A/N 1: Just a little speculation as to why Bennet hates Caroline as much as she does. Kind of an experimental piece.

A/N 2: A big thank you to Sheady16, who pointed out a redundancy in my earlier draft of this.


"You ready for the chair?" Caroline looked at me expectantly, waiting anxiously for an answer.

"Oh no, really. I-I can't."

"Aww come on; we'll make you a knock-out." She grabbed my hand, leading me over to the chair, gently setting me down into it. "Now, tilt your head back."

"No, really, I don't need this."

Caroline smiled at me. "No, we want to make you look good for your job interview."

I chuckled as she wet my hair. "I'm working in a science lab. With mice."

"Then they'll love this." I smiled, finding myself feeling oddly relaxed under the touch of her fingers as she worked the hair color in. "This should be closer to your natural color."

I closed my eyes as she ran her fingers through my hair, first making sure the color was all the way in, then rinsing and applying the shampoo. "You know, no one's ever done this before."

Caroline laughed. "What? Wash your hair?"

I chuckled. "No. No one's ever cared."

The motion of her massaging fingers stopped. I cautiously opened an eye, then gulped to find her staring at me intensely. She leaned down, shampoo dripping off her hands. leaning in closer, until her lips touched mine.

My entire body shivered at the touch. I leaned into her, deepening the kiss as my hands tangled themselves in her hair. Before I realized what was happening, she was on top of me, her body pulsing against mine as her hands snaked under my shirt, unhooking my bra.

I moaned with pleasure as the bra came off, somehow finding it's way onto the bed. Caroline's hand cupped one of my breasts, holding it lightly as my shirt came off in one swift movement.

"How do you like that?" she teased. I opened an eye, mouth falling open as Caroline took off her shirt, revealing as black lacy bra underneath.

I sat up, grabbing her around the waist, pulling her close. "It's…good," I breathed, my breath catching in my throat as she kissed me.

She stopped kissing me, cupping my face in her hands. "What's say we continue this over on the bed?" She climbed off me, then grabbed me by my shoulders, pulling me out of the chair, then waling backwards as she slipped her tongue down my throat.

My entire body tingled as she continued pulling me toward the bed, the two of us collapsing onto it, becoming a tangled mess of arms and legs.


"Now that was adventurous." Caroline smiled at me, pulling the sheet tighter around her.

I nodded wordlessly, trying to find my voice. "That was amazing," I squeaked out. I shook my head, trying to dislodge the fog from my brain. "Do you do that often?"

She raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Can't say that I have. I don't know Bennet…" she trailed off, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. "Something about you, I guess." She stared at me intensely, causing me to blush. "At any rate, I'd be open to doing this again."

I gulped. "The sex or…?"

Caroline laughed. "No, not just the sex. I mean…a relationship." She scooted closer to me, spooning me. "I said I was adventurous…how would you like to go on this adventure with me? See where it leads?

I smiled as she pulled me closer. "Well…I guess there's a first time for everything."
