Something Gained

Chapter One Hundred & Fourteen

I drummed the steering wheel with my fingers as I sat in the car waiting on the guys before we headed to the track, it was already tense. Daniel and I hadn't spoken and I left our room before he was ready to get the car because I couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer.
I jumped when the doors opened and the three of them piled in, Michael sat in the seat next to me in the front.

"Coffee?" Michael smiled and handed me a drink, I thanked him and sipped it before placing it in the drinks holder. I caught Daniel's eye in the mirror as I looked back up, he sat directly behind me. I quickly put the car in gear and started driving. I liked driving, I felt more in control, currently when I felt as annoyed and irritated as I did, it was not fun.

"Sooooo.... how is Sophie feeling?" Blake asked

"Yeah how is Sophie doing? Will she back for the next race?" Daniel asked, I rolled my eyes at his stupid tone and sipped my coffee as I drove.

"She's getting there" I answered simply. That was the worst part, I had to not only hide this job thing, I had to act like I was fine in front of everyone and the cameras, and stand by Daniel's side more than usual during all media today and I didn't have the energy, I was drained.

"Hey Alex what's the plan today?" Michael asked, they could clearly sense the tension and were trying to keep it light, it was odd for them to be like this, particularly Daniel.

"Media for a couple of hours, then you've got an hour or so and then pre race stuff" I shrugged, we'd had a good weekend so far but everything was centred around Daniel and I didn't want to have to talk about him, even it was my job and he was sat right behind me. I pulled up at the track and I had never been so grateful to see it, I parked and Michael walked with Daniel as he signed things and took pictures with the fans waiting, I walked with Blake.

I headed straight through into the paddock with him, both of us avoiding cameras and people easily as normal, they didn't care about us. I headed into my office, once in the building and shut my door behind me with a huff. I sat down at the computer and put head in my hands with my elbows rested on the desk, feeling sorry for myself, I hated not being with Daniel, not speaking to him or arguing with him, it felt like I had lost the other half of me.

The door of my office swung open probably ten minutes later as I was finally going through some emails, I stood up at the sudden action before realising Daniel was in the doorway, in one swift movement he closed the door and crossed the room, I prepared for another argument as he rounded the desk and walked towards me. I didn't want to argue, it was just unnecessary but I knew I was stubborn and so was he. My reaction times were certainly not up to his level so I had no chance when he grabbed my face with his hands and backed me up against the wall.

His lips landed on mine, his hand running to the back of my neck, his front pressed against mine. I couldn't move away from him and I was overwhelmed with how hot this whole scenario was. I knew we had to get started on some media this morning, but right now that wasn't important. I matched his actions and pulled at Daniel's t shirt, as he moved to my neck, I let out a moan in his ear.

"What are you doing?" I whispered to him as he pulled at jeans, unbuttoning them. His lips kissing and biting at my neck, I didn't want him to stop but I wanted an answer, and it felt like he was just as annoyed and angry as I was. I gasped as his hand went down my jeans and started rubbing circles, his hands doing their usual magic. His brown eyes watching me, I didn't break the eye contact, until his moves became more hasty, I let my head drop and he stopped what he was doing right before I was just about to reach that point.

"Want me to stop?" Was the only words he spoke. I lifted my head up in confusion and shook it with a no,  he pulled me away from the wall and lifted me up to sit me on the desk, my desk, my trousers were pulled off and he dropped his to the floor and paused to look at me again, I knew what he was asking, all the frustration got the better of me and I wanted nothing more than to take it out on him or him take it out on me. I had fear somewhere in the back of my head that someone might walk through that door but I couldn't bring myself to focus on it.

I pulled Daniel towards me, slipping my tongue in his mouth, the sloppiest kiss I've probably ever had. He pushed into me and I moaned into his mouth, he groaned as well. He thrusted into me, quickly, I don't know if it was where we were, or the time, or the feelings between us right now, or a mixture of all three but he was moving like his life depended on it and I certainly wasn't complaining. My stationary pot dropped to the floor with a thud and we both ignored it, things were shuffling everywhere but nothing processing except the feel of him, I ran my fingers up his arms and he stretched his neck before his eyes found mine again. I was so close, I knew he was as well.

"I love you" Daniel stopped and placed his hand under my chin as he spoke, I knew he was sincere. My anger faded away and if I could melt I would of been a puddle on the floor.

"I love you" I replied, he smiled that usual smile and thrust into me a couple more times before he collapsed on top of me. Both of us breathing heavy and clingy on to each other.

"Fuck Alex" Daniel breathed in my ear. He was sweaty and that whole scenario of him storming in and pinning me against the wall replayed in my head, if I could I would go all over again because I was still thinking about everything that had just happened in the last ten minutes.

"Is that your apology?" I asked him, he lifted his head up, I was aware we were still half naked and now my mind was a little clearer, the thoughts of being caught were filling up my head slowly

"No" he said bluntly, I raised my eyebrows at him ready to say something back before he continued. "this is.....I'm sorry. You were right, I'm scared of losing you, and I understand why you were worried about saying something but I know it'll be okay, and I'm so proud of you, I'm sorry" he said, he kissed my forehead lightly and I smiled. I pushed him away gently and we both quickly pulled on the remaining clothes. I pecked him on the lips before walking round my desk to pick up the things that had fallen.

"Now why didn't I do this?" He chuckled as he pressed up against the back of me as I bent over to pick up some pens. I rolled my eyes and stood straight

"Next time you need to make up, try bending me over the desk" I said smugly before walking away from him. I didn't need to look at him to know his eyes were bulging out of his head at my comment.

"I'll bare that in mind" he whispered. "Can next time be now?" He was behind me again, brushing my hair away from my neck, kissing me there, while one hand rested on my hip, gripping it tightly

"We have to go" I mumbled, it was somewhat audible because the actions and the tone of his voice had clouded my head again.

"I'll pay the fine" he said as he sucked at my neck

"Don't be stupid" I whispered. I was stood facing the door, Daniel's hand slipped to buttoned up jeans again and unbuttoned them before slipping his hand down

"You better hope no one comes in" my head dropped back on his shoulder "because I've got a lot of making up to do" I gasped at his words, he knew the effect he had on me, and it certainly did the trick.
