A/N Thanks you to those of you who reviewed (I can't believe I am almost at 50!). Here's the next chapter. I'm raising the rating a little due to some language and whatnot. Enjoy!

Thanks once again to the wonderful SallyJetson for the beta and encouragement.

Chapter 8: Confrontations:

"Hi Danny. Can I come in?" Lindsay asked uncertainly.

Danny moved to let her pass and closed the door behind her.

"Nice room."

"Thanks."

An awkward silence filled the air, as neither knew what to say to the other. Danny stared at Lindsay while Lindsay looked at anything and everything but Danny.

Finally Danny couldn't take it anymore. "I saw you at the club." Yeah, great start. Don't tell her that you miss her just remind her that she's a stripper. Stupid.

"I figured, since you left your card and all." Were you hoping for a private show or something? Is that why I'm here?

"And you're doing that because…?" Come on Montana, let me in a little, tell me if you're in trouble. Let me help.

"I don't see how that is any of your business. I didn't ask you to come here and butt into my life." God this is not going well.

Fuck, this isn't going well.

By this time, both had squared their bodies to one another and were on the defensive. All that stood between their glares were air molecules and even they were heading for the hills to get out of the line of fire.

"What's the deal with using the name Dakota anyway? That's my thing!"

"You think you're the only one able to name people after states? Like it was really that ingenious in the first place."

The distance between them became less and less as the argument heated up.

"That's not the point. The point is that was OUR thing." Damn it.

"YOU only called me THAT because you were trying to be an ASS and remind me that I wasn't good enough." Take that.

"At the start, but you very well know it was more than that. That WE were more than that. If you didn't you wouldn't have slept with me." Forgot that little detail didn't ya.

Even though they were only a foot apart, their voices had risen several decibels over what would be deemed acceptable in polite company.

"Maybe I just needed a good lay. Ever think of that?"

"So you admit I was good then!"

Lindsay opened her mouth to respond, but found she couldn't find the words. Danny took this opportunity to violently slam his lips against hers, not waiting for permission as he forced his tongue inside her mouth. Lindsay immediately responded, wrapping her arms around his neck and using her tongue to fight back for control. Danny quickly placed one hand in her curls and another on her ass pulling her flush against him. He then moved his hand back down to play with the hem of her shirt before pulling it over her head. She released her hold around his neck just long enough to remove the offending garment and to pull at his shirt, releasing all of the buttons onto the floor before he shrugged it off. A small smile played at her lips as she realized that his usual undershirt was missing and she could have complete access to his chest without any further fuss. Her arms were back around him again and his hands were on her ass as he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around him tightly. He used his tongue and suckled on one of her breasts and then the other. Lindsay was thankful that bras were optional accessories for strippers.

Soon more clothing was removed, and moans and groans filled the air as they found their rhythm, clinging desperately to one another, neither one willing to let go.
