The two finally manage to get to the breakfast portion of the morning and that talk they have been avoiding.

Chapter 6: Hair of the Dog
Colin is standing – sans clothing – in Steph's kitchen with one hand on the skillet and the other holding a turner. She jumps up to sit on the counter, her thin silk robe tied loosely at her waist. She peeks over the stove to catch a glimpse at his concoction – there are only a few things he knows how to make for himself after all.
Before she can comment on the making of her favorite breakfast food, he speaks. "Shall we have that talk now?" Colin eyes here dubiously, "They one you kept distracting me from."
"It was hardly just me doing the distracting," Steph scoffs, leaning back onto the counter and enjoying the way Colin's eyes follow her arching back.
"We should talk about this," Colin looks determinedly at the stove.
"This what?" Steph teases, hopping down to make coffee. The extent of her kitchen prowess that does not include a cookie mix.
Colin sighs, "Exactly."
"We're…" Steph scrunches up her face before leaning on the counter beside him, "exploring a new side of our relationship."
"And you call lawyers fast-talkers," Colin chuckles, flipping food without incident. Steph's eyebrows scrunch together, a little jealous of this skill he has.
"Learned from the best," she rambles out, smiling at him. He shakes his head.
"Whatever you call it," he continued, "We are having a lot of sex and we've told no one about the development."
"Should we?" Steph arches an eyebrow, trying to imagine Colin explaining this to Finn or Logan. They both looked at her like a sister, their faces would be amusing to say the least.
"Probably not," Colin admits as he plops the contents of the skillet onto a plate, "however, I think we should go to dinner."
He offers her the plate, and she vaguely wonders if he timed this on purpose, "Like a date?" She takes the omelet, it looks too good to punish for Colin's nefarious plots.
"Like an exploratory dinner," Colin corrects her as he starts whisking his own omelet up, "to decide how far and long we'd like to let this development grow."
"Nice fast-talking, lawyer" Steph grins at him, seeing through his deception to the nervous man below.
Colin laughs, "Yes, well, it would be a shame if my father paid 60K a year to send me to school and I didn't learn anything."
