Abbey sat at the small dining room table drumming her fingernails against the wood with impatience. The candles were lit, the music romantic, and she wore a brand new sexy Vera Wang number. The food was all Jeds favorites. So where was the jackass. She had told him dinner at 7:00 and it was now 7:45. Where was he? Oh, she knew exactly where he was. In the oval office working, but she would not give him the satisfaction of calling to remind him. It was his damn birthday and if he couldn't remember that she had planned a special dinner for just the two of them then screw him. Oh, she knew they would be having a huge party this weekend to celebrate. But those parties were always part politics and full of people she either didn't know, or didn't know very well. This was supposed to be just the two of them.

Oh hell Abbey, she thought, just throw it all away, put on your flannel nightgown and go to bed. But, part of her rebelled against that. She was angry. Angry she had gone to this much effort for nothing and angry because her body had been anticipating Jeds response to her preparations all day long. She thought about him while she took a long bubble bath. She thought about Jeds hands running over her skin as she applied body lotion knowing what a heated response they would elicit. She thought about the look in his eyes when he would see the sexy silk undergarments she was putting on. She thought about him as she slipped the sleek, slim fitting black dress over her head and smoothed on the sheer hose she attached to garters. Between the two of them going on different trips it had been three weeks since they had made love and she had planned to knock his socks off.

No dammit she thought, I am not going to let him get away with this. Josiah Bartlet is going to see exactly what he missed out on tonight. And with that thought Abbey began planning an evil plot to leave her husband as frustrated as she was.

Jed was looking over his new budget when he heard the knock on the door.

"Come in" he called out absently, but did not look up from his papers. He heard someone clear their throat. He was clearly irritated with the interruption. "Well what is it...." He looked up over his glasses at that moment and dropped the paper he was reading. His wife stood in the room in a knee length form fitting black dress that accented her slender curves to perfection. Her hair was loose and curly and she wore 2 inch spiked heels. My God does she have great legs was Jeds first thought. Then he lost all train of thought when she turned as if to look at one of the pictures on the wall and he was confronted by the creamy expance of his wifes slender back. The damn dress didn't have a back at all and she wasn't wearing a bra. His mouth went dry. "Abbey?" he asked

"Where are you supposed to be right now Josiah?" she purred moving closer to his desk.

"I...I....Oh shit!", he exclaimed. "We were supposed to have dinner together. I'm sorry. I just got so caught up in this budget."

"Well" she said standing in front of him now. "I had your favorite yankee pot roast for supper, and Sinatra on the CD player, and I bought that little red number you picked out in Victorias Secret". Jeds body began to throb with anticipation. Abbey was leaning down now so that he could smell her perfume. Her face was inches from his. "I had a really sexy night planned" her lips touched his oh so lightly " but now you can just GO TO HELL" she took his water and dumped it on his lap.

"Abbey!" he yelped,jumping up. "I didn't deserve that"

"You sure as hell did" she retorted. "Do you know how much time I put into planning tonight. Hell I came home two days early to be here."

"I know. What can I say? I'm sorry. But the evening doesn't have to be over. We can.."

"Oh it's definately over Jed. You see, I'm no longer in the mood" she haughtily left the oval office with a good slam of the door and Jeds anger got the better of him. He sped out after her, the secret service in hot pursuit. He could see some of the senior staff come out of the office to see what the ruckus was about

"Abigail Bartlet don't you dare turn your back on me."

"I'm not one of your staff Jed. You can't order me around. Now I'm sorry you are all hot and bothered but..."

"Abigail!" he shut her up the only way he had at the moment by grabbing her arm and pulling her into the elevator the domestic staff used. He began punching buttons frantically to keep the secret service from getting on. This was between he and Abbey. The doors closed right in a pissed off Rons face.

"Let go of me you brute" she said pulling her arm away from him. "Just what do you think you are doing?". At that moment the elevator lurched, groaned and stopped.

"Oh shit" Jed said. "I think I jammed it up when I punched all the buttons."

"Jackass" she muttered. At that moment the emergency phone rang and Jed picked it up.

"That was Ron" he said to Abbey after hanging up. The elevator is stuck between floors and they have to get the maintenence guy to fix it. We may be here for a little while."

"I cannot believe that you did that. What the hell were you thinking?"

"I was trying to keep you from letting my whole staff and the secret service know that you came into my office, gave me one hell of a hard on and left." Abbey was standing against the back of the wall her arms crossed over her chest. Jed approached her placing his palms on the wall on each side of her shoulders so that his face was inches from hers, blue eyes warring with hazel."You have been playing with fire tonight sweet knees and I think you are about to be burned."

"Don't even think of it jackass. We are NOT going to have some quickie in the elevator" she said disdainfully.

"You don't think so?" he asked and reached out a hand to run his finger from her chin down her neck and chest into the valley between her breasts.

"No I don't" she said. But her voice was softer now and shaky. His whole hand moved into the dress to cup her warm breast just as his lips captured hers taking her protest into his mouth. His fingers found her nipple and he began to run his thumb over and around it feeling it harden.."Jed we can't do this. Not here," she sighed as his lips moved over her jaw to began to nuzzle her earlobe. It wasn't fair. He knew her body too well. Knew how to make her give in.

"I think we are doing it right here" he responded. While one hand teased her breast and his lips tormented her neck, Jed slid the zipper down on the skirt of her two piece dress. He slipped his hand inside and to the front. Abbey gasped as his fingers found her warmth and she fell against him limply. He knew her protests were over. He knew just what this did to her.

"Still don't want a quickie in the elevator?" he asked smugly.

"You really are a bastard" she breathed biting her lower lip against the moan he elicted as he slid a finger inside her. She began to tear at the buttons on his shirt needing the contact of his skin. Nothing turned her on more than the feeling of Jeds chest hair against her skin. Finally the shirt was open and she wrapped her arms around his waist raining kisses over his chest. She felt his nipples grow pebble hard against her tongue. She began to unbuckle his belt and slipped her hand inside his pants to stoke him. Her legs turned to jelly as she found him hard and ready. She continued to stroke, running her thumb over the tip of his penis until she felt the wetness. Jed groaned and suddenly he no longer had the upper hand. They were equal in their need for each other.

"Tell me you want me" he breathed

"Jed I...." he began to move his fingers faster and then stopped completely. "Jed' she whimpered needing the friction. "Oh OK," she gasped I want you. Now don't stop."

"I couldn't stop if I wanted to sweet knees" he groaned.

Jed began to slide the tight skirt down over Abbeys hips and legs, then followed with her panties. She had soon made short order of his pants and boxers. Then, they were half naked on the floor of the elevator. Abbey was straddled over Jeds legs her hands on his shoulders as she lowered herself onto him. She stayed sitting for a moment relishing the feel of Jed inside her to his hilt. Filling her completely. But, Jed couldn't stand this position for long.

"Shit Abbey, I gotta move" he placed his hands on her hips and lifted her then allowed her to fall back down.Abbey kept her hands braced on his shoulders as she slowly moved up and down her eyes locked with his. She loved to watch Jeds eyes turn from the brittle blue of unfufilled to desire to a satiated soft green.

"Jed she sighed. We gotta do this faster. What if they fix the elevator." The fear of discovery actually added an exciting edge to their lovemaking and Jed rolled Abbey over onto her back. Her legs immediatly wrapped around his waist allowing for deeper penetration and Jed began to thrust hard and fierce. Abbey could feel the muscles bunching in his shoulders as he moved within her. She gripped onto his butt trying to pull him deeper inside her. To make him part of her. She was crying out his name now over and over and Jed knew that she was close. He moved his hand back between them and began to stroke again. Her fingernails were digging into his back now. Hard.

"Jed..Jed..JOS..IAH!!"Abbey cried out as her legs tightened around him,her back arched, and her internal muscles clamped down on him. That was all it took to send Jed over the edge. His moaning of her name became more urgent until with a loud "ABI...GAIL!!" he came.

Jed fell on top of her body while both of them gasped for air.

"Well this will be a birthday I won't soon forget" Jed chuckled against her hair.

"Jackass" Abbey said with a smile her fingers still running soothingly through his thick hair and over his back. They were brought out of the afterglow by the ringing of the phone. It was Ron again. He could hear the President was out of breath.

"Is anything wrong Mr.President?"

"No Jed said."You know I'm claustrophobic. I'm hyperventilatiing" he grinned at Abbey who stood there in her garter belt and hose attempting to put her skirt back on.

"Yes sir. I just wanted to tell you they are just finishing up and you and Mrs.Bartlet should be free soon."

"Shit"Jed exclaimed."I mean great..thanks". He hung up the phone.

"Get moving babe" he said slapping Abbey on the ass. "These doors will be opening any minute."

"Oh God" Abbey exclaimed. "Look at us. Everyones going to know we've been screwing around."

"No they won't. Lets just hurry up." They dressed as quickly as possible just finishing as the elevator began to move. Just as they reached the first floor Abbey noticed her panties by Jeds feet.

"Jed my underwear" she gasped. Jed grabbed the panties and stuck them in his pocket just as the doors opened. The secret service and the senior staff were standing waiting to make sure they were OK. They all noticed right away that this certainly was not the angry couple that entered the elevator. Leo was smirking at them.

"Well uh.. thank you for your concern but as you can see Abbey and I are fine."Jed said, "we're going back to the residence for dinner now." With that the two walked away hand in hand.

"How did the Presidents shirt get buttoned up all wrong?"CJ asked with a smile. "I know it wasn't like that when I saw him an hour ago."

"And was that a hickey I saw on the First Ladys neck?" Josh asked with a raised eyebrow.

"What I want to know is why Mrs.Bartlets underwear was sticking out of the Presidents pocket as he walked away?" Sam grinned.

"I wonder just what did go on in between floors" Toby deapanned and they all burst into laughter.

The End
