Part 2

Later that night the three operatives were all relaxing around the fireplace. Michael and Nikita on the love seat cuddled in each other's arms just enjoying the warmth, peace and solitude. DeLeah was curled up in one of the nearby black recliners just enjoying the peace and quiet and the warmth of the atmosphere. There was some soft pop music playing in the background. After awhile DeLeah started getting tired even though it was only 9pm which reminded her of something she needed to do.

"Well you two I am going to retire to my room. I will see you both in the morning."

"Maybe" she murmured.

"I heard that DeLeah" Nikki laughed.

"hmmm...what?" DeLeah asked innocently as she hopped up the stairs before Nikki could say something.

As soon as she got into her room she started a pot of coffee which she always kept in her bathroom, turned on some pop music with a beat and booted up her computer while she went to take a shower.

10 minutes later she was dressed in comfortable black sweats and black silk shirt and connecting to the phone line in her room. She started up her comm and video link and logged in.

"Hey girl!" the lady on the other end said.

"Hey genes? What have you been up to?" DeLeah asked.

"Not much. Just trying to keep up with you guys on this mission. Birkoff's been assigned to help Rita and Sherry with some mission of their own so you're stuck with me I guess" Genie explained.

"arrrgghhhhh" DeLeah groaned. "Why do I always get stuck with YOU?"

"Hey now!" Genie exclaimed laughing knowing DeLeah was only giving her crap like usual.

DeLeah laughed. "so when is this guy supposedly suppose to contact Michael?" she asked.

"There's not a definite time range but sometime within the next few days to a week" Genie replied.

"ok. So what's the news around CLHQ?" DeLeah asked.

"um...Rita and Sherry are up to something..." Genie began.

"Old news! Old news genie! When are the Twisted Mom's not up to something?" DeLeah asked laughing.

Genie snickered, "This is true."

"So what else?" DeLeah asked.

"Um...rumor has it that North and Maddy are at each others throats again over operations. I really don't see what the big fight is over on a 55 year old cranky geezer" Genie said.

*ROTFLOL* "Just don't let North hear you say that" DeLeah warned trying not to laugh too hard herself.

The two operatives stayed up until the early hours of the morning talking. "Ya know what genes I gotta go otherwise I'll never get up tomorrow"

DeLeah said.

"And what's wrong with not getting up?" Genie demanded.

"um..well..I sorta gave Nikki a hard time about seeing them at all tomorrow" DeLeah admitted.

Genie burst out laughing, "I bet that went over real well"

DeLeah smirked, "I wouldn't know. I ran upstairs before she could comment"

Genie rolled her eyes, that was DeLeah alright. Always causing trouble and then bailing out before things got carried away.

"Besides," DeLeah said. "They were both cuddled up and I'm sure they won't remember a thing in the morning" she snickered.

Genie laughed, "Yea you're probably right."

"Anyways see you laterz genes" DeLeah said while putting a comb through her now damp hair and taking a sip of her coffee.

"Alright. Laterz." Genie said before she signed off.

The next morning DeLeah felt rested which surprised her considering she hadn't gone to bed until 3:30 this morning. She glanced over at the clock and noticed it was already 11:30am.

"Damn!" she swore. "If those two are up already I'm never going to hear the end of it" DeLeah groaned. She quickly dressed in a pair of black trouser pants and a pale yellow silk shirt with creme pump shoes. As shemade her way down the stairs she could hear Nikita giggling in the kitchen. As she opened the door she went straight for the coffee as she watched Michael feed Nikita a grape as Nikita sensously licked the two fingers which came into her mouth. She closed her eyes enjoying the taste of the grape and the sweet and salty taste of Michael in her mouth.

DeLeah interrupted their little interlude, "Michael!"

They both jumped not even hearing DeLeah come into the kitchen.

"Who drank all the coffee?" she demanded.

"Well certainly not I" he proclaimed innocently.

DeLeah rolled her eyes. She knew that Nikki didn't drink coffee so that meant only one thing. Michael was the culprit.

"Speaking of which" Nikki began getting up from her chair. "Just who was giving us a hard time last night about getting up today. Isn't that same someone just now getting up and it is..." Nikki looked at her watch, "almost noon" she confirmed.

Michael smirked, he'd known Kita was not going to let her get away with that one.

DeLeah snickered, "aw come on Nikki. You know I was only messing with ya"

"yea I do which is the only reason I'm letting you get away with it"

DeLeah let out a breath of air.

"For NOW anyways" Nikki added.

DeLeah groaned and looked at Michael. Her eyes pleaded with him for some help.

All he did was shrug his shoulders. "Men!" DeLeah remarked as she walked out with her mug of freshly made coffee. Suddenly a thought came to her. She walked back into the kitchen just in time to see Michael ready to help himself to more of the coffee.

"uh uh uh uh" DeLeah said making Michael turn around. "Keep your sticky little paws out of MY coffee" she said laughing as she exited the kitchen once more.

Michael sighed as he went to sit next to Kita again. "What are we going to do with her?" he asked.

"Turn her into the best operative we can and let her loose. She'll drive the others crazy once we're gone" she laughed.

Michael smiled, "definitley" he murmured as he captured her sweet lips once more. Nikita smiled and pulled him up. She ran her hands up and down his chest. They longed to go underneath his shirt once more as they had last night. She stopped to play with a nipple through his thin black tee . She bent her mouth to suckle it through the cloth. Michael shivered.

"Enough" he shivered pulling her mouth back up for a more demanding and passionate kiss. The kiss deepened and searched her soul even deeper for the light he so desperatley seeked from her. The kiss went on and on. Nikita brought her small hand down to gently caress his thigh through the cloth of his pants. Michael soon captured her hand though and began planting small butterfly kisses on it and up her arm until he reached her shoulder. He moved onto her neck kissing and nipping at all of the areas he knew she loved.

"mmmm..Michael" Nikita murmured as she moved her free hand to tangle in his curly hair once more and brought his face down demanding more kisses. She thrust her tounge into his mouth and his joined hers in a mating dance. Finally they both pulled free from each other.

"Come on" Nikita urged him as she entwined his fingers into her.

He smiled and let her lead him to wherever they were going. She led him out into the stables and stopped when they came to a stall with fresh and clean straw in it. There was a blanket layed out on top of the hay. Michael looked at her quizzically. Nikita sat down on the blanket pulling Michael on top of her.

"mmmm...." Nikita murmured tasting his lips with her tounge softly teasing him.

Michael pulled back a little. He looked into her eyes while he softly caressed both cheeks with this rough hands. "What do you want?" he asked.

Nikita took his hands from her face and kissed each palm lightly. She dragged his hands down her face, over her creamy neck, and along the edge of

her body until she placed his palms over her breasts. "Please Michael" she wimpered her eyes pleading with him.

Michael let a smile of pleasure flit across his face. He placed his thumbs on one breast and played with it for a minute before his mouth came to suckle her through the thinness of her black tee.

"Michael" Nikita groaned letting the pleasure and ecstasy take over her.

Hours later Michael and Nikita slowly made their way back to the house. Nikita had her head laying against Michael's chest and both were totally relaxed.

Suddenly they heard a giggle from the living room. Curious both operatives walked in to find DeLeah entertaining a young man with reddish brown hair in his early 30's.

DeLeah looked up laughing at the young man's charm. "Ah there you guys are" DeLeah announced standing up. "Brad, may I introduce you to my brother-in-law Michael, and my sister Nikita."

Michael's grip around Nikita's waist tightened as he saw the young man sizing her up as his eyes roved over her gorgeous figure. Nikita looked and felt comfortable and so she snuggled even closer to Michael letting him know that this guy was definitley slime.

"Michael, Nikki, this is Brad" she introduced them. "Brad says he knows you Michael and would like to talk to you" DeLeah said.

Michael nodded, "Alright" he gave a small smile and led the younger man into the den.

"Come on Nikki" DeLeah urged. "Let's take a walk"

Nikki nodded her eyes telling DeLeah that she was a bit frightened. "It's beginning" she whispered.

"I know"DeLeah commented. She grabbed Nikki's hand giving it a reassuring squeeze. "It'll be alright" she tried to convince her. Nikki wasn't buying it.

They stopped at the local market and grabbed an ice cream cone. That cheered Nikki up for the rest of the walk but as they neared the house again Nikki frowned and got the far away look in her eyes again.

"Nikki what's wrong" DeLeah implored her friend.

"It's brad." Nikki admitted. "I don't kow what it is but there's something wrong with this. I felt it even before he sized me up with his eyes. He doesn't have the look or the feeling of being red cell"

"You think he's not red cell" DeLeah asked.

"Not sure. YET." she said.

"Well we could process his fingerprints and then send them to genie for identiication" DeLeah offered. "I can get his prints off of the glass of wine I gave him"

Nikki looked confused for a minute. "I though birkoff was running the intel"

"He was but Sherry and Rita pulled him for something and they assigned genie" DeLeah explained.

"Does Michael know about this?" Nikki questioned.

"I'm not sure. Probably not" DeLeah said. "What's wrong? I thought you trusted Genie" DeLeah said.

"Oh I do. It's just that I don't like changes in the middle of missions. You know how dangerous that can be" Nikki explained.

"Yea I do" DeLeah admitted. "Come on. Michael and Brad should be finished by now."
