A/N: Niles and CC are seeing each other very regularly, and are still keeping their relationship a secret. A quick morning hello turns to something more...
"Hello, Hello" CC chimed as she entered the mansion. No one answered. Now that's strange, she thought. She headed to the kitchen first, as she had for the past few weeks, before going to the office. She needed her morning fix, and usually enjoyed a coffee as well.
As she came through the swinging door she stopped dead in her tracks. Niles was taking something out of the oven. However delicious whatever he was making would be, it didn't beat the scrumptious view she had of his rear in that position. She glanced around the room quickly to see if there were any other people to mind for, and seeing the coast was clear, let out an appreciative "My, that looks good".
"I should hope so." Niles answered, a smile forming on his lips as he recognized and turned towards the voice behind him. "This upside down cake takes some skill to put together".
"I wasn't talking about the cake" she replied in a sultry voice, heading towards him.
"What were you…Oh…me?" he added, a bit surprised, a bit embarrassed and very happy.
"Yep"
He quickly put the cake on the rack on the stove and scooped CC up in his arms for a heated kiss.
"So I look good to you, hmm?" Niles smirked. "Guess you're not too bored with this old butler then?"
"Never. You?"
"Well, you're not a boring old butler, but you've got the boring and old parts down, so that'll do."
She hit him playfully on the arm, pretending to be mad, but it didn't last very long. He had stayed over last night, but had been gone when she awoke and she had been thinking of nothing but his embrace the whole way over. She leaned her head on his shoulder and hugged him tighter.
"You ok?" he asked softly, enjoying the cuddle as much as she did.
"Now I am."
They stayed that way a few minutes and then started swaying to the music playing on the radio that Niles had been listening to. He reached over and turned it up a bit, but he didn't really pay attention to what was playing.
He kissed her neck. She moaned.
She nibbled at his ear. He growled.
He kissed her fiercely and pulled her head towards him.
She rotated her hips a bit to show him how much she was enjoying herself and felt just how much he was too.
They were so engrossed and enflamed by the passion that when Nile's grabbed her arm and pushed her down to crouch on the kitchen floor in between the oven and the counter, she had no idea what was going on and started protesting "What the …" but he just put his hand over her mouth and prayed she would be quiet.
"I tell you Maxwell, I've had to go out to the store three times this week just to buy chocolate syrup…and Ma hasn't even been here!"
"I know Fran, I know. But I can't discuss it with him, I can't. Just imagining him with those toppings in his hand and him saying "I've got something in my room" gives me the chills".
Both Niles and CC's eyes got big as they listened to their two best friends discuss just how much they knew about their relationship.
"Yes well, think about how I feel?" Fran whined, as she reached into the fridge for some ice cream. "My best friend is finally getting some and he's not sharing with me!" Max looked at her with a shocked look. She looked back at him "Wh-at?" Max raised his eyebrow. "Not THAT! I mean he's not sharing _the details_. What you're thinking is … well …"
"A fantasy of mine?" Maxwell said softly.
Both Niles and CC were startled by that. Niles felt jealousy rise immediately and CC was flattered, but they both stayed where they were to not give themselves away.
"Fantasy? Me, and…and… Miss Babcock?" Fran was completely stunned. She almost dropped the ice-cream…almost.
"I just meant you and another woman…I hadn't really thought about you and CC, but now that you bring it up." He gave her a sultry smile and moved in closer to her.
"I brought it up?"
"I'm just kidding Fran. Although I must admit, now that I think about it," Maxwell put on a dreamy look and pretended to be fantasizing "I definitely don't mind thinking about you and CC together instead of her and Niles…" he did a little shake of his shoulders, the thought giving him the creeps.
"Let's just change the subject Mister. I'm already in a threesome" she deadpanned, pointing to her belly " and that's enough for me!" She brought a spoonful of ice-cream to her mouth and savored it.
Max looked at her with puppy dog eyes "What about me?"
"You?" she fed him a spoonful of ice-cream. She gasped a little as his tongue darted out to catch a little dribble of the sweet confection on the corner of his mouth. "You…could convince me to try a foursome." She kissed the spot where the ice-cream had been.
Max kissed her back. "Oh Fran. Have I told you today how beautiful you are?" He wrapped his arms around her and pushed her back against the kitchen counter.
Niles and CC started feeling a bit uncomfortable as the sounds of love coming from the other side of the island started to get more and more passionate. However, there was no way to get out of there without getting caught, and that would lead to much more embarrassing situation.
CC wondered why Niles had pulled her down, instead of just pretending like they had been talking in the kitchen like usual. Her legs were getting cramped up and she was not all that happy about having heard what she had heard between Max and Nanny Fine. She didn't how they would be able to get out of there before things got even more uncomfortable for all of them.
Niles was actually having mixed feelings about the whole situation. He hadn't liked eavesdropping on the conversation between Mr and Mrs. Sheffield (yes, out of character, it actually surprised him) but when they had started joking about CC and Mrs. Sheffield, well, the idea had taken root and he had found that, like Max, the idea had its allure. That, and given what he had just been doing before they walked in moments ago, did little to douse the flame for him. Now how was he going to get him and CC out of this so he could get into something else?
"Oh Max" Fran moaned. "Let's take this upstairs and make this foursome official!"
Max did not need to be asked twice. He easily picked up his wife and headed up to their room. Niles shuffled CC around the corner of the island at the same time as Max got to the stairs. Only when they heard the bedroom door shut upstairs did they stand up and look at each other.
"Well" CC said, "that was … "
"Interesting? "
"Uncomfortable was more the word I was looking for."
"Really? I was sure I heard you gasp when Max was talking about his fantasy."
"You wish! Don't hold your breath, Butler Boy, Maxwell may be into Nanny Fine, but I'm not."
"Well, I must say that the idea does have a certain appeal. Even if it is just a fantasy.." He gave her a smoldering look.
The whole thing was plain silly to her. She pictured it for a brief second, and burst out laughing.
"What is it?" Niles asked
"I just thought, I mean, how would that work? The four of us up in Max's room, you and him with cigars in hand watching me and Nanny Fine go at it?" She laughed louder.
"That is pretty funny." Niles joined in the laughter. "But actually, I had envisioned the jacuzzi as the setting…and Max was definitely not in the picture." He grabbed her by the waist and pulled her close. She stopped laughing, but couldn't keep the smile off her face at her earlier thought.
"So, you've thought of this before? Or did you seriously just come up with that?"
"Well, I only put Fran's face on the other woman when Max brought it up, but yes, I have had fantasies of you and me and another lady before."
"You have, have you?" She looked deep into his eyes. "Well, I'm not saying yes right now…and I won't say no outright…but maybe someday…after I've had my fill…" she punctuated that with a very passionate kiss "we can talk about the possibility." He couldn't hide the smile that that thought created. " But definitely not Fran… I have a penchant for reddish-blondes" she smirked, he gasped, and they raced upstairs before another interruption kept them from each other.
