The drive to Saugatuck was comfortable and quiet. Jill sat next to Tim, his arm around her shoulders and she smiled wickedly as she placed her hand on his thigh.

"Jill."

"What?" she moved her hand a little higher.

"You're playing with fire here."

"Really?" she grinned.

"Yes," he answered tightly. "You know, I don't get you. Last week you weren't ready to go behind kissing and this week…"

"Yeah?"

"This week, you're playing with fire."

"Oh, yeah? Well what if I'm ready this week?"

"So four weeks is the magic number?"

"Tim… you keep talking and you're going to mess this up."

"Oh, oh, don't want that, no," Tim grunted.

She laughed and snuggled closer to him. "It's just that I feel closer to you. Like last week made us stronger."

"Oh, I like strong," he grunted his response.

She laughed again.

At Rusty's they danced for a while before quickly finding a dark corner. They were sharing some rather steamy kisses in a hayloft when Stu saw them. Well, he saw Tim.

"Finally giving up on Patterson, huh, Taylor?" Stu joked, startling Tim and Jill out of their kiss. "Oh, hi, Jill. How's it going?"

"It was a lot better before you came along."

"Uh…"

"Good-bye, Stu," Tim said, taking Jill's hand and leading her away. Stu was left standing in the loft alone, embarrassed, and confused.

"I'm sorry about that," Tim apologized to Jill when they'd made their way through the crowd and were standing outside the barn.

"It's okay. So Stu's been encouraging you to 'give up' on me?"

"Yeah. He thinks you're frigid."

"And what do you think?"

"What do I think? Hmm…" he kissed her. "I'm not getting frigid here."

"Why don't we go somewhere private and I can show you just how not frigid I am."

"Arr, arr, arr. Yeah, why don't we do that?"

He took her to a motel they'd passed on the way to the dance. He got a room and before she could change her mind, they were kissing passionately on the bed.

"Wait," Tim said, breaking off a particularly enthusiastic embrace. "Are you sure about this?"

"I'm sure. I want you. I want you now."

"Well, okay, then," and he reached for a condom.

They made wild passionate orgasmic love well into the night. Well into the next day too, for that matter. By the time they headed back to Western, their bond as lover had been deeply and permanently forged. There was no going back: they were a committed couple.

He kissed her deeply when he dropped her off at her dorm, not wanting their incredible weekend to end. "I'll see you later?"

"If you want to wait a minute, I'll see if Donna's here. If she'd not, you wanna come in?"

"Do I? Of course I do. I've never had sex with you in your dorm."

"You've never had sex with me anywhere other than Saugatuck."

"See? We've got a lot of catching up to do."
