Once inside Tony stood in his hallway looking aimlessly around his apartment. Michelle started walking down the hall towards the kitchen. "Do you want some water Tony?"

He followed her. "Yeah, probably a good idea."

After she had handed him a huge glass of water she watched him down it in seconds. He was starting to look very pale. "Tony…"

"I don't feel so good."

Michelle smiled affectionately at him. "Lets get you to bed then, you just need some sleep."

Tony began to make his way to his bedroom. He turned to see Michelle still standing in the kitchen watching him. "You're not going to leave are you?"

Michelle's heart skipped a beat as she shook her head and followed him into his bedroom. She wondered what she was suppose to do next. Should she help him change? Sleep on the couch? Tony wasn't much help as he seemed to be deciding on the spot what he wanted, and it was hard for her to figure out what he was thinking.

Tony started to make his way to his bathroom and then seemed to change his mind and start to head towards his bed. He stopped at the end of it and then slowly reached his hands out to the bed and then began to crawl onto it. Finally he lay on his back and looked over at Michelle who was still hovering in the doorway.

"Are you just going to go to sleep like that Tony?"

He patted the bed next to him as he spoke. "I don't think I can manage washing up right now. I can't believe I drunk so much, I am so sorry Michelle."

Michelle grabbed a face washer from his bathroom along with some more water for him. She walked back over to Tony and sat next to him on the side of the bed. "Please stop apologising Tony, just let me look after you."

Tony closed his eyes and laid his head back into the pillow as she wiped his face with the cool cloth. "That feels nice."

Michelle doted on him as she wiped his face and had him drink some more water. She felt him begin to rub his hand up and down her arm and then across her back, it felt so nice, she wished they could keep this moment. She felt his hand trail up to her chin and she looked down to see him slowly open his again.

"You know Michelle, what I wanted to do tonight was visit you."

"Why didn't you?"

Tony sighed and began playing gently with one of her curls. "I don't know. I didn't know if you would want me to. I was so stressed I knew I would be horrible company and that's the last thing you should have to put up with right now."

Michelle put her hand down on the other side of his body so that she was leaning over him. "I wish you had. I feel better in your company Tony."

They stared at each other affectionately for a moment. Michelle desperately wanted to kiss him but wasn't sure he was even up to it so instead she broke the moment by sliding down the bed to his feet where she began taking off his shoes.

A part of Tony didn't like that it was Michelle having to look after him and not him caring for her but a bigger part of him felt so good having someone look after him for once. He had gotten use to never needing anyone but right now he did need someone and it was the best feeling in the world that he had Michelle there for him.

He smiled at her as she removed the last shoe. Suddenely he was dying for the toilet again. He almost jumped up. "I need the bathroom…again."

He heard her giggle a little as he stumbled into the bathroom and closed the door.

Michelle stood at the end of his bed and waited for him. As he walked back out he gabbed the bottom of his shirt and ripped it over his head. Her eyes just about popped out of her head and she had to force herself to concentrate on not staring at his chest. She couldn't believe how tanned and toned he was. The sight of his bare chest was enough to make her stomach flutter and a smile grace her face. He seemed oblivious to the reaction he had just caused within her as he made his way to his dresser.

He pulled out a t-shirt and some boxer shorts. "You won't be comfortable sleeping in that…you want to put these on?"

Michelle stumbled with her words. She was still trying to come to grips with the sight of him half naked as well as the idea that he clearly expected her to be staying here with him. "Umm…ok, thanks."

She grabbed the clothes and headed into his bathroom and closed the door. She kept telling herself over and over to stay calm but it didn't help at all. All she could think about was wether or not Tony would have stripped down to his boxer shorts or not.

Tony was in bed with the covers up to his chin by the time she emerged from his bathroom. He smiled cheekily at her as she crossed the room. He pulled the covers to the side and motioned for her to get in.

As she slid into the bed she tried to break the awkward silence. "I certainly didn't think I'd end up sleeping here like this tonight."

Tony rolled onto his side and ran his hand across her stomach. "I'm so happy you are here. And….you look adorable in those…"

Michelle blushed. "Are you just in your boxers too?"

Tony ran his bare leg up Michelle's and she gasped in shock. He laughed at her reaction. He took the opportunity to position himself on top of her and start kissing her neck. "Is this ok?"

Michelle started kissing his cheek and pushed herself up into him. "Does that answer your question?"

Tony lifted his head, grinned and looked her in the eyes. "You know….I don't think you are quite as innocent as you look."

Michelle giggled. "What makes you think that?"

Tony pushed his lower body into hers and then ran his hands up and down the side of her body. "You know exactly what you are doing to me." He pushed himself into her again to emphasize his point.

"You know I could say the same about you…"

Tony kissed her briefly but passionately. "Michelle, I could never claim to be innocent around you."

"You've done a pretty good job of it at work so far…" She stopped herself hoping she hadn't just ruined the mood.

Tony thought for a moment before he spoke. "Yeah but now you are lying in my arms, in my shirt and boxer shorts and there are no bastards from division to interrupt us."

Michelle surprised him by pulling his face to hers and kissing him passionately. He heard her moan as he slid his tongue into her mouth. Within seconds her hands were running up and down his bare back driving him crazy. He could feel her body swaying slightly beneath his and he knew he had never been more turned on in his life before.

He slid his hand inside of her top and ran it up her stomach expecting to trace his hand over her bra but instead he was met with her bare breast. He groaned and hesitated for a second before cupping her roughly in his hand. He then pushed her shirt up over her chest and then looked up at her and smiled. "See…not so innocent."

At first Michelle was going to launch into an explanation that she never slept with a bra on but quickly decided against it when she saw him lower his head and begin to suck on her nipple. His touch was unbelievable, she had to remind herself to keep breathing as she watched him work his way over her chest. She could feel how turned on his was as he continued to push himself into her.

The more intense things became Michelle started to worry about how much of this was Tony and how much of this was the alcohol. What if he regretted this in the morning? What if he couldn't even remember in the morning? She gripped his hair and whispered his name. "Tony…"

He stopped and lifted his head, immediately spotting the hesitation in her eyes. "Are you ok?"

"Ummm…"

Tony slid back up her body and held her in his arms. "Talk to me Michelle. Am I rushing you?"

Michelle felt silly explaining how she was feeling but decided it was better to be honest. "It's just you have had a lot to drink and I don't know if this is really…"

Ton finished for her. "what I want?"

Michelle nodded shyly.

"I've wanted this since the moment we met Michelle. If you don't feel comfortable, we don't have to do anything, I'd be so happy just to have you in my arms."

"It's not that I feel uncomfortable…it's just…I mean what if you regret…"

Tony kissed her forehead. "Sweetheart, I understand how you feel. You are worried this is happening because I've had so much to drink. The only thing I could ever regret with you was rushing you into something you had any doubts about." He took her hand and kissed the back of it.

"Are you disappointed?"

Tony looked at the worry in her eyes and wished he knew how to ease it. He hadn't meant to be so forward with her. "How could I be disappointed? I've got you here in my arms don't I?"

Seeing her smile reappear he rolled onto his side bringing her with him. He kept her body tucked tightly with his and kissed her neck. Michelle relaxed into him and they both lay in a comfortable silence for a few minutes listening to each other breathe.

"Thanks Tony."

"No thank you Michelle."

Tony was the first to fall asleep. It didn't take him long, once he knew things were ok with Michelle and he had her body wrapped up in his it was easy to fall into a deep sleep.
