SUMMARY: This is the adventure of a Christmas teddy, purchased by Amanda
King at the mall,
witnessed by her partner, Lee, who
then jumps to conclusions completely.
Strictly AAU-second season-
a few days before Christmas.
PART I
Amanda was getting tired as she
rushed to complete her last minute Christmas gift shopping.
She finally had taken care of
Phillip and Jamie’s stocking fillers.
The Game Boys and Matchbox
cars were purchased along with a
few little surprises thrown in. Aunt
Lillian and Dotty were well
taken care of with an overabundance
of jewelry and perfume set aside for them.
A miniature Corvette key chain in
sterling silver for Lee was an item she couldn’t resist, and also
she bought leather driving gloves
for him. She knew they needed replacing
badly, and he would
never think to get a new pair on
his own.
Lee was an enigma to her. Just when she thought things were
progressing a little in their friendship,
he became irritated and aloof with
her. Then he countered abruptly and
turned on the charm. Amanda
was confused and edgy as a
result. She wished in her heart that he
would love her as much as she loved
him. Lately, her dreams had become very intense and erotic, sometimes
resulting in her waking up in a cold sweat.
Her mind came back to reality as
she approached a lingerie specialty shop.
In the front window was the most gorgeous red teddy she had ever seen,
with a white fur trim. Amanda just
stared, mesmerized.
She had to have it for
herself. The store was only open fifteen
minutes longer. She hurried inside to
try
it on.
Across the mall, Lee was concluding
a courier drop apprehension, and spotted his partner rushing into the
lingerie shop. He quickly ran over to the window out of
curiosity. He had caught her staring at
a red object
a few seconds before.
When he saw the article of
concentration in the window, he turned to see Amanda take the outfit into
the dressing room. Lee waited. Amanda purchased the red Santa teddy, and
proceeded to exit the store.
Lee quickly moved under the
protection of a side alcove where Amanda couldn’t see him.
‘Who would she buy such an outfit
for?’ he asked himself. His anger and
jealousy grew quickly to think
that she could possibly be sleeping
with someone else, especially when he knew how lovely she would
look.
Wait a minute, what did he mean
“someone else”. That statement meant he wanted no one else but himself
to be her bed partner.
‘Whoa, Stetson,’ he thought. ‘What do I care if she is sleeping with
another man. She’s my partner, that’s all,’ he tried to convince himself.
Amanda hurriedly placed the teddy
in the side compartment of her overnight bag, so that even her mother
would not find her Christmas gift
to herself. She shook her head
wondering why she ever bought the
daring outfit. She certainly did not anticipate making use
of the item. Lee was the only man she
loved,
and to wear the teddy for him would
be a dream come true.
‘What’s the use,’ she thought.
‘He’ll never feel the same way I do.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20th,
BULLPEN
Lee was deeply immersed in
paperwork, but keenly aware of Amanda’s presence as she arrived for work. He usually greeted her with a big smile, the
one reserved only for her. As he looked
up at her today, he
couldn’t manage a smile at all, only
disappointment and sadness.
Amanda looked across at him and
mouthed silently, “what’s wrong?” quite concerned.
Lee just shook his head in response
and returned to the task at hand with a very familiar dejected face.
Billy called from his office, “Scarecrow,
Amanda, I need to see you both right now, please.”
“What’s up, Billy?” asked a curious
Lee.
“Lee and Amanda, I’m afraid I have
a week-end assignment for you both of the utmost importance. It
should last from Friday to Sunday.”
Billy’s tone was quite serious.
“But sir,” Amanda interrupted. “Christmas is next Tuesday. Will we be home by then?”
“If all goes well, you should be
home in plenty of time, Amanda.”
Billy continued, “You will be
paired as husband and wife again, Mr. and Mrs. Sterling this time. The
location is a Blue Ridge ski resort
called Sunset Ridge Lodge. A courier exchange will be attempted
by Eli Bastovich,. He is a very experienced ex-KGB agent who
works both the American or Russian
side, whichever will give him the
largest purse. In this case, the
Russians are the winners.
He has vital information on
configurations for the ignition system for some ICBM missiles. Once in
their possession, the missiles can
be launched against the United States or other countries. He has to
be stopped. The data is stored in one computer
disc. Eli has a weakness for women,
brunettes in particular.
This is where Amanda comes
in.” Billy stopped for a moment to
catch his breath.
“She will come on to him and
distract him, after we are sure the merchandise is on his person, and before
the exchange. Timing is very important here. Lee, you will cause a stir with a pretense
of anger and
jealousy (shouldn’t be hard for
Scarecrow). This should give us time to apprehend Eli and secure the disc.
All of these actions should go down
Saturday night in the dance hall and restaurant. You both should be
home by Sunday, the 23rd,
if nothing goes wrong.”
“When do we leave, Billy?” Lee
asked.
“Tomorrow afternoon. You can drive
up. We have a Cherokee jeep for you to
pick up, Lee, since the car
handles well on mountain roads.”
“Sir, my family is staying in Maine
at a relative’s house, so I’ll see if I can fly up from Sunset Ridge,
on the assumption that I can get a
flight.”
“That’s fine, Amanda. Now, you two work the details out for
yourselves. If there should be any
problems
at the lodge, agents Evan Picone
and Steve McDonald will back you up, Lee,” promised his boss.
“Well, that’s all children. Sorry again, about the late timing, but you
realize the importance here.”
“Yes sir,” both agents voiced in
unison. This time though, Lee did not
smile.
“I’ll see you outside in a minute,
Amanda. I need to talk to Billy about
details.” Lee was gruff with her.
Amanda walked back to the Bullpen
wondering what she did to get herself out of Lee’s graces again.
PART II
Toward the end of the day, Lee
approached his partner’s desk and mentioned that he would pick her up
around one or two p.m.
tomorrow. Then he just offered a polite
but short “Good night.”
Amanda wasn’t surprised at his curt
exit. She had been there before. Still, the familiar tension caused a
sleepless night for her.
The same situation occurred with
Scarecrow. He tossed and turned, having
fitful dreams of Amanda and
he being attacked by a red teddy
bear in a Santa suit. He woke up in a
cold sweat. He loved her, and he
wanted her for himself, only him,
and no one else. How long could he go
on like this? How was he going
to survive the next few days being
so close to her.
Amanda packed enough clothing to
fit the required scenario she would perform at Sunset Ridge, and her trip to
Aunt Lillian’s.
Lee arrived at 4247 Maplewood
around one o’clock p.m. the next day. He looked bone weary tired and wasn’t in
the best of moods. He mentioned that
they would need to rehearse her scene with Eli to be sure it was effective.
“When would we be accomplishing
that feat, may I ask?” Amanda queried.
“Tonight, after dinner, in our
room,” director Stetson related.
“Very well, Mr. Stetson,” she
snapped.
“When do we leave for Sunset
Ridge?” she demanded.
“Right after lunch,” he replied
testily.
“Do we eat here or go out, sir?”
she asked heatedly.
“We’ll eat here, if you don’t mind,
Mrs. King.” Lee ranted, his voice rising.
“Not at all, Mr. Stetson, what
would you like?” the Cafe King proprietress shouted.
“Grilled cheese sandwiches and soup
for two,” Lee gruffly threw back.
“Will that be all, sir?” she spat
at him.
“For now,” Scarecrow answered,
getting angrier all the time.
‘She really rings my chimes,’ he
thought with clenched fists. ‘We can’t continue like this. I’ll have
to fake a truce for a while.’
Lee proceeded to the kitchen where
Amanda was banging pots and pans.
He took a deep breath, grabbed both
her hands, and mouthed “truce?”
She let out a long sigh, and nodded
affirmatively.
“Come to the couch for a minute,
please,” Lee prodded quietly.
“Well, what is it?” she stated
impatiently, before they sat down. “I’m
busy making lunches.’
Lee couldn’t take it anymore. He
pulled her to him roughly, wrapped his arms around her waist, getting
as close to her as possible, and
raggedly voiced, “Please, let’s not fight anymore. We will be together
for the next few days, so cease and
desist, Amanda. We need to be of one
accord. This mission is very
important.”
She pulled away a bit and
reluctantly agreed, on one condition.
“What’s that?” questioned her
partner.
“You will tell me what is bothering
you when this case is over, immediately.”
That was her offer. He had
to promise.
“All right, I promise,” he
hesitantly agreed. He tried to smile, a
lopsided one, at that. She caught it,
and
placed a kiss on his cheek.
Lee momentarily lost control and
kissed Amanda hard and deeply. She
reacted eagerly, placing her arms
around his neck.
Scarecrow was overwhelmed for a
minute but quickly wanted more.
“Amanda,” he rasped, “Oh God, Amanda,” he crushed her to him plundering
her mouth, seeking permission to enter.
Amanda’s emotions were on
overdrive. She immediately opened for him, and their tongues, played,
flirted, and danced like fire, the
heat rising within them more and more.
They got lost in each other, the
emotions that had been held back for so long getting ready to explode.
Lee was losing his composure. His breathing was heavy as he continued to
kiss her to oblivion.
‘If I don’t stop, I’ll lose it,’ he
thought. ‘But, oh God, I want her so badly.
I don’t think I’ll make it, but
I’ve got to.’
His mind came back to the
assignment ahead. He tried to retrieve
the smallest iota of sanity and stopped
abruptly.
Amanda missed him at once. ‘Why did he stop?’
“I---I---I’m sorry, Amanda,” he
stumbled and slowly pulled away. “Until
this is over, we can’t behave like that.”
It was all she could do to stop
shaking, but she stiffened and replied. “Anything for the cause, Scarecrow.”
He reminded her, “Truce, Amanda,
remember the truce.”
“All right,” she spoke irritably.
“All right.”
PART III
Their suite at Sunset Ridge Lodge
was large and spacious. A side bedroom had been provided not quite
as large. There was a common door
between the rooms.
Lee smiled, fresh from a shower,
and offered her a seat.
“I’ll be right back,” he
promised.
Amanda shivered a little, and not
from the cold.
‘No man has a right to look that
good in a towel,’ she thought. ‘I need
him so badly, and I want him so
much, I ache. I love him so,’ her thoughts rode high, her
eyes grew misty, almost giving her away.
“Are you cold?” asked Lee as he saw
her shaking.
“No, I’m all right,” she replied.
“What are the specifics for
tomorrow night?” She was ready to get
started, and avoid the subject at hand.
“Well, you’ll pass by Eli and brush
up against him in a very seductive style and dress. Then you will
offer an apology, and try to make
amends. He should invite you for a
drink or something. I’ll come in,
very angry, that you are throwing
yourself at this Lothario. I’ll
physically nudge him. That’s when we
make the arrest. Case over.”
“It all sounds too easy, Lee. There are always complications,” she
interjected.
“ Don’t look for them, Amanda. The faster this is over, the faster we get
home,” he reminded her.
“O.k. then. I’ll see you in the morning. Are we having breakfast, as usual, like a
married couple?”
“Yes dear,” he teased.
“Good night, Scarecrow,” she
whispered. ‘I love you,’ she added with
her thoughts. She stared longingly
into his hazel eyes.
“Good night, Amanda, sweet
dreams.” ‘I want to be with you,’ he
thought.’ ‘I want to make love to you
and wake up beside you
everyday.’ He finally let go of her
hand, but kissed it first, and gazed back at her
in the same inviting way.
They both slept much better and
woke up refreshed, having dreamt about each other again, but these were
happier dreams this time.
Saturday night came quickly. Amanda was nervous but maintained her
decorum.
Lee complimented her. “Hey, you look beautiful. You’ll do great,” he comforted.
The scene was set. Eli had the disc and was ready to hand it
over to the Russian courier for a cool two
million dollars.
Amanda bumped into him, radiating
warmth and everything else. Eli was not
only distracted, but onto her.
Before Lee could interact, Eli
grabbed Amanda and warned Stetson to stay away or the girl would get
killed. He very carefully exited the
ballroom dragging his quarry with a knife at her throat. Eli headed
in the direction of his room as a
desperate measure. If he was going
down, so was she, at his bidding.
“Now, my dear. I believe we shall become better
acquainted,” he oozed charm. The
elevator stopped at
the fifth floor. Bastovich pulled her into his lair.
Amanda thought ‘I either act now,
or get raped.’ She kicked the knife out
of his hand, and hit him in the
balls, knocking him to the floor.
The next sound was Lee, who knocked
down the door. He finished Eli off, and
retrieved the computer disc.
Agents Picone and McDonald took
Bastovich into custody.
“Nice work, Scarecrow and Mrs.
King,” chanted both agents.
Lee hurried to Amanda and wrapped
his arms around his partner.
“Are you o.k.?” he inquired. She
was shaken and clung to him.
“Well, I guess we can go home
tomorrow as planned.” The disappointment was obvious in his tone.
“I’m glad there weren’t that many
complications, Amanda. You could have
gotten hurt,” he confided.
“You promised to tell me what is
bothering you, Stetson, remember?” she pointed out.
“Tomorrow, Amanda. I’m too tired tonight.”
“All right, but first thing in the
morning, you promise?”
“Yes, o.k., anything, but good
night for now.” He was exhausted.
PART IV
A Christmas wonderland awaited them
next morning. Twenty inches of snow expected minimal in the next
two days, maybe a blizzard
coming. No one was to travel anywhere
for the next three days, at least.
Lee was on the phone with Billy
when Amanda came in .
“Yeah, o.k. I’ll see you then. I’ll tell Amanda.”
Secretly he was delighted.
Amanda had overheard the
conversation. Christmas would be right
here with Lee Stetson. She phoned her
mother explaining that she would
get to Maine as soon as possible.
Dotty understood to a point, and
asked her to bring Lee as a guest, if he didn’t have other plans. Amanda
said she would think about it.
“Well, Mr. Stetson, your
promise. We have plenty of time now.”
“Sit down, Amanda, and I’ll clarify
the situation.”
Lee took both her hands.
“Last Wednesday night, I completed
light surveillance and a courier drop apprehension at the Arlington mall around
8:40 p.m. I saw you looking very intently at a bright red object in the window
of a lingerie
shop. I happened to be stationed across the way. Curiosity got the better of me, so I looked
in the window
just as you purchased the
outfit. My mind jumped to
conclusions. Who would she be wearing
that for?
It had better be no one but me, I
hoped.”
Amanda caught his eyes, and blushed
hot red.
Lee smiled at her reaction and
continued.
“I had no right to be jealous or
angry. Who you date or sleep with is
none of my business and I’m
profoundly sorry for holding my ire
against you. I’m so sorry.” Lee was very sincere and contrite.
Amanda just shook her lovely head,
and murmured. “Lee Stetson, I don’t
know what I’m going to do
with you.” She caressed his cheek and looked deeply
into his eyes.
With much relief at her
understanding, he quipped. “I know what
I wish you would do with me, Amanda
King,” and viewed her seductively.
“Let me explain something to you
Scarecrow,” Amanda sighed.
“I’m always caring bout everyone
else. I wanted something for me, to
feel good about myself, to pamper
myself. I probably won’t wear this outfit until I find my true love. He will be the one man in all this world
I love completely, unconditionally,
and will someday marry. He will return
that love without question.
Do you understand, Lee?”
Lee stood her up and placed both
hands on her shoulders.
“I understand completely, Amanda.”
He sighed deeply. “Wear the teddy for
me, please,” he asked hoarsely, misty-eyed, “because I love you with all my
heart, and always will. I want to make
love to
you more than anything.” Lee had bared his heart and soul to her.
Amanda couldn’t get her voice to
work, she couldn’t break eye contact.
Her lovely eyes began to tear up, her body to tremble.
Lee became concerned. “What’s wrong, Amanda, please tell me?”
She finally found her voice. “I’ve loved you for so long, Scarecrow,
completely. I can’t believe I’m
hearing those words from you.”
He took her in his arms and held
her tightly. He whispered n her ear, “Believe it, Amanda, I’ll love you
forever.”
He pulled away slightly.
“But, if you’re not ready for this,
I’ll understand. I respect you, and
will wait as long as you say. The
only Christmas gift I want is
you.” He struggled to get the words
out, because of his emotions. He
couldn’t speak anymore, and he
broke eye contact momentarily because he was tearing up.
Amanda tucked a finger under his
chin, tilted his face up to look at her, kissed his tears away, and said
she would be right back.
She disengaged the teddy from its
home eagerly. Taking an approving glance at herself in the mirror,
she then opened the common door to
the larger suite.
Lee stood gazing at the winter
wonderland and heard the door click. He automatically turned toward the
sound. He was not prepared for the spectacular sight that greeted him.
The teddy looked like she was made
for it. The white fur trim graced her
shoulders. Her breasts were firm,
The nipples taut beneath the fiery
red negligee, and the bikini panties fit snugly at her hips, revealing her
sexy, long legs.
Lee felt his body start to heat up
immediately. He pulled the drapes so
that only his eyes could feast upon her.
Amanda walked over to him. He placed his arms around her waist and
pulled her close to him.
“God, you are so beautiful,” he
whispered in her ear. “Are you sure you are ready for this?” he asked.
“Oh, yeah,” she replied. “I’ve wanted this a long time. Make love to me, Lee.”
“Yes, ma’am,” he said joyfully.
He picked her up in his arms, and
carried her to the large bed. He placed
her at the edge.
She smiled and began to slowly undo
each button on his pajama top and kiss his bare chest after each
opening.
Amanda slipped his pants down and
grazed her fingers against his manhood.
Lee shivered slightly and
smiled, that devastating grin only
meant for her. He looked deep into her
beautiful eyes and lifted the
camisole top of the teddy over her
head and let it drop to the floor.
His eyes turned dark with passion
as he pulled her close to him, their bodies touching for the first time skin
to skin. A deep moan escaped from
them both.
Lee kissed her passionately, biting
her lower lip, asking permission to enter.
He searched the warm caverns
of her mouth with his tongue. Her tongue found his and they flirted,
caressed and danced as the intensity of the kiss increased.
Amanda finally broke the ecstasy
and began to place tiny, warm kisses along Lee’s jaw and down his neck.
He tilted his head to give her
better access.
Lee’s hands roamed down her back,
and back to her breasts. He cupped both
breasts with his large hands.
He couldn’t wait to taste them.
Amanda’s knees shook so Lee lifted
her up onto the middle of the bed. He
lay partially on top of her.
He continued his adventure with her
firm breasts. He tweaked the nipple of
one breast to bring it to
attention. He suckled and nursed at
the nubbin of the other until he heard a deep moan of pleasure
from his beloved. He then lavished his attention to the other
breast. Amanda was mindless with
pleasure.
Lee worked his way down to her
stomach and abdomen, kissing every part of her. His body tingled in
anticipation. No woman had ever evoked such deep feelings
from within him, and he thought he would
burst right there.
When he reached the top of her
inner thighs with his hot, intense kisses, Amanda opened immediately for him,
struggling to stop shaking.
She slid her hand along his shaft
promoting the excitement in him to become almost explosive. He removed
her fingers from his organ lest the
adventure be over before it got started.
He held her hips lovingly, and
could tell she was reaching her
peak. He inserted a long finger up
inside her, finding her pleasure spot.
He placed another finger up into
her warm, wet core. She was more than
ready.
“Lee, please,” she pleaded.
He understood. He knelt over her and she parted for
him. He placed the tip of his pulsating
manhood
inside her. She gasped with delight.
He plunged into her warmth slowly
and extracted. Again, he plunged
deeper. They found their rhythm
and began to rock against each
other. Amanda had locked her legs over
his hips, and now gripped his
buttocks urging him deeper inside
him. Amanda was ecstatic.
Lee plunged in and out until
finally her muscles contracted around his member and both reached their
climaxes together as he emptied himself deep inside her.
They rode the waves together, never
having experienced before the intensity and raw pleasure their union
entailed. Never had either known the deep, fulfilling love that comes for
two people who have shared
heaven.
“I’m crazy about you, Scarecrow,”
Amanda managed as she cuddled closely to him.
“I love you so much,
Lee.”
“Why did we wait so long for heaven
to be with us, for I am surely there with you in my arms now. I love
you too, deeply, passionately,
forever, Amanda King,” he choked out.
“Oh, Lee, that’s beautiful,”
whispered Amanda, tears now flowing freely from her eyes.
“Don’t cry, baby, don’t cry.” He kissed her tears away.
He kissed her lovingly. “This is the best Christmas I’ve ever
had. You’re with me.”
“Merry Christmas, Lee,” she yawned.
“Merry Christmas, baby,” he kissed
her cheek.
The covers enveloped the sleeping
lovers as we fade out on an extraordinarily, happy holiday for one loving
couple.
The End.
