Eternally Yours


Marlena looks out one of the penthouse windows. She sighs as she closes her eyes and thinks of John. She couldn't sleep at all last night because every time she closed her eyes, her thoughts drifted to John. Roman had asked her the night before at dinner if anything was wrong, but as usual she lied about her feelings. She looked out into the morning sky at the town and wished that she could be sharing this view with John. As if on cue, there is a soft tapping at the door.
"I wonder who that could be this early in the morning." she replies confused as she opens the door to find John standing there holding flowers. She is instantly happy to see him. "John, what are you doing here?
"I know that I'm not supposed to be here Doc, but I just couldn't stay away from you." he explains picking her up in a loving hug. "I just can't stand spending my nights alone anymore."
"Oh John," she says kissing him briefly. "I love you so much."
"He's upstairs sleeping, isn't he?" John nods at the staircase as he feels Marlena's hesitation in kissing him.
"He had a very hard time last night John." Marlena explains watching a dark expression take over John's happiness. "He seems to still be struggling to get back on the road to recovery."
"He will get back on his feet again soon Doc." he whispers as she leads him inside the penthouse.
"I know he will." she agrees turning to face him. "We just have to be patient John."
"Doc, I don't know how much more of this I can take." he sighs watching her gaze back at the staircase.
"I know honey, but soon we can be together and there won't be anymore secrets between all of this." she replies moving in for a kiss.
"Doc, I miss waking up with you in my arms." he whispers softly in her ear as he wraps his arms around her. "I hate the thought of spending all this time away from you."
"Soon." she whispers frustrated.
"I hate the thought of him sleeping up there in our bed." John responds tensing up against Marlena. "I hate being the one that has to stay away from you."
"Baby, I want to be with you too, but we have to think about Roman's health." Marlena sadly reminds him. "I had to medicate him last night."
"Doc, I want you." John declares boldly as he softly kisses her ear.
"John?" she asks confused.
"Doc, I know that we promised that we would wait," he begins whispering warmly in her ear, "but I can't wait any longer. I want to make love to you."
"But John Roman is upstairs asleep." she begins to protest as his kisses slowly trail down along her neckline.
"Your right Doc. He's asleep, and he'll never know." John insists tugging on her robe. "Come on. Please."
"John," she replies looking at the stairs again. "Do you realize what a risk you and I would be taking if we did that?"
"Doc," he said forcing her to look into his eyes. "You are well worth the risk. I love you."
"I love you too." she whispers as he sweeps her up into his arms and carries her into the kitchen.
"Let's do this right." he says sweeping the table off with one hand while he holds Marlena in the other arm.
"Make love to me John." Marlena insists as he presses his body against hers.
"I've never wanted to do anything more than just that." He replies slowly devouring her neck.

John quickly pulls off Marlena's robe as she helps him unbutton his shirt. The two quickly remove the rest of the clothing barrier between them as John begins to indulge in Marlena's naked body. He moves her onto the table top and runs his hands alongside her shoulders slowly as he begins to move toward her stomach coming dangerously close to reaching his destination.

"Oh John. How long I've waited for this." Marlena whispers running her nails down his back as he teases her with his hands.
"Doc, you deserve to be cherished each and every day. I should be making love to you every morning." John sighs as he looks her over in between placing soft kisses on her stomach. "You're so beautiful."
"You're the most wonderful man John Black." Marlena gasps taking in the sight of him as his kisses slowly reach her lower abdomen.
" Do you want me to stop?"John asks on his knees looking up at her.
" Make love to me baby." Marlena responds heating up at his every touch.
"As you wish." John smiles returning back to his work as she lays back on the table groaning in excitement as he continues to explore every region of her body with his tongue. He feels himself growing increasing excited as she begins to be on the brink of losing control with each movement he makes.

"Don't wait any longer!!!" Marlena insists pulling him up to look into her eyes. "Make love to me now."
"I'm just trying to do this right Doc. I want to give you something to remember all morning." John explains wanting her more each passing second. "I want this to be special."
" No more fooling around I want you inside of me." Marlena urges trailing her hand down John's heated body. "I want you now."

John follows Marlena's request and the two are joined as one on top of the table. The excitement of Roman sleeping upstairs adds to their urgency as they realize that he could awaken any minute and find them in this compromising position. They pick up their pace until neither one of them can take anymore. Their lips join as they both reach their point together.
"I love you so much." Marlena sighs smiling even though she's tired from their lovemaking.
" I love you too." John whispers holding her tightly.
" You're quite good at what you do Mr. Black." Marlena teases moving in for another kiss.
"There's more where that came from." John replies grinning mischievously as he moves in for another long kiss. They suddenly hear a thump coming from upstairs.
"Roman's awake."Marlena sighs frowning sadly. "I wonder if he heard anything."
"That would make it easier for us to explain things to him." John teases sitting up and handing Marlena her clothes. He notices that she seems unamused by his last comment. "I doubt it. He can sleep through just about anything on that medication."
"I don't want this to end." Marlena announces sadly taking one last long look at John's body while he gets dressed.
"Me neither." John replies grinning as he finishes getting dressed. He takes one last look at her as he leans in for a kiss while he helps her finish getting dressed.
" I hope this all ends soon." Marlena thinks out loud while looking in her mirror on the wall.
" It will. Maybe after the appointment with Mike today, we will find out that Roman will be healthy enough to hear the truth." John whispers slightly frustrated that he can't spend the entire day making love to Marlena.
"I hope so." Marlena replies looking at John's reflection in the mirror. She notices that John is smiling as he thinks about what just took place. "What are you smiling about? We have to go put on an act for Roman now."
"I was just thinking about how wild you are Dr. Evans." John laughs touching Marlena's back softly.
" Oh...uh." Marlena breathes heating up as his hands slowly move to her breasts. "John I..."
"Don't say another word." John insists turning her around and giving her another long sensuous kiss. "I promise you that we'll continue this later."
"That better be a promise." Marlena insists smiling at the thought of making love to John once again.
"That's a fact." John smiles releasing her and walking to the kitchen door.
John walks out into the living room and finds a confused looking Roman standing at the top of the staircase.
" What are you doing here John?" Roman asks surprised to see John.
" We were just getting ready for breakfast." John replies as Marlena walks out of the kitchen.
" That's what all that noise was." Roman rationalizes not knowing what had just taken place in the kitchen.
"Yeah, we were just going to get things cooking." Marlena adds trying not to blush.
"From the sound of it in there, it sounded like you two were having trouble getting things started up in there." Roman smiles thinking about it. "Doc, you never were too handy in the kitchen, were you?"
"She seemed to be doing fine to me." John replied unable to resist as he turns to her. "There didn't seem to be any problems in the kitchen. Right Doc?"
"Nope." Marlena manages to spit out as she tries to control herself.
"Good." Roman smiles as he heads towards the kitchen. " Let me see if I can help you get things heated up in there."
" I think he's about twenty minutes too late for that." John grins at Marlena as Roman walks into the kitchen leaving them alone in the living room.
" You're terrible John." Marlena teases hitting him slightly.
" You didn't say that a few minutes ago." John replies pretending to be offended.
" Are you two coming?" Roman asks peering out of the kitchen.
"Sure thing." Marlena responds looking away from John and towards Roman. She walks towards the door as Roman walks back into the kitchen. "We were just talking for a second."
"I'm hungry. Let's eat." John announces playfully hitting her behind as he follows her into the kitchen while he dreams of the day when the two of them will be able to tell Roman the truth.
