Open All Night

"I saw you coming from a mile away
Trying to hide behind that pretty face

Bet my last dollar that you've been bruised

Poor little heart, all black 'n' blue"

Pete stood in the doorway of Kitty's room, watching as Kitty swayed to the music all alone. In the weeks after their discussion they had begun to talk. He was surprised when she had told him that she was single, after a failed relationship with one of her teammates, Colossus. She had confessed that he had left her for a woman who had died. "Apparently," she had said bitterly. "Guys even prefer dead women to me."

"Last thing you needs another pick up line
You must have heard them all a thousand times

God only knows what you've been through

Believe me, I've been broken too"

During one such discussion they had discussed their past and both had confessed that they hadn't been with anyone else since that night. "It ain't like I haven't tried," Pete had said with a fond smile. "But you've ruined me fer anyone else."

Kitty had blushed before answering his smile with one of her own. "Ditto." Now here he was, just watching her dance, alone.

"It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away
I've been around that block a time or two"

Kitty could feel his eyes on her from across the room. Her body had never felt so aware of a man before. The song that played in the background was a ballad so her movements were slow, seductive. In contrast to her tranquil movements, her mind was racing. All thought stopped when she smelled his familiar cologne as he stepped in front of her

She opened her eyes. "Hi."

"Hey," he murmured. He extended a hand to her. "Dance with me?"

She smiled brightly. "I'd love to."

"Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you
I try, try, try but I can't get around the truth"

She stepped into his arms almost hesitantly. Pete's breath caught for a second at the feel of her body pressed so close to his. He shook off that feeling and closed his eyes wrapping his arms around her waist. "I missed this," he confessed.

"Me too," she smiled.

"I'll leave on the light"

"You know, this is weird," Kitty whispered looking up into his eyes.

"Wot?"

"That you would be right at the same bar my friends took me too."

"Fate," Pete murmured as they swayed together. Usually that word was only used sarcasticcally from the ex-spy but for some reason it seemed right.

"That's sappy," she said giving him a smile.

"Yeah, don't know where that came from."

"I got your taste in the back of my mouth
I want to reach in and pull it out"

"Pete?"

"Yes, luv?"

"I have a request."

"Wot?"

"Could you... kiss me?" Pete smiled a little and regarded her thoughtfully. "What?"

"Just wonderin' when ya started reading me mind, Kit." He leaned down and his mouth found hers. She sighed against his lips. He tasted the way she remembered. One of Pete's hands tangled in her hair angling her head for a better angle as his mouth devoured hers. His other hand remained on her back holding her against him.

"When you're this close, I'm afraid
Of the way I'll feel if I touch your hair

The way I'll miss you when you're not there

And that I'll see you when I close my eyes

It's too late, I've crossed that line"

"Damn," Pete murmured.

"Yes," Kitty said. "I totally have to agree."

"That was nice."

She giggled. "Yeah, that's one word."

"I don't want to make the same mistake
But it's too late

I'll leave on the light"

His lips found hers again. Kitty made a small needy sound leaning even closer. Pete pulled away from her lips to look into her eyes. "I have a request too," he murmured quietly.

"What's that?" His lips descended back down on hers and his tongue parted her lips. Kitty knew precisely what he wanted as he backed the two of them towards the bed. He pulled away and regarded her seriously.

"If ya don't want this t' go any further t'night, now's a good time t' let me know."

"Save me, baby
Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you

I try, try, try but I can only tell the truth"

"Pete," Kitty murmured softly. "There is nothing that I want more than you right now."

Pete smiled kissing her lips quickly and tenderly. "Thank God," he murmured. He lifted her up into his arms causing a surprised gasp then a giggle from her. He laid her down on the bed and climbed on himself. Their mouths met again as he began to strip off both of their clothing. Kitty gave a soft smile and touched Pete's face concentrating so both of their clothing came off. "Nice trick," Pete smiled brushing the clothing off the bed. "You are so damned beautiful."

"I-I'm not," Kitty whispered back.

"You are," he assured her as he began to lay hot kisses down her neck. "The only problem is that everyone else is too bloody blind t' see it." She shuddered as his mouth finally covered one breast.

"Pete, please," she murmured.

"Yes?" he smiled down at her.

"Stop teasing me."

He laughed. "As you wish, my lady." He found her already wet and ready for him. He kissed her as he dove into her with one thrust. Both cried out at the joining. Kitty wrapped her legs around his pulling him in closer. Pete suddenly rolled over.

"Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you
I try, try, try but I can only tell the truth

Please don't make me beg, give this heart a break"

"What...?"

"Yer show, luv." His hands on her hips helped her find a rhythm. He watched her as she rode him, knowing that he had never seen anything more erotic. He reached up and traced the outline of her breasts before expertly tweaking one nipple. She made a small mewling sound and sped up. He groaned beginning to move to meet her. Her movements became increasingly more erratic as she neared her climax.

"Pete," she whispered as she came apart.

"...God!" Pete cried out at her orgasm triggered his own. She collapsed on top of him. They lay, still entangled with each other, as they basked in the afterglow. "Oh, shit," Pete whispered suddenly.

"I'm on the shot," Kitty told him reading the worry on his face.

"Okay," he said relaxing. "In that case let's get a little sleep."

"I don't want to make the same mistake
But it's too late

I'll leave on the light

These arms are open all night"
