“I know,” he said in a mildly arrogant manner. Squeezing her hand to his body, he began to walk toward the airport terminal. Hopefully they’d get through quickly which, given their Agency, it was highly likely that everyone and everything had been greased. At least at this end.
Everything moved quickly. They were through security and into the car to take them to the hotel before she knew it. Her hand was still in his and she looked over at him to smile. “I think I could get used to this.” Being able to touch him, hold his hand. Being close to him in general.
“Good,” he said softly. Leaning in, he brushed his lips to her ear. “The driver is CIA, but we should be careful not to step too far out of character around others. I know you know your job, sweetheart, but do be careful, yeah?” He slid his lips over her neck and bit her gently, just a small scrape of his teeth to her shoulder.
She shivered and nodded. “I know my job.” She bit her lower lip and shifted slightly. She shivered and crossed her legs, squeezing her thighs tightly together because she was leaking and ready to come at the drop of a hat.
David brushed his lips back up her neck and bit her earlobe gently. “Are you wet?” he asked, his voice pitched low for her ears only. “Because I’m getting the definite impression that either you are uncomfortable or so wet that you’re not sure what to do.”
“I’m soaking wet. If you touched me right now I would come,” she said without even a pause, her voice very low against his ear. “It will be a damn miracle if I am able to get up to our suites without attacking you.”
Laughing softly, he drew back to look at her. “Promises, promises,” he murmured. A quick kiss to her temple and he drew her into his arms to just hold for the ride. Likely a good thing. She needed time to get her body back under control before they reached their hotel.
Thank god, they made the hotel and she let him help her out of the car. She didn’t even wait for them to unload her luggage before she walked into the hotel, David at her side. They acted as an über-rich couple, knowing that their employee would bring their bags in for them.
Moving to the front desk, David slipped off his sunglasses and hooked them in the open collar of his shirt. He took up a pose of the bored rich, as though it was a trial for him to wait. When they made it up to the desk, he told them their cover surname in a bored tone. The employee dug it up and then started to gush, as was expected. David took the key cards from the employee with a disdainful air and passed them over to their driver. The CIA guy was good at his role, rushing ahead of them for the elevator while they made their way at a slightly slower, leisurely pace.
The ride up to their room was quiet, both of them acting bored and uninterested in the surroundings, as if they’d done it a hundred or so times and it held nothing new for them. But she knew that he was taking everything in, just as she was, of what they could see through the glass of the elevator as they rose up to the top floor. It paid to know where everything was, something they both had already done with the floor plans of not only this hotel, but the one they’d be in in Germany.
Following their employee as he hustled to their suite, David looked even more bored, all until they were inside the room with the door shut. Then his focus snapped into place, laser-sharp as he looked around the room.
“It’s clean,” the CIA driver told them. “Last sweep was ten minutes ago and we’ve had a watcher on the door since then. No one in or out, not even the staff here. You’re free to talk as you would without worry. If you go out, make sure you give us a half hour warning and we’ll come back and keep it under watch on the inside. You’ll have two agents outside across the street in an apartment keeping general watch on the place. Any issues, signal through that window pane there,” he pointed to the one to use.
“Thank you, Agent Michaels,” David said as he shook the man’s hand. “Sorry you got stuck on this rotation.”
“No worries.” He grinned. “Most excitement I’ve had in the last few months. I’ll see you in the morning if you want the car for anything. My direct line.” He passed off a card. “Otherwise, I will see you in two days for the trip back to the airport.” With a nod to Hope, he left the room and left them very much alone.
David pocketed the card that only had a phone number on it, nothing else to identify the Agent that was their driver. And then he turned to look at her, his gaze skimming down her body slowly before coming back up to her face.
Hope looked up at David with a grin on her face. “So, husband, now that you have me alone just what do you plan to do with me?” As she walked closer she began to pull her jacket off and tossed it over the back of a chair and began to undo the buttons on her shirt. Her heels, though, remained on.
“Well, wife.” He paused to watch her, an eyebrow creeping up slightly. “I think that whatever my plan was, you may have just found one to trump it. Whatever are you doing, darling?” he asked, tucking his hands into his pockets and rocking back on his heels.
She paused in undressing and shrugged. “Well, I had thought that we could get naked. Remember I said something about a bath? I was hopeful that we could perhaps get naked and do just that. Unless you have other plans, that is?”
“If I did, I really can’t remember them so, please, proceed.” He waved a hand in an empirical manner. Smiling slowly, he tipped his head. “I do have to say I’m liking the show, a lot. So keep going while I see if I can’t possibly dredge up whatever it was I’d been thinking before you started to strip.”
“Oh darling, I really think that you should get naked as well,” she said as she popped open another button. Her fingers rubbed over the tops of her breasts that were pushed up lovingly by the bra that cost more than her average weekly salary. “So? Are you going to work on getting naked with me?”
“Uh, sure,” he said, staring at her fingers. It seemed to take him a moment for the request to actually reach his brain. Then all bets were off as he kicked off his shoes, got rid of his jacket and the shirt. The belt went flying out of view and he yanked off his socks. But he paused with his hands on his fly, only the button undone as he watched and waited.
She tugged off her shirt and then unzipped her skirt. She began to shimmy out of it until she stood before him only in her bra, thong, silk stockings and heels. “Ignore the scar.” She told him as she walked closer to him. “It will only piss you off more.” Her eyes were on his hands on the fly of his pants. “Come on, David,” she whispered.
But his eyes were focused on it. Pulling her in closer, he pressed a kiss to her shoulder. “You still shouldn’t have been hurt,” he whispered. “I plan on kicking my brother’s ass for letting you get hurt like that.” His fingers undid her bra and, as he drew back, he pulled it off and dropped it to the side. “Let’s go and have this bath,” he said softly.
“He likely couldn’t have helped. Hell, I didn’t even know that there was someone sneaking behind me until I felt the blade sliding in,” she admitted with a shrug. Her hands moved up his chest and then locked around his neck. “I love the way it feels to have you skin to skin with me.” She hated to make that admission, but she had to. This was David, someone that she had vowed never to hold back from.
“You’re so soft,” he whispered against her cheek. His hands, roughened slightly, slid down her back to cup her ass and pull her closer to him. Turning them, he began to walk her backward across the room. Only when her heels clicked on tile did she realize they were in the bathroom. “You are going to have to lose the heels, wife.”
“And my thong and stockings.” She kicked off her heels and watched him. “You going to help me, husband?” She was enjoying herself, a great deal. “Oh, and the stockings are real silk, so if you wouldn’t mind being careful with them I would appreciate it.”
Snorting, he moved his hands to tug at her thong before lifting her onto the edge of the vanity. “I think you should pull them off. With the calluses I have, I’ll ruin them, and they are rather lovely. But I prefer you without them on.” He smiled slight
ly.
She lifted one leg and put her foot on his chest. Slowly, her eyes never leaving his, she rolled the stockings down. Dropping the silk roll to the floor, she repeated the same on the other leg, and this time she wrapped one leg around his middle and let the other settle over his shoulder. “I’m very flexible.” As he very well knew.
“I’ve noticed.” He laughed quietly. Stepping in closer to her, he ran his fingers up her leg over his shoulder slowly. Turning his head, David pressed a kiss to her knee and then her thigh. “Such soft skin, all so soft and smooth, silky even.” Pressing in closer, he caught her lips in a kiss, sucking on her lower lip for a moment before drawing back slowly.
“I even got a Brazilian for this mission,” she teased him, with her hands moving down his chest and lower. “I want to touch you, David. Come on, your pants?” She waited for him to remove that last barrier between them.
“I’ve been pointedly trying to ignore that fact since I pulled off your thong. But you are definitely making it very difficult for a man to hold onto any semblance of concentration, woman.” Letting her go, he undid his slacks and let them fall. Commando, gotta love a man that had his priorities straight. Kicking the material aside, he stepped closer once more.
“Damn, I really and truly love the fact that you are a commando kinda guy.” Licking her lips, she let her hands move down his chest and cupped him boldly. “God, I love just how hard you are.” And she did, too. “And how the hell you have kept this hidden from me is just beyond me.” Her hands stroked over him. She couldn’t help herself.
“It’s amazing how easy it is to distract you by just sighing in a disapproving manner.” He ran a hand over her thigh and squeezed gently. “Hope, baby, you keep that up and we’re both going to be sorely disappointed by the outcome. You more than me, I will admit, but since I want to be buried inside of you the first time I come in your presence, behave yourself, woman.”
“Oh yes, you certainly do that disapproving sigh so very well.” She grinned and shook her head at his comment and said, “David, we both know that you will ensure that we both get what we need. You know I’m clean and on birth control, so can we please make love without condoms?” They were always tested for everything because of their jobs, but she wanted this first time with him to be skin to skin, and every other moment after that as well.
He stared at her for a long time. “Only if you are sure. You know nothing is one hundred percent foolproof. But I want that as well, Hope. There’s been enough between the two of us, most of it on my head, I know. But no more,” he said softly, bringing his hand up to cup her cheek.
“I agree.” Leaning into his hand that cupped her cheek, she closed her eyes and sighed. “I love you, David,” she whispered honestly. “You are the one I need. The one that I want. I need this with you. Yes, I know that nothing is one hundred percent, but the truth is that no matter what happens, we are together in this, now and always.”
A brush of his thumb to her lips had her opening her eyes. “As long as we’re on the same page, I’m for whatever the gorgeous, naked woman says. My daddy always told me, never argue with a naked woman. Well, he had a few other things to say on that subject but they are likely best left unmentioned at this point in time.”
“That’s a very, very smart man, then,” she teased and pulled him closer. “Now. Bath or shower? I’m thinking bath so that we don’t hurt ourselves in the process because I really, really need you, David. I want and I need you to be inside of me sooner rather than later, please?”
“Definitely a bath, then.” He nodded. Shifting his hand to the back of her neck, he pulled her closer and kissed her hard. Sinking his teeth into her lower lip, he gave it a small bite. Drawing away with a grin, he went to the bathtub and started the water. “It even has jets,” he commented, and bent over, giving her one hell of a view.
“Oh that’s awesome.” Hope jumped from the vanity and moved to David’s side. Her hand slid to his ass and gave it a squeeze. “You have a gorgeous ass,” she said with a snicker. “Now then, I’m getting into the tub, or do you want to step into the tub first?”
Straightening up, he turned toward her and slapped a hand on her ass. “I think you have a hell of a pretty ass yourself. But let’s let it fill up a bit first before either one of us get into the tub. Then I’ll get in and you can join me.”
“Sounds good to me.” She turned so that she could hold onto him again. Her arms were around his neck and pulling him close. “I think that, in the meantime, you should kiss me. How’s that sound?” she asked with a hopeful grin.
“Like someone is just a little greedy.” He chuckled. But he did give her what she wanted, sort of. He didn’t kiss her straight out, but teased her instead. Little kisses to her cheeks, lips, chin and nose. His lips drifted over her face before getting close for a real kiss and drifting away again.
“Oh, you are a tease.” She let her nails bite into his shoulders and she tugged at him. “Kiss me,” she demanded, low and simple words, but she wanted it. She wanted and needed for him to kiss her. “We will get into the tub after, but before I want another kiss, dammit. And yes, I am greedy.”
“Demanding too, don’t forget that.” He laughed softly. Cupping her face, he finally gave her just what she wanted, no, what she needed. He kissed her full-on, hard, fast and with enough heat to scorch the bathroom walls around them. He sucked on her tongue and pressed closer, his erection rubbing her lower belly as he teased and tormented her mouth.
When she finally pulled back, she licked her lips. “Nice.” She shuddered. “I could live with kisses like that often, please.” Leaning in, she kissed him once again. This was what she wanted, this was what she needed. Him. “Now, the tub is full enough that we can even turn on the jets, if you would like.”
“Good plan,” he murmured, sliding his tongue over his lips. Pulling back, he stepped into the tub and then sat down. Holding out a hand to her, he helped her in, even while turning the water off. “Hit the button for the jets when you settle down, if you would.”
She hit the button and stood over him. “Where do you want me? At your side, or at your feet?” she asked with a smirk. “Or do you want me to slide down over that cock that’s bobbing in the water, begging for me to taste it, touch it? God, I want you.” Words tumbled out of her mouth, she couldn’t seem to stop them.
Laughing at her, he tugged her down into his lap, his cock sliding over her clit as he held her to him. “I love when you get all distracted, your mouth just runs away. It’s adorable.” Pressing a kiss to her chin. he slid a hand down over her ass and between her thighs. His fingers found her weeping slit and stroked her, slowly and with just enough firmness to his touch to make her hungry for more.
“I just have to make sure to keep from being distracted when in the field.” Actually, when she was in the field, she was nothing but professional and he knew it. She leaned her head back and shuddered. “I love when you do that.” She was rubbing herself against his cock and fingers. She wanted to take him inside of her body, but she was waiting, waiting for him. She was waiting for him to make that first move.
“You would never be distracted in the field, that I know for sure. Hell, you barely blinked the last time we were both out in the field and I was shot, for which I’m grateful. You took the bastard down who did shoot me.” He pushed two fingers into her sheath and stroked her gently. “And I know you’d do it again if it came to that.”
“Damn straight.” She moaned and began to rock on his fingers. She began to ride his fingers, her hand going down to his cock and starting to move her hands up and down on him. “Do another. I want to be ready for you.” God, it had been far too long since she had sex, and lord, she needed him to help her get through all of this.
He did as she asked—demanded, whatever. Three fingers pressed into her body, stretching her and readying her for what she really wanted buried between her legs. “Dare I be so bold as to ask just how long it’s been for you?” he whispered. His
voice sounded strained and his grip was tighter around her waist.
“Six years,” she moaned, “Five months, three days.” Exactly how long she had been on his team. “David.” She shuddered. “That feels so good.” She loved the way that it felt, so very much. “I need you. Now.” It had been far, far too long.
He withdrew his fingers and held her up higher. The next thing she felt pressed to her lower lips was the head of his cock. “Slowly, sweetheart,” he said. Pressing her down over his cock he helped to steady her as she took over, taking him into her body.
She braced herself with her hands on his shoulders and leaned in, her forehead to his. “I’ve waited so long for this.” She felt full, so good and so full. The jets hitting them both just right, the heated water adding to the sensations, and this. God, him. “David, you feel so perfect. So right. So good.” She moaned.
“Heaven,” he whispered against her lips. “Absolute and pure heaven.” Kissing her gently, he hugged her to him, her breasts pressing to his chest as she sank deeper over his cock. One hand on her ass massaged her buttocks, while the other slid around to squeeze a breast.
She soon had him fully inside of her body and she whimpered. “You fit perfectly. And you are right.” She leaned in closer to him and smiled. “This is heaven,” she agreed and lifted, lowered, and brushed her lips to his. “More.”
Sliding his tongue to her lip, he took her mouth in a deeper kiss. His fingers found her nipple and tugged gently. Sucking on her tongue, he lifted her up his cock. It was a slow move designed to drive them both nuts, and it worked, too. “Move,” he growled at her, a small nip of his teeth to her lip.
She did just that. She moved up and down on him faster, harder. She kissed him with everything that she had inside of her and loved it. She nipped at his lower lip and shuddered. “David,” she whispered against his lips and kissed him again. This was it. She was so close.
