Ray could not speak, he was solely focused on Isabel and was scanning her body up and down as she stood nervous in front of him. He could not take his eyes off her.

"So…I'm gonna go put some clothes on," Isabel said as she quickly made a beeline to her bedroom a little too quickly leaving Ray in the living room. As soon as the door shut Isabel slid down the door and let out a breath she was holding. "Dear god….not making this easy for me are you…" she then took her hair out of the towel "He saw naked…oh my god I am going to die….naked…..what ever happened to knocking in the day in age…then again its Ray and he has a key so he comes whenever he wants….uuugg…so not eat now," and stood up and picked her clothes that she threw in the room and got dressed.

Once Isabel was finished she walked out of the bedroom and saw Ray in her kitchen pulling stuff out of the freezer and into pans on the stove.

"What ya doing Ray?" she said walking over to her kitchen.

"Making some food, I doubt you had anything to eat," Ray said "Nice ass by the way….."

"Ray!" Isabel said and hit his arm causing him to laugh. "And for you information, Roger made me French Toast a little while ago."

"Speaking of which, when did you start stripping Izzy," Ray asked as he took the frozen chicken and put it in the pan and gave her a side glance.

"I don't know a couple of months ago, I guess," Isabel said with a shrug as she sat at her island and rested her head on her hands. "Mac needed an extra dancer and I thought why not. I have a get up so people won't know it's me and, since I have no tattoos it makes it harder to ID me."

"What's the reason really Izzy?" Ray said as he closed the pan and turned on the oven after putting in some garlic teriyaki sauce with the chicken that Isabel had bottles of since she was addicted to the stuff.

"You know me baby," Isabel said with a smile "I like running around naked, might as well get paid for it."

"You never do it when I'm around," Ray said with a smile and Isabel threw a napkin at him "oo was that supposed to hurt?"

"Don't make me hurt you Ray, even though your cooking me food," Isabel said laughed as she went to get out of the barstool and got dizzy all of a sudden and gripped the counter as Ray was fast in front of her.

"Take it easy Izzy," Ray said as he held on to her arms.

"I'm fine really, just got dizzy," Isabel said as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Jesus, Izzy I told you take it easy," Ray said as she scooped her up in his arms with her protest and walked to her living room.

Isabel was trying to ignore the fact that Ray's hands here on her bare legs since she was wearing shorts and a tank top. Ray placed her on the couch and leaned down close to her face.

"Stay on this couch, you move I will tie you down," Ray said as he looked into Isabel's eyes.

"Is that a promise?" Isabel asked with a grin, Ray just chuckled and walked back towards the kitchen, and she let out a yawn.

"Take a nap, I will wake you when it's done Izzy," Ray said as she saw Isabel yawn.

"So bossy," Isabel said as she turned so she faced the back of the couch and closed her eyes "I'm not that tired."

"I bet," Ray said as she looked and could see she was losing the battle with staying awake. "One of these days you are going to listen to me."

After about an hour of cooking a variety of food for Isabel, Ray turned off the food, walked towards the living room, and saw Isabel was still out like a light. He knew she had over worked herself when she woke up, it would not be Isabel if she didn't. Ray took a moment and looked at lsabel on the couch, really looked at her. She had moved in her sleep so now her back was towards the couch and she had a leg hanging off the couch. Her shorts had rode up and showed the cotton underwear she had on. Isabel was more for comfort than sexy, her tank top had dropped down a little and Ray noticed that she had forgot to put a bra on so she was about to spill out of her top as she slept. He had never saw Isabel naked before till he walked into her apartment. When he helped her bathe he was focused on keeping her awake then look at her body. He would only admit to himself he soaked in her body before she hurried off to her bedroom to dress.

He should have been ashamed of himself for looking at Isabel like that, as something more than a friend. He was married, he had kids. He didn't give a damn at the moment, he never realized how beautiful Isabel was, sure she was taller and had a little more meat on her but she was beautiful. He didn't know what drove him put he put a hand on Isabel leg and ran it up to the bottom of her shirt. He could feel a little stubble from her probably shaving 2 days ago, rough and smooth all at the same time. Ray could feel Isabel shift underneath his hand so she was lying back on the couch. He looked down at Isabel and saw she had started to wake up.

"Ray," Isabel said sleep still in her voice.

"I'm sorry Izzy," Ray said and she gave him a funny look.

"For what?" Isabel said more awake when she saw a worried look on Ray.

"This," Ray said as he got on the couch above Isabel and leaned down and kissed her.

Isabel let out a gasp and Ray took advantage of it. Ray was about to pull back when he felt Isabel's hands make their way around his shoulder pulling him closer. Ray then moved Isabel's legs, wrapped them around his waist, and pressed against her as he pulled back for a breath before looking at Isabel kissed her again.

Isabel had no idea what was going on. Frist she thought she was dreaming that Ray was kissing her like this. She knew she should feel bad, ashamed even, but she did not. It was a rush, like a forbidden fruit. It tasted so sweet because she wasn't meant to have it.

Ray did not know what overcame him. Nevertheless, he had to kiss her, he had to feel her. He just needed to touch her. Seeing her bare in front of him before had stirred up something, he didn't think of, and now that he did, he wanted it. No, he needed it.

Ring. Ring.

"Ray," Isabel said as she let out a gasp as Ray kissed behind her eat causing her to arch up "Phone," she breathless said as she felt Ray's hand go underneath her tank top and start to massage her breast.

"Fuck the phone," Ray said as he trailed kisses down her neck and kissed the top of her breast as his phone kept ringing like it was possessed. "This better be fucking good," he then pulled the phone out of his pocket but didn't removed on his hands from Isabel's breast. "What…..seriously?...I thought you were going to take care of that…." Ray had kept up playing with Isabel's breast, he kept pinching and rolling her nipples before moving to the other breast. He had a smirk on his face as he saw her biting her hand to keep from moaning "..You are fucking kidding me right now….fine I will be right there." He then closed the phone and looked at Isabel. "Abby has a problem and I have to go."

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped on Isabel and she looked at Ray and smile and nodded, as she didn't let the regret show on her face. Ray removed his hand from Isabel, got off the couch after untangling her legs from him, and helped her off the couch.

"Izzy.." Ray started but stopped by Isabel putting a finger on his lips.

"Go fix what you need to fix Ray," Isabel said with a soft smile.

Ray looked at Isabel for a moment before he went and gave her a soft kiss on the lips and disappeared out the door.

"Oh I am officially fucked now," Isabel said as she headed towards the kitchen and saw the food was still hot and saw it was all her favorite "Asshole….making me my favorite stuff…uuugggghhh so far up shit creek without a paddle." A knock on her door caused Isabel to put her food down on the island as she walked to the door, opened it, and saw Ray there. "Ray….what are you doi.." she didn't get a chance to finish as Ray grabbed her face and planted a passionate kiss on her.

"I am not finished with you Izzy," Ray said as he looked at Isabel breathless and looking confused. "I will be back later." He then kissed her again and left closing the door behind him.

"….Royal fucked," Isabel said as she stood starring at her door and walked to the island where her food was and picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Mac….I need to talk to you."

It was past midnight before Isabel had gotten into bed after taking some more pain pills. Her body ached in more way than one now. Ray caused half of the ache and she kept replaying her conversation with Mac in her head. She would figure it out in the morning, so just when she was about to be completely lost in the darkness she heard footsteps coming towards her bed. She shifted before she heard someone pull back the covers.

"Shh Izzy it's just me go back to sleep," Ray whispered to her as she saw her body slowly turn to face him in her bed.

"Ray?" Isabel slurred and felt a hand on her face as she eyes closed again.

"Yea, go back to sleep Izzy," Ray whispered.

"Bossy," Isabel said as she turned back so her back was to Ray as she heard him chuckle.

Isabel briefly left Ray's naked chest against her back before the darkness took her. Ray had pulled Izzy closer to him as he took a deep breath and smelt Isabel's favorite lavender vanilla shampoo. He couldn't believe what Abby had did to him. He was furious when he got home and could not spend one more moment in the house. Ray could only think of returning to Isabel's', her place had always been a safe haven for him. Now the only thing Ray had to do was sort the feeling he had for his longtime friend. Ray knew Isabel would be surprised with what he had to tell her in the morning, he was unsure of how she would feel about it. Ray was brought out of his thought when he felt Isabel shift so she was now facing him and her leg went over his hip and he could see her breasts were threatening to once again fall out of her top.

"This is going to be a long night," Ray mumbled to himself before he pulled Isabel closer so she was pressed completely against him.
