Dinner had gone surprisingly well. Since it was such a small wedding and there was so much going on at the church for the holidays, the rehearsal was very quick and they had gone out to a small Italian restaurant for dinner. It was late when they got back to the house, and everyone had drifted off to their rooms for the night, in order to get some rest before the wedding the next day.

Winston and Schmidt had already gone upstairs and Bonnie, Nick, and Jess were at the bottom of the stairs. Bonnie gave them each a quick hug. "Well, you kids get to bed. I need to fix a few things on Deanna's dress, so I'll be upstairs if you need me." She smiled at both of them and climbed the stairs to her room.

Nick grabbed Jess by the waist and pulled her close. "Did I tell you how amazing you look tonight?"

Jess swatted his chest and blushed a little. "Nick!"

"Hey, I'm serious. I saw that waiter checking you out. Don't pretend you didn't notice." He smiled at her and raised his eyebrows.

"Nah, I don't really go for blondes."

"Oh, I see."

She slowly ran her hands up his shoulders and put her arms around his neck. "So, will you have to stay with the Maid of Honor tomorrow, or do I get a little Nick Miller action all to myself?"

He grimaced a little thinking of Deanna's younger sister, the Maid of Honor. "YOU will not leave my side tomorrow. I want everyone to know who my girlfriend is." All she could do was smile. What a different person he had become in the past few months. She remembered back to when it took them months to even admit there was something between them, and now, being open about their relationship seemed like the easiest thing in the world.

"Jess?"

"Hmm?"

"Whatcha thinking about?"

She smiled deviously and slowly grabbed his tie. She started to walk backwards up the stairs, tugging at him gently to follow. "I'm thinking that I'm up for a challenge."

He reached out and grabbed her waist, aggressively pulling her off the step above him and into his arms. "Oh yeah?" His voice got huskier. "What kind of challenge?"

She let out a small gasp as he tightened his grip, his hand scrunching the back of her dress. She looked mischievously into his eyes, squinting ever so slightly. Her voice had a deep, seductive tone to it. "I bet that I can drive you so crazy that Schmidt hears YOU first."

They froze for a moment, staring into each others eyes.

Nick raised his eyebrows. "I'll take that bet and raise you..." He pressed a kiss to her lips and lowered his voice to a whisper. "If I win," he nudged her neck and pressed a firm kiss right below her earlobe, "tomorrow", he ran his lips down the side of her neck "my gorgeous date", he kissed the indentation at her clavicle as she moaned softly "wears nothing", he ran his hand up the outside of her leg under her dress and pulled her against him when he reached her hips, "under here".

They both stared into each other's eyes, breathing heavily. She raised her eyebrows and held her breath as his fingers slowly traced the edge of her panties. His eyes remained fixed on hers, neither of them moving. In one swift motion, the hand across her back pulled her into his chest as the thumb under her skirt pressed deep inside of her.

Jess moaned and threw her head back, as Nick leaned forward to whisper in her ear. "Ready for this challenge, Day?"

She pressed herself against his chest, changing her position just enough to feel him go even deeper and breathlessly gasping, "Bring it Miller".
