Andy hadn't needed to tell Terry what had happened because he'd been on duty when the bomb had gone off. He'd been supposed to be her date for the Commissioner's Gala but that had been cancelled so they'd agreed to meet for dinner after shift. That plan looked like it was about to be scrapped too considering she was now being checked out in the back of an ambulance after Sam had pulled her out of the rubble of the evidence room. Andy didn't know how Terry would take this but she'd asked someone to find him for her.

"Was that a really bad pun? Oh my God, I think that was." Andy playfully gave him a light swat on the ass for that one, sometimes his jokes were corny but she found that kind of charming. He could certainly be tough on the job so it was nice to see him sort of fumble sometimes. She leaned up and kissed him again, her voice a little breathless when she spoke next. "Besides, you and I both know we've had sex on the brain all day,' she teased. "It's not like us to keep our clothes on this long."

His jokes were awful and it had little to do with their age difference. Terry was usually about dry humor, a cynic. He purposely made bad jokes at times because of the reaction Andy gave him. However, she also had a knack for making him feel wonder... He wondered what she saw in him but usually didn't think on that long, not wanting to rock the boat. Whatever it was, he was grateful.

She complimented his looks but he didn't see what Andy did. Sure, he kept himself in decent shape physically but she could find better at any gym. If they ever talked about it, the two would realize they shared a similar attraction. He liked her confidence and how she wasn't full of herself or high maintenance. "Speak for yourself," he huskily returned at her lips.

"I will gladly fuck you with clothes on." Maybe not exactly a pun this time. Andy might not have even considered it a bad joke. He hungrily kissed her and lowered her to the middle of the bed, crawling on the mattress with her body. His legs moved between hers and spread hers open as they finally found the center of the large bed.

Nope, she definitely didn't see that as a joke. In fact, she wouldn't put it past him for that to actually happen one of these days. Their relationship had been slow to start but once it did it was like something had exploded. They had a very hard time keeping their hands off each other for too long, and she knew the week waiting for her to recuperate had probably been hard for him. Andy wanted to make it up to him, even though she knew Terry would say she didn't have to.

She'd missed his touch, though, and her hands were eagerly roaming his body as they kissed. She was trusting him to lead, to tell her what he wanted, and she was just happy to be there and not have to worry about anything else but him for a while.

[t_english]

Her skin felt like silk after the spa treatment. Not that Andy ever felt rough to the touch intimately before. She was damn near flawless as far as Terry was concerned. The spa treatment only enhanced her natural beauty. Hopefully she felt as good as her body felt to him. He hadn't really said it in words but her close call had gotten to him. A part of him nagged that the scare was good reason not to get attached to anyone. Fortunately for the two, a stronger part knew he couldn't remain alone for the rest of his life.

For the time being, he showed her with his touch and affection. Tasting her skin had some of the oils still lingering so he saved his tongue for just her nipples other than deep kisses. His hands slid up the outside of her thighs before lowering down and resting on his forearms above her body. He rocked his hips until his cock fell into place between her legs. Before pushing in, he lifted his face just enough to stare at hers.

[nolongerarookie]

"I can see that smug smile on your face, Terry." Andy smiled down at him, back arching a little as he pushed into her. He was never shy about letting her know - even if he didn't say it - how proud he was of being with her and she liked that. Her ego could bruise easily so the reassurance of being wanted, even if it was just a touch or a look, was always welcome. She only wished they had more days like these in their lives, and less the ones where she almost blew up.

[t_english]

He only chuckled at her words, in that deep pitch of his. Terry couldn't help touching Andy in some manner or another since they had crossed the line. It was becoming more prevalent at work though he hadn't heard their names circle in the rumor mill. If anything, there had been a mention or two of her with one of her previous exes. Andy had a way of reassuring him that never made him question her over anything he heard. He relished the time now and showed it in the slow pace of his thrusts.

[nolongerarookie]

She actually found it romantic. Terry wasn't one to talk about his feelings too often, but it was moments like this where he showed how much he really did care for her. She knew it in how he handled her rather than any big, grand speech he could give. Which was what made her smile and lean her head to nuzzle his neck tenderly, planting a line of kisses across his shoulder, as if to say she understood what he never needed to say to her.

Hopefully, he knew she loved him, too. Though she was nervous about saying it and coming on too strong. She always worried about that.

[t_english]

He wasn't much for words even before losing his wife. Terry fumbled in simple conversations that ones which surrounded emotions were damn near indecipherable--sometimes, even to himself.

Andy was patient, sweet and caring in addition to everything that physically attracted him. He didn't know if her feelings were more than enjoying his company. She had been tender since before they crossed the line.

Terry treated her accordingly. He did his best not to miss an opportunity to spend time with her when work permitted. Going slow and close in bed at the moment was all love-making, contrast to the lust driven trysts they often had.

She wasn't alone with worrying about saying the wrong thing. It almost seemed best not to say anything at all. His body rolled snakelike over hers with each thrust, grinding at her clit on every descent. "You feel so good, Baby. Finish for me."

[nolongerarookie]

Andy's only response was a little nod and a whimper; she liked the encouragement, and she couldn't much get the words out even if she'd wanted to. She was biting her lip as the orgasm built inside her, before finally letting her head fall back as it hit. It was nice and easy, not one of those earth shattering things that would leave her clinging to him. She would be fine in a few minutes.

"God, I lo..." she started to say impulsively, then swallowed the rest of the word before it could get out.

[t_english]

His eyes followed Andy, safely assuming from experience that she climaxed. Terry had to focus during additional thrusts to join her. He didn't want to get carried away and possibly hurt her. He finished much in the same gusto, laying contently still inside her.

"Love doing that too," he responded with an inaccurate assessment of what Andy had almost said. Terry offered her a smile, keeping close.

[nolongerarookie]

Andy thought about correcting him but then decided it wasn't worth it. What if he didn't feel the same way and then their nice vacation turned awkward? She just went with, "Yeah," and a small smile, and allowed herself to relax back into the bed. "So, um, what else is there to do here?" she asked while they recovered.

[t_english]

His brow shot up at her question though his smile hadn't completely left him. "Not sure. I thought you wanted to relax in a suite with champagne and a hot tub. Only got as far as the spa package. Concierge probably can give you the low down."

He peeled away before mentioning the spa package. Terry kept a casual disposition, shrugging after telling her about the concierge. He picked up his boxer briefs and slipped them on quickly then headed to the food cart in the room.

[nolongerarookie]

Andy sighed. "Why do you always do that?" she asked. "Act like the simplest thing I ask either confuses or annoys the hell out of you." She let her head hit the pillows again with a thud and just eyed the ceiling. She hadn't seen what was so wrong about asking. It was a big place, it seemed, and obviously expensive and she was curious.

[t_english]

His immediate response was simply a furrow of his brow. Terry didn't deal well with 'always' or 'never' conversations. He had no idea what had gotten into her. It seemed like the more he gave, the less she appreciated.

Having a falling out after sex was also a blow to his ego. A job well done wouldn't have had her reaction. Terry didn't stare long but looked to the food and started to nibble on it as if digesting his thoughts.

"Guess I'm just a dumb asshole," he finally replied with a shrug after a bite.

[nolongerarookie]

"Don't do that. You get like this weird passive-aggressive streak." Andy still hadn't stopped staring at the ceiling. "It's not a huge deal. We're here, I just was curious what else is here. We've got a couple of days and I'm not going to expect you to screw me the whole time," she quipped.

[t_english]

"Concierge," he repeated low, nearly a growl at his pitch of voice. His tone was annoyed, matching the aggravation on his face. Terry didn't look toward Andy. He was biting his tongue from saying something that he wouldn't be able to take back.

She wouldn't have to worry about screwing for days. It was obvious that he was the one screwed. He continued to eat, weathering the calm before a storm.

[nolongerarookie]

Andy just stared at the back of his head for a moment. She had no idea why an innocent question had gotten him so confused, and now angry at her for wondering why he was confused by it. The tone of his voice made her blood run cold. Now she was actually scared that he might do something, and he could damn well be intimidating. She'd seen it at work.

Without saying anything else, she quietly dressed and shouldered her backpack before she walked out of the room. She didn't know if she was going to head for home - she could call Gail or anyone else to come and get her - or just wait and see if he calmed down. But she didn't feel safe in that room with him anymore, and she needed to get out.

[t_english]

She didn't pick up the phone to call. Terry wasn't sure if Andy thought going in person was a better choice. Not until she packed her bag did he realize the concierge was no longer a factor. The damage was done even while holding back.

Andy was right. He definitely had an explosive temper. One that came out when challenged or someone that he cared about was disrespected. --Never toward those he cared about. She didn't know him at all.

It would've been yet another blow to learn that Andy was afraid of him. Their ship has sailed, so it seemed. Terry didn't bother going after her. She made the decision to leave without a word after voicing all her discontent--it wasn't like she was shy about saying how she really felt.

He locked the door and headed for a shower.

[nolongerarookie]

Andy went to have a drink at the hotel bar and steady her nerves. Leaving definitely crossed her mind, but that was mixed in with guilt because she knew how much time and effort he'd put in to this weekend for her. Just walking out on that seemed wrong, even though she found herself scared of what he might do to her in this mood.

So once she'd calmed a bit, an hour or so later, she tried his phone. She didn't see it like he did, didn't think it was the end of their relationship. Andy was more inclined to think they were both just under pressure after all the work stress they'd just survived and having a bad day. But if he wanted to break up with her, well, she couldn't force him to stay.
