AN: This is the first in a series of one shots that take place between chapter 50 and 51 of my other

helpful to read that first!! As always,
please read and review!! My muse has
been temperamental lately and she needs some cheering up!!
Valentine’s Day
Special Agent Corinne Reid groaned as the alarm clock blared
in her ear. She slowly dragged herself
out of bed, cursing what ever brain cells she had left for convincing her to go
out the previous night with Stella, Lindsay and Lydia. She wasn’t hung over, but getting only three
hours of sleep made her grumpy.
She walked into the bathroom, rubbing her eyes to get the
sleep out of them and glanced at herself in the mirror. Damn. I look like shit today!
Sighing, she got into the shower and laid her head against
the cool time. The temperature
difference between the tile and the hot water was helping to alleviate her
headache. It wasn’t until halfway out of
her shower that she realized what day it was.
It was Valentine’s Day.
Cory smiled and put a little more effort into getting
ready. If everything went as planned,
she and Danny were going out to dinner that night. She smiled as she got ready. She grabbed the clothes that she had put out
the previous night, put her make-up in her briefcase and walked out the door. She put everything into her car and was just
buckling her seat belt when her phone rang.
Cory smiled when she saw the number.
“Hey, chica. How are the kids?”
Nicole groaned on the other end of the phone. “Trust me to have kids that seem to know when
Mom and Dad are going to get some alone time!!
They’re doing a little better.
Kim has an ear infection, Doug a cold and Samantha has bronchitis. Why did they all have to get sick at the same time? What did I do to deserve this punishment?!”
Cory chuckled lightly.
“You had kids. You know something
like this always happens. I’m just sorry
that you had to cancel your trip. I was
looking forward to seeing you up here.”
Nicole just sighed again.
“I know. Maybe during the
summer. Or you know? You can come down and visit me? Would that be such a bad thing?”
Cory pretended to be offended. “I have an important…” She trailed off as Nicole snorted into the
phone. “Alright. I’ll try to make it down before Lindsay and
Don’s wedding. Speaking of which, I know
what I’m doing for the bachelorette party.”
“What?”
Cory smiled this time.
“What did we do for your party?”
Nicole began to giggle.
“A toy party? Count me in!
When are you going to have it?”
“Early May. That way
the um...goods have a chance to arrive.”
“That’s just too perfect!
Has Danny seen your new tattoo yet?”
“Nope. I’m going to surprise him with it tonight.”
Nicole gasped in shock.
“Are you crazy? You better
remember your CPR! You are wearing…” Nicole trailed off.
Cory nodded.
“Yup. I’m wearing the satin
corset, with the backseam stockings under the red dress with the 4” stilettos.”
Nicole couldn’t help herself. She started laughing. “Please get me a picture of his face when he
sees you! I just have this image of the
cartoon wolf with his tongue rolling out of his mouth and his eyes jumping out
of his head!”
Cory laughed. “That’s
the image I’m going for.”
“Frederick’s. Right?”
“Of course! Where else can you get scandalously sexy
underwear? Listen, I’m at work now, so
I’ll call you tomorrow.”
“Bye!”
Cory hung up the phone, still laughing at the picture of
Danny she had in her head. She grabbed
her things and walked into the building.
(Crime Lab)
Danny was working on processing the evidence in a brutal
rape case. He was hoping to complete the
case today, but wasn’t feeling lucky. He
smiled to himself, letting himself become distracted by the thoughts of the
romantic dinner he had planned for Cory.
He still had that dopey grin on his face when Hawkes walked in.
“Why are you grinning, Messer?”
Danny looked up.
“Just thinking about tonight and the alone time I will have with
Cory. Speaking of which, have you asked Lydia
out yet?”
Hawkes smirked and shook his head. “Yeah.
Our first date is tonight. What
the hell was I thinking having a first date on Valentine’s Day?”
Danny laughed. “I
don’t know, man. That just seems like
it’s asking for a lot. You know women
expect the moon on this day!”
Flack walked in just as Danny said that. “Complaining about having to plan something
for Valentine’s Day, Messer?”
Danny just rolled his eyes.
“Naw. I was just picking on
Hawkes for having his first date with Lydia
today.”
Flack rolled his eyes.
“Hawkes. Why would you do that? You and her have been talking for
months. Why wait until today?”
Hawkes just looked at both of them. “Unlike you cavemen, I actually have a romantic streak that I like to use with
women. It just seemed right.”
Both Flack and Danny laughed at that. Finally, Danny caught his breath. “Man, you have it bad!”
Hawkes just ignored them and began to help Danny process
what little evidence that they had.
Meanwhile, Stella was working on a robbery case down the
hall. She looked down at her pager when
it went off. She was expecting it to be
DNA and was surprised when she saw that it was Mac. The page simply said, “Meet me in my office.”
Drawing her eyebrows together, she turned to walk down to
his office. When she got there, she
noticed that Mac seemed a little nervous.
“Mac? You okay?”
Mac looked up at her.
He smiled a tiny bit. “I’m
fine. I have a question for you.”
Stella stared at him.
“Okay. What?”
Mac looked a little nervous.
“Um. Would you like to have
dinner with me tonight?”
Stella shook her head.
She was in shock. “Like a
date?” She could see that Mac was
getting even more nervous, so she decided to spare him a little bit. “Sure.
I don’t have any plans and wasn’t looking forward to spending
Valentine’s Day alone. I’d love to.”
Mac told her that he would pick her up at eight, at her
apartment.
Smiling, Stella walked out of his office. She felt like she was floating on air.
(FBI Headquarters)
Lydia
paced nervously in Cory’s office. Cory
watched her for about fifteen minutes before she couldn’t take it anymore. “Lydia. Stop pacing.
Geez! You’re making me nervous!”
Cory glanced at the woman.
She was evidently of Latin descent, with dusky skin and long straight
black hair. Her hair wasn’t as long as
Cory’s but it was still beautiful.
She looked at Cory.
“I’m sorry. But…My first date
with Sheldon on Valentine’s Day? I’m in shock and speechless. I…” Lydia
trailed off and began pacing again.
Cory smiled. She
remembered the nervousness of a first date.
To calm her nerves before her first date with Danny, she had completely
disassembled and cleaned her gun.
“Look. Lydia. Hawkes is a great guy. I think it’s romantic. Where are y’all going?”
Lydia
bit her lip. “Dinner. I don’t know after that. He’s going to pick me up from here.”
Cory nodded. “What
are you going to wear? What time is he
picking you up?”
Lydia
smiled. “I brought a nice dress to
change into and he’ll be here at seven.
When’s Danny going to pick you up?”
Cory felt her smile grow.
“Seven. I wonder if they are
going to come together. I happen to know
that Danny likes to drive my car. What
is it with men and cars?”
Lydia
laughed as she rolled her eyes.
“Cory. You have a Beamer. A Z4 at that!
Of course he wants to drive it.”
Cory giggled. “I
think he prefers to see me drive it. He
said something about there was something about a woman driving a stick
shift.” Cory rolled her eyes. “I mean, come one. Of course I know how to drive a
standard. I had to learn before my mom
would let me taking the driving test!”
Lydia
nodded her understanding. “I think he’s
just floored by how well you handle the...um...stick.” Lydia
couldn’t keep the laughter in any longer.
Cory felt heat creep into her cheeks. “Oh, you did not just go there! I’m
shocked…” Cory tried to stifle her
laughter, but was unsuccessful. She
began laughing so hard that tears were coming out of her eyes. “Oh, God!
We need to get our minds out of the gutter. It’s a fun place to visit, but living there
is getting in my way of having a real life.”
Lydia
tried to get control of herself. “It’s six
o’clock. I’d better go get
ready.”
“I’ll come with you.
It’s going to take me a while to create the look I want.”
The woman grabbed their clothes and make-up and made their way
to the bathroom to change. Cory let Lydia
change first, to take time to plug in her curling iron.
When Lydia
walked out of the stall, Cory felt her eyes widen in amazement. “Wow.
You’re gorgeous. That dress is
very dramatic.”
Lydia’s
dress was a deep burgundy, almost black and floor-length. It had three-quarter sleeves that were fitted
to the elbow and flowed around her lower arms.
The neckline plunged down, exposing a bit of cleavage. To go with it, she had matching stiletto
heals that added at least three inches to her five-six frame.
“Really? You don’t think it’s too much?”
“No. Sheldon’s tongue’s
going to be wagging when he sees you.
Where did you get it?”
Lydia
shrugged. “Neiman’s. In an after Christmas sale a couple of years
ago. This makes the second time I’ve
worn it. How should I do my make-up?”
Cory pursed her lips as she thought about it. “Dramatic eyes, natural lips. That would be best. I’d better go get ready.”
Cory quickly got dressed in the corset and matching G-string. She carefully put on her red dress over
it. She found she couldn’t quite zip it
all the way up, so she put on her pumps and walked out of the stall. “Lydia? Can you zip me up?”
“Sure.” Lydia
turned to look at Cory. “Oh, my. That’s an amazing dress! Are you trying to give Danny a heart attack?”
Cory smiled mischievously.
“Not with the dress. What I have
on underneath, maybe a little.”
Lydia
raised her eyebrows. “What do you have
on underneath?”
Cory smiled like the Cheshire cat. “A corset and matching G-string from Frederick’s.” She turned and Lydia
quickly zipped the dress up the rest of the way. Cory dress was a sleeveless fitted dress with
a heart-shaped bodice. It was also floor
length, with a slit up to mid-thigh on her left leg.
Lydia
continued to admire her dress. “Where
did you get yours?”
Cory thought a moment.
“I don’t remember the name of the store.
But it was in the Galleria in Dallas. I just saw it, right before I moved here, and
knew that I had to have it.”
Cory turned and walked to the counter. She tested curling iron and found it the
right temperature. She pulled her hair
back into a pony tail, leaving a couple of sections to frame her face. She curled her hair so that it was wavy,
both in the pony tail and the sections framing her face.
Both women quickly did their make-up. Both chose to do dramatic eyes, Cory’s in
earth tones and Lydia
with matching burgundy eye shadow.
Cory chose a red lipstick to match her dress and Lydia
just used lip gloss. When they were done
applying the make-up, both women dabbed a little perfume on their wrists and
neck. Cory checked the time at that
point. “Ten minutes to spare! And men think that all women take forever to
get ready!”
Lydia
nodded. “Just because some women can’t
organize their time, do they have to blame all of us?”
The two women laughed as they walked back to Cory’s
office. The few remaining employees
there turned and stared at them. Some of
the men greeted them with wolf whistles.
They just let the praise flow off of them.
Once they had gotten everything packed back up, Cory’s
assistant Dean came in to tell them that the guys were there. Cory told him to let them in.
(Hawkes and Lydia)
When Hawkes walked into Cory’s office, he thought his jaw
was going to come unhinged. From Danny’s
quick breath in, he obviously felt the same way. Hawkes glanced at Cory and realized that she
had pulled out all of the stops for Danny.
When he got a good look at Lydia,
he thought his heart had stopped beating.
“Lydia,
you look gorgeous. I feel under
dressed.”
Lydia
smiled at Hawkes. He was dressed in a
conservative black suit, with a white shirt and a matching blue and white
tie. “You underestimate yourself. You look absolutely handsome. Let me get my coat and bag and I’ll be ready
to leave.”
She turned to look at Cory and saw Danny ogling her
friend. She smiled briefly at Cory. “See you tomorrow. Have fun tonight.”
Cory nodded.
When Lydia
walked out of the office, Hawkes offered him his arm. She took it and then was surprised when he
gave her a single red rose. “This rose
pales in comparison to your beauty tonight.”
“Thank you, Sheldon.”
As they exited the building, Lydia
found a black limo waiting for them.
Hawkes smiled, bowed a little as he opened the door and said, “Your
carriage awaits, madam.”
Lydia
smiled. “Why thank you, kind sir.” She slid into the car and settled into the
plush leather seats. “This is amazing. Where are we going for dinner?”
Hawkes smiled.
“Aureole.”
Lydia
gasped. “Sheldon, you didn’t have
to.” She knew how expensive that Aureole
was.
Hawkes looked at. “You’re right. I didn’t have to. I wanted to.”
Lydia
just shook her head and leaned back to enjoy the ride with Hawkes’ arm around
her. When they got out of the limo, he
again offered her his arm. He was being
the perfect gentleman. He led her into
the restaurant and they were seated at a small, intimate table.
The waiter was prompt in greeting them and offered them a
wine list. Both chose a Pino Noir wine
to go with their meal. After pursuing
the menu, the both decided on the Farmer’s Market Heirloom Tomato Salad for
their appetizer. Lydia
chose the Roasted Pepper and Goat Cheese Ravioli for her main course and Hawkes
chose the Fine Herb Crusted Salmon.
With their orders placed, they began to talk. Hawkes looked at her. “Where are you from?”
Lydia
looked at him. “My parents are from Barcelona,
but I was born in New York. We traveled back to Spain
every summer. My dad owned his own
business, so he had the ability to take the entire summer off. My mom taught Spanish in a school in Harlem. What about you?”
“I’m from here, too.
My dad is a doctor and my mom a veterinarian. It was a given that I would be a doctor. Although the big fight was would I be an
animal or people doctor. I finally chose
to be a surgeon.”
“How did you end up a CSI?”
Hawkes smiled and refrained from answering until the salads
were placed in front of them. “I worked
at Trinity hospital for about five years after med school. It just got to be too hard not being able to
save everyone. So I became a medical
examiner. That was fine, but I found
myself wanting to be the one who help to put the criminals behind bars. So last year, I requested a transfer and it
was granted.”
They continued to talk throughout the dinner. Lydia
telling Hawkes what it was like to spend the summer in Spain
and Hawkes talking about growing up in New York.
When their main courses were served, Hawkes glanced at her
and realized how lucky he was to have found someone like her. “So why the FBI?”
Lydia
thought about it. “I knew as a little
girl that I wanted to work in law enforcement.
So I went to college and got my degree in political science. I started looking around and just fell into
the FBI. I’ve worked there for ten years
now. I love my job, although…” She trailed off as she thought about how
Travis had sold out his country.
Hawkes picked up on her hesitation. “Although what?”
“When Travis was identified as the mole, I almost quit. I was just so disillusioned at that
point. Thankfully, Cory was there and we
had a long talk about it and she convinced me to stay. I’m glad she did. I can’t imagine having another job.”
Just as they finished their main course, their waiter
appeared like magic. “Would you like to
look at the dessert menu?”
Hawkes nodded.
Lydia
looked at him. “Sheldon? I don’t think I can hold anymore.”
Hawkes looked at her and smiled. “Trust me.
We can share.” He looked over the
menu and pointed to the Tasting of Chocolate dessert. “Can we have this, but with two forks?”
“Of course, sir.”
When they were done, Hawkes discreetly paid the bill and
ushered Lydia
out of the restaurant. They got back
into the limo and Hawkes instructed the driver to go to Lydia’s
apartment.
Once there, he insisted on walking her to the door.
Once at the door she turned to him. “Sheldon.
I had a wonderful time tonight.”
Hawkes nodded. “Me,
too. Can we do this again some time?”
Lydia
nodded. “I’d love that. Although, maybe something a
little more low key, next time.”
“Sure.” Hawkes leaned
down and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek.
“I’ll call you in a couple of days.
Good night.”
Lydia
smiled. “Good night.” She walked into her apartment and gently
closed the door.
(Mac and Stella)
Stella found it very hard to concentrate on closing her case
the remainder of the day after Mac asked her out. She was mentally going through her wardrobe
to see what she could were. He’s seen me in the black dress, the green
dress...Hmm. I wonder about the purple
dress. I don’t think that I’ve worn that
around him before. Wait. Should I dress up or is this going to be a
low key event. Damn. I’m the one person that knows him and I can’t
even think straight. What the hell is
wrong with me?
Stella took a break from her mental soliloquy. She was intently printing a piece of glass
from the robbery when she felt the hair stand up on the back of her neck. Furrowing her eyebrows, she turned and saw
Mac staring at her. He nodded his head
and then touched his watch. Confused she
looked at the time and realized that it was almost seven.
She nodded her understanding and got everything ready to
leave. She left ten minutes later and
broke her record for getting home quickly.
She didn’t allow herself time to think, she just got ready and had five
minutes to spare. She was trying to calm
her beating heart when there was a knock on her door.
Inhaling deeply, she grabbed her coat and purse and went to
the door. She smiled as she saw Mac
standing there. He was wearing a dark
suit with a blue shirt and tie. She
smiled nervously.
Mac stood outside of the door. When Stella answered, he forgot to
breath. She looks so beautiful. Why did
I push her away for so long? That dress…
He looked at her dress, a simple purple sheath that ended
just above her knees. It had long
sleeves and a simple scoop neckline. She
was wearing a simple silver chain necklace to go with it. He smiled.
“Hi.”
Stella noticed his appraisal of her. She felt a blush creep into her cheeks. “Hi.
So where are we going?”
Mac smiled. He like
the fact that she spoke her mind. It
reminded him a little of Claire. “It’s a
surprise.” With that he offered her his
arm and led her out of the building, to his waiting car.
Once in the car, he deftly wove through the traffic. They talked about common place things,
nothing to personal. Both were unsure of
how to proceed. Of how the evening would
change their working relationship.
Stella looked up when Mac stopped. “Mac?
Why are we at your apartment?”
Mac just smiled.
“Surprise. I thought that this
would be more comfortable for us both.”
Stella nodded her understanding and waited for Mac to open
her door. He did and offered her his arm
again.
Stella took his arm gratefully and allowed him to lead her
into the apartment building. He walked
her to his apartment and then nodded, as he opened the door, for her to precede
him.
She walked into the apartment and found it lit by soft
candlelight. She could smell the spices
in the air, a promise of the elegant meal to follow.
Mac exhaled nervously as he took her coat, hanging it in the
closet. “I cooked dinner for us. Pot roast with baby carrots, pan fried
potatoes and a salad. I’ll get you a
glass of wine.”
Stella followed Mac into the kitchen and noticed that the
table was set in an intimate setting.
She sniffed the air, appreciatively.
“It smells good. Thanks,” she
said as she accepted a glass of white wine.
She took a small sip. “This is
good wine. So…” She trailed off, a little unsure of herself.
Mac felt her unease.
“So…Why don’t you sit down and I’ll get dinner.” Why is
this so hard? I feel like I’m fourteen
and this is my first date.
Stella accepted his offer and watched him putter around the
kitchen. Why am I so nervous? This isn’t
like it’s my first date. She was
arguing with herself again. Then her
heart decided to butt in. It’s Mac.
That’s why this is so hard.
She decided to confront her problem straight on. “Mac?
What made you decide to actually ask me out?”
Mac was expecting the question but still had not figured out
the answer for himself. “I don’t know,
Stell. I just couldn’t not ask you out
anymore.” He turned to her, unaware of
the emotion showing in his eyes. “It was
hell when Flack was injured. But you
stayed with me. Why?”
Stella looked taken aback by his question. “Because you needed me. You didn’t need to sit at his bedside,
alone. I knew that there was something
else going on with you. Then you told me
about Beirut. And I understood.”
“That’s just it. You
understood me without me saying anything.
I think that was a turning point for me.
It made me consider all that I had lost by keeping you at arms
length. When you were unconscious, after
you had killed Frankie, it was probably a good thing. I wanted to find a way to resurrect him and
kill him myself.”
Stella felt a shadow come over her at the mention of
Frankie. Then she comprehended exactly
what Mac had said. “You would kill
someone who hurt me?”
“Without a doubt and with no guilt.”
Stella felt tears come to her eyes. “Wow.
I had no idea you cared so much.”
Mac paused. “Neither
did I. But I don’t want to lose
you. I don’t know what I would do
without you.”
Stella seemed to sense the tension in Mac and got up. She walked to him and put her arms around
him. “Mac? I’m not going anywhere.”
Mac looked up, looked into her eyes and gave into
temptation. He leaned in and pressed his
lips to hers, lightly. She responded by
wrapping her arms around his neck and drawing him closer to her. We fit
together like a puzzle, they both thought.
Mac let his hands come up to her face. He drew back slightly. “Stell?
I don’t want to move to fast. I
want this to be perfect.”
Stella smiled.
“You’re right. Let’s eat dinner
and then you can drive me home.” She was
a little relieved. She didn’t want to
screw this up either.
(Flack and Lindsay)
When Flack and Lindsay left their apartment on Valentine’s
morning, Flack made sure that he had left something behind. “Linds? I’ll meet you at the car; I left my notebook
on the table. I’ll be right back.”
“Sure, Don. Don’t
take too long.”
Flack grinned as Lindsay got in the elevator. Quickly he made his way to his neighbor’s
apartment and knocked on the door. He
thought about the surprise that he had planned for Lindsay. When the door opened his was staring at Mrs.
Augustine. She was a sprightly
grandmother who treated him like one of his grandchildren.
“Donald!” she squealed as she gave him a hug. “Are you and that wonderful young woman of
yours leaving for the day?”
“Yes, ma’am. Here is the key to the apartment. You’ll set everything up for me, right?”
She clucked her tongue at him. “Of course, dear. This is so much like what my Harry did for me
one year. That was the best Valentine’s
Day. You run along. Go catch the bad men, so I can sleep safely
at night. I’ll make sure everything is
ready for when you get home.”
Flack gave her a conspiratorial wink and a quick hug. “You’re the best, Nana. I don’t know what I would do without you.”
“Pish-posh. You would do just fine, Donald. Now run along before she gets suspicious.”
“Yes, ma’am.
Flack quickly made his way to the car, where Lindsay was
waiting for him. The drove to work, with
the normal fight over the radio station.
He liked to listen to the morning shows, but she wanted music. She won today and they listened to the latest
rock on the station.
When they got to work, they quickly kissed good-bye and went
their separate ways.
Later that afternoon, Lindsay was watching Danny try to
process the evidence from the rape case.
She smiled when she saw how distracted he was. She was helping Stella on the robbery case
and was just headed to DNA to get her results when she saw Flack, Danny and
Hawkes laughing in the lab. Curious, she
chose a route to the lab to see if she could hear what they were saying.
Unfortunately, she only caught the end of the conversation,
with Hawkes saying that he was the one with the romantic streak. Oh,
Hawkes. If you only knew! She smiled as she continued to walk down the
hall to DNA.
A couple of hours later, her shift was over and she decided
to get ready. Flack had told her that
she could dress up but to be comfortable for her surprise. She smiled when she was getting dressed. I
wonder if he’ll like what Cory helped me pick out at Frederick’s.
She put on her dress, a basic black dress that hugged her
curves and put on the perfume that he liked so much. She slipped her feet into a comfortable pair
of pumps, not knowing if they would be walking.
Then she walked over to the mirror, putting the finishing touches on her
make-up. She finished just as Stella
walked in.
“Hey Stella. Do you have plans tonight?”
Stella grinned at her.
“Nope. Just a date with Ben and
Jerry. It’s nice to be able to go home
and relax.”
Lindsay laughed. “I
wish I knew what Don had planned. He’s
being very tight lipped about tonight. I
just don’t know if he can top the proposal on top of the Empire
State Building.”
Stella had a twinkle in her eye as she responded. “You don’t give him enough credit. Trust me.
Tonight will be memorable.”
“Thanks, Stella. I’m
going to go meet him now.” Lindsay
grabbed her coat and walked out of the locker room. She saw Flack waiting for her, dressed in a
black morning suit with a dark purple shirt and a matching tie.
He greeted her with a small kiss and the led her out of the
building. When they pulled up to their
apartment building, Lindsay was confused.
“Don? What are we doing home?”
Flack just grinned and helped her out of the car. He had called Mrs. Augustine when he was
waiting on Lindsay to get dressed. He
knew everything was set up for her. When
he opened the door, he allowed Lindsay to walk in first.
Lindsay gasped as she gazed at the apartment. “How...When…What?”
Flack smiled. It was
very rare to make Lindsay speechless and he enjoyed the feeling. “I think I’ll take those in order. Mrs. Augustine. During our shift, today. Happy Valentine’s Day.”
Lindsay gazed around at the apartment. On every available surface, there were white
candles. Soft music was coming out of
the stereo and an enticing smell emanated from the kitchen. She looked at Flack and threw her arms around
him. “This is perfect, Don. I love it!”
Flack’s smile got even brighter. She leaned down and kissed her with a
passion. “I thought that you would like
it. I mentioned the idea to Mrs.
Augustine and she went nuts for it. She
offered to get everything ready for me.
That’s why I “forgot” my notebook this morning. I had to give her the key. Come on.
I’m starving. Let’s eat!”
Lindsay laughed.
Typical Flack. Always
hungry. She didn’t mind though. She was starving. She had not had a chance to eat since
breakfast. She walked into the kitchen
and her jaw dropped again. The table was
set with fine china and had a single red rose in a vase made from a wine
bottle. “Wow. She thought of everything. Remind me to thank her in the morning!”
Flack went to the stove and got their food out. Mrs. Augustine had made spaghetti, Caesar
salad and garlic bread. The took their
time with dinner. Feeding each other
bites of the pasta. Every time Lindsay
took another bite, Flack had to shift in his chair. His desire was beginning to overwhelm
him. “Linds?”
“Hmm?”
“Are you really hungry?”
Lindsay smiled a seductive smile. “Not for food.”
Flack almost overturned the table, he got up so fast. He pulled Lindsay fast too him and kissed her
with a passion.
She groaned as he changed the angle of the kiss, to bring her
to greater heights of pleasure. Then she
felt him unzipping her dress. She
stepped back to him, letting it pool at her feet.
“God, Linds. What are
you wearing?”
Lindsay smiled at his reaction. The bra and panty set was of sheer black
material and so small it might as well been non-existent. “You like?”
His only response was to sweep her off her feet and head to
the bedroom. He stopped in the threshold
of the room and stared in amazement. Red
and white candles burned romantically throughout the room and hundreds of rose
petals were spread across the bed.
Lindsay looked in the room in amazement. “Wow.
This is…I don’t have words.”
Flack looked down at her.
“I didn’t plan this part. Nana
must have done it for me.” He got a huge
grin on his face. “Let’s not disappoint
her.”
Lindsay murmured her agreement as his lips came crashing
down on hers again.
Don laid her down careful on the rose covered bed, pausing
to pursue her body with his eyes. Her
chest was heaving from the kisses that they had shared.
Lindsay saw the evidence of his desire straining against the
material of his pants and decided to take control. She raised herself to her knees and grabbed
his shirt to pull him closer to her.
Flack was startled and fell onto the bed as he lost his
balance. He looked up at her, a
question in his eyes, but she ignored him.
Lindsay quickly removed his shirt and began to place kisses
all over his body. She paid attention to
the particular places that caused a reaction.
She started as his ear and lightly traced the outer shell with her
tongue. Gasping in surprise, she felt
his fingers move against her mound, raising her desire.
Flack felt Lindsay’s gasp of surprise and it sent a
shockwave through his body. His hips
bucked involuntarily, causing him to stop his ministrations, to try to gain
control back.
With a throaty laugh, Lindsay realized the war that was
going on inside of him. She trailed her
lips down his jawbone and took a moment to suck on the point of his pulse. He bucked his hips in response as his hands
moved from her to the bed sheet, which he was gripping so hard that his
knuckles were white.
She stopped suckling for a moment and blew a breath of warm
air across the wet skin. Goosebumps rose
on his body. She then continued her
journey southward and began to play with his nipples. She felt his breathing speed up as she paid
special attention to them.
Flack felt his eyes roll back at the pleasure he was
receiving. He felt her lips graze his
abdominal muscles and another part of him jumped at the sensation. I don’t
know if I can take this anymore, he thought as she ripped another groan
from his throat. Then he became
completely still as her hands began to work on his belt buckle. He sighed in relief as he was freed from his
boxers.
Lindsay smiled up at him.
“Wow, Don. Someone is certainly
excited.”
Flack rolled his eyes.
“Lindsay? Are you trying to kill
me?”
Lindsay just laughed as she grasped the base of his erection
in her hand. “What a way to die!” she
said as she licked him from his base to tip.
Sensing that he was close, she kept a firm grip on his base, denying him
the release that he craved.
“Please…” he begged after feeling himself come closer and
closer to the edge.
“Not yet, Don,” she said in an authoritative voice. She slowed her efforts, allowing him time to
breath. Once he was way from the
precipice, she quickly stood and removed her panties. Not giving him a chance to move, she
straddled him, encompassing him in her wet heat.
Flack arched his back, wanting to pick the pace back up, but
she just urged him to sit up. Once
sitting, he felt her legs wrap around his waist, hugging him. Her hips made small rocking movements, which
drove him crazy. He looked into her eyes
and saw the effect that controlling the pace was having on her. Her eyes were filled with lust. Flack groaned inwardly and quickly moved to
divest her of her bra.
Lindsay threw her head back when Flack cupped her breasts,
lightly stroking them. He circled her
nipples with his thumbs, applying pressure, but indirectly. She whimpered lightly at the teasing pace,
but did not urge him on. Soon her
labored breathing began to come in short pants and he traced the same path with
his tongue, as his hand moved in between them, to stroke her clit.
“Oh…” she panted in her desire. “Yes!
Right there! Oh, God…Don!” she
screamed as her orgasm washed over her.
Flack felt her walls contract around him and that threw him
over the edge as well. “Lindsay,” he
grunted as his orgasm crashed over him.
Exhausted, he lay back down on the bed, too tired to move.
(Danny and Cory)
When Danny walked into Cory’s office, he felt like he had
swallowed his tongue. He actually had to
remind himself to breathe. Oh…wow…Umm…
Cory smiled knowingly, pleased with his reaction. Neither of them really paid attention when
Hawkes and Lydia
left.
Cory turned and pointed the bouquet of red roses sitting on
her desk. “Thanks for the roses. They’re beautiful.”
Danny smiled and managed to kick start his brain again. “Not nearly as beautiful as you. You are stunning. I’m regretting the dinner reservations that I
have. I just want to take you home.”
Cory blushed a little. “There will be plenty of time for that.” She turned and grabbed a velvet cloak that
she had brought with her. She quickly
put it and her gloves on. She grabbed
her small purse and looked at Danny.
“Ready to go?”
“Hell, yeah.” He gave her a playful leer.
Cory rolled her eyes.
“That’s not what I meant. Are you
ready to go to dinner?”
Danny laughed. “Oh,
that. Yeah, I’m more than ready.”
She took his arm and they walked out of the building. She paused for a second when they got to her
car. “Here are the keys. Please treat my baby with the respect that
she deserves.” She handed him the car
keys and got in when he opened the door for her.
He adjusted the driver’s seat then got in. “Are you sure you want me to drive?”
Cory rolled her eyes.
“You seriously think that I’m going to drive in these heels? Give me a break. Plus, I know that you like to drive my car.”
Danny grinned. He
loved driving the sports car. “That I
do. Thanks.” He also knew how rare it was for her to let
anyone else drive her new car. He
maneuvered the car like a pro and soon they were at their destination.
Cory looked around in curiosity. “Where are we?”
Danny winked at her.
“The best kept secret of New York. Francesca’s. It’s a small family owned Italian restaurant
with the best food outside of Italy. It’s owned by friends of my mom.”
Danny led her into the small, intimate restaurant. An older Italian woman greeted them. “Daniel Messer! Bambino.
It’s been too long since you’ve been
here!” She gave him a huge hug and
kissed him on both cheeks. “It this the
young lady that you’ve been talking so much about?”
“Yes, ma’am. Francesca, I’d like you to meet my
girlfriend, Corrine. Cory, this is
Francesca. She’s like a second mother to
me. Kept me on the straight and narrow,
most of the time.”
Cory looked at the woman, liking her immediately. “Please to meet you, ma’am.”
Francesca gave her the same treatment she had given Danny.
“Please, call me Frankie. Let me take
your wrap.” She quickly grabbed Danny’s
coat and Cory’s cloak and gave them to the maitre-d, who hung them up. “Please follow me.”
She led them to a small corner in the back, surrounded by
plants. On the table there was a candle
and a vase that had two roses in it.
“I’ll bring you both a glass of wine and may I suggest the Fettuccine
Alfredo? It’s excellent tonight.”
Cory nodded as she sat down.
“Wow. This place is amazing! It’s so romantic.”
Danny smiled.
“Yeah. I love it here. Frankie is the one who taught me how to
cook. It kept me out of trouble after
the thing with Tanglewood. She gave me
lessons in how to win a woman’s heart while teaching me how to de-bone a
chicken. The amazing thing is that
everything stuck with me.”
Danny reached across the table and took Cory’s hand in
his. “I have a present for you.” He reached into the inside pocket of his
jacket and pulled out a jewelry box.
“Danny? You didn’t
have to.”
“Just open it, Cory.”
“Okay. Okay.” She extracted her hand from his and opened
the box. Inside was a silver
locket. She looked up at him with a
question in her eyes.
“Open it.”
She opened it and saw two pictures of them together. “Wow.
I love it. Are you going to
astound me anymore tonight?”
Danny shook his head.
“Not in public.”
Cory just laughed as Frankie brought them a couple of salads
to start off with. They talked though
the antipasto. Mostly about how she was
adjusting to life in the Big Apple.
When it came time for the main course, both were feeling
very mellow. They had taken Frankie’s
suggestion and had the fettuccine. Danny
watched for her reaction to the first bite.
She groaned slightly once she got a taste. “Oh my.
This is the best Alfredo that I’ve had in…well, ever! I’ve so got to get this recipe. My Alfredo sauce never comes out this good!”
Danny smiled. “I have
the recipe and would be more than willing to teach you how to cook it. Somehow, I don’t think that Frankie would
mind.”
Frankie just happened to be walking by at that moment. “What you I not mind, young man?”
Danny grinned sheepishly.
“If I have Cory your Alfredo recipe.
I promise that she can’t mess it up.
You should taste her lasagna.
It’s just as good as yours is.”
Frankie looked at her.
“You don’t look Italian.”
Cory grinned. “No
ma’am. I’m from Texas. I just love to cook and Italian is my
specialty.”
Frankie looked at her.
“I’ll have to taste your lasagna first, but if it’s as good as Danny
says, the recipe is yours.”
“Thanks, Frankie.”
“Are you guys ready for dessert?” Both nodded at that.
Frankie brought them out a slice of tiramisu each.
Cory smiled. It was
her favorite dessert. When she tasted
the first bite, she thought she had died and gone to heaven. “Oh…dear Lord this is amazing!”
Danny watched as a look of pure bliss passed over her
face. It made him think of other things
that caused her bliss and he quickly felt the need to get home quickly.
Cory saw the flash of heat that came into his eyes just as
she finished dessert. “Danny?”
“Hmm?”
“How fast do you think we can make it back to my
apartment?” She gave him a sultry look.
Danny quickly paid the bill and all but dragged her out to
the car, where he pinned her against the door and kissed her deeply. He came back up for air and looked in her
eyes. “I think I can break a few speed
laws.”
Cory laughed as she got into the car. Good
Lord. What’s he going to do when he sees
the tattoo?
In record time they were back at Cory’s apartment. Danny got impatient in the elevator and began
to kiss her neck, right where her pulse was.
He could feel her heart speed up and pound in rhythm to his. When the elevator doors opened, he waited
rather impatiently for her to unlock her door.
Once inside, he began to discard her cloak and his jacket
and tie.
Cory took a moment to catch her breath. “Danny?
Follow me.”
She led him to the bedroom, where she began to do a
seductive strip-tease for him.
When Danny saw the dress drop from her body, he groaned at
the sight of the corset. I’ve died and gone to heave. Help me, she wearing a garter!
Cory turned slightly, so that her right hip was facing
him. Danny noticed a spot of color on
her hip that wasn’t there they last time they had made love. “What’s that?”
Cory smiled. “Why
don’t you some over and see?”
Intrigued and aroused Danny complied. He bent down to get a better look at the new
tattoo. It was a heart with a gothic C
and D intertwined in it. Around the
heart were the words, Amor Vincit Omnia.
“Amor Vincit Omnia?” Danny looked up at her.
Cory smiled down to him. “It’s Latin.
Love conquers all. I thought it
was appropriate. You helped me conquer
my demons.”
Danny felt a rush of love flow
through his body. “When did you get
this? I mean, I see you naked a lot.”
Cory laughed. “You haven’t in the last week?”
Danny gasped. “Were you lying about it being that time of
the month?”
Cory shook her head. “Nope.
It was just convenient. Now are
you going to stare at that all night? Or
are you going to make my wildest dreams come true?”
Danny smirked as he began to
remove the corset from her body. “I’ll
do more than make your wildest dreams come true. I’ll make your unknown dreams come true.”
He claimed her lips for himself
and began to lightly nibble on them. He
felt her body shudder in response.
Slowly his hands grazed over the corset, feeling the satin fabric that
restrained her. Grinning at the wicked
thought he had, he caressed her torso through the fabric, deciding not to
remove the corset.
Cory responded by breaking the
kiss in a pant. “Take it off, Danny,”
she begged.
Danny gazed into her eyes, deep
blue meeting warm hazel. He
smirked. “No. Not yet.
This is about your wildest dreams and I’m going to do just that.”
Cory drew her eyebrows together
and silently pondered what he meant.
Danny didn’t give her time to
think as he practically threw her onto the bed.
Cory felt a rush of desire at his forcefulness. “Danny,” she moaned as he ran his fingers up
legs, caressing them lightly.
Finally, Danny stood up and placed
a small kiss on her lips. He smiled at
her as he captured her hands, tying them to the headboard with his tie.
Cory raised her eyebrows. “What are you doing?” she asked
throatily.
Danny just grinned and put his
finger on her lips. Then, he walked to
the dresser, where he had some spare clothes and grabbed another tie. Lovingly, he placed the tie over her eyes,
blindfolding her.
“Danny?” she asked.
“Shhh, bella. I’ll be right
back.”
Cory lay compliantly as she tried
to figure out what Danny was up to, but she couldn’t make any sounds out. She did hear him walk back into the room and
set a bowl on the nightstand. “Danny? What are you doing?” she asked.
When Danny didn’t answer her, her
skin began to crawl in anticipation. Then she felt it, the unmistakable feeling
of ice traveling up her leg. “Ohhh,” she
moaned as she felt Danny’s tongue run up her leg, licking off the melted ice.
The ice traveled higher up her
legs and her hips bucked slightly in anticipation. Finally she felt Danny place a light kiss on
top of her panties, which were soaked in her arousal.
She arched again in silent
anticipation. Danny took the opportunity
to remove her panties, but did not touch her.
Instead, he moved up her body, caressing it through the corset
again. “Danny, please…” she begged.
Danny smirked, his own arousal
straining against his pants. “Not yet, bella.
The best is yet to come.” Both of
their bodies shuddered as Cory arched hers into his.
Danny kissed her, a deep probing
kiss, while moving his leg in between her thighs. Cory felt the pressure and her hips began to
grind next to his, seeking relief for the pressure building in her body. “Danny?” she asked between pants. “Why are you still wearing clothes?”
“All in good
time, bella. All in good time,”
he answered her before covering her mouth with his. Then he moved his mouth and began to kiss
down her neck, nipping and suckling on her skin. When he reached the corset, he let his tongue
dart underneath the fabric, while his hands worked on the lacings in front of
it. Finally, the fabric parted to his
touch and he quickly threw the fabric to the side. Reaching to the bowl on the nightstand, he
withdrew another ice cube and ran the frigid water around her areola.
Cory’s back arched as the
sensation traveled directly down to her core, causing her hips to increase
their already frenzied pace. “Oh,
God…Danny!” she cried as she felt herself teetering on the brink.
Danny noticed that she was close
to losing control and quickly moved back down her body. Quickly, he placed the melting ice on her
bundle of nerves and was gratified to see her hips suspend themselves in the
air. He then replaced the ice with his
tongue and began to lightly suckle on the nerves.
Cory felt herself
begin to fall as she felt the wet heat of his mouth. Her body began to shake as she felt his
fingers enter her wet passage, only to caress the sensitive spot inside of her.
As she screamed out her orgasm,
she felt Danny begin to milk her body, bringing her down from her high
lovingly.
Just as the last spasms left her
body, she felt his fingers replaced by the hardness of his arousal. Instinctively, she wrapped her legs around
his waist as he began thrusting, slowly.
Slowly, his body rocked against
hers, her desire rising again, until with a cry, she felt both of their bodies
shudder in release. As Danny’s body
sagged against hers, she asked him, “Can you untie me now?”
Danny laughed and reached up to
undo the knot that he had tied. With her
hands free, she quickly removed the blindfold and looked into his eyes, feeling
the love radiating from them. “Wow,” she
murmured lazily, caressing his chest.
“You’re right. You did make my
unknown dreams come true.” She laid her
head against his chest as they both slowly drifted off to sleep.
