A/N: Hey, it's me again. I got this idea out of my own head wishing I were older and able to date Don Flack. Heh, so… ya… I'm taking a break from my other work and just getting this one out cause I haven't been able to not think about it ever since I thought it up on a whim. Who knew what a moment of craziness could do? Anyway here it is. Oh and I think I want this to be a one hitter but if I get good (and nice) reviews we'll see what happens ;-)

--------------------Gentleman vs. Scoundrel--------------------

Detective Don Flack sat at the bar of his favorite local hot spot. He could always find single women to impress with his superb dating skills. And tonight, he was all ready for them. He was in his favorite black suit. No tie of course. With his favorite blue shirt that set off those eyes that always made the ladies swoon. He had the first three buttons undone so that all the women could get a taste of what they could have and it made him feel very comfortable in his own skin as well. His hair was also just the way he and the ladies liked it; a little messy but styled perfectly.

He had never failed to be without someone yet somehow he could never find that one person with that special spark that he needed. Most girls were the "in the moment" kind. Tonight however he felt that things were going to be different as he looked around the bar taking slow patient sips of his beer.

He watched as people sat and talked. Everyone had someone it seemed. He was loosing hope of finding someone in the bar and was beginning to think that he should just go to the club around the corner to pick up some young slut with all the right moves when he stumbled on this lonely woman in a very sexy red dress sitting at the bar. He didn't mean to stare as she looked at herself in her mirror but she looked too good not to stare.

--------------------Gentleman vs. Scoundrel--------------------

Victoria looked around for single gentlemen that she could have a relationship with as she sipped her red wine. She was loosing hope and fast. Even though she came to the bar with her best friends for a drink and some conversation, other guys in the bar had approached them as she looked around the bar for them.

Her friend Teresa had found some sexy Latin man that she could make out with and talk Spanish to. He had tattoos and biceps and she was already hooked. Her friend Janel had found some cute rocker slash artist guy with a quiet, shy sense about him and enough jokes to keep her laughing all night. Jojo had found herself a hot Asian to keep up with her intelligence and would argue against her with just as good points as she had. Also her sweetest friend Rama had found herself a nice fellow her very traditional Hindu parents would approve of. He was Hindu as well of course.

She wondered what she had done wrong as she looked at herself in her mirror. She wasn't under or over dressed. She was in her favorite red dress. It was sleeveless and fell just above her knee with a small slit going up her right thigh to entice and it exposed just enough skin in the back and the front let her expose the right amount of cleavage to keep the men interested. She had her makeup perfectly done to accent her lips and green eyes. She even had her hair swooped up into a cute little bun with a few flirty tendrils hanging around her face and neck. She felt that she looked as perfect as she was ever going to get but she couldn't understand why men didn't seem to feel the same.

That was when her train of thought was broken when she couldn't seem to get the thought that there were these eyes staring at her. She looked up, her green eyes meeting a gorgeous pair of blue that winked at her.

--------------------Gentleman vs. Scoundrel--------------------

Flack had never seen anyone looking like this in a long time. She had curves in all the right places and he was never one to go for the emaciated kind of girl. He liked a girl that wasn't afraid to look healthy; it meant that they could cook. He almost felt like a lecher as he watched her move in her red dress that fell just right on her. He watched as she took a sip of her wine and then looked up at him.

He all of a sudden was very nervous and didn't know what to do. Hold a sec Flack of course you know what to do, he thought to himself ever the player. He winked at her and gave her the trademark smile that he knew would do the trick.

--------------------Gentleman vs. Scoundrel--------------------

Victoria gasped all of a sudden very breathless. Oh my god. He winked at me! Hey, he has nice eyes and a great smile, Victoria thought to herself as she watched this mysterious gentleman from across the bar. Her stomach was doing flips as she flashed him a flirty yet shy smile.

Victoria watched from her seat as all of a sudden the man got up and was approaching her. Oh no here he comes its ok relax Vicki you've done this before its fine just keep a cool head and try not to get mixed up in those eyes like you know you're probably going to. Oh gods he does look good in that suit. Focus Vicki here he comes.

Her mental mantra would have made any man go crazy as she watched him walk over with a swagger taking his time. She watched with bated breath as his glittering eyes took her all in. He leaned against the bar with ease and she could swear that the entire bar could hear her heartbeat but what she didn't know was that the man's heart was almost exactly the same way.

Victoria thought that she would almost melt when she heard his deep sexy voice greet her. "Hi!" was all that he said.

--------------------Gentleman vs. Scoundrel--------------------

Flack watched the mystery woman smile back at him. Cute smile, he thought to himself. He couldn't believe he was doing this. He's picked up women in bars before but they've never looked that good. He almost thought he didn't deserve his luck as he looked at her.

Ok, let's end the suspense, he thought as he moved to walk over to her. Drink in hand he walked with a swagger letting her take him all in. Boy, was she taking him in. He watched her pretty green eyes run up and down him three times at least before their eyes met again. The more they stared at each other the faster his heartbeat became.

Don't worry Don just remember keep your cool. You can do this. Its just conversation, Flack thought as he leaned expertly on the bar and felt the word "Hi!" fall expertly from his mouth. He almost thought he could see her swoon even though she didn't but he could tell he had her, and it might sound cliché but he had a feeling that he had her from the word hello.

--------------------Gentleman vs. Scoundrel--------------------

"Hello!" Victoria said to the gentleman flashing him a friendly smile. She leaned in towards him and crossed her legs so that the slit in her dress exposed her thigh. She caught him peeking too. And when their eyes met she gave him a saucy smile.

So this is the game, Flack thought to himself. She plays it well. Hell, lets play along with her. "So what's a beautiful dame like yourself doing in a place like this?" Flack questioned her with a wry chuckle.

Without missing a beat Victoria responded. "Well what's a scoundrel like you doing here talking to a dame like me?" She smiled a smile that wrinkled her nose a little to show that she was kidding. She almost couldn't contain the laugh that threatened to burst from inside her. This is almost too funny, she thought to herself.

Flack chuckled to himself in his mind, so this is going to be a game of words; all right I think I can handle that. "Well only to keep lecherous gentlemen from putting their sly moves on such an innocent lady such as yourself."

"Well aren't you trying to do the same Mr… uh…" Victoria could've killed herself right then and there. I knew my mouth would get into trouble. This guys probably never going to want to talk to me ever again, Victoria thought miserably to herself.

"It's Detective, actually, my name is Detective Don Flack and please call me Don. And what's your name, Miss…?" He smiled down at her. They both knew that he was hitting on her so there was no need to let anything said between them to get to him.

Victoria smiled right back at him. It's a good thing he doesn't let things get to him easily. "A detective? Wow, so you're a trustworthy and protective scoundrel. Not many of you come here often. My name's Victoria Lawrence. Please call me Victoria or even Vicki all of my friends do."

"Yes I have to admit this kind of scoundrel is hard to come by. Two more please, barkeep." Flack said this to the bartender without once leaving Victoria's eyes he knew that the had both been finished with their drinks and that he was planning on staying by Victoria's side for a very long time. "And please this round is on me." He said with a smile that made Victoria wonder if she could stand or if her knees would be completely made out of jello. She was completely entranced by this strange detective and his blue twinkling eyes. She barely heard soft slow jazz pouring in from the speakers but just kept on smiling up at Don.

"Would you care to dance Victoria?" Don said to her offering her his hand and ending the suspense.

How could I say "no"? Victoria offered Don a smile that made his pulse quicken. "Of course." She said grabbing his hand and gracefully descending from the barstool.

--------------------Gentleman vs. Scoundrel--------------------

Flack guided Victoria to the dance floor letting her cut in front around the tables and chairs, with a hand protectively on the small of her back. He also got an opportunity to watch the fabric of her red dress drape around her and swish seductively. Flack could've sworn he heard himself let out a very husky groan. Easy boy. Don't lose control you know you want to do this right. Flack calmed himself down as they reached the dance floor. Flack expertly turned her around and guided a hand across her hip. He had to gulp and increase his mental mantra. Oh god, everything about her feels so perfect! How come God decided to be so good to me now?

Little did he know, that Victoria was doing all she could from dragging his head down to hers so that she could just kiss him. She began to relax however as the music began to flow through her and they began to sway with it. He was such a gentlemanly scoundrel. Not once did his hand around her waist go anywhere else. He spun her in time with the music rather expertly and Victoria was in such bliss that she let out a sigh that she didn't intend when she laid her head on his chest. It was so cute that Flack laid his head on hers and smiled into her hair. He decided at this point to get cute. "So what do you think is better a gentleman or a scoundrel?" He said softly into her hair so that only she could hear. She looked up into his eyes as he smiled down to her.

"Definitely scoundrel." She said and they both began to laugh as the song ended. Flack guided Victoria from the dance floor back to the bar.

--------------------Gentleman vs. Scoundrel--------------------

The drinks Flack had ordered and paid for were waiting for them when they got back as both were slightly breathless from dancing in such close proximity to one another. This is going better than I had planned, Flack thought as he took a refreshing swig of his new beer. Thank goodness for that because he didn't realize he was as thirsty as he was. Victoria felt the exact same way as she took a gulp of her wine.

"So you never did tell me what you do for a living, Vicki." Flack said pushing forward the conversation that had gotten comfortably quiet but he wasn't going to just sit there and stare into those gorgeous green eyes all night he wanted to see what was behind them.

"Oh," Vicki said putting her drink back on the bar gaining confidence in a subject that she knew all too well. "I'm Assistant Creative Director in a major advertising firm here in the city." She told him with a proud smile.

"So you must be one of those artsy types." Flack chuckled as he leaned up against the bar. He enjoyed finally hitting on a girl that either wasn't too into science and his own detective work or wasn't as dumb as the pool cue they played with. He could tell that this one in front of him was rather brilliant with her confident sultry green eyes upon him.

"Well I consider myself very creative if that's what you mean." She laughed to herself she had almost forgotten what it was like to have a conversation with a guy and hold his attention for more than ten seconds before he turned his attention back to his work. At least that's what it was like trying to get the attention of some of the so-called men at her office. One of the pitfalls of loving your work a little too much seeing as how this was the first time she saw anything or anyone other than her office building and her apartment in more than just a several months. "I'm responsible for plenty of the billboards and commercials you see around you on a daily basis." She smiled to herself, damn, she was good, a confident grin caressing her face.

They had spent another few minutes being absorbed in each other's glow when Victoria heard the bluesy voice of Janis Joplin grace the speakers. She half squealed, half gasped in excitement and when she looked over at Flack felt the heat rise to her cheeks in embarrassment. She shyly looked down at looked back up and saw his blue eyes sparkling more than ever at her. "I love this song and I'm a big fan of Janis Joplin. Do you mind if we dance to this one?" She asked quietly with shy voice and an even shyer smile. She acts so cute, he thought to himself. Flack only nodded in response and midway to the dance floor assured her that it was ok.

"I like a girl that's into my kind of music." He said for only her to hear as once again he took firm hold of her only this time both hands were on her waist and she brought her hands behind his neck taking them into a closer proximity to one another than ever. She smiled dreamily up at him as they swayed and turned to the music.

They could do nothing for a while but look into each other's eyes happy but unsure of what to next. Victoria however was going to take matter into her own hands. She loosened her hands from around the back of his neck and turned around so that she leaned up against him. She turned her head and looked up at him with a daring smile draping an arm around his neck and the side of his face from behind as she felt the husky groan come from his chest vibrate through her back as she ground her hips into him. She was at just the right height to have the desired effect. She would continue to do this for the better part of the song in step with the- in Flack's mind painfully slow- music.

Victoria guided his hands to slide up and down from her stomach and hips to her waist hugging her loving the feel of them around her and he loved the feel of having her in his arms as she gracefully turned in his arms to face him again as the music came to an end once again. Only this time she had forgotten how close they were to one another and when she turned around as she saw the husky animalistic and very attractive look in his now dark and smoky blue eyes. She saw them dance from her eyes to her luscious lips and back up again. She didn't get the chance to be absorbed in them for long as he closed the very small distance between them as he had probably already read the desire that flowed from her green eyes.

The kiss was only innocent for a few seconds when their lips touched as she felt Flack strengthen his hold before releasing it to cup the sides of her face and neck with both of his hands tipping her head backwards as his tongue slid along her lips begging for entrance. She opened up very slightly as he gently proceeded. It didn't take long before she let him in all the way in leaving him almost growling out loud in patient protest before he ended the kiss both breathless.

"Do you want to get out of here? Maybe we could talk some more, maybe, as I drive you home." Flack said with an all too happy smile. She nodded and went to grab her bag at the bar as Flack went to get his coat. Victoria had her shall wrapped up in her purse so that she could keep it with her. She motioned to him one second as he looked at her from across the bar at the door. She whirled around to find one of her friends, breathless and way too excited for her own good. She found them all where she left them and went to the one girl she knew wouldn't forget what she was about to tell her.

She ran to Janel's table as she tapped her shoulder, allowing Janel to excuse herself for a second. Victoria waited until she was just barely out of earshot before she started talking to Janel in a hurry.

"Look I know I don't normally do this but I've never felt this kind of connection with anyone else before in my life. His name is Don Flack; he's a detective with the NYPD. He's very protective and very safe and very hot and a very god kisser and standing over there waiting to take me home." Victoria said pointing in Don's direction. Janel looked over and saw him wave a quick 'hi' and laughed shaking her head. She knew Vicki didn't fall in and out of love easily and when one slapped her in the face like this even though it wasn't the safest situation possible for a single girl in New York City she couldn't let Vicki pass up this opportunity. She'd tease her later about the starry eyed smile in Vicki's eyes in the morning.

"Ok go on and I'll see at the apartment in the morning. Will that be breakfast for an extra person as well then?" She asked with a curious smirk wondering if Vicki would take the risqué plunge on a whim. She thought right, as Vicki vehemently shook her head 'no'. They hugged and said their goodbyes before Vicki rushed to Flack's side. Flack chuckled to himself as he had watched their exchange from afar with his detective skills knowing that they must've been the best of friends for the longest time since some of their exchange looked almost like just knowing glances and understanding nods and shakes of the head. Vicki took his arm as he led her out of the bar and to his car.

--------------------Gentleman vs. Scoundrel--------------------

Once they were outside the cool air rushed around Vicki as she slipped on her shall. It felt awfully refreshing. Don was right we did need to get out of there, she thought to herself. She was enjoying the sky up above when she felt Don's arm snake around her own again as they both got comfortable with the climate around them. "This way." He guided her to his car. He opened the door and helped her climb in like the gentleman he really was. He closed her door and climbed in his side as he began to start the car.

She looked up at him and he almost had to gulp again when he saw that even though they were in the dark her eyes were still twinkling with a desire and for him. He realized that there was a bit of an awkward silence that he needed to end. He wondered though how far this thing could go. "Where do you live?" He questioned her not sure of where to drive.

"I don't live far from here. Just drive I'll show you where to go." She told him all too innocently for his taste. Still he figured what the hell as they drove off.

They stared at each other not saying anything really interesting for most of the ride Flack paying attention to the rode and Victoria telling him where to go. Finally she pointed to a nice little apartment house and Flack expertly pulled over to the front of it.

Victoria was about to let herself out when Flack grabbed her wrist. "What do you think I am a gentleman? Here wait for me and I'll help you out." He said with a grin as he closed his door and made his way to the other side of the car.

He didn't realize that that little touch made the breath in Victoria's throat hitch and goose bumps rise on her skin. She watched him as he made his way to her side of the car. He almost got run over by a crazy driver, which he yelled at before he opened her door holding out a hand for her. She blushed and tried to thank him profusely once she got out but he waved it off with a hand telling her that it was nothing.

They made to the front of the building at the edge of the stairs that lead up to the door that would bring this night to an end and Victoria didn't want it to be! How dare this perfect night come to an end! Vicki thought furiously to herself. She had been staring at her feet wondering what to do next. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she gasped when she felt his gentle yet strong hand lightly grab her chin so that he could lift her head.

She lost all sense of the world around them when their eyes met. His eyes seem to bore into her soul and it scared her. Yet they were gentle and kind and she knew that there was nothing to worry about from this man as he closed the gap between them and brought his lips to meet hers. This time they deepened the kiss together both knowing this is what they wanted. Victoria was the one to end it as both of their chests heaved from lack of air. She loved looking into his blue eyes.

"Would you like to come up?" She said suddenly but she didn't want him to get any ideas as the questioning but suggestive look came upon his face and she was quick to correct his thoughts. "For like a cup of coffee or another beer. Nothing funny I promise we've only just met." She said with a nervous chuckle as she walked up the stairs getting her key out to open the door looking back waiting for him to follow and she watched him smirk as he did. She smiled back at him as she opened the door and took his hand to lead him up.

--------------------Gentleman vs. Scoundrel--------------------

They reached her door in a hurry and Flack was waiting for her to open the door when all of a sudden she turned around rather abruptly and brought her lips to his. She deepened the kiss quickly but he didn't object as he brought his arms around her to hold her tight. He felt that even though they only knew each other for a few hours she could become a permanent part of his life. He felt her all of a sudden break away and was ready to groan in objection but gulped in surprise as Victoria began to nip her way along his jaw line and down his neck. His eyes rolled into the back of his head as he leaned into her attention. She worked her way along his collarbone moving away his coat, jacket and shirt to expose his skin to her. She then kissed her way back up the same way she went then stopped where she felt pulse and bit and sucked along there before kissing it away and then continued to kiss her way back to his lips where she captured them once more before breaking away.

"Goodnight." Was all that Victoria wanted to say as she made her way to open the door not willing all of a sudden to let him inside her apartment just yet. Don could tell this. He knew that she was definitely interested but not ready to let him into her completely private space and he understood that. Hell, he didn't let someone women into his apartment either. Still he definitely wanted to get to know her better.

So he quickly slipped out a pen and his card from his pocket and wrote his apartment phone number and cell on the back of it before quickly turning her around to face him as he brought her lips to his once more. It was a passionate yet quick kiss. He loved the way her eyes looked up at him when they broke away. They were innocent yet filled with passion and wisdom. Her cheeks were flushed and her lips were swollen from all of their kisses. He slipped the card into her hand that was at her side and closed her fingers over it smiled at her while looking in her eyes.

"Goodnight." Was all that Flack said with his trademark smirk. He walked away not looking back as he went down the stairs and out the building not being able to hide the extremely wide and happy smile that was on his face the entire way home.

While he was driving home it had taken Victoria several minutes after he had left to regain her bearings before she made her way into her apartment. She closed the door, leaned her back against it and slid down to the floor. She smiled to the gods above and sighed contently.

That was mere seconds before she screamed excitedly and ran into her bedroom taking off everything but her dress and belly flopped into it laughing to herself. She closed her eyes for a second in mere peace when all of a sudden she felt a slight sleepy haze begin to wash over her. She rolled over and got out of the bed and got ready for sleep before she climbed back into it and waited for the well deserved happy sleep to wash over her. All she could see in her sleep was Flack and everything about him she hoped she would learn to love. She had never been so happy ever in her life.
