Starlight · Charlie's Angel

Claire

He smiled and walked towards them, wiping his hands on his jeans.

"Hey you lot!" He said to his kids and went to kiss his children.

He looked at his wife smugly and winked at her, 'And how was Shannons?" He looked so satisfied with what he'd done.

He turned his head to the side and looked at her carefully, "Enjoy yourself?"

Claire held her rose up toward him. "Yes, I quite enjoyed myself. It was nice chatting with the girls," she said with a smile. "Thank you for the rose by the way. It's beautiful!"

He wrapped his arms around her and half lifted her, "I missed you." He held her close to his body.

She hugged him back tightly. "I missed you too angel." She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed happily. Claire pulled away and kissed him softly. "Something smells really good. Wonder what it could be? Shall we go see?"

Aaron pulled her leg. "Sweepy, Mommy." Claire looked down at him and grinned, lifting him in her arms. "Looks like the little ones are ready for bed. How about a quick supper for them and then after they are in bed we can get to whatever smells so good?"

Claire lifted Aaron and took him to the kitchen. She fed him a pb&j and fixed Lizzie some baby food. She and Des fed them both. Once they were finished and cleaned up, Claire took them upstairs and put them both to bed. She came back downstairs and went to the kitchen.

"So, now what does smell so good in here?" she asked with a flirty smile.

------------------------------------

Nikki

"I dont remember my first shag...because it was probably awful." He looked at her and now traced the tops of her breasts. "Ive been with a handful of women in my life," he explained. "And they were all only for my pleasure, no real attachment really."

Nikki chuckled as he began to answer, but was quickly silenced as his hand moved to trace the tops of her breasts. A chill ran through her body. It took everything she had not to push her breasts further into his hands. She loved the way he touched her.

He scooted closer to her and said, "I could never forget you," his hand continued to trace her, "So theres your answer," he couldnt resist and leaned down to kiss the top of her breast...it was just buldging so wonderfully.

Nikki smiled back at him. She could never forget him either. Her eyes closed as he kissed her breast. A soft moan escaped her lips as her eyes slowly opened again.

He looked up and said, "Now pick dare."

Nikki bit her lip in anticipation. Her hand was still resting on his hip and she let her thumb slip over the edge and caress the corner of his pelvis.

"Okay," she said grinning, all too willing to oblige. "Dare."

Kate

Sun stood up with Kate picking up their cups and napkins and she remarked with a knowing smile...
"Anxious is good, nervous is good..."
She raised her brow and remarked more quietly....
"And then ofcourse there is the making up part."
'I just hope we can get to that point. The way we ended things..."she shook her head, "I dont know..."

Sun smirked back at Kate as she placed Tae back in his stroller and wheeled him out with Kate and the twins.
When they got to the parking lot, Sun noticed it was starting to get dark out and she turned to Kate and replied...
"Well, I suppose we better get ourselves home, I have to make supper for Jack."
"Oh well what a good housewife you are," Kate said in a teasing voice.

Sun smiled and she remarked....
"It isnt as bad as it sounds, he makes me breakfast almost every morning, and last night he bought dinner for us."
"Well at least I know Jack takes good care of you," she said softly.

Sun leaned down to stroke Samanthas hair and Jamies and she smiled remarking fondly....
"I bet they wont even make it home." She was referring to them staying awake. They both had the sleepy eyes thing going on.

"Theyre out for the night." Kate said with a fond smile to her daughter and son.

And Sun smiled wider.
"Goodnight Samantha. Goodnight Jamie!"

Sun waved back at them and held Taes hand out as if to wave to them..."Tae says goodnight too."
"Say goodnight you two." Kate said and saw their little uninsterested faces stare at Sun and Tae. "Theyre just tired." She excused.

She leaned in to hug Kate goodbye and then Sun stated....
"Take care of yourself and call me if you need anything."

"Of course I will."

"This was fun, we should do it again sometime, or maybe really get a sitter so we can have those drinks."
"Maybe sometime next week. I would love it. Before this argument I had with Sawyer, I was thinking about throwing Libby a bachelorette party at a nice little cocktail place. Just to sit at the table and tease Libby about tying the knot. Maybe next Friday night before the wedding." Kate explained.

Sun smiled back at Kate and she remarked...
"Who knows, maybe we can even coax our men to go out on a double date."
Kate sighed, "I would love that."

She laughed at that thought thinking, maybe not likely. Although it would be amusing. And she waved goodbye to Kate as she took Taes stroller her dress draped over the side in a plastic bag, Sun called back to her...
"Goodnight Kate!"
"See you Saturday night." Kate called back and loaded the kids up.

It was dark by the time she made it home. Her focus was completely on the kids and lugged them into the house and went straight to the nursery. They started whining when she took each one out and changed them into their pajamas'. But once she laid them down they were passed out.

She remembered her dress and started back outside and when she passed the living room, she realized the tv was on.

Her heart nearly froze. It was Sawyer.

Had he heard her come in? Was he there when she came in?

She walked closer to the sofa and saw him slumped over. She looked at his face and saw the even breathing. Then she knew he had been there for a while and went to sleep.

She sighed softly and then smelled the takeout wafting in from the kitchen. She made a small smile to herself, grabbed the comfy blanket off the sofa and covered him with it softly.

She made her way to the car and grabbed her clothes, came back in and placed them over a chair. She realized how hungry she was and didnt make it passed the kitchen.

She started heating up the food and then sat by the window in the kitchen and watched the ocean peacefully by the light of the moon.

~~~~~~~~~

Desmond

He enjoyed the time he had with his family. They fed their children and dressed them for bed. He watched Claire in awe as she interacted with their children. She was such a wonderful mother. He felt good having her back home and soon in his arms.

They made it back to the kitchen and he started taking out their plates to serve them.

"So, now what does smell so good in here?" she asked with a flirty smile.

He hurried back to her side and pulled out a chair, 'For you my lady," he said and helped her in the chair and scooted it back in.

He took out the plates again and filled each one with his pasta. "I think we've had this before," he said as he got his own plate filled and took it over to her, then went over to get out the wine, the table ws already set.

"My creamy penn pasta with creamy cheese dressing ontop...made with wood grilled chicken and bacon and spinach smothered in the same sauce."

He kissed her softly and sat down opposite her. He got back up and dimmed the light and sat down. Then got back up and quickly turned on the candles on the counter. There were two tall candles. He walked back to them and brought them to the table and then decided against it because he wouldnt be able to see her face so he placed them beside them on the counter.

He grinned and laughed nervously and sat back down at the table. "I hope you enjoy this." He poured her wine and then stood up again and grabbed the sparkling cider. Then sat back down again and poured her a fresh glass.

"Ill most enjoy watching you," he said. "I hope you like Tuscan food, yeah?"

~~~~~~~~~

Charlie

"Okay," she said grinning, all too willing to oblige. "Dare."

He breathed evenly as he thought about the dare. Should he be bad.. should he be wicked? The thoughts were swimming around his head and then he decided that he was going to be bad anyway...

He reached over and dimmed the lights. THe sun was almost completely gone. He had large screen doors that held a spectacular view of the ocean from this part of the cliff. It was a romantic setting.

"I dare you to dance for me..." he grabbed her arm and went to look like he was gonna kiss her, but instead of kissing her, his lips rubbed against hers as he spoke, "a lap dance."

He slowly backed away, stood up and went to the settee Nikki had placed in front of the window. His arms spread out over the back of the chair and he watched her...ready...

~~~~~~

Alex

She set their plates up with their chicken and biscuits as he searched for something to watch.

"You can feel free to fall asleep or whatever.." he said, giving her a kiss on the head as they watched some dumb movie on tv. "You've earned it today beautiful.." He put his arm around her.
She sighed wearily, "I still have things to do."

"never seen anyone as meticulous as you..and looking so perfect doing it.."
"Way to score points with the missus, Mr Carlyle," she smiled and leaned up to kiss him.

After eating a good portion of chicken and biscuits, Alex tookout her organizer, went to a blank sheet and drew the outline of the dining room. "I have to set places on where whos going to sit with who."

Alex explained as she drew, "I was thinking all the men sit on one side and the ladies sit on the other and their significant other facing them on the other side...kind of like that."

She looked at Boone, "What do you think?" Her eyes widened and she blinked. She was so tired, but she had to get this done and what he thought meant everything to her.

fricksgurl75 · The light on the dark side of me..

Boone

"Way to score points with the missus, Mr Carlyle," she smiled and leaned up to kiss him.
"I do what I can" he said with a wink right before she kissed him. "always looking for an angle."

After eating a good portion of chicken and biscuits, Alex tookout her organizer, went to a blank sheet and drew the outline of the dining room. "I have to set places on where whos going to sit with who."
He raised an eyebrow and looked over at what she was doing.

"How so?"

Alex explained as she drew, "I was thinking all the men sit on one side and the ladies sit on the other and their significant other facing them on the other side...kind of like that."
He nodded looking at it.

She looked at Boone, "What do you think?" Her eyes widened and she blinked. She was so tired, but she had to get this done and what he thought meant everything to her.
"it looks perfect to me." he said, not much for planning these things but remembering the ones they'd had at his house. "That's the way alot of the fancy ones are set up, and it'll keep the guys in line.. at least for a little while."

Boone thought about who would sit where, thinking on the best possible ways to avoid conflict.

"But I would suggest not sitting Jack next to Sawyer or anywhere near him for that matter, if you want to avoid trouble there." He suggested. "Although it would be funny I have to admit, if you want the entertainment that is."

He laughed a little, thinking of the dynamics of their group. Trying to help out whatever way he could here. And she looked tired to him, he took the organizer out of her hands for a minute, and put his hand on her face.

"I want you to get some rest now.. you've been running yourself ragged and you do need to sleep a little." he told her, knowing she's be a little stubborn about it. "Don't argue with me on this ok?"

He smiled at her and kissed her head, and then caressed her cheek.

"I'll be perfect don't worry..I think you've got all covered here."

Sawyer

Kate

She started heating up the food and then sat by the window in the kitchen and watched the ocean peacefully by the light of the moon.

Sawyer thought he heard the door open and close, lost in his dreams, both good and bad, when the unmistakable scent of spicy Thai finally food woke him up with a start.

He thought he forgot about it. He left it in the oven and now it was burning. But it didnt smell like it was burning, looking down as he moved his arm he saw that he was covered in a blanket. And Sawyer looked down confused, still groggy, and then his answer came to him.

Kate.

She was home and he swallowed slowly in nervous apprehension. He remembered now, he was going to call her before he fell asleep. Sawyer finally stood up, clicking the television off he walked barefoot, silently towards their kitchen. The lights were off but he somehow knew she was there.

He saw her sitting over by the window eating the Thai food out of the box. So much for his earlier efforts to make ammends. He had gone and fallen asleep instead. He leaned his hand against the door jam for a moment in hesitation. She looked peaceful, but Sawyer still couldnt tell if she looked mad or content.

Swallowing again he finally worked up the nerve to approach her, feeling vulnerable, but he tried to brush it off by playing it casual. Walking in Sawyer cleared his throat and went to the fridge to get a beer.

"Nice night." he remarked. Looking down for a moment, Sawyer thought to himself 'how stupid was that? Youve been seperated all day and thats the first thing you could come up with dummy?

He raised his eyes slowly to meet Kates and leaned against the counter screwing off the top of his beer. He still wasnt sure what to say. Only she could get him all tongue tied.

Sawyer sighed and looked out the window at the same ocean Kate was staring off too.

He leaned against the counter getting the same far away expression she had and he asked her casually, trying to tiptoe his way to the subject of their argument...

"You get that dress?"

Daring to meet her gaze, he could feel her eyes pleading with his to say something more. An entire undercurrent of passion and angst flowing between them.

Sawyer took another swig of his beer, still afraid. He didnt know what Kate was thinking. For all he knew she could stand up and slap him right now. But he took his chances.

Holding out his hand to her Sawyer nodded for her to take it and he remarked...

"Come on Freckles."

He picked up another pair of chopsticks with his white box of chicken curry and he led her out to their patio.

Sawyer set down the food they brought with them on the small table and went to light the small fire pit. The salty ocean air tangled with the embers sending sparks flying in every direction.

And then he came back to take the chair next to Kates...

"Sure cant beat this view..." Sawyer remarked looking out at the ocean, he leaned back in his chair and looked out at the sparkling ink black water.

Sawyer looked back at Kate wondering if he saw a hint of a smile there or he was just imagining it. He wanted to kiss her right now, her face embraced by the moonlight perfectly. But there was still something heavy between them.

He didnt want to admit it but he knew what needed to be said. Still hesitant. If she was mad it wouldnt make a difference. But he knew he was wrong before.

Looking down at his hands, he was fumbling with the chop sticks in nervousness, and Sawyer decided just to do it. He needed to say it.

"Im sorry Kate."

Sawyer replied after a moment of silence and then he looked back at her meeting her questioning gaze and he nodded...

"Shouldnt have said that about going to that party, Ill go with you if you still want me to."

He creased his brows and looked back at Kate questioningly, fearful that he was not forgiven. Waiting with heart on his sleeve for her reply.

Katie Ford · Senior Member

Kate

She didnt even hear his footsteps.

"Nice night." he remarked.
She turned to him, a little startled, but not too much. He was leaning against the counter and screwing off the top of his beer. She wanted to run into his arms and have him screw her. He was so handsome just standing there. She thought of herself as an idiot to have the fight in the first place.

"Yeah," she replied and turned back to the window, "It is." She didnt know if he was still made. But his tone was all around gentle.

"You get that dress?"
She looked back at him and again, wanted to run and kiss him nice and good.

"Yeah. It was an adventure though. I'll have to tell you about it," she gave him a small smile and looked down at the food. Which was delicious.

Holding out his hand to her Sawyer nodded for her to take it and he remarked...
"Come on Freckles."

She felt herself a fool for not even hesitating. But she wanted to be with him again. Wanted to touch him somehow.

He picked up another pair of chopsticks with his white box of chicken curry and he led her out to their patio.
It was a beautiful, breezy night out.

Sawyer set down the food they brought with them on the small table and went to light the small fire pit. The salty ocean air tangled with the embers sending sparks flying in every direction.
She was so nervous. She felt like this was a first date. Like she wanted him to make the move...but all the same, she knew she was the type to make the first move if anything.

And then he came back to take the chair next to Kates...
"Sure cant beat this view..." Sawyer remarked looking out at the ocean, he leaned back in his chair and looked out at the sparkling ink black water.
"No," she sat back. "Its magnificent."

There ws such an awkward silence. And the air was thick from the tension. She hated this. She hated it all. And so she started, "Im sorry James."

"Im sorry Kate."
She looked at him with fascination. They had said it at the same time. He continued.

"Shouldnt have said that about going to that party, Ill go with you if you still want me to."
"James. I dont know why I havent learned to deal with your crankiness when it comes to get-togethers. This was all my fault. You didnt deserve my attitude."

She scooted a tiny bit closer to him. He looked so ridiculously handsome in the monlight. The shadow of his beard. The blue light in his eyes from the fire.

She took the initiative and kissed him. Her hand went to his face and she held it while her lips pressed against his. Her heart slammed in her chest and blood raced. She licked his mouth and felt his open, sliding her tongue against his. It had felt like months since they last kissed.

She slanted over his mouth again and again. It felt so wonderful, she just wanted to melt there and never come back out.

But she pulled back and looked at him, feeling those sparks ignite.

"I love you." She held back her crazy emotional tears. She couldnt believe that she was so damn emotional. "I do James. I always have. I always will."

~~~~~~~~~

Alex

"it looks perfect to me."
"Really? You sure?"

"That's the way alot of the fancy ones are set up, and it'll keep the guys in line.. at least for a little while."
Alex smiled at that and thought about the lineup.

"But I would suggest not sitting Jack next to Sawyer or anywhere near him for that matter, if you want to avoid trouble there." He suggested. "Although it would be funny I have to admit, if you want the entertainment that is."
"I dont want any fights at my party. But you have to agree this might force them into good behavior." She giggled a bit.

"Well after I set this up, I have to set up the right chairs and the--"

"I want you to get some rest now.. you've been running yourself ragged and you do need to sleep a little."

"But-"

"Don't argue with me on this ok?"
She sighed. This was one fight she didnt have the energy to try to win.

He smiled at her and kissed her head, and then caressed her cheek.
"I'll be perfect don't worry..I think you've got all covered here."
"I have a whole nother 24 hours to worry about," she said and got up slowly. "Alright, I'll go to bed," she sounded like a child who was just punished.

"But not for long," she pointed at him and with a slick smile she turned and went to their bedroom.

Alex put on her blue silk pajamas and pulled back the blankets to get in bed. She had to admit to herself how comfortable it was to settle down in bed.

Before Boone could even enter the room behind her, she was dead to the world.

"Alright see ya then Libby, thanks for being here.." she said sincerly. "it really helped.."

Libby hugged Shannon and whispered to her. "Don't you worry honey. It was my pleasure. We'll work on some more later."

She hugged Claire too. "I'm so glad you came sweetie. I'll see you this weekend."

She walked toward the door. "Y'all be good." She walked out the door and got in the car and headed home.

She pulled up to the house and took the things she bought inside. "John?! I'm home." She called.

------------

Sayid

She stroked her little back and leaned over and kissed her head and then went to Sayid's office where he was working on the computer. She stayed quiet for the moment. Thinking on everything. And then finally spoke.

Sayid was studying some of the things he'd found in the warehouse. He pulled off his reading glasses as Shannon came in.

"Their gone.." she said softly, coming in and sitting down. "Sarah's napping, she and Lizzie tuckered themselves out."

"Oh I'm sure they did." He said, looking at her.

She wrapped her arms around herself as if she was cold and continued to watch him work. A thousand things going through her head. Like her fathers stuff and her heavy talk with Libby earlier. Didn't even know how to bring that subject up, but knew eventually she'd have to.

"Did you buy what you wanted today?" He asked.

"I got my dress, and your suit for the party..they're in the closet.." she said as she sat there.

"Oh good, I'm sure you found something stunning." He said.

"And I finally went through my fathers things, found a few things of note.. " she paused, taking a breath. "like some weird codes and a safety deposit box key.."

Something wasn't right. She was making small talk but there was definately and underlying problem. Sayid sat back in this chair and watched her. "Perhaps we should see what safe deposit box that key might fit."

Shannon looked out his office window, biting her lip a little. Wishing she could just be normal and well-adjusted like some of her friends. She looked back at him, sitting at the computer.

He watched her. Something was on her mind. He didn't know what but he knew it wasn't good. "Shannon? What is bothering you?"

"I drank most of my bottle of Bailey's today..and that's a pretty big bottle." she said suddenly, getting up to leave the office.

Sayid stood up and reached for her. "Why did you do that? You haven't done that in a while." Sayid asked her.

"if it hadn't been for Claire and Libby you might have been picking me up off the floor when you got home."

She looked back at him, there was pain evident in her eyes.

"Today was not a good day for me.."

Sayid wrapped his arms around her. "Come on." He gently pulled her over to the plush sofa in his office. He sat the two of them down and held her against him. "Alright, now tell me what's wrong? Did you talk with Libby?"

Jack

sawyersmine wrote:

Happy to see that she beat Jack there, Sun put Tae down to bed and she started on dinner. The smells of salmon and dill waifting through the air threatening to welcome him home.

Jack finished all the reports and documents he had to do at his office and decided it was time to take off and head for home. As usual, Joanie was already gone by the time he left.

Jack shut off the lights in his office and locked up. He walked out to the parking garage thinking about the conversation he'd had with his father. This definately was not the end of that situation.

He pulled up in the garage and walked in through the kitchen door. The smells of a delicious dinner floated through the air and seemed to lead him toward the kitchen.

"Mmmm, something sure smells good." He said. Sun was in the kitchen and Jack walked in and put his arms around her. "How was your day honey? Did you have a good time?"

sawyersmine · Hollaback girl

Sawyer

Kate

"James. I dont know why I havent learned to deal with your crankiness when it comes to get-togethers. This was all my fault. You didnt deserve my attitude."

Sawyers face for the first time cracked into a smile. He pulled the blanket that was draped over her chair around her shoulders and remarked...

"Well I dont know about that Freckles, sometimes I like that attitude of yours."

He met her gaze with a smirk and reached down to take her hand.

She scooted a tiny bit closer to him. He looked so ridiculously handsome in the monlight. The shadow of his beard. The blue light in his eyes from the fire.

"Well now that we got that out of the way, what about..."

But his words were smothered by Kates kiss. Neither one of them able to hold back any longer.

She took the initiative and kissed him. Her hand went to his face and she held it while her lips pressed against his. Her heart slammed in her chest and blood raced.

The connection they had was instant. Chemical. The way her lips burned against his like the crackling fire infront of them. A small groan escaped Sawyers mouth as he was taken by surprise. His hand weaving through the back of her hair

She licked his mouth and felt his open, sliding her tongue against his. It had felt like months since they last kissed.

Sawyer bunched up the fabric of Kates top in his fists as the kiss was taken deeper. Her tongue lethal And he wanted more, so so much more.

She slanted over his mouth again and again. It felt so wonderful, she just wanted to melt there and never come back out.

But she pulled back and looked at him, feeling those sparks ignite.

Sawyer looked back at Kate and met her gaze, his eyes burning. The fire burning inside him had already surpassed the one they had going a few feet away.

"I love you." She held back her crazy emotional tears. She couldnt believe that she was so damn emotional. "I do James. I always have. I always will."

His gaze met hers, touched by her declaration. After all theyd been through she could still turn his insides to liquid and he nodded his head knowingly replying quietly...

"I love you too Kate."

He loved her more than words could say. He leaned in to kiss her again unable to get enough. His hunger insatiable and only growing with each touch.

Jerking his chair towards Kates, Sawyer helped pull her overto him. His large hands spread overher thighs as she straddled him. He felt his desire grow inside his pants and brought his hand up to scale her neck and jaw. Drinking in, drinking, and drinking her in more his tongue plunged into her mouth going deeper and deeper with every thrust.

As he kissed her his hands traveled her torso, but greedy for more, the electricity generating between them.

The fire in his eyes matched hers and before he went any further, Sawyer remarked hoarsely...

"Lets make up baby."

Sawyer grabbed the hem of her shirt and pulled it up off over Kates head. And then his lips smashed against hers, a spicy hot liquid combination he remarked undoing her bra from behind as his hands caught her breasts he breathed...

"Were way behind..."

Sawyer smiled against Kates lips, tugging his own shirt off and then he lifted her up and lowered down on their wicker love seat. Yanking Kates pants off, yanking his down frantically, he came back and saw Kates panties. The last item of clothing between them, and Sawyer plunged his hand inside. Feeling her warmth, her wetness, his fingers brushed against her folds and then they curved around the crotch of her panties ripping it out exposing Kate.

His lips brushed against her neck and jaw tenderly and he whispered...

"Got a long way to go to reach that daily quota."

Sawyer smirked back at Kate placing one more burning kiss on her mouth, finally sinking down over her, his hardness parted her folds and then they became one.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Sun

Jack He pulled up in the garage and walked in through the kitchen door. The smells of a delicious dinner floated through the air and seemed to lead him toward the kitchen.

"Mmmm, something sure smells good." He said.

Suns face brightened when she saw Jack and she replied happily...

"Hello Jack!"

Sun was in the kitchen and Jack walked in and put his arms around her. "How was your day honey? Did you have a good time?"

She laughed lightly his arms tickeling her skin and she remarked...

"Yes, Kate and I both picked out our dresses for Alex's party."

She looked back at Jack coyly and remarked..."Dont worry, I hid it well, so you cant see it till tomorrow night."

Sun winked back at him and she asked while turning over the sizzling salmon filets...

"Howabout you darling? How was your day?"

Starlight · Charlie's Angel

Claire

He hurried back to her side and pulled out a chair, 'For you my lady," he said and helped her in the chair and scooted it back in.

"Thank you," she said looking back up at Desmond with a loving smile.

He took out the plates again and filled each one with his pasta. "I think we've had this before," he said as he got his own plate filled and took it over to her, then went over to get out the wine, the table ws already set.

"My creamy penn pasta with creamy cheese dressing ontop...made with wood grilled chicken and bacon and spinach smothered in the same sauce."

"Ah, yes and I love it." Des was an amazing cook, Claire was so lucky.

He grinned and laughed nervously and sat back down at the table. "I do acthope you enjoy this." He poured her wine and then stood up again and grabbed the sparkling cider. Then sat back down again and poured her a fresh glass.

"Oh I know I will." Claire couldn't help but giggle when he brought her wine and then remembering she was pregnant went to get her some sparkling cider.

"Ill most enjoy watching you," he said. "I hope you like Tuscan food, yeah?"

"Yes, I do actually." Claire took a bite of the pasta. "Mmm...Des. It's so good!" She took a bite of the chicken. "You've outdone yourself again." They chatted quietly and discussed this and that and what they were going to do with getting her Mom moved in the next day. After dinner, Claire grinned at Des. "You know what would be wonderful. Will you dance with me?"

Claire tilted her head to the side and smiled. "I'd love to dance with you tonight, just us, in our own living room, holding each other close. I tell you what. I'll wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen since you cooked such a wonderful meal. While I'm doing that, why don't you go get a fire started in the fireplace and put some soft music on and then I'll comejoin you."

Claire cleared the table and rinsed the dishes off before putting them in the dishwasher. Once the kitchen was clean, Claire washed her hands one last time and headed into the living room. She spied Desmsond sitting on the couch in front of the fire. "So, you ready for that dance?"

------------------------

Nikki

Nikki watched Charlie as he thought of a dare. She loved watching the feelings play across his face. He dimmed the lights and her stomach did a flip.

"I dare you to dance for me..." he grabbed her arm and went to look like he was gonna kiss her, but instead of kissing her, his lips rubbed against hers as he spoke, "a lap dance."

Nikki bit her lip and grinned up at him, a sly grin. She touched his arms softly, tracing her way up and back down it. "As you wish."

He slowly backed away, stood up and went to the settee Nikki had placed in front of the window. His arms spread out over the back of the chair and he watched her...ready...
She watched Charlie stand up and walk over to the chair and sit down. His naked body relaxing in the chair with the sunset behind him made her breath catch in her throat. Nikki got out of the bed, wrapping the blanket around her. She looked at Charlie, a spark in her eyes. "Don't move." And then she was off, out into the hall and hurrying down the stairs. Her bare feet slapped the hardwood floor as she ran into the main part of the house. Opening her cd case, she quickly chose the one she wanted and then slipped into the kitchen for something she had in mind for Charlie's dare.

Then just as quickly as she dashed downstairs, she ran back up them. Nikki stopped at the bedroom door, catching her breath. She threw the sheet back on the bed and walked over to the armoire and put the cd in. Santana's "Into the Night" featuring Chad Kroeger began to fill the quiet air of the bedroom. She winked at Charlie and walked over to where he sat, swaying her hips softly. As the drums and sultry guitar riffs began to swell and fill the room, Nikki danced, just out of Charlie's reach, hips swaying to the beat, giving him a good look at her naked body.

As Chad's smokey voice joined the music, Nikki turned around with her back facing Charlie, swaying her hips as she lowered herself onto the edge of his lap.

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell,
It was love from above, that could save me from hell.
She had fire in her soul it was easy to see,
How the devil himself could be pulled out of me,
There were drums in the air as she started to dance...

Arms raised above her head, Nikki arched her back, pushing her breasts up and out as she arched back and wrapped her arms around Charlie's neck. She turned her head just enough to capture his mouth. She kissed him, feeling the heat from his naked body against her own. She kept kissing him as her body rubbed against his. Her arms untangled from around his neck as she pulled away from him and gripped his hips, scooting herself all the way back in his lap and spreading her legs to give herself more balance.

She rubbed against him to the beat of the music, feeling herself grow wetter and his cock growing harder against her backside. She pulled away and stood up, eyes hazed over. Nikki danced again, swaying from side to side, just out of his reach again and then stepped closer, planting a knee on either side of him in the chair. She knelt over him, her breats at about eye level. Her hands went to his face, tipping it up as she leaned down to kiss him, her body never stopping moving.

She groaned into his mouth as her hands ran through his hair. She wanted him so damn bad, but it was his turn and she was determined that he get his dare. As the music died out, Nikki broke the kiss and looked down at him. "It's your turn, Charlie," she whispered in his ear. "And I know you're going to pick dare, so..."

Nikki stood up and walked back over to the armoire. She brought back over the can of whipped cream she had pulled out of the fridge when she went downstairs. "I dare you to make me a whipped cream bikini." She walked back over and handed him the can. "And then lick it off." A wicked grin crossed Nikki's face as he took the can from her.
