Hello my fellow Leverage fans! First off, I was amazed and thrilled so many of you liked this story! Since it was so well recieved I decided to continue this story. A few wanted me to write their first date and so on, so I am.

I hope I stayed true to Eliot and Parker in this chapter. I was kinda iffy on it, but I hope you enjoy it. (I wrote this while watching a few episodes of Leverage!)

Anyway, remember to please review at the end!


Parker arrived at her home, for the moment another warehouse, and gently carried her little plant to a small table and set it down in the center. She sighed with a smile at the thought of the man who sent her this precious plant. She moved to sit on her bed, and reached over to grab the bunny pressed up against the pillow. She wrapped her arms tightly around it, and once again sighed as she sat down.

"That's new." A deep voice replied from behind her.

Parker stood up quickly and turned to face the intruder. She smiled, and let out a giggle as she gently dropped bunny on the bed and ran to him with arms stretched out wide. When she reached him, she leaped into his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist.

Eliot grunted as he captured her weight in his arms, and wrapped his left arm tightly around her waist.

"Whoa, Parker." He stated as he held her tight.

She stayed in his arms for a minute and then jumped down to look at him. Her arms remained wrapped around his neck as she gazed into his pale green eyes.

"How did you find me?" She whispered, tilting her head curiously.

Eliot narrowed his eyes, and gave her a smirk. "I found you before, Parker." He replied, with a quiet laugh.

"Okay, next question, what are you doing here?" She asked him shaking off his answer for now, and moved her hands to his chest, but her eyes never left his.

"I think you know, Parker." He replied quirking a brow slightly.

"I've already thanked you for the plant. What more do you want?" She asked with a shy smile.

Eliot sighed, and backed away from her. He raised his right hand and ran it through his long hair. He turned away, and walked to the small plant on the newly acquired table.

Parker watched as he reached out and gently touched the plant for a second before she made her move.

"Eliot, what's the matter?" She asked, stepping over to her bed, again not wanting to get too close.

Eliot let out a breathy sigh, and turned to find her sitting on her bed, holding her bunny in her hands lightly, but looking at him.

"I've never been allowed to care for anyone nor have I ever wanted to." He walked over and sat down beside her on the bed before he continued. "I didn't want to care about anyone because, in my line of work, I didn't want to endanger them."

"Why are you telling me this?" Parker asked, eyeing him carefully, continuing to play with the bunny.

"I want you to understand something." He answered looking straight ahead and then turning his head to look at her. "I've never cared about anyone before, except my family." He whispered the last two words in pain. "When I joined this team, I made a vow to protect all of you, to be the hitter. I never planned on caring for ya'll, especially you, Parker." He stated with a small smile. "When I told you that I cared for you, this afternoon, I meant it. I care for you, a lot." He replied with a deep swallow and a nervous voice.

"I want ask you." He drifted off, looking down at his hands, not wanting to look at her.

"What, Eliot?" She asked, leaning on him with a small hint of playfulness.

"Wo…would you…" He began nervously, avoiding any kind of eye contact by keeping his eyes downcast. "Would you like to, um… go out with me?" He finished with a slight blush on his cheek.

"Go out? Like on a date or as friends?" Parker asked, unsure about what he was asking.

"On a date, Parker." Eliot stated gruffly, with slight irritation, but Parker saw a teasing in his eyes.

Parker blushed, and dipped her head. She looked at her bunny with newfound fascination, and then felt Eliot watching her. She looked up and found her feelings were right. He was staring at her; he was staring softly at her, causing shivers through her body.

"I would like that very much." She whispered in a low shy voice with a blush on her cheeks.

Eliot let out a small chuckle before nodding. Parker gave a small laugh in return and leaped into his arms, pushing them both on the bed.

"Dammit Parker." Eliot grunted as his head hit the mattress with Parker on top of him.

Parker giggled and moved her head throwing her hair to the left side and smiled down at him as she propped herself on her left elbow. Using her right hand, she moved his hair from his face. Eliot moved his head slightly to his left and eyed her carefully.

Parker blushed at the look on his face. "Does this mean we are a couple? Isn't that what they say?" She asked, unknowingly playing with his sprawled out hair.

Eliot smiled, and moved his left hand to her face, and gently moved a stray of hair away from her face. "If you want to be." He whispered gruffly.

Parker shuddered with excitement and nodded. "I want to be." She replied with a small giggle and blush.

Eliot let out a throaty laugh, and brushed her face. "Come here." He whispered in a low sultry voice.

Parker smiled and melted as she lowered her head to his. "Or what?" She whispered, only an inch from his lips.

Eliot growled, and flipped them over, with him on top. The bunny, which Parker had dropped on the bed when she had leaped on Eliot, ended up underneath Parker. She frowned as she felt the bunny underneath her.

"Oh," She whimpered, moving just a little bit.

"What is it, Parker?" Eliot growled, looking at her with desire in his narrowed eyes.

"I'm squishing my bunny." She frowned, sticking her lower lip out, and moving a little bit more, trying to get the bunny from underneath.

Eliot growled and reached underneath her and grabbed the bunny. He pulled it out, and shook it in front of her face, and raised his brows. "This is what you were frowning about?" He replied with a chuckle, and a glare.

Parker picked up on the teasing, mainly because she knew Eliot would never hurt her, and smiled. "Yes, now give him to me." She replied, trying to snatch her bunny from Eliot's hand.

Eliot moved the bunny out of her reach, and smiled as she squirmed to reach her bunny. Eliot began to laugh at her antics, and continued to pin her down as she reached. His laughter was contagious, and pretty soon she was laughing.

"Please give me my bunny, Eliot." She replied through her laughter.

Eliot let out a throaty laugh and shook his head. "I don't think so." He replied, holding the bunny further away.

Parker stopped squirming and captured his eyes; her laughter died down. Eliot stopped moving and held her eyes. For a moment, time seemed to stand still as they held each other's eyes. At least, that was what Eliot thought, until he let his guard down enough for Parker to grab her bunny.

"That's just wrong." Eliot growled out, as Parker clutched her bunny close.

Parker shook her head, and giggled. "No, it's not wrong." She laughed and caught his eyes once again. "You didn't answer my question." She whispered, with quirk of her brow, and gently laid her bunny beside her.

Eliot tilted his head and smirked. "Do you really want to know, Parker?" He replied, softly.

Parker nodded and lifted her right hand to his face and her left to his long soft hair. "I want to know." She whispered, stroking his face and hair.

Eliot smiled, and lowered his head. "Are you sure, because if I tell you there is no going back." He whispered, huskily and his eyes filled with tenderness.

Parker smiled, and nodded. "I'm sure, Eliot." She whispered, pulling his head down to hers.

Eliot stopped and pulled up a fraction. "What about Hardison?" He asked, stroking her face with his right hand.

Parker softened. "Hardison is like my brother. I only want you, Eliot." She whispered, bashfully.

"You have me, Parker. You have me." He whispered back, and lowered his head, and finally placed his lips on hers.

It started off a slow sensuous kiss, but very quickly developed into a passion that had been building up for the past three years. Eliot's hands roamed over Parker's body and slowly edged her shirt up her body.

Parker moaned as his fingers touched her skin. This action caused Eliot to delve deeper into her mouth. She moaned and felt his tongue roam around her mouth and she copied his action, by touching her tongue to his. Eliot moaned at her movement, and felt her hands reaching for the bottom of his Henley shirt.

He sat up and pulled his shirt off, to reveal a very handsome sexy well-toned body. Parker sat up and licked her lips. Crossing her arms, she reached down and pulled her shirt over her head, leaving her only in a lacy black bra.

Eliot pulled her back to his lips, and kissed her once and then moved down to her neck. Parker smiled as he kissed her neck, opening his mouth with each gentle, but passionate kiss.

"Would this be considered as a date?" She whispered, in a raspy desire filled tone.

Eliot pulled back, and looked at her with breathless tenderness. "If you want it to be, but we could stop before we go any further." He added with a low impassioned tone, gazing into her eyes.

Parker nodded, and reached up to stroke his sweat covered face. "I want you, Eliot." She whispered, but shook her head. "But I do want to wait."

"You're telling me this now." Eliot grumbled, but Parker saw respect in his eyes.

"You asked, Eliot." She stated with a small smile.

Eliot nodded, and ran his hands through his hair. "I know; it's just you are so damn beautiful, especially with your shirt off, and my control is not doing so hot." He replied, seductively.

Parker smiled, and ran her hands up and down his muscled chest. "You think it's easy for me when you look like a piece of art in front of me." She whispered with lust filled eyes.

Eliot leaned down and gently kissed her on her lips, but pulled back, respecting her decision to wait. "We better get out of here, before I forget I'm a gentleman." He replied, standing up and retrieving his shirt from the floor and slipping it back on.

Parker giggled and watched him as she put her shirt back on as well. It was nice to know she could turn a man on the way she did Eliot. She stood up and threw her arms around his neck.

"Where are going?" She asked, with a sly smile.

Eliot reached up with his left hand and gently stroked her hair, placing it behind her ear. "Where ever you want darling. Where ever you want." He whispered, with a smile and leaned down to give her a kiss on the lips.

Parker smiled, as his lips landed, and her hands went to his hair as he pulled back and peered into her eyes.

Parker sighed and sent a glance to the plant that had started this wonderful relationship.

"I know the perfect place." She whispered, and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

With a sly look on her face, Parker grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the warehouse. Eliot smiling along the way.


What did you think? Any good?

I know I mentioned Hardison in this chapter, because I didn't want them to just begin a relationship or go any further without getting him out of the way, sort of.

Again, I love Hardison, just not with Parker. No offense to Hardison/Parker fans. It's a matter of opinion, anyway.

I plan on a few more chapters so let me know what you would like to see in future chapters, and I will try to make it happen.

Until Next Time...
