Daphne and Daniel receive a letter.
Subject: A message of importance.
Where: Daniel's place.
Who: Daphne Wexley
Warnings: ~~none. yet. ;)~~ NC17. their first fight/make up-comfort sex. lots of drama. you know you love it!
Open to: Daniel Perkins

Daphne wanted everything perfect for Daniel for when he arrived home from visiting a patient. Ever since the hunt, every spare moment they had they spent it with each other. It really was sickening how close they were all the time and Yvette, Daniel's assistant, often voiced her opinion about it. Daphne didn't understand her so it didn't bother her much. Though they spent all the time they could together, there was hardly enough time to do so. But Daniel had the rest of the night off and Daphne had prepared to keep him all to herself.

A letter arrived late in the afternoon for Daphne, but she was too busy making things ready for Daniel to read it just yet. Setting it on the nightstand, she went on about her business. She had set out candles to light when it was close to Daniel being home, and she had undressed all but for a robe. Lighting the candles when it was time - really she did it for Daniel since he was all mushy like that - she sat on the bed and waited for him to get home. Realizing she still had time, she reached over for the letter and unfolded it.

As she read the loaded letter from her youngest sister, Ella, Daphne forgot to breathe. Her father, Lord John Wexley IV, had died two days ago, and his with his dying breath he had asked for Daphne. Tears formed in her eyes and she just sat there, rereading the letter over and over. She hardly even heard the bedroom door open.

Sniffling, she smiled faintly, "Really? I'd love to meet them, Daniel." Her heart was beating a million miles per hour and she was comforted by him just being there, but now she wanted a different kind of comforting. How was she going to ask him to do that for her when he was clearly confused by her wide range of emotions.

Blushing, she took her hands away from Daniel and looked down at herself. She was only covered by a robe and she sighed. "Daniel.. I'm sorry for how I'm acting.. I don't know.. There's a million things...." she tried to explain, really more to her lap, since she wasn't looking at him. Shrugging off the collar of the robe, she exposed her shoulders.

"Daphne.." he began, hoping to be ever the voice of reason even if it was against his desires, "I understand how horrid you must be feeling... and that you need to feel assured, but is this really truly how you wish to be comforted in your time of grief? It is so fresh are you sure..."

When she exposed her shoulders Daniel felt a surge of desire which was completely contradicting what he was saying. "I mean... death is so close to life and I know people... what was I saying?"

"This is how I want to be comforted," she paused, sitting up straighter, she let the top of the robe fall from her body, everything to her waist exposed for Daniel to see. Looking up at him, her eyes dark with desire, she leaned over to him, her hand reaching out to touch his neck, she kissed him.

"Please.. Daniel.. If you're worried about me regretting this tomorrow, I won't. I had planned an evening for us.. I just want you.. I want you to take me.."

She wanted him to take her? No-one had ever told him that before. This put pressure on him, this worried him; the woman had always been in control during these sorts of things, especially Daphne, but in her state she would probably not want to be the dominant one, here. His feelings were all conflicting him and he became breathless not simply because she was alluring him.

"I... Daphne, I'm not.." he began, wanting to say 'experienced enough' but fearing the outcome.

"Yes you are," knowing exactly what he was thinking. She kissed him again, running her fingers through his hair. When he didn't respond, she broke away and stood up, putting the robe back on. "Fine," she said roughly but soft. "Nevermind.. just forget it." She blew out all the candles and picked up her letter from her sister and headed towards the door. "Good night."

	"Daphne... Daphne!" Daniel snapped, trying to get her to stop being so irritated and running out of the room. He practically leapt up from the bed to follow her, scurrying behind. "I did not mean to offend you, I was just concerned...!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Daphne stopped and turned quickly to face him. "You're always concerned. Always unsure about yourself, Daniel! God... sometimes I don't like to be in charge.. and the one time I needed you to take charge... You can't because you weren't sure if you can!" she seethed, frustrated at him. Tears reformed in her eyes and she turned so that he wouldn't see. She was ashamed at how she was behaving towards him.

Daniel's face froze. He had never been shouted at by someone he cared for - save his brother, but that was understandable - and that it was Daphne made it all worse. The things she was saying to him! Bringing up his insecurities. His anger began to bubble. "Well, I apologise for not being as learned in such acts as you are," he said curtly. "I have obviously not had the amount of practice you seem to have had. I will take my concerns elsewhere..."

	Daphne turned slowly to look at him, astonished that he had just said that to her. Lifting her hand to smack him, she realized what she was doing and stopped herself, looking at her hand like it was a foreign object. Disgusted with him and with herself, she left the room.

	Daniel wanted her to slap him. He deserved it after that comment, but when she did not his steely gaze remained, not wanting to show him backing down. He immediately felt sorry, but this was not his fault. If she didn't want a concerned or insecure man then what the hell was she doing with him? "Daphne..." he said quietly, quite feebly at her retreating form. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Don't worry, I'll be gone by morning," she said, entering her room to pack. Throwing open her bag, she started throwing her clothes into it, anything that belonged to her. Now she was crying even harder, her room turning into complete disarray as she tried to pack her things. She didn't really want to leave but she was already in stress about her father. Now Daniel..

"No!" Daniel runned into the room, grabbing the suitcase and throwing it off the bed, along with everything she'd managed to shove inside it. Grabbing her hands as she continued to try, Daniel made sure his gaze met hers. "I am sorry. I am sorry... but do not leave me just because I was a stupid fool to say that!" he pleaded, still trying to maintain some sort of authority or dignity. His voice became softer then.

"Daphne... I love you. I did not mean to make you feel worse..."

	Daphne looked at him, stunned and just completely speechless. She couldn't take it anymore, she fell to her knees and cried as hard as she ever had. Her hands were still in his and she gripped onto them. She wanted to say she loved him too but she couldn't get any words to come out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It wasn't long before Daniel was at her side, bringing her into his arms. "I am sorry. I do not wish to argue. You just... need time," he said, hoping it wouldn't anger her futher. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Crying into him, Daphne held him tight. She wanted to hit him and kiss him. Need time? No, she wanted him to fuck her! That's what she wanted! But she was too weak right now and he was obviously not in the mood. Who would be when she was acting like a blibbering idiot?! Just giving in, she nodded and just went limp, not wanting to fight anymore. She'd save that for later.

Whatever Daphne needed, Daniel would give her, but he was not prepared to make love to a crying woman. That would do nothing for his self-esteem, and besides - fucking was not part of his forté yet. He only knew how to be gentle, not take command. There would be a next time, when she needed it more than just simple distraction taking him off guard.

"Don't leave me," he whispered to her.

Daphne shook her head, wrapping her arms around him tighter. Taking several deep breaths, she kissed his neck lightly. "I wouldn't leave unless you wanted me too.." she said calmly. She was still hurt by what he had said, and she decided she should voice it. "That really hurt, what you said... I only know so much because I was told to do it. The only time it's ever meant anything was when I was with you... and I was so nervous," she sat back to look at him. "So I don't appreciate you calling me nothing more than a common whore when what I did with you was out of love, unlike what I've done before."

Her face didn't show anger, just more hurt than anything. "And I like that you are sensitive and unsure.. I'm sorry I said I didn't."

Daniel listened, nodding as she spoke. He knew she was right. He was wrong to have even implied that, to have even said it or even thought it. Pressing a kiss to her head he felt rather emotional once more. "It was a low blow. It was cruel of me to even say it... I do not think that of you Daphne, it just hurt when you said I was too concerned. It's my life. It's me."

He sighed, cuddling her closer. "I never told you why it is, but that is for another day."

	Sighing too, Daphne laid her head back on his shoulder, calming down now. She chose not to press on whatever it was that Daniel was going on about, simply because she was too mentally exhausted to worry about it. "I love that you're concerned.. It makes me feel cared for, unlike I've ever felt before." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You deserve to be cared for," Daniel told her, kissing her head again and, remarkably to him, continuing to kiss all down her face. "You're a beautiful woman... you are kind, considerate, delightfully spirited, intelligent..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Daphne tried to smile, but it just wasn't in her to do so, though she felt considerably better about their relationship. "Some would say that my spirited nature is a hinderance, not a positive thing," she commented, lifting her chin so that he kissed her lips. She kissed him sweetly, reaching up to touch his face.
