Kaylee slowly opened her eyes and tried to adjust them to the darkness. She felt a small smile form as she remembered where she was and who it was next to her on the couch.

True to his word, Kevin never moved all night. He had eventually fallen asleep and at some time during the night he turned toward Kaylee, with his one arm over her and his leg tossed over hers...his hard chest against her back.

Well now, she thought, I got a problem...the bathroom is over there and I gotta go....but...I don't want to wake Kevin up....so......let's see...think Kaylee.

She gently lifted his arm, turned onto her back, and attempted to sit up.
Just then his arm wrapped around her again, and his leg tightened as he muttered, "don't you move...."

Kaylee sighed and looked down at him. "Kevin...I have to move...I need to use the bathroom....
undo me...," she said with a giggle.

"No," he mumbled, as he tightened his grip, "can't......don't wanna......nope......ain't gonna..."

"Aw geez Kev...sweetie..don't say that...I really NEED to get up...now move over you big lovable oaf."

With that said, she gave him a shove.

Kaylee honestly did not realize how close to the edge of the couch he was until she heard the thud.....followed by "shit".

"Oh my God...Kevin...I'm sorry....," she slid off the couch onto the floor where Kevin had been so unceremoniously "dumped".  His face buried in his arms, he never moved.

"Kevin....are you ok," she whispered as she inched up his body, "talk to me...say something....Kevin....I'm so sorry.....c'mon...say I'm a doofus...say anything...just don't be mad."

It was then that she noticed his shoulders start to shake and he was now laughing outloud.

"Oh....that's it...Kevin Richardson...you big shit you," she said as she dropped herself down on his backside and sat there smacking his shoulders.

"Baby...aaahh...please....THAT hurt more than fallin' off the couch," he said, his voice strained, while he tried to catch his breath. She had no way of knowing that he had been in the middle of a very erotic dream, involving her, and it had left him aroused.....VERY aroused. And, that "arousal" was now the source of considerable pain!

"Well..forget it!  I'm NOT sorry...," was all she got out of her mouth before Kevin had flipped over onto his back and propped himself on his elbows.

The combination of the soft light from the bathroom, and the moonlight shining in through the balcony door cast a glow on his face, making Kaylee gasp. Sometime during the night, his ponytail had come undone and his hair was now in a tangle around, and in, his face. The way he was looking at her made her heart leap to her throat and her breath hitch.

"You...are not sorry," he said in a hushed voice as he slowly sat up and took hold of her arms, "you are
soooo not sorry. In fact, I think you kinda enjoyed it..seeing me fall on my ass like that."

"No Kevin...," she found it hard to even breath let alone talk, "I am sorry....really....."

"Really now....so you say," he whispered, as he pulled her down so that she was laying on top of him. His hands cupped her face and his lips were so close to hers as he continued to speak. "You're really sorry, huh," his lips now against her cheek.

"N...no...," she tried to answer as his lips captured hers in a gentle kiss, "no...well.....maybe...."

"No...maybe," his lips moving across to her ear where he slowly and gently sucked on her earlobe, "which is it...are you sorry or not."

"Y..yy...yeah.....I am....," she replied in a breathless whisper, heat radiating through her body. Dear God, she thought, as he drew his tongue sensually down her neck while sliding his hands down her arms and across her back.
She slid her hands into his hair as she lifted his head back up to hers. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes had darkened to a deep shade of green.

"Kevin....," she whispered into his ear, feeling him shiver, "we have a
conversation to finish...and I think it's time...."

She turned her lips to his just as he said, "the
word conversation is over baby...kiss me.....talk to me with your kiss...."

He pressed his mouth against hers and slid his tongue across her lips. As their tongues met Kevin felt his head start to spin. This was different than the other times they'd kissed. Her tongue danced with his...tasting...teasing.
He slid his hands up and under her tee shirt feeling her skin against his hands.  She broke their kiss and drew her tongue along his jaw ... placing kisses across his neck as she ran her hands down his strong arms and back up to his chest.  He slid his hands down to her hips where he held her as he slowly started to move against her, making her very aware of what he felt...what he wanted.  He moaned outloud as she started to meet his movements....as she rocked her hips against his.

Kevin felt as though time was standing still. He never wanted to move. He had never felt these sensations. Every nerve in his body was on overload. He needed more....he wanted more.....

"Kaylee....baby," he said, his voice deep and filled with desire, "what are you doing to me.....I
want you......I want you so bad....," his hips moving harder against her. "What do you want...tell me and I'll do it baby....I'd do anything for you...," he whispered against her neck.

"Kev.....Kevin," she said barely able to speak. She pulled her head back to look him in the eyes. She saw the desire in his eyes and knew that he had to see it reflected back in hers.  "I...I don't know....."

"Baby...if you want....I'll stop....if you want to keep going....I'll love you so good......," he said as he reached up and gently touched her cheek. He saw the conflict in her eyes. The desire tinged with fear. He saw his answer.

He pulled her head down under his chin...and let out a deep sigh.

"It's my turn to apologize.....I'm so sorry Kaylee....I don't want to push you into something that's not....that you......that.....aw shit....if you're not ready...then it's not right."

"God Kevin....you don't need to apologize to me...believe me......I want this too.....but....I just don't know...I'm sorry....," her voice breaking with emotion.

He gently slid from under her...and slowly got to his knees, pulling her up into his embrace. "Don't cry...you cried enough tonight....ssshh....," he whispered, as he took her hands and stood, bumping his forehead to hers..and lifting her hands to his chest.

"Darlin'...we got time," his voice filled with tenderness, "the tour's done in 2 weeks.....and we'll have all the time we need. I plan on stayin' in your face...you ain't gonna get rid of me easily."

"Damn...," she said between sniffles, "so much for my plans....I'm stuck with you, huh?"

"Kaylee...baby....you are stuck with me.....you're stuck with me because I have you in here," he said while placing her hand on his heart, "you have captured me totally....you own my heart Miss Barrone....," he kissed her gently, "I pray that you'll hold onto it...."

"Well...damn you again Richardson....you say the most beautiful things. And, all I can do is cry. But, I'll tell you this......I don't plan on letting go...."

He hugged her tightly to him and then pulled away, sitting back on the couch.  Kaylee started to laugh when she remembered what had started this all in the first place.

"Good God.......the bathroom.....be right back," she giggled as she ran into the bathroom and shut the door.

Kevin stretched out on the couch and smiled. Even with everything that happened tonight, he thought, I still lose control with her. She makes me crazy.....what the hell am I going to do......and you .. yeah you down there...we gotta be patient....can't rush this one....she's too special...so just back off. Fuck...talking to it again Kev...this cannot be normal .....

Before he knew it....she was standing beside the couch. Kaylee looked at him laying there and smiled. His hair was still in his face, he had one arm up over his head....and one long leg thrown over the back of the couch...god does he have the muscles, she thought as she let out a long breath.

"Hey woman....you gonna stand there all night...or you coming back to me," and before she could answer, he reached up and pulled her down onto him  wrapping his arms around her and bringing his leg down over her. He kissed the top of her head, as she sighed.

"Kevin...I heard you singing before...your voice is beautiful.....could you....please," she was suddenly embarrassed to ask him, "ummm..would you sing to me again?"

"Baby..I said it before...I'd do anything for you...whatever you want," he said as he kissed her a second time, his words to her triggering something from long ago in his head. And, it suddenly didn't matter who's song it was...whether it was someone else's or one of theirs....it meant something...something from deep in his heart.  For once in his life, Kevin understood the meaning behind the words......

"I'd walk halfway around the world...for just one kiss from you....
Far beyond the call of love...the sun, the stars, the moon....
As long as your love's there to lead me....I won't lose my way believe me...
Even through the darkest night you know....
."

She smiled up at him as he kissed her nose and she put her head back on his chest.


"I'd go anywhere for you...anywhere you asked me to...
I'd do anything for you...anything you want me to...
your love as far as I can see..is all I'm ever gonna need...
there's one thing for sure I know it's true.....
Baby I'd go anywhere for you..."

In those few moments when the meaning of the words hit Kevin, he knew...this woman in his arms....he truly would do anything..or go anywhere for her.

"I used to think that dreams were just...for sentimental fools...
And I'd never find someone...who'd give their love so true....
But I knew the very minute...couldn't live my life without you in it...
Now I want the whole wide world to know......."


As his gentle soft voice, and the rhythym of his heart lulled her to sleep...she never heard the last few sounds of his voice...

"I'd go anywhere for you....anywhere you asked me to....
I'd do anything for you....anything you want me to....
your love as far as I can see...is all I'm ever gonna need....
there's one thing for sure I know it's true.....
Baby I'd go anywhere for you......."

"I would baby...God knows I would...I love you......."
