A/N: This chapter will be rated M for Mature ;) It's very short but hopefully makes up for it in detail :)

What Almost Was

As Niles and CC walked into the house through the back door in the kitchen, they were shocked to find Maxwell at the table reading the paper.

"Mr. Sheffield, what are you doing here instead of your office?" Niles felt his throat drop to his stomach as he thought about what he could have seen.

"Oh, old man, I decided to switch up my routi-" Maxwell's eyes widened as he looked up to see CC and the odd look of her shirt. "Uh, CC, your shirt is- uh" he pointed to her chest as his eyes looked anywhere else.

CC looked down to see her nude, lacy colored bra nearly exposed before she gasped softly and quickly buttoned her- more like his- shirt back up.

"I uh- I think my routine was fine the way it was." Maxwell got up from the kitchen table and walked into the living room to make his way back to the office.

Niles let out a deep sigh of relief before he looked over at CC and couldn't help but grin that lop-sided grin at the sight of her dripping wet. "You look absolutely stunning, Miss Babcock."

CC couldn't help but blush at the words that he spoke. She loved this new side of him, no matter how weird it was. "You know, I don't what what has made you change your attitude toward me, but I like it."

Niles eyes widened as he thought to her blog. He couldn't tell her that he knew about it. At least not yet.

"Well I thought doing that would distract you from me dropping the umbrella and I could see if you'd really melt."

CC glared at him and yet a sneaky smirk played across her red lips.

"Shall we get you out of those clothes, Miss Babcock?" He knew he couldn't tell her about his knowing of the blog. She'd think all this was just to tease her and that he was just going to make fun of her for it.

"Well, that depends. Are you going to assist me?" She gave off a raised eyebrow and a seductive smirk as she looked at the stunned Butler before her.

Niles quickly swallowed a lump in his throat before he extended his arm to her and she linked hers with it.

They walked up the stairs from the kitchen and when they got to the guest room, he stopped and CC continued to walk in. When she noticed he wasn't following her, she turned around with a confused look on her face.

"You coming in? I don't bite. Well not as hard as you did earlier." She smirked before she walked over to him and grabbed him by his tie before kissing him deeply, pulling him inside with her before pushing the door closed behind her.

Niles quickly placed his hands on her waist as he got lost in the kiss. He quickly swept CC off the ground and quickly walked her to the bed before he slowly placed her down on it. "Are you sure you want this, Miss Babcock?" He looked deep into her sky blue eyes as she could see her reflection in his.

CC slowly shook her head at him and Niles' heart break. He slowly moved himself off her body but before he could full get off of her, she pulled him back down, making him hold himself up by his hands on either side of her.

"I, 'CC', want this" She gave off a soft smile as she saw the matching grin return to his face and the sparkle in his eyes. He pressed his lips against hers and she quickly let out a low moan before their tongues started to wrestle. She then moved her hands to his tie, undoing it before she pulled it off around his neck. As she pulled his dress shirt out of his slacks, she could feel his skin before she let her hands roam up his shirt. "Oh Niles, you feel so strong," she cooed as his lips moved down to her neck. "Do what you did in the rain, Niles. Please."

Niles' heart beat a mile a minute as he listened to her plead. He quickly made work of her shirt as he ripped open the top buttons of her shirt, this time deciding to surprise her by soon after ripping her entire shirt open. CC let out a moan of pleasure as she couldn't get over how 'animalistic' he was with her.

CC arched her back a bit letting her contained breasts push up to his face. He quickly slipped his hand before her and lifted her up before he unhooked her bra and slid the straps down her arms. He then laid her back down and sat up to take in her bare upper body before him.

"My God, you are even more stunning now than you were in the rain. I didn't think that was possible" he whispered with a sly smile on his face before he buried his face into her chest and kissed up and down the valley of her full, perky breasts. Every day he would find himself staring at her gorgeous body and never had he thought he'd actually get to see it in his natural look.

"Wait until you take my panties off" CC moaned with a smirk before she ran her fingers up and through his unruly hair.

Niles eyes widened and he swallowed yet another lump in his throat before he looked up and moved to the side of her body, unzipping her dress pants before he slowly pulled them down. CC watched with a smile as she watched the facial expressions that changed on Niles' face, ranging from shocked to pleasure to down right astonished. After he had gotten her pants off all the way he slid a finger up each side of her lacy, black panties before slowly pulling them down as well. An audible gasp escaped Niles' lips as he stared at her entire naked body.

"Niles, aren't you going to say or... do something?" She looked into his eyes as he locked his with hers. An obvious smirk appeared on her face once again as she couldn't get over the intense feeling she was experiencing with Niles of all people.

Niles slowly nodded before he placed his hand on the inner part of her thigh, letting ride up, feeling the softness of her porcelain skin. "You're so soft, CC" It feels so wrong saying her first name, and yet it feels so right.

He slowly moved his hand higher, watching as CC's breathing grew heavier, before one of his fingers danced around the dark curls of her wet core and her eyes rolled in the back of her head as her toes curled.

"Oh Ni-!"

"Niiiiiiiiiiiiles!"

The voice of British wealth filled the house before both Niles and C.C gasped in complete surprise.

mwahaha; cliff hanger :)
