Sami: No, I think we've finished with this conversation, Lucas. I have nothing else to say about it.

Lucas: We're not finished with it until I say so.

Sami going to the door.

Sami: No, I -- Tony. ony:ony: Well, I've come to take you out.

Sami: Oh. Well, thank you, but, um, I'm really tired.

Tony: I know you've had a very hard day, but the least I can do for you is to take you out for dinner.

Sami: Well, thank you. I have nothing to wear. I --

Tony: Try this.

Sami: Tony, what did you -- oh, my god, it's beautiful. I have to try it on.

Sami leaves the room to try on the dress Tony bought her.

Tony: [Chuckling]

Lucas: You, uh... you mind telling me what you're up to.

Tony: I don't think I like your tone.

Lucas: No offense, all right? It's just…

Tony: Well, whatever I do with Sami is none of your concern.

Lucas: I was just wondering if you still feel guilty about her accident.

Tony: I came here because I like Sami and I wanted company.

Lucas: Oh, I see.

Tony: You seembe obe over here quite a bit.

Lucas: Well, we have a kid together, you know, and I live down the hall.

Tony: You're not even an ex-husband, are you?

Lucas: No, I'm not. Thank god. I mean Sami's loose cannon. I like to keep a close eye on her where Will is concerned.

Tony: Is that the only reason?

Lucas: You know, if it weren't for Will, I'd never set foot in this place.

Sami reenters the room wearing a beautiful red dress.

Sami: It fits perfectly.

Tony: She walks in beauty, like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies.

Lucas: Wait, wait. You can't go out like that.

Sami: Why not?

Lucas: Because you're a mother. You're not a…

Sami: A woman?

Tony: Ha ha ha. That was well said. Shall we? [Tony extends his arm out to Sami then turns his attention back to Lucas momentarily.] Oh, and by the way, I'd appreciate if you would finish the Tokyo report tonight.

Sami: Don't wait up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sami’s taunting remarks upon her departure with Tony for a dinner date kept replaying back in Lucas’ mind like a broken record. The more he thought about Sami being out with Tony while she was dressed so provocatively the angrier he became.

Lucas fumed inwardly while he compiled the Tokyo report for Tony thinking they just couldn’t dismiss him like he was some kind of servant. He jammed the various business papers into his briefcase and glanced over at the clock on the wall noticing that it was already past one am in the morning.

He paced restlessly around in his apartment debating whether or not he should go back over to Sami’s to make sure she had gotten safely back home from her date. He reached into the top desk drawer and withdrew the key to Sami’s apartment knowing exactly what he needed to do. He had procrastinated one time too many in revealing his true feelings for Sami and he was determined that he was going to confront Sami about going out with Tony before he let his jealously build any further.



One hour later…

“Thank you for the wonderful evening Tony,” Sami said as she fished out her keychain from her purse to open her apartment door.

“Are you sure I can’t interest you in returning to the mansion with me?” Tony offered up hopefully to Sami, “There’s no telling what else might come of this evening if you would accompany me to my home.”

“I’ve stayed out way too late as it is,” Sami regretfully replied. “I have to be up bright and early for work tomorrow at Basic Black.”

“Well then until next time,” Tony bent over to kiss Sami’s hand before she quickly retreated inside her apartment, not allowing Tony to follow her.

Sami breathed a sigh of relief after entering into her darkened apartment, wishing she had left a light on to find her way around easier when she suddenly remembered how swiftly she had exited her apartment. She could deal with fumbling in the dark for a few seconds as she reached out to turn on the lamp in her living because it served Lucas right to be left there standing with his mouth hanging open when she walked out the door with Tony. Sami gasped in surprise when the light filled the room to reveal a shirtless Lucas calmly sitting on her couch apparently waiting for her return home.

“What are you doing here Lucas?” Sami finally managed to get out as Lucas quickly got up and started directly towards her.

Lucas didn’t speak a word, his dark brown eyes smoldering with what appeared to be a mixture of anger and passion. Sami took a few steps backward, trying to get her bearings along with figuring out exactly what Lucas could be up to. She cautiously eyed his appearance, observing that his faded blue jeans were apparently the only item of clothing he was wearing and that was stating it lightly as they hung low on his slim hips with the top button already undone.

Lucas still made no attempt to answer her, his hot gaze fixed upon Sami not wavering the slightest bit from the time Sami had turned on the light in the living room. Sami nervously retreated away from his approaching figure until she abruptly found no more room to escape his presence as she came into direct contact with the wall.

Sami decided she wasn’t going to let Lucas intimidate her, “Lucas, I swear if you don’t leave right now, I’m going to…”

“Going to do what?” Lucas asked in a mocking tone as he boldly took the tip of one of his fingers and began to trace the outline of Sami’s low cut red dress where it snugly clung at her ample breasts. “Call the police maybe? No, I don’t think you need your daddy to come running over here at this time of night, do you?”

“Lucas, have you lost your mind?” Sami sputtered in shock as her nipples visibly hardened while Lucas kept lazily trailing his finger along the edge of the top of her dress.

“No, I’m as sane as I can be,” Lucas stopped what he was doing to Sami and his warm breath tickled her ear as he leaned in closer to her. He ran both of his hands down her sides to touch her hips and bring her into contact with his bulging arousal.

“I told you not to wait up for me,” Sami began to breathe raggedly as she had to steady herself by placing her hands on Lucas’ bare chest.

“I’m tired of taking orders from you Sami,” Lucas declared as he pressed Sami’s back against the wall, leaving her no doubt of the effect she had upon him. He pulled one strap of Sami’s dress down and paused momentarily, “Do you have any idea how much I didn’t want you to leave with Tony tonight?”

“If my leaving bothered you so badly then why didn’t you try harder to stop me from going?” Sami questioned as she felt the tension dangerously building between them with each passing second.

“Is that what you wanted me to do?” Lucas pushed down the other strap of her dress as the silky material of the garment fell to her waist.

“Maybe,” Sami honestly replied.

“So you’re admitting that you were trying to make me jealous,” Lucas began to place tiny love bites on Sami’s neck.

“What do you think?” Sami whispered as Lucas’ mouth closed over one of her taut nipples and she began to moan softly. Lucas took his time savoring the feel of her by going back from one breast to the other until Sami could no longer stand it. She entwined her fingers into his hair and tugged softly to lift his head up.

“I think you could be a tad bit jealous,” Sami lightly teased Lucas before she drew her mouth to his and felt the tip of his tongue trace her lips before he explored her mouth fully. The past few month’s of them almost kissing each other numerous times making the kiss that much sweeter when it finally occurred.

Their kisses grew in intensity, both seeking to fulfill the desperate yearning that had over taken them. The realization that they wanted to be with each other was powerful. They continued kissing feverishly until Lucas reluctantly pulled back, “Samou nou need to be sure this is what you want before we go any further. I don’t want you to accuse me of taking advantage of you in the morning.”

Sami let the rest of her dress slip off onto the floor and stood before him only clad in her lacy panties, confident of the decision she was about to make, one that would change the entire course of her future. She pulled Lucas back to her and ran her hands over his chest and along his stomach until she came into contact with his jeans. She slowly unzipped them to allow his manhood to come into her view. She tentatively touched Lucas, “The only thing I’m going to accuse you of is being a tease if you don’t finish what you started.”

“I certainly wouldn’t want you to do that,” Lucas bantered back with Sami as he peeled her panties away from her body and divested himself of his jeans. “Would you rather we continue this in your bedroom or stay in here?”

“I think beds are highly overrated,” Sami grinned as she leaned back against the wall and curved her finger in invitation for him to come closer.

“You could be right about that,” Lucas agreed as he touched his body to hers once more.

Sami giggled softly as she wrapped her arms around Lucas’ neck, “We might have to do some extensive research to find out exactly which room is the best place to make love in.”

“Let’s get started then because I’ve got a few places I’d be interested in trying out,” Lucas suggested wickedly as he began to kiss Sami’s neck and they began testing out their theory.

The End
