"LUCAS!" Sam shouted just as her and Katie stepped around the corner of their apartment street.

"Sam! Shut up! I didn't tell you so you could be a walking advertisement!" Katie scolded her loud mouthed roommate.

"Sorry" She said, looking around "But, I mean. That is a bragging right. He is hot. I mean, the way he wears those jeans, he is practically begging to be thrown down and f-"

Katie rolled her eyes but couldn't help feel thrilled at Sam's appraise.

"Jesus, I seriously think you were born with the wrong set of chromosomes sometimes."

"Oh please, everyone thinks this way, I just say it out loud."

Katie sighed, knowing Sam had a point. "Well anyway, how many other girls felt bragging rights? I'm just another number to him. Let's face it, I mean, girls like me don't get guys like Lucas! I get guys like Jason, Kevin and Cedric."

"I have hated every guy you seriously dated." Sam pondered thoughtfully "Jason was a slob, Kevin acted like he was 5 and just found his dick and Cedric still hasn't found his dick."

Katie cracked up. Sam had a way with words unlike anyone she'd ever met. It was by sheer luck that they happened to become roommates. They sat by each other at University orientation for the Masters in Library Science program, got to talking and Sam needed a room while Katie needed a roommate. They met their other roommate Maddy by finding a flyer asking for two roommates and offered ridiculously low rent. Katie forfeited her security deposit at the other place and they moved in with Maddy that week. The rest was history.

"Yes I know, we've spent many a night talking of our distastes in each other's male companions. Need I bring up George?" Katie asked, deliberately making Sam's eye twitch. Sam was weary of the male population as a whole because of George. Now, Sam just talked about men like they were meat, yet if one approached they would be bombarded with sarcasm and indifference.

"Touche, asshole." Sam paused for a moment, then started jumping up and down "So, all that aside. How was he?" Sam had a devilish smile on her face that made Katie both laugh and blush. "Come on! You can't hold this information back on me. You silently agreed to spill everything the moment you uttered his name."

Katie sighed "Good Lord, you are sick. Living vicariously through my sexual conquests, are we?" Katie was stalling but knew she was going to tell Sam everything. Sam didn't forget about this stuff.

"Oh please, you get laid less than I do. Now, shut up and keep talking"

Katie's cheeks flushed deep red. " Ugh! Ok. Fine. It was....fucking amazing." Katie said and wondered how much longer until she had that long awaited cup of coffee.

Katie froze in mid-step, unwilling to move another inch.

"Ok, now give me the details." Sam said, turning to the absence of Katie. She looked back at a face frozen and pale. "What?" Sam exclaimed, her beautiful features contorted in confusion.

Katie looked at Sam and violently shoved her into an antique store. A loud bell rang and an old woman's voice shouted "Hello!"

"Katie, what the..."

"Lucas! He is going into OUR coffee place! Great, now I can never go to our favorite coffee place, it's forever tainted." She sighed and cursed herself "I'm never having another one night stand. Great sex is not worth our sacred coffee place."

Katie and Sam jumped when the old woman cleared her throat. Yeah, she just heard that.

"Anything I can help you ladies with?" The old woman said with a less than approving tone. Her eyes seared into Katie as though she had a scarlet letter across her chest.

"Um, yes. I'm looking for a.....ummmm..." Katie searched for any word to come to her head "Dress makers doll. I've been looking all morning and I can't find a good, used dressmaker's form."

The woman's eyes lit up "Oh! Well, you are in luck dear! I have beautiful one just over here"

Sam looked at Katie in confusion, and all Katie could do was shrug.

The lady turned around and got lost in the abyss of old rocking chairs and tables with chipping paint. They promptly bolted out of the door and ran a few stores down. It was mean, but Katie wasn't about to be guilted into buying a dress form. But, then again, Maddy would have loved it. Oh well.

"Is he gone?" Sam asked

"I don't know! What if he is meeting someone there or something?"

"Relax." Sam said "I will get our coffees and you will go to the doughnut shop and buy me a banana nut muffin because I am an amazing friend who just happens to love nuts." Katie laughed and thanked whoever was looking down on the world that she had someone like Sam to deal with these situations.

As Sam left, Katie's mind wondered straight into last night's memories that she was trying so hard not to think about...

**************

She padded bare foot out of the bathroom, sheet wrapped around her.

"Your bathroom is surprisingly clean for a guy's. Does your mother come to clean it?" She crawled onto the bed, clutching the sheet tight to her naked body. Her buzz was wearing off along with the confidence in her naked form.

"No, surprisingly." He grabbed at the sheet and pulled while Katie fought in vain. "You see, I had a master plan. I cleaned it beforehand because I followed you to that French bakery..."

"Shut up! You did not" He finally stripped the sheet from her grasp much to her chagrin and threw it across the room. She scrambled off the bed to get retrieve it just to annoy him but he tackled and pinned her to the bed, leaving her immobile. Lucas buried his stubbled chin into her neck while she squealed and fought.

"That hurts!" She laughed while weakly fending him off. Somehow pushed him hard enough to make him fall off of the bed. She heard a loud thump and a groan.

"Oh my god!" Katie exclaimed "Are you ok?" She couldn't' see a thing as she looked over the edge of the bed and no noise sounded either. Then, suddenly, his hand gripped her arm and pulled her down on top of him none too gracefully. It took her a moment to situate herself but once she did, she started playfully pinching and lightly hitting while he fended her off.

"Do you think Frodo is going to be jealous because you aren't spending enough time with him?" She joked while they grappled.

"Ohhh, I see how it is." He said as he tickled her sides. She squealed again and giggled until the front door to the apartment slammed shut. Katie's laughing stopped and she eyed Lucas with a questioning stare.

"Hello?" A belligerent male voice called out.

"Shit!" Lucas tensed and his face had a deep look of concern. Katie panicked. "It's Buffy! Hell has opened up and it's up to you to close it, Katie!" She went back to hitting him instantly.

"No, It's Frodo! He's come to fight me to the death for your affections!"

He rolled Katie over and they started kissing again. He pulled away suddenly, studied her face and smoothed her hair back. "What?" She said softly. Katie fought hard to not get lost in his stare and she wrecked her brain for something to break the moment. "Are you wondering if I would object plastering on elf ears?" She said seriously. His gaze lightened and they started kissing again.

*****************

"What took you so long?" Katie snatched the hot coca from Sam's hand and took a sip "Oh." She said and glanced at the cup. "Wow. They got it the right temperature! Shocking."

"This d-bag ordered like 19 coffees and the left side of the pastry case. Needless to say, it took a while." Sam paused "Now hand me my delicious, nutty sensation and let's get down to dirty details before we get on the bus"

Katie didn't want to talk about the night. By talking about it, she would be acknowledging just how amazing it was, how it would never happen again, and how stupid she felt for doing it.

But she had to because Sam would never drop it.

"Well, we went to his place, obviously. The moment we walked in, well even before that, we were attached at the mouth and blindly making our way to his room..."

Katie slammed Lucas against the hallway wall one more time and he moaned. They did this off and on through the entire walk. He pulled away and dragged her to his front door. She had her hands all over him which seemed to make him fumble with his keys.

Once inside, he pulled her close and picked her up by the waist while whirling her around. They were knocking things over trying to make it to his room, but neither one paid any attention.

His bedroom door swung wide open and their hands were frantic, mouths devouring flesh. They wasted no time to claw off each other's clothing until they were both naked. Lucas unexpectantly picked up Katie and wrapped her legs around his waist. He slammed her up against the wall and she went crazy, brutally devouring his mouth, her hands demanding and sadistic. His teeth ran along her collar bone, followed by impatient kisses travelling up to her ear. "How do you like to be fucked?" He whispered, the air of his breath rinsing over her spine.

Breathless and horny as hell, Katie couldn't find the words to respond. No one had ever asked before nor did it ever occur to her to specify.

He gave her soft kisses on the throat, awaiting her answer. He smiled against her ear "Are you getting shy on me?" Katie didn't know what to say. She didn't even think people actually did dirty talking. Wasn't that just in porn? But, at the moment, she didn't care.

"I want to be on top" She shot back and thinking about all the other things she wanted to whisper in his ear. And, before she knew it, they weren't thoughts anymore, they soft spoken promises making him so hard blood no longer pumped anywhere but south and she swore he blushed just a bit. Katie gripped his hair and hovered over his mouth, coming in so close for a kiss then backing away. Her finger traced along his flushed bottom lip then carefully ran it over his tongue. Lucas's eyes were heavy and glazed over she noticed as her gaze slowly came up from his mouth. She gave him a lazy yet sexy as fuck grin.

He lost it and violently dropped her on the bed, soon crashing his weight down onto her. Katie didn't want foreplay or playful rolling around, she just wanted to fuck and wanted it more than she ever wanted to in her life. They grinded against each other furiously and Katie had finally had enough. She shoved him on his back, and gripped him while a deep, nearly feral look swept over her eyes. His back shot straight up, catching her off guard and flipped her over again while swallowing her protests with an invasive kiss that melted her.

Lucas blew in her ear while his hand smoothed over her mound. She clawed at him, wanting so badly for him to just fuck her, but he didn't. Lucas continued to lick her ear lobe then blow in rhythm with one finger threatening to end the wait that she was mentally begging for.

"Fuck, I can't wait to taste you" He whispered, micking her earlier teasing kiss. She was whimpering underneath his lips, clawing at his back and her mind was lost in the craving.

"I want you inside of me" she whispered against his mouth, hating how desperate she sounded for him. Helplessness, greed, and desire danced over her face but he seemed to enjoy every bit of it.

"We have all night for that" He retorted, and placed soft kisses along her throat, her collar bone and kept trailing down. His mouth gently sucked her nipple, so soft it was torture then scraped his teeth over one, then moved to the other. Katie writhed and moaned and hated how he was dragging it out yet didn't even think about telling him to stop. Their eyes met as his tongue flattened over hardened nipple. She bucked and twisted beneath him. But, again, he didn't stop.

Katie couldn't handle the torture as his mouth trailed down, tongue circling her belly button and his gaze traveling up every so often....



"Whoa. He went down on you right off the bat?" Sam exclaimed, once again is a public area. "Why didn't you marry him right then? Or was he bad at it? I swear George thought that giving a girl head was like bobbing for apples"

"I don't really know how I feel about the analogy, Sam" Katie said, stuffing a piece of warm lemon pound cake in her mouth.

"Well, my vagina can tell you in graphic detail how she feels about it"

"I wouldn't say he was bad, per say. He was.... I don't know...adequate? Let's just say it's not his strong suit. It got the ball rolling but it didn't shatter the glass."

"Mmmm, I would have expected better."

"Well, when he went... down on me it was weird. Like he kept switching techniques and it was so hard to enjoy any one thing because right when I would start to enjoy it, he would start doing something else. And then when I finally got him away from that area, down south was like a humid summer of saliva"

"That's when you start to give him orders. They love that shit. Plus, you can't be too wet down there. I don't know about you, but I don't have an endless supply. Sometimes a little extra goes a long way."

"Well, I can assure you that there is such a thing as too wet and I've never had an issue with supply shortages. But, anyway, I was too turned on to care and let it ruin the whole mood. Plus, he is the best kisser hands down, to the point where it was enough to keep the momentum going"

"Fuck me" Sam interjected with a mouth full of muffin...

"I have to go to the bathroom. Do you?" Katie blurted out as they walked down to the market.

"After that story introduction, I need a private room and a cigarette." Katie rolled her eyes, amused at Sam's endless humor.

"Well, bathroom first. Carcinogens and nicotine second."

Over the of course of walking through Pike Place, Katie told Sam every detail of the night. Well, not every detail, but the major points were covered.

They decided to have lunch at their favorite hidden Pike Place eatery: Maximillion's. Katie glanced through the window that overlooked the sound while Sam devoured her soup and sandwich. Out of nowhere, Sam's phone buzzed and the whole table practically shook with it.

"Jesus, that freaked the shit out of me" Katie said, hand on her upper chest, mouth full of artisan ham sandwich.

"Well, that's what you get for day dreaming about hot sex" Sam read the text and frowned "Maddy is pissed she didn't get invited to our Market adventure"

"She had to work!" Katie said defensively.

"Mmmm, well we will just do a full blown girls night and she will forget all about it. Hopefully." Sam gave Katie a once over. "Maybe after all that testosterone, you could use one too" She smiled and winked.

Later that night, all three girls sat in their living room, 90% of which was decorated with items Maddy sewed herself. She was also an amazing cook, evident by the delicious food that covered the coffee table. Maddy looked like a typical Seattle hippie. She wore weird shirts from Threadless.com, cut up jeans, those long knitted cardigans and usually sported one of those knitted caps to tame her unruly hair. But, she was far from a hippie: she never recycled, ate meat like a caveman and absolutely hated Whole Foods (that was a topic you never brought up around Maddy).

"So, I want to hear all about this Lucas!" She pleaded while sucking down a daiquiri "Jesus I make a brilliant daiquiri. Paula Dean can suck it"

Katie blushed and rolled her eyes. "There isn't much to tell. We drank wine, laughed a lot, got drunk and screwed each other's brains out. Then, naturally, I left while he was still sleeping soundly. I figured I'd get out of there before he treated me like..."

"Like a used diaper" Sam finished, sitting on the floor in front of the coffee table. She wore one of her usual University of Washington t-shirts. Sam had an extensive collection because she always wore them when she worked out, which was every day except Monday. When she wasn't in a workout shirt, wore the usual popular clothing brand graphic tees and probably a hoodie.

"Thank you, Sam. Graphic yet oddly appropriate. As always." Katie popped a potato skin in her mouth and washed in down with a small sip of daiquiri. She was trying to take it easy with the alcohol, given last night.

"Naturally" Sam shrugged, copied Katie with the potato skin and drink. Sam rarely drank and if she did, it was wine. But, Maddy could make anything so well that Sam couldn't resist.

"So how was he?" Maddy asked while gendering at all her calorie loaded options that covered the coffee table. The pizza had yet to arrive and really top off the unhealthy buffet they had going.

"Well, the sex was inconceivably ... fantastical. Like hotter than William Hurt and Kathleen Turner in Body Heat. "

"Oooo, good analogy. Great visuals are coming to mind. What about other sexual skills? Like his tongue, hands, mouth, teeth, etc"

Katie shrugged and pondered the foods options too. "His oral skills weren't the best, but all other categories reach critical acclaim."

"That's disappointing. Is there more alcohol?" Maddy asked as she licked the edge of her glass like a 5 year old. Katie wondered what got into Maddy that she was downing drinks like Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas but she didn't ask. No reason to spoil her fun.

"Of course" Sam said, getting up and strutting into the kitchen with Maddy following. Just then, a loud knock sounded.

"Oh! It's the pizza!" Maddy exclaimed from the kitchen.

"Katie, will you answer?" Sam yelled "I can't answer the door while fisting a gallon of Vodka without a cigarette and stained tube top to compliment."

Katie jumped up and grabbed the piled of cash. She opened the door wide while carefully counting the huge stack of ones they scoured the apartment for. "Hi" She said, giving a quick glance up only to find Lucas, without a pizza or breadsticks in his hand, standing there with a beaming smile on his face. That stupid, sexy as hell smile that made Katie's head turn to mush. Her face turned pale. Or hideously red. She couldn't decide which one.

"Uhhh, Lucas. Hi" Her eyes darted around. "Um, I thought you had pizza. I mean we ordered pizza and I thought you had it. I mean I thought someone would have pizza. Not you, but someone else. I wasn't expecting you. I mean why would you be carrying a pizza unless you were a delivery guy, which you aren't. Or maybe you are. But if you were you'd have the pizza and I would be giving you money..."

"Katie!" Sam yelled "You sound stupid, stop rambling!"

"Right. That's my roommate Sam."

"I see" Lucas finally said, staring at Katie so hard she didn't know what to do. "Can we talk? Maybe go get coffee or something?" He said reluctantly, as if afraid he might say the wrong thing.

Katie got the deer in headlights look and froze, just staring right at Lucas."Ummm, uhhhh, well." A hard slap on the shoulder pulled Katie from her trance. "Hello, you must be Lucas" Sam said loudly "Why don't you come in?"

Katie moved at the instruction of Sam and let Lucas walk in. Sam led him down the small hallway and into the living room. Katie followed, feeling like a total fucking moron for just standing there while he talked to her. Nice, why don't you just throw yourself at him again? Seeing the look of disgust on his face would really top off my weekend, she thought.

"Lucas, this is our living room, kitchen, eating area and just upstairs are the more interesting parts of our place. And, of course, this is our slightly buzzed but still very weird in general, roommate Maddy." Katie stood behind while Sam talked, mentally gearing herself up for recovery mode.

Maddy chugged down another glass and waved followed by a deep burp.

"Lucas! Ah, I've heard so much about you!" Maddy jumped up, mouth edged with daiquiri goodness, stumbled slightly and enthusiastically threw her arms around Lucas. Katie prayed Maddy would skip a kiss on the cheek.

He played it off, but the look on his face was shock and mouthed 'what do I do?' to Katie. Sam shrugged and mouth 'I don't know".
Maddy pulled away. "You are so cute" She said as she touched the tip of his nose with her finger. "Katie has been raving about you alllllll night." She said business with a suggestive eye brow raise and stupid smile. " But, I hear you need to work on..." Sam jumped in and covered Maddy's mouth while dragging her away from a confused Lucas.

Katie quickly interjected "Let's talk in my room. Less distractions!" Katie gave Maddy the look of death and marched up the stairway to her room, Lucas close on her heals.

"Leave the door open!" Sam yelled "We love overhearing inappropriate comments and moaning!" Maddy cracked up.

Katie mouth 'I'm going to fucking kill you' to Sam and Lucas coughed down a laugh.

As Lucas walked in and took in every inch of her room. It was pretty big considering it wasn't the master. Dozens of picture collages decorated the walls along with art work, a calendar and a full length mirror. The room was fairly clean except for the random clothing thrown about the room. He paused and picked up a stuffed pig with a top hat and cane attached to it.

He eyed her "Do I want to know?" He asked.

"I'm just going to guess no. And ignore Maddy. She is drunk and just crazy in general, you have to know her to get her crazy sense of humor." Katie looked at Lucas with great concern trying to gauge whether he was buying it or not. He wasn't objecting...yet. "All we've talked about was her... umm.... break up, hence the alcohol and excessive calorie loaded coffee table. We don't usually eat like that. Anyway, um, what did you want to talk about?" She paused again as a curious thought invaded her mind "And, more importantly, how did you know where I live?"
