PRELUDE

Sliding out of the booth she makes a beeline towards the table near the corner. Slipping her arm around the neck as she sat down on the lap before her. Leaning in she captured the mouth of the man whom had caught her eyes the moment she swallowed some scotch.

The booth was silent. All eight eyes were glued eagle eyed at their best friend, as she made out with a total stranger. Every thought was numb and in total shock. Male lips jack jawed as they tried to get a better view of their other best female friend starting to go down on the one lucky ass man underneath her.

The female best friend just couldn't grasp what she was seeing, and feeling. This whole situation was wrong. On all levels.

"Hot." Barney said and wolf called loudly.

Marshall and Ted looked from their best friend's make out session to Barney – slow grins spread across there lips.

Lily didn't tear her eyes off of her friend whom was currently had her hand down the man's shirt. Suddenly before she could do or say anything, Robin stood up and jerked the man up behind her. They walked from the bar without a word or a glance.

She felt a firm hand over hers, she looked over her shoulder at the compassionate face of her husband. "You can find out what the hell this is about later, just let her get laid." His right eye brow rose, "I think she would seriously bite your head off if you go and try to stop her."

Lily swallowed and picked up the shot glass that held ¾ of the scotch in it. Opening her mouth she swung her head back and finished the fire liquor. Liquor that she truly did hate to have in her system. It was disgusting. She just couldn't understand how Robin could stand the stuff.

Her eyes were closed as her head tilted back to normal once more. She felt her husband's on the back of her neck. Gently massaging it. She breathed through the pain of the raw liquor. Robin always liked to drink the heavy liquor raw. She always said the rawer the better. Slowly her eyes opened and she saw the concern in both Ted and Barney's eyes.

Barney quickly masked his concern with cherish cat's grin. "So who wants to bet Robin is going to show that guy a real good time tonight. Wonder if it's going to go on all night – or for an hour or two."

Ted sighed and swung his beer back against his mouth. He need a drink. Horribly badly he needed a drink. He felt his body go warm at the thought of what his ex girlfriend has set herself to do. He fully well knew that Robin didn't know the man that she had down a small lap dance with. The man was a total stranger to her and to them. This wasn't right. Not right at all.

But still they all remained sitting at the booth.

AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE WALL – IN A ALLEY

"Oh baby -" He breathed against her neck as he pushed her more rougher against the wall. "I never even thought of this when I walked in." He licked his way up her jaw line and met her lips with his own. He felt her teeth bit into his lips. He moaned as he felt his erection shot out an couple of inches.

She smiled into the heated kiss that she started. She knew what he wanted. She knew what they all wanted. She was just happy to comply. She felt him move back.

"My place isn't too far." He breathed as he held out his hand.

She smiled and licked her lips. Putting her hands on her arms she twisted around and slammed him against the wall. Quickly removing his shirt. Without managing to break any of his buttons as she ripped the front. "We aren't going anywhere, sexy. Neither one of us can hold out from this place."

His eyes lit up in excitement. She was one of those women. He watched as she reached out and unbuckled his wide belt buckle. She had his jeans and boxers around his ankles within seconds. His shirt still on his back – but open waving in the slight breeze. He pulled her too him – she was fully dressed. But that was fine with him. He always enjoyed his women with clothes on when he banged their brains out.

"No names." She said in a hot and steel voice.

He looked into her lust filled eyes – seeing the steel in them. "No names."

"No contact after this is over. If you even decide to come and say hello to me -" She said in a harsh voice.

"No contact." He promised.

She nodded and put her right arm around his neck and jerked him forward into her. Wrapping his arms around her body he jerked her tighter against him. His hands found the bottom of her short dress – and he soon had it yanked over her hip, and his fingers were under her boy pants near her entrance. He managed to enter her with his three fingers as he used his other hand to push the material to the side. It didn't matter to him that the underwear would remain firmly around her waist – he knew how to work around it.

He was inside her within a minute after pulling out his fingers. He didn't want his fingers to do all the work and have all the fun. She didn't want that either. She pushed him hard against the wall when she grew impatient with just his fingers. He was happy to obey her demands. He twisted her around her around and slammed her against the wall.

Slamming repeating into her – her silent screams drew him on and on. He knew that she wanted it as rough as he could give. He was happy to comply. She slapped him against the face – and he grew hot and angry. He knew that she truly wanted it rough and dirty.

He gripped her hips underneath her dress. He knew that he was bruising and hurting her. But he knew she truly needed that in this from him.

It was over in a blur. He just looked at her as he was buttoning up his shirt. "That was great. Are you sure you don't want to do it again?"

"If I ever see you come near me – than I'll shoot you." She breathed.

He couldn't help but smirk. "Shoot me huh?"

"I own a gun and I know where to aim." She steely said as she just spread her bruised body against the wall. The damn dress was still in place. Expect for the winkles at the bottom.

"Gotcha. No contact. I keep my promises." He nodded. "I hope I didn't hurt you too much."

"Leave." She said in a steel voice turning away from him.

"Look if you need to contact me, I'll be at the bar. If you are more injured than either of us intended – than I need to know. I'll pay for the doctor bills." He said.

"I won't contact you. Ever." She turned back to face him with deadness in her eyes.

"As you wish." He said with one last look before turning and leaving the alley.

Robin gathered her self back together. She smoothed the dress back and made sure that her hair wasn't too messed up. She walked from the alley and headed towards home. It was time to get some needed sleep.
