Fox unlocked the door to his penthouse and turned to let Kay enter first. She looked around the room to see a warm furnished living room that probably cost a fortune.

" Make yourself at home. Would you like a drink?"

"Trying to get me all liquored up?"

"Ahh, yes, that is the plan, then to get you into bed of course." Fox smirked.

"Of course." Kay said jokingly before letting out a big yawn.

"Tired I see?"

Kay shrugged  and responded, " Just a big night, that's all. Where's my drink?"

"Ah, straight to the point eh? How about some Brandy? I learned from my father to always have enough Brandy around."

"That's fine." Kay said sitting down.

Fox stood up and walked over to the bar to retrieve Kay's drink and he handed it to her.

" Thanks." She said as she smiled up at him.

He sat down next to her and said, "So, what did you have in mind, gorgeous?"

"Fox, don't start." Kay said warningly.

"What? Aw, come on, What did I do wrong now?"

" Just, don't. I'm not one of your conquests."

" You never were Kay." Fox said with sincerity.

She looked into his warm brown eyes, which showed his past was anything but warm. He looked  into hers, and saw the same.

"I'm sorry." Kay said barely in a whisper. " I just don't want to get hurt again." She said sadly.

" So you put up a fence and are rude to make sure nobody hurts you again. Not Miguel, not your mother, not even a guy who wants to get to know you, who hasn't  been able to get you out of his head and no matter what he does he can't seem to get a grip on anything but you." By the time Fox was finished he had spoken in a whisper.

" I know you've been hurt too Fox. I can see it in your eyes. You put on this cocky persona, and you have one night stands with every pretty girl you see. Because if you're not attached you can't get hurt, but you did. You were hurt by Whitney, and I know how you feel, but I just couldn't take getting hurt, not like that Fox." By the time Kay had finished tears were streaming down her face.

Fox needed a moment to realize she was the only one who ever actually knew what he was feeling. He cupped her face in his hands, looked her straight in the eyes and said, " I will never hurt you. I promise Kay, I will never hurt you."

Kay started crying and Fox took her in his arms and stroked her hair. After she calmed down a little bit, he sat her up and she reached straight for her glass of Brandy and downed the whole glass.

" Whoa! Whoa! Easy, easy." Fox said taking the empty glass from her, " Something tells me you'd get along great with my father, you both share a love of hard liquor." He said, then laughed.

" Yeah, I really needed that, funny you should say that I'd get along with your father, everyone who meets me says I'd fit right in with the Cranes."

" Because you have a drinking problem?" Fox asked confused.

" No1" Kay smacked his arm, " No, because we're both scheming, cruel, and manipulating people to our advantages, and every body hates the Cranes, saying I was like them, was a way out of saying they hated me."

Kay sighed and Fox didn't know why he did it, but he leaned down, and kissed Kay. It was tender and gentle but the sparks they felt all night were still there. He pulled away as her eyes fluttered open.

" This is not a pity party." He smiled at her and she slowly smiled back at him and asked, " Why?"

" Because it felt right." Fox had no idea what else to say. Kay stroked his cheek with her hand and leaned in and said, " So does this."

Her lips crushed against his, and began lip locking with her until she opened her mouth and deepened the kiss. She was feisty, he could tell from her kisses.

He put his hand behind her neck and stood up taking her with him. She started taking his shirt off, and ran her hands across his toned, muscular, body. She took his shirt off and hung onto it as they began making their way to Fox's bedroom, but stopping a few times to pin each other against a wall or two.

They finally made their way to his bedroom and Kay dropped his shirt on the floor, and nibbled on Fox's lower lip. 'God, this woman drives me crazy!' he thought to himself.

They started undressing each other, each article of clothing not coming off fast enough. Then they collapsed onto the bed together.
