Gush

Rain beat down against the overhang of the porch, drowning out all other sounds around them. A sheet of water pouring down on one side and the darkness of the house on the other, it was just her and him in their own little world. Rozly and Avlyn had gone to bed hours ago.

"So you like them?" Vala asked as Daniel examined her hand purposely.

He nodded distractedly, placing a gentle kiss to her fingertips. Vala shivered, already feeling the energy within him desperate for release. Dancing had made him eager for more. And for once, she was the one being standoffish...but just barely.

"Do you think we can invite them to the wedding?" She asked, trying to get Daniel focused on something else. He was the first, and definitely only, man she'd brought to this safe place. It made her uncomfortable to do something that came so naturally and carefree to them. "I mean, if they can make it of course. I would so love for them to come. They would just adore Hayds, and I think she would love them too. Do you think she'll love them? I know I can't make her-"

Vala's rambling trailed off as Daniel wrapped his mouth around her fingers one by one. Her eyes fluttered closed at the sensation of his tongue marking her digits. She continued to quickly lose focus of her distraction tactics as Daniel placed his lips to her palm for a kiss, and then another against her wrist. Vala tried to pull her arm from his firm grasp, but Daniel just held on tighter.

"Nope." He growled, pulling her closer.

Vala licked her lips. His tone was dominating and she'd always found a dominating Daniel was hard to resist. Still, she tried to put up some kind of fight. "Daniel, not here. Please, it makes me uncomfort-"

Once again he found away to stop her words. This time it was with a searing kiss to the lips. Vala could do nothing but ride out the kiss until Daniel had taken from her all that he could. When he bit her lip a little harder then she expected, Vala pulled away with a faint gasp. She tried to bring her fingers up to wipe away the blood, but a strong hand stopped the attempt. Erotic desire exploded through her as Daniel methodically sucked on the wound he'd made, eliciting a sting of pleasurable pain from the area.

"Daniel, what's gotten into you?" Vala breathed with surprise. Even in the years they'd gotten together, she'd never seen him this in touch with his animalistic male nature. "How much of the drink did you have?"

Daniel rose up excruciatingly slow, his body leaning into hers as he pushed her backwards along the table. "This has got nothing to do with the drink." His voice was rough with pure desire. A shiver went up Vala's spine as he climbed onto the table and lowered himself on top of her. His powerful hands pinned her wrists above her head. "The only thing this has to do with is you and how you've gotten into every damn part of me."

Vala watched him thoughtfully for a moment, then accepted the deceivingly gentle kiss he pressed against her mouth. Daniel deepened it a moment later, releasing one of her hands to start unbuckling his pants. Her free hand came to tangle in his hair and all her previous inhibitions fell away at the wild fire in his blue eyes, shining in the sparkling rainstorm, as he pulled back.

"Let me give you something to REALLY gush about." Daniel murmured seductively into her ear just before connecting with Vala in the most intimate way.

Neither of them noticed the shift of the wind, sending the rain onto the porch and across their rocking bodies.

A/N: So this chapter turned out a little more..."intense" then I orginally intended. But, as ya'll should know by now, my bunnies are vicious and demanding and I must go where they lead me. While on the topic of bunnies, they have gone haywire and have all seemed to attack at once. This is good for you guys, seeing as I can't seem to stop the chapters from coming. Bad for my beta b/c I'm swamping her with material to go over. Just today I wrote four chapters. I'll be getting them up as soon as she gets them back to me. And ofcourse, there's always the chance I'll work on more. ;D

As always reviews are LVOE. I am getting them, and am still apologizing for not replying. I really look forward to them. They make my day as much as new chapters make yours (at least, I'm hoping they make your day). And while I'm thinking about it, thank you to ya'll who sent all those lovely reviews for Steps: Showdown!! It helped spark the life back into those Steps bunnies, and I even finished the next part for that series. That will most likely be going up tonight as well :)
