Three weeks earlier…

"Happy New Year Tony" she smirked. "Happy New Year Angela" he said as the ball dropped in Times Square, neither of them paying any attention to anything but each other. Both were feeling the effects of the alcohol. They weren't drunk like they were for Angela's birthday a few years back, but tipsy enough that their normal restraint was fast diminishing.

Tony leaned in to Angela again, meeting her eyes and seeing the same desire he was feeling. He captured her lips again in such a passionate kiss, both lost their balance and fell back against the sofa, with Tony fully on top of Angela. They paused for a brief moment until Angela pulled him back down to her and recaptured his lips with hers.

It didn't take long for her hands to move from around his neck south to his chest. She began pulling his shirt out of his jeans until her hands found his sculptured muscles underneath. Her hands caressed each chest muscle until his shirt became too much of a hindrance. She started unbuttoning his shirt until it came undone and was discarded somewhere on the floor. Her eyes grew large as she could see up close his full upper body, something she admired and longed to touch since that first night with Tony in the kitchen.

Tony wanted to level the playing field and helped Angela out of her sweater, revealing her light pink lace bra. Without even thinking, his hand went inside her bra, gently massaging the soft, supple flesh beneath. His other hand began to unclasp her bra when Angela stopped him.

"Tony, I want this, believe me I do, but not here. Would you come with me upstairs?" she asked with overwhelming desire still evident in her eyes.

Without saying a word, Tony stood up and picked Angela up off the sofa and carried her upstairs. Neither said a word as Tony opened up Angela's bedroom door and walked them inside to her bed. He gently placed her on the bed and and stood back up, admiring her overwhelming beauty. He was more than a little aroused and in a state of shock that this was actually finally happening. Angela could sense Tony's thoughts as hers were right with his.

"Come to me Tony. Make love to me" she said with a sultry passion in her voice as she reached for his hand. He reached back and allowed her to pull him next to her on the bed. All doubts vanished from both their minds as their lips found each other's again. A sense of urgency took them over and their kissing became faster and faster. Their hands continued the exploring they had begun on the sofa.

Soon, Tony found the clasp of Angela's bra and unfastened it, leaving her breasts exposed in the dimly lit room. His hands were immediately drawn to them, alternating between each breast. Angela let out a deep moan of pleasure as he replaced his hands with his mouth. Angela wanted, no needed, to have some form of contact with Tony as her hands found his shoulders. She massaged from his shoulders down to his lower back. As much as she was enjoying Tony's attention, she craved more and drew him back up to her as she captured his lips in a passionate kiss.

She could feel his desire for her as she pressed fully up against his body. She started to unbuckle his belt and work the button and zipper on his jeans. Realizing he needed to match her movements, he grabbed the sides of her pants and began guiding them down her legs. Soon, both were left in only their underwear. Tony took great pleasure in removing the final barriers between them both, leaving them both totally exposed and vulnerable.

Suddenly self conscious, Angela was afraid Tony wouldn't or couldn't be satisfied by her body. Tony could see the doubt in her eyes. He wanted to make sure she understood just how beautiful she was, how attractive she was to him. He leaned back so he could see her entire body. He took his hand and caressed her ankle, up to her calf, her leg, over to her hip bone. He traveled up and over to her stomach, stopping to circle her belly button with his fingers, then up to her breasts. His hand ventured up to her neck, then to her cheek and finally through her hair.

"You are absolutely stunning, do you know that? I have a feeling you don't and I'm going to do everything in my power to make you feel as beautiful as you truly are to me" he said as he took her lips again into a passionate kiss.

They continued to explore each other's bodies until they were both practically screaming for release. No words were needed as they gazed into each other's eyes and became one. Their love making was passionate, intense and earth shattering. More than once, they both had fleeting thoughts of being happy to have had the house to themselves as neither of them were quiet.

When they finally came down from losing themselves as friends, it took them a few minutes to calm their breathing. Angela curled up into Tony, while he grabbed the comforter and pulled it over them both. Angela went to speak but Tony put a gentle finger over her lips.

"Not tonight Angela. We will have plenty of time to talk over the next few days. I just want to hold you and enjoy this moment" he said as he leaned in for a kiss. They made love another three times that night, each time more gratifying than the next. Finally, both completely exhausted and satisfied, they fell into a peaceful sleep, wrapped up in each other's arms.

Tony was the first to awaken in the morning. Despite only a few hours of sleep, he felt rejuvenated and full of energy. He spent the next few minutes watching Angela sleep, her head resting peacefully on his chest. Without realizing it, his hand came up and began caressing her hair. He enjoyed the intoxicating natural scent she emitted, smiling at the fact he knew she didn't wear any perfume. He started to imagine his life waking up with Angela wrapped in his arms every morning.

Angela began to stir as she started to wake up. For a moment, she had forgotten about last night, thinking it was a wonderful dream, until she felt the steady rhythm of Tony's breathing beneath her head. Slowly, she gazed up at him and saw him smiling back at her. She couldn't help but smile back at him and reached up to kiss him good morning.

"Why don't we each get showered and ready, then I'll make us a big breakfast! Whatever you want, I'll whip it up pronto!" he said as he moved to get off the bed.

"You're right. As big of a meal as we had last night, I think we both worked up an appetite last night" she laughed.

"Eh oh, oh eh! You better believe it! I'll meet you downstairs in a few minutes" he said as he left her room. She grabbed her things and headed to take a shower, all the while wondering where things between them were headed after a night like last night. After her shower, she got changed and heard Tony heading down the stairs. She finished getting ready and made her way downstairs too. She secretly hoped Tony would finally confess his love for her, especially after finally crossing that threshold to losing themselves as friends. All she could do was hope and wait as she walked through the kitchen door…
