Ch.10 Gotta Let Go then You Can Begin
(CLARE)
Drew abducts my lips into a kiss; it's passionate, amorous, fiery and seducing. I start to melt into the kiss and kiss him back but then common sense takes over, along with my fear. I break the kiss and push Drew away, not just looking away from him I turn away from him.
"Drew we can't do this you need to go," I insist pointing to the door.
"Clare I…"
"Drew just go," I cut him off making my voice more austere.
He stays still a second; he doesn't say anything but he also doesn't move. Finally he sighs and I hear him walking out, when I hear the front door close I sink against my desk. I can still feel his kiss, his lips have left a tingling sensation on mine and for a second I envision myself running after him but I don't. After a couple of minutes I get up and close my office, locking up I get in my car and drive to Lucas' place. Everyone's here but Jake, I wave to everyone and grab a scotch from Lucas' wet bar.
"Uh oh hard liquor what happened?" Fitz asks.
"Drew kissed me, we kissed, he kissed me and I kissed him back," I mumble to them before downing the shot of scotch.
Lucas and Spin were playing pool, Fitz was throwing darts with Peter but they all stop. They're all watching me now, or rather gaping at me and I pour myself a second shot.
"What happened after the kiss?" Peter questions.
"I stopped the kiss and told him to get out," I reply sinking down on the sofa Fitz and Peter walk over to me sitting on either side of me.
"Good," Peter says.
"No because I wanted the kiss, I want Drew, only I can't have him. I can fire him as a client but we still can't see each other, not for a while. They did not prepare us for this in school, they never said what to do if you fall for one of your clients," I huff.
"If he kissed you then you can report it to the board as inappropriate conduct," Fitz points out.
"No I couldn't do that to Drew. If we'd met anywhere but in my office I'd be dating him right now," I huff. "It's really just not fair, I finally meet a really great guy I can see myself with and he's a patient and we can't be together. I think I'm going to go home, I need to go sulk in a bubble bath," I tell them handing my cup to Fitz and getting up.
"Call us if you need us," Peter says.
"I will," I smile at my friends and get up.
On the drive back to my place all I can think about is Drew, when I get home I pour myself a glass of wine and start a bubble bath. My mind wanders from elicit fantasies of Drew and I to the horrible backlash that will occur if anyone even finds out we kissed. I spend a rather restless night of lots of wine drinking, ice cream eating and chick flicks I fall asleep in the wee morning hours. Thankfully tomorrow is a Saturday and I don't need to be at the office, however I'm woken up by my doorbell at eight in the morning. I groan, put on a robe and walk to my front door, when I look through the peephole and see that it's Drew my heart skips a beat. I look in the mirror by my front door and quickly run my fingers through my hair to keep it from being a mess. I have raccoon eyes which are totally not sexy, and then realize I shouldn't look sexy and Drew shouldn't be here, I want him here but he shouldn't be here.
"Drew what are you doing here and how did you even know where I live?" I inquire in an admonishing tone, while I step back and open the door wider so he can come into the apartment.
"I brought an apology breakfast," he says holding up a tray with two coffee cups and a white bag that I assume has some pastry in it. I lock the door behind him and walk to the kitchen to get out plates, my mind is yelling at me that he needs to go and all the rest of me is giddy that he's here. "I also had my brother track down where you live, he and Owen told me it could be considering stalking but I wasn't going to let you go that easily," Drew says putting a croissant on a plate for me.
"Drew you know we can't do this," I tell him as I take a sip of my coffee.
"We can't have breakfast?"
"You know what I mean, I'm you're psychiatrist you are my patient our relationship has to stay professional. I could lose my job, my license," I respond.
"I'll find another therapist, I don't want to get you in trouble, I don't want to hurt you at all but this can't stay professional. I want to be around you, I yearn to be near you. When I first saw you my jaw dropped to the floor because I thought you were so gorgeous. Even though we talk about me and my massive problems during our sessions I still got to know you and I fell for you. I know this isn't a one sided attraction, you can't tell me that it is," Drew implores.
"It's not but that doesn't mean…"
"Clare I will find another therapist," Drew cuts me off before I have a chance to argue. "We don't even have to tell anyone until it's safe, I will sneak over here every night whatever it takes."
Before I even have a chance to argue and be sensible he captures me, seducing me into a kiss. Not just a kiss it's a declaration of feelings and a pledge to be good and wonderful and everything I need. I melt into the kiss as soon as his lips are on mine, melting into him and letting the real world fade away for this epic kiss. His tongue licks across my lips and they part granting him access, his tongue slips in and strokes mine sending a tingle of erotic eagerness through my body. I can feel the wet heat between my legs as my core heats into a fire only Drew can put out.
All my fears, along with my common sense evaporates away because in just this moment all I want is Drew. No part of me is thinking about consequences or backlash, all I know is I need this, I need him and I need him now. Every part of me is screaming to touch him and be touched by him. My arms link around his neck, his hands take me at the waist, we share one thought as he lifts me at the same time I jump on him and encircle my legs around his waist. Drew has never been in my apartment before and I don't think he can see much as he's still making out with me and walking backward, however he manages to find my sofa when he falls backward over the arm ending up on his back. I break the kiss to sit up untying my robe and tossing it behind me, the loose cotton shirt and panties I wore to bed last night are now revealed and Drew gives me this immensely carnally intoxicated grin and I blush.
Drew reaches for my shirt and pulls it over my head; my breasts fall free but are only exposed for a second before his hands envelop them. Gently he massages them, playing with the malleable flesh under his fingers, I smile and bite my lip watching the pleasure he gets just from this. After a moment he puts his arm around my waist and flips us over, now I'm on my back and he's straddled over me, he takes his shirt off and I grin at his bare chest, his olive skin glowing in the soft light of the early morning sun. He hops up over the arm of the sofa again and takes my panties off, flinging them somewhere in my apartment. The remainder of his clothes are quickly taken off and left in a pile, he grins at me, slowly moving back to me and I move back on the sofa opening my legs to invite him in.
He's hard as a rock, his cock standing at attention and ready to enter me. Drew slips an arm under my back, attaches our lips again and penetrates, sliding in and my body quivers. I grip onto his shoulders and release an exalted moan into the kiss, my hips moving, opening up to feel all of him that I can. His pace starts slow but perpetually builds as our passion grows and soon we're both moving at a fevered and frenzied pace, the cool morning suddenly lights on fire from the heat we make. I pulled out of the kiss long ago to breathe and moan in endless chains, his name dropping from my lips in shallow erotically baited breaths. I'm not sure how long I can hold out, I feel the need to climax building and I'm sure that I'm going climax any second. I feel him tensing just slightly and then his body relaxes and begins to shake as he releases. I let go, crying out his name and releasing in blissful orgasm.
Drew slows until our orgasms have dissipated, then he pulls out sitting up and smiling at me. I smile too, panting for breath and happy until it all hits me. Suddenly the repercussions of what just happened is all I can think about, as deeply as I wanted him a few moments ago I want to push him away now.
"I can't believe we just did that," I say under my breath.
"I know it was incredible," Drew grins.
"No I mean it never should have happened, we can't happen Drew you need to get out," I tell him hopping up and running to my room.
"Clare," he calls after me as I reach my bedroom and slam the door locking.
"Drew you need to go," I inform him.
"No," he says flatly, "open the door I'm not leaving."
"No you need to go I could get in a lot of trouble," I reply.
"Clare no one will find out, please open the door," he begs.
I ignore him and throw on some clothes before getting my cell phone out and calling Spinner.
"Hey what's up?" Spinner asks when he answers.
"I know you two are on duty but can you come over and kick Drew out of my apartment please?" I request.
"What is he doing at your apartment?" Spinner asks.
"I'll tell you after you kick him out."
(DREW)
"Clare I'm not leaving until you talk to me," I inform Clare when she still doesn't open the door.
"No I'm not talking to you go away, I could be fired, if anyone finds out my career is over. Please just leave," she asserts again.
"After that no way," I reply.
If she's not coming out then I'm going in if I have to take off the door to do so. I put my jeans and boxers back on and start looking around for tools. I find a screw driver in a kitchen junk drawer and start taking the hinges off her bedroom door. I've got one hinge off when there's a pounding out her door and it makes me jump.
"Open up," hollers a booming male voice.
"Who is that?" I call to Clare.
"My friends, if you won't leave on your own then they'll make you," she responds.
Before I can react her front door opens with a key and two uniformed cops come in, one of them holding the key they used to get in. They close the door and look at me, cocking their eyebrows when they see the screwdriver in my hand.
"Make him leave," Clare says loud enough that they can hear her through the door.
"You must be Drew," says one officer who's badge says Mason.
"Uh yeah," I nod.
"I'm Spinner, this is my partner Lucas, we're friends of Clare," Spinner tells me.
"Uh-huh," I nod.
"Why are you in her apartment and why are you taking her door off the hinges?" Lucas inquires; he looks a lot scarier than Spinner.
"YOU'RE WHAT?!" Clare yells through the door. "Why are you taking the door off the hinges?"
"Because you won't talk to me," I respond.
Lucas holds his hand out for the screwdriver and I hand it to him. Spinner puts his arm a little too tightly around my shoulders and they walk me back toward Clare's kitchen.
"So what are you doing here?" Spinner asks.
"I brought an apology breakfast," I say indicating the half eaten breakfast on the counter, "and I wanted to talk to her. We did talk a bit and then we kissed, and then we made love, which was amazingly hot and…" I'm saying when I see their faces, "you don't want to hear about that. Well anyway after that she jumped up and ran into the bedroom refusing to talk to me. I know she wants me to leave but I want to talk to her, no one ever needs to find out we did this, I mean other than you guys. I have feelings for her, like true deep do anything for her type of feelings, I would never do anything to hurt her. I'll find another therapist, we can stay secret I don't care I just want her and I will do whatever it takes to be with her."
Lucas and Spinner exchange a look, then look me over and exchange a look again.
"We love her but she can be stubborn and doesn't always handle things in the best way," Lucas tells me and I grin.
"I think you'll be good for her, but if this gets out and she gets hurt I will blame you and I will make you hurt because of it," Spinner warns me.
"Got it, I won't let anyone find out I swear I'd do anything to protect her," I assure them.
Lucas walks to the door and knocks on it softly while Spinner motions for me to hide.
"Clare come out," Lucas calls to her.
"Is he gone?" She questions.
"Yep," Lucas lies.
Clare opens her door which sort of falls because I took off one hinge. She looks at Spinner and Lucas, then sees me and scowls at them.
"You lied," she says angrily turning to go back to her bedroom but Lucas stops her.
"Talk to him Clare he seems like a good guy," Lucas tells her.
"He is," she replies but with a heavy sigh.
"Then what's the problem?" Spinner inquires.
"You know the problem, he's my client," she argues.
"Not anymore you're fired," I tell her and she shoots me a look.
"Clare you know you've got all of us if anything happens, and now you've got him. Now sit down and talk to him," Spinner commands taking her to the sofa.
"If she tries to lock herself in her room again there's a power drill in the closet there and if she tries to run just give us a call," Lucas says handing me his card.
"Thanks," I smile taking the card.
Spinner and Lucas leave and I sit on the sofa next to Clare, she's looking away from me so I turn her head to me.
"I won't let anything happen, we'll stay secret and if anyone suspects then I'll deny it. If we have to only see each other by sneaking over to each other's places that's fine. I can find another therapist but I don't think I need one, I'm happier with you than I have been in years, not just happier but more fulfilled and sure of myself. I'm falling in love with you Clare and I'm not just going to stop because you're afraid, I won't let anything bad happen to you and from what I saw neither will your friends. I want you, I need you, I'm falling in love with you and I'm not about to let you go," I assert.
She smiles, cupping my face and bringing her lips to mine, "We'll have to hide for at least a couple of months," she says when she pulls out of the kiss.
"I'm okay with that, I'll do anything to be with you Clare. I'll make you a key to my place and you can come over and if you won't make me a key for here then I'm sure Spinner and Lucas will," I tease and she laughs.
"I'll give you my spare and you can always hang with us at Lucas' place it's kind of the hub for us all," she tells me.
I just grin and kiss her again, after an eagerly passionate kiss to seal our relationship we spend all day together and I fix her door. She already knows pretty much everything there is to know about me so she tells me about herself, her parents, her brother Jake and his wife Jenna and their daughter Juniper. She tells me all about her friends including Spinner and Lucas, but there's also Peter and Fitz. I realize she pretty much has all male friends, except for Jenna and Spinner's wife Emma who is in Brazil right now, so she should get along with Owen and Adam just fine. After spending the whole day talking and being together we order dinner in and then Lucas calls to see how it went. She tells him we're together and he invites us over. I ask if Adam and Owen can join us because I want them to meet Clare and Lucas says it's fine so I call Adam, since I'm sure he and Owen are at Downtown Sasquatch by now.
"Hey you want to come hang out at Clare's friends place and meet Clare?" I ask when he answers.
"Wait so you guys are together now?" Adam inquires.
"Yeah but we have to keep it secret for a couple months so she won't get in trouble. We're headed to Lucas' place now and you and Owen can come hang out," I tell my brother.
"Okay cool," Adam responds.
I give him Lucas' address and hang up, Clare and I took separate cars to be on the safe side. Lucas has a pretty standard house on the outside but it's like guy heaven on the inside. I can see why it's the hub for Clare and her friends, there's a pool table, big screen TV, wet bar, darts and I even see a hot tub on the patio. As soon as we're inside with the door closed Clare takes my hand and pulls me with her to meet everyone.
"Hey Drew," Lucas and Spinner say looking over from where they're shooting darts.
"Drew this is my brother Jake and his wife Jenna," Clare introduces me to a girl roughly Clare's height with long blonde hair and tall lanky guy with green eyes.
"Hey it's nice to meet you I've been hearing a lot about you," I say shaking their hands but Jenna gives me a hug.
"You already met Spin and Lucas," Clare says and we nod to each other. "And this is Fitz and Peter," she tells me walking me to the two guys playing pool.
"Good to meet you," Peter says but he gives me a bit of a harsh look.
"Hey," Fitz nods to me.
"Hi nice to meet you guys," I tell them and put my arm around Clare.
"You want a beer Drew?" Lucas offers.
"Yeah thanks," I smile and then the doorbell rings. "That's probably Adam and Owen," I tell Clare giving her a quick kiss before I go open the door. "Hey you guys found it," I comment letting Owen and Adam in, I shut the door and Clare walks over to me with a smile. "This is my brother Adam and best friend Owen, guys this is Clare."
"It's wonderful to meet you," Clare grins.
"You too, you are pretty much all he's talked about for weeks and weeks," Adam says shaking Clare's hand.
"I can see why he fell so hard so fast," Owen tells her shaking her hand and Clare smiles.
I introduce Owen and Adam to everyone else, Jake gets us all a beer and we sit down. Jenna asks us a lot of questions but she seems sweet, Clare's guy friends also ask me a few questions but they're cool and we all get along. We all hang out at Lucas' place for about three hours, everyone has a good time and I really like Clare's friends, she especially gets on well with Adam and by the time we leave she seems to have no more doubts about us.
"I'll sleep at my place tonight to be safe but I will be dreaming about you the whole time and I'll be over in the morning," I tell her.
She grins and kisses me before going out the door. I drive home with a huge smile on my face, I went to therapy help heal from the hurt Alli caused and ended up falling in love.
Hope you all enjoyed it that's the end of this one.
