A/N: Thanks to Lucky Starz and Kittensbreath for reviewing chapter 3. Next chapter will most likely be the last unless I decide to add a little Fran and Maxwell too. I'll think about it. Anyways, hope you all enjoy this one!

Chapter 4- Domineering Turn On

As the girls headed out the door the were greeted by Niles one last time. He had gathered his wits about him somewhat and therefore had no problem insulting C.C. on their way to the door.

"Where are you off to today, frump girl? Off to get Maxwell his morning coffee? Could you get me a latte while you're out? Low fat please, I am trying to watch my waist line. Clearly you have overlooked that concept."

"Oh please, this coming from a man who finds the location of the cheesecake before Sylvia. And no I will not get you a latte! You have no power over me or in this house!"

He changed the subject in order to prolong this banter that he enjoyed so much.

"Babs, you got a date for the benefit? Oh of course, you do! Your date's name is me, myself and I!"

"I am sure whoever I decide to bring will exude much more couth than some floozy you picked up at the country club!"

"Oh, jealous are we Babs?"

"Oh please, don't flatter yourself! For your information, I could have a lovely date. John and I had a lovely time at the club last night and we exchanged numbers."

"Oh, that Ken doll I saw you all over last night? Please, you could have a more intelligent conversation with an ant than that pretty boy!"

"Oh and I suppose the lovely, and may I add, cheap, woman you met at the country club is well versed in Shakespeare and Hemmingway?"

"She happens to be a wonderful catch."

"Well, why don't you just marry her then?"

Because I am totally smitten over someone else!

They both hadn't noticed that Fran had left the room in the middle of their barbs. They continued their argument, sparks flying between them as they did so.

"What do you think, Babs, you think I should?" Niles said sarcastically.

No, because then that would mean you would be with someone else and I can't take that!

"I don't know, if her stupidity is equivalent to your head size, then yes I think it would be an excellent match."

"My head size! Who is humpty dumpty here, Babsy?"

"Please, you have used that insult on me so many times. I think you are losing your touch, Niles!"

"Oh, please Babcock, I am just getting warmed up!"

Is it the same way in which I am getting warmed up?

"Bring it on, Jupiter!"

"I would, but don't you have some scripts to give to the messenger since Max very well can't handle that himself?"

"For your information, I have the entire day off! Fran and I are going shopping if you must know."

"Oh, how exciting, Babs, is this the first time in 20 years you've been to the mall?"

"You are so infuriating!"

"Glad to bring that side out of you Babs!"

"I loathe you, you old cad!"

He shifted closer to her at this remark. Their faces were mere inches away from one another as he continued to insult her.

"I despise you, you mousy woman!"

"Well, I for one can't look at you another second." she said firmly with a slight twirl of her head and a jab of her finger into his chest.

She turned around about to head out the door, not before he ran in front of it to stop her.

"Don't run away from me, Babcock! I am not finished with you yet!"

"Well I am through with you, please move out of my way, now!"

He moved closer to her, she backed up slowly as he assertively approached her. He continued to come toward her until they were a mere inches apart once more. Truth be told Niles wasn't thinking straight and starting to lose control.

Forcefully he grabbed her upper back and pulled him toward her so that their bodies were pressed together. Both their hearts were pumping wildly at this sudden close proximity. C.C. could feel herself starting to sweat and those urges she felt only hours earlier were starting to come back again. They looked into each others' eyes, however, her glasses were on the edge of her nose, about fall off.

She urgently pushed them up before they went tumbling down to the ground.

"I said, I wasn't finished with you Babcock!"

And with that he crashed his lips on top of hers. Initially, she didn't respond and her eyes were still open in shock. This shock wore off quickly however, and she responded by wrapping her arms around him. She began to explore, running her left hand through his sandy blonde hair, while using the other one to explore the feeling of his broad shoulders and strong back.

His hands started exploring every inch of her body. He reveled in this closeness and was ravished by the feeling of her curves. She was bigger than the normal standard of beauty and he loved her because of that. More beautiful skin to explore, grab onto and make his, he figured.

His hands continued to explore her hips and lower back and she parted her lips for entry. He gave in immediately and their tongues rhythmically danced and entwined around each other in and long and passionate kiss. Their hands continued to ravenously explore every inch of one another for the remainder of the kiss.

They broke apart when the need of oxygen was dire to their survival. Niles didn't gasp for air however, until he was able to brandish her with several more aggressive kisses along her soft cream colored neck. Surely they would leave some kind of mark.

Gaining their composure, their eyes met briefly. They were still in one another's arms at this point. The desire was evident in both their eyes as they remained like this for a moment longer. Niles brought a hand up to play with a strand of her nut brown hair. They lingered like this a moment longer, no words between them.

However, their contact was interrupted as Maxwell walked into the room and they broke apart abruptly.

"There you two are, I could hear you at each other's throats all the way from the office. Honestly, I cannot leave you two in the same room together. Niles come to my office, I have a question about those contracts you brought over. And C.C. I thought you said you were taking the rest of the afternoon off.

Slightly flustered, C.C. opened her mouth to answer him.

"Oh, yes, of course, Fran and I were just leaving. FRAN!"

"Slowly, the downstairs bathroom door opened and Fran appeared. Of course, being a yenta and a sucker for romance, she had watched the entire thing go down in the hallway."

"C.C. I am ready, lets go shopping."

And with that they walked out the door. Niles admired her backside as she walked out the door and wished he was in bed, spooning her, memorizing the feeling of her curvaceous butt and the small of her back against him.

Needless to say, the rest of his work day would prove to be quite difficult, when the only thing he could think about was making this woman his.

….

C.C. and Fran were having a wonderful time at the mall. Of course Fran had already bought about 7 bags worth of items and C.C. ended up carrying about half of them, but she was still enjoying herself nonetheless.

They still needed to find her a dress for the benefit however. She had tried on a few, all of which were very pretty on the hanger, but just not doing it for her when she put them on. Her and Fran entered another department store, determined to find something for her to wear.

"C.C. come out of the dressing room already and let me see it!"

"Fran, it looks awful!"

"Just let me see!"

"Fine"

C.C. opened the door and Fran was having a hard time keeping herself from laughing. The dress looked outrageous, completely unflattering in all the wrong places.

"Stop laughing, I told you it was bad!"

"Definitely a no, for that, hold on, let me go look for another one."

C.C. waited patiently as Fran went to look for another dress. She swiftly came back with another one.

"C.C. I have a good feeling about this one, try it on!"

"Alright, whatever you say."

C.C. put on the dress and gazed at herself it the dressing room mirror.

Hmmm, I really like this one. I wonder what Niles will think. OMG, why I am thinking like that. And what the hell was I thinking, kissing him in the middle of Mr. Sheffield's house! Well, I am sure he is playing head games with me. I can't let him win.

Fran's nasal voice interrupted her thoughts.

"C.C. c'mon! Hurry up, already and let me see. I am dying here!"

Slowly C.C. opened the door to the dressing room to show Fran the dress. Fran smiled as she took in C.C.'s appearance. The dress itself was a dark purple halter that was cut slightly low, enough to see a little cleavage, but enough coverage to leave a little mystery involved. It had a nice elegant rhinestone pattern in the middle of the cut. A little matching jewelry and the right shoes and C.C. would look amazing.

"You look absolutely stunning. This is the one, no question about it!"

"Oh, you think so? I did like it myself!"

"Like, girl, I love it. Niles will be all over you."

"Speaking of Niles, Fran, I sort of lost control….."

"Girl, no need to tell me I saw the whole thing. I thought I was inside a Danielle Steel novel."

"Fran, you are such a yenta!"

"So weird, hearing you speak Yiddish."

"I know, right!"

They laughed as C.C. shut the door to the dressing room to change back into her normal clothes. With reassurance from Fran, she knew this dress was the one.

When she came out of the dressing room, the girls continued to look around the store and when they were finished and at the register to pay, C.C ended up buying some shimmering earrings and a bracelet, as well as a pair of silver open toed heels that would all complement the dress beautifully.

The girls left the mall happily after first eating at the food court. They both took Val's car back to Val's apartment and C.C. paid for the cab to take them back to her apartment.

It was pretty late when they arrived back to her apartment. Tiredness was starting to overcome C.C. as she walked through the door with her new dress and accessories. Fran could clearly see that is was time for C.C. to hit the sack.

"Tired so soon?"

"Yes, unlike you, I was up at 7 am" she said sleepily.

"True. Ok, well go to bed, get your beauty sleep, although if I asked Niles, he'd most likely say that keeping you awake all night is his ultimate goal!"

"Fran!"

"Just saying! Anyways, I can't wait for the benefit this weekend. You and Niles and me and Barbra! I will finally get to meet the messiah, herself!"

"Oh and C.C., sweet dreams!" the nasal women laughed honkily.

C.C. let out a small laugh before heading to her bedroom and getting ready for bed. She crawled into her bed and fell asleep pretty quickly.

Needless to say, her dreams were full of more fantasies involving that cad of an attorney.

As much as she pretended to hate his domineering behavior, it was secretly one of the traits that turned her on most about him.

The benefit would certainly be interesting.
