Finding himself unable to sleep while waiting for his departure time from Vegas he found himself doing little things to keep himself busy, having the house already tidy he cleaned out the front closet and he could finally see shelf space, and found out he had three pairs of the same shoe, all in roughly the same condition how that happened he would never know but now they were all sitting in there ready for wear, he organized the junk drawer as Katie put it, menus, flyers they thought would be good for later, and just odds and ends ended up in that drawer, he had filed away the menus on how much they eat at the place and so on, the flyers were thrown out, all having expired along with the few coupons he found in there, and even a meat thermometer he didn't even knew he had.

The plane ride had been similar, the book he brought along seemed boring and he read the same page three times before finally giving up on it and the magazines he flipped through looking at the pictures, he was unable to sleep on the plane, even having no one beside him and the rest of the flyers having no problem shutting there eyes so he sat back, his eyes open the whole time.

By the cab ride to the hotel he figured out he was excited, his conclusion came from having a smile that never went away from the moment he stepped off the plane, and still upon his face, which was starting to hurt from holding the same expression for quite some time.

The elevator seemed to slow for him and he began tapping his fingers against his pant legs keeping in beat with the music wafting slowly from the speakers from above him.

The sound of the door being opened and finally breathing in a scent that he associated with Katie, did he feel at ease, he walked slowly unaware of the layout of the room, the drawn curtains helped little in his aide to avoid running into things, the layout of the room unknown.

Dawn was just starting to creep up onto the island as he finally found the bed, and he saw her, laying on her stomach, in one of his shirts, one hand under the pillow, the other laid out beside her. At the moment he wasn't sure which he wanted to do more, wake her up and kiss her until his lips fell off, or snuggle in beside her. He could do both, he could snuggle and wake her up at the same time he deemed and make quick time removing his shirt and pants.

Slipping in beneath the cool sheets he felt her body heat descend on him. Reaching over to kiss her cheek, his upper body covered her back as he remained in close proximity.

"Rise and shine beautiful" he whispered, the ever-rising sun bathed the room in a soft glow around the curtains, and just enough light to see her smile.

"Not yet" she said back pulling the blanket closer.

"You don't even want to wake up to see me?"

"Not yet" she repeated, still smiling

"Well only because I'm tired too am I letting you get out of this"

"Ya ya" she muttered turning on her side allowing him to spoon her from behind, she lifted her head for his arm to drape across her pillow, giving him a closer cuddle.

"Get lots of sleep now, cause you won't get it later" he whispered into her ear before kissing her cheek once again

"Promises, promises" she mumbled out as sleep once again overtook her, and finally sleep was able to take him as well.

"So I've been thinking" Katie said as his fork detached a small bit of waffle, dipping it in some of the whipped cream on his plate

"Really you think?" he joked, holding up the fork in her direction silently asking if she wanted a bite, she shook her head no and he proceeded to eat the waffle.

"You know how some couples don't sleep together until till there married?"

"We're a little late for that hun" his fork contained another piece of the waffle, this piece however absorbed the syrup on his plate.

"No I mean we haven't 'done it'" fingers quotations used "in almost three weeks, what's a few more days, so it would be better, more pent up sexual frustration to get out you following me here?"

"I'm following doesn't mean I like it but I really have no say in it do I?" she shook her head no as she dabbed a small chunk of whipped cream off the side of his mouth with her napkin.

"That's what I thought but I'm drawing the line at sleeping in different rooms the night before" she opened her mouth to protest but he waved his fork with yet another piece off waffle on it, covered in both syrup and whipped cream, as he shook it in front of her a piece of cream fell off onto the table between them.

"No, I'm agreeing to no sex, I'm putting my foot down at the different rooms bit" she opened her mouth to speak once again but he gave her a look that told her it wasn't up for discussion.

Emerging from the bathroom in only a towel, water running down her body, he had to grip the bed sheets beside him as he flicked through channels just not to jump her bones then. As she rummaged through drawers the TV was sitting on, she bent over, her towel clad derriere in full view by Nick. He simply looked away, gripping the remote so hard he thought he heard a crack and instantly released it. She disappeared after finding what she needed in the drawers and came back seconds later with a lotion bottle in one hand, still in a towel, her hand dripping down her back onto the towel. Lifting one leg onto the bed she proceeded to moisturize her legs, in Nick's opinion she was going way too slow. He'd seen her do this countless times before at home but somehow this time was different.

He knew he was hard, he felt it start to harden the second she walked out of the bathroom in only a towel, this was unfair to him he deemed.

"Can you do my back?" she turned lotion bottle in hand

He jumped off the bed ready to touch her, ready to pounce but instead took the bottle from her, squeezing a small amount into his hand and rubbed them together to spread the liquid. The moment she dropped her towel he knew what she was doing.

He took his time rubbing the lotion into her back, pausing at all the right places applying just the right amount of pressure to cause a moan or two. It didn't help matters that he stood so close to her as he massaged her neck.

"Is there any other place you haven't moisturized yet?" he drew out his words in her ear, he felt her shiver.

"I uhh…my stomach" came out in pieces, so much so it caused him to smile, she was getting to him, he was getting to her. As he lubed up again for the journey that was her stomach she stepped back into him, she reached back wrapping an arm around his neck, squirming when his fingers dipped a little lower than they should have.

She was killing him, and he dished it right back.

Knowing at any moment he would sink to his knees pleading with her to lift the no sex before marriage rule she enforced earlier this morning. And begging was something he did not do. He finished rubbing in lotion on her stomach and stepped back, leaving her to pick up her towel and knot it firmly at her breasts.

"There's got to be rules" he told her walking to the balcony whipping open the door and sighing when a cool breeze washed over his flaming skin.

"Rules?" she questioned following him outside

"Yes like no trasping around in a towel, asking me to put on lotion and certainly no bending over"

"Bending over?"

"Don't ask" she nodded her head

"Do these rules apply to you as well?" he really hadn't thought that far, the blood that rushed from his head to other regions at the time left little time to think.

"I'm not the one who made the rule"

"But it's important to me even however silly it may be to you" she crossed her arms ready to battle the point till she was blue in the face if she had to.

"Alright fine" he agreed there went his idea of walking around in only a towel or just swim trunks.

"The wedding is in two days, I'm pretty sure you can handle yourself"

Well at least she believed it. It was going to be a very long two days for him.

A/N: So anyways day behind on this, it's Wednesday morning for them not pushing Thursday morning like it is now. Just hopefully I have some writing power tomorrow to get it all finished so I can at least keep the wedding as the scheduled date. Reviews are welcome. I'm going scrap all my energy into writing this one and a new continuation of the Never Take Friendship Personal series which I've neglected for far too long. But yet sadly I do not own any of this except for Katie.
