Kerry and Tony fumbled around for a few seconds while trying to straighten their clothes after the knock at the door.
Tony went to answer it and no one was there. "That's odd", he poked his head out and looked both ways. They had sent their security on break.
Tony crossed the room in a few strides back to Kerry, his presence commanding and reassuring. He grabbed her hand. "Let's get out of here."
As they both left the room and were hurrying down the hallway, a sudden loud crash from one of the other rooms closer to the exit shattered the moment, both of them snapping into high alert.
Tony drew his weapon, motioning for Kerry to stay behind him. "You carry a weapon?!" She whispered, surprised. "Yes, ever since that incident with the crazy fan. Stay low," he instructed, his voice a hushed command. "I'll check it out." Kerry nodded.
As Tony approached the window, he peered cautiously through it . The moonlight revealed a dark figure with a ski mask on moving stealthily towards the parking lot.
"Someone's out there," he whispered, his eyes narrowing. Kerry's heart raced, but she forced herself to stay calm. "We need to get out of here. Now."
Tony nodded, backing away from the window. "On three, we head to my car." She took a deep breath, bracing herself. "Okay. Three."
They moved swiftly, years of acting in a high stakes political thriller kicking in. The door burst open, and they dashed towards the car parked close to the building, their breaths coming in sharp gasps.
They dove into the car, and Tony revved the engine to life. Tires screeched as they sped away. As the adrenaline began to ebb, Kerry reached over and took Tony's hand, her grip firm. "Thank you," she said, her voice trembling with emotion. "That felt like we were in Scandal again except this time it was real."
Tony looked at her, his blue eyes burning with determination. "I'd never let anything happen to you. I'm calling my agent and head of security to report this and have them investigate. I don't know who they were there for but I'm not taking any chances!"
As they continued to drive, Kerry rested her head on Tony's shoulder. "I'll give you a ride home Ker." Kerry sighed softly. "No." Tony raised his eyebrows at her, "what do you mean, no?" Gazing up at him she answered softly, "I'm…Tony, take me anywhere but home".
About 20 minutes later they pulled up to Tony's LA home, after making sure they weren't being followed. Tony eased the car into the garage, shut the engine off, looking at Kerry curiously as he pressed the remote to close the garage door. It had been awhile since she had been at his LA home.
He jumped out of the car and opened the passenger side door, helping her out of the car. They went into the house, Tony turning the lights on as he was the only one staying there.
It started to pour down rain. Tony dimmed the lights a bit and turned to Kerry. "Do you want a drink sweetheart?" Kerry smiled slightly, "Yes please. Something strong after the evening we just had." The Rain lashed against the windows, but inside, it was a world away.
Kerry stood by the large bay window, watching the raindrops race each other down the glass. She sighed, feeling the weight of the past weeks lifting, if only for a moment. Tony's home was a sanctuary, a place where she could finally breathe.
Tony entered the room, carrying two glasses of scotch. He handed one to Kerry and took a sip from his own, watching her with a soft, contemplative gaze. "A penny for your thoughts?"
She turned to face him, a smile playing on her lips. "Just thinking about how nice it is to be here, away from everything."
Tony nodded, understanding implicitly. His home was his refuge, and he was glad she felt safe here. "I'm glad you're here," he said simply.
They moved to the couch, settling into the plush cushions. Kerry curled her legs beneath her, her dress rustling softly as she did. Tony sat down close beside her, draping his arm around her instinctively.
"Remember the first time we met?" Tony asked, a nostalgic smile curving his lips.
Kerry laughed softly, her eyes sparkling in the light. "How could I forget? It was at that political fundraiser and You were so serious, so determined to win that argument with that man."
"And you," Tony chuckled, "were the smartest person in the room. Still are."
She shook her head, looking down into her scotch. "That feels like a lifetime ago."
He reached out, gently lifting her chin with his fingers. "But it brought us here. To this moment."
Their eyes locked, the room's warmth enveloping them in a cocoon of intimacy. Tony leaned in slowly, giving her every chance to pull away. But Kerry didn't. Instead, she closed the distance, her lips meeting his in a hungry kiss. When they finally pulled apart, both were breathless, hearts racing.
"Kerry," Tony whispered passionately, his hand resting on her thigh, their face inches apart. You are so beautiful, breathtaking..mesmerizing..My God! You really are Helen of Troy in every sense of the word!"
His fingers ran down her back, his touch gentle but possessive. "You have no idea how many of those Scandal lines I actually meant", he confessed, "my feelings are controlled by the look on your face. I can't sleep without you, I can't breathe without you!"
They kissed again, deeper this time, the intensity growing with each passing second. The world outside ceased to exist, the storm forgotten as they lost themselves in each other. Tony pulled her closer, and Kerry responded in kind, her body pressing against his.
Time seemed to stand still, the light casting dancing shadows around them. Their connection was electric, a powerful force that had drawn them together against all odds.
Eventually, they broke apart, their foreheads resting against each other, breaths mingling. "Stay with me tonight," Tony murmured, his voice thick with emotion.
Kerry smiled, a tear slipping down her cheek. "I wouldn't be anywhere else."
With each whispered word, Tony wove a spell around Kerry, his voice a symphony of desire that echoed in the depths of her soul. Lost in the moment, they surrendered to the irresistible pull of their passion.
Tony pulled back slightly, his breath ragged. "I need you," he whispered, his eyes dark with need. "I need all of you."
Kerry's heart raced, her pulse quickening with every beat. "Then take me," she replied, her voice a husky whisper.
In one swift motion, Tony lifted her into his arms, carrying her to his bedroom. He laid her down gently, his body covering hers. Their lips met again, more urgent this time, their hands exploring each other with a fervor that left them breathless.
Tony's fingers trailed down her body, finding the zipper of her dress. He pulled it down slowly, the anticipation making her gasp. As the dress slipped from her shoulders, he kissed the newly exposed skin, his lips leaving a trail of fire in their wake.
Kerry's hands found the buttons of his shirt, fumbling in her haste to remove it. She pushed it off his shoulders, her fingers tracing the muscles of his chest. Their clothes soon lay discarded on the floor, forgotten in their passionate embrace.
Tony's hands roamed her body, his touch igniting every nerve. Kerry arched into him, her breath coming in soft moans as he worshipped her with his lips and hands. Their bodies moved together, a perfect rhythm that spoke of their deep connection.
His lips moved up to her ear and he whispered to her, "Watch me use my superpower". He kissed his way down her stomach until she gasped at the sensation of his tongue and mouth in a place that was so very sensitive. Her back arched and her eyes rolled as she gripped the sheets. "Watch me." Tony commanded seductively as he paused.
Anxious for him to continue she looked down at him as he continued to pleasure her. "Baby..you make me feel so damn good, don't stop Tony!" She moaned, finally collapsing back further into the pillows in ecstasy.
As she finished, he continued and then stopped, bringing his lips back up to her ear and placed his hand gently but firmly on her neck. "You own me, I'm yours, I always have been and I always will be. I can't truly live without you. No matter where we are, Don't ever forget that!" He breathed heavily.
Tony gently climbed on top of her and they found a rhythm that suited their primal hunger for each other. Their eyes burned with desire and their hands and lips were all over the place. Tony collapsed on her some time later, always the generous lover. He brushed a kiss against her temple. "I love you so much Kerry". She bit her lip and smiled. "I love you so much too Tony", she replied. She snuggled deep into Tony's arms happily, as they both drifted asleep.
