There is one part that is RATED M. Enjoy!
Dani's sister, Ronnie, had come in for a few weeks to stay with Dani. Ronnie was hoping that her and Dani could patch up things and be close like they use to be. Although, she hoped she could keep the real reason she was here from Dani. Ronnie was always so hard on Dani and judged her for thinking she was Ms. Perfect since she was a therapist. She knew Dani had had a rough year with her best friend moving to Barcolano, Matt getting married, and the man that Dani was crazy about disappearing on her for six months without a word until they started working together at V3.
Dani and Ronnie were sitting at the island bar in Dani's kitchen listening to music and catching up. It had been years since they had talked like this. It was still early and they were both trying to decide if they wanted to go out tonight or order pizza and stay in.
"Ronnie, what's going on with you. I know you're hiding something from me," Dani said when Ronnie's phone kept going off every five minutes.
"What makes you think I'm hiding something? I just wanted to catch up with my sister. What's wrong with that?" Ronnie asked loudly.
Dani didn't like her tone and she had a bad feeling about why she was really here, but for now she would let it slide and go out on the town and enjoy the night with her sister. Maybe she would text Nico and see if he would meet them. After all, they had shared an amazing kiss together just a few nights ago, but Dani had told Nico that she wanted to keep things simple between the two of them. They knew that there was more than "simple" between them and they had managed to keep it that way so far, but Dani wanted more than that with Nico. Him ignoring her for six whole months made her realize it.
"Ronnie, look, I'm sorry. Let's go out later tonight. I know a good place that has a bar and a dance floor." The smile that came across Ronnie's face was priceless.
"Awesome," Ronnie squealed. I know these HOTT guys from Long Island that I can get to meet us. I mean if you are interested." Ronnie gave Dani a wink.
"Naw, I'll pass. There is only one man that I'm interested in," Dani said as she blushed a bright red.
"OHHH, right, your "simple" man that is such a good kisser," Ronnie teased." All Dani could do was duck. Ronnie had to admit seeing Dani this crazy about a man was very exciting.
"Well, it's just now 11 am, so we have some time to do a little bit of shopping," Ronnie squealed. She grabbed Dani's arm and said, "let's go find you a dress that Sneakos eyes will be the only thing that he doesn't want to take off of you.
"Ronnie!" Dani said as she slapped her arm and managed to grab her keys, purse, and phone before her over excited sister dragged her out of the house.
While Dani was locking up the house, she heard Ronnie talking to someone.
"I don't think so security man. My sister and I are headed out to find us some dresses for our big night out at the club," Ronnie said as she waved her finger in Nico's face. Nico didn't budge, but had this big smirk on his face.
Dani smiled to herself when she seen the exchange. She cleared her throat to get Ronnie's attention. "Ronnie, can you give us a minute," Dani said as she threw Ronnie her keys to her vehicle. Ronnie gave Nico a look as she walked off.
Nico and Dani walked around back to sit on the bench. The same bench that they had shared their first kiss on. As they walking around back Nico grabbed Dani's hand.
"Is this "simple" enough for you," he asked as he entwined their fingers.
"Yes, but Nico, we both know that we don't want it to be "simple" anymore between us," Dani let the words slip out of her mouth before she could stop them. The surprise look on Nico's face was totally worth it though. "Or at least I don't," she added.
Before Nico had time to say anything, Dani's sister was pulling up around back. She yelled, "Dani, let's go." She also laid on the horn.
"A little impatient, isn't she," Nico said.
Dani stood up and said, "nothing happened to TK or Connor, did it? I mean you stopped by for reason, right?"
"Everything is fine. I'll see you, okay," Nico said as he walked back to his car.
"Dammit, Ronnie," Dani said as she went over to get in the drivers seat. She was frustrated at her sister for doing that, but decided to let it go for now and just enjoy a little retail therapy
It took Dani no time to find the dress and shoes that she wanted. While Dani was sitting in the fitting room lobby waiting on Ronnie, she felt her phone buzz. It was a text from Nico.
Hope you are having fun~N
Dani just smiled. She was liking this side of Nico.
It's not too bad. After all, I am shopping~D
Nico knew she probably really didn't want to go, but went just for her sister. He loved how Dani always thought of others before she thought of herself, but it was time she let somebody else put her first and be there for her. He intended on being that person.
Dani, I don't want "simple" between us either..I want a helluva lot more with you~N
Dani's heart felt like it stopped when she read this. She hadn't realized that Ronnie was calling her name.
"Earth to Dani. I'm ready when you are," Ronnie said as she headed out the door to the vehicle.
Dani sent a quick text before she walked out.
Me too, Nico~
Wow, Nico thought. Is this really happening? He had waited so long for this to happen that he felt like he was in a dream.
I hadn't been able to stop thinking about our kiss the other night. You were so upset with me. You know that I care about you a lot~N
Dani was driving when she heard her phone go off, so it would have to wait until their next stop, which was hopefully home. Dani knew better though with Ronnie.
"Where too now?" Dani asked Ronnie.
"I didn't get any shoes, so let's go to the shoe show and then we can head back to your place," Ronnie said and when Dani gave her a look, she said, "I promise."
"I'm just going to sit out here and wait on you," Dani said as she pulled out her phone to read the last text from Nico.
I'm sorry, Nico, that I even said that I told to leave and never come back. Yes, that kiss was amazing~D
Nico really liked where this seemed to be going. Before he could respond, he got another text from Dani.
Do you have plans for tonight~D
Nico hated that he had something with Agent Bennett tonight, but since they weren't meeting up until midnight or later, he could hang out with Dani until then.
I have to help Agent Bennett at midnight tonight~N
Dani thought, well, that gives us a little time together.
Meet me at Club Aero around 7ish?~D
Nico knew the place well. He wouldn't miss it, that was for sure.
I'll be there. Wear your dancing shoes and I might teach you a move or two ;)~N
Dani loved this message.
Can't wait :D~D
Nico was hoping that tonight was the start of many more with Dani.
Dani and Ronnie arrived back home around two, which gave them plenty of time to relax before having to get ready. Xeno was there waiting by the front door.
"Special delivery, Dr. Santino," Xeno said as he handed her a dozen red roses in a vase and a small long box.
"Thanks Xeno," Dani said as headed inside. Dani sat everything down so she could open the long skinny box.
Inside the box was the prettiest diamond heart necklace that Dani had ever seen. The was a neatly written note on the inside that read, HERE'S TO FINALLY MOVING PAST THE "SIMPLE" US TO THE "SERIOUS" US
P.S. Can't wait to DANCE with you tonight! Nico ; )
Dani's mouth dropped wide open. No man had ever done anything like this for her before. She showed Ronnie the note on the inside of the necklace and she hugged Dani and told her how happy she was for her.
"This man has it bad for you, D," Ronnie said as she went up to the guest bedroom to take her a nap before their late night tonight.
Dani went and curled up on her sofa in the family room. She was glad that she had an hour or so to just relax. She flipped on the TV and picked up her phone to text Nico.
I don't know what to say~D
Nico was working out in his home gym, listening to music, when he saw his phone light up.
You don't need to say anything. I hope I didn't overstep?~N
No, you didn't overstep. It's just no man has ever done anything like that for me~D
You deserve it, Dani~N
Thanks, Nico. I don't want to ruin your badass rep by calling you sweet, but it was very sweet~D;)
Nico just smiled at this one. For some reason, he seemed to be intimidating to most people and he planned on keeping it that way, with the exception of Dani.
Your welcome. See you tonight!~N
Wow, Dani thought. Short and to the point. Guess he's reputation is that important. Her phone buzzed again.
BTW, a tough guy with a badass rep can't be romantic to a woman that he has been crazy about for a while?~N ;)
Dani just smiled real big at this one. That man was full of suprises. She honestly didn't know he had it in him.
Nico, you are just full of suprises~D
After Dani sent that text to Nico, she heard a commotion coming from upstairs and it sounded like Ronnie was really upset. So Dani quietly went upstairs to see what was going on. Her sister was arguing with some guy. Same oh same oh, Dani thought and went into her room.
Around four thirty Dani started getting ready. She hadn't heard anything out of Ronnie in a while, so she decided to check on her first. Ronnie was asleep and Dani could tell she had been crying for a while and had cried herself to sleep.
Dani walked over and shook her, "Ronnie, wake up. Remember, we are going out tonight. Get up and get ready. Quit letting these one night stand guys get you down." Ronnie just looked at Dani. How Dani always knew these things, she had yet to figure out. Ronnie pulled it together and started getting ready. After all, she was so looking forward to this night out with her sister, but still hoping that Dani would never find out the real reason she was here.
At exactly, 6:15, Dani and Ronnie were pulling out of Dani's driveway and headed for Club Aero. Dani had never been this excited about going to a club and for sure never this nervous, but tonight was hopefully the start to a wonderful relationship with a man that she had tried so hard to hide her feelings for.
Nico left his house around 6:30. The club wasn't far from his penthouse apartment. Millions of thoughts raced through his mind. The one thing that concerned him the most though, was Dani's sister. He knew there was something she was hiding.
The music to the club was loud, but very good. Ronnie told Dani to have a good time and immediately went to the bar.
Dani felt an arm wrap around her waist and pull her to the dance floor. She felt a body pull her up against them and put their hands on her hips. She knew exactly who it was. The song that was playing had a good beat. It was Get it Poppin by Fat Joe featuring Nelly.
Nico had been waiting for Dani a few minutes and when he saw her, all he wanted to do was put his hands all over her.
As the song played..
It's two up in the mornin girl, and the DJ playin that song
Now what'chu gon' do? (I'ma get get get it poppin)
Now what'chu gon' do? (I'ma get get get it poppin)
I said it's two up in the mornin girl, and the DJ playin that song
Now what'chu gon' do? (I'ma get get get it poppin)
Now what'chu gon' do? (I'ma get get get it poppin)
Dani finally turned around and faced Nico. The way their bodies fit together was unreal, but the way Nico made her feel was definitely real. She wrapped her arms around his neck and as they grinded against each other, Nico bent down and gave Dani a lite peck on the lips. They both enjoying the song and having so much fun.
When the song ended, Nico pulled Dani back into the back corner where he had a table for them.
"That was so fun," Dani said with a huge grin.
"I'm glad you had fun. You look so sexy in that dress," Nico said with a wink. Dani almost choked on her drink. That damn wink had been driving her crazy all day and there it was again.
"Ok, so tell me, where have you been hiding this side of you at, Sneako," Dani said jokingly.
"It's been right in front of you this whole time," Nico said as he leaned across the table to kiss her again. Dani just grinned and kissed him back. She was loving this.
"Doctor Santino, you have some sexy moves on that dance floor. I love you being that close to me," Nico said with a smirk.
"Well, how about we go dance some more," Dani said.
The next song that came on was a slow on.
"My Eyes" by Blake Shelton
(feat. Gwen Sebastian)
Those high heels with that sun dress
Turquoise heart hanging 'round your neck
Red lips like wine, wanna drink 'em up
And keep on drinkin' 'til you make me drunk
Tied up hair, wanna let it down
And just let the rest fall to the ground
You take beautiful to the max
Can't help myself when you look like that
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, girl the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you
There's a million stars dancing in the sky
A picture perfect moon so bright
But I don't care, I'm looking at you
From where I stand you can't beat the view
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, girl the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you
My eyes have seen
Some amazing things
But girl, my eyes ain't seen
Nothing quite like you, hey baby
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, girl the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you
Come a little closer, come a little closer
Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you
Nico's hands rested on Dani's waist and she had her arms around his neck and as they swayed to the music, they just stared into each other's eyes. Nico was wearing his usual attire, minus the long coat he normally wore. He had taken it off when he fit inside. Dani had chose a short very low cut silver dress that dipped dangerously low in the back. She took Nico's breath away and his eyes were the only thing he didn't want to take off of her.
Nico pulled Dani close and said, "this song describes how I feel right now in this very moment."
All Dani could do was blush. She was having feelings right now that she had never experienced before, not even Ray.
The song ended so they went back to their table and sat down. Dani checked her phone. She hadn't seen Ronnie since they got here, so she had no ideal what she was doing. Ronnie had sent her a text telling her how good her and Nico looked together. This made Dani smile. When Nico saw the smile, he gave her a weird look, so Dani showed him the text from Ronnie. He smiled too.
Nico checked the time, it was almost nine and he was starving. "Dani, are you hungry?"
"Yes, I'm starving and besides you wore me out on that dance floor." Dani told him with a smirk.
"How about we go get something and then go back to my place to eat?" Nico asked hesitantly.
"That's fine with me, but let me see what Ronnie's plans are first, okay." Nico just nodded. He needed to get to the bottom of why she was here and what she was hiding. Dani texted Ronnie to meet her over at their table, so they could talk.
Five minutes later, Ronnie stumbled up to them.
"Ronnie, you're wasted," Dani said frustrated. "You want me to start trusting you again, but how can I when you act like this?"
"I'm fine. What do you want," Ronnie asked.
"We are going to go get something to eat. Are you going to stay here? I'll be back to get you and my car," Dani said. Then she added, " stay out of trouble and please don't do anything stupid." Ronnie just walked back over to the guys that she had been hanging out with all night.
Nico could tell that conversation upset Dani. He put his long coat around her shoulders and they headed out.
Once inside the car, Nico asked Dani if she was okay and Dani explained how Ronnie was into one night stands and getting drunk all the time. How they would have guys showing up out of the blue threatening the whole family. This concerned Nico because he was afraid that's why Ronnie was here, hiding out from some guy. How could he protect Dani from that, since he had to meet Agent Bennett.
By the time they got their food and were sitting back at Nico's, it was almost ten. They just talked small talk while they ate. They decided on Chinese food.
"Nico, you're apartment is gorgeous."
"I'm glad you approve," he said as picked up their empty cartons of food and went to throw them away.
Nico came back into his living room and sat right beside Dani. There was no way he was letting this night end without kissing her. He put his arm around Dani and she laid again this chest. She rested her hands on his chest as well.
"Nico, I really like where things are going between us. I think tonight has been the best night of my life," Dani whispered.
"Me too, Dani," Nico said as he kissed her lips softly.
Dani wasn't having that. She wanted more than just a quick peck on the lips. She decided she needed to be closer to him, so she climbed up in his lap and straddled him.
"Is this okay," Dani whispered huskily.
Nico didn't answer her with words, but a very passionate and intense kiss. They made out like that for several minutes. Dani grinded down against Nico. She could feel his growing length mashing into her as she grinded down on him. It was driving her crazy. They both pulled back for air and Dani rested her forehead against Nico's. His fingers traced Dani's back where the dress rested just above her ass. Both were breathless. They wanted more. Nico looked at his watch. It was close to 10:30. He knew there wouldn't be time tonight because he wanted his first time with Dani to be special and to be able to show her just how special she is to him. So he continued their kissing and Nico's hand came around and grabbed Dani's breast. This caused her to moan and she grinded into Nico's hand. Dani's dress barely covered her breast. It was very low, so Nico's mouth went there. He kissed his way down her neck and cleavage. He pulled the dress down a little and managed to get her breast free where he could rub and suck on them. Nico looked at Dani first to make sure this was what she wanted before he continued. Dani took his hand and put it between her legs to let him know that this was okay. Nico lifted Dani up and sat her on the couch. He climbed on top her. Dani had unbuttoned Nico's shirt and took it off.
RATED M
"God, Nico, you are so sexy," Dani whispered in a moaning voice because Nico's mouth went to her breast. He sucked hard on them and then his hand wondered down Dani's lower stomach.
Dani's rubbed her hands all over Nico. His cock was so hard and that alone turned Dani on. When Nico pulled Dani's dress up, all thoughts left her. She was glad that she had decided not to wear anything under her dress. It was tight, so Nico was having trouble getting it up.
"Just take it off," Dani said
Nico hesitated for a minute and when he did, Dani pulled it off herself. There she stood completely naked in front of Nico. He took her in.
"You are the most amazing woman that I have ever laid my eyes on," Nico whispered as he picked her up and carried him to his bed.
Nico laid Dani on the bed gently. His mouth went to her breast and his fingers kept going lower and lower. He told Dani to spread her legs and she did, he dipped his fingers down deep that it made Dani arch up off the bed.
"Damn, Dani, you are so wet. Let's see how many times I can make you go," Nico whispered to Dani.
Nico looked over at his clock. There was no way in hell that he wasn't having sex with this fine ass woman tonight. Dani came hard around Nico's hand. When she finally came down, he rubbed her click and spread her open wide. He sexed her with his tongue. Dani shuddered hard around his tongue and just as she was coming down, Nico entered hard with his cock. How he got his pants off so quick without Dani realizing it, she would never know. They both managed to go at the same time. Dani had never been so many times at once and each time was better than the first.
Nico rolled over on his back and pulled Dani with him. He himself had never experienced anything like that with a woman before. He loved how responsive Dani was. Dani wanted to know that Nico was getting just as much pleasure as he was and Nico had never been with a woman that cared rather or not he had pleasure.
Both laid there content. Nico had his arms around Dani and Dani rested on Nico's chest.
"Nico, oh my gawd, you just made me feel like a virgin. I have never in my life felt like this. You are amazing," Dani said as she looked up at Nico.
"You make me feel things that I've never felt for anyone and just the fact that you care if I'm pleasured to makes sex that much better with you. You have some moves in bed that made me cum harder than I ever have in my life," Nico said as he looked at the clock. It was almost midnight and he needed to be going soon. He still had to drop Dani off. He didn't want this to end.
Dani knew they needed to go so Nico could get to his meeting. Nico needed to rinse off, so he showed Dani where his guest bathroom was just incase she wanted a little privacy to freshen up. She thought that was very sweet of him to give her some space and privacy after what had just happened. Dani closed the door to the bathroom and leaned up against it.
"Holy crap," she whispered to herself. Dani looked at herself in the huge mirror that was in the bathroom. Every part of her body had been touched and kissed on by Nico. Dani felt like she was on cloud 9 and couldn't get the goofy grin off of her face.
When Dani came out of the bathroom, Nico grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. "I don't intend on you avoiding me for weeks like the first time we kissed. You belong to me now, Danielle Santino and I plan on keeping it that way." He kissed her lightly on the lips.
"Well, when you get done, why don't you come to my house and stay with me," Dani said and told him where the spare key was.
Once back at the club, they kissed each other. They kissed hard and Nico told Dani he would see her in a few hours.
A few minutes later Dani was trying to get Ronnie out of the club. She was so drunk. These guys had them surrounded and there was one guy who was cursing Ronnie and trying to hit her when Dani stepped in and took the hits herself. She took some hard hits and she wished Nico would just walk in that door ant minute, but knew he was gone to his meeting.
"So, Ronnie, you thought you come here to get away from me, but as you can see that didn't work. See I knew you would run to your sisters house and I can see why you did, she's a feisty little bitch," the man said and hit Dani in the face again. "There's a few things I'm going to do with you," the man told Dani as he ran his hand down her body.
Next thing Dani knew was that she was being carried into a dark corner. They had gotten Ronnie so drunk that she was barely holding up. They had hit Dani hard that she couldn't see because her right eye was almost swollen shut.
Dani felt someone climb on top of her. There was no way she was letting this happen. That's when Dani heard the commotion. It was TK and Xeno.
"Dr. D, get up. Get outta here," she heard TK yell.
Ronnie was already headed our to the car and Dani managed to get free and make it out to the car.
As Dani was running out, she heard TK on the phone telling Nico to get here quick because Dr. D was in trouble.
As Dani was pulling out of the parking lot, she noticed someone was following them.
"What the hell were you thinking? Coming to my house to hide from a guy. You could have put Ray J and Lindsey in danger." Dani yelled. She was so upset.
They came to a sharp curve and that's when the car that had been following them, hit them from behind, which caused Dani to lose control and they ran straight into a tree.
Nico was with Agent Bennett when TK called him the first time. Agent Bennett called for backup. By the time that Nico arrived at Club Aero backup was already there. When he didn't see Dani's vehicle, he ran inside. The look on TK'S face and the tears in his eyes let Nico know that something was bad wrong.
"TK, what happened," Nico asked trying to stay calm the best he could.
"They attacked Dr. D. They tried to do things to her, but I walked in right when they were on top of her. She still had on her dress. I yelled for her to run and her and her sister managed to get free, but there was one guy that followed them out." TK swallowed and tried to finish, but he was pretty upset. Nico knew it wasn't good.
Nico heard Agent Bennett call his name and told him to follow him. They pulled up to a car wreck and when Nico saw that it was Dani's, it was as if time had stood still and they were frozen in this moment.
The police and wreckers were cleaning everything up and they had already rushed them to the hospital. Nico walked up to Dani's car and looked in on her side. There was quite a bit of blood everywhere. Nico noticed Dani's phone on the floorboard and he grabbed it along with her purse. When he hit turned the phone to see if it still worked, he saw his name and number across the screen. Dani was just about to call him before she wrecked. A tear or two ran down Nico's face. How could the most perfect night of his life end up like this? Nico felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Dani's sister was only bruised and banged up. She had a lot to drink and some drugs. Dani is still unconscious and has lost a good bit of blood. She has a big gash in her forehead and arm. The glass cut her up badly," Agent Bennett told Nico.
Nico felt like Agent Bennett's voice was somewhere else. He heard him, but he didn't. Nico was angry and numb everywhere. He just looked at Agent Bennett, got in car, and rushed to the hospital. Dani had just became him and he wasn't ready to lose her yet.
TBC
I miss Necessary Roughness so bad, especially Nico (Scott Cohen). This would be the time of year that we all would have been obsessing about the show and this would have been the season we would have finally gotten to see our favorite couple together. I know in this story a lot of people would say that I wrote Nico out of character, but I just fell that he would really treat Dani like this. After all, we saw him out of character the morning after on the season 3 finale and even at the end, all the opening up he did. That's why I did his character the way I did. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading. Will continue soon.
