all day, what time he did have in between were spent talking to clients and setting up meetings with them. For Mike, he spent his morning working on files Jessica gave him and files Donna told him Harvey needed for his clients. By noon both were done and he was on his way to school. The rest of the day was easy for him.
He met the person who was going to follow him, a professor who happen to be the Dean's cousin. She and Mike got along well. His professors were happy with his completed work and started him on the next section, which was way ahead of the class. By the end of the day his workload doubled, he didn't mind since he was almost done with school.
For the next several weeks their time together was short. Harvey worked late, Mike spent nights at the penthouse doing school work and briefs. He was always asleep before Harvey came home.
Harvey was feeling overworked and sexually frustrated. All he wanted was a few hours alone with Mike. Everyday they barely had five minutes before Mike went to school. At night Mike would bring him dinner, they spent that time telling each other about their day then Mike had to go home.
Coming home late pisses Harvey off, his lover was always asleep and he didn't want to wake him. Instead he jacks off in the shower, climbs into bed spooning against the younger man and goes to sleep, just to wake up and do it all again.
Finally after a month, they get a weekend to themselves. Mike prepares for it. Getting everything they liked so they didn't have to leave. Friday he did the shopping, visit Grammy and went home. He undressed but kept a pair boxer-briefs, Harvey's favorite pair, then waited for the other man.
Harvey could barely contain himself the whole day. Thoughts and plans for their weekend had him hard all day, forcing him to wear his jacket. He didn't mind one bit. Walking through the door and seeing Mike in nothing but those damn boxer-briefs almost had him coming in his pants right there.
He closed and locked the door, turning in time to see his lover walk into their bedroom. He stripped and followed, he was naked by the time he reached the room. Mike was naked as well and spread out on their bed stroking his cock and smiling at Harvey.
Sex Scene Starts
Harvey didn't waste any time. He climbed into the bed and covered Mike with his body. He kissed him slowly and deeply, savoring the taste of his lover. They broke apart to fill their lungs with air. Using his hands to map out the body under him, he started kissing Mike again. This time kissing and nipping his jaw, moving to kiss the spot behind the ear, nipping the lobe sharply earning a gasps, he kissed and marked every inch on Mike's neck and moving to do the same to the other side and the collarbone.
Mike's hands touched every where he could reach. His blunt nails raked over Harvey's nipples then down his sides over his taut belly, smiling when the flesh quivered. He moved his hands, placing one through Harvey's hair and the other on his back. His own back arched when his lover sucked on one nipple while rolling and pinching the other with his thumb and forefinger, with a quick bite he switched nipples.
After giving the second the same treatment, he nipped his way down Mike's body. Harvey was painfully hard but ignored it in favor of drawing out a collection of moans, groans, gasps, and whimpers from Mike. He loved those sounds, loved getting Mike to make those sounds. He placed bites and marks on Mike's hips and thighs.
When he was satisfied he moved back up kissing the base of Mike's cock before using his tongue to slowly lick up the underside. He dipped the tip of his tongue into the slit then covered the head with his mouth, sucking hard.
Mike thrust his hips up only to have hands push them back down. He loved feeling Harvey mouth around his cock but the feeling was short and he let out a dissatisfied whimper.
Harvey smiled at the sound, moved up and kissed his lover again. He reached into the nightstand drawer and grabbed the lube. Coating his fingers he slowly opened the younger man, not once touching the prostate, that made his lover start begging. Harvey removed his fingers, covered his cock in lube and slid slowly in the tight heat.
Mike wrapped his legs around Harvey pressing his heels into the man's ass and pushing him in deeply. He heard the groan and smiled, tightening his legs when his lover rolled his hips and began thrusting.
Harvey never wanted this to end. The tightness of Mike's ass around his cock and those legs around his waist with heels digging into his own ass was sending him over the edge quickly. He reached between them and stroked Mike in time with his thrusts. They came at the same time yelling each other's name. He continued moving through the aftershocks, then collapse on Mike turning them to their sides and holding him close until their breathing returned to normal.
Sex Scene Ends
Both men dozed off and woke up an hour later. They grabbed a shower, dressed in boxers and sat back to chest on the couch. The volume on the television was low and neither paid attention.
"Can we stay like this?" Mike whispered.
Harvey kissed one of his marks. "Until the couch becomes uncomfortable."
Mike smiled, "Good."
They spent the rest of the weekend doing just that. Stopping long enough to eat or relieve bladders. Their couch time was spent talking about what they wanted to do for the wedding or whispering what they wanted to do to each other. There was no talk of work or school.
Sunday they spent half the day in bed until both were sore and would need hours to recover. The next half was spent cleaning and doing laundry. Mike made a romantic dinner. They ate and exchanged small touches. When everything was cleaned up, they stripped and went to bed. That night they just laid there wrapped around one another.
Harvey had loved their weekend. He made a mental note to ask Jessica for a least two weekends a month. He may be name but it was still Jessica's firm. One day he was going to buy an equal share. First he wanted to marry Mike, settle into the married life then advance his career. Mike would always be first.
He didn't think it was possible to love someone so much that it could consume you. Mike felt that way with Harvey, he never wanted to lose this feeling. He couldn't wait to marry the man and change his name, he wanted everyone to know how much he loved Harvey Specter.
When it comes to love, you just got to make a plan and risk it all to grab it and be happy.
~Fin~
A/N: I know the school thing is not really believable but I just wanted Mike to have want he always dreamed of.
