Chapter 10
"I might just do that," Vicky taunted as she got up and took AJ's hand. "For now though, why don't you give me a tour of the bedroom?"
"I always try to please my lady," AJ answered as he swept her up into his arms and carried her towards the room in question.
"Am I your lady AJ?"
He paused just inside the room, almost as if he needed to consider her question, "If you want to be Vicky, I'd consider it an honor to call you my lady."
Vicky placed her hand on his cheek and thought about changing her plan, but then she reminded herself of her mother and all she'd been through. She wouldn't go back on the vow she'd made no matter how sweet AJ was acting now. She knew the truth! But she couldn't let him know that, so she softly said, "I'd love that."
He wondered at her hesitation, but then figured she was just being cautious, after all they really hadn't known each other very long. But it wasn't as if they were declaring undying love for each other. With a tender smile he asked, "Well should we get to the lovin now my lady?"
"Most certainly!" she stated and gestured towards his huge bed.
Putting her on her feet next to the bed, AJ reached out and began to undress her. Vicky was glad to help him out of his clothes as well. She planned on enjoying as much as she could while this lasted. By Friday it would all be over.
As she drove home that evening she reconsidered the timetable of her grand plan. Maybe enjoying him a few days longer wouldn't be so bad? The outcome would still be the same. The problem was it was hard to give up sex that good, but no, Friday would be the end no matter what!
Tuesday, Vicky surprised AJ by showing up at the JAG offices to take him to lunch. This also gave her a chance for a tour of where he worked. She met most of the staff and even got a chance to try out his chair.
Vicky noticed the lecherous grin she got from the tall dark Commander, but also saw how quickly he backed down when he saw AJ put an arm around her waist. 'So he has his staff completely under his thumb!' she thought as they left the building. If there had been time in her plan she might have tried the jealousy test, but there wouldn't be enough time to pull it off.
Lunch was enjoyable, he'd taken her to Callisto's, telling her it was his favorite place. Vicky wasn't impressed, it was one of those homey family places and she preferred fancier places, however she didn't let him know it. She complimented him on the restaurant and thanked him for sharing it with her, as they left so they could both get back to work. Vicky told him she was sorry they didn't have time for a little 'afternoon delight'. He grinned and agreed.
AJ was pleased and flattered that this young and attractive woman couldn't seem to get enough of him. After the Meredith fiasco, his confidence had taken a large blow. But this past week with Vicky had given him a major boost, and he was pretty sure that fact had become noticeable in his demeanor at work. He'd been walking down the hall outside the courtroom yesterday and two women that had been standing there talking had turned to stare at him as he walked by. He found himself thinking that maybe he wasn't quite past it yet.
Wednesday night he and Vicky went out for dinner and then back to her apartment. Since she had made it clear that she wanted him to spend the night, he'd even taken a clean uniform with him.
