Summary: in the middle of the night, Nick wants some milk and Zoe wants the Pack Legacy.

Pairings: Zoe/Nick, implied one-sided Zoe/Elena

If he hadn't been getting a glass of milk he wouldn't have known she was there until it was too late and they would have filed a case of breaking and entry to the police. Or questioned Karl thoroughly.

"Zoe?" Nick squinted. "Is that you?"

"Shit, I really need to rework on my stealth skills if you caught me"

"Thanks" Nick muttered sarcastically. He was increasingly getting fed up with being underestimated by every single living thing.

"How you're doing, gorgeous?"

Zoe was a natural flirt as he was. Though her interests lied more in Elena than him, however she was a petite dark haired beauty who didn't need any sort of make-up or designer clothes to feel beautiful. And he found that rather attractive if he must say so himself, he really wouldn't mind a date with Zoe. The fact she was a vampire and a thief just made her far more attractive in his mind.

"I'm good. What brought you here, honey? Finally realised how much you missed me and wanted a long private catch up?" he flirted back.

She chuckled. "Sorry gorgeous but I'm on a job"

"Nothing really valuable here" Nick said dismissively. In his mind there really wasn't much valuable here. Maybe Jeremy's art but that's really it. There were no proper jewels to be stolen or high-tech stuff.

"Oh I'm sure there's a few bits and bobs...including the Pack Legacy"

"You want the Pack Legacy?" Zoe nodded. "Why? It's so boring and dull"

"My new client is a werewolf who recently came into his powers. He was raised by very rich humans who died recently. He wants to know his heritage and is paying me a lot of money to get a book on it"

Nick rolled his eyes. "Just tell the kid to come to Stonehaven and we'll look into him joining the Pack. We could use more people"

"Even though you have two new recruits?"

"Reese and Noah? Yeah and we have a third but the more the merrier"

"The more allies you mean"

"That too"

"Tell you what, I'll steal the Pack Legacy and my client can come and do a visit while returning it to you"

"Only, if you go out on a date with me"

Zoe leaned back against the wall looking rather thoughtful. A good sign. "I don't know. When you're as old as I am there's not a lot a man could do to impress you"

"It's much easier if you just tell me where you want to go"

"But what if I said I wanted Paris?"

"Then I'll pay for your flight ticket and treat you to a wonderful weekend in the city of love. We'll be focusing on the love part a lot, preferably in a five star hotel room"

Zoe chuckled again. "Persuasive. I'm very tempted"

Nick leaned in and pressed his lips gently on hers. He moved them in his best sensual and seductive way. The one he saved for the girls who really put up a fight and want something a little more than just one good night of sex. When he pulled away he knew he caught Zoe of guard, not because she looked surprised but because she raised an eyebrow. This is the most he got out of her apart from teasing good nature.

"You have to pick me up from Canada. Next Saturday at seven. I do expect Paris now and if you're lucky you'll get my number"

"Elena already has it"

"I've changed it since then. Now, your end of the deal – where's the Pack Legacy?"

"Elena's bedroom. Good luck getting past Clay"

Nick turned to get his milk. "What you're not going to help me?"

"You're the expert and besides I just wanted some milk. Getting a date was just a bonus"

Grumbling, Zoe muttered, "You better make it a very expensive five star hotel" before creeping up the stairs.

Nick couldn't help but laugh. Elena said he couldn't go anywhere without getting a date and now he's proven her point completely. Now if he went to the bathroom would he manage to pick up another hot thief...?
