Emma looked up as Roland came to a stop outside her office door.

"You have a delivery." Roland said smiling brightly.

"Okay?" Emma said as she stood from her desk. Roland and Emma
spoke quietly as they made their way back to the front desk. Emma
smiled as she saw the huge bouquet of roses sitting on the desk.

"They are beautiful," Roland said to Emma as she gently pulled
the card from the middle of the vase.

"Yes they are." Emma said with a sigh as she read the card. "Thank
you." She said as she lifted the vase and carried it back to her office.

Emma leaned back in her chair as she stared at the flowers, they
were beautiful but that wasn't the point. She picked up her purse and
pulled out her cell phone. After a short internal debate on whether or
not to call Jeni, she dialed the numbers.

"Hello." Jeni answered after a few short rings.

"Hey."

"Emma, what's wrong?" Jeni could hear the disappointment in her
friends voice.

"Kevin sent me flowers."

"Oh, no. Not again!"

"Yes," Emma said turning so she didn't have to look directly at the
flowers.

"I'm so sorry Emma. I know you were looking forward to his visit.
Did he send a card like last time?"

"Yes." Emma said.

"What did it say?" Jeni asked and she heard Emma moving
around.

"Darling, I'm sorry. I love you." Emma read the card, "I wish he
wouldn't call me darling when he's doing something like this. It makes
me hate to hear him say it when he's here."

"I know. I'm so sorry. I know it hurts, but it's worth having the
time that you do have with him isn't it?"

Emma sighed as she leaned her head back on her chair, "I would
have said yes before, that it was worth it. But now, I'm not so sure
anymore."

"Oh Em, I'm so sorry. God I wish I could make it better." Jeni said
with a sigh.

Emma laughed, "Yeah I wish you could ship him over here."

"Oh if I could, I'd have his destination stamped on his ass and send
him there overnight."

Emma laughed at the thought, "That would be too funny."

Hours later, Emma sighed as she sat down on the train. Her arms
were killing her. Damn him. Emma thought as she adjusted the flowers
again. He had to buy a lead crystal vase knowing she would have to
carry it home. She sighed as another woman looked at her, the flowers
and then smiled. If only they knew. Emma thought to herself smugly.

Emma groaned as she adjusted the vase again, as she struggled to
slip the key into the lock. Once inside she sat the flowers down in the
kitchen and slipped her shoes off. She stood staring at the flowers,
feeling her mood darken. She shook her head, she didn't think her mood
could get worse but she had been wrong.

As she turned to leave the kitchen, something in the living room
caught her attention. She walked to the door of the living room and
noticed a faint light in her bedroom. Instantly, her mind went into
overdrive wondering if someone had broken into her house while she
had been at work. She quietly made her way to her bedroom door and
noticed that the door was slightly ajar. She pushed on the door, letting it
open slowly. It took her a minute to realize exactly what she was seeing.
The room was awash with candle light and standing at the end of her
bed, propped against the footboard was Kevin.

She stared at him, for more than a few seconds, not really
believing he was there. "Kevin?" She said quietly.

"Hello, darling." He said his southern drawl accentuated by the
deep timbre of his voice. She watched as he slowly straightened from
his spot and crossed the room to stand in front of her. He looked down
at her and smiled. "Did you get the flowers I sent?" He asked with a grin.

"Oh! You did that on purpose!" She exclaimed.

He grinned down at her as he ran his hands down her arms, "Well
yeah. I had to throw you off. I couldn't surprise you if you were
expecting me to be here."

"Oh!" Emma said with a growl. "You ruined my mood ALL day!"

"Oh, really?" He replied letting his voice drop an octave, "Do you
think I can improve your mood, now?"

"Maybe." Emma said with a smile.

"Just maybe?" Kevin asked with his own smile.

"Shut up and kiss me already," Emma replied.

"That I can do." Kevin said as he wrapped his arms around Emma,
pulling her to him tightly.

Emma wrapped her arms around Kevin's neck as he deepened the
kiss. He lowered his arms, lifting her into his arms. She wrapped her
legs around his waist as he turned and headed toward the bed.

She stared up at Kevin as he lowered her gently to the center of
the bed. She smiled up at him as he ran his hands down her body to her
lower body. She lifted her hips as he pulled her slacks from her body. He
slowly unbuttoned her top pushing it off her shoulders, opening her
body to his eyes.

"You are so beautiful." Kevin said softly. Emma blushed as he
raised his eyes to her face. She could see the love so clearly written
there she pulled him to her and kissed him deeply.

Her kiss seemed to weaken his resolve, and he moved quickly to
remove her underwear. Once she was completely naked, he stopped
and closed his eyes.

"Kevin, what's wrong?" Emma asked as she ran her hand down
the side of his face.

"I don't want to loose control." His voice was soft, almost strained,
"I want it to be good for you." He finished, opened his eyes and looked at
her.

"Baby, it will be good." Emma replied with a smile. He smiled at
her and climbed from the bed and stripped without taking his eyes off
her.

He climbed back into bed, and positioned himself between her
legs. He kissed her slowly until she groaned into the kiss. He smirked as
he moved his kisses from her lips to her neck. He heard her breath catch
as he kissed the soft skin beneath her ear. He made his way down her
body, kissing from her neck to her breast taking his time lavishing each
breast with equal attention until Emma was writhing beneath him.

As he slipped further down her body, Emma stopped him. "Kevin."

"Yes." He said as he positioned himself between her thighs.

She gasped as he kissed the inside of her thigh, "Now." Was all
Emma could get out before he kissed her folds.

"So sorry." He said against her, making her groan quietly.

Kevin loved Emma with his mouth until she screamed his name.
Afterwards he slowly made his way back up her body kissing as he
went. He smiled down at her as he settled himself between her thighs
his body nestled against hers. She grinned up at him as she ran her nails
up and down his sides.

"Are you in a better mood now?" Kevin asked with a smirk.

"I'm getting there." She replied.

"Well, lets get you in a better mood." Kevin said. He leaned back
and lifted Emma's hips. He watched her face as he slid into her slowly.
He stopped halfway to allow her to adjust to him. Once he felt she was
ready he slid into her completely. His head lulled back as her body
reacted to his and tightened around him. He released her hips and
leaned over her body his elbows holding his weight as he began his
rhythm.

"Kevin." Emma groaned as he slowly pulled from her body and
slipped back into her. She groaned again as he smiled and shook his
head.

"I want to make it last." Kevin said, his voice breaking as she
tightened around him again. "Stop it," Kevin said his eyes closing at the
sensation.

"I need you." Emma whispered as Kevin kissed her softly.

"I need you too." Kevin said as he ended the kiss. He pushed into
her faster, rocking his hips so that he brought her to her completion
quickly. Emma voice calling his name as she came was all it took to
make him loose control. He lowered his head to the bend of her neck as
he pushed into her, his release brought Emma to another peak and he
groaned into her neck as her body milked his body.

Instead of crushing her body with his, he wrapped his arms
around Emma's back and rolled over onto his back. He settled her onto
his chest. He ran his fingers slowly up and down her back as their
breathing came back to normal.

"Why did you send the flowers?" Emma asked as she propped her
chin on her hands on his chest.

"I wanted you to think I wasn't coming. I wanted to surprise you."

Emma laughed at his response, "You know, you could have
surprised me without making me think you weren't coming."

"No, if you thought I'd be here when you got off work, I wouldn't
have had time to get everything ready." He said looking up at her.

"Don't ever do that again. Just tell me to be late, I can follow
directions." Emma said as she sat up, straddling Kevin.

"Oh I know you can. How about you follow these directions."
Kevin said, taking her hips in his hands moving her forward.

Emma groaned quietly and smiled down at Kevin. "Nice
directions." She said as she started her own rhythm.
