Note From The Author—As is common with me, I was listening to a CD and was struck with another idea. This will be a great deal like Melanger and the two Awake pieces. What I'm doing is taking my favorite lyrics from my favorite songs by Alexz Johnson on Instant Star and writing a very short story for each lyric; potentially various pairings but obviously more focused on Stella and Flack. If you've never heard her music I very strongly suggest it; her voice is gorgeous, and the show was very good, if not a little cheesy from time to time : ) Enjoy
Disclaimer—I don't own the characters of CSI: NY or the music of Alexz Johnson on the television show Instant Star.
Tell me you love me like a star
Tell me you want me wherever you are
Tell me you'll breathe me 'til your last breath

Everything was hazy, lost to a cloud of lust and stolen promises. Stella couldn't remember how they had gotten there, but she didn't care. Clothing had melted away, inhibitions fled, and for a moment all she could hear was the mantra pounding in her head: This is it. This. Him. Her breathing was ragged as Don's hands dragged up her body, head thrown back as her throaty moan echoed through the room. How long had she been waiting for this, exactly this?
"What do you want Stell?"
God, that voice. It was that voice and those electric blue eyes of his that had landed them there; half naked, pressed up against her door. It was the way he had looked at her, and the way his voice had deepened with desire as he said her name.
"Stell," he persisted. "What do you want?"
"Everything," she whispered. "I want it all." His mouth was on her neck, his hands everywhere, and she knew she should have been content. Still her traitorous mouth opened again. "Lie to me; tell me you need me, tell me you love me."
Don's hand fisted in her hair at the back of her head, pulling her gently up so he could look in her eyes; what she saw there made her knees go weak before he said another word. Then he spoke.
"It wouldn't be a lie."
