Devastating Secret™

Naughty or Nice

"I'm not in the mood. Especially since we're not gonna have actual sex." Eva countered walking out.

Noah followed her out as he argued "I told you why we can't!"

Eva didn't bother to argue. Tomorrow was election night. Then two months until they were free. She could curse Noah without the Secret Service so near at hand then.

"EVA!" Noah said, grabbing her hand and stopping her. "I'm doing this for you."

"No, you're doing this to assuage your guilt!" Eva replied pulling away, but he held fast, and she got angry blurting out. "So, you left a few bruises. I was sore. Get over it!"

The agents surrounding them ears grew hot and all of them stepped back in a synchronized unit.

Noah hid his red face as he whispered his reply "I can't just forget what happened. I – I think we should be careful..."

"You're being too fucking careful!" Eva cursed in Italian. "Let go of my arm, you're hurting me." He let go immediately and she said. "See you left a mark, maybe you shouldn't ever touch me."

"Maybe I shouldn't." Noah agreed, staring at her arm, not understanding.

"No stupid!" Eva corrected "I was being sarcastic! I get marks if you hold too tight. It's not a big deal! You know I'm tougher than that!" To prove it she punched the wall next to him.

Noah heard the impact and winced as he cursed, "What the fuck are you doing?"

"Showing the imbecile, I married what I can take." She pulled back her fist to do it again and Noah snatched her hand mid-swing and brought her bruised fist to his lips.

"Please don't do that!" Noah begged as he kissed her bruised knuckles. "We'll put some ice on it..."

"You're babying me!"

"I shouldn't?"

"NO!" Eva replied, pulling her hand away. "Stop it!"

"I don't understand why I should," Noah responded puzzled. "I want to keep you safe..."

"Even if it is from you?" Eva whispered.

"Yes," Noah admitted, "I remember those months Eva. I'm not about to turn into Richard or An...any other asshole who felt he had a right to your body. And I am certainly not about to abuse the rights you have given me." He took hold of her hands and kissed them both saying, "I love you too much to use you like that. I will cherish the gift I have been given." Then looked up to see Eva giving him that look that made him say, "Oh Fuck!"

"Dios Mio!" Eva cried before tackling him.

"I've got to remember those lines," Hector smirked as Eva mauled Noah.

She had him braced against the wall and was kissing the breath from his body. When she finally released him, the words she spoke made his ears burn and Noah was pleased she spoke them in Italian, but when he looked at Granger and Sam he saw their ears red. It seems they were learning the language.

She then turned and headed to the bedroom leaving no room for him to argue. Wasn't she listening to the part where he didn't want to hurt her? No. All Eva cared about currently was getting him in bed and disappointing her would lead to another argument.

He stood there for a moment still debating how he was going to get out of this when she turned and crooked her finger with a dimpled smile. He was a monster, what was she thinking? He was beginning to sweat, and her smile faded.

"There you are!"

"Eric!" Noah exclaimed, never so happy to see the man in his life. Eva on the other hand frowned and her eyes narrowed. Noah turned so Eric's back went to Eva as they spoke. "What brings you here?"
