So I will help you read those books, if you will soothe my worried looks
Who: Sloane and Will
When: 5:30PM
Where: Bowling Alley

After waking up and trying hard to remember what kind of dream would cause her to do what she did that morning, Sloane showered and promptly tore her closet apart. Everything she owned was either too fancy or too laid back or too something. Frustrated and excited, she threw on some clothes and went shopping for the perfect dress because she was going to do this right, damn it. It took Will well over 10 years to finally ask her out and she didn't want anything to go wrong.

When she got home and tried on her dress it was already 4:30 and Sloane was rushing around trying to get herself presentable. Pulling her hair back into a messy bun, putting on a touch of makeup and slipping into her dress, she waited anxiously for him to show up. The butterflies in her stomach had been going strong since she'd woken up, with only a few break here and there. As she tried in vain to make herself calm down and stop the blush that was creeping up on her, she paced the length of her apartment. Sloane had deja vu; she'd done this same thing only with less nerves the previous night and she felt momentarily guilty, she was never one to juggle men.

There was a knock at the door and Sloane swallowed hard, her stomach doing one great big flop before going still. All butterflies dead and gone. Walking to the door, she opened it and smiled. "Hey,"

It had been around twelve years, give or take some time, since Sloane had been assigned to be his tutor. Obviously they'd met passingly before, the school wasn't that big, but they had been two years apart in school and hadn't exactly shared many common extracurriculars or classes. She had been the scholarly one, and he had been more than content in pursuits that were a mixture of brawn and tactics.

"Hey," Will smiled when the door opened, plain and uncomplicated happiness at seeing her splashed across his face. "Wow," he said immediately when he took her in, "You look great." They might've seen each other a couple thousand times, easily, far more if he had been able to actually count it, but this time was different. A shade of color hit the top of his cheeks as he looked at her, very glad that while he hadn't thought she'd liked him in any sort of romantic way before, that he'd taken the chance at the BBQ.

It'd seemed ridiculous, waiting that long, but life had definitely interceded in so many ways. All that mattered now was that they now had this chance to see what could happen.

He was dressed simply, more cleaned up than his usual everyday t-shirt and beaten up jeans or shorts, but just a solid black shirt under a charcoal jacket and a new pair of jeans. Nothing fancy, but nothing that wasn't him, either.

Sloane blushed deeply as his eyes took her in and then at his words. There was something familiar about this, the look on his face and the way he stood in her door coming to see her. Had they done this before? "Thank you," she said, biting her lip and looking him over. "You look great too."

She was glad he'd finally asked her out, Sloane would have done it herself before but in high school he was a little unattainable and then she went away for school. Sloane smiled at the blush on his own skin and then remembered something, the last time this happened she had reached out one hand and placed it on his chest. Then he had pulled her in for a kiss... but that had never happened before. She had a dream about Will? Sloane closed her eyes and prayed this wouldn't be the dream that had woken her up. Or else she was in for one hell of a night.

This was entirely new territory for them to tread into, at least with each other, and even treading into it with Sloane was completely different in a way he couldn't really pinpoint than his other days. Probably just because she was Sloane, which pretty much said all that needed to be said from Will's perspective.

In high school he'd been largely oblivious to the social ranking accrued by he and Will on the school teams, and even in the two years where Ben had been in college first. He hadn't been oblivious to Sloane's 'nerd' status in the way of knowing that she got picked on by others on the football team, before he had told them to cut it out. Nicely, of course, and they'd agreed quickly enough that he didn't question why they quit, but just accepted it.

"You ready to go?" Only Sloane was closing her eyes and being quiet, "Sloane?" Will lifted one hand to touch the back of one of hers, barely touching her at all.

Shaking her head and opening her eyes Sloane looked at Will and gave him a reassuring smile. "Yeah, yeah I am." She moved forward, her hand pushing into his as she moved, sending an electric charge up her arm. "Sorry, I was just remembering something." And then it happened again, Sloane remembered Will touching her back, running his fingers along her spine and she looked momentarily horrified as she turned to lock her door. 'Fuck.' she mouthed, it was the dream that had woken her up.

Turning back to Will, Sloane smiled brightly, trying hard not to think about the dream that was quickly coming back to her as the minutes passed. "Lets go, shall we?" her voice a little too over the top, giving him another smile. Tone it down, Sloane. Just be cool.

She was acting unusually, but considering her usual was a little unusual anyway, Will only noticed in a vague sort of way. "Oh, okay," he was a little distracted from his question by a small, nearly electrical spark that passed through him from the small skin to skin contact. "Something good?" Naturally curious, he wondered what it was that had affected her so, since she didn't head for the kitchen, he guessed it wasn't something like the stove being left on.

"Sure," he smiled again, simply happy over the whole concept of being on a date with the woman he'd had a crush on in high school, as well as intervening years. It didn't seem strange to put his hand at the small of her back when they headed to his truck parked at the curb. He'd bought it used, but just a year old, and the 'patriot blue pearl' color had been appealing. The large man had needed something able to fit him, possibly a hockey player or two, and some equipment, and the Dodge Ram had fit the bill easily.

Once at the car, Will figured that opening the door wouldn't hurt, and opened the passenger door for her.

"Uh, yeah, I think so." she answered, laughing lightly. She may be embarrassed beyond words, but Sloane could still see the sick humour in her situation and could imagine laughing about it later with Raina. That is of course if she didn't die of embarrassment tonight.

There was a little shiver that travelled up her spine when Will placed his hand on the small of her back and Sloane took in a sharp breath. The warmth of his hand made her swallow and shift uncomfortably, not because she didn't like it, but because she liked it too much and it reminded her of a dream she'd rather forget.

"Thank you!" she smiled at him as he opened her door. There he goes again, being adorable, she thought climbing into the truck. "I hope you're ready to teach me! I'm kind of horrible at bowling."

While she was not trying to send out mixed signals, that was basically what Will was receiving. Sloane seemed more than a little distracted at first, and then was almost skittish, by all appearances. Add in the discomfort in her shifting when he was touching her, even through her dress at her back, and it didn't spell much good. But then, she was blushing, and smiling, and just being Sloane, which, all in all, left Will just downright confused.

He returned her smile, letting go of his confusion for the time being, "Sure," once he had closed the door behind her and gone around to get inside the cab of the truck himself, he added, "Sure you'll pick it up fast, you always do."

They had to go to Ann Arbor to get to a bowling alley, but the ride was less than an hour and they were able to make small talk all the way. Will parked not far away from the entrance, sending her a smile before getting out of the truck and waiting for her to do the same.

Of course Sloane never meant to send mixed signals, she wanted Will to know she liked him. Maybe he'd finally kiss her, something she'd wanted since high school, there was one time they almost kissed but his friends hunted him down in the library before they could get much closer than a few inches. She replayed that moment over and over, imagined what it might have felt like and wondered why he didn't try for it again.

"I've tried before, but could never get the hang of it." That's why she stuck with pool, in bowling the balls were too heavy and you had to put your fingers in those gross holes. Sloane wasn't obsessive about germs but the idea of putting her fingers in a germ infested bowling ball never really appealed to her. Then it hit her, he noticed that she picked things up quickly? Was that something all people noticed? Had she mentioned it? If he didn't kiss her by the end of the night, she was going to kiss him.

Sloane slipped from the huge truck and lost her balance momentarily, the thing was huge and it was hard for her to slip out gracefully in heels. Straightening out her dress, she followed him into the bowling alley, the cracking sound of the dropping pins welcoming them. She didn't care about the possible germs, Sloane was just happy to here with Will.

It'd been at the end of his high school 'career,' or at least the end of his time as a student at the high school and not his later position of teaching there. At seventeen he'd been one of the youngest in his graduating class, but he'd still been excited about the end of high school and the fact that he'd gotten an athletic scholarship to U of M where Ben had already been going to school.

That day had been over a year after she'd first become his English tutor, and before his teammates and friends had dragged him off to skip the rest of the day, she'd been helping him study for one of his finals. Then just broken up with the girl he'd been casually dating for a couple months, Will had realized that if he wanted to kiss Sloane, it was probably the last chance to do so. After all, who said they'd see each other after high school?

Unfortunately, they'd been interrupted before they could do more than lean in, and after he was pulled away, he had pretty much just figured that it was best to leave it as it was. And Sloane had never said anything to the opposite, so it had seemed like he'd made the right decision.

Back in the present, Will reached out to steady her as she slipped, one hand on her elbow and the other on her hip. While he didn't really want to let go, he did, after she was evenly on her own two feet, smiled at her and led the way into the building.

It had driven her mad for months afterwards and she prayed for the courage to say something about it, especially before he graduated but when that time came and passed, Sloane was tortured with what ifs. Prior to the kiss, she'd been heartbroken about him dating some girl and it surprised her when he leaned in.

The rest of the year had been Sloane hating the guys who had interrupted them and being a little distant toward Will. Her own weird sort of self preservation that turned out to help her in the long run. Although she never forgot about Will, she did move on and now that she as back and he was here. She didn't care about the past.

As Will reached out and steadied her with his large hands, Sloane's body and mind reacted almost simultaneously. First her eyes slid shut momentarily and she could remember her dream clearly; his hand sliding down to disappear between her legs, her responding moan and then her body shivered against his touch. She didn't really want him to let go either, but was glad when he did. Not the greatest time to remember something like that, she smiled at him as best she could and then followed him into the building. Keeping a certain distance between them and cursing her stupid brain.

After the near kiss, it had been strange between them until they'd both not forgotten, but put it out of mind. He'd been confusedly trying to figure out why she had been distant afterwards when he'd gotten temporarily together with a pretty redheaded cheerleader, one who'd just suddenly come up and kissed him in the hallway at school.

He and the oddly named Season, had dated from two weeks or so after the aborted kiss until the end of summer when they'd gone to different schools. There hadn't been much upset over their separation, though, and both had gone on their way without anything but friendliness.

Sloane's reaction to him helping steady her was strange, and Will was taken off guard to realize she was actually aroused. How he knew was a little weird to think, but enhanced smell extended to more than just being able to catch the scent of her favorite bodywash.

Once inside the bowling alley, shoes were procured (along with a pair of women's socks for Sloane's heeled feet), and the two of them were assigned to lane 12. Will smiled, as the reached their spot and he shrugged off his jacket to put it over the back of one of the seats. "Okay, how big do you want it?" He was already looking at the selection of bowling balls, not paying attention to any other connotations of his words.

It was with intense dislike that Sloane remembered Season, an overly ambitious and arrogant girl who would frequently throw dirty looks at Sloane. Never doing anything in front of Will, but making snide comments the minute he was out of ear shot.

Had she known that he could smell her arousal, Sloane probably would have died right then and there of embarrassment. Luckily she was unaware of the fact that he was anything other than vanilla human and continued on her way, trying to shake the dream from her head.

Sloane placed her little blue clutch on the seat Will laid his coat over and then sat down to put on her shoes. Looking up at his words she blushed and then laughed awkwardly. "What?" Sloane preferred to ignore the sexual connotations also, instead she looked at the bowling balls he was standing in front of. "Probably something light?" she added on hastily and then blushing furiously as another flash of her dream popped up. Sloane was sliding her hand down his underwear now, grasping at him and making a little noise of surprise at his size.

Will had never suspected ulterior motives from his one-time girlfriend, as she'd been nothing but nearly saccharine sweet around him, and always quick to distract him with more PDA in the school hallways than was necessary. Or at the hockey rink, or...well, anywhere, really.

He hadn't really known that while Season grew to be fond of him, she initially began dating him simply because she wanted an attractive jock to boost her own popularity. When he'd gone off to college, she'd actually still had a year left to go in Scarlet Oak High School, and continued her stay among the popular groups. Always beside or below one of the jocks in school.

Will was doing his best to avoid thinking about what scent clung lightly to Sloane then, focusing on choosing bowling balls instead. He chose a heavier one for himself, dark green, and a lighter one for her, a bright cheery yellow. It actually fit pretty well, as he knew it was her favorite color, and he was just bringing it back to her when she went bright red and the soft scent of arousal amplified slightly. Confused, but covering it as best he could, he held out the ball for her, "Here, this should work."

Sloane was pretty sure that Season only went out with Will to boost her status and it had made Sloane sick to think about it, he didn't deserve be treated like that. Not only did Season feel the need to have a running commentary about Sloane, she loved PDA and would usually bump it up a notch or two when Sloane was around. The girl had made Sloane cry more than once and after Will left high school, Sloane was stuck with Season for a year that she would rather forget. The comments and jokes thrown in her general direction became more frequent. The end of the year had come as a blessing to the young Elemental.

"Thank you," she said with a slightly forced smile, she pushed the dream from her head and focused on the present. "It's yellow, that's my favourite colour, you know." Sloane finished lacing up her shoes and grabbed the ball from him, holding it in both arms and trying hard to delay placing her fingers in the holes.

Season so far from Will's mind just then, she might not have existed, he smiled at Sloane in the then and there, nodding. "I know," if he had known about the way the cheerleader had treated Sloane, he certainly never would have dated her, let alone slept with her. He might've been a seventeen year old boy, with a very pretty and forward girl after him, but he'd certainly liked Sloane a whole lot more then than he'd ever liked Season.

The fact that the redheaded former cheerleader had, as Will had discovered at his tenth high school reunion, married a former high school football player who she now hated and had six children she resented, well that was just sad. Throw in a bad dye job and about sixty pounds, and Season really had turned.

It was easier to think when Sloane took the ball from him, as the scent around her softened and faded down to half its current level. "D'you wanna go first?" He set his own ball on the return device, so he could change his shoes out for the bowling approved set.

Yup, that was it. Sloane made up her mind that she was going to kiss Will by the end of night and if he didn't make the move first, she was going to. She had waited way too long for this night. "You really need to stop being so sweet." She said with a shy smile, the heavy ball weighing her down as she bit her lip to stop herself from kissing him right then and there.

Sloane made a face that said she'd rather not, but put her fingers in the holes anyway. "I guess?" she said with a shrug, unsure of how to even throw it. Looking around she tried copying someone in the next lane, tossing the ball with both hands. It bounced heavily, rolled a couple feet and then sunk into the gutter. She turned to look at Will with a sheepish smile on her face and a slight blush on her cheeks. "Your turn." Sloane laughed, turning around to watch her pathetic ball roll to the end of the gutter.

The answer he gave to Sloane labeling him 'sweet' was a slightly sheepish smile and some coloring heightening his cheekbones. "You wear lots of yellow," he shrugged, "And when the leaves were changing, you said that it was your favorite of all the colors." Sloane probably never quite knew how much she'd told him over the years, especially those first two years, because they'd been little fragments of things that had built up into the all around knowledge he had of her.

Sort of like when he had given her 'Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters' for her birthday, because she'd told him more than once that 'Sense and Sensibility' had been her favorite book for awhile.

He watched her..attempt at bowling, and while he didn't laugh, he did get up from his seat, moving towards her. "You have another try," sure enough the ball was only a minute later returned to within reach, and he picked it up, walking towards her until he was standing beside her. Will offered the bright yellow ball to Sloane, "Here, I can show you."

It was true, she did wear a lot of yellow. The colour itself was so bright and cheery, she couldn't help but love it. How much had he picked up over the years, she wondered. Giving him a puzzled look and then a shy smile. This was getting ridiculous, all the things he knew about her and Sloane felt she knew next to nothing about him. "I really shouldn't be surprised that you remembered my favourite colour, but I am."

The book he'd given her made her laugh and it actually turned out to be pretty good. Sense and Sensibility had always been her favourite Jane Austen book and Edward Ferrars had always sort of reminded her vaguely of Will. Sweet and unassuming and never one to hurt or mislead.

Wrinkling her nose at the thought of doing that again she asked, "Really?" And laughed but was cut off when he walked toward her, her breath hitching a little. "O-okay." Taking the ball from his large hands-- that she refused to remember between her legs-- Sloane blushed furiously as he stood beside her, she took a deep breath and slipped her fingers into the holes of the ball.

It made sense, that he knew more odd little facts about her than she did about him, she just talked a lot more than he did. Not that he was complaining, she'd never 'run over him' so to speak, or cut him off, just had a lot more to say. "I remember a lot of things you say," Will told her again. That he actually liked listening to, and watching, her speak had been part of how she'd been such a great tutor for him. He'd never really felt like napping on his books when she'd been trying to explain some book to him.

He'd done the reading, but hadn't really gotten the concepts of the assigned books until she'd talked him through it.

Sloane was slightly more agitated as he moved closer, he could tell, even if the blush hadn't told him quite a lot, but he didn't call attention to it. Figuring that it would only embarrass her, he simply continued what he'd planned to, moving to stand behind her. "Okay, we'll try it this way," one of his hands settled on her right hip, his other on her left wrist so that he could help guide her movements.

His mouth near her ear as he bent his head just enough to have his eye level near hers, he guided her in pulling her arm back. "Keep this smooth and easy, use the weight of the ball for most of the action." The hand on her wrist drew out her forward movement, "Look at the center pin, keep your eyes on that one, aim for it. Then all you have to do is," they completed the swing of the ball, and his hand squeezed on her wrist, "Now, just let go." The last words were spoken low, directly into her ear, but his tone belied the fact that he was supposed to be coaching her in a sport.

"So I've noticed." She said with another, even shyer smile. Will wasn't much of a talker and when she was younger, Sloane would cover her attraction with constantly talking. Whether it was about English or herself. There were certain things she knew about him, like even though he had tried to go pro in hockey, he enjoyed helping people more. Something they seemed to share.

As he moved behind her, Sloane took a deep breath and tried desperately to focus on the lane but the closeness of his body to hers and the light touch of his hands made her eyes slip closed. She breathed him in; a low, woodsy smell that made her swallow hard and she forced her eyes open.

She shivered lightly at the heat of his breath so close to her ear. "O-okay," she said in a husky voice. Sloane snapped her eyes open, she hadn't even realized were closed and let him guide her through the throw, trying hard to focus on the centre pin. The squeeze of her wrist and the words whispered in a low voice, directly into her ear sent another flash of her dream through Sloane's mind. His fingers buried deep within her, his body warm against hers and the words whispered as he pulled an orgasm from her shaking body. 'Just let go Sloane.'

Her hand jerked from his and the ball dropped with a loud thud. Extremely aroused and embarrassed, Sloane pulled away from Will and looked at him, blushing a bright red. "Excuse me!" she squeaked, turning on her heel and running for the bathroom. This was just ridiculous, the warm feeling in her abdomen and the slick wetness between her legs and he'd barely touched her at all. In the bathroom, Sloane breath hard, trying to calm herself down. How could she face him, especially after running away without an explanation.

Being that close to her, nearly body to body, it had taken likely all of his control to keep from moving even closer against her. Especially with the ability to actually touch her now, even if it was just her clothed hip under her dress and her wrist.

He had meant for the small squeeze to signal her releasing the ball in a straight line to the pins, and was taken completely off guard by the extreme rush of arousal she was suddenly pumping out. And the way that she jerked away from him, more than a few strangers' eyes turning to them when the ball hit the ground so abruptly. While he was scrambling to pull back his own immediate reaction to the scent she was putting out, it was made considerably easier, and not in a particularly pleasant way, by her sudden retreat.

Missing most of the attention directed his way for the moment, by others in the bowling alley, Will watched in bewilderment as Sloan fled.

Her hands clutched the sides of the porcelain sink and she stared at herself in the mirror. The thoughts racing through her head were hard to quiet, but once she got a hold of them Sloane went through them one at a time. She had most certainly had a highly sexual dream about Will that she seemed to remember every time he touched her and with a sinking feeling, Sloane knew that the dream didn't end with his fingers inside her. Shaking out her head, she decided to take the flashes in stride. Okay, she really liked Will and had a sex dream about him, that was no reason to ruin the date.

Once she had calmed the burn in her abdomen by thinking about anything but the dream, Sloane took a few deep breaths before leaving the bathroom. She hadn't come up with an explanation and decided that the truth wouldn't be a great idea, but that she could tell him part of the truth. He made her nervous and after years of friendship this romance was new to them.

"Hello," she said weakly once she had returned to their lane. Sloane stood in front of Will, her hands sweating and her heart pumping fast. "I am so sorry about that. It's just... you make me really nervous and this..." She gestured between them. "Is really new for us. I guess it sort of caught me off guard. I really am sorry for running off on you."

In her absence, Will had sat down on one of the chairs, beside where her purse and his jacket were. As much to wait for her to return, which he was mostly sure she would, both for the fact that he couldn't really see her just leaving completely like that, and that her purse was still there, as for the fact that he was aware his height made him stand out. And standing out after that wasn't the best idea, he thought.

While he was aware of her approach, Will didn't immediately look at Sloane to watch her walk back, giving her a few moments.

"Okay. It's okay, Sloane." This was a semi-new vantage point for him, him having to look up at her, "I know you didn't mean anything by it." As his confusion melted away with her explanation, so did everything else. He just had never been the type to really hold much against someone else, let alone someone he cared about.

She released a breath she didn't even know she was holding and gave him a smile that said she was grateful for his acceptance. "So, you feel like laughing at me some more?" she asked, picking up the yellow ball again.

The rest of the night went much better, occasionally she'd have a flash of riding him like a pony and she'd blush furiously as she thought of everything to try turn herself off. True to herself and Will's prediction, as the night wore on she got much better at bowling which she suspected was because she had never really tried before and he happened to be a great teacher. Which she told him and received a light blush, which only made her blush.

After having dinner, thankfully with little to no dream flashbacks, Will drove her back to Scarlet Oak and walked Sloane to her front door. "I-I had a lot of fun tonight," she said earnestly, shifting her body slightly toward his and fiddling with her keys. She wished he'd kiss her already, something soft and gentle.

"I won't laugh at you," Will promised, before carefully coaching her through their game. Her compliment, it had been enough to make him lightly blush because he really enjoyed teaching others, but hearing it from Sloane was something else entirely.

There were parts of the date that were like an up and down roller coaster, where something that seemed perfectly innocent to him would spark off this sudden flood of arousal and pheromones from Sloane. He'd leave her alone in those moments, and she would seemingly pull back whatever it was so that he could thinks straight. Or, at all, really.

Will had walked Sloane back to her door, his hand barely touching the small of her back the whole way, liking the ability to touch her in a way that wasn't platonic. Naturally wanting to touch her more. "Me too," and he really had, he had liked being around her, as always, but this time it was something more for the fact that it was them out on a date. When he moved from simply standing beside her on her doorstep, to lift a hand to her jaw, it was slow and bordering on hesitant, giving her the ability to pull away if she wanted.

Leaning down to close the distance between them, his lips touched hers, what he had wanted to do so long ago. Her full lips were incredibly soft against his, she smelled so good and even just the small space of skin where he cupped her jaw in his palm made him want to touch more of her.

He was actually, finally, kissing Sloane Messinger.

The butterflies in her stomach erupted as he brought his hand up to cup the side of her face and she could feel the heat creep up her cheeks, Sloane took in a sharp breath and let his lips touch hers. It was gentle and it took her head a minute to catch up with the idea that this was happening, she felt as if she was outside her body watching.

With his lips against hers, it felt exactly like she thought it would; soft and sweet, his hand on her face. Sloane rested hers on his chest as she tilted her head up into his mouth, he tasted sweet and his lips fit perfectly with hers.

Will Stone, finally, after years of waiting. She got her chance and now she didn't need to wonder what it would have been like if they weren't interrupted. Instead of the anger she thought she would feel when this finally happened, the past sort of faded away and it was just them.

He had hesitated just a little before his mouth met hers, the enormity of it another step along the way for them not unacknowledged. This was important. But it was just as important to do what he'd wanted to do for so long, to kiss her.

His fingers on her jaw slid up to cup the back of her head, threading through her hair, getting that much closer to her with his whole body. No move was made to deepen the kiss for now, he was content with just having the ability to have her mouth under his as she melted against him.

A decade before, his buddies had walked in at the exact wrong second, when Will had been about to kiss her over a copy of Much Ado About Nothing. But that drifted out of focus, along with the the events that followed, and it was just him and her and kissing on her doorstep.

The moment of hesitation hit her, somewhere in her head she knew how big this moment was. It wasn't just an end of the night kiss, it was a first kiss between two people who had travelled years just to get to this point.

Will's hand in her hair sent a little shiver down her spine, small contact that sort of sent her attraction on fire. This was it, the first time they would kiss and it was perfect. It was almost as if the date, which would embarrass her later as she relayed it to Raina, hadn't even happened.

This is how it would have felt, that day, if his friends hadn't showed up. It didn't matter though, not now. As the kiss ended, Sloane kept her eyes shut a second longer and expelled a slow breath. She licked her lips and tasted him on her mouth and with a breathy laugh she turned her head away, grinning wide. There was one thing Sloane knew completely in that moment; she wanted to do that again.

Will too kept his eyes shut a moment after they parted, before he pulled his hand from her hair and simply looked at her. Looked at her and smiled back down at her.

If he had thought about it, it could have very well been that there could have been no physical chemistry between them, in that kiss. That after all that time having known each other, that there could have been no spark in the kiss. But Will hadn't thought of that, he'd never thought that kissing Sloane could or would have been anything less than it had been.

He unconsciously echoed her action of licking his lips, tasting Sloane there. "I had fun, a lot of fun," it was a repetition of what they'd said before, in the message of it, but he knew he had to say goodnight before he kissed her again. Because he really wanted to do it again.

The thought hadn't really occurred to her, that there would be no chemistry between them because there had always been some sort of spark that she was vaguely aware of. As he slipped his hand from her hair, Sloane could feel the lingering warmth of his hand and missed the way his fingers felt in her hair.

Looking down she smiled shyly and then looked up to meet his eye. "Yeah, me too." she said, biting the inside of her lip. Sloane felt giddy and the butterflies in her stomach were flying around wildly, throwing up all over the place. She knew the night had to end, she just wanted to kiss him one last time and with that thought she reached up on tippy toes and placed her mouth on his again.

Kissing Sloane was fantastic, he liked the way she tasted, and when one of his hands went to her waist, he liked the way her soft body felt under his hand. Saying Will liked kissing Sloane, her lips slightly cool against his, would be a massive understatement. He already knew it would be too easy to give into the desire to stay like that for as long as they could, until the need for food and sleep won out, just kissing her.

Then again, the longer he stayed on her doorstep, the more that he thought of things other than kissing her that he'd like to do. With her. To her.

This time when their kiss paused, Will reluctantly had to tell her. "I have to say goodnight. I don't really want to, but I have to."

With with one arm around his waist, the other resting on his chest, and the feel of his hands on her body, Sloane could have stayed like that all night. Just touching and kissing each other, perfectly content in just standing in her front of her door kissing the only man she really ever wanted too. If Sloane had any idea what he was thinking, of wanting to do more than kissing she'd probably blush and then maybe pull him into her apartment. It had been 12 years, after all.

As he pulled away and Sloane licked him from her lips once again, she pouted slightly. "I know," she murmured, hanging her head for a second before giving him another smile. "I know, I have to get up early and visit my parents tomorrow."

As much as Will wanted to do more than kiss her, touch her and to be able to strip away both their clothes, if the offer had been extended for him to come inside, he would've had to stop her. Somehow, he already knew that it wouldn't feel right if he didn't tell her about what had happened to him in college, and why that made his life so different. He wasn't sure exactly how Sloane would take it, but his very nature was optimistically hopeful on the subject.

He was still him, after all. There was just one night a month where he had to be locked in a reinforced cage, for his and everyone's protection.

"Me too," Will backpedaled slightly, "Only...my parents, not yours." And his step-brother, but he'd really rather not think about Derek when it was already bad enough that he had to stop touching and kissing Sloane and go back home. "Night," one last quick grin and he completely pulled away, leaving her at her doorstep to get into his truck and drive away.
