A/N: Ok, Ok, I promise, it's not a cliff hanger chapter this time! I really wasn't sure whether they would sleep together or not, so I hope you like what I finally decided to do!
Niles eyes grew quite big at the implication of her words.
"So…you want to…have sex…with me?" he stuttered.
"No." His face fell, and she saw it and quickly continued "Not exactly."
"What? What do you mean?" confusion was evident in his voice.
"I think, no I feel…I'm not sure…and I don't know how it happened…how do I say…"
"CC, just talk to me."
"I want to…to make love to you." Had she said that right? Would he get what the difference was for her?
"Really? Do you mean what I think you're saying?"
"These past few months have shown me so many sides of you that I didn't know about. I knew when I told you about this baby that you would want to be involved, but your implication in this pregnancy goes well above your future Daddy role. I know that you care about me, you show me in so many ways, and you have been doing it for years. You've always been there, I just never let myself see it. I was too busy living in appearances, thinking I was better than you, when I was just fooling myself and being miserable all alone. I've only just started to see the wonderful man that you are Niles. I'm not saying that I've figured this all out, and that this will work just because we'll have a great sex life" she chuckled her sultry laugh knowingly " but for me, and for this little one we've created…" she took a breath, and looked right at him. "It would be easy to use your body and keep things sexual. I have no doubt that it would be a mutually satisfying arrangement. Or, I could take a chance, risk everything and give you my heart as well as my body." Her eyes never left his. It was like her decision anchored itself inside of her as she was speaking to him. She was terrified and scared, and so sure she had made the right choice.
Niles said nothing. He didn't avert his gaze, and she saw a jumble of emotions run through them.
"I'm going to have to bake a peanut butter cheesecake for Dr. Wilson."
She didn't know what she expected him to say, but that, was definitely not it. "What??"
"Given what you just told me, I'm pretty sure that it's something you've put some thought into before. However, knowing how we are with each other, and all the zingers that we throw out instead of real feelings, it could have taken a long time before we reached this level of honesty with each other. Even though the whole situation this afternoon was quite awkward, I really think he forced us to come clean. So I want to thank him, and peanut butter cheesecake is the way I do that." He smiled, and moved closer to her, cupping her face in his hands.
"I want you know that I'll gladly accept you giving me your body" his eyes roamed appreciatively over her curves " but I'll only accept your heart on one condition."
She was nervous, her heart was beating so fast, her mouth was dry "Condition?" she asked hesitantly.
"Yes. You have to take mine in exchange."
"Oh Niles!" she kissed him quickly and then wrapped her arms tightly around him, letting out the breath she didn't know she had been holding. "You've made me so happy." she told him.
"Me too!" And just then, their little one made himself known, another great big punch or kick that even Niles felt.
"Looks like our little one is happy too!" Niles said laughing.
CC stood up quickly. "I'll be right back" She rushed off to the bedroom, and returned carrying her camera. She set it on the table with the timer and rushed back to Niles' side.
"Smile" she said, which he did just as the flash went off.
She got up and reset the timer, and then sat on his lap and kissed him as the flash went off.
"Thanks Niles. I really wanted to have a concrete memory to look at,you know, to tell the baby about when his parents finally decided to tell each other how they felt."
"So, how much more film you have in there?"
"Why?"
"Did you also want to record the moment when we finally decided to show each other how we feel?" His eyebrows wagged, and he smirked at her.
"Ok, Butler Boy, but only if you know to develop the film yourself. The people at the camera shop seeing you without clothes on would surely bring people out of the woodwork looking for the Abominable Snowman!" She laughed at him.
"Only after they filed a report for a Sasquatch siting."
"Swine." she countered.
"Chicken."
She whispered in his ear, "give me 5 minutes…" and she sauntered off to the bedroom.
He watched her walk away and quickly got to his feet. He went to the kitchen and took a big swig of water, and then closed the lights. He walked to the living room and made sure the front door was locked. He left his shoes by the door, and padded over to the hallway, leaving his jacket draped over the back of the chair, and then took a deep breath and headed to CC's room.
She had lit up a bunch of candles, changed into an electric blue negligee, and draped herself across the bed waiting for him.
"My God CC, you're beautiful." he exclaimed when he saw her.
"I remembered how you had looked at this that night in Vegas. It actually got your attention for a few seconds before your thoughts returned to your wallet." she threw out.
"You noticed that?" he walked over to her and sat on the bed. "And you remembered it?" He was a bit taken a back.
"I told you Niles, I've had a heightened awareness of you since that kiss…when you came barging into my room in Vegas…well, I thought we'd finally have a chance to get rid of some of that tension."
"I was a bit more focused on gambling that night. I'm sorry that I didn't see it then…"
"Hey, no regrets. We've decided to move forward right?" She caressed his arm softly. "So why don't you take this off…and everything else…so there will be no more roadblocks."
He made quick work of his shirt and pants, toed off his socks and crawled up next to her in only his boxers.
"That working out is really paying off…you look amazing." she complimented him.
He kissed her lightly on the neck, and started nuzzling her ear. His hand slowly caressed her arm and traced the contours of her now more shapely form. Lingering a little bit on her baby bump, he then continued towards her hips and legs. CC sighed.
He moved in to capture her lips with his own, getting closer but being careful not to put any pressure on the baby. He couldn't believe how much this woman excited him. Helping her turn on her side, so he could face her, his left hand came up to cup a breast. She moaned at the contact, encouraging him to knead harder. He slid down the bed a bit and flicked the other breast with his tongue. He heard her suck in her breath, so he did it again, and again. He finally took the whole nipple in his mouth and sucked down hard.
"OH! Man!" she cried out.
"I need to feel you, see you" he insisted, and got her to sit up, so he could take the negligee off. He couldn't take his eyes off her, almost branding every curve, every swell of her into his memory forever.
"It's ok Niles, you don't have to remember it all tonight…you can look at me again whenever you want." She had to lighten the mood a bit, his intensity was a bit much for her.
"I'll remember you said that, wench" And he gently pushed her back on the pillows and proceeded to ravage every inch of her. He teased her, bringing her to the edge and back, before finally using his tongue to send her careening over the top.
She was breathing quite hard, and he was concerned all of a sudden that he might have gone too far
"Are you ok? Are you experiencing cramps? Does it hurt?"
"Hurt? Hurt? Oh Niles, it felt so GOO-OOD! I've never come like before, never as intense, and …" she turned and kissed him, grabbing his butt with one hand the waistband of his boxers with the other. "Take these off…now" she growled at him. He barely had complied, when she pushed him on his back and lowered herself onto him.
"Ungh…" he exhaled, immediately grabbing her hips and thrusting up to meet her. She met him with as much passion, they could barely contain themselves.
"The baby…?" Niles asked.
"Fine" she hissed.
"are… you… ok? Does it…hurt?" he asked again, trying very hard to concentrate at putting words together.
She stopped moving all at once. He was really worried now. She put her hands on his chest and looked him directly in the eyes.
"Niles. Nothing has ever felt this good. Ever... I promise if I feel anything other than amazing, I'll tell you right away, ok? Now shut up and f***," and he claimed her lips in a searing kiss. It didn't take long for the heat to overtake them, her orgasm causing his.
"that was way better than any dream I've had…and believe me, I've had plenty!" she confessed to him as she snuggled up against his chest.
"Really? I'd love to hear them…you know…to make sure that this was really better." He grinned at her as she hit him lightly.
"Are you truly alright, Love? I didn't hurt you?" he asked her softly.
"No, you didn't hurt me…I told you it was gre…what did you just say?" she pulled up a bit to look at him.
"I asked you if I hurt you? But you answered that…what's wrong?"
"You called me…Love…"
"Oh…I'm sorry…it kind of slipped out….did I … offend you?" This was still so new to him, how was she going to react to that.
"No, you idiot…you didn't offend me…it was…nice…say it again"
"Love."
"God you're infuriating. I mean…say it like before…say something to me."
"Ok, OK." he disentangled himself from under her and padded over to the bathroom. She heard water running, and then he came back. She was looking at him with a very confused look.
"What's the matter, Love? I thought you could use a cloth to freshen up." He pushed her back a bit. "Here, let me, Love." He took the warm wash cloth and traced it around her breasts, her stomach, to the inside of her thighs. He couldn't help himself and traced the same path with butterfly kisses, accenting every one with the words "CC, my love" whispered off his lips.
