diabolical

______________________________________________________

Amy's heart was beating about a thousand miles per hour as a result of the kiss...

God, it had positively taken her breath away. She could hardly believe Adam had kissed her - not that she was complaining. It was jsut that, despite the palpable electricity between the two of them, and the innuendos swirling around all night, she still hadn't expected it. And she was feeling mighty silly for that.

Adam gazed fondly down into her eyes, his right hand up by her head, and he very gently moved a lock of her red hair away from her face.

Amy bit her lip, relieved her knees weren't knocking together as she noted the desire in the tall blond man's green eyes. She couldn't believe how nervous she was feeling. This was Adam - her great friend. She'd known him four years now, done everything with him (well, come now - not *everything*!), had always felt perfectly at ease around him.

So, why was she now feeling so intimidated? Maybe it had to do with the fact that, up until now, all they'd been was friends. Tonight was something different, and, instinctively, she knew she would be going to bed with him. It would change everything. Not that it was a *bad* thing. As she gazed into those amazing emerald eyes, the redhead knew for certain that she wanted him. In fact, she couldn't resist even if she wanted to... But then, she *didn't* want to resist. He had her completely under his spell. And then, the Canadian grinned and she just about melted. Her heart hammered like a jackhammer in her chest as a few seconds later, Adam slid his hand from the lock of her hair to her chin. He tipped her head up gently, again lowering his head to capture her lips.

Amy's head was nearly spinning as she kissed him back ardently, her arms going up to encircle his neck. His fine blond hair was soft in her fingers as they tangled into it and she gently tugged at it. If possible, this kiss seemed to be even more passionate than the first one had been.

Oh, God... She was falling deeper - definitely falling in love with this gorgeous and charming man.

When the kiss was broken, the redhead again gazed up at the blond man adoringly.

Adam's handsome face wore a grin as he gazed down into her hazel eyes. She looked more beautiful to him than ever - and he knew without a doubt that she wanted him. Oh she was smitten all right. But then again, so was he...

He licked his lips as he caressed her cheek with his palm, then reluctantly moved his large hand off of her face. As badly as he wanted her - his need was so fierce, it actually pained him - he wouldn't be getting into her bed tonight. It wasn't quite the right time. Nonetheless, Adam held the cliche 'good things come to those who wait' near and dear to his heart. Besides, waiting awhile longer would only make his first time with Amy that much better. The sexual tension and anticipation would definitely make for more satisfying sex with her.

He couldn't wait...

The redheaded diva seemed to be speechless as he cocked his head.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow?"

Amy arched a brow at the question, which told the blond man that he'd thrown her completely off guard.

The beautiful diva nodded.

"Okay..."

Adam smiled softly, then took hold of one of the redhead's hands, pressing a kiss to the back of it.

"Have a good night..." With that, he started down the hallway to his own hotel room - leaving a shocked Amy in his wake.
