In the back of her mind Sara was wondering if this was really a good idea; she was now straddling Nick's lap in the hot tub and kissing him for all she was worth and for Nick's part he was giving as good as he was getting. The thing wasn't the kissing or even being naked together in the hot tub engaging in some pretty hot foreplay; it was that there were six other people in the house that probably could see exactly what they were doing and quite frankly, she didn't want an audience for where this very clearly was heading. Sara mumbled against his lips. "We probably shouldn't be doing this right here."

Nick's mind was a bit clouded with lust, but he managed to understand that she was talking about the hot tub and not him. However, he was sure he wasn't ready to let her go quite yet; not with her hips doing that. He let out a soft groan. "But you feel so good."

Sara completely agreed that he felt pretty damn good too and she wondered how hard it would be to convince him to buy a hot tub for his townhouse so they wouldn't have to worry about someone walking out and catching them if they decided to do a repeat of this. "Nicky, let's go inside."

Nick silenced her with another kiss; the way her body was sliding sensually against his in the water was too much to resist and he certainly didn't want to let go of her long enough to move this inside even though he knew he really didn't want their first time together to be quite like this. It was finally the feel of Sara's hands pushing against his chest that caused him loosen his hold on her. He looked into her eyes and grinned. "Ok, let's go inside then."

Sara could tell from the look in his eye that he was more than excited by the idea of being with her and that thought made her that much more excited even as she climbed off of him and grinned back. She didn't even ask if he was going to follow as she climbed out of the hot tub.

The sight of a dripping wet Sara Sidle in the moonlight was enchanting and the luminescence of her skin was too much for Nick to resist as he pulled himself out the hot tub right after her. He pulled her into another kiss before they even reached the door to the house and despite the fact that standing there naked dripping wet was far riskier than staying in the hot tub both of them were oblivious for a few moments.

Finally, Sara pushed him away grinning wildly and took his hand in hers. "We shouldn't do this right here either." She was both amused and excited that he couldn't seem to keep his hands off of her; if she'd known that he felt like this she would have done something sooner to let him know that she was interested.

Nick managed to keep his hands off of her until they got into the house, but as he came up behind her in the great room and rested his hands on her hips, she let out a surprised yelp and turned around with such a gleeful expression that he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Sara's brows arched upwards and she brought her finger up to his lip to quiet him. Then she turned and crooked her finger for him to follow her down the hall. She was about to move towards her room, but Nick took her hand and shook his head, whispering. "No neighbors this way."

That simple phrase almost rocked her world. As she let him lead her to his room, she felt the anticipation building; she'd been with enough men to know the difference between great sex and just sex and she hoped that this encounter would blow great right out of the water.

As soon as the door was closed behind them and they were finally all alone things slowed down a bit and as Nick pulled her close he leaned in and gently kissed her, wanting to enjoy every moment of this experience. They sort of waltzed over towards the bed trading long slow kisses and tumbled onto. Sara shivered as the texture of the fabric brushed against her back and Nick hovered over her.

"You ok?" Nick lay nestled between her thighs incredibly excited at the prospect of being with Sara.

"Just cold." Going from the lake to the hot tub and then the cool night air without drying off had caused goose bumps to rise up all over her body. Sara smiled at him and she slid her foot down the outside of his calf encouraging him to warm her up.

Sara felt soft to Nick; her skin, her hair; even the way she looked felt soft to Nick and as he began to nuzzle her neck and his hand slid up to envelope her breast, everything was so soft; until he brushed his thumb over her nipple and he felt it harden under his touch; it was at that moment that he realized that she was also fire and incredible power. He was convinced that if she asked him for anything right then that there was no way that he would deny her.

Nick's touch was sending jolts of pleasure coursing throughout Sara's body, as his fingers caressed her breasts she felt the heat building between her legs and she found herself arching up into him; wanting that hand that was softly gripping her hip to slip a little lower and more towards center. Her hands seemed to move of their own accord, skimming across the well delineated muscles of his chest and around to his back in an attempt to bring him closer.

Nick's mouth was on her breast now, and as he heard a soft moan escaping Sara's throat he could feel himself getting harder. He slid his hand across her abdomen; slipping through the downy curls at the apex of her thighs. Sara bucked her hips against his hand and let out another moan. The torture of these little touches continued building until they were both breathing heavily.

"Nicky." Just the way she said his name was filled with want and just to make sure that she was being absolutely clear, Sara slid her hand in between them and gave him a few firm strokes.

Nick slid into her as he grunted her name. "Sara." He felt euphoric at the sensation of being buried in her warmth and as he looked down into her desire filled eyes, he began to rock his hips against hers.

Sara felt almost drunk from the pleasure that was building and she was glad that Nick had suggested they go to his room because the closer she got to going over the edge the more vocal she got, telling him what she wanted, how she wanted it and letting him know when he got it just right.

Nick wasn't sure how he lasted as long as he did; Sara was his undoing and when he finally tumbled over the edge it was only after she had gone over first. Afterward, he looked at the woman tangled up in his arms with a bit of awe and wonder; and he couldn't stop smiling at her as she drifted off to sleep, finally drifting off to sleep himself a short time later.

It wasn't until the next morning that anyone else had any clue of what exactly had transpired between Nick and Sara; Warrick had walked out on the deck to sip a cup of coffee while Tina was working some magic in the kitchen when he noticed an odd sight. There on the deck were two sets of clothing strewn haphazardly as if the former occupants of them were in a hurry to leave them behind. He let out an amused chuckle as the pieces slid into place; apparently Nick and Sara had taken Archie and Emily's words to heart; skinny dipping worked every time.

The End
