A/N: Thanks for all the reviews gang,makes a girl feel good. I've been debating on just how far to take this chapter. I'm not sure they have a rating for what I could do between these two...mwhahaha...'it may get hot in here and they will be taking off all their clothes.' p.s. I had to tie my muse up for this so if ya hear a muffled groan it's just me smacking her upside the head. She's not been helping and neither has the lack of 'nooky' in my own marital world. Enjoy!

Chapter 7: Bedroom Affairs

Jordan felt nervous. Very nervous. They had already shared an intimate moment,albeit they were very intoxicated. 'Who says it's going that far,Cavanaugh?', she thought to herself.

Woody brought her back from thought, "Jo,you know you can come sit next to me. I won't bite..." while flashing those dimples, "well..."

"Believe me,Farmboy...I won't ever ask ya to." Woody shook his head. Little did he know that she was the one that liked to do all the biting.

Sitting down on the couch next to him she cuddled closer and placed her head on his shoulder. "Well,it's been a long interesting day hasn't it?"

He simply replied,"Sure has."

"I'm glad those two finally get there chance at happiness. They deserve it. They both have huge hearts."

Woody nodded in agreement.

Jordan noticed his sudden silence. "Is there something wrong,Woody?"

He took a minute in answering her,lost in his own thoughts. Finally, "When do we get our chance,Jordan?"

She expected this but she just didn't expect it to be this soon. She figured she would just play dumb, "What do ya mean?"

He wasn't buying it, "You know what I mean,Jo. We've been dancing around for years,both fighting our own personal demons,and when we get close to getting on the same page something always happens. When does it finally work for us?"

Jordan sighed, 'When does it work for us?' She didn't answer,instead she sat there with her head on his shoulder. This was one of the things she had missed the most about spending time with Woody,just being together. No pressure,just being. She knew that he would always want more and so would she. But was it worth taking that chance...again? Laying out those three little words on the table just to have him knock the table over...again?

After about half an hour Woody had stood all the silence he could handle. "I guess I better get going. I'm sure you're probably exausted from your first day back. It has been kind of eventful." He started to rise from his spot on the couch but Jordan quickly grabbed his arm.

"Woody?"

Looking down at her with those caring blue eyes, "Ya,Jordan?"

"Didn't you say you were taking the day off tomorrow?"

Surprised by this question, "Yes.Why?Is there something you need?"

It was now or never. The time had come to turn that literal page and see where the story decided to take them. She stood up next to him,looking him in the eyes and taking a deep breath she answered, "Yes. I...I need you."

With that she leaned forward and kissed him. It was slow and gentle at first,but only for a few seconds then it turned deeper. They both let hungry growls escape their lips as they leaned into each other. After a few minutes he pulled her just half an arms length away. She was worried.

His mind was racing. "Jo,before this goes any further...I...I have to know this is what you really want."

Her fears quickly relieved, "Yes,Woods. This is what I really want. This is what I've always wanted." Leaning back into him, "Would you stay the night with me?"

He coolly looked at her and said, "No."

This had not been the answer she thought she would get,especially from him. She felt a sting of tears but she refused to shed them.

Suddenly he smiled and taking her by surprise, "I'll stay every night with you." And with that he wrapped his arms around her,pulled her close against him and resumed kissing her passionately.

There were only a few minutes of this before they had slid down to the couch. Both of them half on and half off. Woody nibbled on Jordan's ear and slowly started kissing her down her kneck. She let out a slight moan and he was eagerly aroused. The shaft in his pants had quickly grown hard and she could feel it against her leg. He continued kissing and licking down to her belly button and back up to her breasts. By this point she was very aroused herself.

Almost in a whisper, "Woody?"

All she got was a, "Mmmm?" He wasn't about to finish what he started.

"Wouldn't it be more comfortable in the bedroom?"

He stopped long enough to answer, "It probably would be wouldn't it?" He stood and catching her off guard he quickly bent back down scooping her up and carrying her towards her room.

Blushing, "I could've walked ya know?"

Proudly and honestly, "I think,Miss Cavanaugh,that we should do it right this time."

Placing her down so she could sit on the edge of the bed, "I have to admit that the moonshine kinda blurred things so I want tonight to be very rememberable..." dimples in place and a sparkle in the eyes, "...for both of us."

This was the man she knew. Not the angry cop that she had dealt with for most of the year. The passion was still there. It had always been,just covered by other emotions fighting for his attention. There was always one constant in his life to keep him,for the most part,in control...her. This knowledge is what intoxicated her now. It added fuel to the fires of desire and right now she needed him. It wasn't only about her love for him, but for a split second she had thought of JD and the sadness in that thought had made her want Woody more. She needed to know that he was really there with her.

Woody had taken off her blouse and bra and gently laid her down against the bed. He stood for a moment and without thinking simply ripped his shirt from his chest.

Jordan responded with a, "Grrrr..."

He blushed but continued to unbutton his pants. When done with his own he slowly pulled her jeans down to the floor.

She saw the physical scar he carried from his run in with Wayne Riggs. She had to close her eyes for a moment because the thought of how close she had come to losing him was too much to bare. He sensed this and gently placed his body on top of hers. The sudden warmth brought her back to the present.

"I know,Jo. I know what you're thinking, but I'm here.." taking her hand and running it along his scar, "..in the flesh." Trying to take the seriousness out of the moment he added, "So, you better take advantage of it while ya can."

She laughed and placing her hand behind his head pulled him down for a kiss. "Oh,I plan on doing just that."

"Jo,I know how much the 'gang' has always rooted for us but can we keep our bedroom affairs to the two of us?"

Not sure of what that request was to mean and not cutting him any slack, "Why,Hoyt,are you ashamed of us?"

He grinned playfully, "No,ma'am! I'll shout it to the world that Jordan Cavanaugh is finally mine but...I just don't think I could handle Nigel's banter."

"Ahh,I got it. Agreed." She thought to herself, 'I don't even want to think about Nigel's reaction right now.'

"Well,now. If you don't mind I'd like to continue..." With that he reached down with one hand and pulled off her panties.

Excitedly, "Oh my,please do." It wasn't long before both were totally naked and under the sheets.

Rolling around the bed had made both of them sticky and sweaty. Hot flesh pressed hard against flesh and with a desire to never seperate. Jordan had never felt so explored or admired. The feeling was intense yet he was being gentle. It was the same for Woody. She had been all over him from head to toe while stopping for awhile somewhere in the middle.

As Woody was close to climaxing,in a deep voice, "Jordan, what do you want me to do?"

Not understanding what he meant, "Just keep going." Throwing her legs around his waist and thrusting in rhythm with him, "We'll do it together."

Having no time at all to explain himself, "Jordan...I meant...oh,god,Jordan..."

"Ohhh...Woody..." and when the first wave hit her the words came, "...I love you!"

Taken aback by what she had just said he forgot what he had been trying to tell her. As he released himself to her physically he also let go emotionally,bending down to kiss her he whispered, "I love you,too." And he collapsed.

They said nothing more the rest of the night. There was nothing else to be said. She had rolled over on her side and he followed. He snuggled up behind her and wrapped an arm over her and that is the way they both fell asleep until morning.

The sunlight poured over Jordan's face and slowly the warmth awoke her. She felt a slight chill and wondered if Woody had rolled away from her in the night. When she threw a hand over to investigate and found the bed was empty except for her she panicked. "Woods?"

No answer.

'No way this could be happening. Not again', she thought.

She went to the bathroom,no Woody,and threw on her bathrobe. Taking a quick glance about the apartment she realized there was no evidence of him ever being there.

"I know I didn't imagine the whole thing."

Then reality set in. She had given herself to him and laid those three little words down on the table again. But this time he didn't turn the table over he simply had just turned and walked away.

She fell onto the couch and began sobbing, "What is wrong with me? What did I do wrong in a previous life?"

Before she got too carried away the phone rang. She tried to compose herself while answering, "Cavanaugh..."
