Authors note: Sorry that it has taken me so long to update, but I'm not finished yet. I hope everyone who reads enjoys, and the comments mean so much. Any of you who write know that, so thanks sooo much for commenting. P.S. If you are a Robert Carlyle fan as I am, check him out on 'Once Upon A Time' ABC Sunday night at 8PM. He is FANTASTIC, absolutely the best reason to watch this wonderful show. (I do still miss my Rush though, 'sigh')
Disclaimer: I own neither the show nor the characters. I don’t earn any money with this piece. I just do it for fun.
When Chloe next awoke she was alone, wrapped in the blankets where she and Rush had made love only hours before.
She stretched and looked around to find him dressed in fatigues again and crouched down by the fire poking at it with a stick. He had his back to her and didn’t notice when she got up with a blanket wrapped around her, and came up behind him.
“Penny for your thoughts” she said softly, causing him to jump, tossing the stick into the fire and exclaiming “bloody hell” as he fell back onto the ground. Chloe laughed doubling over “I’m sorry” she finally managed to choke out “I thought you heard me get up” Rush sat glaring at her, until her laughter softened him (it had been a long time since he had heard her laugh), and his annoyance dissolved.
Chloe sat down beside him and nuzzled up to him. To her surprise he pulled way. “Good morning Miss Armstrong” he said formally. She looked at him, wide eyed, “good morning Miss Armstrong?” she parroted. He looked at her and then looked away as if he couldn’t bear to look her in the eyes.
She began to feel angry “what the hell is wrong with you, or did I just dream what happened between us last night?!!”
He hung his head and said in a low voice, so that she had to strain to hear it “last night shouldn’t have happened. It was instinct and I should not have taken advantage of the situation.” He looked up at her, sadness in his eyes “I’m sorry” he finished.
He actually had the nerve to look surprised when she slapped him, hard, tears in her eyes, as she started to sob. “You son of a bitch, how dare you ruin last night.”
She stood up clumsily, wrapped in the blanket and tried to get away from him as fast as she could, but he reached out and grabbed the corner of the blanket and pulled her down, crawling over until she was pinned beneath him.
She beat at his chest with her fist, yelling at him to get off of her, until he grabbed her wrist and pinned them one on each side of her head, just as he had done the night before. She looked up at him, anger blazing in her eyes. “What the bloody hell is wrong with you woman,” he said gruffly “I was just apologizing for taking advantage of you last night. I never intended for that to…” he stopped, as the realization came to him. He looked at her and said quietly “you wanted that to happen didn’t you?”
She turned her head away from his gaze “get off of me” she said through clenched teeth. He didn’t move, instead pressing his question “Chloe, you wanted last night to happen, didn’t you love?” She could feel his breath on her face and smell his scent, he was so close. She moaned softly and turned her head to meet his gaze. As they looked into each others eyes he whispered “what on god’s earth do you want with a man like me?”
“I love you Nicholas, and there’s no help for it” she answered with tears in her eyes. He shook his head “ but I’m twice your age and I don’t have anything to offer you, love. I‘m obsessed with my work, and I‘m not known for my people skills you know.” She had to laugh at that last one as she pulled a hand free to caress his face. Smiling at him with tears in her eyes she said softly “how about love, Nicholas, can you offer me love?”
He blinked as he looked at her, and then taking her hand in his and kissing her fingers said “aye love, I can offer you love in abundance.”
“That’s all I require” she whispered, and reached up to weave her hand through his soft brown locks and pull him down for a blistering kiss that left both of them breathless. “Oh god Chloe” he moaned “please be sure that this is what you want,.. that I am what you want, because if you are mine I won’t share. Do you understand?”
“I understand Nicholas,” she breathed, “and I want you like I have never wanted anyone or anything in my whole life. I love you more than I thought it was possible to love another person, and I am completely and utterly yours.”
Her words seemed to cause a breakdown of the wall that he had so carefully constructed to keep his emotions hidden, and cause others to actually believe that he had none. His lips came down on hers in a searing kiss that took her breath away and he began pulling the blanket from around her.
She kissed him back with everything that she had, clinging to him, and tearing at his clothes, ripping the front of his shirt open in her haste to get to him. They continued pulling and tugging at each other, driven by a passion that neither could control, until he was deep inside of her.
He seemed almost frantic as he thrust hard into her, completely lost in his passion and out of control for one of the few times in his life. She clung to him as he took her in a way no man ever had, and felt the pleasure building deep inside of her. As she felt the white hot waves explode from her loins, she bucked up into him uncontrollably, only able to choke out “oh god!!” before she was unable to speak at all.
As she clenched around him, his body shuddered and he bit down hard on her shoulder, ejaculating deep inside of her with several quick hard thrust, his cries ripped from deep inside of him.
They collapsed together for several minutes as each recovered. Chloe clutched him to her and finally gasped “Oh my god Nick, that was the most amazing fuck I’ve ever had… that was incredible!”
He raised himself up onto his elbows so that he could look her in the eyes, and with a wolfish grin on his face said quite seriously “oh love, that was just the beginning.” He then lowered his lips to hers and she moaned as he pulled her beneath him again.
