Dormus Interruptus.

Chapter 4

Blinking her eyes open, Amy was a little disappointed, not to find a bit of Sheldon prodding into her.

However, he was laying next to her, face to face, so, gingerly, she snuggled up to him, noticing that he was partially aroused.

As she pressed herself against him, Sheldon asked "What do you think you are doing?"

Jumping back, Amy looked up into his eyes and said "Sorry".

With a grin, he replied "Don't apologize, be my guest, but in future, please wake me up first, so we both get to enjoy it". With that, he rolled over, pinning Amy under him.

They ground against one another, Sheldon becoming harder by the second, as Amy felt the tight knot of arousal building in her loins, her breathing becoming shorter and her heart rate increasing.

Pressing his mouth close to her ear, he groaned "Amy, I want you, I want you now".

Amy was in turmoil. She'd waited so long for this moment, and now, much as she hated doing it, she had to stop it.

Cursing her lack of foresight, she reluctantly told him "We can't, I'm not on birth control".

Sheldon slumped onto her and cursed "SHIT". Amy had never heard him curse like that, but it was understandable, given the frustration.

As he lay on his back, his chest heaving from the exertion, Amy snuggled up to him. "Sheldon" she said, "next time, I promise".

Sheldon looked disappointed, as he worked out how long it would be. "But that's five days away" he said.

Sheldon's eyes widened, "Amy" he said, "it's Monday!"

Looking at the bedside clock, Amy replied "Hell, I've got to be at work in an hour".

Leaping from the bed, they raced out of the bedroom, heading for the shower, then Sheldon pulled up short. "Damn" he whispered, "I can smell coffee. Leonard's back".

As he said it, his Vulcan hearing detected a female voice. He went "Oh great, Penny's with him".

Quietly, they crept into the bathroom and, shedding their pajamas, climbed into the shower.

As they showered, Amy glanced down at Sheldon's persistent erection. Moving toward him, she backed him against the wall, grasping him and giving him a gently stroke.

As Amy began to stroke him harder, there was a knock at the door, and Leonard called "Hurry up Sheldon, we're going to be late for work".

Amy paused, Sheldon still in her hand, waiting for Leonard to leave, but he wasn't for leaving until he'd got a reply.

Doing his best to keep his voice level, Sheldon called back "I'll be with you in 10 minutes".

As Leonard walked away toward the living room, Amy looked down in amazement, at the still hard Sheldon, wrapped in her hand.

She began pumping him, but it was taking too long, so, leaning forward, she captured his right nipple between her teeth and bit down gently on it. A moment later, Sheldon erupted into her hand.

Sneaking back to Sheldon's room, they dried and dressed. Amy asked, "What do we do now?"

Sheldon thought for a minute. "Well" he said "You could wait here until me and Leonard have left, but Penny might see you leaving, or we could come clean".

Amy grinned, thinking back to the shower they'd just taken, "Pun intended?" Thinking for a moment, she said "If you want to own up, I'm with you".

"OK" Sheldon said "no embarrassment".

As they emerged from the hallway, Penny's eyes were like dinner plates, but Sheldon cut her off, before she could make a sly remark. "Yes" he declared, "Amy and I have spent the weekend together". Pausing, he went on "and, before you ask, we shared the same bed".

Before Penny could lift her jaw from the floor, Sheldon and Amy were through the front door and half way down the stairs, grinning like Cheshire cats.

-o-o-o-o-

Pulling into the Parking lot at UCLA, Amy stopped to drop Sheldon off.

Sheldon sat there, deep in contemplation, then he raised his head. "Amy" he said, "I don't want to wait till Saturday, to see you again. How about tonight?"

"My place?" Amy asked. "I'll pick you up from here, and we'll go straight there".

Sheldon grinned, like he'd just won the Lottery. Smiling back, Amy said "I'll take that as a yes, shall I?"

-o-o-o-o-

Sheldon was out bang on time, to find Amy waiting for him. Climbing into the passenger seat, he leaned over and gave her a brief kiss on the lips, then fastened his seatbelt and they were away.

Pulling into a retail park, Amy hopped out of the car and dashed into a supermarket. Ten minutes later, she emerged with a bag of shopping.

Stopping off for a take out meal, they drove on to Glendale, arriving at apartment 314 about an hour after leaving UCLA.

As Amy made tea and sorted the take out, Sheldon busied himself unpacking and putting away the groceries.

As he reached the bottom of the shopping bag, he scooped out a small rectangular packet. Turning it in his hand, he swallowed hard.

Seeing the apprehensive look on his face, Amy stopped making the tea and, treading gently, joined him at the cupboards, resting her hand on his arm.

Taking the packet from his hand, she stroked his arm. "Sheldon" she said, "we don't need to do this tonight, Whenever you're ready".

Sheldon stood there in thought. Taking a deep breath, he replied "No, I want to do it tonight".

"OK" she replied, leaning in to hug him, and plant a kiss on his cheek.

They ate in almost complete silence, the TV on, but neither of them taking much notice of it. The tension was palpable

Finishing first, Sheldon scraped his plate, before washing and drying it. Going to the bathroom, he washed his hands and brushed his teeth, finishing just as Amy arrived to brush her teeth.

As he watched Amy, his heart began to beat faster, and his breathing became rapid.

Standing alongside the bed, they both glanced at it, contemplating what they were about to do.

Taking a deep breath, he stripped his T-Shirt over his head, then dropped his pants, kicking them off.

Amy stood looking at him, admiring his toned chest, then she shrugged off her shirt, and slipped off her skirt.

They looked at each other for a long moment, then Sheldon put his thumbs in her panties, at her hips, brushing her silky smooth skin, then he drew the panties down, and Amy was naked before him, her heart thumping in her chest. She'd never felt so exposed or excited, even when she had lay on her back, while Sheldon stared upon her nakedness.

Sliding his underpants down, he moved toward her, his hands seeking her hips, as he pressed himself to her, his mouth finding hers, as they kissed deep and long.

Breaking the kiss, Sheldon pressed his lips to her jaw, and lay a trail of kisses along her jaw line, then slipping onto her neck, kissing and nibbling as his lips roved ever lower, to finally find her left breast, sucking gently at the nipple, as Amy gasped at his touch.

Taking his mouth from her nipple, he murmured "Amy, now?" He felt her nod, as she gasped "Yes Sheldon, now".

-o-o-o-o-

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Sheldon stared at the floor, disappointment sitting in the bottom of his stomach, like a lead weight.

Slipping her legs over the edge of the bed, Amy sat alongside him. "Sheldon" she began, "it's not a big deal".

Turning, he gave her a sad smile, then went back to staring at the floor.

Putting her hand to his chin, she turned his face to hers. "Please Sheldon, don't let this come between us". Pausing, she went on, "Remember, no embarrassment between us, ever".

Giving her a brief smile, Sheldon replied "I'm not embarrassed, I'm just", he paused, "disappointed with myself. I've let you down".

Amy knew then, she had to put a stop to his self recriminations. "Sheldon, you haven't let me down. Just look how far we've come, in just a few days. A week ago, we barely kissed, and now look at us".

Sniffing back tears, she went on "Sheldon, please, I love you. I know we can work this out".

Still he sat there, eyes empty, staring right through her.

The time for coaxing was over. "Sheldon" she said, a hardness to her voice "Get back in this bed now". With a smile, he slipped back under the covers, then Amy snuggled up to him".

Reaching out, she swept up the pack of condoms from the bedside cabinet, and flung them across the room. Staring him in the eyes, she set her voice hard, then said "They don't exist. Do you understand?"

A smile crept onto his face, as he stroked a stray strand of hair from her face. Nodding, Sheldon replied "I understand".

Taking his hand, she guided it downward, pressing it between her legs. For a moment, he just sat there, then he began to stroke across her swollen lips, as she ground herself onto his hand, only to jerk, as she felt him slide two fingers into her.

As he began to stroke and probe her, she jerked and twitched. Plunging his mouth onto her breast, he sucked hard on the nipple, drawing it into his mouth, to tease it with his tongue.

As she twitched and jerked her way to her climax, she knew they were going to be OK.
