It was the day after Christmas and the hubbub at the King-Stetson household had finally settled down. The boys were with Joe for the remainder of the weekend. Dotty, Aunt Lillian, and Uncle Robert (as the Colonel had become known to everyone but Lee) were out and about looking for after Christmas sales before heading to an afternoon
matinee of The Nutcracker. That left only Lee and Amanda at home to enjoy the solitude.
"I still find it hard to believe that the Colonel agreed to accompany your mother and aunt to the mall and the ballet. I don't know what's gotten into him," Lee said as he heaved an exaggerated sigh. Even though he and the Colonel had made great strides in forging a new
relationship, Lee still found it difficult trying to be under the same roof with his uncle. Although he had tried his best to focus on his adult relationship with his uncle, it was often the frightened little boy of his past who reacted to the Colonel. There had been several times during the Colonel's brief visit when Lee found himself
flinching at the sound of his uncle's voice. A time or two, he had actually snapped to attention when his uncle called his name. At least he felt he had the cringing under control. That only happened when the Colonel called him "Skip."
"I think that maybe he just wanted to get out of the house. It's not easy being cooped up with six other people when you're used to being on your own."
"Yeah, maybe," Lee mumbled unconvinced.
"Speaking of getting out of the house, we don't we—"
"Oh, no, you're not dragging me to the mall. I barely got
out with my life during our last shopping trip. Why, I'd rather face a roomful of KGB agents than try and tackle any more desperate mothers searching for `Princess Barbie."
Amanda chuckled as she watched him backpedal out of the room, waving his arms in front of his body. "What I was going to say was why don't we get out of the house for a while and maybe go for a walk? I feel like I've been in the kitchen for the past week."
Lee tilted his head as he thought about her suggestion. Nodding, he said, "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. With all the goodies I've been eating lately, I probably should jog from here to the Agency and back several times," he said rubbing his belly.
Amanda replied, " No jogging. Just a nice quiet walk to enjoy the snow and the Christmas decorations in the neighborhood. I'll be back in just a minute."
He waited patiently. Well, at least for him it was patient. After about two minutes he hollered up the stairs. "Amanda, are we going today?"
Several moments passed before she headed down the stairs. Reaching into the closet, she grabbed her jacket. She zipped up her coat, wrapped her scarf around her neck, and pulled on her mittens.
"Going to the artic?" Lee teased. He pulled his down vest on over his sweater.
"I know the sun is shinning and it looks warm out there, but it's only twenty-eight degrees. I want to be warm enough to enjoy the great outdoors, not freezing my buns off."
"We can't have that. I like your buns!" he exclaimed
wiggling his eyebrows and giving her a slight pat on her behind.
"Oh you!" she said as she swatted at his arm. Out the door
they headed, mitten in glove.
They walked through the neighborhood trying to decide whose display they liked best. They ended up in the park where they did two runs down the sledding hill. A couple of Jamie's friends lent them their saucers. Next they built a snowman and soon found themselves in a snowball fight. Before they left the park, Amanda showed Lee how to
make a snow angel.
"I can't believe you have never made a snow angel
before," she said as she waved her arms and legs in the snow.
He chuckled as he pulled her from the ground. "Snow angels were hard to come by in the warm climates where we were stationed."
They walked arm in arm back to the house. It was cold and it started snowing. They stopped in the backyard and held each other as the snow silently fell around them. "This is the kind of snow I love," said Amanda. "It's the big, fluffy flakes that you can catch on your tongue." She stuck out her tongue to demonstrate.
Lee pulled her close to him and kissed her nose, then her lips. She shivered as she snuggled closer to him. "You cold?"
"A little."
"Why don't we go inside? I'll bet I can find a way to
warm you up," he said with a leering smile.
"I'll just bet you can," she said and they headed into
the house, stopping first to stomp the snow off their boots. They paused at the back door and removed their boots.
"Why don't you take these into the laundry room to dry
out," she said as she handed him her boots. "I'll take the coats and hang them up."
He headed into the laundry room with both pairs of boots and then decided to sneak up on her when she came back into the kitchen.
Stepping back into the kitchen, she said, "Why don't you
start a fire and I'll make us some hot chocolate?"
"Actually I had something different in mind," he said as he reached out and grabbed her backing her against the kitchen island. He lowered his head and began placing tiny kisses across her face. His hands held her head as he pulled back and looked into her eyes.
"Did anyone ever tell you that you have a cute nose?" he
asked as he planted a kiss on the end of her nose.
"As a matter of fact, yes, someone did."
"Who?"
"A tall, handsome, spy that I love dearly."
"Oh yeah?"
"Definitely!"
He pulled her close and hugged her tightly. "The feeling is mutual, my dear." He loosened his hold slightly and his hands began to wander over her body. She shivered in his arms. He thought it was from his well-planned seduction techniques but as his hands found their way to her rounded bottom, he felt the cold, wetness of her
jeans.
"Hey, you must really be cold. We need to get you out of these wet clothes before you catch cold." He undid the button and unzipped her jeans and began peeling them down her legs. As he did, he noticed two things: the jeans were icy and she was wearing long underwear. He couldn't help but laugh. But his laughter didn't last long as he
realized that they were alone and they hadn't had that pleasure for quite some time. He slid the long johns down her legs. He then began rubbing her cold flesh. His hands worked quickly over her legs and butt. He then lifted her onto the kitchen island.
"Lee, what do you think you are doing?" she asked as he ran his hands caressingly over her thighs.
"Someone once told me," he said as he leaned in to kiss her, "that this was the standard procedure for frostbite." Before she could respond, he stepped between her legs and deepened the kiss. Then he began to trail kisses along her jaw.
She then joined in the game as well. Putting just enough distance between them, she slid her cold hands underneath his sweater and he sucked in a breath. She pulled him forward and kissed him hard.
All this time, Lee was trying to find flesh but he was having trouble getting through all the layers of clothes she had on. Between kisses, he slipped her sweater over her head. He was working on the buttons of her blouse and pushed it off her shoulders only to be stopped by her cuffs. He had to unbutton those before the shirt
would come off. Once her shirt was off, he encountered her
turtleneck underneath. "Damn, woman, how many layers do you have on?" he growled in frustration.
She laughed as she tweaked his left nipple. "Just think of me as another Christmas present you get to unwrap." She forced his sweater up over his head and tossed it on the floor. As she raked her nails lightly over his chest, she said seductively, "Come on, Big Fella, you're way behind."
He finally pulled the turtleneck over her head only to find another thermal shirt. Slipping his hands underneath, he found his target. He teased her through the lace covering of her bra, brushing his thumbs back and forth across her nipples. Wanting more, he grabbed
the hem of her shirt and pulled it over her head, tossing it on the floor. Reaching behind her, he deftly unclasped her bra and pulled it down her arms. Having finally bared his treasure, he leaned in to feast upon this newly exposed flesh.
He flicked his tongue over her nipple and smiled in delight as the turgid flesh swelled. He blew a breath of air across her breast, then latched on to suckle her. His teeth nipped at her and he drew her deeply into his mouth.
Amanda leaned heavily against him as his hand played with one breast while his mouth played the other. She was definitely heating up and she decided it was time to work a little magic of her own. She leaned back just enough to get her hands in between them. She reached down and cupped him and felt him push against her hand. She undid his belt, his button and unzipped his fly. She pushed his
jeans and boxers down to his hips. Reaching inside, she wrapped her fingers around him and gently squeezed.
That caused Lee to gasp, breaking his contact with her breast. He loved the feel of Amanda's hand on him and he paused to enjoy her touch. He was so enjoying himself that he didn't realize Amanda had ceased her motions.
"Lee," she whispered, "Did you hear that?"
Mmmm, baby that feels so good. Why'd you stop?"
"Shhh!"
It was then they both heard a commotion outside the back door. Amanda jumped off the counter and said, Oh my gosh, someone's coming."
"Oh, I can't believe I forgot those tickets," they heard
Dotty say.
"It's okay. I'm glad we stopped by the house. This way
we can unload all these packages," Colonel Clayton replied.
"Hurry up, Dotty," Aunt Lillian said. "It's cold out
here. I'm about to turn into a popsicle."
"Well, I can't seem to find the keys. Why don't you try
the door? Lee and Amanda should be home."
The door thankfully was locked. When he moved into the house, he and Amanda sat everyone down and briefly explained how important it was to always be aware of their surroundings. Lee had insisted that each of them lock the door behind them whenever they came into the house. In the business they were in, one could never be sure and every ouncevof precaution was important.
"Oh, here they are," Dotty exclaimed, pulling them from her purse. Because of the cold, she dropped the keys. "Oh poot!" she exclaimed, bending down to pick them up.
Lee was transfixed in his spot. The color drained from his face and a look of horror took its place. He didn't move until he heard a key being inserted in the doorknob. He reached for Amanda's hand but she was already on her way up the stairs. He was about to follow her when he spied their scattered clothes on the floor. He dashed for
the clothes, scooped them up and hit the first stair just as the Colonel, Lillian, and Dotty entered the house. He and Amanda used their covert training to quietly make their way up the stairs and into their bedroom without being heard although Lee nearly stumbled because his pants almost fell down around his feet before he grabbed
them and hauled them back up his body. Finally reaching the safety of the bedroom, Lee locked the door as a precaution.
Amanda fell on to the bed in a fit of laughter. She held one of the pillows over her face until she was in control. "Oh my gosh," she chuckled, "I can't believe we almost got caught making out in the kitchen by your uncle and my mother."
Lee did not find the situation quite so amusing. He was still somewhat pale and looked as if he might be sick. He sat down on the bed and simply stared at the floor. A terrible memory flashed before him and he found himself transported back to the spring he turned fifteen.
Amanda was still chuckling over their close call. She crawled over and whispered to Lee, "Do you think they'll be here long?" She reached down and once again cupped his semi-erect flesh. "We can continue where we left off," she whispered as she stroked him.
At first Lee, didn't respond. He was too busy reliving a painful teenage memory. When Amanda's fingers began to work their magic, his body reacted quickly, bringing him out of his reverie.
"Amanda, stop!" he hissed pushing her hand away. In fact he stood up so quickly that he caused her to tumble onto the floor. The thickly padded carpet muffled the sound. Shocked by what had happened, he sat back down on the edge of the bed and reached out his hand to help her up.
She didn't get up but scooted closer to him. "What on earth has gotten into you?" she asked.
"I'm sorry, but..I …we..can't…do…this."
"Why? They're not going to come into our bedroom."
"Oh yeah?" Just as he said that, he heard the booming voice of the Colonel."
"Skip, you up here?"
Lee shot up off the bed and snapped to attention.
"Dotty, they're not here. They must have gone out," he
said as his voice trailing as he headed back down stairs.
Lee was still at attention. Amanda had to laugh because so
was `little Lee.' She reacted quickly and pulled down his
pants. With his feet tangled, she pushed him and he fell back onto the bed. She pulled off his jeans and gave him a push until he was lying on the bed rather than across it. She climbed up his body, pausing to place a kiss on the end of his penis. She continued kissing and licking her way up his body.
He was struggling against her, albeit half-heartedly. He could never resist the things she could do to him with her mouth. She straddled his chest and held his arms above his head.
"You want to tell me what's going on?" she asked.
"You'd never believe it."
Intrigued, Amanda asked, "What?"
"Let's just chalk it up to a painful teenage flashback."
"Come on Stetson, give. You know I have ways of making you
talk," and to demonstrate her point, she pressed her body against him.
Lee sighed. "Amanda, please stop, we've gotta stop."
"Why?"
Before he could answer, they both heard the back door slam. In a few moments, the car started and then pulled out of the driveway. He visibly relaxed and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to throw you on the floor."
"Sweetheart, I know the Colonel makes you a little edgy..."
Lee snorted. "Edgy? You think he makes me edgy?" He moved
her off his body and sat up against the headboard. He ran his fingers through his hair while heaving a great sigh.
"Why don't you tell me what's got you so uptight?
Lee got up from the bed and began to pace seemingly unaware of his nakedness.
"Well, it a little hard to explain."
"Why don't you start from the beginning?" She held out
her arm asking him to join her once again on their bed.
Lee looked at her and saw the love reflected on her face. He shook his head and walked over to the bed thinking what a fool he was reliving these old painful memories when he had the most beautiful and loving creature right in front of him. He sat down beside her and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. "It's not important. Not when I have you in my arms."
"But something's got you upset," she said tenderly as she
caressed his face.
Lee sighed knowing he would have to give her an answer of some sort before they could take pleasure in each other. He began placing tiny kisses along her jaw line and as he worked his way to her ear, he whispered, "Let's just say the Colonel has a knack for interrupting very intimate moments."
Amanda wanted to hear more details of the story, but her desire was overpowered by the things Lee was doing to her ear. Sighing, she smiled, knowing that she'd ask him for the details later. Right now, all she cared about were the feelings he was creating.
His hands began to wander over her flesh, giving her a fleeting caress or a tickle. His thumb brushed over her nipple and she arched her back letting him know how much she enjoyed it. But soon, she wanted to return the pleasure he was giving. Amanda turned and gently pushed Lee onto his back. With a wicked smile, she once again
straddled his body. With a sound akin to a purr she
whispered, "Seems like we've been here before." She
walked her fingers up his chest, pausing to play with his nipples. She watched as they hardened into tiny little buds. She kissed them both and licked her way to the pulse point in his neck. She loved the taste of his skin and she nibbled her way to his ear. There Amanda leaned
down and licked the swirl of his ear, then nibbled his earlobe.
She kissed the hollow of his neck and smiled as his pulse quickened. She flicked her tongue along his sensitive flesh and bit his shoulder. She released his hands and they immediately began roaming across her back. Sitting up, she rocked her hips against his and felt him harden. "I want you inside me, now," she whispered as she
raised her hips.
Reaching between them, Lee took hold of his flesh as she slowly settled down on it. Time stood still as they reveled in the intimate pleasure. No words were needed as they began to move in a soft, slow, rocking motion.
Lee's hands went to her waist, lifting her and lowering her upon his shaft. He shifted her slightly forward so that his strokes went deeper and deeper.
Breathlessly, Amanda cried, "Oh, Lee, that feels so
wonderful." As she felt the beginnings of her orgasm wash over her, Lee called out to her.
"Amanda, open your eyes. Look at me, sweetheart."
She did as she was asked and stared into the beautiful hazel eyes of her loving husband.
"I love you," he whispered as he arched into her.
"And I love you," she declared matching him stroke for
stroke.
As Amanda climaxed, Lee turned them so he was now on top. He could feel her muscles clenching him and he soon released his love into her.
After several minutes of recapturing their breath, Lee rolled to his side taking Amanda with him.
"Wow," he said. "That was certainly better than a trip
to the mall."
Amanda laughed as she snuggled against him. "Why thank you, kind sir. It was my pleasure."
He smiled down at her and reached for the covers. "No,
ma'am, the pleasure was all mine."
She kissed him and settled comfortable against his chest. Sleepily, she muttered, "You're not off the hook, buster."
"Huh? Lee grunted.
"You still owe me a story about the Colonel interrupting intimate moments."
Lee could only groan.
The end.
