Sherlocks Secret Escape

Chapter Six The Next Day

Mycroft's POV:

I woke the next morning knowing that I had cleared all my meetings for the day, so it meant I could have the day with Clara and catch up. The thing with Clara is that . . .she doesn't like to tell me when she is leaving. Sometimes in the past I would wake up and she would have gone leaving no trace of her. I never really liked it when she would just leave like that, I would be left thinking that I did something wrong and feeling heart broken. But just seeing her lying next to me just makes me happy, I only show Clara my best side with all the emotions and things.

I was lying on my back staring at Clara as she slept but, all I could think about was who shot her and why? It must have just been someone from her past. Clara slowly moved towards me and lay her hand on my bare torso, last night was amazing with Clara. It was even better because, we hadn't seen each other in so long. I couldn't help but stare at Clara, the other day we were just talking on the phone and now . . . here we are lying in bed after having such an amazing night.

"Morning Mr Government, what time is it?" I was that deep in thought, I hadn't noticed that Clara had woken up.

"Morning, the time is..." I have to reach over her to read the clock, "eleven."

"Shouldn't you be at work, organizing to stop people like me." I couldn't help but smile at her and laugh at the same time.

"I took the day off to spend the day with you, we haven't had a day together for a while so I thought that we could spend some time together." She smiles at me, what is she thinking of I know that look on her face, I've seen that look a million times before. "What are you thinking about Miss Phoenix ? I know that look." All Clara keeps on doing is smiling and smiling, what is she thinking about?

"Nothing Mr Government, just thinking about last night." Clara starts to slowly move her hands down my chest, her touch is so gentle.

"Hmm, that feels nice Miss Phoenix."

"Does it now Mr Holmes." She slowly sat up on top of me so that she was straddling me. I raised my hands and placed them on her hips, making sure that she would stay there and not move away from me.

"I miss you when you're not here. . . how long you staying for?"

"Only a couple of days." She leans down starting a trail of kisses down my jaw to my neck. "Let's give them something to talk about at the office tomorrow shall we." Before I can respond or do anything, Clara start's to bite and suck at the same spot at the top of my neck.

"You haven't. . . you have haven't you?" She doesn't respond to my question as she starts to do it again on the other side of my neck.

"Oh yes I have Mr Holmes, believe it or not." She says finally as she finishes teasing me. "Right above where your collar would be, with your nice shirt and tie. I seem to think your collar will outline it more than anything." Clara looks down into my eyes, I cannot believe she just did that. I pushed Clara off me and quickly rushed over to the mirror to look at the marks that would now last on my skin for a few days.

"You did . . . you just had to do that didn't you?" I lift my neck and looked at the marks some more, "I cannot believe you gave me a love bite, you've never done it before so why now?" Clara just lay on the bed wrapped in my sheets staring at me like I was a piece of art, she just couldn't stop staring. "You're not going to stop staring are you, unless. . ." I knew my revenge.

"What you doing?" Clara asked as I walked over to my wardrobe, putting on a pair of grey tracksuit bottoms and a matching grey vest. I just glanced at her and walked out the room.
