"Remind me again why I had this party," Lisa grumbled as she shut the door behind the last guest at one in the morning. This was early by Hollywood standards, but she had pretty much ordered everyone out at one.

"Because you like having people around and you like having fun?" Nick suggested from his seat next to Lara on the sofa. She was snuggled up next to him and he was tracing little designs on the side of her stomach.

"Because you like putting me through hell every six or seven months?" Lara added.

"Because you wanted to show off your fantastic boyfriend?" Kevin asked, coming up behind Lisa and putting his arms around her waist. She snapped her fingers. "Yes. That is exactly it." She smiled up into Kevin's green eyes and Lara and Nick groaned as one. Lara stood.

"That is definitely my clue to leave," she said. She hugged Lisa and gave Kevin a kiss on the cheek. "Don't stay up too late, kids."

Nick shook Kevin's hand and gave Lisa a hug. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do."

"That doesn't leave us much," Kevin said teasingly. Lara quickly glanced at Nick, wondering how true that was.

"Thanks for a great party, Lucky," Nick said to Lisa.

"Don't thank me. I just let people in the house. Lara did all the work," Lisa said generously.

"Oh, I plan on thanking her later," Nick said devilishly, and Lara felt her knees buckle. They said good night and walked out to their cars, parked at opposite ends of the private driveway.

"So...um...when will I see you again?" Lara asked, trying not to sound too eager.

"How about tomorrow morning when we wake up," Nick whispered, running a hand down her jawbone. Lara swallowed deeply.

"Nick...I really really like you, but I can't do that. I can't just jump into bed with you. I really want to, and I know that I may be chasing you away by saying this, since you can get women into bed with you at the drop of a hat, but I just can't move things that fast." Lara was afraid to look at him.

Nick gently tilted her face up to his. "It's okay," he said softly, kissing her nose and cheeks. "I understand." He pulled her against him and began passionately kissing her. His hands moved down to caress her back while her fingers ran up through his blond hair. When they finally pulled apart, she was breathless. "Sure I can't convince you?" Nick asked, slowly moving his body against hers.

"I will kick myself for this later, but no, you can't convince me," she said in a quivering voice. Nick laughed.

"Are you busy this weekend?" Lara shook her head. "How about I come around for you around nine Saturday morning...we could go for a drive up the coast."

"Really?" Lara almost squeaked.

"Yes, really. I want to get to know you better, Lara."

"Um...okay...that sounds great!" Lara said. She went to her car to grab some paper, and quickly wrote down her address. When she reached out her arm to hand Nick the paper, he pulled her to him for another passionate kiss. This time he was the first to pull away, and he buried his face in her hair.

"Damn...Lara...you make me want to just throw you into the back of my car and take you away somewhere," he groaned.

"Another time," she promised, bravely kissing the hollow of his neck.

"I'll call you in a day or two," he told her. He gave her one last hug and trotted down the driveway to his car. Lara watched his headlights zoom down the street, then allowed herself to skip back to her car joyfully.

"I didn't even do anything and I'm worn out," Lisa said as she and Kevin trudged up the steps.

"It's all the stress of worrying. I know you were worrying about everything going just right," he said as she walked ahead of him into her bedroom.

"You know me so well already? That's scary," she said.

"It is, isn't it? I just feel like I've known you forever instead of a few weeks." He pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. Kevin kissed his way down Lisa's face to her lips. When their mouths met Lisa felt her body melt against his strong arms and chest. That's how it always was when Kevin kissed her. She sighed against him. They had vowed to try and wait before sleeping together, agreeing that sex often ruined relationships instead of making them stronger. It was getting harder and harder for her to pull away, though, and she knew it had to be twice as hard for Kevin. His tongue danced with hers and she moaned. Lisa finally pulled back.

"I don't know how much longer I can put up with this," she admitted in a whisper. Kevin leaned his forehead against hers.

"Your bathtub is big, right?"

"Um...yeah..." Lisa said slowly, wondering how the conversation had wandered to her bathtub. "It could seat like four people. It's one of the big splurges I made when I bought the house."

"Well, why don't you go start the water...throw in some of that smelly stuff you girls like...and then come back here. I will slowly unwrap this gorgeous dress from your gorgeous body, and then you, Lucky, are gonna get lucky."

Lara hummed as she placed her roses in a vase in the dining room of her tiny apartment. Lisa paid her handsomely, but she still enjoyed her tiny two-bedroom apartment. Even for all she had done that day, she wasn't close to tired. She wanted to stay awake and enjoy the idea of Nick wanting to get to know her better. Lara stared into space, remembering the feeling of his lips on hers. She sighed happily, jumping when the phone rang. She stared at it for a moment. She never answered the phone after eleven at night; there were too many crazies who somehow got her number and called about Lucky. For some reason, however, she felt compelled to answer.

"Hello?" Lara said cautiously.

"Hey, you...I like the Tigger pjs," a male voice said on the other end.

Lara gasped. "Who...who is this?" She took a step back and almost fell over a chair, visions of the movie "Scream" running through her head.

"It's Nick."

"Oh, thank God," she said weakly, falling into the chair. "You scared the shit out of me, Nick!"

"I guess that was kinda stupid, huh? I apologize," Nick said sincerely.

"But you just look so damned cute in those shorts and that tank top."

"Where ARE you?" Lara asked, walking to the balcony outside her dining room. It overlooked the small alley that ran behind her apartment building.

"Look down," he said, and she saw him leaning against his car. She burst out laughing.

"Nickolas Carter, what the hell are you doing here?"

"Saying goodnight. I kinda feel like Romeo, though, with Juliet up on the balcony."

Lara blushed. "How did you know which apartment I was in?"

"I counted up and over, and the you turned on the dining room light. It's not safe, baby. You really should close those drapes."

"You're right...sorry," Lara said.

"Hold on a second," he said, and suddenly threw his cellphone through the open window of his car. He walked across the alley towards her building, and she couldn't see him anymore. Suddenly he popped up in front of her and she almost screamed. "Gotta love fire escapes," he told her with a smile.

He cupped her face in his hands before she could say anything. "Sweet dreams, Juliet." He gave her a sweet tender kiss and then nimbly climbed back down. He hopped in his car and drove away before she could do anything. Lara slowly turned and went back into the apartment, carefully closing the drapes behind her.

"How the HELL does this thing work?" Kevin yelled in frustration, fumbling with the ties on Lisa's dress. "Oh, let me do it, or we'll be here all night," Lisa said, turning her back to him. She quickly undid the strings and it began to drop from her shoulders.

"But I wanted to unwrap you," Kevin pouted. Lisa looked up at his adorable pouting face and pressed her body against him, unable to resist his cuteness.

"It's not off yet," she whispered huskily. He slowly pushed the fabric from her body as she undid the two buttons that held his shirt together. He swallowed deeply as her body was revealed to him.

"All this time you had nothing underneath?" Kevin almost squeaked.

"I couldn't, not with this kind of dress." Lisa slowly undid his belt and very very slowly slid the pants down his legs. He wore nothing under the pants and she almost gasped out loud. Was there any part of this man that was NOT perfectly formed? She reached out one finger and gently ran it along his already hard cock. He hissed in a breath.

"Not...yet..." he murmured. He took her by the hand and led her into the bathroom. The whole room smelled like roses and steam filled the air. He stepped into the tub and helped her in as well. He sat her in front of him, pressing his chest against her back as he placed a leg on either side of her. He grabbed a sponge and began to slowly dribble water down her chest and stomach. She sighed and closed her eyes, leaning back against him.

"Mmmm..." she moaned as the sponge began to rub slow circles around her breasts.

"You are like no one I've ever met before," Kevin said softly. "I've never been drawn to someone so fast. You're talented, beautiful, kind, sweet, sexy...I could go on forever."

"Well, don't stop," she said quietly, and Kevin laughed, his laughter shaking them both.

"Save that particular phrase for later," he replied, and it was Lisa's turn to giggle. "Lisa, I just...I...oh, hell. I think I'm falling in love with you."

"What?" Lisa turned to face him.

"I know...it's too soon...and I'm sorry. I just wanted so much to get out of that party and be alone with you tonight, because I just wanted nothing more to spend hours and hours telling you I loved you, and showing you I loved you."

"I thought I was the only one that felt that way," she said softly, and Kevin's eyes lit up.

"Really? You're not mad at me for telling you how I feel?"

"How could I be mad? The most perfect man in the universe telling me he loves me and wants to make love to me all night long? Yes, that would make the average woman furious, I guess."

"You are definitely NOT the average woman, Lisa." Kevin pulled her against him. "I love you."

"I love you, too, Kevin," Lisa said with a smile. He continued to slowly wash her body until she was ready to scream. He stood her up and carefully toweled down her entire body, making sure that she was completely dry before quickly drying his own body. He led her to her bed, and proceeded to show her how much he loved her...all night long.
