Enjoy!

I could hardly breathe, let alone control myself when he kissed me, so the only option I had was to run away. I lead the way to the counter and got us more alcohol. Yes, I said he needed it, but really, if someone did need it, then it was me. My heart was beating much too fast and I needed something to distract me.

Marco's broad smirk was not necessarily helping. I dropped onto one of the barstools and got myself Vodka. When Law didn't order anything I gave him a confused look but he didn't really react. One of his long fingers traced absent-mindedly over his lips and I felt the urge to kiss him again.

Gripping my glass a little tighter I managed to behave myself. I had to be so fucking careful with this boy. I would never have believed that he would make any move on his own accord, let alone after what happened earlier this week.

I could see the doubt and confusion on Law's face change to something much more concearning: resolution. Taking a sip of my Vodka I wasn't exactly sure if I wanted this to be a good or a bad decision, cause if it was a bad one it would be over. It would hurt like fucking hell, but I would know what the state of affairs would be. If he was deciding to try some more things… Well, God may help my self control then, please.

The dark haired man turned to face me, not so sure of himself anymore, he avoided my eyes. "Let's go… I'm tired of these people staring at us." Surprised I looked around to find that he was right. A crowd of girls had gathered at the end of the counter and was giggling, pointing at us. Some more mature people were talking about us from the distance, still obvious enough to be noticed. I hadn't even seen them. Givning Law a nod I emptied my glass and got up.

In front of the club we faced the obvious issue of the 'what now'? We could go for another club, but the only ones close by were the 'Kaido's' and a bar led by a dodgy man called Teach. Both places were rough terrain and I wasn't particularly eager to run into trouble tonight. I felt Law's slender hand on my arm and looked at him.

"You don't look like you're up for 'Kaido's'." I shook my head. Was he reading my thoughts? He smirked and started walking. It took my a few seconds before I realized that he headed for my place. I raised an eyebrow at him when he turned to look at me. "I'll walk you home. Come on!"

Flabergasted I followed him with hurried steps to catch up. It was a cold night and it took only a few minutes before Law started shivering. Sighing I slipped from my coat and dropped it over his shoulders. Surprised he looked up at me. "I'll be ok, don't worry." I was freezing withing no time but oh well…

When we arrived at my place I looked at him. "Look… I know you'll freeze to death if you don't have my coat and as I won't leave it with you…" The smirk on his face was technically answer enough. "You're bed is quite comfy, so.." And he followed me up the stairs and into my apartement.

Different from last time, I was sober enough to realize that I was actually taking the hottest man around with me to my place. Wishing I didn't have to sleep on the sofa this time I grabbed my additional blanket and moved over to the living room.

Law was still standing in the door frame. I smiled. "What's up?" He shrugged. I would have loved to drag him over to the sofa and just cuddled him. But I behaved and waited for his answer. He wouldn't get away with shrugging this time.

Avoiding my eyes he walked over to my sofa. Dear god, give me strenght… "I'm no freaking girl and god help me I won't behave like one! Besides, this is your place and your bed." He stopped to take a deep breath, shaking a little. I was actually surprised. Yes, he was certainly unsure but right now I was able to see the almost annoyingly cocky Law shine through.

"So what do you want me to do...?" Still, I needed to be careful. This was obviously new terrain for Law. But it was also a test for my self control. He took in another shaky breath and said: "If I'm sleeping in your bed, you should be doing so too." Though I really just wanted to say yes, I needed to double check again. Maybe I wasn't that sure about this myself... Not that anything was going to happen tonight, that was for sure, but still.

"You sure about this?" The dark haired male nodded, but didn't meet my eyes. "Law, the sofa is really ok if you…" I was interupted by his lips on mine and I just couldn't help myself anymore. Not this time.

I raised my arms and pulled him down onto the sofa. It wasn't a big sofa and so his smaller form came to rest on my broader one. A small yelp of surprise escaped him before my lips were once more on his, silencing any further sound coming from him.

I managed to let him break the kiss after a while. He was panting lightly, a mixture of surprise and confusion on his face. "Let's go to bed. I will behave, promised." He smiled, a little unsure still, but got up and headed for the bedroom.

Law had slipped out of his shirt and pants, already lying in the bed. I got out of my pants and lay down beside him. Carefully I moved closer and put my arm around him. A broad smile spread on my face when he snuggled closer to me. I was asleep within only a few minutes, his comforting warmth close beside me.

I really loved to write that chapter. For once I had enough time to carefully reread it and to plan it and... I really like it.. Sorry I guess

I could have dragged that chapter out for eternity... But I am trying to keep to my ~1000 words per chapter so...

Gives me some room for a few further chapters.

Read & Review please - Thanks!
