Ch1. Part 2- Late For Work

She broke the kiss trailing kisses to his neck as she sucked on it softly, causing him to groan with pleasure. Each time he thrusted into her hitting her spot her walls tightened around him, he was so far deep inside of her. "Oh god Ray," she moaned in pleasure.

He smirked," You like that huh?"

"Hell yeah!" She breathed, she could feel her climax rising as she tightened around him harder.

He picked up speed his thrusts becoming faster and harder each time. His own climax starting to rise as well, it was pure amazing pleasure.

She was only seconds away from her climax, and could feel it."mmmm Ray, more," she begged.

He loved the way she begged him for more, she felt so good surrounding him right now. He could feel how close to the edge she was. With one big thrust he sent her climaxing.

She held onto his shoulders moaning with pleasure at the feelings that soared through. She reached her climax within in seconds.

Soon after Ray reached his own climax, as he held her pinned up against the shower wall. Afterwards standing there, he set her back on her feet, water still cascading down on top of them." Damn that was good," he breathed.

She smiled," Yes it was," she agreed kissing him softly.

Ray was late for work and he knew it as he all but skidded into the ER at County General.

"You're late," Abby said from where she was grabbing a chart and heading off to exam a patient.

" Traffic," Ray lied, he headed to the locker room tossing his things in his locker, and pulling on the white lab coat. Just as he made it back to the desk, a GSW victim was rolled in, he took that and got right to work. The whole morning was filled with paitents,from as anything as little to a cut as huge as GSWs and stabbings.

Ray finished up with a little boy and presented to an attending, before he went to grab another chart. On his way to the desk he ran into Neela. " Hey," he said smiling when he saw her, it had been a while since he had talked to her.

" Oh hey Ray," Neela said," how's it going?"

" Been busy. How about you?"

" Me too," Neela said.

" Oh hey listen, are you free tonight?" he asked suddenly.

" Um, yeah why?"

" I thought it would be nice to have you over for dinner."

"Tonight?" she asked a bit hesitantly.

"Yeah at my apartment."

"Sure," she said after a moment wondering if this was a good idea." Uh can I bring anything?"

" Nope. Lexi's cooking so yah everything is good to go. We'll see you around 8pm, is that good?"

" Yeah, that's great. See you then," Neela said. As she continued in the direction she was heading, she couldn't help but think about Ray.

( Ray's Apartment- Later That Night)

To Neela it felt weird being here with Ray after he was married to someone else, even though she used to be married herself. Things were just so incredibly different now she tried to relax though and have a good time. After dinner they were getting ready to have dessert.

" I'll just bring the dessert out," Lexi said as she got up, she really wasn't sure how she felt about having Neela here, but she didn't want to be rude either. She was after all still Ray's best friend.

" I'll get it," Ray offered rising," you sit," he said w/ a smile.

"Uh okay," she said uncertain as she sat back down.

Ray left the table and went into the kitchen to retrieve dessert, leaving the two women together at the table.

" The colors look nice," Neela said lamely, searching for something to talk about.

"Uh thanks," Lexi said uncomfortably. She knew that Neela and Ray used to live together.

Luckily the girls didn't have to make anymore small talk because Ray had returned with the dishes of Tiramisu, "Okay ladies dessert is served," he said as he placed a dish in front of each of the women and then placed his own in front of him. " Dig in," he said with a grin picking up his spoon and taking a bite.

After dessert Ray was in the kitchen doing the dishes, he had sent Lexi to lay down.

Neela came into the kitchen," Can I help with anything?" she asked.

" Sure, you can dry if you want," he said as he washed a plate.

She picked up a dish towel and went to stand by him," You know what I miss?" she asked.

He passed her the plate," What's that?" he asked, as he started on the next plate.

"Movie night," she replied as she dried the plate putting it in the dish stand.

He grinned ," Yeah. All the best horror movies."

She playfully groaned," Now those I don't miss."

"Oh come on, you know you do," he said as he handed her another plate. For a few minutes they worked side by side washing and drying. When the last dish was done Ray was looking at her. She looked like she belonged in his kitchen, like she had never left.

" Maybe I do," she whispered, her heart suddenly start to pound in her chest.

Ray moved closer to her," you do."

"Maybe."

"Admit it, you do." He was standing so close to her now, if he leaned just a little bit..

"Okay. I love them," she said. She wanted him to kiss her, but she knew it was wrong.

He wanted to kiss her so badly, Geeze Barnett, what is wrong with you? You're wife is laying down in your bed, and you just made love to her in the shower this morning, and now you're thinking about someone else. He knew it was wrong but he just couldn't help it. His hazel eyes deepened with desire.
