Self Control. Self Denial. Part 4

[MandyM15]

Harry and Ruth are alone in the back row of The Prince of Wales Cinema, it is dark, half the box of popcorn, still on Harry's lap has been eaten and the movie is about half way through…..

I don't own Kudos, BBC or Spooks

Not sure he can take the sexual tension radiating between them much longer Harry shifts the popcorn off his lap and places it on the floor. Ruth looks over with a slight smile but in the dark she cannot yet see the fruits of her labour. Their inside arms simultaneously move to the armrest between them, Harry's arriving first nudges Ruth's off. They look at each other and smile.

"Sorry…." Harry says blushing

"No…no, actually I think it would be fairer if we did this…" Ruth suggests raising the armrest, freeing the barrier between them.

"I didn't know they did that" Harry says shifting closer to Ruth "I'd have moved it earlier" he growls into her ear.

Ruth, once again turned to jelly by Harry's soft sexy voice in her ear boldly places her hand on his thigh. Good grief, they are like two teenagers on a first date! What will happen next? Will Harry yawn and stretch his arm across the back of her seat! Not that she minded. There was something so noble about being carefully and slowly seduced. At least, that's what she hoped Harry was doing!

Harry gently places his hand, strong and a little clammy over Ruth's. Ruth leans into Harry and softly whispers in his ear.

"Tell me Harry.."

Harry turns, surprised and looks into Ruth's eyes.

"Now?"

"Now."

"I felt jealousy"

Thinking he could leave it there, his wall still slightly intact Ruth deepens her gaze on him and raises her eyebrows, encouraging him to elaborate. Aware that the bricks preventing him from taking this final step have just been demolished in that tiny action Harry sighs and leans in to whisper to her.

"Even the thought of you making love to someone other than me…even he thought of you being in love with someone other than me was almost too much to bear…"

His words are soft and heartfelt and as he pulls away Ruth turns her head and stops him with a kiss.

Taken off guard Harry finds his lips meeting Ruth's in the dark. The initial contact threatening to stop his heart in its tracks. As the kiss intensifies Harry, with every ounce of strength he has left shuts his eyes. Behind his eyelids stars fill his senses as he feels Ruth running her hands through his hair. This was a kiss like no other. In this kiss he realises he has been joined together with his one true love. As the passion grows they become one, at last. Wrapped up in each others embrace for an eternity the only thing that breaks them apart is the glare of the house lights signalling the end of the film. Pulling apart, flushed and both grinning widely Ruth is the first to speak.

"About bloody time" she smile, teasing him.

Looking at Ruth intensely he kisses her swollen lips once more.

"Definitely worth the wait I'd say" he mumbles, his mouth now buried in her neck.

Ruth playfully pulls away, "Come on…back to mine."

"Lead on!"

They just about make it to Harry's car before their pent up passion threatens to get them arrested for indecent behaviour in Leicester Square. Once inside the car Harry's hands find their way around Ruth's waist and cupping his face in her hands she pulls him in for another kiss. Breathing hard against each other Harry pulls away.

"Yours..now!"

Flushed and giggling, Ruth sits back and fumbles for the seatbelt. She looks across at Harry, hair messed up by her wandering hands and looking more deliciously flustered than she has ever seen him before. She casts a furtive glance in the direction of his nether regions. The sight that meets her eyes takes her breath away a little as she smiles secretly to herself. They speed through the streets of London, Ruth's hands stoically glued to her lap, Harry's focus on getting to Ruth's as soon as humanly possible. The tension in the car, palpable.

As they turn into Ruth's street the sight of billowing smoke and fire engines stops them in their tracks.
