* Later at the Martini's bar *

"How did you know Larry?"

"I don't know I just got a feeling that he was fooling us."

I sighed.

"And I was compassionate to him... Oh what a mess!"

Larry laughed and leaned on the bar.

"There are swindlers even in law." Larry added.

"I feel foolish. This was just a waist of time... ahhh...."

"You know that's okay Ally." He said, softly. "Actually, it was a good thing."

"Yeah... Because you won..." I answered, rolling my eyes.

"No. Because we met again."

He flashed me one of this incredible smile and I melted into his gaze.

"Huh...Hmm...You're right Larry."

He moved a step closer and leaned his head on the side.

"You want a Tequila?"

"Oh!" I gasped.

"Kidding!" he said with a light laugh.

I giggled and mumbled:

"Too bad."

"What?"

Richard interrupted us there. All the members of the firm were staring at us with curiosity.

"You want to dance, Ally?" Richard proposed.

"Is this a... joke?" I asked him with surprise.

"No... Come on... "

I took a look at Larry and told him a weak : "Sorry" and I followed Richard to the dance floor.

"What is it Richard?" I asked him with impatience.

"This Larry Paul.. Was he just a friend in law school?"

"Richard! Since when are you interested in my love life?"

"Ooohh! Love life. Got ya!"

I rolled my eyes.

"What do you want Richard? What's the point of asking me to dance?"

"Hey! I am the one asking question here!"

"Huh...okay.

"Question: Do you want him?"

"What?"

"Do you want Larry Paul?"

"Oh...huh...huh..."

"Come on!"

"Huh... yeah..."

I blushed.

"How much?" Richard asked.

I took a look at Larry. He was still leaning against the bar, looking at us from the distance. There was just that little something about him that made me... crazy...

"Ally!" Richard insisted. "How much do you want him?"

"Badly." I said, biting my lower lip.

Richard chuckled.

"Great! Now. I feel like I could help you. Don't ask me why. I just think that you need some excitment in your life after six months with the most boring guy on earth... read Brian. Now, here's the thing.."

"What?"

"I'm going to hire Larry Paul for a case and you'll be working as co-counsels."

"Oh!"

"Give me twenty seconds and I'm done."

Richard let me there on the dance floor. He quickly made his way to Larry. Both talked a little while and then shook hands. Richard raised his thumb up and I felt like it would be a good idea to dig a hole in the floor and hide in it. My legs weakened when I saw Larry approaching on the dance floor. We got caught in a glance again. I was just standing there among the couple of dancers while Vonda was singing:

But no other man's gonna do
So I've saving all my love for you

I smiled to him as he leaned closer and said in my ear.

"So we'll be working together."

I nodded.

"The war is over." I said softly.

He took my hand in his and pulled me closer to him. He didn't care to ask me to dance. We just had to dance together. I let my head drop on his shoulder and he tightened his embrance.

So I'm saving all my love for you
Yes I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you

It just felt right to be together finally...

"RICHARD!!!!!!"

I had never felt so ashamed in my whole life! Richard had just told me about the case that Larry and I will have to work on. As I was rushing out of the conference room, I bumped into Elaine and pushed her away.

"Get out of my way! Waaaaah!" I yelled.

"Murder! Murder! Ally is going to kill Richard!" she shouted with excitment.

Richard entered the unisex and I followed him inside. I punched his arm hardly.

"Ouch! Aaaaaahhh That hurts!"

"You did that on purpose RICHARD! I just knew you wouldn't hire Larry because you feel like a cupid. You just wanted to make fun of us. You PIG!"

Another punch.

"Aaahhh! Calm down Ally! It's just a stupid case!"

"A stupid case? Don't tell me!" I yelled. "That is why I am mad!"

"I just thought it would be funny Ally. Plus that's the only thing I've got for you and your Larry."

My Larry? Oh...

"Richard!" I insisted, trying to get my thoughts together. "You booked us on the most stupid case. Damn it! A man suing his ex because he thinks that she was faking orgasm! That is all you came up with? Damn it!"

Richard laughed.

"You know what's the funniest part?"

"Don't tell me!" I warned him between my teeth.

"The woman is a porn star!" Richard exclaimed, his laugh becoming hysterical.

"RICHARD!"

Later that morning, I saw Elaine's head appear (which was supposed to be attached to the rest of her body by the way...)

"Ally! There's this...hmm...incredibly sexy man who wants to see you. Should I let him in?"

"Larry?" I asked automatically.

Elaine pushed the door open and I saw that Larry was standing next to her with a shy smile on his face.

"He's in!" Elaine said with a giggle.

I almost fell out of my chair.

Great! Now he knows that I associate the words incredibly sexy man with his name! Aaaaaaaah

"Larry! Hey!" I said waving my hand and feeling like a complete idiot.

"Hey!"

Elaine was examining Larry from head to toe. I could see that he was feeling uncomfortable being the object of such attention.

"Thanks Elaine." I snapped.

She waved goodbye and walked away sensuously.

"Huh... She's..." Larry hesitated, pointing the spot where Elaine was a second again. "She's quite a number."

"Oh... That's just... Elaine." I responded raising my shoulders. "How are you?"

"Fine... You?"

"I'm fine..." I said slowly.

Now that you are back in my life.

He stepped inside my office, holding his suitcase with a hand. I don't know if he could tell by the look on my face that I was completely ecstatic by his presence. I let my head drop on my hand and stared at him, a dreamy smile on my lips.

"Ally?"

"Huh...oh!" I let out, getting out of transe. "Yeah..."

"Are you ready?"

"What for?"

"We're meeting with our client.

"Oh! Right!" I giggled.

My Larry... Our client...

Larry scratched his head and sighed. I raised and searched for the file.

"Can I just... huh..." Larry began."Well... Richard Fish told me about the case. Don't you think that it's a little odd?"

"No... I mean.. Yes..." I hesitated.

"I'm sure that you could have done it by yourself. I don't know why he hired me..."

"Oh! Are you already busy with other cases?"

"No... I was just wondering."

I nodded.

Richard hired you because I'm so into you that I need to find a way to tell you.. Maybe the proximity will help... or maybe...

"Ally?" he asked again. "The client is waiting."

"Sorry."

"I'm really sorry, Larry. This case is stupid."

"That's okay." he said, raising his shoulders.

We just had finished meeting Mr Sanders, the plaintif who had to tell us everything about his sexual life with his ex-wife a *huge* porno star Barbra X. This was almost torture to hear someone talking about sex when you're starting to realise that you're having sexual fantasies towards the co-counsel. Hmmm... But I had to act like a professionnal which meant, not staring at Larry's muscular arms benith that purple shirt he was wearing. That was almost painfull... Several times, Larry caught me glancing at him with that seductive smile I used to practice years ago in front of my mirror. He would respond to it by looking somewhere else. I just couldn't help it...

Now, we were back in my office, preparing the next meeting with Barbra X which was scheduled the day after.

"I'm confused. How could he tell that she was faking orgasm?" I asked Larry. "She's a professionnal faker."

He smiled and grabbed a pen as I was biting mine.

"Maybe we'll have to watch her movies. I have some popcorn at home if you're interested."

I tried to picture us watching a porno movie. I just could imagine the bol of popcorn flying in the air before we had the time to get the remote and start the movie.

"Oh funny! Don't tell me that you watch that kind of movie!"

"Hey... I'm a man." he said, laughing.

"Oh...Gross! Larry you are deceiving me."

I just couldn't tell if he was joking or if he really was serious about it. I shook my head trying to make the image of him watching *that kind of movie* away. We exited my office a moment after. He held the door to me which made me smile. As we were making our way to the elevator to get a lunch downstairs, Richard stopped us.

"Ally. Larry. Funny it rhymes!" Richard laughed. "I just wanted to know.. How's the sex... I mean the case is going?"

Larry forced his eyebrows.

Thank you Richard! Now, Larry will know that this is a set up...

"It's doing great." Larry said slowly.

"Have you come up with *anything* yet..?" Richard asked in some subliminal way.

I got the insinuation and blushed. Larry didn't get anything... or didn't seem like he was understanding.

"We were going to have lunch." I said, pulling Larry by the arm before Richard would add anything compromising.

Just before passed the elevator door, I saw Richard winking at me. I understood what that look was about when the elevator stopped between two levels. The emergency red light opened.

"Richard." I mumbled.

I can't believe it! He caused a power failure.

"Oh! I'm sure it will restart in a minute." Larry said, smiling.

"Right..." I said, between my teeth.

Ten minutes later, Larry was pushing the emergency button with impatience.

"Maybe they're calling the electrician..." he said, raising his shoulders.

"Right..." I repeated again.

I raised my head and leaning on the opposite wall from Larry, I glanced at him. By the glimmer of the red light, he look even more handsome to me. Or maybe, it had nothing to do with the light maybe I was thrilled because I was alone with him in a very small space.

"That light is killing me." He said, sliding his glasses to his pocket and rubbing his eyes.

"Are you a vampire?" I asked, brushing away my hair from my face.

If so... Bite me...

I blushed but because of the light, it didn't show. Larry smiled and shook his head.

Bad Ally...

"No... Are you?" he asked back, taking off his jacket.

Oh...

My mind went crazy. I could just imagine him taking the rest of his clothes off. Damn Richard! You just don't let alone in a elevator two persons who once had an affair even if it happened years ago. This was so cruel! But Larry wasn't taking his jacket off because he had decided to strip. It was hot in there... Was it hot or...

Maybe I'm ovulating...

So we stood there about thirty more minutes without saying anything. I had to take off my shoes because my feet were killing me. Larry had loosened his tie which I found completely sexy. But maybe it wasn't the purpose... We were trying to avoid each other's eyes but they would just met again. That made me shiver and Larry was staring back at the floor before his eyes met mine again.

There's this chemistry between us and we can't deny it...

"Can I ask you something Ally?" Larry said, breaking the silence.

"What?"

I smiled and leaned my head on the side trying to flash a sexy smile at him.

What's going on with me?

"Did you ever fake orgasm?" he asked casually.

"What!?" I exclaimed.

"I was just thinking about the case. That question you were asking me... How can you tell that a woman is faking orgasm. See I don't have a clue..."

"Oh!"

He opened the Sanders file and took a look inside, he forced his eyebrows and tried to read. I moved a little closer to him and read over his shoulder.

"You see. If we want to win this case, we have to prove that Barbra X was faking orgasm. But the question is... how can you tell?"

"You want me to fake it for you?" I said, half joking, half serious.

He raised his head and his eyes went to my lips.

"No that will do." he whispered. "I think I've got an idea."

Wait! He's saying that he has an idea about what it seems like to hear a fake orgasm or.... that he recalls me having one?

Larry pushed the emergency button again and looked down at his watch.

"We've been there for about an hour? Hey! People have to use the elevator... Why don't they do something about it?"

He took a deep breath.

"Are you claustrophobic Larry?"

"No." he said smiling lightly.

"Then what is it?" I asked, smiling back at him.

He rubbed his forehead and looked down at the floor.

"Well... let's be honest with each other. It just feels a little strange to... to be confined in a small place together."

"I know..."

"I mean we have...a... an history together." he continued softly. "And you are just standing here..."

I moved a little closer to him, our shoulders were now touching. Mo< "And all I can think of...is you..." he whispered.

Then he raised up his head and our eyes met again. This time, the glance that we were sharing was quite different. We just knew what the other was thinking about. When Larry took my hand in his, I noticed how my whole body was trembling with anticipation. He slowly made me turn to him. We were now dangerously close.

"Ally..." He said softly. "Can I kiss you?"

I smiled tenderly. Why did he had to ask for permission? Wasn't I looking like I was craving for it to happen?

"Why not..." I said, trying to joke but trembling from the inside.

He smiled and softly caught my face between his hands. I closed my eyes and felt his lips tenderly on mine. It was just like in law school... That kind of soft kiss that only Larry could gave me. It was tender, sweet... exciting... but too short.

"So... I'm just going to stop there." he whispered, stepping back.

Nooooooooooo!

"Why?" I asked with a small voice.

"Well... " Larry explained with the sweetest smile. "From what I can remember when we kissed in law school, it brought us a little further..."

"Oh!" I let out. "So..."

"We better stop there." he added, staring back at my lips.

"Okay..."

He pulled me back to him and we stood there breathless, our lips almost touching again.

"Hmm... Larry... Maybe another little kiss wouldn't hurt..."

"No it wouldn't..."

And again his lips captured mine but this time, he was kissing me with passion, his tongue plunging between my lips. I felt my whole body shivering and responded to it with a groan of pleasure. I pressed myself against him as his hands were moving down on my back.

"We better stop now..." Larry moaned between two kisses.

"Yeah..."

He didn't complain when I started to undo his tie. He groaned again and ran his hand though my hair. All of a sudden, the elevator started to move again. We broke apart quicky and fixed back our clothes with a nervous laugh. When the door opened, we understood that the elevator had stopped again at Cage and Fish's. Richard was waiting for us.

And... I had Larry's tie in my hand.

Oh gosh...

"Got ya!" Richard laughed, pointing us.

Ling who was passing ahead, stopped and grimaced.

"Gross... after the carwash... now it's the elevator!"

Larry raised an eyebrow. I shook my head.

"This is always working." Richard said, laughing again. "I don't know what's with elevators but..."

"Where were we going Ally?" Larry asked, interrupting Richard.

"Huh... to take a lunch...huh... Larry." I managed to say, playing nervously with his tie.

"Right!" Larry said, pushing the elevator's button.

This is the greatest co-counsel I've work with in my whole career.

* A lunch with my co-counsel*

"So let's say that she was faking orgasm... Couldn't he just noticed the physical signs that were missing?"

"Such as?" Larry asked, his head leaning on one hand.

"The... the...lubrification... the...huh..." I stammered, feeling uncomfortable. "I'm sure that... you can tell when a woman is giving herself to a man. She... She..."

Larry could barely hide a smile.

"She's... clinging to...huh..." I tried to continue. "Why are you smiling?"

"It's just cute to see you trying to explain these things.. that's all."

"Oh... It's cute?"

"You're cute."

I blushed and bit into my sandwich just to do something. Larry just had a way to stare at me that made me melt in the instant. I was having a hard time sitting at the coffee table with him. I never knew that feeling his knees so close to mine could be so exciting. I had these thoughts....

Hmmm...

"What is your definition of a female orgasm Larry?" I asked, playing with my straw.

This conversation was making us uncomfortable but I have to say it was kind of exciting. To me, it was some kind of subliminal way to remember our night together in the dorm.

"Well..." he said, clearing his throat and then almost whispering "Huh... To me, it has nothing to do with screams of pleasure. It's just the way you feel connected with a woman. It's in her eyes, her whispers....her groanings..."

"Oh gosh..." I let out, shivering.

I melted into his gaze again. This was just so unbearable. Larry smiled widened.

"Did Richard knew that we...huh..." Larry began, searching his words.

"That we..."

"Huh... yeah..."

"Slept together in college? Huh... no.. he doesn't know about it" I said in a breath.

"Well..."

Larry raised his shoulders.

"If you can call it sleeping together..." He added, biting his lower lip.

"Larry you and I had sex!" I exclaimed like he was denying or had forgotten.

"Are you sure?" he said with a serious look.

"Is this a joke?" I gasped. "You better be kidding or..."

I'll have to refresh your memory...

He started to laugh and I slapped him on the hand.

"This isn't funny Larry!" I said with a severe look.

"Okay... then... back on the orgasm's case. So let me write down the physical signs of an orgasm."

I sighed.

"Larry this... this is silly." I said weakly.

"What?" he asked raising his head with surprise.

"Us... having sex talks." I explained my cheeks burning.

"Oh! It just for a case. Are you upset about it?"

He continued to glance at me with attentive eyes. I looked down at his lips, ready to kiss him right there in the coffee shop. Then it escaped me:

"You see I'm... I'm feeling a little uncomfortable right now. I'm really, really attracted to you and the way you say those things it just gives me some thoughts you know... and... and... I was just wondering how it would feel like to be with you, now that I'm thirty and that I have... let's say... higher hormones and sexual needs."

What did I just said? Oh my gosh... Can't I just shut up sometimes? Why did I had to let out those things to him? Aaaahhhh!

"Oh!" Larry said, slowly. "I...huh..."

"Forget about it!" I shouted leaving the table and running out of the Caf�.

Larry joined me on the street a few seconds later.

"Please! Don't pursue me... I just made a fool of myself." I shouted, running away from him."

"Ally... wait... Ally..."

He grabbed my arm and made me turn to him. I noticed that he was smiling gently.

"I'm ashamed." I said, near tears. "Sometimes, I have to say things... I just can't hold them. They just blow out off my mouth and I hate that!"

Larry wrapped his arms around me and my head dropped on his shoulder.

He kissed the top of my head softly.

"That's okay... I was just thinking the same thing." he admitted.

"Oh you were?"

He noded with a shy look on his face. He was so cute when he was doing that face. I sighed and wrapped my hands around his neck.

"You just seem to be on a rush... We just met again and it's like you're afraid that you won't see me again."

"Maybe..." I responded weakly.

"But I'm here Ally." He said soflty. "I am here... with you."

He kissed my lips sweetly and tightened his embrance. *I am here with you* those words meant a lot to me. It was as he was saying to me that there was a second chance for us. It was like he had been waiting for this moment just like I had been waiting for it to happen...

I think I'm in love with you Larry...

We broke apart, still holding hands. Maybe that Renee was right about that feeling she had. I raised my head up and met Larry's eyes. They were tender and had that twinkle that made me wonder if I had ever brought it to another man's eyes.

That night at the Martini's bar, Larry and I were dancing again but this time it was different. We were together.

"Larry where have you been all these years?"

He tightened his embrace.

"I was in Boston." He admitted and then noticing the surprise on my face: "You didn't know?"

"You... You... You were here all these years?" I asked, astounded. "And... and we never met?"

"I saw you one time on the street about two years ago. You were with Billy Thomas."

"Oh... Wait!" I said, shaking my head. "You... you knew Billy?"

"Yes... We were once opposing on a case. You... didn't know?"

"No!" I exclaimed. "You saw me walking down the street with Billy... And you haven't thought of saying hello? Gosh Larry..."

It could have changed everything...

"I thought that you two were together." he explained. "But you weren't as I read in Tracy's file."

"I forgot about that! You know basically everything about me." I said with a grimace.

"Now... You owe me several revelations about the past seven years."

"Okay. First question?"

He smiled and kissed me again.

"Have you thought about me all these years?" I asked nervously.

"Huh... Yes... everytime that there's was a new McDonald's commercial on TV. I was waiting for the new McBeal sandwich."

"Nah! That's funny... You see I was hoping you'd give me a romantic answer like... everytime I smell the roses."

"I'm allergic to flowers." he joked.

With a giggle, I leaned my head to his shoulder.

"Hmm... and how the McBeal sandwich would be like?"

"Let's see..." he began, bringing his lips to my cheek. "Spicy... but sweet..." to my forehead "Surprising" to my ear "tasty..." then he kissed my neck "and... incredibly delicious."

I moaned.

"Is this a trick to seduce me Larry? To make me have those... thoughts again? Because... it is working."

He brought his lips to my neck again and kissed that sensitive part sensuously.

"How about that?" he asked with a sexy smile.

"Hmmm..."

He let a hand under my shirt and ran a finger down my spine. I shivered and bit his chin.

"Oh... Larry..." I moaned. "You are tempting me..."

"No... I'm just making sure that there are enough preliminaries to help you reach an orgasm in a week from now... I'm just starting to..."

"Funny...hmmm..."

He interrupted me with a passionate kiss which I responded to, with even more intensity.

"Maybe we should go..." I proposed, rubbing my nose on his cheek.

"Hmm... Maybe."

An other passionate kiss caught us breathless. We just stopped dancing. I realised that I was pulling his shirt hardly when Larry backed away lightly.

"Ally... There are people..."

"Oh!

I saw Nelle, Elaine, Richard and Ling staring at us. Richard raised his thumb up again and Elaine was pratically applauding.

"Larry.." I whispered in his ear.

"Hmm?"

"Take me home now!"

Before an other kiss would capture us, we broke apart. Larry took my hand in his and I followed him. I tried to give an explanation to my co-workers.

"We're just going to... to... work on our case."

"Yup!" Larry noded with a half smile.

"Right!" Ling said, rolling her eyes.

"You owe me one Ally." Richard said.

"Woo!" Elaine shouted with excitment.

We exited the bar quickly. I just couldn't wait to be alone with him. As we were walking towards my apartment, I pulled him to me and whispered in his ear.

"I can't believe that you are here Larry."

"Me neither." he said with the sweetest smile.

"I live with Renee..."

"Oh! The same roomate from Harvard?"

"Yeah... We've been the greatest friends since then." I said distractly. "Now, where are my keys?"

Larry leaned closer to me and softly moved my hair to drop a kiss on the nape of my neck.

"Larry..." I whispered, with a shiver.

"Hmm?" he said leaning his head on the door and staring at me with his deep brown eyes.

"I can't find my keys."

"Oh!" he said, brushing my hair from my cheek. "Maybe they're somewhere in there. You want me to help you?"

"No..." I said, moving closer. "I want you to kiss me."

I took off his glasses and slid them into the pocket of his coat. He pulled me against him and put his lips on mine first softly but when I let my hand feel his chest, he deepened his kiss with a groan. I caught his face with both hands and just couldn't let go of his lips. His tongue was plunging, tempting me and his hands were starting to caress my waist. This was too much.

"Ally...hmm..." he said, between two kisses. "I...want..."

With full force, the apartment's door opened and Renee caught us there, engaged in a sensuous kiss.

"Larry Paul!" she exclaimed.

We quickly broke apart like teenagers caught making out... Well... we were making out but...

"Is been so long!" Renee continued, her arms crossed on her chest. "How have you been?"

I could have killed her with one look.

"Huh... F...Fine..." Larry stammered, replacing his coat nervously. "How about you Renee?"

"Great!" she responded, winking at me. "I'm sorry... Were you in the middle of something?"

"No..." Larry said, rubbing his forehead. "I was just about to go..."

"Renee!" I snapped.

"Sorry..." she laughed. "Larry how about a coffee?"

"Huh...Huh..." I stuttered, thinking that Renee was making fun of me by inviting Larry inside.

Right! She's in the mood for chatting with him... and I'm in the mood for...

"Okay..." Larry said, nodding.

We entered. I couldn't help but feel angry at Renee for interrupting us. But we had to enter eventually since I had forgotten my key somewhere. We sat down at the kitchen table while Renee was preparing some coffee. Larry smiled shyly at me. I could sense that he was feeling a little uncomfortable by Renee's presence. I responded to his smile with a blush. It was like I could still feel his hands on me, just by the way he was looking at me.

"Huh... Maybe I should go to my room." Renee finally said after a long moment of silence. "Here's your coffee Larry..."

"Thanks Renee." he said not taking a look at the cup but still staring at me.

"Good night Renee."

She got to her bedroom quicky after she gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"So..." Larry began, biting his lower lip. "Here we are."

"Yeah..."

He stood and took my hand in his, I approached slowly and raised my head to look at him. I touched his cheek tenderly and noticed how his eyes were sparkling. The way he was looking at me, made me feel precious.

"It's strange." he whispered with his incredible half smile. "I'm feeling a little nervous right now."

"Me too."

"I feel... torned right now" he admitted, softly. "A part of me wants to leave because of the case we're working on and because..."

I kissed him tenderly.

"The other part wants to stay." he finished.

"Then stay." I said, wrapping my arms around his neck. "I want to spend the night with you Larry."

"Oh...Okay..."

Larry loosened his tie and flashed me a sexy smile.

"You know... we could just BE together tonight... without really sleeping together." I proposed without conviction.

"Good idea. It would be a mistake to rush things..." Larry added, smiling.

I noded and led him to my bedroom. As soon as I closed the door I pulled him to me and started to unbotton his shirt. He laughed and asked in my ear.

"Ally... What are you doing?"

"I'm just..." I murmured in his neck. "hmm... helping you with those buttons."

"Right..."

"They're so tiny." I whispered kissing his lower lip.

He tried to kiss me but I moved my head back and finished to unbotton his shirt. He let me slid it down on his arms. With a shiver, I noticed how his chest was even more muscular than what I could remember.

"So we won't sleep together, we'll just..." he began with a sexy smile.

"Be together..." I whispered, running a finger on his chest.

He brought his lips to my neck and sensuously drop sweet kisses on my skin. He slowly began to move my shirt up as I was starting to undo his belt.

"Larry... What are you doing now?

"Taking off your shirt. Why?"

"Oh!" I let out, throwing his belt on the floor. "You want to help me with my pyjama? Hmm... because I'll need one if we have to share the same bed."

My shirt was now on the floor and Larry was staring at me with burning eyes.

"Do you seriously think that we could share the same bed without having sex?" he asked, making the strap of my bra fall on my shoulder.

"Who said anything about sex?" I asked with a shiver.

I felt his teeth teasing my shoulder. I moaned and started to slide down his pants with impatience. He ran his hand from my neck down to my chest and slowly lowered my bra. I was melting beneath his touch.

"I have to say that I love working with you Ally..." He whispered in my neck. "This case is very... interesting."

"Hmm..." I said, caressing his stomach. "You're a good... lawyer... Larry."

"Thank you."

Then he slid his hand sensuously to my breast and immediatly brought his lips on mine. My hands were already under his boxers, teasing him. A second after, he was lowering my pants down with a groan and pressing me against him. We made our way to my bed, our lips still sealed in a hungry kiss.

"Larry..." I moaned. "I think that we're about to have sex."

"What makes you think that?" he teased me, dropping a kiss on my breast.

"Hmm... I don't know..."

His hands reached my thighs and started to caress them. I groaned and pulled him over me.

"I don't want to have sex with you Ally..." He whispered in my ear.

"Okay..." I murmured sliding my tongue between his lips.

"I want to make love to you."

I nodded and smiled to him. He gently made my panties slide down on my thighs and moved on me. Our lips joined again and just couldn't go. It was like we didn't care to breathe. Larry was all that I needed. Soon, he was in me, his hands caressing me. We got carried away in the instant. It was just us together, discovering the other for the second time.

The next morning, I was in my office, trying to concentrate on the Andrews case when Larry entered. He stood there, leaning on the doorsteep.

"Knock. Knock." he said, smiling.

"Larry...Hey..."

"Hey!"

I got up and threw my arms around him. He kissed my nose softly and hugged my tightly.

We stood there a moment, smiling and feeling good in each others arms.

"I have to say that I'm totally unprepared for that case." Larry said in my neck. "I don't know why..."

I dropped a soft kiss on his lips and smiled brightly.

"Mr Andrews is waiting for us in the conference room with the profesionnal faker."

"Okay..." he whispered, fixing his glasses. "Even if we don't win this one... would you have dinner with me Ally?"

"A dinner and a breakfast." I said with a wink of the eye. "Now, we have to go."

"But before we go..." Larry said, pulling me closer to him and staring at me with tenderness. "I have to tell you something."

"Huh... What?" I asked, my heart missing a beat.

He touched my cheek softly and smiled.

"I love you Ally."

"Oh!" I gasped.

"That McDonald's sandwich thing was a joke." he explained softly. "I've been thinking about you all these years, clinging to the idea that one day we would be together again. I've always loved you."

"Larry..." I said tears filling up my eyes. "Oh... I.."

"Ssshhh... " he said, a finger on my lips. "Now... we're going to meet our client and his professionnal faker and we'll try win this case... Okay?"

"Okay."

I nodded and I slid my hand in his. He softly kissed my fingertips and we left my office to the conference room.

I had been waiting for Larry Paul all my life. I knew that there would always be a place for us in this world... That we had to be together no matter what... because it had to be that way... because we belong together.
