Thanks so much for the feedback! These next two chapters at least might be steamier. Enjoy!
Robert and Holly held onto each other's hands the whole ride home, the two were just so happy to be together, actually together and they were determined to get it right this time.
Robert let them into his hotel room, Holly felt so at ease being back here. Thinking of the little moments they shared there. That time in November when they almost made love but she put a stop to it.
Flashback to after they duped Diane with the plan to set up Victor and save Ethan
Robert had moved his hand to the bottom of her shirt, touching her skin, it felt so right to them both but at the same time wrong. Holly broke their kiss.
"I can't do this. I can't make love to you and leave you like this." Holly had tears in her eyes, she knew she had to go save Ethan and that was top priority but right up there was also not hurting Robert.
"I'm a big boy..." Robert started but stopped, one of the things he loved so much about her was that she always tried to protect him. He sat up.
End of flashback
Robert walked up behind her and put his arms around her. "What are you thinking about?" He whispered in her ear.
Holly smiled, placing her hands on his. "You...how lonely this shower is going to be without you in it with me."
Robert grinned, kissing her neck. "I can help you wash your back."
Holly turned around, wrapping her arms around him. "The rest of me will be jealous then." She teased.
Robert captured her lips, holding her as close to him as he could. He wanted this moment so bad, wanted to go back to May and fix things so that she would let him go with her. Now here she was in his arms.
Holly wasted no time returning his kiss, holding him just as close to her. This was what she dreamt of, it wasn't even about sex it was just feeling close to her Robert.
Robert looked into her eyes. "You want to get that shower out of the way?" He asked her.
Holly nodded. "I'll need a pair of your pajamas. I don't really have anything to wear and I mean anything..."
Robert got what she meant. "We will work on that, not that I'm complaining. I'm sorry you are starting all over again." He felt like such a fool for letting Diane get close to him.
"As long as it's with you who cares?" Holly placed a kiss on his lips. She meant that fully. She had her memories and she had Robert, Ethan and now a little granddaughter, not to mention Robert's grandchildren and Robin. Things could be replaced, people couldn't.
Robert held her, kissing her deeply. "If we keep this up you are never going to make it to that shower."
"Promises, promises." Holly laughed, using the willpower she had to move out of his arms. "Will you get me those cute pajamas of yours?"
Robert nodded. "On it."
Holly had a good comeback but refrained. "Thank you." She went into the bathroom and got the shower going, removing the clothes Laura had lent her and getting in. She washed her hair first, feeling like it definitely needed it.
Robert got her the pajamas and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Holly called out.
Robert opened the door and sat the clothes down. "Need anything?" He asked.
Holly peeked out. "Yes, you." She smirked.
"Holly." Robert shook his head and laughed, she never gave up.
"Doesn't sound like a no." Holly's smirk never left her face.
Who was Robert trying to fool? He wanted this as much as she did. He started to take off his clothes.
Holly grinned at him. "That's better."
Robert chuckled as he opened the shower, taking a step in. He hadn't seen Holly like this in years and to say he appreciated the vision in front of him was an understatement. "My god you're still as gorgeous as ever."
Holly blushed, reaching out the take his hand. she took in the vision of him in front of her. "You're still incredibly sexy, some things really do just get better with age."
Robert wrapped his arms around her, kissing her neck.
Holly let out a soft moan. "Oh...that feels heavenly."
"Tell me about it." Robert murmured against her neck.
"I do need to wash up..." Holly reminded him, she hadn't finished that up quite yet.
Robert just held her. "In a bit. I'll help you." He just wanted to feel her close, this close to him, take in her scent. Feel all the love the two of them had shared and still shared.
Holly got it, she knew this was how Robert was. A big marshmallow with a sometimes gruff exterior with most but not her, never her.
Robert let her go after a few moments. He grabbed a washcloth and put some body wash on it. "You want me to get your back?" He asked her, still in awe of her beauty.
"I want you to get everything.." Holly told him as she ran her hand over his chest.
Robert was putty, absolute putty in her hands at this point. "Will you return the favor?" He asked, a big old grin on his face.
"Happily." She told him giving him a grin.
The two of them washed each other off, taking longer than they needed at some points just loving touching and feeling each other again.
When they finished up with the shower they both stepped out. Robert would be lying if he said he didn't want to take her right then and there but they had been through a lot and he really was following her lead.
Holly dried off then wrapped the towel around herself, she looked over at Robert. "I'm not sure the pajamas are a necessity right now unless you want to sleep?" She asked, she didn't want him to push himself for her.
"I'm worried that you might need sleep. You've been through it these past few months." Robert told her, wrapping his towel around his waist.
"All I did most of the time was sleep, just lay there and dream about you. Robert I want to make love to you, I've wanted you since the moment I saw you again at The Quartermaine boathouse but I couldn't give into those feelings knowing I was keeping something from you. If you are worried about me, don't be. The only thing I need right now is you." Holly told him, reaching out to touch his face, stroking his cheek gently.
Hearing what Holly had said was the last bit of encouragement Robert needed. He wrapped his arms around her once again and kissed her deeply, feeling every bit of love and passion the two had between each other.
Holly fell into the kiss, her arms going around his neck. How she longed for this moment. She looked into his eyes, taking his hand as she led him back to the bedroom.
