Author's Note: Here's my sequal of sorts to Alter Ego. Don't worry, you don't need to read that craziness before diving into this story--I'll make a few references to AE but nothing major.
Thanks Kayla for the idea and input. Now you'll see how dangerous it is to encourage me. Big thanks to Katy too for the proof-reading and feedback. I changed some stuff but hopefully, I didn't screw it up. Enjoy!
"It's a bit hot in here, don't you think?" Lucas commented.
Sami looked at him nonchalantly. "I don't feel that hot. Maybe it's just you.
Lucas licked his lips as he took in the sight of Sami's languid body lounging on the bed. "You might have a point there, love." Sami smiled at his endearment and shamelessly flaunted her body for him. She tried to make it look innocent but he knew her too well. She was such a little tease.
Sami turned over on her back and pushed herself up on her elbows. "You see something you like, Lucas?" She slid one leg up onto the bed revealing a truly obscene amount of flesh. When Sami started snooping around his bedroom, he knew it was only a matter of time before she started acquiring various articles of his wardrobe. It was just a girl thing he figured and Sami was one of the worst offenders. He pretended that it annoyed him but truthfully, he didn't mind at all—especially tonight. She had found the top half of his red silk pajama set while digging through his drawers. The long, red button down shirt looked one hundred times better partially buttoned and hanging off of her sexy body than it ever could on him.
Oh yeah, there was plenty that he liked displayed before him and he had every intention of partaking of the bountiful spread that was his delicious fiancée. But in their grand tradition, he had to play with her just a little to make it count.
It was Lucas' turn to look nonchalant as he shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. There might be a thing or two around here that could hold my interest." He quickly swung his body to look out the window. "Look what a beautiful night it is out there. I could stare at it all night." Sami followed his gaze over to the window and raised an eyebrow skeptically as they both looked out onto the dreary night sky. Storm clouds blocked out all of the stars and a creepy haze had settled over the night. A series of heavy, fat raindrops tapped against the window, not yet ready to give way to a full-fledged shower. "Okay, maybe not, but check out the sheet set on the bed. They're very tasteful and flattering if I do say so myself." Lucas seemed to be getting a closer look at the sheets on the bed that he had, indeed, picked out for her. He told her that it could be his small contribution to her apartment. That way, when they weren't sharing a bed, she would still think about him when she fell asleep. Sami giggled at how corny that sounded and reminded him that, when not at Grandpa Shawn's, a friend's house or at camp, there was a very convincing reminder of him living with her. Besides, he knew as well as she did that the new sheet and comforter set was simply to help both of them erase the trauma of what had happened with her last set of sheets.
"Lucas . . ." There was a playful warning in Sami's voice and Lucas figured he should get back to the business at hand.
"What I meant was that there seems to be something I'm particularly attracted to laying on the bed looking mighty scrumptious." He smacked his lips together in mock hunger making Sami giggle in his direction. She wouldn't admit it so as not to encourage him but, she loved when he acted like a goofball. She couldn't help but to react with at least a little smile every time he did it so she didn't think it was one of her best kept secrets.
Lucas again swept his gaze across Sami's body. This time there was no denying what was holding his attention at the moment. While he had been teasing her, she had undone another button along the front of his shirt and let the oversized garment hang off of her shoulder sexily. He shuddered at the sight of all that exposed skin and as he settled his eyes on the shadow of her cleavage, he had a little trouble concentrating. Sami only smiled at him and waited for him to make the next move.
"It looks like you're in quite a mood tonight. Is there something you wanted to show me, Sami?" he inquired with a grin. His heart beat faster with the anticipation of what she had in store for him.
Sami raised up into a full sitting position leaning slightly forward and allowing the shirt to slip further. "Is it a show you want, Lucas?" She slid her legs up under herself and ran a finger along the buttons on her shirt. She effortlessly flicked another button open allowing the material to gape slightly and reveal the valley between her full breasts. Lucas could only nod as she continued to run her fingers along the silky material surrounding her body. "I'll give you a show." She went to flick open another button but stopped abruptly. Lucas bit his lip to quiet his moan of protest.
"Wait right there. If it's a show you want, I know just what'll make it a little more . . . entertaining." She unfolded her body and stepped off the bed. The red shirt still hung open and off one shoulder but she was excessively covered in his opinion. She walked towards him and then backed away towards her closet. "How about I prance around a little for you? You'll need to get a good view of me from all angles right? I want to make sure you know full-well what you might be sampling this evening if you're a good little boy."
"You know I'll be good for you, baby," Lucas murmured, lust evident in his voice. He could hardly wait to gets his hands on the main dish. "I think I'd like it if you pranced around for a bit. You can shake your thing a little for me while you're at it since I did supply your wardrobe for the evening."
Sami looked down at the pajamas she had stolen from Lucas and shrugged her bare shoulder innocently. "That may be true but I think I'll add a few accessories of my own." She disappeared into her closet and he could hear her rustling around. He decided to remain where he had been standing as he leaned against her dresser. He wanted to receive the full view of her latest creative venture.
His jaw dropped to the floor as Sami reemerged from the closet still wearing the unbuttoned silk shirt as promised. However, she had added the most perfect pair of three-inch, candy apple red high heels that made her legs look like they could go on for days. When his voice found him again, he remarked, "Oh, Sami, this is good stuff. This is so good. You cannot imagine what this is doing for me." He couldn't take his eyes off of her looking so gorgeous in his half-buttoned shirt and those heels. "I'm burning up for you right now but you haven't even pranced for me. I think you should rectify that oversight, don't you?"
"I can do that," Sami said with a cocky grin. She knew the heels were just the thing to kick things up a notch. She planned to squeeze every last drop of sex appeal out of it too. She sauntered toward Lucas in her new outfit making sure to sway her hips in a way that would drive him even more wild. She slowly glided past him running her finger along his chin as she did so. She swayed towards the bedroom door with her back to him and did a little shimmy for him on the way. As she moved her shoulders back and forth, the silky material of her shirt moved sensuously against her body like shimmering rubies against flesh. "That's it Sami. That's what daddy likes to see," he whispered to himself. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her if he tried-and he definitely had no intention of trying tonight.
Sami looked over her shoulder saucily and gave her ass a good shake for him, something she knew he would appreciate. She leaned against the door with her back still to Lucas. Looking over her shoulder but now gazing through lowered lashes, she ran her hand over her silk-covered ass and gave Lucas a playful wink. When she turned back to Lucas, who was practically drooling on himself at this point, she had undone another button leaving only one remaining. "Maybe it is a little hot in here," Sami said fanning the material of her shirt gently. There was very little holding the shirt together but, it still served to keep Sami's luscious breasts from his view—although it looked like one side was hanging on by a nipple. The remaining button held the shirt together a few inches below her belly button, hiding the warm crevice that he had gotten to know so well recently. Lucas could not fathom what rule of physics would allow the one little device to keep so much radiance hidden from his view. "Honey, you're killing me over here. You are so hot, baby. I can't wait to touch you."
Sami blew him a kiss and pranced back over to the bed to resume her previous position laying back on her elbows for support. The other side of the shirt gaped open even more but still stubbornly refused to display the treasures it protected. Sami raised one leg off the floor making sure to trail the heel of her sinful, scarlet pump along the line of her other leg. She raised this leg a little higher than necessary as she crossed it over the other. Lucas now had a good view of that tight ass he couldn't keep his hands off of. Although he was trying his best to look, he couldn't tell if she wore panties underneath or not. He was sure he'd find out soon enough.
"That's a nice little show you put on for me, Sami, but it looks like you left one thing hanging," he said pointing to the last button on her shirt. As dark brown eyes met brilliant blue, it didn't escape their notice that they were breathing rather hard. They both could feel the other's want which served to heighten the excitement of their encounter. They knew they were going to make this show last though.
Sami shook her head as if to deny his last statement. "I thought you might want to help me with the highlight of my little display. Would you like that?" As she said these words to him, she uncrossed her legs and undulated against the bed towards the direction he was standing. She offered the last button to him by leaning up and lazily tracing circles around it with her index finger.
Lucas walked towards her slowly, almost stalking her. "I'd like that very much, actually." When he reached the edge of the bed where she was sitting, she spread her legs to fit him neatly close to her body. His intense stare revealed both his desire for her and the love that kept him wanting more. Sami returned his gaze reflecting her need for him and her trust. She took advantage of his nearness and ran her hand up his thigh stopping only to cup the hottest and hardest part of him in her hand. She couldn't help herself with him being this close and looking at her with such naked hunger. Lucas choked out a surprised gasp and quickly removed her hand from his body. Any more of that and their evening would come to a quick and messy end.
"Uh uh, you naughty girl," he said leading her hand back to her own thigh. The mischievous expression on her face told him that she wasn't in the least bit chastened. "Why don't you lay back for me and let me get a good look at you."
Feeling more obedient, Sami slowly lowered herself back down on the bed. The playful smile remained as she raised her arms above her head, curling one hand against her face. She raised one of her knees up as well taking care to run her heel along his denim-clad leg. Lucas sighed at the sight in front of him. She looked like a goddess laying before him, waiting for him to worship her—and worship her he would.
"Lucas, do you still want to help me with my little oversight?" Sami said as her smile widened. "A girl could get bored laying around waiting for you." Well, he certainly couldn't have that.
Lucas pressed his hand against her raised leg and pushed it back down towards the floor. He then crawled from between her legs and onto the bed to straddle her thighs, careful not to put too much pressure on her. He looked at Sami's almost completely exposed body thinking that he would love to use his teeth to rid her of that remaining barrier. But that would be impossible in his position so he settled for the next best thing. He licked his middle finger and slowly trailed it down her chest enjoying the way her body reacted to the cooling wetness against her hot skin. As he reached the space between her breasts he spread his fingers out and caressed her with the palm of his whole hand. Sami moved her body with sinuous grace as she moaned and whimpered underneath him. She was laying it on thick for him and he loved every second of it.
"Do you like that, Sami? You sound like you like it. Maybe you could give me a little more of that and I'll help you fix that troublesome button." He was now running his fingers lightly back and forth across her stomach.
"Oh Lucas," Sami moaned. "You'd do that for me?" She continued to gasp and whimper for him as she took the tip of her finger into her mouth and gently bit it. Sami heard Lucas let out an inspiring moan of his own in response to her actions.
Lucas was now circling her remaining button with his finger as she had done a few moments before to taunt him. He could feel it straining to hold the loose material together but it wouldn't be holding on for long. "You know I would, baby." He tugged gently on the button moving it slightly but not yet freeing it. He felt the heat of Sami's body as she arched into him.
Finally, Lucas couldn't take it anymore and with a flick of his finger released the last button on her shirt. The silk shirt seemed to melt away from her skin at the force of the release and her body was on full display for him in all of its glory. She looked absolutely exquisite laying before him and he didn't want to miss a detail. He swept his view from her lust filled blue eyes to the creamy fullness of her perfect breasts. As he noticed her deliciously erect nipples, he longed to give them a closer inspection with his tongue. His gaze then flowed down the tasty flesh of her stomach and pelvis to the tiny red panties that barely covered her wet center.
They were both practically shaking with need but Lucas' extended visual journey of Sami's body allowed her to regain some of her control and continue their scenario. "Well, General, you've certainly gotten your money's worth but I think it's my turn to have a little fun. Besides, you're woefully overdressed for the occasion." She slid back up onto her elbows forcing Lucas's hand to move from its place on her stomach to lightly cup one of her breasts. He wasn't complaining though.
Seeing that Lucas was still more than a little preoccupied with her body, she brought her hands up to place over his. "Come on Lucas," she prodded. "This is a joint venture and I want to get a little piece of the action now." She felt Lucas slowly relinquish his hold. "That's a good boy. Now that wasn't so hard," Sami said.
Maybe not, but Lucas could think of something that was hard as a rock right now. He pasted a cocky smirk on his face and put himself on display for her. "Ok, Sami, I'll let you have your fun on one condition."
Sami's eyes peeked up at him. "And what would that be?"
Lucas moved his hand from Sami's thigh and bent her leg towards him to reach her calf. He finally rested his fingers on the soft skin of her ankle and with his eyes, followed the path his hand had made down her leg. He looked back up at her abruptly giving her an evil grin. He ran idle fingers across one of her hot red heels and said, "No matter what, these shoes have got to stay on."
Sami reached out for Lucas and absently played with the zipper on his pants. She eyed him as if considering his request. "Deal," Sami replied and retrieved the camcorder that, only moments before, she had relinquished from his iron grip. With an undeniably predatory expression, she turned the camera towards her gorgeous, very aroused fiancée and continued with their moviemaking.
THREE WEEKS LATER
"Lucas, have you seen my red heels?" Sami asked from her bedroom doorway. He and Will had come over to have breakfast with her after sleeping in his apartment the previous night. Sami had been up pretty late with Belle working on the designs for her wedding dress. That meant that he had been banned from her apartment for the evening. Not wanting to be around all that "girl stuff," Will had quickly followed. Sami was going to take Will to school on her way to work but since she was running late, the two boys decided to come over and take care of breakfast.
"Why would I know where you keep your missing shoes. That sounds like the kind of information that guys should definitely steer clear of." Lucas smiled at his son sitting across from him at the table. Will laughed at his dad knowing that he was asking for trouble from his mom. But unlike a short while ago, he didn't quite fear the eruption of an argument that would have surely resulted from such a comment.
Sami was adjusting her earring as she stepped out of the bedroom. She was wearing a very flattering red suit—sans shoes—and she looked less than pleased with Lucas' response to her question. Lucas gave her his most macho look to save face in front of Will but knew she probably had a zinger waiting for him.
"I was asking because you were around the last time I had them on," Sami said with unexpected calmness. Lucas' only reaction was a blank expression of ignorance and a shrugging of his shoulders in the most dismissive of gestures. He turned back to Will and gave him a look suggesting that his mother was having a cranky morning. Sami just smiled mysteriously and poured herself some coffee. "You remember don't you, Lucas? It was the same day we bought that great video camera."
Will's eyes lit up at the mention of his new favorite gadget. "That camera is so cool! I'm so glad you guys bought it. Don't worry about hiring someone to videotape the wedding. I've got it covered." Will had been having a field day with the new camera. His parents had no idea that he was so interested in being an amateur filmmaker. They thought it was all a little weird in a Dawson's Creek kind of way but they encouraged his newest fascination nonetheless. They figured if he started talking like an English professor with fits of dramatic and unnecessary brooding, then they'd start to worry.
"Buddy, isn't it going to be kind of hard filming the wedding while you're busy being my best man?" Lucas smiled at the thought of his son standing up with him as he finally pledged his love and devotion to Sami. It was the ultimate present for their son.
Will rolled his eyes at his father but he couldn't hide his happiness at the idea. "I can do both, Dad. Besides, who better to film it than the person with the best view? But if you want me to concentrate on my duties as best man then I can let someone else film it. I'm just happy that you two are finally getting married—not soon enough for me though." Sami and Lucas were warmed by his enthusiasm and support. They couldn't wait to be married either.
Turning her attention back to Lucas, Sami continued with her taunting. "Will, if you want to give the camera to the person with the best view, you might want to consider your father for that job. He had so much fun trying that thing out when we first brought it home, didn't you Lucas? You seemed to handle that thing like a pro when we were breaking it in." Sami hid her snicker in her coffee mug as she took a long sip.
There was a loud clatter as Lucas suddenly dropped his silverware against his plate. He tried giving Sami a placating smile but she seemed to ignore him as she got ready to begin her day. "Uh, of course I remember, honey. I remember it like it happened just yesterday." He wiped his mouth on a napkin and walked towards Sami who was leaning against the kitchen counter. "In fact, I think we had so much 'fun' that day that I just temporarily forgot about those shoes. Boy were they great. Why don't I go look for them for you," he said heading for her room.
"No that's okay. I'm sure I'll find them since I seem to have a better recollection of the last time I wore them. It's a pity we can't refresh your recollection of that day," Sami commented lightly. "Why don't you help Will get ready to go. We need to leave soon."
Lucas hurried back over to Will, "Sure, sure. Let's hop to it, buddy. We don't want to keep you mom waiting." Will didn't know what was going on with his mom and dad but from the looks of it, dad was in trouble for something. Without the threat of World War III, he was beginning to get used to having normal parents who playfully teased each other. It was like living in a normal family.
"Sure, Dad, just let me go get my bag." He walked back to his room shaking his head with mock irritation at his crazy parents.
Sami laughed at Lucas' nervous scrambling. "Relax, Lucas. You're not in the doghouse yet." She put her coffee mug down and walked over to the couch. She sat down and leaned over feeling underneath for her missing items. Sure enough, a moment later, she pulled out a long, red heel connected to a familiar shoe. "See! Mystery solved." She slid the shoes on and walked over to Lucas who was clearing away the dishes from breakfast. "I thought we had burned that night into your memory, General," she said with a gentle kiss to his lips.
Lucas grinned at her and grabbed her around the waist. "Even if we hadn't burned it into our memories, it's still a good thing we captured it on tape." He stared down at her outfit appreciatively, resting for a few extra seconds on her newly acquired shoes. "How did those shoes get under there? I seem to recall telling you to keep them on no matter what." He gave her a lingering kiss to remind her of some of the passion they had shared a few short weeks ago. "I know it's only been a few days since I last saw our excellent contribution to the adult video community, but I think we need to take a trip down memory lane later on tonight, don't you agree?" He complimented his request with a string of kisses across her cheek and down her neck.
Sami pulled away slightly. "When was that? I don't remember watching it."
Lucas blushed and looked away quickly. "Well, you weren't exactly there. See, you were working late and then you met with Belle about the wedding . . ."
"And you got a little nostalgic. I get it." She pulled away from him and went to check her purse. "I'd love to take that road with you this time but I'm afraid we can't tonight unless we watch it over here. Since it's a school night and I don't feel like setting up the T.V. in my room, that means our home movies are a no-go tonight."
"Why can't we watch it at my place?"
"Sami grabbed her and Will's coat from the closet. "I loaned your VCR to Belle. Hers was broken and since you're usually over here anyway, I didn't think you'd mind."
Lucas was instantly filled with dread and panic. "Sami did you check to see if there was anything in the VCR before you gave it to her?"
"I don't know. I think Philip stopped by and unhooked it so I probably didn't think to check it beforehand. Why?"
Lucas started to pace nervously in front of the door. "Sami, what did I just tell you I was watching a few days ago? When did Philip come pick it up?"
Sami threw the coats onto the couch and began to glare at Lucas with suspicion. "I think he took it when he dropped Belle off yesterday. You were out getting dinner. Lucas, you don't think that it was in there do you?"
"I know I didn't take it out and I didn't see it when I was home last night."
Sami could feel her anger stirring up like a tornado. "Lucas, how could you be so stupid?" She too was now fidgeting nervously at this unexpected information.
"Me! You're the one who lent out my stuff without asking!" he yelled in his own defense.
"I didn't think you would mind. You could have just used this one," she said pointing at the VCR perched on top of her television. "Besides, you KNOW you shouldn't be leaving that kind of thing just laying around. Will could have found it for Pete's sake." she whispered angrily. Lucas knew Sami had him there. Even though they spent the vast majority of their time at Sami's apartment and even though Will had his own television and preferred DVD's to video tapes, there was a small chance that he could have stumbled onto the tape of his and Sami's illicit escapades. He had definitely been careless but blaming each other wasn't going to improve the situation. They had to think of a plan to find that tape. His thoughts were interrupted by Sami's pleading voice. "Lucas, are you sure it's not in your apartment. Maybe Philip did take it out."
As much as Lucas wanted to cling to that hope, he had spent the previous night cleaning his apartment. He would have noticed a tape sitting around if Philip had left it out. Shaking his head, he continued to pace. "No, Sami, it was in the VCR, I'm sure of it. Shit!"
Will chose that moment to emerge from his room, backpack in hand. He could tell that the mood had changed drastically since he had left a few minutes earlier. He hoped, it wasn't something too serious because he didn't want anything to get in the way of his parents getting married. At least they weren't at each others' throats—he had come home to that, literally, on a few occasions. "I'm ready to go . . . what's wrong," he asked looking between the two of them.
"Uh, Will," Sami answered. "It's nothing to get worked up about. In fact," she said grabbing their coats, "your dad is going to fix it while we're out today. Right Lucas?" Sami's tone left no room for argument and Lucas knew it.
"Yeah sure," he said sullenly. Sami ushered Will out of the door and grabbed her keys. Before closing the door she left Lucas with one more parting thought. "You better find that tape before anybody sees what's on it," she hissed. "If not, they're going to find you in pieces all over Salem." She went to close the door but turned around to give one last warning. "And you can forget about a repeat performance too." She slammed the door after her and he could hear those sexy red heels clicking down the hall.
"Why me?" Lucas thought as he sank sadly onto the couch with his head in his hands. "Well, unless I want to spend the rest of my celibate life with an angry wife, I better think of something quick."
AN: For the record, I'm not a hater. I watched every season of Dawson's Creek.
