A/N: Helloooooo! I am officially finished with my studies and receiving my degree in December. Happy dance! So I'm sorry for the long wait. I've been studying my butt off, but it was totally worth it. At least now I'll be able to spend some more time writing. So without wasting anymore of your time, on with the story!

Jamie POV

Wow. Just wow. That was all I kept thinking as I changed back into my own clothes and smoothed my hand down my face. Dakota could kiss. Really kiss. Or maybe our styles of kissing complimented each other. Whatever it was, I hadn't experienced kisses this sweet and passionate and addictive in what felt like never. But then again, what did I expect? Dakota had been surprising me since the day I met her.

She was standing over by the craft services table, looking at the different sandwiches and snacks, but not making a move to take anything. She seemed kind of lost in thought and didn't notice me until I was standing beside her.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I asked.

Her head whipped around and her eyes found mine, before a little smile spread across her lips. "Jamie, I didn't recognise you without your lips attached to mine."

I laughed out loud before sending her a playful grin. "Well then let me help you remember." I'm not sure where the courage came from, maybe from having my tongue in her mouth off and on for the last two hours. I took a step closer to her and dropped a quick, chaste peck on her still swollen lips, before stepping back again, keeping the playful expression on my face to cover my lapse in forethought. "Recognize me now?"

She looked surprised, but only for a second before she joked back. "Oh, right. Now I see. Jamie, right?" she asked with a chuckle.

"Yes, it is I, Sir Jamie," I tried in my best British accent. "Deflowerer of virgins, destroyer of innocence and dampener of panties." At this, she burst into laughter, and it was the sweetest sound I've ever heard.

"Oh really?" she challenged, still giggling. "And what does that make me?"

I put on my best charming grin. "Ah, you are the fair Lady Dakota. Biter of lips, stealer of hearts and creator of boners." This time I joined her laughter and when Sam approached us, we were still clutching our stomachs. It was nice to laugh after all the tension of the day. Things always seemed funnier after such a serious time. Sam gave us a second to regain our breaths and simmer down to a giggle.

"Do I want to know?" she asked, looking between the two of us and a chuckling Tom and Derek, two of the sound guys who were around to catch our ridiculous conversation.

"Why don't you ask Sir Jamie over there?" Tom joked, never one to pass up the opportunity. It was good to have people like him on set to keep things light. His comment had Dakota giggling again and I couldn't wipe my own grin from my face.

"Anyway," Sam started, looking amused. "We're going to have a meeting tomorrow night after filming to run through the first love scene, the one where Christian takes Ana's virginity." That brought everyone back to business mode and we nodded. "There's a lot to be discussed before a scene like that so I need you both to attend."

"We'll be there," Dakota affirmed and I nodded my agreement.

"Okay good," she smiled. "Take a look through the scene and get familiar with it. As you know, it's quite detailed and a lot to remember, but think of it as choreography. But we'll get to that in rehearsal on Friday. We'll discuss it all at the meeting." She stepped closer and grasped both our shoulders with a happy grin. "You two were amazing today. I'm sure you will knock the love scenes right out of the park, as the Americans would say. You have the rest of the day off, so go home and relax. I'll see you both tomorrow morning."

With that, she turned on her heel and hurried over to talk to some people behind the monitors. She would have to see to the new footage and get it to editing and go through it all again and again with the editors to pick the perfect shots for the perfect scene. The thought that so many different people will be spending hours looking at footage of Dakota and I kissing was a little strange. But it didn't bother me. I was proud of our kisses. They looked good. Not to mention a hidden, primal part of me that wanted everyone to see me claim her.

I shook my head to get rid of the dangerous thoughts and looked back at the object of those thoughts. Dakota was looking after Sam, biting her lip, something she did from time to time. That was probably one of the reasons they cast her. She made that lip bite so sexy, it was enough to bring a man to his knees.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow, then?" I asked, bringing her back from wherever her mind was. Her lip popped free from her teeth and she brought her gaze to mine, seeming almost embarrassed at being caught. I would've given anything to know what she had been thinking.

Her beautiful smile appeared. "Yeah, bright and early." She reached for the backpack she always brought to set and hoisted it over one shoulder. "I've got Eloise coming over for dinner and a movie. Should be fun."

I nodded and chuckled at the thought of Dakota and Eloise gossiping on the couch. For a second I wondered if they would be talking about me, then realized that they probably would. After all the kissing we did today, it was bound to come up. I decided that I didn't mind, seeing as the thought of Dakota talking and thinking about me in any way made me feel all giddy.

"Well, I hope you girls have fun. Don't do anything I wouldn't do." I winked at her and she rolled her eyes.

"God only knows what you would do, Jamie," she countered. "Maybe like, I dunno, star in an erotic romance?"

I laughed. "Well now that's just the pot calling the kettle black, Dakota."

She smiled, her eyes shining with amusement. "Have a good night. I'll see you tomorrow." With that, she stepped closer and stood up on her toes to give my cheek a quick peck. Almost like what I had done to her earlier, albeit more innocent.

"Goodnight," I grinned. She sent me one more smile before turning and heading towards the door.
