Chapter One
Basement Office
"John, I thought you switched on the fan a moment ago?" He
looked up to the still dormant ceiling fan then across to the switch.
"I did."
"Not something else broken in this place! Tell me John does
maintenance ever come down here or is our office not even on their
building plans?" Reyes looked a little annoyed as she fanned
herself with her makeshift paper fan.
A heatwave had hit the city and Doggett and Reyes were in their office
doing routine paperwork in muggy heat without air conditioning.
They'd already discarded as much clothing as they could safely
get away with in each other's presence. If she was home under
the same conditions Reyes would be down to her underwear by now but
she new her partner would be a little distracted by this so there she
was with pants and a shirt unbuttoned far enough to let in a little
air. Her socks and shoes had long been discarded.
Doggett leaned over his desk writing and reading. He didn't seem
to be as concerned about the heat as she but had taken off his tie and
unbuttoned a couple of shirt buttons too.
"Let me check." Doggett got out of his chair and flicked
the switch again. "Looks like it's dead."
Reyes, near the end of her tether climbed on the table and tried to
reach the fan to give it a push manually. "What are you doing
Monica?"
"Maybe it's just stuck for some reason." She
stretched precariously at the table's edge as Doggett walked
over to her.
"Monica, get down, you could fall. Come on I'll go find
maintenance and get this fixed. We can't work under these
conditions."
Just then Reyes felt her feet slipping and knew she couldn't
balance any longer. It was one of those times when it's probably
better to fall rather than risk more serious injury by trying not to.
"John!" The world spun for a moment as gravity took hold.
She had expected to hit the hard floor but she landed on something
soft. The small groan below her brought her to her senses.
She had fallen on Doggett. Here she was lying on top of him. They were
chest-to-chest, face-to-face and Reyes' right knee was resting
on his groin.
They would look back on the situation and laugh but now the
temperature in the room began to increase and not from the outside
heat as they looked into each other's eyes and saw desire. This
was a moment that could not be lost. They both knew what they must do
then and moved in to kiss. It was a slow, measured kiss with all the
emotion of a first time touching of lips. Then they went further and
opened their mouths letting each other delve with hot tongues.
Doggett's hands made sweeping movements over her back then
wrapped around her and rolled her over so that he was on top. His left
leg was now between Reyes' and his hips lightly touched hers.
The kissing had become more heated and their hips were grinding when
they heard a sound at the door. Realizing the world hadn't
stopped around them like they'd thought Doggett quickly got up
and Reyes followed. Both sets of eyes saw a foot tapping Assistant
Director Skinner at the door.
.......................................................
"I can explain sir, um, I was just on my desk trying to see if
the fan was working and I fell onto John and..." Skinner was
just shaking his head and Doggett was standing there head down, one
hand was on his hip and the other rubbing the back of his head. They
had been caught all right. How could they explain their way out of
this one?
"Agent Reyes, how long has this been going on down here? Maybe
you two need an office closer to mine so I can keep an eye on you
two." Doggett just shook his head and walked back to his desk
leaving Reyes to explain.
"I'm very sorry sir, it was just an accident. It
won't happen again." She brushed her self down and as she
did so realized her shirt was a little more open at the front exposing
her black lace bra. As Skinner spoke she rearranged her clothing.
"An accident? So if I hadn't come when I did would you
have stopped there?"
Reyes was desperate to change the topic but had dug herself into a
hole.
"Look Sir, really that was a one off. It wasn't meant to
happen. It's so hot down here that we just lost all senses for a
moment."
He seemed to be satisfied so continued.
"Your phone doesn't seem to be working so I've come
to let you know there's a case. Get dressed you two and meet me
in my office in ten." With that he was off and down the hall
leaving two stunned FBI agents.
Reyes hadn't realized she'd been holding her breath until
she was gasping for air. When in control again she very sheepishly
went back to her desk for her shoes.
"Monica, I'm so sorry." There was concern in
Doggett's voice. "I shouldn't have done that. I
promise I won't put you in that situation again." Reyes
could hardly maintain eye contact with her partner. She knew this was
all wrong but she was confused by how good she felt. All the times
she'd thought of Doggett's lips on hers and finally
they'd kissed. It was wonderful but taboo.
"That's all right John, let's put it down to the
heat." They both said these words on the outside but now they
had initiated first contact the feeling wasn't going to be so
hard to shake.
Once presentable Doggett ushered Reyes out the door to the elevator.
What did their job on the X-Files have in store for them this time?
As they entered the elevator Doggett spoke.
"Is there anything in our office that's working? Really
gotta get those maintenance guys down here."
Reyes laughed a little knowing exactly what *was* working and it had
something to do with her partner and what she'd felt between
them as they kissed.
Chapter Two
AD Skinner's Office
"I'm not sure I should be giving you this case Agents
because of what I've just witnessed."
"Sir, please. I told you it was a one off. You just caught us
out." Reyes pleaded.
"Agent Doggett, you've been quiet about this. What do you
have to say?"
"Sir, I agree with Agent Reyes, it was a mistake and we'll
be more careful in future." He shifted in his seat then looked
across briefly to his partner. Reyes was looking straight ahead at
Skinner.
He seemed to be satisfied for now, nodded and sat down pulling a thick
folder from underneath some papers.
"This is the file that has been accumulating over this
case."
"Accumulating sir?" Doggett reached forward as Skinner
held out the folder to him. He immediately opened it and started
reading, that expression of concentration covering his face.
"For the past year as far as we know there's been a small
township in Minnesota by one of the lakes that has been experiencing a
phenomenon that no one has been able to explain."
"Heatwave?" Doggett looks up from his reading to Skinner
then across to his partner beside him. "According to this here
the town of Laketon has been in a heatwave since May last year, well
that was the first time it was reported. Is that right sir?"
"Yes, Agent Doggett. This could have been going on longer but
there is no proof."
"So why us sir? Why the X-Files?" Reyes shook her head
slightly as she spoke.
"Because Agent Reyes no one sent there so far has been able to
come up with any reason why a small town like that would stay in a
ninety degree heatwave all year round."
"Ninety degree heatwave? I can't believe it."
"Well believe it Agent Doggett, it's all there in many
case reports."
"So what makes you think we will succeed where others have
failed?" Doggett kept his furrowed gaze on Skinner as though he
was listening to his words and reading his mind at the same time.
"You're our last resort." Doggett's demeanor
immediately altered.
"Oh that's great. Sounds like you are expecting us to fail
too."
"No, I am expecting you to succeed." Doggett and Reyes
remained quiet while he proceeded.
"Since you came to the X-Files Doggett your determination and
sometimes tunnel vision has helped solve many of your cases." He
then glanced at Reyes. "And Reyes your calmness and coming at
the situation coolly and from a different perspective has given you an
excellent track record since you've been partners."
"So by putting both our skills to this task you think we have a
good chance of solving this unusual climatic event?" Reyes was
looking from Skinner to Doggett as she spoke; she wanted this all to
be clear. "So how do you want us to come at it sir? Do we go in
as say tourists?"
"No you go in as yourselves. I want you to be up front with
them. I want them to know there is FBI presence in the town to give
them hope that their weather can once again become normal."
"So when do we leave?" Doggett began to get out of his
chair.
"Not so fast Agent Doggett." He sat again appearing
puzzled. The assistant director then spoke in a slower voice wanting
to make himself very clear.
"That is why agents I cannot have any of that behaviour I saw
down in your office before. We need level heads here and cogent
thinking?"
"Yes sir." Reyes was the first to speak.
"Agent Doggett, you are FBI agents on this case not a couple of
teenagers."
"Yes sir, we understand. So when do we leave?"
Chapter Three
Reyes Apartment.
"So what's our accommodation like John?" Reyes
called from the bedroom as she finisheed packing her bag for an
unknown length of stay in this small town in Minnesota.
"Says here we have a room each at a place called Lakeside
Resort. Sounds more like a vacation than a case." He laughed
silently to himself.
"Any fishing or water-skiing, those sorts of activities?"
Reyes was smiling as she entered the living room struggling with
suitcase in hand. Doggett chuckled,
"Very funny Monica, but I don't think we'll have
time for leisure activities there and besides they'll be
expecting us to work on this case to solve it and hopefully get their
weather back on track as soon as we can."
"What do you think it may be John?"
"I really don't know. I've never heard of this
happening before especially just to a small town; maybe a larger area.
Why just this town of, I think the file says two hundred or so
residents? I'm sure with good police work we'll be able to
figure it out."
"That may be John but did you see all the reports in that file?
Looks like the whole FBI has been there ahead of us and they've
turned up nothing. They just confirm the excess unrelenting heat. They
do say that the town's folk have been very friendly and
cooperative."
"What do you think Monica? Have you come across anything similar
to this before?"
"Never. I've read of cases of days and weeks of
unrelenting weather conditions but not almost a year. All I can think
of is maybe there's something focussing in on them from
space."
"Come on Monica, you don't believe in all that alien shit.
There's not been one bit of hard evidence to prove the presence
of alien life outside this earth."
"I know John but that doesn't mean there isn't any.
Extraterrestrial beings may not have been able to communicate with us
yet or maybe the universe is so sparse with sentient life that our
nearest neighbours may be just too far away." Doggett just shook
his sceptical head. "Who says it has to be alien anyway. Maybe
it's something to do with the satellites that orbit the
world."
"Oh well whatever it is let's be on our way. We need to be
there, to experience all this first hand, to be able to make any more
judgements."
"So did you bring your swimsuit?" Reyes lifted her
eyebrows a little and tried to push the thought out of her mind of
this man in a swimsuit showing a lot more skin than she'd been
used to.
"No, I really don't think I'll need it."
"Oh?" Reyes produced a cheeky grin.
"What I mean Agent Reyes is that I probably won't have
time to go swimming."
"Okay I won't bring mine either."
"Are you ready to go?" Doggett took Reyes heavy bag from
the floor and she raced back into the bedroom.
"I thought we might need this though." She held up a tube
of sunscreen. "You know what John? I think the ninety degree
weather will be probably more tolerable than our office at the
moment."
He laughed and added, "Hopefully maintenance will have visited
by the time we get back. How many times will you fall on me before I
suffer real injury." They both laughed and then went a little
quiet.
"We need to talk John." He knew exactly what she meant.
"We've denied to ourselves what happened between us in the
office before Skinner came in."
"Monica, we can't let this go on further. It needs to be
nipped in the bud now." Reyes could tell that Doggett looked a
little concerned and hoped he'd liked the initial contact as
much as she. She wasn't sure how she could keep her hands off
him now though.
"I can't forget what happened and we can't just take
it back. I enjoyed it too much. Did you enjoy it John?" He
didn't seem accustomed to talking so freely like this but Reyes
wanted to know how Doggett felt.
"Yes, it was good but we'll just have to remember it and
not revisit. Fuck it Monica, we have a job to do. We are FBI partners
and we must act that way. Promise me you will keep your mind on our
case just like me?" He looked straight into her eyes as he said
this.
"I promise, my job is important to me too. Now that I know how
you felt I can concentrate on solving this case."
They both nodded with resolution as they left and locked up.
.........................
Chapter Four
Laketon, Minnesota, 5.00 pm
"The signpost says one mile to go. I can't feel any heat
yet." Monica opened the window of the rental car that Doggett
was driving and kept it down.
"Maybe since we got the case the heatwave has righted
itself?" He looked briefly across to his partner.
"I find that hard to believe but crazier things have been known
to happen."
"You're telling me, since working on the X-Files
I've seen and experienced my share of the bizarre."
"Look John, there's the city limits sign up ahead."
They were silent as it came closer.
Suddenly there was rush of raw heat in the car through Reyes'
open window.
"What the fuck!" Doggett almost swerved off the road.
"Shit!" exclaimed Reyes as she wound up the window to
shield them from the sudden burst of heat. "Did you notice that
too John?"
"You mean that charge of heat happened the exact time we passed
the city limits sign."
"Yes, that's so weird." Reyes was looking all around
them for anything that could explain what had just happened.
"Nothing out of the ordinary as far as I can see." Doggett
also quickly glanced around for confirmation. All he could see were
some open fields and a sprinkling of houses over the nearby hills and
beside the road.
"We need the air conditioning, noticing the warmth yet
John?"
"I think it's that small blue button there." Reyes
pushed it and the cool air began to restore normality to the cabin
atmosphere.
"Thank goodness for air conditioning at times like these. What
would we do without it?"
"Yes John, this town probably has shares in the air conditioning
industry." They both smiled and nodded.
"I suggest we find our accommodation first then check in with
the local police, what do you think Monica?"
"Sounds good to me." She lifted up the paper that
explained directions to Lakeside Resort.
"There should be a turn off coming up soon. There! See that sign
up ahead?"
"Lakeside Resort. You know Monica? The name of this place
suggests that it isn't normally one two FBI agents would stay
at. Resort sounds a little too flashy to me."
"Perhaps they're trying to attract tourists along. Maybe
the weather like this day in day out they're not attracting so
many tourists."
"I suppose you're right."
They headed through a copse of trees and into more bushland. There was
a heat haze all around and the sun was glary making the two agents
glad they'd remembered their sunglasses. Reyes retrieved them
from the glove compartment and handed Doggett his. Such a simple thing
as wearing sunglasses made Doggett look so sexy, Reyes thought. She
was trying so hard to keep those thoughts off her mind. More and more
her mind was heading towards wanting a relationship with this man that
was more than friendship. It had been becoming harder and harder since
their partnership to keep those thoughts at bay. After that spur of
the moment steamy kiss they'd shared she wanted him more than
ever now.
"Looks like there's a turn off to the resort over the next
hill." A smaller road led off to the left. There were trees on
either side now and in the distance they could make out the shimmer of
the lake. They couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the
resort. Spotted around were log cabins, which looked like the
accommodation, and in the center was a huge wooden two storey mansion.
The two agents were now very surprised at what they saw. Around the
mansion and the cabins were beautifully manicured gardens. The view of
the lake was magnificent. The colourful mountains in the background
mirrored in the water with ethereal picture quality. This resort
looked very expensive, how could their FBI expenses ever cover
anything even close to this.
"I can't believe it. Who booked this for us?"
"I just assumed it was Skinner's secretary. Looks as
though it'd cost a pretty penny." Doggett found a parking
spot close by to the main mansion and sat back feeling the air
conditioning almost committing it to memory before the expected hot
journey from the car to reception.
"Must have really cut the rates to be able to afford this
place." Reyes opened the car door and once again felt the
searing heat after experiencing the frigid cabin air.
"Oh god John, we just got our second taste of what we're
going to have to put up with whenever we're outside."
"I can see these guys must also have shares in the sun block
industry as well." Reyes loved it when Doggett made one of his
funny quips. "Let's go."
"Hello, I'm Agent John Doggett and this is Agent Monica
Reyes, you're expecting us I hope." The receptionist was
an attractive woman in her forties with a nice smile and her hair tied
up above her head. She had on a halter-top and wore shorts that ended
mid thighs. She was definitely dressed for the heat.
"Yes of course Agents, happy you could visit us. We
haven't had many tourists of late especially since the weather
turned on us like this." Doggett looked at the barometer on the
wall behind reception and read ninety-eight degrees.
"We'd love to talk with you later if that's
okay." Reyes smiled at the woman.
"Yes of course, you've probably had a tiring journey. My
name's Karen by the way. If you need anything just call. We have
a restaurant that's open from six and feel free to use any of
our facilities while you're here." She handed each of them
a brochure. "Now follow me and I'll take you to your
cabin." The two agents stayed a little behind Karen just out of
earshot.
"Mon, have you noticed the temperature in here?"
"Yes, it's almost as hot as outside. Where's the air
conditioning?" Reyes looked around then up. "There are
ceiling fans but they're not even going. That's
odd." They both readjusted their collars as they kept following
the receptionist to a cabin between the main mansion and the lake.
Karen unlocked the door then gave Doggett the key, as he was the
closest.
"Remember agents just call when you need anything, I'm
here to look to see you enjoy your stay." With that she left
them looking at each other bewildered.
.............................
"Come on John there has to be some kind of cool air around here
somewhere or I'm about to strip off and dump myself in the
bath." Reyes closed the front door and began searching the
cabin.
"Oh?" Doggett was a little taken aback by her statement
and the image of Reyes in just her underwear was pushing its way to
the front of his mind. He had to shake his head to push it back again.
"This place is amazing. Have you seen the beds in our rooms?
They're huge." She headed to the kitchenette and began
looking through the cupboards. Doggett looked around also then met her
there. "Look John, they're all stocked." She opened
the fridge then looked over to her partner with a big grin. "We
may not even need to go to the restaurant, everything is here that we
need."
"Except air conditioning."
As if reminded of their plight Reyes reached for her shirt buttons and
undid a couple then ballooned it out letting in some air.
"I need cool air and I need it now." She looked up.
"We have a ceiling fan. I hope it works better than the office
one." She went to switch it on. They both sighed relief as it
began to spin.
"I've looked everywhere and cannot find any other way of
cooling this place down. This is so strange. Why wouldn't they
have cooling here?"
"Maybe they're just used to the heat. Look John, how about
you get the car and bring in the luggage while I'll fix some
cool drinks."
"Fine by me." He looked at his watch. "It's
five thirty. I suggest we check in at the town's police station
this evening then begin investigations tomorrow. They've put up
with the heatwave this long, they can wait one more night."
"Okay then but can we last that long?"
"There are ways Monica."
He left her to ponder the look on his face. He had a few ideas up his
sleeve and she hoped they involved them being close but she doubted
it. He'd seemed very determined when he'd looked into her
eyes and had said < Promise me you will keep your mind on our case
just like me?> His words stood out. Her thoughts turned
devious. If he wanted her mind on the case then it would be, she was
as determined as he to solve this where all the others before had
failed. However there would be times when they'd need to relax
to clear their minds; that was only natural. That kiss of his was too
good just to throw it all away; she wanted more.
Picking up the resort's brochure in one hand she opened the
fridge door with the other and got out some lemonade cans and placed
them on the bench. As she went to the cupboard to extract two tall
glasses she read the front of the pamphlet.
"Lakeside Resort, swimming, fishing, golf, tennis.... Sounds
like heaven. Why are we here of all places and not in the town?"
She found herself muttering. By the time she'd arranged
everything on a tray including ice in the glasses and a packet of
chocolate chip cookies from the pantry Doggett was opening the front
door and dragging in the bags.
"Phew, it's hot out there, not much cooler in here I might
add." He looked over to the wall. "I see we also have a
prominent barometer. It's almost like they're proud of
their weather? It's dropped a little and is now ninety-six
degrees."
"I don't know about you but I have to get a little cooler
John. Just let me know if you feel uncomfortable." The expectant
look on Doggett's face made her inwardly smile. Standing up and
slowly undoing her shirt buttons one at a time she kept an eye on her
partner. When they were all undone she opened her shirt a little
exposing her pale blue sheer lace bra, reached over to the lemonade
can and began running it first over her neck then over her chest and
down to her midriff. With all the sighs to go with this action she
made sure the movements were slow and seductive.
Looking up she saw Doggett just staring open-mouthed.
"John, are you all right? Come on, here's your
lemonade." She reached for his can, opened it and poured it over
the ice in the glass then walked over to hand it to him.
"I don't mind if you want to strip down a little too
John." She smiled warmly at him not letting him see the true
reason for her words. At times like these she wished she could read
minds. The look on his face told her this action had made an
impression.
As she sipped her lemonade she had a mental image of undoing
Doggett's shirt buttons for him and exposing that wonderful
chest of his and feeling all over it with her fingers. She leaned back
in the chair with eyes closed hoping that this man was watching her.
..........................
Chapter Five
Laketon Police Station 6pm
The two FBI agents soaked in as much of the cool air as they could
sitting in their car just outside Laketon Police Station.
"I can see us sleeping in this thing tonight Monica. I
don't know if I'm looking forward to a hot, muggy night.
Was never fond of them."
"Either this or an ice bath." He looked across to his
partner and smiled at her comment.
"Okay, here goes." With determination Doggett opened the
car door and was momentarily still as the heat and humidity once again
hit his face. Here it was six in the evening, it was getting darker
and yet the temperature seemed to have only dropped a few degrees.
Reyes also exited and they made their way to the front door.
"Ah, you must be Agents Doggett and Reyes from the FBI." A
rather attractive looking man a little taller than Doggett approached
them all smiles and shook both their hands. As he took Reyes' he
held it for a little longer then looked into her eyes before
introducing himself.
"I'm Detective Raymond Meyers, just call me Ray. I was
expecting you two a little earlier." He began walking away and
the agents followed.
"Yes Ray, I hope you can understand we needed a little time to
adjust to this heat of yours." Doggett stared at the man as he
led them to his office. Reyes had seen that expression before; it
wasn't unlike the look he gave Assistant Director Brad Follmer
often when they crossed paths.
"So you're here to try to explain this heatwave of
ours." The detective sat back in his chair with a smug
expression that seemed very much like one Follmer would have. Reyes
began to see perhaps the reason for Doggett's response.
"You don't seem too concerned about it." Doggett
frowned at the man. "In fact the people we've met so far
don't seem at all concerned by the unusual climate. Explain
that."
Still with a cocky smile he leant his head on one side.
"Oh, I suppose we're used to it. We love the small
community we have here. Those who couldn't stand the heat left
ages ago." It was now Reyes' chance to speak.
"Detective Meyers."
"Ray," he interjected and gave her a half wink that
Doggett noticed.
"Ray, so you're not phased whether we find out the answers
or not? Who called us then? Who contacted the FBI?"
"Agent Reyes, we tried to solve the problem a year ago and got
nowhere. We gradually just got used to the heat I suppose and began
thinking that we still have abundant water, we have a beautiful
setting here and we live comfortably. Why worry?"
"So you're not the least bit curious why this is all
happening?" Doggett leant forward, elbows on knees.
"Don't get me wrong Agent Doggett after all I am a
detective, I like to solve cases. This one's just too big and
not that important in our eyes any more. Go ahead, be our guests, go
out and poke around. I assure you there won't be anything out
there now that we haven't already found and analysed."
Doggett sat back in his chair again and Reyes recognised that look as
steely determination. Meyers' words had sparked resolve in
Doggett. He was going to find the answers here to wipe that smug look
off this man's face.
"So Ray," Reyes spoke. "What can you give us to go
on?" The detective got out of his chair and headed for his
filing cabinet and pulled out a thick folder then slapped it on the
desk in front of them.
"Here's everything we have on this case. Take it with you;
peruse it at your leisure. All I ask is that you keep me informed of
where you plan to go and get back to me with updates."
Doggett had had enough of this man. He picked up the folder and made
his way out the door.
"Come on Agent Reyes, we have work to do." The detective
followed them to the front door then with his hand gently on
Reyes' back his ushered her our out.
This hadn't gone unnoticed by her partner.
.................
Chapter Six
Doggett's and Reyes' cabin, 9pm
"Monica, I'm getting more and more suspicious by the
moment. Why do you think Detective Meyers wants to keep tabs on where
we're going?" They'd had a dinner made from
ingredients they'd found in the kitchen and now were into case
mode before bed. Doggett had spread out the contents of the
‘heatwave' folder on the coffee table and was looking at a
green form.
By now Reyes had changed into a skimpy top and shorts. Even wearing
her bra made it too hot so that had been discarded. She was reading
one of the reports while her bare feet also rested on the coffee
table. Doggett had seen her come out of her bedroom dressed that way,
with obviously no bra and knew if she continued to tease him like this
it was going to be very difficult to keep his promise to Skinner. He
was going to make a comment about covering up more around him but it
was hot and Reyes did look more comfortable. He would just have to try
and divert his eyes and imagination and think of the case. There was
more than enough to occupy him in the reports lying in front of him.
"Maybe there's something he might not want us to
see?"
"Hmm, that's what I thought too. Did you notice in these
reports about the weather stats?" Doggett looked up from what he
was reading and tried hard to just look at Reyes' face.
"Yes," she spoke slowly, eyes still on the form.
"Seems like the weather stays in the nineties and never
deviates; same with the humidity."
"It says here," he waved the green paper. "That the
lowest recorded temperature for the last year has been ninety and the
highest ninety-nine. I would call this some sort of clue but
don't know what to make of it yet. Monica, tomorrow we're
going to have to do some interviews with town members and also a bit
of snooping."
Reyes noticed thin beads of sweat forming on Doggett's forehead
and knew he was overheated but probably resisting stripping off in
front of her.
"John, you're hot. Don't mind me; just go and put on
something cooler. It'll help you concentrate more." When
he wasn't moving she got up, took his hand and lead him to his
bedroom. "Now go and find something cool to wear; you
haven't changed since we got here."
Moments later he was out just wearing some shorts. Reyes had never
seen him in so little clothing before and liked what she saw very
much. That toned body of his had been hidden under work suits all this
time. He went via the kitchen and brought back with him some more
lemonade for each of them then sat and flicked through a few more
pieces of paper. She found herself staring over every part of him and
then focused on his long arms and large hands and imagined them around
her once more but this time in a loving embrace. They had hugged a
number of times now while comforting each other but Reyes wanted it to
be more.
"Happy now Mon?" She probably didn't need to answer;
her face said it all. "Mon?"
"Ah John, I think you'd better go and put some clothes
back on if we're going to get any work done here." He
chuckled to himself, smiled and shook his head.
"You're a fine one to talk, dressing like that in front of
me. It's amazing I can keep the paper still enough to read
it."
"Oh, dressed like what? I'm only trying to keep
cool." Reyes wanted him to tell her exactly how he felt.
"So the scanty top with no bra isn't for my benefit?
Monica, you're just making it too hard for me here."
"Well what should we do about this John? If we put clothes back
on it'll just make us hotter. Taking them off distracts us from
the paperwork." Reyes got up out of her seat and walked around
and placed herself next to Doggett.
"John, we both know that the kiss this morning was special. We
both felt something; I know I want more. No matter what I promised
Skinner I can't keep it. I want you John."
Doggett's expression showed a little confusion. He wanted this
too but there were too many conflicting emotions running around inside
him. This was his work partner. How could she possibly be his lover
too? Looking into her wanting brown eyes, seeing her lips plead to be
kissed once more, he moved forward.
This kiss was long and slow, in contrast to the hasty, fiery one in
their office that morning. Reyes felt those arms of his slowly envelop
her as their mouths moved in synchrony. Her hands making their way
over his bare back caused her mouth to open more and Doggett responded
to this by laughing a little then running his tongue along her lips
and plunging it in her mouth as the kissing became more forceful.
Their bodies were dangerously hot now with so much skin and body
contact but they didn't care. They both wanted this no matter
the repercussions later.
After minutes of sensual, close contact Reyes rested her head in the
crook of Doggett's neck while they both caught their breath.
Doggett still felt her lips on his even when they'd been parted.
"So John, what say we give this paperwork a miss for now and
continue our new case in one of our bedrooms?" Doggett was just
about to respond when there was a heavy knock at the door.
...............................
They must have looked rather dishevelled as they answered the door
because the look on Detective Meyer's face seemed to convey
confusion. Doggett had very quickly found a T-shirt to cover his bare
chest.
"Did I disturb something here?" Reyes was the one to
respond.
"No! We were reading through the reports and just didn't
expect anyone to be visiting us." He didn't seemed
convinced, after all he was a trained detective; he probably knew
exactly what had been going on.
"Thought I'd just pop in and see if you've read the
reports yet and have any questions about the case."
"Just a few." Doggett showed a little sarcasm. He still
didn't trust this man. There was something about his smarminess
that suggested he was hiding something.
"Can I come in?" Doggett moved aside all the while staring
at him. As the detective passed Reyes he leant in and whispered,
"Nice outfit."
Reyes just smiled. She'd met people like this before and knew it
was usually better just to play along rather than make a big deal out
of it.
Doggett wasn't so tolerant.
"Do you come onto all the FBI agents like that Meyers?"
"Only ones as hot as your partner. You I could pass." He
laughed and headed over to the table.
"I can see you've actually been doing some work
here." He picked up one file then dropped it again. Doggett
seethed under his quiet exterior.
Reyes decided to diffuse the situation.
"Ray, would you like a cool drink, an iced tea, a beer?"
"A beer would hit the spot Agent Reyes."
"Okay, I'll be right back."
Meyers waited until she was out of earshot before he spoke.
"Doesn't the Bureau have rules against that Agent
Doggett?"
"Against what Detective Meyers?" He spoke with jaw
clenched.
"Romantic affairs with partners."
"What makes you think there's a thing between my partner
and myself?"
"Come on." He leaned towards Doggett. "How could you
not touch her, she's one sexy woman?" His demeanour then
turned unexpectedly cool. "Maybe headquarters needs to hear
about this."
"And you would do that?"
"Agent Doggett, I got the feeling in my office earlier that you
may decide to keep some findings from me. I'm not used to being
kept out of the loop."
Just then Reyes came back and distributed beers to the men. Without
breaking his stare he spoke to Reyes,
"Monica, it looks as though Detective Meyers here is threatening
to tell lies about us to the FBI." Meyers suddenly went back to
all sweetness.
"Thankyou Monica for the beer."
"She's Agent Reyes to you." Doggett felt a sudden
urge to literally knock some manners into this man but it would not
help the fact that there was an obstacle here between them that he was
damned sure he was going to hurdle.
The detective just lifted his eyebrows and went to sit down.
"Not so fast Meyers, it's late now. How about we contact
you in the morning when we've finished up with all this?"
Doggett indicated with his head towards all the paperwork they still
needed to sift through.
"All right, let's make a firm time."
Doggett walked to the front door and opened it indicating for the
detective to leave.
"If we must we'll meet you at ten."
Meyers walked past Reyes and she was sure she felt a light touch on
her butt. Deep down she was a little flattered by this attention but
she could see that Doggett was peeved.
As Meyers left he looked from one of the agents to the other and said
in a low voice,
"Sweet dreams." His face erupted in a sassy grin as he
headed towards his car. He turned to his car and as he opened the door
he looked back at them. "Oh and by the way, just remember I have
eyes and ears everywhere."
.............................
Doggett waited until the sound of the car engine was well away before
he spoke.
"Monica we're really going to have to watch ourselves
here. I don't want any trouble with this Detective
Meyers."
"You don't think he's being serious do you
John?"
"I think he's trying to keep us on our toes, for the life
of me I don't know why. We have to keep our minds on this case
and not on any feelings for each other."
Reyes was obviously disappointed but understood that Meyers could
cause trouble for them even if what he said wasn't entirely
true. If any word got back to A.D.Skinner about their unprofessional
behaviour they could be taken off this case and left in disgrace.
"Come on Monica, we've got at least a couple of hours
reading before we can go to bed."
Sharing a bed that night had been on their minds but was now out of
the question.
Reyes' thoughts were not on the case as she lamely read through
the words. The heat was oppressive and the thought of an opportunity
lost with this man before her played on her mind. It was probably just
as well the detective came when he did and not a little later when
maybe they would be in bed together making love. The thought of
Doggett in bed with her made her mind wander further. Thoughts turned
lustful as she imagined his naked body against hers, those arms
entwined around her and his legs linked with hers. Just the way he
hugged her she just knew he would be good in the bedroom too. How
could his ex-wife leave this man? She knew she would never want to be
without him by her side. Her eyes became glazed as she blankly stared
into space.
"Monica, your mind's not on this. What are you thinking
about?" Reyes didn't particularly want to tell him that
she'd been distracted from the case by thoughts of him making
love to her.
"I'm not really up to this right now, I'm tired and
it's far too hot. I think I need to wash up a bit."
"I'll just finish up here and then I'm going to
bed." Reyes wondered whether Doggett had been thinking of her
too. She'd seen him glance at her a little too often. They had
kissed twice now and the second one even topped the first. She would
go to bed alone with these thoughts and all the possibilities of where
their relationship could head when this case was over.
She got up and went to the bathroom and turned the cold faucet first.
Running her finger through the water she waited for it to turn cool.
It only took about ten seconds before she realized that she was only
going to feel warmth.
"Where are you going?" Doggett called from the couch.
"To get some ice. This climate has heated the water pipes so if
we want cold water while we're here we're going to have to
make it ourselves."
"That's something I hadn't thought of."
Doggett was thinking. "I'll be back soon Mon. I'm
going to see if Karen's still up. Maybe I can get extra ice from
her."
By the time Doggett came back Reyes was in bed half asleep. She
vaguely heard what she thought was the bath being filled with ice. If
she couldn't have him in her bed right then she would imagine
it. As she clutched the pillow beside her she dreamed about him lying
next to her and what it would be like if he came to her in the middle
of the night having changed his mind.
In the other bedroom as Doggett prepared for bed. He was also thinking
about Reyes and was even more determined to wrap up this case to see
if they could make a romantic relationship work. He stripped right
down and hopped under the covers. This was going to be one long night.
The oppressive heat and humidity was going to make it very
uncomfortable. Another contributing factor was the knowledge that he
was alone in bed once again when a beautiful, sexy woman was right
next door; one who also wanted him. His eyes closed imagining what it
would be like if she was in his arms all through the night.
.....................
Chapter Seven
Doggett's and Reyes' Cabin 3 am
"What's wrong Monica?" Doggett had to say this a
number of times before he got a response. He moved quietly over to her
bed through the darkened room. The night was muggy, hot and
uncomfortable and he'd had to sleep in just his boxers to feel
any inkling of comfort that he could grab onto to get at least a
little sleep.
Reyes was still groaning in what appeared like fitful sleep. She
looked so beautiful bathed in the moonlight that was streaming through
the window. The silvery fingers of light reflected off the faint gleam
of sweat over her chest, face and neck. Doggett wondered what she was
wearing to bed. She was definitely wearing something because he could
see the thin straps over her shoulders.
"Oh John,," she murmured only half awake. "Is that
you?"
Her hair was slicked back off her face and her expression appeared a
little pained as her eyes opened only part way.
"Monica, it sounded as though there was something wrong. You
were groaning." He sat on the bed beside her; a little forward
on his part but the heat had lack of sleep had drained the energy out
of his legs. "Wait, I'll get you a cool drink." He
came back moments later with a glass of the cool water from the
bathroom sink.
"Oh thankyou," she said as she sat up slowly and took the
glass. As she did her bed sheet fell to her lap and Doggett caught a
glimpse of her small burgundy camisole outlining very precisely her
exquisitely shaped breasts. He had the immediate urge just to reach
out and feel them through the silky fabric, to make her nipples harden
at his touch but drew back. Her defined shoulder blades were beckoning
to also be fondled and as those lips touched the edge of the glass he
once again remembered those lips on him back in their office in DC and
just hours before in the living room.
"So what's wrong Monica?" he had to stop these
thoughts. He took the empty glass from her hand and placed it on the
bedside table.
"I just can't sleep in this heat John. I've been
having small dozes but then I've woken up with beads of sweat
running down me. What about you John?"
"Same."
"Don't worry about me, just try and get some sleep. Thanks
for the water." She slumped down in bed again and as she did
Doggett saw a glimpse of bare midriff and the rim of matching burgundy
fitted boxers. Her camisole clung to her sweaty body
He thought for a moment and got up determinedly.
"What is it?" A moment later he came back with something
in his hand.
"I'm going to try and cool you down so you can get some
sleep okay?"
"All right," she said a little quizzically. In the silvery
light it looked like he had a washcloth.
...................
"This might be a little cold to start with." Monica felt
the coolness on her arm and knew that Doggett had drenched the
washcloth in the cool water left over from the melted ice in the sink.
With a long, slow movement he trailed the cloth down one arm from her
shoulder, over her elbow to her wrists and hand. He then repeated the
same action just as deliberately, feeling every contour on the way.
Then he went to her other arm and did the same, making sure he covered
every nook and cranny.
"Like that?" It took a short while before Reyes could
answer. The feel of him touching her this way was becoming too much.
"Hmm," is all she could say.
"Wait a moment and I'll get a bowl of cold water. The
cloth's getting warm already." He was back in no time and
dipped the cloth into the icy water. "Now your face."
Doggett leant over her and she closed her eyes feeling firstly his hip
pushing in next to her then the cool material on her face. He brushed
over her forehead first then her cheeks then he made a line over her
lips. Some gurgles came from her throat as the cloth was drawn over
her neck, which wasn't just flushed from the room temperature.
"Like that? Is it working?" She still couldn't talk.
Reyes wondered if Doggett knew how he was making her feel. What he did
next made her situation even more urgent. She felt the bed covers move
down her body and his fingers trail ever so lightly over her abdomen
which made her jump.
"I'll stop if you want me to Monica."
"No!" she managed to bleat. With that encouragement the
bed sheet was pulled right off her and she felt the coolness on her
feet and ankles first. Doggett every now and then replenished the cold
water as he made a slow journey up her legs. She was quite cool now
but didn't want him to stop this attention to her body.
When he finally got to her thighs he lifted her knees so he could move
the cloth all the way around. Reyes found her knees moving apart a
little as the cloth traced over her inner thighs.
She wondered what Doggett was thinking. Was he doing this as a friend
helping another friend or was there more to this? When the washcloth
was on her stomach she flinched at the suddenness.
"I want to do this for you Monica, I'll go back to bed
when you tell me." Again the words were just not capable of
escape. The coolness trailed over her bare abdomen then she could feel
fingers lift her camisole and the cloth go underneath to her breasts.
Doggett must have surely known then that she was very aroused. Her
hips were moving, she was breathing heavily and bubbling sounds were
coming from her throat. His fingers made their feathery way over her
chest and she knew he wanted her camisole off. Her arms lifted
automatically until she was bare breasted in front of him. She could
feel his strong hands through the cloth as he made slow movements over
her.
"Sit up, I'll cool down your back." She complied
although with difficulty because of her heightened state of arousal.
After rinsing the cloth and squeezing he straddled her and reached to
her back with arms wrapped around her.
There were a number of things he did now that almost made her just
want to give in and make love to him there and then. Apart from the
cool of the material on her back she felt his hot breath very close to
her cheek. She wanted to reach around and kiss him but also
didn't want what he was doing to stop. What she also felt was
what she'd felt between them when they'd been kissing on
the floor in their office when he had rolled on top of her. This also
aroused him and she knew now that all his actions would have to lead
to the inevitable.
"Oh John, don't stop.... Ahhhhh" She was moving
her hips under him now and could feel him get even harder. Trailing
once again around to her front he made icy circles around her breasts,
then his hands found their way over her shoulders and down her sides
to stop just short of the rim of her silky boxers. He moved them rim
down over her hips until it lay just above her hairline. This was all
too much.
"I want you John, now." She couldn't hold it in any
longer. Her hands went to the rim of his boxers to rip them off but he
grabbed her wrists and put them to her sides. Without any words he got
off her and the bed and walked out of the room.
..............................
Doggett couldn't believe what he'd just done. He leaned
over the bathroom sink with hands on the rim supporting his weight
just trying to see how it had got to this point. The throbbing between
his legs was almost unbearable but he had to think thoughts to make it
go away. Skinner had expressly said that they were not to play around
with each other and he had promised him. He couldn't break a
promise. He couldn't jeopardize his career over an action he did
because of his hormones. It could all be seriously regretted later
when the deed had already been done. He punished himself for getting
his partner to the point where she wanted sex.
"John?" Reyes appeared at the door now with her camisole
back on, her pants pulled up and spoke with a shaky voice. He just
shook his head for a moment while his partner and almost lover came
over to him. "Tell me what's wrong? Don't you want
me?"
He kept shaking his head for a few more moments while Reyes was
thinking all sorts of possible reasons for this change in behaviour.
"We promised Skinner, Monica. I assure you I didn't start
out to seduce you. I just wanted to help you and it got out of
hand."
"I know we promised Skinner but I'm finding this all too
much, this weather and you."
"Me? You're finding me too much?" He looked at me
with a worried expression still with his hands over the sink.
"Every time you touch me or even look at me I keep remembering
that kiss and now..."
"Now you'll think of what I've just done to
you." He looked down and shook his head again. She placed a
gentle hand on his arm.
"Yes, I will not forget it, and now I want more. You can't
leave me like this John. You made me hot for you and I want to make
love to you no matter what Skinner says." He kept shaking his
head. "We both want this. Tell me now if you don't want me
and I'll go back to bed and try to sleep." The wait was
excruciating for Reyes.
"Yes, I do want you," he said too quietly for Reyes to
hear.
"What was that? Do you want me or not?" Doggett had real
difficulty saying it the first time without having to repeat it so was
silent.
"I'm going back to bed now John. I expect you to come and
*show* what you want before I go back to sleep. I want your body next
to mine very soon.
...................
Chapter Eight
Reyes' and Doggett's cabin 3.30 am
What was Doggett doing? Reyes knew he wanted to make love and sleep
with her. Surely he wasn't intimidated by Detective
Meyers' words that he had eyes and ears everywhere. It
wasn't his nature to be threatened like this so it must have
been something else. This was in the middle of the fucking night. As
if anyone would see them in the same bed together. The resort was at
best at a quarter residential capacity and they hadn't seen any
activity in the cabins adjacent to theirs.
Enough was enough. Reyes was adamant now that she would find out the
problem and talk some sense into him. If it was only his promise to
Skinner then she may be able to talk him over that hurdle. This night
was the night they would sleep together; it was the perfect
opportunity. They were away from home, alone and out of immediate
scrutiny. If she didn't do this now there may not be another
chance as ideal.
She got out of bed and made her way to Doggett's bedroom. He was
not there. That didn't faze her, instead of looking for him
she'd wait for him in his bed. Minutes later she saw him enter
the room and make his way to the bed.
"Monica, I was looking for you." So he wasn't just
going to leave her to pine away for him. She'd had images of
being alone in bed in the morning.
"Get in here now John. You're not getting away with
bringing me to the brink of sexual arousal and then taking it
away."
"I told you I didn't mean for that to happen."
"Well it did and you just have to follow through. I know you
were just as stirred up as I was." She held out her hand for him
to get under the sheet beside her. He hesitated a little but conceded.
"What's bothering you John?" He rolled onto his side
to face her and looked at her with a slightly worried expression.
"I don't want to do anything here that either of us is
going to regret later," he said in his quiet low husky voice.
She ran the back of her fingers over his cheek and smiled. She'd
seen that forlorn expression before and it always made her want to
protect and mother him.
"I would never regret anything we do together. I want us to be
closer. Now come here and hug me." She held her arms out and
this time she felt his wonderful hands directly on her rather than
through the washcloth.
Here they were finally in bed together. After all the years in close
contact, the pain, the angst, the longing and then the comforting
embraces they were about to physically cement their feelings of love
for each other.
They both wanted to be there in the bed together and each knew they
wanted the other to be completely satisfied with the experience.
Doggett was the first to lay a kiss on her lips. His fingers made
their way slowly over her back of her shoulders and pulled her in so
their bodies touched exquisitely. They both knew this first time was
going to be slow and exploratory.
The kisses were just getting better each time. Their mouths were only
slightly apart at first but as their hands moved down each
other's backs their lips opened and they intensified the kiss.
Each knew that before this attention was complete they would have
mapped out each other's bodies with roaming hands. The quiet of
the night surrounded them. All that could be heard was their breathing
and contented sighs.
Doggett's hands traced down Reyes spine and lightly feathered
her ass then with firm but gentle fingers she felt his fingers on her
inner thigh as he lifted her leg to rest over his hip. This caused her
to lay a little on top. Then it was her turn to feel down his bare
back. This was the body she had ogled at before and now he was letting
her touch him. Her leg linked with his moving up and down feeling its
contours with her foot. He rolled her over still kissing so now he was
almost on top.
Doggett drew back for a moment just peering into her eyes and when he
saw love and longing looking back at him he knew he could proceed.
Reyes just knew they were progressing to the next stage.
.............
His hand went to her camisole and he pulled the rim as Reyes sat up a
little. This helped him to pull it over her head. Then with one hand
he traced the outline of her breasts. Reyes arched back letting him
take control.
"That's so good John," she whispered. She could feel
the sweat from the inexhaustible heat dripping down her cleavage. This
kind of heat she didn't mind. He went into kiss again and knew
that he wanted to feel his chest on hers. He clung to her other leg
and rolled her over so she was on top. At first all her weight was on
his but then for better control she placed her hands beside him.
"Monica, are you ready?" He began to tug at her boxers.
What such a sweet question to ask. Of course she was ready. She let
him take them down over her hips and she helped him the rest of the
way. Doggett was watching on as she slipped the last remnant over her
right foot and onto the floor.
"You're so beautiful." At these words Reyes felt an
inner glow; they were so heartfelt. As he admired her body his hands
went to her ass and he drew her closer for more kisses. He was very
hard between them now and they each knew it wouldn't be long
before they were linked in body as well as soul.
"I want you now John." Reyes felt every pour of her body
tingling with desire. Doggett's limbs were throbbing with want.
Reyes sat up and began pulling Doggett's boxers down. He lifted
his ass to aid her. As the material caught on his arousal he gasped.
Once she'd made sure her hands had covered the length from the
tops to the bottoms of his legs her hand went to his erection. Firm
fingers wrapped around it.
"Oh god John, I love you so much." She was dying for this
thick, long shaft to be inside her. He took control again at this
stage and rolled her over onto her back. Their bodies were sweaty and
the sheets clung to them as they did so. Doggett pulled off the sheet
and dropped it to the floor so they were totally bare on the bed. He
then urged her to spread her legs with which she complied with a few
more groans. This was finally going to happen; something they'd
both wanted for a while now. His cock was resting on her opening ready
to penetrate.
"Are you still sure Mon." How could he ask that when
everything about Reyes said she was crying for it?
"John, I love you, just make love to me." Her hands went
to his butt to direct him. He went in a little at first just feeling
the internal heat of his lover there below him. He moved in very
slowly groaning with each inch, until he felt he could go no further.
Reyes felt up and down his legs between her and her hands ran over his
back. She just wanted a reminder that this was really him on top of
her and in her. She almost held her breath below him as she felt this
exquisite manhood slip measuredly inside her. He moved out just as
slowly. Every move was like they'd captured a little bit of
heaven. They both wanted this first time to last. Every movement in
and out became a little quicker each time. This was just right for
both of them.
Doggett was in awe of this squirming body below him. She was alive and
glistening in the moonlight, which shone through the nearby window.
Her vocal sounds just made him hotter for her. He leant down to give
her more kisses until he just had to break them to concentrate on the
exquisite feel of being inside her at last. Reyes was becoming more
vocal and her hips were meeting his with more force.
As if reading each other's signals the movements built up
gradually until they were almost frenzied. The sweat was dripping off
their bodies then as they were nearing the ultimate in sexual union.
Reyes felt hers first just as a slow tingle in the pit of her stomach.
It was a very slow start so she knew this was going to be strong.
Doggett must have sensed her changed body language and was also
showing signs of an imminent orgasm. The feel of Doggett pumping
brought her to the heights of giddiness.
"Oh Monica, I love you." He was slowing down then and she
felt a drop of his sweat drip down her cheek. They were both soaked
with sweat from the heat of the room and the searing sex. It was ages
before they had calmed down enough to become aware of the room around
them again. It was only then that Doggett slipped out of her and lay
beside her.
"That was wonderful Mon." Reyes felt a trickle down
between her legs and smiled knowing it wasn't sweat. This memory
she also clung onto. This had been their first sexual encounter and it
had been unforgettable. Her fingers lightly felt down his arm as she
spoke.
"Yes, we can make it even get better and better." His face
lit up with the thought that now that they had made love once there
would be many other opportunities. There would be no thoughts of
regret tonight.
Doggett reached out for Reyes hand and squeezed it and closed his
eyes. Before they each knew it they were sleeping despite the muggy
heat that had kept them awake before.
..................
Chapter Nine
Doggett's and Reyes' cabin --; early morning
Reyes woke in the morning to an empty space beside her. Where had
Doggett gone? She remembered back to the middle of the night and was
proud of herself for making the move she did. They had finally made
love and it had been better than her hottest dreams. Her eyes closed
imagining his body in close contact, the heat, the desire, the sweat
and her eventual release. Her heart made a few flutters as she once
again felt him inside her. It must have been about fifteen minutes she
lay like that and Doggett was still not back and she heard no other
sounds.
The space in the bed was too empty. The temperature in the room was
too hot. How could anyone cope with heat like this? She looked across
to the barometer on the wall. It was now 98.3. It was only six in the
morning and all ready too hot. Her body wanted to get cool. As she got
out of bed her mind fixated on cool water and decided what she'd
do. After finding the cabin empty with no Doggett she went to have a
shower and then got dressed in shorts and a v-necked T-shirt.
Grabbing a dry towel from the bathroom she headed out the door towards
the lake. Why had they decided not to bring swimsuits? Obviously their
minds had not realised just how hot this place would be. At the
water's edge she paddled in the coolish water with bare feet
then looked around her. Seeing no one she took off her T-shirt and
shorts and left them on her towel on a nearby seat.
Just in her bra and pants she waded a little way into the water then
dived in. The cool water surrounding her was welcome respite. She swam
out a little way then trod water as she looked all around her. The
setting was wonderful. Even though the heat was still there it
momentarily was forgotten as she took in the beauty of the bluish snow
capped mountains in the distance and the dark green forest surrounding
the lake. The reflections in the water were pristine. An inner
calmness took over Reyes' body as she floated on her back
looking up at the clear blue sky. Just waving her arms in the water
every so often she didn't notice something behind her until she
bumped into it.
Quickly turning she'd bumped into a pontoon part way into the
lake. She looked back and estimated she had drifted about one hundred
yards from shore. Climbing up gave her a wonderful view of the way she
had come.
She could hardly make out the cabins and the large mansion through the
trees. She could just imagine herself as the only one here on this
planet. Just then she saw a figure in the distance and knew who it
must be. Diving in she began her swim back to shore. As she got to the
edge she looked up to see Doggett with a big grin on his face holding
up her towel and clothes. For a moment she wondered what he was going
to do and then he began to walk away.
"John, come back here you rat!" He just shook his head and
kept walking. So she was expected to walk back to the cabin in her
underwear? "John!" She made one last plea before he turned
around grinning widely and began his walk back. What was he thinking?
He put her clothes on the seat and then began to take off his clothes.
When down to his boxers he made his way to the water's edge and
then dived in. After a few swift strokes he stopped and turned waiting
for Reyes to catch up.
"Come on girl, swim with me." He still had that devilish
grin as she swam up to him. He wrapped his arms around her and gave
her a glorious morning kiss.
"How do you do that?" Reyes was almost drowning with her
knees going weak.
"Do what?"
"Kiss me like that?"
He just laughed and then swam off and Reyes followed him. He let her
catch up a little way ahead and they swam once again to the pontoon.
"So where were you John? I missed you in bed this
morning." They were both lying on their backs side by side
looking up at the sky.
"Just looking around. You looked so peaceful sleeping I
didn't want to disturb you."
"You didn't leave me a note?" He got up on an elbow
and lifted his eyebrows.
"Gotta keep a little mystery. Sometimes I think you read me like
a book."
She laughed because that's often how she felt.
"So where were you?"
"Just taking a look around. Did you know they have an indoor
swimming pool?"
"No, I haven't read the whole brochure yet. I suppose they
don't need to spend too much money on pool heating here."
Reyes laughed.
"Well there's something fishy about that. The pool room is
actually cool and as far as I can tell it's the only cool area
in the whole resort."
Reyes interest was definitely peaked.
"That's funny, must be some sort of clue I suppose."
"Another thing, there were duel entrances into the swimming
pool. I couldn't open the second door unless the first was
closed."
"So it's as though they are trying to keep the cool air
in."
"Or the hot air out." They both made mental notes.
Doggett looked into Reyes eyes once more and a gentle smile appeared
in his serene face.
"You're very beautiful Monica. Last night I will never
forget."
"There's plenty more where that came from." Almost
before she had the chance to reply he was kissing her again. His hand
ran to her back and pulled her to him. Reyes responded and opened her
mouth to let him in again.
As they kissed passionately and then made love again neither of them
saw the lone figure watching them from far away on the shore. They
certainly didn't see this figure answer the cell phone ringing
in Doggett's pants.
............
Chapter Ten
Doggett's and Reyes' cabin 8 am
They were now dressed again after their early morning swim and decided
to have some breakfast then spend about an hour going through the
reports they'd neglected last night because of the heat and the
lascivious thoughts they both had for each other.
It was still a couple of hours before their appointment with Meyers so
they thought this would be a good time for some investigative work.
Heading off in the car they decided to retrace yesterday's steps
back to the town sign they had passed on the way in and to plot the
mileage. Remembering back to the sudden gush of hot air as they got to
this sign they both wanted to know the exact extent of this heatwave.
"This works out to be six miles from the town centre."
Reyes looked up from her map then looked across to her partner.
"You're wondering the same thing as I am?"
"Where this heatwave extends to?" She reached for the
glove compartment and retrieved the pen to mark the spot on her map.
"I just want to see if the theory I have is true."
"Theory John? What theory's that?"
"That it may be centred around the town with a radius of those
six miles you calculated."
"How do you figure that?
"Well the whole thing seems so unnatural. It almost seems
technological in nature rather than just a random event"
"So you haven't discounted extraterrestrials and maybe a
satellite going haywire?"
"Monica, we can't discount anything yet but what
you're saying is a little too much bullshit for me." He
turned the car around and then they headed to the other side of town
once again testing Doggett's theory.
"That's six miles again John. Want to try east now?"
She marked this also on her map as Doggett once again turned the car
around. They hadn't yet noticed the car that had been following
them.
Their drive east took them past a school. Reyes estimated about twenty
children happily playing in the yard.
"John, even the children here seem to not mind the heat."
He glanced over to see a couple of children looking as though they
were playing the old fashioned game of chasey.
"That is odd Monica. They don't even look lethargic.
What's with that?"
"They're being sun smart though, at least they're
wearing hats for sun protection." As she felt the cool air of
the air conditioning on her face she began wondering whether vehicles
in this town used climate control.
As they approached the six mile mark they both braced themselves
before opening the window to test the outside temperature. Their
thoughts were confirmed as they exited the city limits and entered
cool air once more.
"Do we even bother trying the other direction?" Reyes
marked this new section while she spoke.
"Yes, at the moment we think it may be circular but we have to
test the other direction to make sure."
This time they passed a few houses and then the trees seemed to end
and all they could see were open fields. At the four mile mark they
saw something up ahead that broke the monotony.
‘What's that?" Reyes was the first to see it.
"Looks like a fenced off section." As they came closer
they could see a number of warning signs.
Each of them was not looking forward to the heat again after the cool
atmosphere inside the cabin but this was something they needed to do.
Pulling up near a gate in the tall wire fence they got out. As Doggett
went to the gate Reyes walked a little way along the perimeter peering
inside.
"Can't see anything here John. Looks like it's a
fairly big area being fenced off."
Doggett was rattling on the gate but it looked as though it would not
budge. From behind them they heard another vehicle approaching. They
both turned to see a silver Ford Crown Victoria pulling up next to
their rental car. Both Doggett and Reyes waited expectantly while the
occupant showed their face.
"Whatcha doing here? This land has restricted access." A
rather large man in a suit walked towards them. Doggett flashed his
FBI badge.
"I'm FBI Special Agent Doggett and this is my partner
Special Agent Reyes and you are?"
"I'm Roger Martin, let's just say I'm a friend
of Detective Meyers."
Doggett produced his familiar frown, the one that showed he needed
some evidence before he trusted this man.
"What do you have in here Mr. Martin?"
The man walked up to the gate hands in pockets and looked through.
"Let's just say Agent Doggett it's nothing to do
with the FBI."
"What's so important that it has to be kept secret?"
It was Reyes' turn to talk.
"Nothing at all really." His look showed otherwise. He
looked at his watch. "I believe you have fifteen minutes until
your appointment with Meyers. You don't want to keep that man
waiting."
Without his gaze leaving Martin he spoke to Reyes.
"Come on Agent Reyes, maybe we can get answers elsewhere."
They both walked back to their car and backed out onto the road.
"What was that all about?" Reyes spoke.
"It's nothing? Bullshit! Monica I think we're going
to have to work out a way to come back here. I haven't read
anything on the reports about an area with restricted access.
Don't you think that's a little bit suspicious?"
"Maybe it is nothing and that's why we have heard mention
of it."
"That's not what I think. That man's hiding
something. What's going on in this town?" he looked across
to his partner. "I'm not taking any more of this
town's crap. We're going to find out what's
happening here Monica. No amount of intimidation and blackmail is
going to stop me."
Reyes turned to him smiling. This was the John Doggett she had come to
admire and love; the one who determinedly pursued the truth at all
costs.
Chapter Eleven.
Laketon Police Station 9.55am
"What's all this about a restricted access area out of
town?" Doggett forcefully pushed open the door of Detective
Meyers' office. The detective looked up from his desk. He was
sitting on the edge and an attractive woman was on the seat in front
of him.
"Agent Doggett do you normally barge into someone's office
like that?" Doggett noticed the flushed expression of the woman
and wondered what had been going on just before he'd entered.
"You've been keeping stuff from us Meyers, we need some
explanations." The detective motioned for the woman to leave.
She hurriedly did so hanging her head slightly as she passed the
agent.
"Why don't you take a seat." He looked over to the
door. "Agent Reyes's not with you?"
"She'll be here, she's just taking a call."
Doggett wondered why Meyers suddenly smiled. "What's so
amusing?"
"You think you're going to find anything here that we
haven't found already? You big FBI agents come out here thinking
you're god. You'll go back with nothing I tell you."
Doggett leaned forward and said in a low, determined voice.
"We will find out what's going on here, what you're
obviously trying to hide from us."
Meyers leant back in his seat and smirked.
"So what's the penalty in the FBI for having a sexual
relationship with a partner?" Before Doggett could respond the
detective continued. "I do believe you could be
dismissed." Doggett just gritted his teeth. What could he say?
He couldn't lie to this man but he also couldn't come out
with the truth. "She's a very beautiful lady. I'm
sure she's hot in bed too but what she sees in you I don't
know." Doggett continued to look on seething.
"What my partner and myself do behind closed doors is no concern
of yours."
"My sources tell me that behind closed doors is not the only
place you do it." Once again he didn't let Doggett
respond. "I told you I have eyes and ears everywhere Agent
Doggett"
"You're talking about Martin? Don't you trust us or
is it just that you have something you don't want us to
find."
He once again turned serious.
"I just want to remind you Doggett that I will know your every
move. I already know you were out at the quarry."
"The quarry, so that's what it is? You don't mind if
we look around a bit?"
"There's nothing there that's connected to this
heatwave, I assure you."
"Then you won't mind if we take a look."
"Don't go there Agent Doggett!" He was a little too
forceful with this comment which only lay credence to Doggett's
theory that the quarry was indeed important to this case.
A moment later Reyes walked into the office.
"What lies have you been telling about us Meyers?" She was
just as forceful as Doggett had been when he entered. Her partner
looked on inquisitively. Her change in attitude must have been due to
the phone call she'd received as they were entering the police
station.
"Lies Agent Reyes? You two are a little jumpy today. Worried
about something?" Reyes turned to Doggett.
"That was Assistant Director Skinner on the phone saying
he'd received news from here that our first priority here was
for sex rather than the case."
"Sit down Agent Reyes." She looked at her partner as he
spoke and didn't see the astonishment that she'd expected.
"He already knows."
"What!"
Doggett stood and faced Meyers again and spoke with a cool, steady
voice and pointing a finger,
"But that doesn't mean we're not focussed on this
case. We're going to leave no stone unturned. Mark my words, if
there is anything here to tie you to this charade then we're not
the ones who will be dismissed." With that lightly touched
Reyes' elbow and stormed out of the office.
As Reyes rose to leave too she noticed an ever so slight change of
expression in the detective and she knew.
Chapter Twelve
Laketon Resort Indoor Swimming Pool 12 noon
"See what I mean?" Doggett tried to open the second door
of the Laketon Resort's swimming pool room with the first one
open but it wouldn't budge. Reyes closed the first door and then
the second opened easily. They felt the cool air hit them like a
pleasurable sea wave.
"I've seen this device used before. It's obvious
they want to keep the cool air in."
"Why Monica? Why would they go to all this extra expense and
effort for a few lousy rushes of cool air into the atmosphere
outside?"
Reyes took Doggett's hand and they made their way to the change
rooms. On the way they passed a number of tourists who were visibly
enjoying the respite from the heat outside.
"Come on, I have a few ideas. Let's go for that swim we
know we both need to cool down and we can talk." They'd
both stopped by the general store in the township to buy some
swimsuits. There wasn't a big range. Reyes had found a simple
black one piece. She didn't even try it on. Anything she wore
she knew she'd attract Doggett's eye. He on the other hand
decided to buy a pair of Speedos because that's all they had in
their minimal range.
As they met at the poolside they both smiled at each other's
reactions to the way they were dressed.
"Monica, how am I possibly going to be objective about this case
with you dressed like that?"
"It's just an ordinary swimsuit."
He leant in and whispered, "But it's on an incredible
body."
"Why thankyou John. You're not so bad yourself." She
raised her eyebrows, as she noticeably looked him up and down.
"Come on, let's do a few laps then we need to talk."
This was certainly a welcome relief from the heat. They felt a little
guilty having fun while on a case but this was a good way to cool down
and hopefully open their minds to what was going on in the town. After
a few laps they met at one end of the pool.
"So Monica, you said you might know what's happening
here?"
"I don't know what's causing the heatwave,
that's what we still must discover. What I do know is that
Meyers is in on this somehow. I think that in fact the whole township
is involved."
"How do you figure?"
"Just by looking around you John. Everyone's been behaving
as though this is all quite normal. Why is it that no one seems to
wants to change things, they're quite happy the way things
are?"
Doggett nodded, "Because they all know what's going on and
are covering up whatever it is."
"Exactly."
"I have a very strong hunch that we're going to find out
something about their little secret in that quarry out of town."
"John, hold me!" Reyes suddenly clung to Doggett and
planted a kiss on his lips. When she finally let go Doggett
questioned,
"What was that for?" We have to be careful here."
Reyes just whispered in his ear.
"See that man over there by the pot plant?"
Doggett complied and spoke quietly, "Yes, what about him?"
"He's not one of the tourists."
"How so?"
"Notice him shivering? He's trying hard to hide the fact
that he's cold. Now kiss me again John so he doesn't
become suspicious."
Reyes pinned her partner against the pool edge and they kissed again.
Holding each other close they spoke quietly into each other's
ears.
"I think Meyers must have replaced our spy after our encounter
with Martin."
"That's going to make breaking into the quarry a little
difficult." Doggett began kissing and licking Reyes' neck
as though they were still making out. His hand roamed over her back.
Reyes closed her eyes and sighed.
"We're either going to have to out wit them John or go
during the night when it's dark." He licked her earlobe.
Reyes found herself not being able to fully concentrate on what
Doggett was saying but rather on what his mouth and hands were doing.
He then turned her around and pinned her against the side of the pool
and began licking the ridges of her other ear.
"Monica, I think we're going to have to go back to our
cabin to continue our *chat* in bed." This was also turning on
Doggett.
"Don't you remember how hot it is there? Maybe
there's somewhere here we can go for more privacy."
......................
Reyes handed Doggett his towel as he got out of the pool. He tied it
around his middle and they walked down a short passageway and found a
door at the end that was labelled .
"I didn't see any babies here did you Monica?" He
didn't wait for an answer but just opened it and pulled Reyes
inside. Locking the door he lead her over to the couch that was
probably provided for the comfort of nursing mothers.
"So where did our conversation leave off Mon?"
"I think we were talking about somehow getting into the
quarry."
"Oh yes." He sat on the couch and pulled her closer so
that she was lying on top of him and began nuzzling and kissing her
neck.
"We shouldn't be doing this John."
"Why not?" He kissed along one shoulder and brought her
swimsuit strap down in the process.
"Because we're on a case. What will Skinner say to us
about this?"
"What did you tell him on the phone?" His fingers linked
with the other strap and also moved it over her shoulder, licking and
sucking as he went.
"Well first of all he said... ahhhh." Doggett had
pulled the straps right down to her waist and was tracing circles
around one nipple with his tongue. Before proceeding the other breast
he looked up and smiled at his lover's reaction.
"He said ahhhh did he?" He chuckled at the thought then
began sucking the other nipple.
"He said that he's was told we'd been seen having
sex on the pontoon in the middle of the lake." Reyes'
heart was beating very fast now as he moved the swimsuit down her body
further. He rolled her onto her back so she was reclined over the end
of the couch. As he slowly took the swimsuit down he kissed the skin
as he went until he was at her toes and her attire flopped to the
ground.
Between slow kisses up her legs Doggett spoke.
"And how did you respond?" It took a moment for Reyes to
catch her breath especially when he reached her thighs and began
moving her legs apart.
"I put the question back at him?" Her eyes were closed now
as she felt the heat of his tongue and his breath between her legs.
"Which was?" The vibration of his voice on her clit sent
waves of pleasure through her body. Then his tongue was on her,
sweeping along one side of her clit then the other making it very
difficult for her to talk.
"I asked him," Reyes took a few breaths as he plunged his
tongue inside her, moving it in and out. "If he believed....
we would have..... sex in the open.... like that." He
then alternated between fucking her with his tongue and sucking her
clit. "He.... took....the....point."
As she became absorbed in all his attention to her body she then found
it almost impossible to talk.
"I have... an idea....about the.... quarry."
That's all she could get out before her vocal chords gave out.
Doggett could tell that what he'd been doing was very arousing
for her but wanted to be inside her for this orgasm. He gently coaxed
her into a sitting position and then took down his Speedos revealing a
very ready erection. Sitting down on the couch he helped her on top of
him. With knees beside his hips she sat down slowly allowing him to
penetrate her completely. Reyes almost collapsed on him from the
exquisite feel of his solid cock inside her again like this.
They both moved together all the time Doggett nuzzled Reyes'
neck and ran his hands down over the velvety skin of her back. Neither
of them spoke but rather put their energies into this act of love for
each other. Each thrust was a little bit of heaven; each hand movement
on their bodies pure bliss. It had been a long time since Doggett had
had sex this good, with someone he truly loved. The moment was all too
much. He could feel her pulsating on his cock and her breasts heaving
and he had to let go. Wave after wave filled her as their bodies
floated on the choppy sea. The ripples became calmer as they both came
to shore onto solid earth.
Still holding each other tightly Doggett was the first to speak,
"What's that quarry idea you were talking about
Mon?" Doggett smiled slyly.
After a moment's reflection of what had just happened between
them she responded,
"I suppose we'd better get dressed then I'll tell
you on the way."
..............................
Chapter Thirteen
Laketon Resort Indoor Swimming Pool 12.45pm
"Don't look now but see that couple over there, the ones
who look as though they're on their honeymoon?"
"Yes, and?"
"I suggest we ask for their help." Reyes took
Doggett's hand and led him towards them. "Come on John,
play along."
"Excuse me," Reyes said in her sweetest voice to the
couple lying on twin deck chairs. "Hello I'm Monica and
this is John." They looked a little astonished so Reyes
continued. "We were wondering whether you could help us.
We're FBI agents here to investigate this strange weather and
we've run into a little trouble."
"Okay, I'm Graeme and this is my wife Trudi, what do you
want us to do?" Reyes looked them over and realised they would
work perfectly for her plan.
"Come back to our cabin and we'll explain there. Just act
as though you're coming back with us for friendly
conversation."
Trudi and Graeme exchange glances and generally seemed to regard it as
an adventure. They all collected their belongings and left passing by
the evident intruder along the way.
Once inside Reyes explained about their case and that someone had been
sent to spy on them, following their every move. Doggett was listening
on and smiling waiting for this plan of his partner's.
"We're wanting to go an investigate an old quarry just out
of town that the local police say has nothing to do with this but
we're not convinced."
"So where do we come in?" asked Trudi.
"We want you to pretend to be us to throw the spy off
track."
"Good plan Monica, I'm impressed. How should we go about
this?" Doggett stood there eyebrows raised quite keen to hear
her thoughts.
"We swap clothing and then Trudi and Graeme here take our car
and lead the man on a merry chase."
"So how are we meant to get to the quarry with no transport? We
can't walk, it's like a desert out there."
"Take ours," mentioned a matter of fact Trudi. She went to
her bag and produced a set of keys and gave them to Reyes.
"It's outside cabin fourteen, the dark green
Caprice."
"Okay," Monica grinned. "It's a deal then. We
can meet later after we're successful."
They exchanged clothing and then was the time of deception. They had
swapped clothes and all wore sunglasses. Reyes had her hair tied up
like Trudi's.
"Well we're set. I say we go first," mentioned
Doggett. "We'll walk to your cabin. That should distract
the guy long enough for you to leave and get into our car.
There's a good chance that he'll think we are heading off
and follow you two. By the time he realises what's happened
we'll be well into our quarry visit."
All went off perfectly and the agents were once again on their way to
the quarry.
"Has this thing got any climate control Mon? It's a sweat
box in here."
"I'm looking John but I can't find it." Reyes
ran her fingers over the various knobs then just shook her head.
"Looks like our friends got the better deal here. They're
driving around in comfort and we're in a sauna." Reyes
laughed at Doggett's humor. "Here we are Monica and no
one's on our tails this time." He parked the vehicle a
short way from the fence and as they got out they kept an eye on the
road behind them. There were no traffic sounds. The coast was clear.
"Chains." Doggett called to Reyes who was looking for an
alternate way to get in. The fence was just too high to climb.
"What?"
"The gate is locked with chains and a padlock." Doggett
went back to the car and found the tire iron and linked it through the
padlock and with a good amount of force twisted it until it shattered
in pieces. "Bingo." They were no free to search.
There was not much there really. The grassed area around them was bare
of any other vegetation. The ground was rough under their feet
suggesting that large vehicles had passed over it at one time. The
quarry was about a ten minute walk from the gate but had clearly been
abandoned a while back.
"Well John, I can't see anything here that they'd
want to cover up." Reyes finally spoke. "Just grass, dirt
and more dirt."
"I'm not convinced Monica. You saw the look on both
Martin's and Meyers' faces when they talked about this
place. They're hiding something alright and I'm damned if
I'm going to find it." He moved on assuredly.
After about fifteen minutes of seeming fruitless search Doggett heard
Reyes calling from about seventy metres away.
"John, come here!" He ran over and saw Reyes on bended
knees surveying the ground.
"What have you found?"
"Look down here, they're all over the place." Over
about a ten square metre area were numbers of bore holes into the
earth.
"What do you make of this Monica?"
"Looks to me like core samples."
"Core samples."
"Yes, I believe probably a team of geologists were taking
samples from the earth here. They can bore down a long way and bring
up the layers of dirt that has accumulated over time. That way they
can study the evolution of the earth over time."
"So you think that this might have something to do with the
heatwave."
"They may have found something that has been let loose in the
atmosphere; something never seen before."
"So you're saying that this thing that has been let out
into the air deliberately covers a circle of six miles radius and then
stops? That's a bit far fetched Monica even for you."
"It's just a theory; stranger things have been know to
have happened."
"You're telling me," said Doggett under his breath.
Reyes got out her sample bag, retrieved a small vial and collected
some of the dirt.
"Let's send this back to the lab and see what they come up
with." Reyes held the bag and studied it up to the light.
"Well I hope they do find something because I think we're
clutching at straws here. Let's go Mon. If that sample comes up
negative then we'll send in a team to scour this place."
"Either way John, if it turns out there is something here we'll have a
swarm of people all over the place." Something just then dawned on
Reyes.
Their deception had worked but they were both disappointed that there
wasn't more; something more tangible to make leeway into the
case.
Chapter Fourteen
Laketon Resort Reception 2 pm
The heat haze in the distance was almost hypnotizing as they drove
back to the newlyweds' cabin. Why didn't they have air
conditioning in their car? They must have rented it from a place in
the township. They needed respite from the harsh atmosphere and
quickly but first they had to find a way to send their dirt sample
from the quarry back to the FBI for testing.
After entering the resort once again they parked the car outside cabin
fourteen. Finding the newlyweds not in they headed to Reception.
Doggett walked up to the front desk and spoke once again to Karen the
resort's receptionist. Reyes was close behind.
"Do you have a post office around here or courier service
maybe?" He held up a white envelope with something bulging
inside.
"Oh hello Agents, there's one in town." Doggett
nodded but waited almost expecting her to go on. "I'm
going into town in a bit. If you have something to send I can take
care of that for you."
"That's really good of you Karen. We'll take you up
on that offer." Reyes looked over with what her partner knew was
concern on her face
As he spoke he handed the package to Karen who put it under her arm.
"We need it to get to the FBI Headquarters lab in DC as soon as
it can. We'd like it to get there today if possible."
Doggett deliberately watched Karen's body language with one of
his transparent expressions as Reyes still appeared concerned.
It was only as they exited the mansion that Reyes spoke softly,
"Why did you do that John?" She touched his arm as they
made their way back to their cabin. They both made the observation
that Trudi and Graeme were indeed back when they saw their car parked
outside their cabin. "You know we both don't trust her. I
don't believe any of the locals here."
When they were safely back inside Doggett reached into his pocket and
produced a familiar looking vial.
"John, you sneak! So you're trying to catch them
out?"
"Let's just see where this one goes shall we? I
don't think the fake sample will be going anywhere except
straight into Detective Shithead's hands, do you?"
Reyes laughed. She loved the way her partner was a no nonsense guy.
She also loved the way they worked together; their methods and ideas
in tandem yet complimentary.
"Okay John so how do we send the real sample off without
attracting that butt bug out there?"
Doggett produced one of his smiles again that indicated to her he knew
exactly what to do.
"That's where our honeymooners may come in handy
again." He went to retrieve two postal envelopes and began
addressing the outside of one. "They can post this for us in
town hopefully without attracting undue attention."
"But won't the post office attendant become suspicious if
it's addressed to the FBI?"
"Ah," Doggett showed her the envelope and what he'd
written.
"Addressed to Walter Skinner, good one John. Now we just have to
get it them. That leech is bound to follow us." Without another
word he got out of his seat and headed for the kitchen. When he
arrived back he lifted the second envelope and placed a saltshaker
inside.
"I suggest I take our car and lead our spy guy on a merry goose
chase while you convince our new friends to do yet another good deed
for us." Reyes liked that plan.
Trudi and Graeme had left the car keys under the door so Doggett had
them safely in his hand.
Before leaving he took one last look at his partner and saw his newly
acquired lover. Before leaving he was compelled to go to her and wrap
his protective arms around her.
"You be careful now, I never want anything bad to happen to
you." He said this in the most seductive voice she'd heard
so far and kissed her lightly on the lips at first going in for a
second and a third. Then as he hugged her closer the kiss grew more
heated. If it wasn't for the fact that this solving this case
was important for them they'd be back in the bedroom once again
in sexual union.
"Monica, I promise when all this is over," He spoke
breathlessly into her hair. "I'll take you away for the
weekend, just the two of us to somewhere nice and cool." Reyes
suddenly forgot the heat, all she wanted to do was finish this too.
The idea of spending a weekend of sex with this man whenever they
wanted it was suddenly quite energizing. She could see them staying in
bed all weekend only venturing out to visit the bathroom and to eat.
Even eating was optional.
"If you put it that way John, let's do it." He gave
her one last prolonged kiss and then left with a final loving yet
determined look over his shoulder.
..............
Reyes waited about ten minutes after her partner had left before she
ventured out into the heat with the envelope in search of Trudi and
Graeme. This time the honeymooners were back and agreed to help out
again.
Meanwhile Doggett took the spy on a meandering circuit of the
countryside. The agent thought to himself how dumb this person must be
to really believe he had an objective. A couple of times he stopped
the car, got out with the white envelope under his arm then stepped
back inside. This was to remind his follower he still had the sample.
When he arrived back at the cabin Reyes was trying to cool off with a
cold drink and standing under the ceiling fan. Her hair was slicked
back and her neck glistened as a result of the excessive heat.
"So did you convince them?" Doggett also went to get
himself a cool drink.
"You kidding? They felt complimented that they could help the
FBI on a case like this."
"Well we're screwed if they're really two of the
townsfolk." He came back with a can of Coke and stood next to
her under the somewhat cooling fan.
"I know John, I'd thought of that too but I don't
believe it. I can just feel we can trust them. Anyway I've rung
Skinner and told him what to expect. I also outlined everything
we've come across so far. He's as suspicious now as we
are. He said if they find anything in the sample he'd send out
a team as soon as possible to investigate further."
"Did he say anything more about these sexual allegations against
us?"
"No John but I could tell it was on his mind. He just wants us
to solve this case; it's been on the books for too long. We may
have to face music afterwards though."
Doggett turned to Reyes and ran a thumb over her cheek wiping away the
sweat.
"No matter what Monica, I wanna be with you. We've waited
too long to be together just to break it apart because of our
jobs."
"But they may not let us work as partners any more."
He rubbed his coke can over her neck eliciting a pleasant groan.
"I don't care. I didn't particular want the X-Files
in the first place. I was only there to find Mulder when he went
missing. I found him but now I'm still here. Why? Look Monica,
if it means me moving to a different division would that be so
bad?" He moved the Coke can down to her breasts remembering the
way yesterday she had tantalised him. He could see her nipples harden
then moved the can down over her breastbone to her stomach.
"Oh John, we can't, not now." Her pulse was racing
and she just knew that her lover was ready for more sex.
"Yes we can." He said very seductively as he took the
drink can from her hand and laid both hers and his on the floor. His
hands slid around her butt and he drew her in closer. Reyes felt a
little proud that Doggett was so easily turned on by her. Hips solidly
joined they swayed together. "Really John, our friends said
they'd meet us at the pool for an afternoon swi.." Before
she could even finish her sentence Doggett had responded with his lips
on hers catching her final words.
This time his kiss was almost trying to persuade her that the two of
them tied in sexual union was more important than keeping a deadline.
As Reyes' legs became weak she found herself falling slowly to
the ground. Doggett followed her every move down to lie on the floor.
She held onto him for support until he lay her head gently down and
moved on top still kissing her. She felt herself give into him with a
sudden thrill rushing through her body. Her legs parted and he rested
his crotch against hers just moving slowly to let her feel him growing
more and more against her. This was so erotic feeling his desire for
her grow physically.
"Still want to be on time for our meeting Mon?" He
didn't wait for an answer but started slowly taking Reyes shorts
then panties down on their slippery path to her bare feet and off. He
once again lay on her running kisses over her neck then back to her
mouth. The closeness of his hard cock right near her entrance but
cooped up in his pants was turning her on more and more.
Doggett kept tantalizing her with his mouth until he received a sign
Reyes had given in, then reached for his shorts button then zip. While
crouched over her, looking into her dreamy eyes, he took his pants and
underwear off without her realizing. Then he was right there at her
entrance teasing her clit with his erection.
"I didn't hear what you said Mon." He was not going
to enter her until she'd made herself clear.
"Just do it." Reyes was desperate. He was so tantalizing
that it almost hurt for him not to be inside her.
"But we'll be late." He mocked. With that she
reached down and began playing with his erection. Her fingers wound
around it and moved up and down the thick shaft. Some fingers lightly
touched his balls at times.
Now who was teasing whom? Doggett wanted to enter her but each time
she moved his cock away until she felt it trembling in her hands.
Without even looking she knew that the veins in his neck would be
exposed due to his heightened arousal.
When she thought he could take no more she guided him into her with
hips slowly thrusting upward. The hard floor under them was forgotten
as their soft, moist flesh once more joined in this ultimate act of
love. Reyes was in another realm as he slowly pumped away building the
momentum up ever so slowly. She could tell he was holding off for her.
His eyes and body said it all. She started becoming faster and more
audible to let him know that she wanted him to make her come. He let
out the breath he'd been holding and moved more rapidly in her.
Her legs went as wide as they could to accommodate all of him.
Doggett felt the fan cooling his neck and legs as he made love to the
beautiful woman below him. Moving down to her face he licked over her
eyebrows and along her cheekbones. The fan above cooled the wetness he
left behind. His mouth hovered over hers as he thrust into her below.
She could taste the saltiness of her sweat on his tongue as he gave
her many fevered kisses.
Her hands slid under his T-shirt and lifted it to expose his sweaty
back to the cooling fan. Her hands then slid down running over his
butt and thighs, committing to memory every sexy curve. A wave of
sheer love for this man overtook her as she came throbbing wildly on
his member inside her. Her heart fluttered and her chest heaved with
the mere intensity. The feeling was heightened by his gush of warmth
she felt inside her.
Doggett gave a few final pushes and then flopped his head smiling into
her dreamy, happy eyes. There was sweat dripping from his face and she
felt the welcome drops on hers. He chuckled a little as he pulled out
slowly and lay beside her on the floor. Reyes felt his seed running
out of her and felt warmth at the thought of him giving a part of
himself to her.
"I think I need a shower before swimming John." Reyes
looked up at the ceiling not wanting to move just yet. Doggett was
equally drained.
"Me too but I suggest we have one there though. The
water's a little too hot here."
It took a while for either of them to move. Doggett was the first, he
rolled over and gave her another wonderful kiss then got up and took
Reyes hands to help her up also.
They each made a bathroom visit and dressed again. They took their
swim suits and a fresh set of clothes with them to change into after
their swim.
"So I wonder if there are any babies who need changing there
now?"
"Is that all you think of? We're here to solve a case
don't forget," Doggett mocked as they opened the door to
the still searing heat.
..................
This time there were only a handful of pool users. Doggett and Reyes
felt the cool air on their sweltering bodies and audibly expressed
relief. Doggett took Reyes' hand as they made their way to the
change rooms. Trudi and Graeme hadn't arrived yet so they both
knew they had time to shower.
All of a sudden Reyes felt a little lightheaded and almost toppled
over. Strangely enough Doggett felt the same way and also noticed his
partner's disorientation.
Before either of them could utter any words their world faded away and
all went black.
............................
Chapter Fifteen
Unknown Place
Reyes woke up to find her self in a bed in what looked like a hospital
room. She peered under the covers to see that she wore a hospital
gown. There was absolutely no recollection of how she'd come to
be in that situation.
John, where was he? Had this happened to him too, whatever
‘this' was?
The room was stifling hot and she felt wet all over from the sweat
that had accumulated since being brought there. They had to solve this
weird case and get the hell out of that town. First she needed to find
her partner.
Getting out of bed was not as easy as first thought as she toppled
right back after a wave of nausea swept over her. Just then a nurse
entered the room.
"Not so fast Ms. Reyes, you need more rest." Checking her
forehead she put the cover back over her.
"What's happened to me and where is my partner?"
"First of all Mr. Doggett is all right. He's still
sleeping in another ward."
"I want to see him."
"All in good time, you've both just had a nasty case of
heat stroke and need your rest. It happens all the time with tourists
here." Reyes was not convinced that she'd had heat stroke
at all. There was something that wasn't right; she just
couldn't quite put her finger on it. Why had they both been
affected at exactly the same time? Reyes couldn't help feeling
it all had something to do with that quarry and the soil sample
they'd collected.
"When can I see John?" Reyes was missing her lover's
closeness already.
"How about I go and see if he's awake and then I'll
bring him to see you." Reyes was happy with that suggestion and
lay back and closed her eyes as the nurse left.
Reyes had nodded off and was woken by her cell phone ringing from
somewhere in the room. Carefully she made her way to the sound having
to hold onto furniture as she went. The closet door slid open and
where she'd expected to see her clothes and possessions was only
her cell phone.
‘That's odd,' she spoke out loud to herself. A later
search of the rest of the room would also reveal that indeed she had
no other belongings.
"Reyes."
"You've been hiding out on me Agent Reyes." The
detective's rough voice was not welcome to the ears at this
time. "Do you know what I have here in my hot little
hand?" It didn't take much imagination for her to picture
a white envelope addressed to the FBI.
"No, what?"
"You don't know what you're doing. This is a big
mistake."
"It is? You tell me why Detective. What are you and the
townsfolk not telling us? It's something in that soil sample
isn't it?"
"You're not welcome in our town any more Agent Reyes.
You've done enough snooping. We want you and Agent Doggett and
the FBI to leave today and not come back." His voice was harsher
than she'd heard before.
"We're not leaving until we have all the facts. You
can't threaten us." Reyes felt her blood simmering.
"You give me no other choice then. If you haven't left our
town by six this evening then I'm just going to have to tell
your superiors what you were doing in Agent Doggett's bed last
night and on the floor of your cabin this afternoon."
Reyes' blood was now boiling but she knew she had to keep a
level head. This breech of privacy was inexcusable. She had to call
his bluff though.
"All right, Agent Doggett and myself are lovers. Go ahead and
accuse all you like but it's not going to stop us finding
answers here."
The phone went dead.
..........................
"All right you two, you can have fifteen minutes then the doctor
needs to check you over." The nurse had wheeled her partner to
her bedside in a wheelchair. When the nurse left Doggett moved shakily
over to Reyes and embraced her.
"What happened to us John?" As he lay next to her on the
bed he spoke,
"Have they left you any clothes?" Doggett looked to check
there was no one around before he spoke.
"No, why is that?"
Doggett then responded in a quiet whisper,
"I got a call from the AD on my cell phone just before the nurse
came to bring me here. It seems that the lab got our soil sample okay
and there is definitely something about it that's very
puzzling."
"Tell me John."
"They're sending out a team as we speak. It's all
very hush hush given that we told Skinner the townsfolk are being
cagey."
"Do we have any more to go on?" Again Doggett looked
around.
"Yes, apparently there is something in that sample that the lab
assistants haven't ever seen before.
The sample is filled with pollen and spores never before seen by any
scientists. Looks like that team of geologists unearthed it all when
digging core samples. The guys in the lab can only surmise that the
team all died. AD Skinner's looking into that part of the case
now."
"They all died John, how does he figure?"
"Well you know what happened to us?"
"I don't know what happened to us." Reyes could tell
that her partner knew more than she.
"Apparently the pollen is deadly if inhaled. Looks like
that's how the geologists died.
"But John we're not dead."
"We must have had pollen and spores on us from digging around in
the quarry. When we came in contact with the cool air at the swimming
pool that's when it started to affect us."
"So John you're saying that the hot atmosphere here is
somehow keeping the pollen and spores dormant so they can't hurt
anyone?"
"Exactly."
"So they destroyed our clothing to get rid of the hazardous
materials in case we took it back with us into the cool air once more.
That still doesn't explain the constant heat and humidity
here."
"That's what Skinner and his team are working on now. This
is man-made Monica. Someone is responsible for generating this heat to
keep the spores and pollen dormant."
"I got a threatening call from Detective Meyers just before you
came in. He wants us out."
"Wouldn't I like to drag that guy's sorry ass to
jail. I just know his hands are dirty on this one Mon. Don't
worry we will find out what's going on."
"So what should we do next?"
"We get out of this place. Skinner's said we have done all
we can this end and he's pleased with what we've done.
He's expecting us back in DC as soon as possible." That
was a welcome thought. They were both eager to get back to some sort
of normality.
Each also knew that they would have to face Skinner explaining the
sexual allegations made about them by Detective Meyers.
Chapter Sixteen
X-Files Basement Office
Both agents chatted happily as they padded out of the elevator and
down the hallway to their basement office.
"The air conditioning doesn't seem to have been fixed
yet." Reyes felt her face go warm as they approached their
office door.
"Well if it's not fixed I'm going to demand us
another office until it is. We can't work under these conditions
Mon." Doggett opened the door and let Reyes through first. They
each went through their ritual of taking off their jackets and hanging
them on the coat rack.
"John," Reyes' voice sounded ominous. Doggett turned
to her then followed her gaze to his desk.
It had been totally cleared of all files, papers, stationery, not a
skerrick was left on top.
The agents' jaws dropped in disbelief.
......................
Doggett sat slumped at his desk just staring at the smooth surface,
his mind going wild with all the possibilities.
"John, look at it this way, it's not all your fault. Why
would your position here be in jeopardy and not mine? I had just as
much involvement in our relationship as you. Do you see my desk
cleared? There's something else here and we need to meet with
the assistant director shortly to find out what." When Doggett
hadn't moved Reyes went up and took his warm hand in both of
hers.
"John, if you're dismissed then I'm leaving too. It
would be so unfair. I want you; I want us. Come on get up
please." Tugging on his hand eventually brought him to his feet
and she wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his chest.
"Monica please don't do that, not just for me. This is the
job you've wanted. If the worst happens, it won't be the
worst because I'll still have you. You will be my reason to go
on." He placed his hands on her shoulders to look into her eyes.
"Monica I love you."
Reyes' smile widened. "I love you too John." They
both kissed and hugged each other as though they would never part.
They both took solace in that they shared mutual affection and would
support each other through thick and thin.
.........................
AD Skinner's Office
"Why sir?" Doggett brow furrowed and he held his hands out
as he entered the room after Reyes. "We helped solve this
case."
"Sit down Agent Doggett," Skinner motioned them to a chair
without answering Doggett's question. "You too Agent
Reyes." Reyes tried to read Skinner's expression. It was
sort of non-descript, neither happy nor angry, just matter-of-fact.
"Is it because of what Detective Meyers said about us because we
can keep that to ourselves sir? It doesn't need to come to the
office it can stay within our four walls at home." Skinner just
sat there almost with a smug look Reyes thought.
"Sir, it was my fault too, why Agent Doggett and not me? We
can't help having feelings for each other but I agree with my
partner here that we can contain them."
Skinner shifted in his chair ready to talk.
"We'll get on to that shortly but first I want to discuss
the case with you."
Doggett expressed a mixture of frustration and resolve. They were
getting rid of a good, hard-working agent who had an excellent case
record. Reyes showed a slight frown as she sat back in her seat
waiting for the assistant director to talk.
"We all must commend you on your excellent work here agents.
Thanks to you two this drawn out case has been solved."
"So sir please fill us in on the details. We know that the soil
and the atmosphere in Laketon holds the plants spores and pollen and
that the heat makes them dormant somehow but where and how is that
heat generated?" Reyes posed the question they were both eager
to ask.
"Glad you asked Agent Reyes. We looked back over any records of
the townsfolk and found one name that stood out. His name is Professor
Paul Kinney."
"Haven't heard of him. What's his involvement in all
this?" Doggett was still curious.
"He used to work at the state's main power plant and
you'll never guess his specialty."
"No what?"
"Geothermal Physics."
"So," Reyes was slowly getting the picture.
"You're saying that somehow this Professor Kinney made
some sort of geothermal device or machine that keeps the area hot
enough to protect the township from inhaling the toxic
substances?"
"Geothermal?' Doggett was lost.
"Yes John, he must have built a machine or machines that
generate heat. Maybe they're underground and that's why we
didn't see anything else suspicious there." She turned to
Skinner. "Am I right sir?"
"That's right Agent Reyes. In fact six devices have been
located in various places around the town spread in such a patter that
it forms a perfect circle of heat with a radius of six miles."
"Okay," It was Doggett's turn to talk. He wanted
justice for this cover-up. "So what happens now? Someone's
gotta pay for this cover-up. There have been deaths here and deep
deception."
"And yes there will be. The town's detective.."
"Detective Meyers." Doggett said almost with a snarl.
"I take it you weren't on good terms?"
"That slimy fuck needs the book thrown at him."
"And it will be. He's in DC for questioning as we speak.
Put it this way, it seems he instigated the whole matter and
threatened the townsfolk if any of them spoke. Many moved away because
of his unwanted intervention or just stayed and got used to the
weather."
"Talking about the weather," Reyes interjected.
"What happens now?"
"The people are quite happy with their circumstances. The local
university is studying the pollen and spores and working on a way for
them to be able to restore their original weather but for now it will
remain hot."
Both Reyes and Doggett seemed at home with all these explanations.
"Now about you too and your relationship." Doggett and
Reyes moved uncomfortably in their seats waiting for what they both
knew they'd have to face eventually.
"You both know that a relationship based on more than friendship
cannot be tolerated here in your situations. You have more than
admitted to me that you are indeed carrying on a sexual relationship
with each other so for that reason I'm putting you both on
suspension for two weeks."
The partners looked at each other wondering if they'd heard
correctly.
"So I haven't been dismissed sir?" Doggett was
almost relieved. Suspension he could handle. Dismissal from the FBI
would be something that would permanently mar his track record and may
make it difficult to secure any other job in law enforcement, the area
he was devoted to.
"What about my desk sir?" Skinner got out of his seat and
both pairs of eyes followed him across the room behind them. He picked
up a large cardboard and came over to hand it to Doggett. "I
don't understand." He took the box and looked inside as he
rested it on his lap. It did indeed contain his desk's
belongings.
Skinner went to sit again while the agents waited for explanation.
"Agent Reyes, you're to stay in the X-Files and
we'll assign you a new partner as soon as possible." Reyes
was just nodding. She was happy that her job was still secure. Her
worry turned to the concerned man beside her. If he was demoted and
not her then it would be so unfair. In her ponderings she almost
missed what the assistant director said.
"You will no longer be a special agent," Doggett's
heart was thumping at the anticipation. Skinner got out of his seat
and walked to him with his hand out. Doggett put the box on the floor
and stood slowly. As Skinner began to shake his hand he explained.
"Congratulations Assistant Director Doggett."
"What?" Reyes vocalized what her former partner was
thinking.
"You have had an exemplary record here at the FBI and it's
way past time that you were rewarded for it. Kersh put you down in the
X-Files for reasons we all know and since then I've been looking
for a position to come free more suited to your talents and interests.
I am now looking at the new Assistant Director of the Violent Crimes
Unit."
Reyes and Doggett couldn't believe what was happening. This was
the opportunity of their dreams. It left them with jobs they would
both enjoy and they could still continue their loving relationship.
"Go on then," Skinner motioned with his head to the door.
"Your new office is on the third floor. Set it all up and your
new position will be waiting for you after two weeks."
"Thankyou sir, I don't know what to say."
"Just go."
Reyes and Doggett walked down the hallway to the elevator to take to
the third floor.
Moments passed without words, each thinking about the new life ahead
of them to love each other freely.
"So John, what will we do for two weeks? I thought I might go
and visit my family." Doggett looked across to his former
partner and saw the huge grin she sported.
"You're not serious."
"So you want to spend the next two weeks with me?" Her
voice was lighter.
"I wouldn't want to spend it with anyone else." They
were in the elevator alone and Doggett leaned across to kiss her lips.
"So let's go away somewhere. What do you say John."
"Right now Alaska sounds good."
The elevator doors opened and they stepped out both smiling inwardly
knowing it wouldn't be hard deciding on what they'd do for the next
two weeks.
Epilogue
Reyes' Apartment
So they were on suspension. They both knew that this was only a
formality and that Skinner had little choice in suspending them for
their inappropriate actions on the job. For all they knew the
Assistant Director was probably smirking right now knowing
they'd be together loving every minute of the next fortnight.
Two weeks without pay would be a little harsh but it was all worth it
for the happiness they both felt in each other's company.
Doggett was a little annoyed that the obnoxious Meyers had been set
free with no evidence as yet of his involvement in the Laketon
cover-up but it would only be a matter of time before something was
found that would land him in prison. He did have solace in the fact
that he too was on suspension from his law enforcement role and may
never return due to the revelation that he'd been having an
affair with the mayor's wife.
This was the agent's first evening back in DC and they'd
decided to spend it at Reyes' apartment. The lights were low and
the mood tranquil. Reyes had an idea about how they could spend the
next few minutes before going to bed.
She produced a heap of her early childhood photos from a smaller box
she'd retrieved form her room. John's eyes widened as he picked
up a few and studied them.
"Mon, I didn't think they took naked baby shots any more. Isn't it too
much of an embarrassment at twenty-first birthday parties?" He
chuckled as she snatched the photo out of his hand and looked. Her
face flushed at the site of her in the bath being washed by her mom.
Without talking about her embarrassment she put it behind her on the
floor and changed the subject.
"So John, when do I get to see some of your early photos?" He
continued to look through the stack, every now and then turning his
head to see one that was on an angle. His eyes told all about his
feelings as he scrolled through. He loved her; he loved looking at
every image he saw. He looked up at her every now and then almost
comparing the then to now.
"Monica, you were beautiful then and you're even more beautiful now."
She moved over to sit next to him and they shared the visual memories.
Those words of his helped her melt into his body. Her head rested on
his shoulder as he went through the rest of the photos slowly, almost
too slowly. She felt his breathing more audibly and knew that he was
responding to her closeness.
She moved her arm around his waist and sank even deeper into his
shoulder. This gave him the signal that she wanted more.
"Mon," she felt his chest rise and fall and knew that he was
responding to more than the photos. Her hand traced lines down his
thighs to his knees then up to his hips.
She took the photos out of his hands and placed them on the table all
the time looking into his eyes.
"John, you don't need to see photos when you can have the
real image." Doggett knew exactly what Reyes was thinking. He
took her hand and led her to the bedroom.
..............
Reyes couldn't remember the last time a man had slept in her
bed. All the nights she'd dreamt of this man beside her under
the sheets paled against the fact that it was actually going to
happen. The feel of his strong hand in hers was all she needed to know
that this was just the start of a night filled with pleasure and
passion beyond belief.
"So Mon, show me the real image. I want to see a real naked
Monica." Next to the bed he took her in his arms and squashed
her body against his. Her arms found their way around his waist and
she hugged him tightly and breathed in taking in his wonderful smell.
He then pulled away and lay back on the bed with a smug expression.
"Go on, show me." Reyes knew exactly what her lover wanted
and was not shy to show him either. He'd seen her naked a few
times now but hadn't seen him actually watching her. His was
such an expressive face; she wanted to see his reaction first hand as
she undressed.
"What would you like to see first?' Her fingertips lightly
traced her body, over her breasts and stomach, then down over her hips
to her thighs. This gesture alone elicited a wide-eyed almost panting
look on her lover's face. He was putty in her hands at that
point.
"Anything you want to show me Mon." She moved up to the
bed and went into kiss him just leaving a little distance between
them. As his lips almost met hers she moved back again teasing him.
She was going to make him ache for her.
Her fingers went to the button of her pants and undid it and then the
zip. She pulled them down slowly over her hips and then turned to
wriggle them all the way off. This gave Doggett a view of her ass and
although she couldn't see him she heard his breathing and knew
he like what he saw. Her thumbs hooked the elastic of her panties and
she bent right over as she drew them down her legs and kicked them
off.
"Monica, come here." Reyes knew that Doggett was hot for
her but was not going to let him have what he wanted just yet. Teasing
him more she moved to the side of the bed just out of reach of his arm
trying to touch her. "Please Mon, I want you now."
"Uh uh," she shook her head. Not until you see me totally
naked." Her fingertips went to her shirt buttons and she
unclasped them ever so slowly showing a little bit more cleavage each
time. "Do you want to touch me John? Do you want to make love to
me now?"
"Yes, come here now." Her eyes went to the obvious bulge
in his pants and felt pleasure at being able to turn him on like that.
When the buttons were exhausted she pulled the shirt off leaving her
just in her bra. Turning around again she undid the clasp and let the
flimsy garment drift to the floor. "Oh Mon, you're
beautiful." She could feel his eyes burning holes in her bare
flesh. As she turned she witnessed the transformation on his already
aroused face. He really liked what he saw as she moved closer standing
just out of reach again.
"So what do you want now John?"
"I want to touch you Mon." Then was the time to get closer
and she found herself wondering what part of her he'd touch
first.
.................
His hands felt wonderful as they trailed over her stomach then down to
her dark curls and between her legs. Her legs widened accepting his
manual attention. His fingers felt the readiness for him and she found
herself almost toppling as he ran circles around her clit and then
slip inside her. His thumb massaged her clit as two fingers pumped her
internally. She had to hold the headboard of the bed for support as
she felt a wave of pure ecstasy encompassed her body.
Seeing and feeling her release, with his other hand he reached for her
arm and pulled her onto him. As he did so his fingers slipped out and
she felt a rush of cool air where they'd been. How did he do
this to her so quickly? She heard a little chuckle and knew that
Doggett felt proud that he could bring her to orgasm like that.
Laying on top of him they kissed as his hands felt down her spine
tracing all the curves of her back and ass. Reyes felt her strength
returning again and sat up to undo Doggett's shirt buttons. His
clothing was a lot quicker to come off. In no time they lay there
together warm skin touching and kissing. As he rolled her over onto
her back he moved her legs apart and Reyes knew that her lover was
ready for the physical union they both craved.
His cock teased her still sensitive clit a little before he pushed
inside her. All their past love-making rushed into her mind as he gave
her very special attention with his body. This man making love to her
was a godsend. Not only was he wonderful to look at but he loved and
cared deeply for her and he was a perfect bed partner. She had never
had two orgasms so close together before but this was happening all
over again.
Doggett felt Reyes' body tense beneath him and knew she was
coming for a second time. He'd held on as long as he could and
now was relieved he could let go. He'd never felt this
experience of mutual orgasm as profoundly as he did with his lover.
They rode the currents in tandem letting each other call out their
names in ecstasy.
Doggett let his head slip down with exhaustion but was careful not to
