Loyalties series: Bond and M advance their relationship to the next level.

Dating the Boss

The text appears on Bond's phone. 8pm, the Gales don't be late.

Bond has to stifle his smile as Q continues to tell him about this or that to do with the scanner he is holding.

"007 am I boring you? I say what has you so happy all of a sudden?"

"I have a date Q."

"Really…that does not seem surprising so let's focus on work shall we. I don't think you should try M's patience and arrive late to meet her."

Bond's face falls into shock. How did Q know…only Tanner knows about him and M. "Why…would she?"

"Well, you are to report to her immediately after seeing me aren't you?"

"Yes…I am…I should be getting there now. I don't want to keep the evil queen of numbers waiting."

Bond bolts out of Q's lab. "That man…hasn't been right since they got back from America. I wonder if it has anything to do with M's new boyfriend…Dr. Mallard?"

Q's assistant just nods knowing full well that the office gossip is that M found a new love on her recent trip and that the good doctor has come to visit her in London.

Something has been going on M has had mood swings that have the staff trembling in fear at times. Lately since her friend's visit, M has been in a very good mood. Love will do that to you, or so Q has heard.

Bond makes it to M's office in record time. He says hello to Moneypenny and Tanner as he exits M's office.

"Oh good you are here. She wants to see you now. Eve would you like to join me for lunch?"

"I would be delighted Mr. Tanner. Bond don't you go through my office while I'm out."

"Don't worry Eve. Bond will be busy with M." Tanner winks at Bond as he guides Eve away from the office.

Bond enters and locks the door behind him. M looks up from her work as Bond approaches and moves around her desk quickly and pulls her up to him. Bond smothers her mouth with a passionate kiss…pressing against her forcing her to walk over to the side of the room and back on to the sofa.

"Bond…your pushing me again."

"M…M stop thinking and let me enjoy this before you pull away….I want you so badly I can barely think straight any more."

"You thought straight before….really? I would attest to some rather dubious decisions in your past that beg to differ."

"Christ woman stop being so bloody logical. I have never had a woman in my grasp able to resist me the way you do…what are you made of steel?"

"Iron and so what if I'm made of sterner stuff than your multitude of conquests."

"Oh here we go again…you love to rub that in but you are no innocent…jumped into bed with Ducky after knowing him 24 hours…I say that mission was on par with any of mine."

"Really…you think I have questionable tastes do you? Well, that hardly says anything about you now does it."

"I think my dear boss that you and I are ready for the next step."

"Oh you do, do you? Right here and right now…on my sofa in my office."

"Tanner took Moneypenny for lunch and I locked the door."

"My, my….Bond you have thought of everything…"

Bond pulls M down on his lap on the sofa where he peppers her neck with kisses. M sighs in contentment as his hand finds its way to unbutton her blouse.

M stills his hand. "What do you think you're doing?"

"But Mmmmmm….the door is L..o..c..k..e..d."

"I am not having our first time on the bloody sofa, like a teenager."

Bond is cupping her breast after doing her buttons back up for her.

"There you are decent again…but you feel too tense…let me relax you so that you can think about continuing this at your flat tonight after dinner."

"About that…you know that we have to be careful…I will be shaking my guard to join you at the restaurant."

"I can pick you up…you know."

"Bond be serious…no one can know beyond Tanner and I think Moneypenny is a bit suspicious now. We need to keep this affair quiet."

"Affair…I need a bit more than these sexually frustrating make out sessions with you to constitute this as an affair. Not to mention that neither of us is in a relationship, therefore no affair."

M lies her head in the crook of Bond's neck inhaling his cologne and closing her eyes in near perfect contentment.

The past few months have been a flurry of activity and now that she is effectively dating one of her agents, M keeps waiting for the shoe to drop. When and where will this illicit love of her's be uncovered and brought to the attention of the PM.

M is trying to keep him at arm's length but damn it if she doesn't feel safe and secure in his arms. James has been the most important key to her dealing with the emotional trauma of being assaulted by Mr. White while in the U.S.

Bond is patient...he has been patient for months but the build up is driving him insane. He does not what to push her but if they don't do something more than make out on the bloody sofa he is going to get killed on a mission because his focus is completely on the way her fully clothed breast feels spilling over his hand at this very moment.

Christ he has not even seen her completely naked yet...tiny glimpses are not enough...arghh he wants her so bad that she must see it in him.

Poor James...he is so high-strung she thinks he may burst from her sitting on his lap. "Tonight James…you have to go tomorrow and will be gone for a while on this mission so I planned on…"

"Don't tease…are you seriously ready M?"

Bond gazes intently into her eyes as she smiles and trails a finger from his forehead along his nose to his lips. Bond's heart rate increases as he kisses the finger on his lips.

"I am serious."

"Great…just great…now…I can't believe you would do this too me now…finally."

M looks confused at his negative reaction to her agreeing to have sex with him tonight.

"Not the reaction I was expecting 007…care to explain?"

Bond smirks at her.

"Now I have to work the rest of my day getting ready for my mission with the picture of you naked, in bed with me tonight firmly planted in my brain. How in hell am I going to concentrate on anything else… including dinner at bloody 8 o'clock! Can we eat at 5 instead…I am not going to have enough time to enjoy you M."

M laughs and attempts to stand up from her position across his knees.

"Bond…I'm sure you will manage just as well as I."

M's eyes are twinkling at him as she arches her lovely brows at him.

"Damn it M! Please?"

"Please what?"

"This sofa is nice or there is a sturdy counter in that private washroom of yours."

"BOND! Patience is a virtue."

"I have never claimed virtue of any kind M and you know that."

"The faster you accomplish work and I do the same the faster I get to leave this office."

The buzzer on M's phone goes. She walks to the desk and answers.

"Yes….hello, Ducky how are you today? Really…that is fantastic news….but of course you are staying with me….tomorrow what time….I will send my car to collect you. Yes…I am looking forward to it….No unfortunately James is leaving for a mission and you will not get a chance to see him….tomorrow then…bye."

Bond frowns. "Ducky is coming back to visit so soon? It has only been a month."

"Yes, but he has a conference to attend here. James…is there something wrong? You look like you're starting to pout."

"Well, I finally get you to agree and your last lover is arriving immediately after and will be staying with you in your flat while I am out of country."

M smiles at him. "You are not jealous of Ducky are you?"

"Christ yes M! He got you into bed in a matter of hours to months of my relatively ignored seductive techniques and barely contained sexual frustration."

M laughs and pulls Bond into a hug. "There…there James. You have nothing to worry about. Ducky and I are just friends and that is what we will remain."

"Have you never heard the term friends with benefits M…because the two of you definitely qualify."

M reaches behind her utterly adorable young lover and swats his behind. "James…go…get your work done and allow me to do mine. I need to clear some of my schedule for my guest."

Bond frowns. "I trust you and Ducky M but it will not stop me from feeling jealously left out on my mission. I hope I can concentrate on my mission while I fantasize about you and Ducky playing doctor back home."

"James…stop it! I will not sleep with Ducky and that will have to be good enough for you."

James captures M's mouth in a sudden kiss that leaves her breathless and wanting more. James turns suddenly and walks to the door unlocking it and turning back to wink at her.

"James! Behave yourself."

"That goes double for you M…especially while I'm away."

M smiles at his as he ducks out the door. M loves that man…there is no doubt within her that she does but he obviously has some misgivings about her…or Ducky.

M sits back down and continues with her stack of papers, trying desperately to keep her focus from drifting to anticipation over this evening's entertainment.

M slips past her guard out the back to the next street over where a taxi is waiting to collect her. She enjoys the silence of the ride to the restaurant.

M walks in as sees Bond already at the bar with his trade mark martini. She walks up to join him and the glass of wine beside him that he ordered for her arrival.

M dressed casually in a heather grey jumper and dark flared slacks. Small heeled boots on her feet and a trench coat. Bond helps her remove her coat and hangs it with his own.

"M you look the right picture for a secret agent of some kind…tell me little lady…do you come here often?"

M laughs as she sits on the stool and takes a sip of her wine. "No and that would be the point of picking this place…don't you agree?"

"Yes, I suppose the two of us will have to pull out a guide and circle all the establishment that we have never visited in this great city of ours."

"Yes, and never pick the same one twice…regardless of how good it my be."

A server comes to collect them for their table in the corner. James takes their coats and follows me watching the sway of her hips as she walks ahead of him.

Dinner and drinks ordered they discuss small aspects of the next few weeks while Bond is away and Ducky comes to stay at her flat.

M can tell that Bond is still not one hundred percent sure about her friendship with Dr. Mallard but that he can do nothing about it.

M pats his hand on the table. "Bond if Vesper had lived but you broke it off…if you were still friends with her I would have accepted and understood."

Bond arches his eyebrow up in surprise. "Are you sure about that M? What about the women I encounter on this mission?"

"I know the kind of woman you will meet on this mission and if you need to…you are encouraged to entertain them physically to get me the information I want…you are my tool to wield around the world."

"I am your tool and the best one in your arsenal M…still I will try not to entertain anyone but you in the future."

"See I am not jealous…you need to grow up Bond."

"I will try…for you."

"Thank god...because I already did my time raising children."

Bond smiles at her across the table reaching over to hold her hand when possible. M's eyes were full of excitement and happiness this evening.

"M you seem different tonight."

"How so?"

"Like you rediscovered joy...excitement...like sneaking out of the house turned you into an agent."

M laughs. "More like you have taken 30 years off my age and made me giddy as a school girl."

"I have more power than I thought I did...if I could do that to my boss."

"Yes your boss can be somewhat of a miserable bitch at times and I think she owes you an apology after the last few months."

"I don't want an apology from her I just want her...delectable body...pressed up against mine."

"Bond...remember we are in public."

"So no one knows us and the age gap is not as surprising in this day and age as it was 30 years ago M."

"Yes but these people likely think I'm you mother none the less."

"Impossible! With the way I've been undressing you with my eyes all evening. They know I'm your lover."

"How...I don't think it is that obvious, but If you like I could trail my boot up your leg to stake claim over you as my toy boy."

M places her foot on James' and gently caresses his shin.

Bond closes his eyes and groans at the contact...M is playing with him and it arouses him more than anything.

"M...be careful or I will not be able to wait to get you back to your flat...the backseat of the car will have to do."

"Bond...you will contain yourself, just as you have managed holding me in bed after our return from the U.S."

"You think I managed that! I will let you in on a little secret M...those trips to the bathroom were for more than brushing my teeth and using the toilet."

M lets out a throaty laugh and grasps his hand as it rests near hers on the table. "I do hope you are not that fast in all the things you do James?"

Bond plays with her fingers, interlinking them with his own on the table. "Christ woman if you keep this flirting up...I will have to take you in the car."

"I don't think I could do it in a car at my age."

"Have you?"

"What?"

"In a car?"

"In a car, on a train, in a boat and on a train..."

Bond's eyes go wide and he grips her hand tighter in excitement. "Really?"

M laughs...tears begin to stream from her eyes in mirth. It is one of the sexiest thing Bond has ever seen and heard."

"It's from a children's story...have you never read Green Eggs and Ham?"

"M don't tease me...I don't think I can take much more of your teasing."

"Poor boy. I did once or twice in a car and...yes I did on a train once. As for a boat...wait we did go on a cruise once but as for a plane...no."

"I'm shocked...not a plane?"

"No I could not convince him to."

"Him...were all these with one him?"

M looks at Bond in sudden shock. "Yes...of course they were all with him...Bond I was married for a long time."

"Yes but some of that could be from before Nigel...when you were even younger."

"They were with Nigel."

"He was the luckiest man alive...Nigel."

"Why do you say that just because he had me when we were young and attractive?"

"No and you are still bloody gorgeous and you know it. I say that because he had so many years with you and..."

"And you will not be afforded that same luxury." M frowns, "I am old...and will not live another 30 years not to mention you will leave eventually."

"M...that is not what I...well the age does concern me in that regard because I can't imagine living without you but I will not leave...I vow to look after you even if you are incapable of doing so yourself. Besides who says I will outlive you?"

"Enough...this is depressing...reality is depressing. I want to consider this...this is all a fantasy. The entire time that we are together be it long or short...I will think of it as a fantasy for the rest of my life I may live in the memory of this fantasy...the one we make right here and right now."

"Yes but you will not...you are far to realistic for that M and I don't want to be just your fantasy I want to be your reality just like he was."

"Bond...I can't be public with you and you know it. You are not battling the ghost of Nigel. What is so wrong with being my fantasy man?"

"I don't know...it sounds like you only want me for my body...my handsome face and my body like I actually am your toy boy."

"So the shoe is on the other foot and that bothers your sensibilities James?"

"Yes...I guess it does."

"Now you understand the shy 20-year-old woman being seduced by the words of a 40 plus year old married man...with promises of protection and being looked after just for a tangle in the sheets. It may prevent her from finding a real relationship that is more rewarding."

"The rewards are much better for me and I am not being taken advantage of in any way. There is no real relationship other than with you."

"You think not? I used you as protection and a nurse-maid while recovering from my trauma and you, yourself said you could barely stand the proximity. I did know you wanted me and I used it."

"Not the same thing M...apples and oranges. I do want you but unlike the 40-year-old man playing on the insecurities of the young woman...I know the rewards are more than worth it at this stage of my life."

"Good because I plan on rewarding you later."

Bond's palms his head in exasperation. "M...I still have to bloody well drive us there...damn it! Did Nigel have to put up with your constant teasing?"

M winks at him, "yes he did...but I rewarded him too."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Bond drives them back to her flat but parks on the street behind. M moves to the back door while Bond stays in the shadows. Just in case her guards catch her entering through the back door.

Bond gives her a few minutes and makes his way to the roof and then in through the window he has always used to gain access to her flat. There is a disruption in the alarm connexion of that one small window. Bond should know as he made it that way years ago.

M climbs the stairs to catch him in the act for once.

"So that is where you enter from…good to know. I came up expecting you to arrive from the upstairs. Do you want to join me for a drink downstairs?"

Bond grabs M and kisses her passionately. "M…I've waited too long…I need you…so much."

M has to laugh at his desperation. "James…not so…fast…can you try to…remain calm?"

Bond slams the palms of his hands on either side of her head against the wall outside her bedroom. His breathing is erratic but then again so is hers.

"Yes…damn it! God you have me so undone."

M's fingers trace his face making him groan and close his eyes. "Please…M please don't touch me if you want me to have any control…"

M takes one of his hands in hers and guides him into her room. Bond is well acquainted with her room but tonight it appears different…perhaps it was her intent that it seem this way. Some of the furniture has been moved slightly.

M takes Bond's coat and tosses it on the chair. She then silently begins taking his suit jacket off and works the tie. Bond is breathing shallow breaths as he watches her intently.

Not wanting to stop this or break the spell M is in he lets her small fingers open the buttons of his shirt and remove it from his shoulders.

James Bond is now naked from the waist up in her room. He has been in this state before in the month he looked after her upon returning from the U.S. Somehow this is different…there is clearer intent in this disrobing of her lover.

M grasps the belt around his waist but he grabs her hand. "No…now it is your turn."

M smiles and begins pulling her jumper up but Bond's hands join hers and pull it off her body. James stares at her bra while he uses his fingers to trace the outline of it across her chest up to her shoulders seductively.

M's skin prickles at the sensation his fingers make. Bond pulls her face to his as the need to taste her rises. Passionate kisses continue as he works her slacks down over her hips. M again grabs his belt and opens his trousers allowing them to fall to the floor.

Bond backs her over to her bed as his hands work the clasp of her white lace bra. The back of M's legs hit the bed as she sits…eye level with his pants. She reaches the waistband and pulls it gently around his aroused member.

M's small hand grasps him and caresses him.

"Argh…M…M."

Bond leans her back and begins kissing and touching her again. Their passion rises as he pulls her panties off and on to the floor under her legs dangling over the mattress. Bond grabs her feet and lifts them to the bed.

M rolls to the middle lying on her stomach. Bond straddles her glorious behind as he begins to massage her shoulders. This is something that he has done for her in a completely non-sexual way to relax her and allow her to calm to his touch.

After the trauma of being assaulted she needed to have this contact to help her feel trust again.

Of course this time there is a pent-up sexuality about the procedure. Because this time they are both completely naked.

Bond is throbbing in need but he has been like this around her for the last month…this time though his lips get ahead of him and begin tailing a path down her spine to her backside.

"I think you may have always wanted me to do this to you M."

M turns her head to look at him…a look of relaxed contentment on her face. "What is that James?"

Bond proceeds to kiss her glorious ass and look up at her as she giggles in response. M can see the desperation in the poor boys face and rolls over. Bond moves up her body to grasp a nipple in his mouth.

Time is strange when one is in a perpetual state of sexual anticipation. Bond seems to spend a great deal of time licking, biting and sucking on each of her nipples. One of his hands working the breast his mouth cannot tend too.

M is thoroughly aroused and opens her legs to cradle him between them…felling his arousal press against hers.

"James…James."

Bond looks up at her from her chest as she arches beneath him.

"Yes M?"

"I want you in me now!"

"Lube?"

"I think you have warmed me up considerably James…we can try…"

Bond instantly shifts his weight and pushes against the wall of her sex…very slowly. M groans and he watches her carefully for a sign…any sign to stop the painfully slow progress. There is warmth and wetness…christ she feels so amazing his eyes close involuntarily as his breathing becomes erratic.

Christ he may just lose it now. James freezes in place. "M…love are you….can I…christ you feel so good."

"Slowly love…yes."

Bond moves a tiny bit more and looks down between their bodies…he takes his thumb and begins rubbing her sex as she gasps and relaxes again to allow him to push in more.

"We should stop…M. I will put some lube on."

"No…come on James…you will not break me and I want this more than you can imagine."

"I'm not sure about that love."

The pressure on M's sex is rising she begins to feel the waves of an orgasm rising from his touch.

"James…James…ahhh."

Bond pushes all the way into her and stars begin forming behind his eyes as he feels her flutter around him. He rocks into her gently as her orgasm over comes her and causes him to lose all control.

Bond withdraws and thrusts back into her quickly… a few thrusts is all it takes in his excitement. He collapses on her as their chests press together…they can feel the pounding of each other's hearts.

"Sorry M…I thought I could last longer."

M laughs at him. "I arrived first dear boy…you were only playing catch up."

"We will be doing that again and again so I plan on perfecting our mutual release."

"Do you…well I look forward to the testing process."

Bond moves out and away from her pulling her on his chest to rest her head and arms.

"M…seriously are you alright after that? I didn't hurt you in any way did I?"

"No…you were very gentle. You are not worried about breaking me are you?"

"Well, no…but I was just concerned."

"As you said trial and error…we will get the hang of this."

"Yes…but I have to leave by 8 tomorrow morning so we have to get all the trial and error done tonight so I can leave you satisfied and longing for my return."

"Oh we do, do we?"

"Yes…I am capable of much better. There are a multitude of things I would like to do with you…"

M laughs again as he kisses her. Whatever happens from here on…James has helped heal her heart.

Nigel broke her in death and Ducky began to heal her just as White stole a piece of her away in pain and misery.

Ducky and Bond have had a hand in helping her rebuild herself internally and for that she loves them both.

"Well I never intended this to be a one-off so you had better return to me in one piece James."

"And you had better not replace me in this bed with anyone else..."

"James! I already told you I wouldn't. You are going to have to learn to trust me."

James kisses her again making her mind wander. Bond is an incorrigible flirt that is far too young for her but she doesn't care a bit…this is far too good to let pass her by and she will enjoy every moment.
