Author: SneetchesToo
Rating: Mature (language and mentions to some sexual stuff, nothing too explicit though)
Pairing: Ethan/Leanne
Summary: Ethan and Leanne aren't nearly as good at being sneaky as they think they are.
Author's Note: This started out as a much simpler idea, but, like most of my prompts, it got wildly out of control. So, here we have it, the seven times Ethan and Leanne get caught in compromising positions.

Chapter 1 - Ariel
The first time they get caught it's a simple mistake on their part.
A simple action that they didn't think all the way through.
Ethan had asked Leanne out on a date.
Finally. After a year and a half of dancing around the topic. He finally broke down and did it.
He had taken her to a nice dinner. And then on a walk along the beach.
It had been simple and romantic and yet, it was what she liked to do, so he had run with it.
He hadn't told Ariel about his plans.
And Leanne had decided not to tell the teen either.
They both knew that she wanted them to get together. That she was their biggest fan.
But neither one of them wanted to disappoint her if the date had gone horribly wrong. So instead, they kept their plans to themselves.
Rather they had told the teen a little white lie and had left for their date straight from Angels.
But then the date had gone extremely well.
And Ethan had wanted to end it with a kiss.
After all, he had been waiting nineteen long months to finally feel Leanne's lips against his.
And he certainly wasn't about to wait any longer.
"Goodnight Ethan." Her voice was soft as she trailed her fingers down the lapels of his leather jacket.
He thought she had never looked so beautiful. Standing there in the porch light with her loose curls hanging over her shoulders. Her tan legs peeking out from under the simple sun dress she had worn.
He had been incredibly thankful that she had ditched the scrubs at the hospital in favor of something more relaxed.
Especially when he realized how great her ass looked in that dress.
"Goodnight Leanne." He whispered back.
He pushed some of her hair from the nape of her neck and she let out a soft sigh.
He could tell that she wanted the same thing he did.
He wasn't blind. He knew when women were into him. And boy, were the feelings mutual.
She leaned up to kiss him before he could make the first move and he felt like a shock wave had been sent through his body.
Kissing Leanne was probably the single most enjoyable thing he had ever done in his entire life.
And before he knew it his fingers were tangled in her hair and her hands were tugging on his jacket as she tried to pull him closer.
He had been pegging her for a simple kiss goodnight.
Not a make-out session on the front porch.
However, the next thing he knew, the front door was being opened. And then he heard a gasp that he recognized all too well.
"Oh gross!" Ariel's voice was full of both humor and disgust and he pulled away from Leanne so fast he was surprised she didn't fall over.
"Ariel!" Leanne's voice was stern, but he could see that it was more from shock than anything else.
"How long have you guys been out here making out?" The teen crossed her arms over her chest and gave them both a pointed look.
They were in trouble. And they knew it.
"We were not making out." He pointed a finger at the teen as he tried to catch his breath.
They surely would have been making out though if she hadn't interrupted them.
And if she hadn't been home at all, well Ethan didn't even want to let his mind go there.
"Well you were certainly doing more than just kissing goodnight." She huffed.
The kid was on to them.
"Was that the first time?" She eyed them both suspiciously and he felt like a teenager again. "I mean, have you guys been doing that for a while?"
"Tonight was our first date Ariel." Leanne sounded like she was talking to a five year old. Not an almost fifteen year old.
"So your first time kissing each other then?" She looked more shocked than anything.
"Yes Ariel." He ran his hands through his hair as he let out a frustrated sigh.
This was certainly not how he wanted this night to end.
"It took you guys long enough." She beamed back at them then, her eyes softening with her words. "Don't stay up too late."
And then she was gone. Her long legs carrying her back up the stairs as they both stood on the porch in shock.
They had just been busted kissing like fools by their teenage daughter.
And she didn't seem the least bit phased by it.
Ethan didn't know if they should feel good or bad about that.
"I guess I should go." He whispered.
He really needed to get home. Mainly because he couldn't keep the thought of kissing Leanne out of his head.
He figured a cold shower was in his future.
"Yeah." She let out a soft breath as she turned to face him. The smile she wore on her lips made his heart race in his chest. "Rain check?"
"On the kissing?" He raised an eyebrow and she shook her head.
This woman was going to be the death of him.
"How about breakfast on Monday?" He knew she had to work tomorrow, while he, had the day off.
He had been planning on spending it with Ariel. Now, he wasn't so sure. The teen was surely going to question him and he didn't know if he was prepared for all of that.
"I'll come over after I drop her off at school?" Her hands were back on his chest and her eyes were shining in the now darkening light.
"I'll be there." He leaned in and pressed his lips against hers before either one of them could speak another word.
They were definitely going to have to work on their sneakiness.
He figured Monday morning was as good a time as any.
