John climbed out of his car after parking beside Joss's at Mr. Leiken's mansion. It was almost the same time he arrived last night and he wondered if Joss arrived early all the time. But this time her door popped open and she exited her car as he did. She was wearing her long black jacket so he had no idea what she was wearing underneath but her hair was down without any curls. He wished he told her how much he enjoyed her curls last night, wishing to see more of them on her.

"Hi John." she had a pretty smile on her face. "This day has been the best. The threat to Veronica is gone, I got to punch her breaking her nose in the process, and finally our date."

"Carter before we go in there, I think we need to talk."

"About?"

"About expectations."

"What expectations?"

"I don't know how much I can offer you." He paused when she just stared at him. "I'm attracted to you Joss but I'm not sure if I can be enough for you."

"John, I have an idea. How about we just enjoy tonight? We'll figure everything else out as we go." He nodded his head. He was trying to warn her that he wasn't a catch, that he wasn't sure if he knew how to open himself up again. But he liked her idea of just enjoying tonight and to figure everything out later.

"Deal." he reached out to shake on it. She smiled up at him taking his hand. They just stood holding hands staring at each other. Her warmth spreading upwards from his hand up his arm and down his body zeroing in on a part of his body that would rather speed things up a bit.

"Deal." she repeated.

"Deal." he cringed inwardly realizing he already said it once before.

"Oh for the love of god, just kiss her already." They both jumped away from each other when a loud deep baritone voice filled with humor filled the night air. John whirled around seeing Mr. Leiken approaching them.

"Mr. Leiken."

"Ms. Bennett how is the head?"

"Better." he nodded, as happy to hear it as was John.

"Mr. Wiley and Ms. Bennett you both are smitten with one another."

"Smitten?" John wanted to laugh. No one had ever used that word in conjunction with him before.

"Yes smitten, though I can't say I blame you; Ms. Bennett here is lovely."

"Thank you Mr. Leiken."

"Both of you, call me Henry. But please enjoy my little surprise for you both."

"As I stated last night, it's really not necessary."

"And I told you last night, Mr. Wiley, I really want to give you something for saving my life. Ms. Morgan and I both feel that you two are perfect for one another and if I can help you find your true love than I feel like we saved each other." Wait! This guy was trying to set Joss and him up too?

"I thought you wanted to just set us up on dinner to thank me?"

"Yes, yes that was the plan, but Ms. Morgan filled me in on a lot about the both of you which is why I set up the little surprise last night for the two of you."

"But I'm not looking for love and neither is Jocelyn." he motioned to her. He didn't want Joss to feel forced and she just eyed him a little without saying anything.

"Oh boy, Ms. Bennett, you have your work cut out for you, but I'm sure you'll get him to see the light. Dave, my driver is awaiting you already." He smiled at them. "Go on now, have some fun, and please John, keep an open mind." John felt Joss wrap her arms around his, tugging him gently towards the limo that was waiting for them where the driver stood by the back door opening it for them.

"Welcome back Ms. Bennett and Mr. Wiley; you are about to enjoy your surprise you would have had last night. But with an added bonus."

"Added bonus?" John stopped, but Joss entered the limo tugging on his hand. He sat down and the middle aged man shut the door and he eyed Joss. "You're taking this awfully well."

"Well, I get another date out of you, paid for by a millionaire, so who knows what he has us doing tonight."

"Look Carter, about what Mr. Leiken said about falling in love with each other-" she smiled placing a finger to his lips.

"I know John, but he doesn't. Let's just enjoy tonight and spend time together without the pretense of being just friends in the way. We both know we are attracted to each other and we'll take it from there." John leaned back feeling more at ease this time around than yesterday.

"So Carter, what do you think he has up his sleeve for us tonight?"

"Maybe dinner again. Hopefully one where Beecher won't show up or some upset woman won't bean me in the head again."

"Yeah, no more concussions for you."

"I didn't have one last night either."

"You sure played it up like you did."

"Well I wanted another date with you, John."

"Why didn't you ask?"

"Oh so you like aggressive women, huh?" she looked up at him and he shook his head.

"Oh no I don't. I have had enough of aggressive women, I'd much rather be the one to ask you out."

"Would you have?"

"What?"

"Asked me out, John?"

"If I knew you wanted me too, maybe, even if I shouldn't."

"Well I want you too." John looked at her seeing how hopeful she was and he couldn't deny her anything.

"Okay Joss, will you go out with me?" she grinned.

"Do you even need to ask? Yes, yes, yes, a million times yes." John leaned down brushing his lips against hers. He sighed when she quickly kissed him back sliding one hand into his hair. John cupped her jaw as he teased her lips with his tongue till she gently slid them open to allow him entrance. John moaned softly at how intoxicating she was. He slowly explored her mouth while she tried to burrow closer to him. When the need to breathe made itself known, he ended the kiss just to sprinkle light ones across her face. "If someone told me I'd be making out with you in a limo a month ago I'd say they were nuts," she whispered in his ear as she leaned her head to the side as he nuzzled his nose against her neck.

"Mmmm." He had to agree with her. He hadn't thought she could ever share his attraction. John's eyes shut quickly when he felt her mouth at his neck. "Giving me another hickey I can't hide?" He breathed as he felt her gently kissing his neck. He could feel her smile.

"If you want, you could even us up." John pulled back a little. He slid his hand into her hair, and smiled.

"Your wish is my command." he winked at her before he kissed her lightly on the lips and settled his mouth at her neck gently sucking at first.

"Oh really? I have to remember that for later." She gasped as her body clamored to get closer to his as he sucked harder and harder at her neck. He could hear the rough rasp of her breath as she gently held his head in her hands. He nipped earning a shudder from her. She pushed on his shoulders and he sat back eyeing the already reddening mark on her neck even in the dim light of the limo. But he didn't have too long to enjoy his branding of her because she was practically in his lap her mouth on his again. John moaned as he pulled her more fully on top of him, kissing her back with equal fervor.

"Joss stop, we can't have sex in this limo." he panted when she broke the kiss, grinding into him. He grabbed her hips to still her movements as he was hardening at a quick pace. He had no idea when they would arrive at wherever the hell they were going, and he didn't really care for being interrupted with Joss again.

"No?" she pouted and he laughed leaning his head against the seat.

"No. Do you want to be interrupted again?"

"Good point. Let's just tell this guy to turn around and take us back to the mansion so we can head back to my place."

"Is this what you want, Joss?"

"Yes John, do you seriously need to ask that? I want you so badly." she rotated her hips, and John gripped her hips harder to stop the movement. "You can't tell me you don't want me John, I can feel how much you do pressing against me right now." she sighed leaning into him to kiss him briefly again.

"I want you Joss," he moaned and pulled her head down for a kiss. John lost himself as he plundered her mouth with his. He demanded more from her, deepening the kiss. John didn't know how long they were kissing, but the sound of a clearing of a throat broke them apart. John blinked as he breathed rapidly looking up to the open door of the limo where the driver stood.

"Excuse me sir; sorry to interrupt, but we arrived." John watched as Joss struggled to look poised as she fixed her hair and scrambled off his lap. She exited the limo looking anywhere but at the driver. John slowly climbed out, shifting a little trying desperately to hide his hard on. "Sir, you might want to wipe your mouth." the driver pointed as he shut the door. He rubbed a hand across his lips and grabbed Joss's hand with his other, tugging her towards him. John looked around and stared.

"A helicopter?"

"Mr. Leiken's personal helicopter, sir. He thought you two would enjoy a moonlit ride overseeing the city."

"Sounds beautiful and romantic." Joss sighed. John shrugged his shoulders but it seemed Joss was happy with the idea. They walked towards the black helicopter and after several minutes they were going up into the air. John had to agree as they were taken around the city that it was beautiful at night. He had never really enjoyed flying since usually he did it to escape gunfire or something else equally dangerous. It was nice to sit back and enjoy something like this, where he didn't have to worry about being shot at. He didn't know how long they were up in the air for but when they landed it had been a very enjoyable ride. He jumped down and grabbed Joss by the hips to help her down. "That was so fun I haven't been in a helicopter in a while."

"Neither have I."

"Oh John, it's so beautiful at night with all the lights."

"Yes." he slung an arm on her shoulders and she wrapped hers around his waist.

"Now that's over with I can't help but want to pick up where we left off in the limo." she grinned up at him.

"Me too." They finally made their way to the limo where the driver was standing waiting for them.

"Did you enjoy yourselves on the helicopter ride?"

"It was a wonderful surprise! Please thank Mr. Leiken for us."

"He will be very pleased that you two enjoyed his surprise, but he has another added bonus for you two as well." this was the second time a bonus was mentioned.

"What bonus?"

"Mr. Leiken was saddened to learn that Ms. Bennett hadn't had as great of time since she had been injured on the date he set up for you two. So Mr. Leiken had decided that after the moonlit ride he was going to treat you both to a second date."

"That's really not necessary." John said. He could take Joss out himself, but somewhere where they could be themselves instead of pretending to be people they weren't.

"Oh hush Mr. Wiley, what does he have in mind?" Carter asked mischievously.

"You'll see." he motioned for them to climb inside the limo.

"So ominous." Joss chuckled climbing in and John wished the man would just say where they were going. He'd much rather know what was going on than not know.

"But be forewarned, if you two feel the urge to uhm…uhh…copulate it's not that far of a drive so you might want to make it quick." John gasped as if he sucker punched feeling very winded. He climbed inside and the man shut the door behind him.

"Yeah John, we need to make it a quickie." her light laughter turned uncontrollable when he just glared at her.

"Joss when we are together I can assure you I will not be quick," he responded triumphantly. Her laughter ceased immediately and was replaced by a lusty gleam in her eyes.

"I like the sound of that. When this date is over you can come by my place, Taylor is going to stay over at a friend's house tonight." she moved close to him.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah we'll have free reign."

"I like the sound of that." he grinned, using her words. John pulled back from her when he felt the limo pull up to a stop. Hmmmm the driver wasn't kidding it was a rather short drive. John opened the door, and climbed out before helping Joss. They turned and eyed the gigantic building they were parked in front of.

"Here?" John looked at the driver who smiled at them. John looked back at the Hilton hotel they just stood in front of.

"Yes, and it's reserved under 'Leiken,' you'll have the entire top floor to yourself for the entire night."

"The entire top floor!" Joss's face showed how stunned he felt.

"Mr. Leiken didn't need to go to such trouble."

"The moonlit ride was your surprise, but when Mr. Leiken learned of what happened to Ms. Bennett he was upset. Which is why he felt the need to make sure you two had a more enjoyable evening together tonight, and alone as an added bonus to his surprise. He didn't want to presume anything to happen between the two of you so he rented out the entire top floor. Enjoy the rest of your night Mr. Wiley and Ms. Bennett. I bid you both farewell." he waved and walked around to the driver's side of the car. John turned to Joss and offered his arm to her. She gladly took it and they walked towards the entrance of the grand hotel. Together they walked to the concierge who smiled at them. "We have a room under the reservation of Leiken."

"Oh yes, yes, he just called to let us know you were on your way Mr. Wiley. Please allow Mr. Henderson to escort you both to your room." he motioned to a well dressed bellhop. They followed the bellhop into the elevator and he felt Joss jump when he lightly grabbed her ass. She turned to him, mouthed to 'stop,' and he smiled innocently at her. They exited the elevator and she smacked his ass hard and loud. He glared at her when the bellhop turned to look at them. She snorted with laughter when the bellhop turned to look forward once more. The man opened the door for them before handing him a key and they entered.

"When you are ready to order from room service just call the front desk." they both nodded but didn't turn to look away from the room. Candles were lit everywhere and rose pedals were covering the floor. Champagne was already on ice and they even had a balcony that overlooked the beautiful city.

"Wow John this is a spectacular view."

"I'll say." he grinned wolfishly as he eyed her from behind as she looked out over the city from the balcony. She whirled around with a smile.

"Like what you see?" she cocked a brow.

"Yes." he shed his own jacket as she did hers. She was wearing a black dress that was simple and elegant on her. He skimmed his gaze down her body enjoying the fact that this dress, much like her blue one from the night before, was clingy, giving him a nice view of her gorgeous body. "You are so beautiful, Joss."

"Thank you, John." she grinned flinging her small clutch purse onto a nearby sofa chair. The impeccably made large king sized bed was the elephant in the room, both their eyes strayed to it.

"Dinner." he cleared his throat turning away from her feeling nervous.

"Yeah, dinner then dessert. Mmmmmmm."
