Chapter Three - Deal Cowboy

Lindsay woke to a shining light flowing through the crack in the curtains of her bedroom window, she stretched arching her back and moaning innocently. She smiled as the nights events replayed in her mind, she hadn't yet opened her eyes, she daren't, just in case it was all a dream, and if she opened them Danny wouldn't be there.

"Danny?"

No answer.

"Danny?"

"Mmm."

Lindsay opened one eye slowly and saw that she was looking a sleeping Danny in the face, she smiled widely.

"Nothing, just checking your still here."

Lindsay was still looking at Danny, when he opened his eyes slowly. He blinked a couple of times, trying to get his focus but even without his glasses he could see Lindsay staring.

"Where else would I be?"

"I don't know, not with another girl I hope."

Danny laughed to himself and leaned in and kissed Lindsay tenderly. Their kiss lingered and longed until he pulled away.

"Trust me, not going to happen."

"Good, glad to hear it. Cant say the same for me though, I just keep getting so many offers from Flack and Pino that I think I might cave one day."

Danny sat up quickly and gave Lindsay a confused look, a serious look.

"Flack and Pino have been hitting on you?"

"Danny, I was joking, although Pino does, but that's beside the point, that's who he is."

Danny nodded and laid back down so that Lindsay could snuggle into his open arms. He kissed he on the top of the head.

"You know, I have a new admiration for country girls."

"Whys that?"

"Well I never knew that they were so wild, well I knew they were but not in THAT way."

Lindsay laughed and hit Danny playfully on the chest and sat up.

"I had really get up now. I'm not going just magically get ready for work with a flick of my magic wand."

Danny sighed loudly.

"If you say so, I don't really want to but I'd better get going, people might get suspicious if I go to work in the same clothes."

Lindsay laughed out loud which earned her a lingering look from Danny.

"Sorry, but I doubt people would think any different Danny, they'd probably just think you'd spent the night at some girls apartment."

"I'm deeply hurt by that comment, how 'bout we test that theory of yours then Montana."

Lindsay had been sitting on the edge of her bed, with back to Danny. But this proposition gained her undivided attention.

"I'm listening Messer, what are the terms?"

Lindsay crawled over to Danny who was sitting on the other sedge of the bed, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed it softly. He leaned his head into the side of her neck and smiled.

"Lets see Montana, I stay here until we leave for work and I go to work in the clothes I went in yesterday, if no-one notices you have to buy me dinner. If someone notices and comments, I buy you dinner. Deal?"

Lindsay lifted her head and lent in close to Danny's ear she nibbled on his earlobe before answering.

"Deal cowboy."

Danny had shivers running down his spine, how she could do this to him he would never know, but she was and he wasn't about to stop her.

Lindsay took his hand and led him to the bathroom, she had a seductive look on her face, in a matter of less than 24 hours Danny had seen a completely different side to Lindsay, and again he wasn't about to ask that she change.

An hour or so later Lindsay and Danny were sitting in her kitchen eating their breakfast and drinking some strong morning coffee. Lindsay caught Danny staring at her, she wasn't wearing anything special, just a plain green v-neck top with a pair of black trousers, nothing special she thought, she knew that the trousers she was wearing would drive him wild and the top, well it dipped low enough to leave something to his imagination, not that he needed to imagine anymore.

"Danny stop it, you cant do that at work."

Danny raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"True, hence why I'm trying to get it out of my system now."

Lindsay shook her head and laughed, she stood up and picked up the empty plates and walked over to the kitchen and dropped them gently in the sink.

Danny picked up the empty coffee cups and followed. He placed them on the counter and then wrapped his arms around Lindsay's neck and nuzzled his head into her neck.

"Yes Danny?"

"Nothing, cant a guy do this and not have an alterior motive?"

Lindsay laughed and turned in Danny's arms so that she was facing him. He hands were wet from after washing them.

"This isn't other guys we're talking about this is you, the infinite Danny Messer."

Danny pulled away and crossed his arms and stared at Lindsay intently.

"I thought you said you didn't listen to idle gossip?"

Lindsay mimicked Danny's stance.

"I don't, but I've known you long enough to establish this little fact for myself."

Danny said nothing but laughed.

"You think you've got me figured out?"

Lindsay walked towards Danny and stood inches from his face.

"Pretty much, but there is still time for you to surprise me you know."

"There are things about me Montana that would surprise you, as I am sure there are things about you that would surprise me."

Lindsay nodded and kissed Danny gently on the lips. And then slapped his ass.

"Come on cowboy, we'd better get going."

Danny smirked and followed Lindsay to the front room, they both grabbed their bags and headed to the door, but Danny grabbed Lindsay's arm and pulled her into a passionate kiss that left them both breathless. Lindsay pulled away breathing heavily.

"Not that I didn't like that at all, because I did…a lot, what exactly was that for?"

"Well, I have to have something to keep me going until tonight, we are still meeting arent we?"

Lindsay laughed and kissed him gently on the lips and made her way out of her apartment. But not before turning to Danny and putting him out of his misery.

"Obviously Danny, I'm expecting a repeat performance of last night…and I'm pretty sure there was the promise of dinner from a deal we made earlier, just before we hit the shower this morning, remember?"

"I remember the shower well…it was exhilarating to say the least."

Lindsay laughed and hit Danny playfully, she and Danny were walking towards the exit of the building.
