They drove for almost three hours. They had done in relative silence. Despite Olivia's requests to Julia to sing their favorite song, she did not. She had felt the stare of William on her, she knew that red was on her cheeks when he said he did not doubt for a second that her voice was beautiful. But she had merely pinching lips not to smile at the compliment, eyes glued to the road ahead.
They had entered the town at dusk. The sun disappeared behind the trees in red and orange tones. The car disappeared into the small tree-lined street to come to stop before a wooden house.
-We arrived, Olivia launched with gusto, I can not wait to show my new doll to auntie Ruby. Oh and I hope she will bake me a chocolate cake.
-Do not bother her to ask her Olivia, Julia threw stopping the engine, you know it's not polite.
-She's there, threw the little girl while a blonde woman came out of the house, I can leave the car mom?
-Yes, sighed Julia, go ahead.
She gave her a tender smile and a moment later the girl left the car running, approaching the young woman immediately began to kneel on the floor to greet her in her arms. Julia watched the scene, smiling shyly, and William meanwhile, turned to the one who was sitting next to him.
-They look like much appreciate each other.
-Yes, even if they rarely see because Ruby travel a lot, she is crazy in love of Olivia. I know she will always take care of her. I think I knew the day of the birth of my daughter. Ruby loves her very much and she does in return.
-I think that Olivia has the gift of bringing down anyone under her spell. This is an adorable little girl.
-I see that you too have succumbed Detective? Julia threw grinning teasingly.
-I plead guilty, William replied the same way.
-Do not rely on these little angel tunes, Olivia is stubborn, bounded, impetuous and independent.
-She remember her mother, murmured William plunging his gaze in that of the young woman.
She did not reply. She opened her mouth, but still no words came out. She stood just there, staring into the one of the young man, from his eyes to his lips. She licked hers and before she had time to say or do anything at all, Ruby knocked on her door window.
-So Jules, you intend to spend the night there?
Julia looked up at the ceiling and William could not help laughing. Ruby finally has a huge smile on her lips.
-Ooooh, but you are accompanied.
Julia glanced at William and they left the car at the time. They walked toward her and the smile of Ruby grows even more. William looked her into every detail. He had to admit that the young woman was very pretty. She had that same look mischievous as her sister, the same blonde hair but she was much smaller. She was much makeup also. She was as elegant as Julia but with significantly more forms, he had to admit.
-Do you introduce me ? Gave the young woman cheerfully.
-Of course, Julia muttered under her breath, here Ruby, Detective William Murdoch, William, here Ruby Ogden, my sister.
-Her younger sister, she added extending her hand toward William who once took.
-I am delighted to meet you Miss Ogden, he said, plunging his eyes into hers before kissed her hand.
-A Gentleman, sighed Ruby, I too am delighted.
They exchanged a glance and turned to Julia at the same time.
-You did not tell me in your call that you came along.
-The Detective decided to ... come with me at the last moment, Julia said crossing the eyes of William few seconds, now if you will, can we enter? I'm tired.
-Of course, come ... William, Ruby threw in a tone that made a leap at the heart of Julia.
He just nodded, not noticing her confusion, to follow Ruby and thus, all four will enter inside the house.
They were all around the dining table to eat, Ruby serving meals to her guests. William and Julia were sitting opposite each other, Ruby in front of her niece. Once served, she sat down and began eating. Yet Julia remarked William shake hands a few seconds and see him move lips in silence. When he finished, he looked up at Julia he immediately crossed the look. He froze, but the woman just smiled tenderly before starting to eat her too.
-So you're a Detective, William? Ruby asked, turning to him. This job must be fascinating.
-He arrest the bad guys and he puts them in jail forever auntie Ruby, replied Olivia, Mom says he's like a hero and he is very strong.
At these words, William raised his eyes again to Julia who kept the mouth open, fork in hand. The young man smiled and Julia left his eyes to put her fork in the mouth quickly.
-Yes um ... William muttered giving a last look at Julia, I strive to do my job better.
-I am sure that you are an extraordinary policeman, replied Ruby. But I have a question that bothers me: why are you going to this Doctors meeting with Jules in New York? You know, I've never understood why she continued to follow all these medical journals while she has a big business.
William gasped, not knowing what to say and immediately the young woman spoke again.
-He is just as fascinated as I am by research on the human brain. We talked about and he offered to accompany me, so I do not risk anything on the ride.
-Darcy knows? Ruby grumbled, raising an eyebrow at the ceiling.
-Of course Ruby, Julia sighed, what do you imagine.
Ruby did not answer and simply frowned, looking with interest that Julia had lowered her gaze to her plate again. She then turned to William that she just locked eyes and smiled shyly before doing the same.
The young woman watched them in silence, she finally understood. She smiled shyly, she would check her theories. After a few minutes in an almost absolute silence, Ruby began a conversation with William, she told him about his job, what girl was Julia when they were teenagers, she even put her hand on William's seconds before feeling a kick to her ankle. The glare of Julia boded no good, she had made her angry and she could perfectly see the jealousy in her eyes. She had so much right. Ruby stopped her game, seeing how William looked uncomfortable.
-In any case, with a Detective with her on this trip, she will not risk getting arrested for being bathed naked in public.
At these words, Julia turned red and William nearly choked with pear he was eating.
-This was not publicly Ruby, grumbled Julia, it was in a remote corner of the park and then we were young. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to put Olivia in bed, she falls tired, Julia said, rising.
Olivia did the same and she approached Ruby to come kiss her cheek.
-Goodnight auntie Ruby.
-Good night little angel.
Olivia then went to William and she kissed him on the cheek also, to the astonishment of all present.
-Goodnight William.
-Good night Olivia, sweet dreams.
She then left the room with Julia, quickly, leaving him alone with Ruby for minutes.
-Tell me William, are you close to my sister?
-I only know her for the short time.
-And how did you meet?
-During an investigation.
-Do you...
-I wish not to continue this discussion Miss Ogden, my relations with your sister does not concern you in any way.
-But you know she dates Darcy for four years now, he is like a father to Olivia.
-I am aware, and I'll never go against it. I only accompany her on her journey. Now if you do not mind, I need to stretch my legs, I'll take a walk. Thank you for the meal, it was delicious, he said before leaving the table without a word or a look over.
She watched him go and she pursed her lips, just waiting for Julia comes back into the room. What soon.
-Where is the Detective?
-William was released.
-Do not call him William, please, Julia grumbled, dropping into her chair again, and do not remake this game with him.
-Why? Because you're jealous?
-No I...
-Stop lying to me Jules, Ruby threw laughing, it's so obivious that you are crazy in love with him. You've never looked at Darcy as you watch "William," she insisted on his name, there is such a sexual tension between you.
-You're saying nonsense.
-I know recognize two people in love when I see it. And believe me, this man loves you.
-No, he can not Ruby, I ...
-Has he done something that would make you think otherwise?
-No, he ... I was not repulsed. But I think it was not the right time. I felt betrayed and he was there, I needed reassurance.
-I beg your pardon?
-I kissed him, Julia whispered, and he did not dismissed. He responded to my kiss. But it stops there. There is nothing between us.
-Nothing between you? Really?
-Nothing. After that kiss, we separated and we wanted a good night.
-Good, well, we have to take things in hand in this case.
-Ruby ...
-No, not taking into Ruby. This man is wonderful, he's in love with you, you're in love with him, Olivia adores him and he loves Olivia. You're not married to Darcy, so you can leave. Now help me to get rid of and we'll discuss it.
Julia sighed again and she obeys against heart. They talked of William for several minutes before seeing him return again and win one of two guest bedroom that Ruby had at their disposal. After a last tea, the two women parted for the night.
Julia was turning for many minutes in the bed she shared with Olivia. She could not sleep. The events of the day before and the same day returning loop in her head, again and again. She thought back to the kiss she shared with William, the reaction he had when she announced that she would find Darcy's brother. Julia glanced at Olivia. The girl had always known Darcy and yet she was not as open and natural with him, not as she was with William she barely knew. Maybe she also felt this strange feeling of well being and confidence in his presence.
Unable to find answers to her questions, Julia decided to get up to cool off in the bathroom. She left the room quietly and she borrowed the long narrow corridor leading to the small room at the back of it. She frowned at seeing the light pass under the door but she went forward to see it shut down and the door open on William. It was barely wearing his pants, shirtless, hair disheveled.
She met his gaze barely a second to put it on his chest, to see his muscles to draw the moonlight coming through the window a little further. They uttered no word. William was enthralled to see her standing in front of him, with this long nightgown silk so light that drew every curve of her body. Her hair rippled over her bare shoulders with spaghetti straps below its marked a simple little white line. He looked at the lace of her nightgown where he saw the hollow of her breasts emerge, where he noticed how her breath was jerky. He looked up at her and smiled tenderly.
-The bathroom is free, he said before wanting to leave her, I needed to refresh myself, the night is hot.
But on his way, he let his hand brush her hip without leaving her eyes.
She put her hand on his and smiled in turn.
-I think that I don't have to go there, she whispered lip.
He approached her a little, putting his other hand on her hip to gently flatten against the wall lying in her back. A moment later, he sealed his lips to hers in a gentle kiss that quickly turned into a passionate one. William gently pushed his hands on either side of her body caressing every curve in its path. He grabbed her breasts through the fabric and stroked a few seconds. Julia moaned arching her back to jam her femininity against him. He then kissed her neck and grabbed her hands, linking his fingers with hers to place them above the head of the woman.
-William, Julia moaned, closing her eyes as he began to come tickle her intimacy with his outstretched member.
He released her hands and placed one in the small of her back, the other, he pulled her nightgown over her thighs. She took the opportunity to run her fingers through his hair and she held him against her while sliding a hand on his crotch, making him grow as a sigh of desire. He then grabbed her panties he slid on her legs and he placed them on his hips, raising the young woman above him. They exchanged a look and a soft smile before he grabs her lips, he let his tongue dance with hers. And when his pants threatened to crack when his member was swollen and tense, William opened his belt and he took it down. Julia gave it a look and she could not help smiling broadly knowing what awaited her. She slipped her hand on the sex of William and guided him to her privacy to let him sink gently. She reared and he plunged his face between her breasts. A hand on each side of her buttocks, he made her move above him. Ever faster, ever more deeply, again and again while their moans echoed in the empty corridor. And when they felt the time come, when the tension was so great that they knew they would soon explode, William looked up at Julia. He met her gaze and immediately he merely rested his forehead against hers. She smiled at him and he did the same again on giving another blow violent kidney to sink in her again. A moment later, they exploded in unison, shortness of breath, trembling body. They resumed their breath always closely intertwined and when the voltage fell, William left her. She moaned as she felt him leave her body and he took the opportunity to slide his tongue in her neck. He let Julia drag against his body to allow her to rest her feet on the ground and he buried his face in the crook of her neck.
-Goodnight Julia, he said hoarsely in her ear hollow before moving away suddenly from her.
She looked him up his pants and slowly move away.
-Goodnight William, she said, smiling shyly, crossing his eyes one last time as he entered his bedroom.
They stood there, facing each other, panting, trembling body. The waking dream they had done was so realistic that Julia could feel the wetness between her thighs. William meanwhile could not hide the tension in his pants. Their bodies were shouting that they wanted so much and yet they stood there, silent, staring into the one on the other. After a last minute without moving, William spoke.
-Goodnight Julia, he said hoarsely.
He left his hand caress her hip and stomach on his way and a shiver ran through the body of Julia.
-Goodnight, William, she said feeling him away.
She watched him go to his bedroom a bit further and immediately she entered the bathroom, determined to calm down. She had to pull herself together and most of all never have such thoughts in the future.
When he closed the bedroom door, William had put his head against the dark wood a few moments.
-God, forgive me, he murmured, looking up to heaven, but this woman is driving me crazy.
He closed his eyes and opened his pants slid down, revealing his penis, long and hard. He took it with one hand and began the slow back and forth, thinking of the body of the young woman who was in another room and that was the reason for all this passion he had never experienced before. He did it for a few minutes before the tension finally fell with a groan of pleasure he could not restrain.
