Shady Business by Silver MoonAngel -------------------------------------------------------------------- STANDARD DISCLAIMER APPLIES -------------------------------------------------------------------- Serena threw herself into a chair and sighed. Thanks to Darien, she passed the night tossing and turning, dreaming of the way he had held and kissed her. "Get out of my mind," she groaned to the empty room. Darien stood in the doorway and chuckled. Serena's night hadn't been any better than his. Of course, he had been dreaming of all the things he would do to her once she was in his bed. Clearing his throat, he asked, "Serena, will you join me for dinner tonight?" Arching her eyebrow as she turned in her chair, Serena looked at him. He was dressed casually in jeans and a T-shirt, his glossy hair tousled like he had just gotten out of bed. Serena looked at him as if she wanted to eat him for dinner. "Why, so you can lure me into your clutches? Thanks, but no thanks." Darien took a few steps into the room. Her words didn't fool him. He knew she wanted him, could feel that she wanted him. He moved in front of her chair and put his hands on the armrests. "Somehow I don't think you'd mind too much. Especially given last night..." Serena's face turned red in anger. "You pompostic ass! For that comment, you can go straight to hell! Do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars." Serena crossed her arms tightly over her chest and swung her leg out, almost catching him. Darien backed a few paces. Her slim, smooth leg had come inches away from making sure that his greatest wish wouldn't come true. Gazing at her sparkling eyes, Darien bluntly asked, "What's your dress size? 6?" Before she could answer, he said, "I expect you to dressed well, Serena." Leaning in, he nibbled at her neck and said, "I expect tonight will change a few things for you." Serena couldn't hold herself in check any longer. Almost with a will of their own, her arms snaked around his neck and pulled him down for a kiss. Serena managed to get him to open his mouth and stick her tongue inside. This wasn't an opportunity Darien couldn't pass up. He pulled her out of the chair and on top of him. The woman he had wanted for so long wanted him, actually wanted him. Her lithe, lean body was pressed up against his in a hedonistic manner, rubbing and grinding every single inch of him. Serena felt herself being flipped over and pinned beneath Darien. Now, it would happen. She moaned as Darien's hands snaked their way up her shirt to caress her breasts. She felt trapped in a delicious torrent of desire, waiting to burst into flames. Darien slid his lips down her throat, evoking little sighs and moans from Serena. She was hotly grinding herself against him, proving to him that he could have her now. "Serena, are you sure you want this now?" Serena looked up at him with nearly violet eyes and passion swollen lips. Did she want this? Boy did she ever! "Of course I want this. I wouldn't have started it if I didn't mean to finish it." "Serena," Darien yelped when her hands reached a sensitive spot. Moving her hands and kissing her, he said, "I'm going to move to far and to fast for you if you do that." Serena kissed him back. Dropping her voice to a whisper, Serena said, "Darien make love to me." Darien removed the rest of her clothing and all of his. "Serena," he said in a strained voice, "This is going to hurt at first." Seeing her nod, he gave her both pain and bliss. * * * Serena lay there panting. Who knew it could be like this? She looked up at Darien and saw her amazement reflected in his eyes. It had been a mind-blowing experience for him as well. It had never been like this. Darien chalked it up to the fact that he had wanted her for so long and finally got her. That or the three year sabbatical from sex. "Serena? Are you okay?" Serena slowly nodded her head. She looked at him and realized that things were never going to be the same.
