"Just where did you come up with the idea for—this?" Niles asked, indicating my nurse's uniform and smiling approvingly.

"You."

"Me? But how?" Niles said blankly.

"Remember that Christmas your father treated us all to massages? You told me after we got together that you'd had a very interesting dream during yours."

"Right, that one. It seems a lifetime ago," Niles recalled.

"So…I think it's time I fulfilled your fantasy…"

Niles fell silent and I went to work on undressing him, somewhat clumsily, as my hands were trembling with anticipation. His breathing hitched as I pushed his shirt off him, lightly grazing my fingers over his chest in the process. I could sense his hunger for me as I progressed. At last he was free of his clothes. I took in the full sight of him, staring as if this was our first time with each other.

Niles was slender, but (however Frasier or Roz might snidely remark), far from being "spindly". His lean for never ceased to tempt me. He was the sexiest man I'd ever been with, and no man had ever pleased or would please me as much as Niles could.

"You might want to blink once in a while," Niles teased, a flattered smile flickering on his lips.

"Niles Crane, you're the most gorgeous man in the world," I rasped.

"Thank you, Nurse Naughty," he said flirtatiously. "Well…do I pass the exam?"

The reference to my suggestive comment at Café Nervosa made me snicker. My gaze traveled "south" and I answered his question.

"You check out one hundred percent," I winked. "Your equipment is working just fine."

Niles giggled shyly and blushed, yet another one of his adorable quirks that I had come to love.

"I guess you won't be needing that uniform anymore, then," he said; my skin tingled with anticipation and I was tense with need for him.

Niles freed me of the nurse's cap first, causing my hair to fall onto my shoulders. I smiled as he nuzzled my hair and breathed in its scent. The simple gesture brought dozens of memories to mind, and it took the touch of his lips to bring me back to reality.

"I love you," he said hoarsely after several tender kisses.

I trembled with need as Niles slowly peeled the uniform and stockings away from my body, drawing out the moment. Finally, he was finished and I kicked them away. Now all that was left were my bra and panties, which revealed just enough to entice Niles. Indeed, he seemed to have forgotten to breathe as he reached out with trembling hands, and I couldn't help feeling a bit of vain pride at the effect I had on him.

"You're the most beautiful woman in the world," he murmured, shakily removing the last of my clothing.

A passionate kiss followed and Niles lightly trailed his fingers down my neck. The feather-light sensation filled me with warmth. Only Niles could turn me on with such a simple touch.

Our gentle foreplay had brought us to the edge and we knew we couldn't resist our natural urges any longer.

"Let's not waste any more time," I whispered. "I swore I'd get you into my bed tonight and you're not leaving until you do."

The flame of desire in Niles' eyes told me that he was far from objecting; soon we were falling against the sheets. Our passion was just beginning.
