A/N: What would happen if the world as you knew it, changed over night? Well, that's what happens in this little tale. Niles/CC and Max/Fran.

REVERSAL OF FORTUNE

Chapter 10

When the vows were said and the rings exchanged and the kiss applauded, the party really got going. Niles and CC joined their guests in all the most popular 'wedding' dances. Niles decided that he just loved watching CC do the 'chicken dance' and he'd never let her live it down. The evening was winding down and Niles and CC thought it was time for them to take their leave. Niles and CC explained to Max and Fran that they wouldn't be staying at the manor for their wedding night, but that they would return in the morning.

Henderson, already in his place at the door made the exit announcement. "Lord and Lady Brightmore bid you adieu," He said as Niles and CC left the ballroom to change into 'travel clothes'.

"Where are we going to spend the night, Niles?" CC asked him as they made their way to their room.

Niles smirked. "That's just part of your wedding surprise, my Lady."

"Niles, you promised no more extravagant gifts!" CC stopped when they reached the top of the stairs.

Niles pulled her up the hall to their room. "I didn't say it was extravagant. It's just not under the same roof as Max, Fran, the children, the Fine's and my parents!"

"Good point. Let's go, my Lord." CC smiled that evil smiled that Niles loves.

After they changed and Niles tossed a few things into a bag for them in the morning he turned to his bride. "Ready to go, Love?"

"Ready and willing!" CC winked. "Niles, do I have to call you my Lord when we're here?"

Niles laughed. "Only if you want to." Niles leaned in and kissed her softly. "You're my wife, not my 'subject'. Not that I actually have any subjects except for family."

"Then we'll keep if for special occasions." CC smiled. "Now, lets go!"

Niles led CC down the stairs to through the back hallway and out the back sitting room to the patio where two horses were saddled and waiting. "Your mount, my Lady."

"You're the only mount I want tonight, Niles." CC snuggled into him.

Niles shook his head. "Just get on the horse."

Niles gave CC a leg up and once she was seated he mounted his horse and turned to her. "Follow me."


They arrived in fairly quick fashion at the very small building that if CC didn't know better she'd swear was a children's playhouse. "Niles…what's this?"

"My ancestor's 'special place', he had it built just after the manor house was completed." Niles helped her off her horse.

CC frowned. "It's uh…"

"It's a shack?" Niles finished for her.

CC nodded as politely as she could. "Sorry."

Niles laughed. "Don't be, Love. It's exactly what it was meant to be. The first Lord Brightmore had this 'shack' built so when he needed to get away from all that comes with being a 'Lord', there was a place to go where no one would ever dream of looking for him. This is it."

"Is it safe?" CC gave the 'shack' the once over. "It looks like a good wind could bring it to the ground."

Niles winked. "You'll just have to trust me, CC." Niles opened the door and ushered CC inside. What she saw was nothing short of amazing. It was a shack from the outside, but from the inside it was a cozy cabin. It was one big room, maybe 15 feet by 15 feet. There was a small bathroom and a tiny kitchenette that Niles must have added more recently. A huge bed took up one entire wall. There was just enough room for a small sitting area and a small eating area as well. Not that they would be doing much of either.

"Well, does it meet your approval?" Niles asked her.

CC turned and wrapped her arms around his neck. "It's beautiful, Niles. Very romantic, thank you."

"You're welcome, Love." Niles kissed her softly.

CC looked at her husband. "Niles…is it safe for us to be here? I mean, if no one knows about it, then…what if something was to happen to us?"

"Well," Niles gave her his most impish grin. "Something is definitely going to happen to us. Henderson is the only person aware of this place. If we don't return at the appointed time, he'll come after us."

"Lucky Henderson." CC winked at him. Her intended pun wasn't lost on Niles.

Laughing he pulled her into him. "I love you, Lady Brightmore."

"I love you, my Lord." CC decided to play the role of subservient wife…for now. "How may I serve you?"

Niles raised an eyebrow and decided to play along. "I believe I'm ready to retire. See to my clothes."

"Yes, my Lord." CC smiled what Niles recognized to be her cat that will eat the canary look. First she removed the light riding jacket he wore and placed it carefully on the back of a chair. Then one by one CC undid each of the buttons of his shirt and slipped it off his strong shoulders, tossing it onto the chair. Niles decided to forgo the undershirt when he changed out of his wedding clothes so his chest was bare before her. CC took the opportunity to run her hands over his muscular chest and toy a bit with the smattering of reddish blonde hair. She leaned in and dropped a kiss there as her hands dipped down to work on his pants. She quickly unbuckled his belt, undid the button and the loose fitting trousers dropped to the floor leaving him in his snug and sexy boxer briefs. "I like the master's undergarments." CC whispered softly as she slipped her hand beneath the waist band and pulling a gasp from Niles' throat. CC let just a bit of her sultry laugh escape as she pulled the briefs down until they dropped to the floor joining his trousers. "What shall I do now, my Lord?"

Niles nearly leapt onto the bed and leaned back against the carved headboard. "Now, see to your clothes…slowly."

"Very well, my Lord." CC locked eyes with her husband and not once did she falter. She painstakingly undid each button on her royal blue silk blouse, slipped it off her arms and tossed it onto the chair with Niles' shirt. Then she carefully slid her thumbs just under the waistband of her slacks and slowly wiggled her way out of them. Standing before him now in her matching lace bra and panties CC strode to the bed where Niles was obviously 'happy to see her'.

She straddled his waist and he could feel the dampness of her silk panties teasing his arousal. "Woman, I said see to your clothes…I meant all of them."

"I beg your forgiveness, my Lord. But these are much too difficult for me to remove myself." CC leaned forward and took his lips in a deep and heated kiss. She felt Niles twitch a little beneath her and heard the deep groan rumble in his chest.

"Very well, my Lady." Niles kept his eyes locked on CC's as he dipped his finger up through the leg of her panties lightly brushing against her center. CC gasped and her eyes closed with the feel of him so close to her center and could feel the heat between them. With one quick pull Niles tore the panties from her and dropped them to the floor next to the bed.

"My Lord, such aggressive behavior…" CC whispered.

Niles pulled her to him and kissed her deeply. Their tongues danced and stroked and with one quick flick of his fingers her removed the lacy bra and it soon joined the torn panties on the floor. "CC, you are stunning."

"I love you, Niles." CC whispered as she slid back slowly moving her center over him bringing a deep moan from them both. "I have forever, and will forever."

"I love you, CC." Niles rotated his hips just a little toying with her. "I can't remember a time when I didn't." CC leaned down again and Niles turned the tables on her pulling her beneath him. He supported himself on his arms and looked deep into her eyes.

CC looked up at him with all the love she has ever felt for another person pouring from her eyes. "How may I serve you now, my Lord?"

Niles shook his head. "No, my Lady. Now, it is I who will serve you." Niles slid into her so slowly he feared it would all end too soon.

"Oh, God, Niles." CC moaned with near wild abandon since she knew there was no risk of being heard. Her head dropped back and her breathing became shallow and broken. She gasped softly with Niles' every thrust.

"I love you, CC." Niles whispered. "Tell me how to make you happy." Niles kissed her exposed neck and nipped softly at the skin on her shoulders.

CC ran her fingers through his hair and met his lips in a deep and probing kiss. "Don't stop, Niles…please don't stop."

"Never, love." Niles slow and steady pace was nearly killing her. He kissed her mouth, her neck, her shoulders and the soft spot just between her breasts, never altering his building momentum.

CC could feel herself nearing the edge, wanting so much to feel the flood her release, but not wanting to lose the intensity of getting to the edge. "Oh, God, Niles, yes!" CC was past the point of controlling herself. Niles felt her tighten around him as her release washed over him. "Niles!" She moaned more strangled than before.

Niles slowed his pace allowing CC time to ride the wave of euphoria and his eyes never left her face. "You are so beautiful, CC. I will love you forever." Niles whispered and felt her body relax slightly beneath him. "You are mine, and I am yours, always."

"I love you, Niles. You're amazing!" CC kissed him and rolled him onto his back without breaking their connection. "Now, my Lord, I will serve you." CC's eyes met Niles' and she closed her eyes and leaned back forcing him slightly deeper. A soft rumble left him and CC moaned herself. CC rested her hands just behind her on Niles' strong thighs and rolled her hips in little circles. "Oh, Niles…" CC knew as she neared the edge again she'd need Niles to help her over the edge. She leaned forward on his shaft and felt him slip deeper into her.

"CC…I'm getting close…" Niles moaned in a strangled whisper.

CC nipped at his earlobe. "Good…how does it feel, my Lord?" CC slowed her pace building the intensity of their coupling. She knew she was nearing the edge again but wanted to bring Niles with her this time.

"God, woman…" Niles groaned. "You're driving me crazy." Niles took her lips with his and kissed her deeply roaming and probing her mouth with his tongue. "The things I'm going to do to you…"

CC was now enjoying her control over him even if it wouldn't last long. "What things, my Lord?" She whispered, her warm breath adding to his growing need to let go.

"I…can't…" Niles struggled to hold on. "I'm…"

CC kissed and sucked softly at his neck. "Let go, Niles…I want to feel you let go, for me…please…" CC moaned on a soft whisper just below his ear. "I love you, Niles…let's go together…"

Their final explosion together signaled not an end, but a beginning. A beginning of a life together filled with love and passion and desire and devotion. The Lord and Lady Brightmore, would forever, until parted by death, find new ways to love and to serve each other.
