The last two weeks had been frustratingly lonely, well the nights had
been. At least he'd be going home in the morning. He and Emily had
wrapped up the assignment just that night. Working with Emily had
been the only bright spot in the picture. They'd even arranged for
Emily to visit Thanksgiving during one of the stakeouts.
The one saving grace of this assignment had been it wasn't zero
contact. He could at least check in every day and be kept abreast of
what was happening on the home front.
He missed his partner.
He missed his wife.
Especially now, since they'd come `out of the closet'. One of the
best things they'd done in the last six months had been ending that
blasted mystery marriage.
He tossed and turned in the bed. A glance at the bedside clock
showed him it was three am. He doubted he'd get any sleep before
having to leave for the airport in six hours. He rolled over and
punched the pillow. He tried shutting his eyes. The only thing he
could think of was his wife waiting for him to return. He figured
out the time difference. It'd be about ten in Arlington.
He had to call home.
He had to hear her voice.
Sitting up in bed he picked up the phone and made the call.
Amanda answered the phone. "Hi, Lee."
"You knew it would be me."
"Yes." She laughed.
"I miss you. I want to hold you. Kiss you. Make love to you."
"I miss you too. And I want to hold, kiss and make love to you,
too. But you're there and I'm here. What can we do?" Amanda asked
in a husky voice.
"What are you wearing?" He asked as he stretched out on the bed to
make himself comfortable. It was going to be one of those 'types' of
calls again. It wasn't as good as holding her in his arms, but at
least they could give each other a form of pleasure. That was until
tomorrow, when he planned on ravaging her sexy body for hours on end.
