BACK Oh god� keep your hands away from her pants Carter.  And those straps tying her shirt onto her. 

This is too damn good to get stopped with her slapping me.

But� but� she wants this too, right?  She wouldn�t be doing this unless she knew we were about to start ripping each other�s clothes off and making love right here.  Right?  Maybe she�s just waiting for me to make the first move towards that?

No, she might just be trying to kill me.

And I�m completely helpless to stop it.

Her hands ran down my spine, leaving chills in their wake.  She didn�t move, her forehead resting against mine, staring into my eyes, maybe in fear that if she did move, it would push me over the edge.  Right now, she�s probably right�

Kissing me again, but pulling her head back before I was given the chance to deepen it, my hand subsequently falling out of her hair, she smiled at me, looking almost� content.

Her lips were slightly swollen and her cheeks were filled with color from where I�d been kissing her.

And now I get a glimpse of what she might look like when I�m done with her in bed.

Pouting up at me, she started batting her dangerously long eyelashes.

Because that�s really necessary to get me to do whatever you want me to.

�I thought I was gonna get to lick one of your tattoos.  Then you go off and try to make me not be able to breathe.�

Laughing at her dead-on imitation of a small child, I reached in to brush my lips against hers.

�God, I lo��

Whoa.

What the hell?

I�ve known this girl for maybe a total of twenty-four hours and I was about to tell her that I�

I felt my throat constricted.

Hoping to cover up my almost slip, I kissed her again and avoided her eyes.

Weird thing is, I think I meant it too.  It feels like I meant it.

��you drive me crazy.�

He didn�t almost say what I think he just almost said� did he?

Kara� don�t dwell on it.  Even if he did say it, you can�t believe him.  He�s probably told thousands of girls he loved them to get them to sleep with him.  And it�s not like I�m giving him many signs saying I wouldn�t be willing to sleep with him.

But why did he� stop?

�I try.�

With his cheeks a slightly darker shade of red than what they had been and his eyes full of panic, I grinned at him, trying to pretend that I didn�t catch what he almost did or didn�t say.

Shaking his head slightly, he moved his hands to sit on my thighs so he could look down at himself, surveying his own body art.

�So which one you want to start with?�

Kaaaaara� get out of this.  Why did you even suggest this?!

Because one of the most common thoughts in my head before I met him was �I want to lick his tattoos�, and now I�m in a situation where I can do just that� and I plan to.

�Not those.�

He looked puzzled.

�You do have a few more don�t you?�

Blinking a couple of times, he went into what appeared to be deep thought. 

He�s not very bright when he�s horny, is he?

Laughing at his perplexity, I unwrapped my legs from his waist, placing them on the floor so I still straddled his legs.  Rising to my knees, I looked over his shoulder to check that the ink hadn�t magically disappeared.

�Yeah, Nick.  I don�t know if you�re aware or not, but you have some back here too.�

Smartass.

Speaking of�

I reached up and pinched her ass, causing her to jerk against me in surprise.

If only she were still around my waist�

�Hey!�

Trying to look completely indignant but failing miserably due to the sparkle in her eye, she looked down at me, frowning.

�Why did you do that?!�

�Do what?�

Yes, play innocent.  See what she�ll do.  Play along with me, Kar.

�You just pinched my ass!�

�I did not!�

�You did.�

Kara punctuated her statement with a light slap against my chest.

�I think you have me mistaken for someone else.�

Damn it, the grin came out.

�There�s no one else in here!�

We both started cracking up.  Flinging her to the ground, making sure to protect her head as it hit the floor, I began to tickle her unmercifully.

�Okay, it was me.�

�You are so weird��

She gasped between laughter from beneath me before managing to push me over to my back, starting to attack me in the same manner.

I
bet we�d laugh a lot in bed.  Not the embarrassing type laughter, but� ya know, joking around, tickling each other� good in bed laughter.  I�ve always wanted to find a girl who I can joke around with during sex.  And foreplay.

Think I found her.

Before giving me a chance to return to my rightfully domineering place, she jumped up, giggling so her entire body shook.

Jumping to my feet, I chased after her, swinging her around in my arms once I caught her.  Realizing that, for the first time in forever, I was laughing so hard my body shook as well.

Wiggling from his arms, I ran towards the front of the bus, completely forgetting how disheveled I may look.


�Hi Steve!�

Climbing into the first row of seats, I hide in the floor.

�Having fun?�

�Shh!  I�m not here.�

I heard Nick�s footsteps moving hesitantly towards the doorway that blocked the seats from the living portion of the bus.

�Alright� we�re about twenty minutes from where I�m supposed to drop you off.�

Fuck.

�Hey, Steve� you see a little red-head in really hot leather pants run up here?�

Giggling insanely, I leaped from the floor, climbed over the back of the chair, and jumped onto Nick�s back.

�Never mind.  I think I found her.�

Walking backwards out of the room, I heard Steve laugh at us.

�Hi.�
