Okay I'm corny as hell. So as I wrote this I broke the fourth wall lol anything with bold italic is me LOL. Enjoy.


To say she was nervous was an understatement. She had never spent the weekend away with a guy and it's her teacher of all people. Danny was nervous too, but he thrived under pressure. And she was putting a tight squeeze on him. Eyebrow wiggle.

"Nervous?" Danny asks with a smirk liking the effect he has on her as he starts to trail kisses on her neck. "Don't be. I don't bite." He makes it up to her ear and whispers, "much."

"Ahh." She cries softly. His closeness is sending a chill up her spine, radiating to her shoulder blades. She rolls her head back and to the side.

He breaks away from her and she finds herself instantly missing his touch. They stare at each other panting. Out of breathe. If this was any indication of what was to come, Smirk, then she was sure she wouldn't survive the weekend. She steps backward toward the wall of windows overlooking the city. She begins to remove clothing, tossing her sweater to the side. Never breaking eye contact with him, she pulls her shirt over her head.

He follows her lead and removes his jacket. It dawns on him that she was affecting him just as much as he to her. He would follow this girl anywhere she took him. And that could be into a fire of damnation. He didn't care. Stepping out of his boots he stalks closer to her. Once he's in her face, he presses into her, backing her up against the window. He begins to devour her face with such a hunger. He goes to pick her up and wrap her legs around his waist. He hikes her to the perfect position. Pausing his kiss he hovers over her lips, lightly rubbing them with his own.

"Lacey." He says barely above a whisper, leaning into the crook of her neck.

"Yes." She says breathy.

"Are you hungry?"

She looks at him confused. "Uh yeah. I guess I could eat." She couldn't hide her disappointment.

He drops her and trails his hands up her arms. "Are you hungry? Let's go out."

Still leaning on her neck he says. "Don't hate me but I'm a fan of delayed satisfaction."

"Funny, I use to tell my ex the same thing."

"Smart woman." He grabs her hand and kisses her knuckles. "We have all weekend. I plan on spending it wisely."

"Smart man." She smirks at him.


Before going out, Lacey took this moment to show him around. They collected their discarded items and bags then made their way to the back. Once the tour was finished they got changed and headed out for the evening.

The night air was a welcome change. They hadn't realized the vacuum they had created around each other while they were in the apartment. Sucking the air directly from the other's lungs, consuming them from the inside out. So far it had been contained, because they had no choice but to behave, as much as they could manage, or risk being exposed.

But here, now, in a city where no one knows them as anything but strangers, they could be themselves together without fear or worry.

He took her hand in his as the strolled down the street to a small restaurant. It usually has a little acoustic set going on and Lacey enjoyed that aspect of it.

"This is nice." Danny says looking over at her smiling.

"Yeah it is." She returns. She found herself wanting to ask about the future, with him. It's too soon. She thinks she'll save this conversation for later. After all, they just got everything started.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Danny asks. He notices she was rather quite. "Not still nervous are you? I won't bite you in public." He laughs.

Lacey giggles. "No, no. Just thinking about how this was a good idea." She leans into him playfully bumping him while the continue to walk.

"It was. Don't get me wrong, the sneaking around is hot, just stressful as hell." They laugh. "Hopefully one day we won't have to do that anymore. You know. Depending on how things work out."

He meant that in a way that should've reassured her that he was in it for the long haul. But now that he said it, it sounded aloof. Unsure. I better clarify.

"I'm mean. Work out. Like. I'm not, uh. I want it to work out. As long as you want it to work out." He was rambling.

Maybe he feels like I do. Jokingly she asks, "are you nervous?"

He chuckles, "yeah actually. That came our wrong, didn't want you to get he wrong idea."

"And what's the wrong idea?" She replies challenging him to express himself clearly.

He takes the pressure to clarify himself in stride. "The wrong idea is that we are fleeting. This isn't temporary to me. I don't like to waste time. So I don't. This means something to me."

She felt the full weight of his words. "Good." She leaves it at that. "So here it is."

They walk in and get seated in. The environment is lovely. Low lights and there is soft music from the group up on the tiny stage area.

The evening is filled with conversation and laughter with eating in between. One song starts after they finish their meals and Danny convinces Lacey to dance with him.

Danny takes her hand and he leads her to space in front of the band where they begin to slow dance. Staring at one another like no one else existed except them and the music. The lyrics resonate deep.

Take from me what you want, want you need.

He takes her hand grasping it with a need, pulling it between them as they sway to the music.

My lover, please stay with me

The song fades and he kisses her hand. Danny couldn't believe the pure magic of these moments. He was waiting for something to go wrong.

She looks up to him and he swears no one has ever looked at him like this. "Danny."

"Lacey." Eyeing here.

She giggles lightly at his snarky response, "Want to get out of here? I think we've delayed enough satisfaction to last a lifetime."

"Well who am I to deny you of any pleasure. Let's go."


This was all Dacey. Think the next one will be mostly Dacey as well. Being as this was just the first night of the trip.

And the song they danced to was "Lover, Please Stay" (live version) by Nothing but Thieves. Check it out. It's awesome. Read and review =]]] - jaded
