So...my "muse" has finally decided to wake up again...lazy bitch...

Just another update...
On with it then...

oooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo

Diane could not remember the last time she had felt this good. Her body was positively humming with an unexpected energy. Her thoughts drifting softly over the events of the previous evening and earlier this morning, a soft smile gracing her lips as she buried her face further into the pillow. It smelled like him...her left hand sliding across the bed searching for him, his warmth, his...empty. That side of the bed was empty. Turning her head to look at where he had been she recalled that he had woken her just enough to murmur against her neck that he was getting up. He'd asked if she wanted breakfast, chuckling softly at her quietly grumbled response as she rolled over and buried her face in his pillow, "and coffee. Lots of coffee..." He'd left a soft bite on her shoulder before leaving the bed, causing her breath to catch slightly. He'd had to smile to himself... **damn, she's just incredible!**

Bracing his hands on the shower wall Kurt let the hot water sluice its way over his head and down his back. Hissing slightly at the sting of the water on the welts and fingernails marks she had left on him, as it washed the soap away.

While he'd planned for nothing more than dinner, he'd certainly, in the back of his mind at least, been hoping that he would be able to get her to spend the night with him. Pfftttt...who was he kidding? From the first moment he'd laid eyes on her he'd wanted to get her into bed.

And while he'd been expecting nothing more than some really good sex with a beautiful woman, she'd caught him completely off guard, eager and willing and it had turned into some of the most satisfying lovemaking he'd ever had. (Because there was no way that what had happened between them was in any way "just sex".) And that had been the greatest surprise of the evening.

Stepping out of the shower he turned the water off and grabbed a towel. After drying off and scrubbing the towel over his hair he tied it around his hips. Running his hands thru his hair to straighten it, he tossed a grin at his reflection in the mirror, she'd definitely left some marks! Damn! He felt good! For the first time in a long time he felt really good, physically and mentally. And it was all because of her.

Stopping in the doorway between the bathroom and the bedroom he watched her moving in the bed, it seems she was finally awake. His breath catching as he watched her roll over on to her back, the sheet slipping down around her hips as she braced her hands on the headboard and arched her back, stretching against the bed. Damnit, he just really wanted her again, and then maybe later... **better stop that line of thought, McVeigh! You both have things to do today!**

Finally awake Diane rolled over onto her back and braced her hands on the headboard, drawing her knees up a little and arching her back into a stretch, feeling the sheet slipping down to her hips. She'd heard Kurt as he stopped in the doorway, knowing he was watching her and she really wanted to tease him just a little more, smiling to herself at his quick breath. Rolling over on to her right side she sat up in the bed, leaning on her right hand. Noticing that the sheet was now wrapped around her hips and legs she reached down with her left hand and tugged on it, trying to free herself. Unfortunately the sheet was now trapped underneath her and she was unable to free it.

Walking over to the bed Kurt sat down behind her, leaning on his left hand, further trapping the sheet against her legs. Smiling a little as he ran his lips slowly over the back of her shoulder, "Good morning. Looks like you have a slight problem honey. You need some help?" Nuzzling against her ear as she turned her head to look at him. Leaning back against him she nodded her head, "Yeah" her voice a soft sigh. "I'm a little tangled up. Got any ideas?"

"I definitely have a few ideas, but I'm sure we'd both be very late for work and court today." His reply slightly muffled as he spoke softly against her skin, his right hand caressing up her right arm and down her back to her hip before slipping around to press his fingers against her belly. Her breath caught a little as he slid his hand higher, his fingers tracing over her breast. He watched her as he teased her, her eyes slowly closing as she bit her lower lip in an effort to supress a soft moan as she felt her body again responding to his touch.

She didn't really care at this point if she missed the entire day, she just wanted nothing more than his hands touching her, his lips on hers, his tongue...she couldn't remember the last time she'd wanted a man this much. She couldn't remember ever wanting a man, any man this much.

Tipping her chin up Kurt slowly ran his lips over hers, his tongue barely tracing over her lower lip, pulling away slightly when she tried to catch his tongue with hers. "We need to get out of this bed soon or we're going to be late..." he murmured against her lips. "I know, but I'm still tangled up in this sheet." her voice warm and soft.

"Ok, let's get you loose", he pulled away from her slowly, more than a little satisfied as the small noise of complaint she made as his hands left her. Pressing on her left shoulder to guide her, "lay face down and then roll over to the left and that should do it." His fingers warm against her back as she rolled over, sitting up again she was facing him this time. Taking full advantage of being free of the sheets she slid closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Her tongue teasing over his lower lip and then with his as he crushed her to his chest, his hands and fingers grippng at her like he couldn't let go.

"Have you ordered breakfast yet?" she asked in between leaving nipping kisses along his lower jaw and down his neck, her hands tracing a path down his chest.

"Not yet. You getting hungry?" his reply laced with laughter, smiling against her shoulder as her hands wandered lower. **how the hell did I get so lucky?** he thought to himself, relishing in the feel of her body against his.

Tugging on the towel Diane pulled it loose and ran her left hand down his hip across his thigh and ...he caught her wandering hand and held it flat against his thigh. Grinning at her as she dug her nails into his skin. "You keep that up and we will definitely be late..." chuckling at her long drawn out faux put upon sigh. "I know, it seems I just can't help myself." Trailing kisses from her shoulder to her neck and up to her ear. "God you are so beautiful" his voice a hoarse whisper against her skin, pulling her with him as he lay back on the bed and then rolled over, pinning her underneath himself, sliding his right leg between hers as she tried in vain to wriggle out from under him.

"We really need to get out of this bed Diane." his words laced with a rather large amount of humor. "It's a work day...unless you want to just take the day off and stay here...it's Friday, we can stay here all weekend if you like." Waiting for her answer he slowly ran his fingers up her side again, searching for that one spot that would get a reaction.

"No! No, don't do that!" she reached down and grabbed his wrist. Too late, his fingers tracing lightly over her side causing her to jerk away from his hand as she tried to stifle her laughter. Damn, why does she have to be so ticklish?

"OK! I'll get up." her words breathless with laughter. "And yes, I would love to stay here all weekend. I'm sure we can find something to do with ourselves..." she teased him. "Why are YOU not ticklish?"

"That's just for girls!" he smirked, his fingers again tracing over her side, watching with a smile as she clapped her hand over her mouth to stop her laughter as she squirmed away from his hand.

"Are you ready for breakfast? And coffee?" he asked again. She nodded up at him. "Yeah, but I'd like to grab a shower first".

"Ok. I think Antonia left something for you when she brought "dessert" last night, I set it in the bathroom. It's full of all kinds of girlie smelly things...should be something in there you'll like. How much time do you need?" his fingers softly tracing over her cheek, moving a few stray locks of her hair aside.

"Half an hour should be good...unless you want to join me?" laughing softly as he dropped his chin to her shoulder, his barely muffled "damn" whispered against her skin. She pushed him away a little, smiling up at him. "I'll behave, let me get up."

As he moved aside she sat up and pulled the sheet loose from the bed, wrapping it around herself as she stood up. As she stepped away from the bed he caught a corner of the sheet, stopping her. When she looked back down at him he tugged on the sheet a little, "That's a good look on you." he teased.

"Glad you like it" her lips soft on his as she kissed him again before disappearing into the bathroom, the door clicking softly shut behind her.

After a couple of minutes he got up and looked thru his clothes, knowing he needed to get dressed before he gave in to her offer and joined her in the shower. The sound of the water running in the shower catching his attention, maybe tomorrow morning...

As he looked at the room service menu he realized he had no idea what she would like for breakfast. Stepping over to the bathroom he knocked on the door, "Diane? What do you want for breakfast?" he asked thru the door, hoping she could here him over the running water.

"It's open, Kurt. I can't hear you." she replied.

Opening the door, he could see her silouette behind the shower doors... **Damn, better make this quick!** he thought to himself.

"What do you want for breakfast? Other than coffee. I'm getting ready to call it in."

"Oh! Sorry, um...a mushroom and spinach omelette. And bacon! Don't forget the bacon!" her words slightly muffled by the water.

"Got it. It usually only takes about 20 minutes for them to bring it." He grinned to himself. **Bacon? Hmmm...**

"I'll be ready by then." she assured him. Hearing the door click shut as he left the room, disappointed that he had not taken her up on the offer to join her.

Fifteen minutes later she emerged from the bathroom wrapped in one of the hotel's robes. She'd been pleasantly surprised when she had opened the box with her name on it. Somehow Antonia had managed to acquire all of Diane's favorite toiletries and makeup in the short time they had been in the restaurant , which was a feat in itself as she only shopped at specific boutiques and most of that information was closely held by the staff. Thoughts of trying to hire Antonia away from the hotel passed thru her mind again: she would be a good investigator.

She could hear Kurt talking to someone in the sitting room of the hotel suite, evidently breakfast had arrived. She was rather surprised to find her dress laying on the bed along with her lingerie. Guessing she had a few minutes before Kurt came back into the bedroom she slipped her clothing back on and stepped into her shoes. She was trying to fully zip her dress when she felt his hands on her hips.

"I unzipped this last night, the least I can do is zip up for you this morning." His words softly murmured in her ear as he zipped the dress for her, his arms wrapping around her waist after he was finished. "Breakfast is here. And I made sure there is lots of coffee for you."

"Thank you." turning in his arms and settling her hands on his shoulders, pulling him closer and placing a soft quick kiss on his lips.

As they ate breakfast they finalized their plans for the day and opted for dinner together instead of lunch as this would give her time to finish a few things before the end of the day. It had not taken much to convince her to spend the weekend with him and she'd only stated she'd need to pick up some clothes from home after work.

Reaching across the table Diane turned Kurt's hand enough that she could look at his watch, noticing that she had barely enough time to return home to do something with her hair and for a change of clothes. "I need to go soon." she commented as he took her hand in his, lacing their fingers together. "I know, let's go downstairs and get a car for you. Unless you drove last night?"

"No, I took a cab. I'm ready tho'."

The elevator ride was filled with companionable silence, his arm wrapped snuggly around her waist. As they stepped into the lobby Kurt noticed that it was rather windy outside. Slipping his jacket off her held it out for her, "Here, take this. It looks rather chilly this morning." Smiling as she slipped her arms into the sleeves, after letting him adjust it over her shoulders she took a quick moment to roll the sleeves a little as they were too long. "Thank you, I'll return it tonight." leaving a soft kiss on the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. McVeigh?" Kurt looked up to see Kellie standing behind the concierge desk. "I have a car waiting for Ms. Lockhart if she needs it."

"Thank you Kellie, pulling a night shift?" Kurt asked, a little surprised to see her still at the hotel.

"No, Antonia asked me to come in early to cover for her this morning. She left a note to make sure we had a car for Ms Lockhart if she needed it." Kellie explained, motioning to the uniformed driver standing near the lobby doors.

"Thank you Kellie, and thank Antonia for everything else, it was greatly appreciated." Diane's words bringing a pleased smile to the young woman's face.

Kurt followed Diane outside, leaving a kiss on her neck below her ear as they waited for the car to pull up. "I'll see you later."

"Ok. Call me when you get to the courthouse." Smiling back at him as she settled herself into the back seat of the car. Watching thru the rear window as the driver pulled out into traffic.

"Your office ma'am, or would you like to go home first? I have both addresses." the driver asked.

"Home please, thank you." **I seriously need to think about trying to hire Antonia, she has some mad skills where gathering info is concerned**

As Kurt returned to his room and Diane settled in for the ride home neither one had any idea that everything was going to blow up in their faces in a few hours...
