"Knock, knock." Robin said, walking into Patrick's office.

Patrick smiled at the sight of her. "Robin, what are you doing here?"

Robin chuckled. "Not exactly the response I was hoping for."

Patrick shook his head. "I'm always happy to see you, I'm just surprised that you're here."

"Why wouldn't I visit you?" Robin asked as she closed the blinds on his windows and locked the door.

"To prevent future suspicion?" Patrick offered as he watched Robin's ministrations.

"I think you know exactly why I'm here." Robin said, her eyebrow raised as she pressed both of her hands on to the edge of desk and leaned forward.

Patrick pushed his chair back and stood, putting his hands on his hips, pushing his white coat back. "I do believe I do."

"Really?" Robin asked, biting her lip as she turned around to look at Patrick straight on as he rounded the corner of his desk.

He leaned toward her, pushing her more into the desk. He pressed his hands against the desk on either side of her, bracing her in.

Patrick's eyes bored into Robin's as he watched her. "Are you expected anywhere?" he asked as he moved his hand to grasp her ass, pushing her against his stone hard erection which was threatening the seams of his scrubs.

"Not anymore," Robin responded breathlessly, much to her embarrassment. Boldly, she moved her hand to take hold of his member.

Patrick groaned and whirled her around and pushed her against the wall. His lips suckled against her neck as he moved up to her mouth.

Robin moaned as he sucked on her pulse point, her hands fisting in his hair. "Patrick," she whispered.

Patrick's lips attacked hers, his tongue invading her mouth and twisting with hers. Robin grasped the edge of his pants and the inseam of his boxers and pulled them down eagerly. Patrick's cock sprung free and pressed against her thigh.

"Dr. Scorpio, I do believe you're a bit overdressed," Patrick whispered to her huskily as he pushed up her top to suck on her nipple.

"Patrick," Robin moaned as his hand traveled up her skirt to pull down her soaked panties.

"It looks like you're ready." Patrick murmured against her heated skin as he pulled a condom out of his coat pocket and ripped the foil wrapper off with his teeth.

Patrick hurriedly slid the latex over his cock and took no hesitation in slamming into Robin.

Robin gasped as he filled her so fully. "Patrick, yes," she whispered, her arms grasping his shoulders as he pumped into her.

"Robin," he groaned. "Come on baby, come for me."

Robin closed her eyes at the intensity of the sensation. "My god, Patrick harder please." She begged as she wrapped her legs tightly around his waist.

"I love you, Robin." Patrick whispered in her ear, his teeth grazing her earlobe, causing her to shiver.

Robin's head bent back in a wordless, soundless cry as Patrick's words went straight to her core, causing her to orgasm gloriously around him.

Riding out Robin's orgasm, Patrick came to his own and stumbled the pair onto his nearby office chair.

Robin looked into Patrick's eyes and wiped some of the hair off his forehead. "My god, that was…"

"I know," Patrick said with a grin, pressing his lips to her neck. "That was better than I dreamed it would be."

Robin giggled and rested her head against Patrick's chest, his arms constricting around her. "Same for me. I love you, too Patrick, by the way."

Robin's words resonated to Patrick's cock and both of them felt as he began to get hard again.

"Already?" Robin asked, her eyebrow cocked.

Patrick's grin grew wider. "What can I say? Give me one moment, though." Patrick said as he helped her off and put on a new condom after throwing the used on in to the nearby trash bin.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth was standing at the nurse's station, updating patient files.

"Nurse Weber to room 34A, Nurse Weber to room 34A." Elizabeth quickly closed the windows she was working on and made her way down to the hospital room.

She was just getting near the room when suddenly a hand reached out of nearby supply closet and yanked her inside.

Elizabeth struggled until she saw the grin on Jason's face as he locked the door behind her.

"Was that you?" Elizabeth asked, a grin forming on her face as well.

Jason's eyes twinkled. "What do you think? Now, nurse Weber. I do recall something you did for me this morning…" he began as his lips started a path from the bottom of her ear to her collar bone.

Elizabeth moaned, her hands fisting in Jason's hair. "I had to go, Jase."

"Oh I know," he acknowledged mischievously. "However, what kind of man would I be if I didn't do the same for you?"

Elizabeth's pupils dilated as she realized what he was referencing. She pulled his face up to hers and crushed her lips to his.

A groan built low in Jason's chest as he grabbed her by the hips and pressed her forcefully against the door, grinding his growing erection into her waiting hips.

Elizabeth pushed his dark grey leather jacket off of him and quickly undid the buttons of his black button down shirt. Jason shimmied his shoulders and the fabric fell to the floor. Elizabeth ran her hands over Jason's muscled torso.

Jason's tongue invaded her mouth and their tongues battled for dominance with Jason winning quickly. His hands moved under her top and grasped against the skin there.

Elizabeth pulled away with a salacious look in her eye and quickly pulled the shirt over her head discarding it behind her. She then moved to remove Jason's belt and giggled to herself as she saw Jason's erection straining against the seams of his dark wash jeans.

Jason halted her movements, winked at her, and pulled down his boxers and jeans with one hand, his erection pressing against her thigh.

Neither of them was prepared for what happened next. Before they could react, the door to the supply closet opened to an irritated Epiphany.

"Really? What is it with today? First I catch Dr. Drake and Dr. Scorpio-Drake in his office and now the two of you."
Elizabeth hid behind Jason as he scrambled to pull his pants back up.

"Nurse Weber, I expect you back out here soon, and Jason, I must say I'm impressed." Epiphany said, shutting the door. The pair could hear her chuckling as she walked away.

Elizabeth was dressed in seconds while Jason deftly buttoned his shirt back up and pulled his jacket on.

"So close," he murmured, pressing her against the shut door. "I must say, I do hope we can continue this soon."

"I do, too," she said, kissing him quickly. "I love you, Jason."

"Love you, too," Jason said as she was exiting the closet. Before she could get all the way out, he gave her a pat on the ass and watched as she jumped.

As he passed her he winked.

He was still thinking about how to surprise Elizabeth later on when he accidentally bumped into Robin who looked a bit shaken.

Jason steadied her. "Robin are you alright?"

Robin looked up at him and he realized she wasn't shaken, she was chagrined. He recalled what Elizabeth had said about catching her and Patrick.

"Jason, what are you doing here? Is everything alright?"

"I was here to see Michael earlier, and you didn't answer my question." He pressed even though he knew what the answer would be.

Robin smiled and shook her head. "I'm fine, Jason, I just had a bit of a surprise."

Jason chuckled. "I heard. Epiphany caught Liz and I back in one of the supply closets."

Robin's cheeks reddened, but she laughed along with him. "I swear she's got a sixth sense for it."

"I most certainly do." Epiphany said, striding past them with a smile on her face. "It's a good thing none of you have a sense for it, or you would have caught me and Milo." Epiphany walked away giggling as the pair watched after her in shock.

"Did she just say…?" Jason asked and stopped when he saw Milo walking up in the direction Epiphany had just come.

"Hey Jason, Robin." Milo said, striding past them, with a bounce in his step.

When he was out of view, the pair laughed so hard, tears came out of the eyes.

"Well it was good seeing you, Robin. I've got to get back to Michael."

"And I have a hospital to run." Robin said and gave him a quick hug before walking off.

Meanwhile, Gideon was making reservations at the metro court for his dinner tonight with Sam. Upon his completion of the call, he smiled to himself and rubbed his hands through his black, wavy hair.

"Oh Sam, if only you know how much of an impression you've already made." Gideon mused to himself. Her eyes, so expressive yet so mysterious at the same time intrigued him beyond belief.

Gideon glanced at himself in the mirror and in the risk of sounding vain, he had to admit he looked good. He was wearing a full black suit. Black Italian loafers, black Armani suit complete with black vest, shirt, and time and he was wearing the platinum diamond Rolex that Helena had gifted him before he died.

He smiled when his phone buzzed. A text from Sam.

S: Hey Gideon, do I meet you or do you meet me?

Gideon shook his head and smiled and responded.

G: I'll pick you up. I've made reservations. Mind telling me where to go?

Sam sent Gideon her address and he quickly saved it to his phone for future reference.

G: How does thirty minutes sound?

S: Doable. I'll see you then. :)

Gideon put his phone away and grabbed the grey fedora on his way out of the hotel room that he was currently staying in.

Gideon strides down the hallway and down to the elevator which quickly takes him into the lobby. He can feel the stares of women around him. Gideon laughs to himself.

It's just a pretty face, ladies. Besides, I only have eyes for one woman tonight.

Gideon walked out the door and signaled to the limo driver waiting for him.

"Mr. Tate?" The driver checked.

Gideon nodded. "We are meeting my date at this address in about twenty five minutes." Gideon says handing him the address. "Do you mind if we make a few stops before we make it there."

"Of course. Lead the way." The driver answers.

Twenty minutes later, Gideon gets back in the limo and looks around him. Flowers, champagne, and if the night goes well a beautiful diamond necklace, and if not tonight, another time.

When Gideon pulled up to the penthouse, his breath caught when he saw Sam make her way out of the building. She was wearing a beautiful midnight blue evening gown, and her hair was waved and fell about her face perfectly. Her mouth broke into a breathtaking smile when he rolled down the window.

"You really go all out, don't you?" Sam asked as Gideon got out of the car and held the door open for her.

"I most certainly do, for a beautiful woman." Gideon said, saying the last part too low for her to hear.

"Champagne, too?" Sam asked when Gideon rejoined her in the backseat.

"We can go," Gideon let the driver know before turning his attention back to Sam. "I also have these for you." Gideon said before pulling out a dozen red roses.

Sam's face reddened. "You do this for all your friends?"

"Only the ones I like." Gideon said with a charming smile. "Did I tell you how beautiful you look?"

Sam's head ducked and on instinct, Gideon lifted her chin up with his index finger. "Please, don't hide from me. You're beautiful."

"You're not so bad yourself. What is that…Armani?" Sam asked, impressed, touching him on the arm.

"It is," Gideon answered. "My grandmother taught me from a young age that you dress to impress."

"She sounds very…"

"Intimidating?"

"I was going to say classy, but whatever you want." Sam said with a giggle.

"Oh Sam, you'll sound find out that I get everything I want," Gideon thought to himself.

"I do believe we've arrived." Gideon said, drawing Sam's attention to their new location.

"Very nice," Sam said approvingly, starting to open her door. Gideon reached across her to halt her movements.

"Please, let me." Gideon said, fully aware of the fact that his lips were just inches from hers.

From the way that Sam's breathing sped up, he could tell she was aware of it, too. Gideon quickly got out of the limo and moved around to open her door for her.

"After you, miss Morgan." Gideon said with a flourish of his hand.

Sam got out of the car and took Gideon's waiting hand. When they walked in, all eyes were on them.

"It's so weird, all the attention." Sam whispered to Gideon as they made their way to the elevator.

"You look stunning tonight, Sam, I'd be surprised if no one noticed." Gideon said as they watched the doors closed.

"I think the women were actually looking at you." Sam said with a nervous giggle.

Gideon shakes his head. If only she knew that he only had eyes for her tonight. "It's just a pretty face, Sam."

"From what I can tell, you're pretty on the inside, too." She said touching his arm as the elevator doors opened.

"Can I help you?" asked a nearby employee.

"Reservations for Tate?" Gideon asked.

"Right this way. We've been expecting you." The employee said, leading them to the table on the terrace.

When the waiter left them alone at their table, Gideon visibly relaxed.

"So, I'm pretty sure you don't do this for just any friend. Why me?" Sam asked, her eyebrow raised.

Gideon smiled and chuckled to himself and reached across the table to take hold of her hand. "Are you having a good time, Sam?"

"Yes, of course."

"I said we could go out as friends, but I find you interesting. You're beautiful. You're mysterious. I figured if I could impress you, you would reconsider."

Sam sat back and eyed him speculatively. While she was still getting over Jason, she knew that he was with Elizabeth. Gideon was interesting, he was different, and he was new.

"Well you succeeded."

"Really?" Gideon asked, doing a mental back flip.

Sam nodded with a growing smile. "I'm ready to see where this goes. I'm not taking you up on this because of how much you've impressed me, which you have. I'm willing to take a chance because of your personality."

Gideon grinned at her and placed his other hand on hers. "I'm so very glad that you've reconsidered your earlier judgment. Waiter, I think we need a round of champagne."

Sam laughed and nodded holding out her glass.

An hour later, they were on their fourth glass of champagne and just dipping into their desserts.

"Oh my god, this is so good." Sam said, her eyes popping as she took a bite of the tiramisu she had ordered.

"Really? Do you mind if I have a taste?" Gideon asked, raising his eyebrow.

Sam boldly sliced a portion of the cake off with her fork and offered it to Gideon who closed his lips around the fork and as he pulled back winked at her.

"Hmm, I can see why you like it." Gideon said, raking his tongue over his bottom lip to retrieve some smeared chocolate.

Without warning, Sam reached across the table and grabbed Gideon by the lapels of his tuxedo and crushed her lips to his.

Sam leaned back. "I'm sorry. I don't know what came over…"

Sam's thought was interrupted when Gideon grabbed her face and pulled her lips against his for another heart aching kiss.

Gideon only released her to stand up and come to her side of the table.

"That was…" Gideon whispered, his forehead against hers.

"Yeah," Sam said, agreeing.

"Do you want to get out of here?" Gideon asked, gesturing with his head.

Sam eyed him for a moment, pursed her lips, and nodded. "Why not? Let's seize the day as they say."

Gideon put his arm around her waist as they walked to the elevator and they could literally feel the eyes on them, except this time there was a few sets that they weren't expecting.

As soon as they got into the elevator, Gideon had Sam up against the wall, his lips exploring the length of her neck.

"Oh Sam, if only you knew how much I wanted this." Gideon thought to himself as he felt Sam tangle her fingers in his wavy hair.

They fumbled out of the elevator when they reached Gideon's floor.

"Were you expecting this to happen?" Sam asked between kisses somewhat breathlessly.

"I didn't know what to expect. I just happen to be staying here." Gideon answered, quickly opening the door.

He shut it with his foot and watched as Sam looked around. "Can I offer you anything?" Gideon asked, watching her movements. "I wouldn't want to be a bad host. My grandmother would have my ass."

Sam chuckled and shook her head. "I'm perfectly fine, Gideon. I just want you."

Sam's words resonated straight to Gideon's growing erection that he was doing his best to hide. Sam moved closer to him.

Gideon repeated her movements and in one bold move, he grabbed her hips and bucked her against his body.

Sam gasped, but then wrapped one of her hand into Gideon's hair, pulling him closer to her. With the other hand, she started to push off his jacket.

Gideon shimmied his shoulders to shrug it off, and moved his lips to Sam's neck when she moved her hands to the buttons of his vest. Gideon backed up and helped her with the buttons of his vest and then with the buttons of his shirt.

Sam yanked the fabric out from under his pants and began working on his belt. Gideon groaned at the contact her hands made with his chest as she ran them over the muscles of his torso.

"My god, Gideon, you're perfect." Sam murmured.

Gideon chuckled to himself. "Far from it."

Sam eyed him salaciously and shook her head as she finally got his belt loose.

"I do believe you're a bit overdressed, Miss Morgan." Gideon whispered huskily in her ear and turned her around in front of him.

Gideon ran his hands along her sides before returning them to the zipper at the back of her dress.

Excruciatingly slowly, Gideon unzipped the zipper down the length of her back and watched as it slipped over her body and to the floor.

Gideon turned Sam back around and saw Sam's eyes dark and watching him. He stared back and reached behind her to unclasp her bra.

Upon the releasing click of the bra, Sam's breasts tumbled free and Gideon gazed at them before placing his hands on them and squeezing.

Sam's head tilted back as she moaned. He ran his hardened thumbs over her elongating nipples, and pulled her forward by the seams of her panties.

Gideon took one hand to move the hair from her neck, and suckled there, creating a path from her ear to her collar bone.

"Gideon, please." Sam gasped, starting to unbutton his pants.

Gideon pulled back and winked at her. "You only needed to ask." Gideon asked before deftly pulling both his pants and his boxers down.

Sam's eyes widened when she saw just how large Gideon's cock really was. "Do you still want to do this?" Gideon asked, stepping forward, removing his feet from his pants and boxers.

Sam raised his eyebrows at him. "Absolutely," she whispered huskily, removing her panties just as slowly as he had removed her dress.

Gideon grabbed a remote behind her and pressed a button and suddenly the most beautiful romantic music was playing around them.

Gideon's eyes were only for her as he placed his hands on her hips, his erection pressing against her thigh. He slowly walked her back so that the back of Sam's knees hit the edge of the bed.

Gideon's lips crushed against hers as they both fell back against the satin duvet.

Sam pulled back and pulled herself up the bed so that her head rested against the pillows. Gideon quickly followed and his lips pressed against hers once more.

Gideon held his weight above her, but could feel ever line of his body touch every line of hers. He lifted his hips so that his tip was leveled at her entrance.

Gideon asked her with his eyes one more time. Sam eyed him salaciously and lifted her hips to rub against his tip.

Gideon groaned and without warning, thrusted into her, filling her completely.

Sam gasped and gripped his shoulders. Gideon's groan grew more pronounced as he felt her walls constrict around him.

Slowly, Gideon began to move. Sam wrapped her legs around Gideon's waist and matched him thrust for thrust.

"Oh god, Gideon, faster, harder."

Gideon grunted and thrusted harder, moving one hand to grip the headboard behind Sam's head.

With one final full thrust, he felt Sam's walls constrict around him like a vice as she came around him. The clenching around his hard, massive cock caused him to lose control and he found himself reaching a glorious climax shortly after her.

Gideon pulled out and rolled off to Sam's side.

Sam moved over to rest her head on Gideon's chest and smiled when Gideon kissed her temple, wrapping his arms around her.

"Thank you, Sam." Gideon said breathlessly. Good god, he hadn't been expecting it to be that good.

"Oh, please, it was my pleasure, Gideon." Sam said with a chuckle, kissing his chest. Sam felt Gideon's answering chuckle rumble through his chest.

"As it was mine." Gideon said, resting his head atop hers. His light grey eyes were alight with satisfaction and when he looked down once more, his beautiful lover had found sleep.

Meanwhile, Jason and Carly were discussing Sam's date.

"So you've never met him? Do you even know who he is?"

Jason shook his head and clasped his hands in front of him and leaned his one side against the bar. "No, but then again I can't expect Sam to tell me about every guy she just so happens to think about dating."

"It would appear that she and this man are doing more than simply dating."

Jason shook his head. "Honestly Carly, Sam can do whatever she wants. I'm with Elizabeth. It's not like I expected her to simply pine over me for the rest of our lives."

Carly chuckled. "I know you better than that Jason. Sam was and is your wife, no matter what relationship you have with Elizabeth. Of course it's going to be strange see be intimate or romantic with other men."

"I don't have a problem with it, but you are right, it's a bit strange."

"Now you know how Sam feels every time she sees you and Elizabeth. I felt the same way when I saw Sonny with other women."

"But you guys had broken up and been with other people."

"And he felt the same when he saw me with other men, I'm sure."

Jason nodded, recalling a memory. "That I can confirm. As long as Danny is safe, and this guy poses no threat to her or his safety, I'm fine with it."

Carly nodded agreeably. "I felt the same way when it comes to my children."

"Do you really think they're up there having sex?" Jason asked.

Carly laughed out loud. "Are you really asking me that?

Jason laughed with her and shook his head. "Wow, I guess I am. I wouldn't be surprised. Sam is beautiful, and the guy seems…"

"Hot…sexy…a great body." Carly mused, resting her head on her hand.

Jason shooed her. "And I'm not? Don't answer that. Aren't you with Sonny?"

"You are, and just because I'm with Sonny doesn't mean I can't admire the views of other men. I love Sonny."

"Anyway, different topic please. I really would rather not have the image of my wife screwing another guy in my head."

Carly shook her head. "Think of how Sam feels."

Jason groaned and put his head in his hands. "I know, but I love Elizabeth, and Sam getting hurt is unavoidable. So, who do you think this new guy is?"

"How is this a new topic?"

"It's better than the alternative. Did you get his name?"

"No, but I think I have his receipt. Aha, his name is Gideon Tate."

Jason nodded. "Okay it's not the 'James' character that Jake mentioned."

Carly's brow furrowed as she considered the options presented. "Not necessarily. He's new in town, really new. The name here could be an alias."

Jason groaned again and closed his eyes while pinching the bridge of his nose. "Or he could just be a guy."

"Think about it. He shows up around the time that Lucky brings Jake back."

"I'll look into it." Jason promised and checked his watch. "And I must be going. Elizabeth's going to be off work soon and I have a surprise planned for her."

"Oh yeah, I heard about your little run in with Epiphany."

Jason did a double take. "How did you find about that?"

"I heard Epiphany mention it to Milo over lunch earlier. I have to say I had a good laugh over that one."

Jason rolled his eyes. "Trust me, it was anything but funny. It was extremely awkward. Elizabeth and I were just about to, you know, and then all of a sudden Epiphany bursts the door open. The worst part was that she said she was impressed by my you know."

Carly coughed up the sip of the martini she had started to drink. Carly was laughing so hard, tears were falling from her eyes. "My god, Jason, I thought it was funny before, but this takes it over the top.

"You wouldn't be laughing if it was you. Apparently love was in the air at the hospital. She caught Robin and Patrick in Patrick's office."

Carly's laughing transitioned into coughing as she tried to rid the image from her mind. "That is not something I needed to know."

Jason rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Anyway, I must be going. Good luck getting that image out of your mind."

"Not funny," Carly called after him.
