Fiona lightly moaned as Adam nibbled on her bottom lip. She was sitting on the edge of her desk. Adam was standing, with his body pressed closely against hers. His hands were at her waist and she ran hers through his hair as they shared a series of deep, passionate kisses.

When they came up for air he softly laughed. "Now I don't want to leave!"

The plan for tonight was to hang out at her place. Both of her parents were slated to be home.

Fiona caressed his cheek. "Me neither," she admitted. Adam leaned in and kissed her again.

"I could do that all night," he grinned. He had no idea how much time had passed, but it was easily more than a half hour.

Fiona giggled. "Not sure if I'll be able to concentrate on work tomorrow," she remarked. She knew it was going to take a concerted effort to expunge thoughts of this from her mind!

"Is that so?" he asked with a lopsided grin. He reached for her hand and helped her off the desk. "Let's get your workspace back in working order," he suggested in a light tone. He returned a pile of files that had been moved aside back to their rightful place.

"You don't have to do that," she protested.

"I know," he assured her. "I don't mind helping."

It only took them a couple of minutes to get everything back the way it was.

Fiona looked around. "I guess we're ready to go." She turned to Adam and saw that he held a mahogany picture frame his hands. She snaked an arm around his waist. He smiled at her and placed his arm around her shoulders.

"I can't believe you have this picture," he said softly. He was elated that she did. It was so long ago, but he could remember exactly how he felt when the photo was taken. He had been lost in her eyes, completely awash in the love he felt for her as the two of them danced.

Fiona leaned her head on his shoulder. "I love looking at it every day," she told him.

Adam brought his eyes back to hers. "I love you." They were three simple words, but they described what he felt for her with all of his being.

Fiona savored this moment. Her heart was filled with so much emotion, she felt like she could burst. "I love you, too."

Several minutes, and a short round of kissing later, they finally left.

Fiona smiled at Adam as they walked towards the kitchen. She planned to hang out with him in her room, but she thought it prudent to say hello to her parents. She knew her dad wasn't home yet, but her mother was.

She was happy that Adam didn't seem nervous this time around. He smiled back at her and winked, which caused her to laugh. When they turned the corner the kitchen came into view. Her mother was sitting at the table reading a book.

"Hey mom," Fiona said brightly as she walked into the kitchen.

"Hi Mrs. Coyne," Adam said politely.

The older woman looked up. She noticed that the young couple were holding hands. "Hi Fifi. Adam," she greeted them. "How was your day?"

"Busy!" Fiona replied. She wanted to get things wrapped up before Friday so that she could spend the weekend relatively carefree.

Mrs. Coyne nodded with understanding. "And you Adam?"

He shrugged. "The morning was kind of hectic, but overall it was pretty good."

"That's good to hear," she responded.

"How did the charity event go?" Fiona asked her mother.

Mrs. Coyne smirked. "The luncheon for the Children's Hunger Awareness Foundation went well. Our silent auction raised a good amount of capital for this quarter."

Adam nodded. "Awesome," he stated in a rather upbeat tone. He felt a little out of place with the conversation.

Fiona glanced at her mother and held in a laugh at her muted expression.

"Awesome, indeed," Mrs. Coyne agreed diplomatically.

-oOo-

"Oh, it wasn't that bad!" Fiona laughed as they walked down the hall.

Adam looked at her unconvinced. Making small talk with Mrs. Coyne had been an experience. "Why did I say awesome?" he lamented.

She shook her head and opened the door to her suite. Adam followed her inside. He had gotten a quick tour on Saturday, but once again he was struck at how incredible the space was! It was certainly bigger than the tiny apartment he and Gregory shared. Compared to Toronto – and nearly everywhere else! – they paid an insane amount for their two bedroom apartment on the Upper West Side. He didn't even want to think about how much a place like hers would cost!

Fiona reached for his hand. Adam smiled and laced his fingers through hers. He ran his thumb over the back of her hand, enjoying the feel of her soft skin.

"Thanks for having me over," he said, looking into her eyes.

They both moved towards each other, and shared a gentle yet powerful kiss.

Fiona sighed happily as they pulled away, and leisurely ran her hand down his chest. "Thanks for coming," she said sincerely.

Adam smirked. "Well, I haven't yet but I'm looking forward to it!" he declared suggestively.

She snorted and lightly swatted his arm. "Ah, that's the Adam I know!" she teased him.

He laughed and pulled her closer. "I try," he joked. He leaned in and brought his lips back to hers.

A few minutes later she led the way to her bedroom. "Notice anything different?"

Adam softly laughed. "Well, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're not trying to seduce me," he quipped before glancing around the room. "Hey, I'm you're wall!" he noted.

She giggled at his giddy expression.

"Some of these are old, but others are pretty recent," he commented as he got a closer look. "Hey, I recognized some of these from FaceRange!" He looked back at her and grinned.

She shrugged. She may have lifted some of them from his albums…

Adam grabbed her hand. "I love it," he told her. "We've got to take more pictures!"

She nodded in agreement. The two of them leaned in, and shared another kiss. It quickly grew in intensity.

A/N: Looks like she wasn't joking! Lots of Fadam kisses, lol! Hmm, things are still a little frosty with Mrs. Coyne but both parties seem to be making an effort. And ah, they're in Fi's suite. Wonder what they will do in there…

Don't be shy! Review :D

In the next chapter, the night takes a completely unexpected turn!
