Hi again, everyone! I really appreciate all of the reviews and comments. This next chapter is shorter than the last ones and also has a bit of a cliffhanger. Sorry about that but the next chapter will probably be up later on today.

Chapter 4

Darien blushed and felt a ball of nervousness in the pit of his stomach. 'What if she doesn't like what she sees or what if this isn't enough to make her feel better?' Yes, he was a mature man who shouldn't be worried about such things but she made him feel like a teenager in regards to this stuff.

Darien laughed, trying to brush off the conversation "Oh, Serena. You're so silly sometimes. I thought we were going to the mall right now?"

"Fine. But you'll have to get naked for me in the mall." She looked away and crossed her arms, still frustrated with him.

Darien thought about it. He definitely didn't want her to see him naked in the mall. Those changing rooms are not your friend.

"How about I buy you something in the mall and then you can see me naked when we go home?" He smiled, hoping that the gift would distract her enough to postpone or even cancel her demands.

"Well, there are some cute clothes I wouldn't mind looking at and I'm sure you'll be the same under there later as you are now." They smiled at each other, satisfied with the bargain they'd stricken.

Unlucky for Darien, the "cute clothes" that Serena had mentioned were bras and panties that she'd been looking at with her friends over the past week. At least, that's what she told him. Her plans were originally focussed on some skirts and blouses but the opportunity arose as they walked past the lingerie store and she thought that since she needed new undergarments and he was buying, he wouldn't mind.

Darien grew frustrated with the arrangement. How was he supposed to buy her bras and panties and not want her, right then, right there? It was bad enough he was in the store with her but she wanted him to examine the bras and panties closely on her before buying them. He didn't even know if she was intentionally torturing him or if she really needed help shopping for intimates. Of course, this part was for her amusement. After knowing about him seeing her naked and holding back for so long, she wanted to see him squirm a little.

Leaving the store with 4 bras and 4 pairs of panties, she was satisfied with the purchases and looking forward to their evening adventure. Meanwhile, Darien was anxious and tired from all of his restraint in the lingerie store. He really didn't want to show himself to her naked, especially when they wouldn't be having sex afterwards. Her birthday wasn't for another two days and he still wanted to give himself to her as a present. He knew it was silly but he wanted to make it fun and special.

'Relax Darien, relax. She'll be happy with you no matter what. Just don't lose your cool. No sex until Saturday.'

Darien's thinking continued and somehow he came up with the idea of wrapping himself with a bow and giving himself to her on Saturday. Of course, after tonight's events what will be wrapped won't be a surprise but it's the thought that counts.

Arriving at Darien's apartment, Serena skipped inside, waiting on the couch for Darien to strip.

"Say Serena, do you think you want to get naked with me?" He winked at her and she glared at him.

"No way! This is to get even for you seeing me naked. If I got naked too, then you would have seen me twice and I would only see you once. Not fair."

Darien sighed, knowing she was right and started to take off his shirt, unbuttoning slowly. His shirt wasn't a big deal; they'd gone swimming many times before and he never wears a shirt. He then started to undo the buckle of his belt, unzipping his fly and unbuttoning the pants once the belt was removed. He was really nervous by this point. Breathing in swiftly, he dropped his pants to the floor and stood before her in his underwear. He hoped this would be enough for her.

"Serena, could we please just stop here?"

Serena shook her head. "No way, I want to see all of you." She winked and blew him a kiss, giving him more confidence. By this point, she was really starting to notice how chiselled his physique was. His arms were muscular and his abs were very well defined. It was like looking at a statue.

Darien turned his back to Serena as he removed his underwear, allowing her to see his all of the muscles of his back flex and revealing his sculpted ass. She could definitely see how it had felt so good under her hands earlier.

"Serena, can this please be enough?" He pleaded with her.

"Sorry, I'm afraid not. I have to see you completely and the front of you is part of that."

She smiled to herself as he turned around to face her. Her eyes wandered over every part of him and he brushed his hand through his ebony hair as he blushed. He could see her becoming flushed and even hear her breathing become shallow. Her arousal was blatant and once he had discovered her excitement, his was too.

'Oh wow. I knew he would look good but this is ridiculous! Now I REALLY want to have sex with him.' Serena swooned but tried to keep her cool and stood up, signalling that Darien could get dressed whenever he was ready. She was turned on but she was only concerned with evening the score, not more than that at this point. She wasn't even sure if she was completely ready for more than groping.

After all he went through to keep her happy, Darien decided to tease her for a little longer. She moved to the kitchen for a glass of water, trying to hide her obvious state and he followed her there, completely naked. She thought she felt hot watching him undress, but she felt so much more turned on being close to his naked form.

"Umm… Darien, don't you think you should put your clothes back on?" she smiled, trying to keep her arousal at bay. She leaned her back against the counter and he used the tight kitchen space to tease her more, moving close to her body, with his chest nearly touching her face.

"Why? You wanted me like this so as long as you're here tonight, I think this is the way I should be." Darien grinned at her, thinking about his smart response.

Serena saw exactly what he was doing but she didn't mind feeling turned on or getting to see her hottie naked for a little longer. Instead, she decided to play her own game with him. After they had dinner (of course, Darien was still naked) she was washing the dishes. Her plan was to ask Darien for help and tease him by getting her white tank top soaked. It didn't go exactly as she had hoped. Yes, her tank top was soaked and yes, he did help her but she hadn't anticipated him coming up behind her like he did. His hands wandered over her stomach and he heard her breath catch in her throat.

Knowing how much even his touch excited her, he felt himself become aroused once again. She could feel his hard member pressing against her back, as his arms wrapped around her to scrub some more dishes and her arousal became even more apparent. Her nipples hardened under her wet shirt and everything could be seen, thanks to her white lace bra. Darien turned her to face him and brought her in for a kiss. She pushed herself against him, deepening the kiss and he noticed her nipples pressing against his chest right away. He choked a little and stepped back, seeing just how see through her shirt had become. She looked down and blushed, looking back up at Darien.

I know that the place where I stopped this chapter is a little frustrating. I hope you enjoyed the chapter despite that and I look forward to more comments and reviews from all of you. Thanks!
