Chapter 4 The First Victory
"You have permission to do whatever you deem necessary to keep the peace. For now," Director Stone added, stressing the time limit. "We'll talk about the specifics after we've had more time to assess the situation."
Wyatt stayed put, awaiting further instruction.
Waving him out the door, she looked up from her work for a single moment to say, "Now would be great, Dr. Thornton," the edge in her voice finally knocked some sense into the man.
"Yes, Ma'am -- I mean, right away, Director!" Stunned but overjoyed, he nearly skipped down the hall to their room. As he drew near, he heard Eve crying in a way he'd never heard before. He sped up to a full-tilt run and spotted a massive wall of a man blocking his entrance. Skidding to a halt, Wyatt nearly collided with the guard but just managed to avoid it.
"No one goes in, buddy," the wall spoke.
"Call Director Stone. Tell her you're asking about Dr. Thornton." Staring at the beast, calling himself a man, Wyatt crossed his arms to indicate he wouldn't leave. Curiously, Eve's wailing ceased, creating tense anticipation in the air.
"Or I could have them take you away on a gurney." The wall threatened, cracking his knuckles ominously.
"You could, but if I'm important to our visitor there, and I am, you could have a real mess on your hands."
Groaning, the guard called his supervisor, gave the doctor's name, and hung up. For a few tension-filled minutes, he kept a careful eye on his suspect. Meanwhile, Wyatt tried to fortify his nerve by picturing Eve's smile. After what seemed like an eternity, a text message came through confirming the doctor's story.
Without another word, much less an apology, the wall opened the door.
Walking in, Wyatt couldn't believe he had spent the night in the same room. Somehow Eve shredded the comforter, overturned the mattress, and broke the mirror over her dresser. As his eyes sifted through the mess, he spotted a lone doctor panting against the bathroom door. Wyatt cleared his throat and gently moved his panic-stricken colleague out of the way.
His fellow doctor shook, not seeing or hearing anything. Wyatt shook his head.
I'd help him, but they need me in global diplomacy.
Security will send someone to help once they see it's safe.
Slowly, he cracked open the door. At first, he didn't see anything. Then, a pair of amber eyes popped up from inside the tub, high enough to peek.
"WYATT!" Eve popped out of the tub like a cork and ran to meet him wearing only his lab coat. Her once clean face had caked-on debris with a tiny bit of blood. As relieved tears rained down her face, streaks formed, showcasing her joy at his return.
Sighing, he wrapped his arms around her. "I'm here, lovely. It's alright. I've talked the board into giving us a chance. By the way, your tantrum worked wonders, kudos."
I can't believe how much I missed her. What's happening to me? I barely know her!
She let out a contented murmur to convey her happiness as one of her hands snaked down to rub her favorite tool of humanity. Wyatt let out a surprised moan as her hands stroked his quickly inflating member. When he opened his mouth to speak, she put her mouth to work, licking and biting his neck.
"Eve, honey, we have to get started. I want to show them..." he lost his breath as she somehow managed to undo his pants zipper and free his rigid staff. "Let's take a shower. You'll get what you want, but we'll also check an item off our list."
When he tucked himself back into his boxers, she let out a pathetic cry as if he took away her favorite toy.
"A little patience, lovely. Waiting can be pleasurable too," Wyatt teased, pinching her lightly on the ass as he finished adjusting the water temperature.
Confused, Eve stared at her ass in wonder, but before she could do more, he pulled her inside the gigantic glass shower stall. The warm curtain of water encompassed her as his arms did the same. Sighing, she leaned back against him, running her hands through his hair and playfully tugging.
As she massaged his head, he took the opportunity to wash her hair uninterrupted.
She's so calm now. Seeing her, you'd never believe she threw a world-class fit not long ago.
Suddenly he realized Eve's intent behind his scalp massage and gave her a little conditioner and shampoo to assist.
