AN: ok it's short and a cliff hanger and your all going to hate me... I'm taking far to much joy in these facts. You want to know what happens, great your going to hate the ending of this chapter... it's no ending at all but just where things are starting to get good it get cut off. I'm warning you now so you can't yell at me. I'll write the next chapter ASAP - I might even get around to posting it...

"Serena you're not concentrating..." Darien chided softly.

"It's just really hard." Serena lips twitched as her gaze flickered from his face down to his exposed chest. She was concentrating really she was... just not on math.

"I think I need a drink." She said eyeing her coke on the table beside Darien. He reached over to get it for her but froze when he felt her weight settle firmly in his lap. She grabbed her can from her position straddling his lap and started gulping the cool sugary liquid fighting down the furious blush that turned her face an interesting shade of crimson. Darien was occupied watching her smooth ivory throat work as she swallowed. Her back arched as she worked to get the last couple of drops from the can drawing Darien's eyes down over the swell of her breast to the smooth expanse of exposed stomach.

"Shit maybe this wasn't such a good idea." He muttered quietly as his hands settled on her thighs of their own accord. He hadn't thought Serena capable of going this far in their little contest, guess he was wrong. He felt her tense slightly under his touch, and sat forward pressing his body to hers.

"Serena what are you doing?"

"Playing dirty, and don't you give me that look you started it." She pouted slightly and Darien was caught between the urge to laugh or to kiss her. Instead he slid his hand under her thighs and stood then dumped her on the couch.

"What you do that for?" Serena demanded indignantly. Darien walked away running a hand roughly through his hair.

"Do you have any idea at all what your doing to me?" He asked roughly not looking at her.

"Well..." Serena didn't quiet know what to say, she used her pause to arrange herself in a more dignified position as she thought.

"Your driving me insane and for what a stupid bet! I didn't think you were curl enough to play with peoples feelings just for cash." Darien answered his own question.

"Who told you?" She demanded then clapped both hands over her mouth as if she could take back the words.

"Get out... just get out." He said quietly pointing to the door. Serena would have preferred it if he screamed. She didn't know what to say so she did the only thing she could think of she left.

Mwahahahaha I know I'm evil sorry... Hangs head. Soon I promise ( ... I just have to figure out how I'm going to get the characters out of the predicament I wrote them in to
