Warning: Sexual Situations

The party was in full swing and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Alcohol flowed freely and the party became relaxed and casual. Jenna was late and Lindsey checked his watch.

"She will be here. She wouldn't miss it" Stevie whispered to him, already a little tipsy from her bottomless wine glass.

"I know." he says, checking his watch again.

"Did Will take the girls home already?"

"Yeah, only a few minutes ago."

"I miss them already. I wish they could have stayed."

"He said something about Kristen giving them a curfew even though it's not even a school night. I think she's just pissed off. She won't return my calls when I ask about weekend visits."

"I'm sorry, baby" Stevie says, rubbing the back of his hand with the soft palm of hers. He smiles warmly, looking down at her.

"I should have married you first" he said.

"Don't go back there, Linds. I may not have been your first wife but I better be your last wife" she says, poking him playfully in the ribs and he laughs.

"Of course you will be. I love you."

"I love you too" She kisses his lips softly, continuing to comfort him. He really was a sensitive guy despite what others may think. He reached into his pocket and took out his phone, feeling the vibration of a text message.

"Jenna's here and she says she brought someone"

"Isn't she dating someone right now?"

"I think she is but she prefaced it with 'don't freak out' so I don't think it's him."

"Oh..." Stevie says, taking a sip of her wine.

"Stay here, I'm going to check it out." Lindsey says and Stevie nods, mingling with guests who were dying to see her ring and talk about wedding preparation. She told them all about Karen working with the wedding planner, Jenna helping out as well, and all about the perfect dress, which she had made to her specifications. Meanwhile, Lindsey went to greet Jenna who was already out of the car, getting out a wrapped gift from the trunk.

"What's this?" Lindsey asked.

"You'll see. It's kind of a joke but I think you will both really get a kick out of it"

"Alright." He kissed her cheek. "How are you?"

"I'm good."

"You look really nice. Stevie is going to love your dress."

"Well, I'm dripping in velvet for her so..." she said. Her rose-toned hair was clipped back on one side with a beautiful jeweled slide pin, the other side falling seductively over one eye. It was still asymmetrical in cut with a soft, slightly messy appearance. Her dress was a long, long sleeved, high neck velvet dress with a deep open back. She paired it with devastatingly high heels and long drop earrings. She wore a million rings, like Stevie and he smiled at the similarities he saw from the beginning.

"Where is your guest?"

"Um...see, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. It's..." The car door on the passengers side swings open and he stands aside.

"Hi, Lindsey" Jenna's guest says and his eyes go wide. "Long time no see"

"Oh man, this isn't going to be good" Lindsey said, a hand placed to his forehead in panic.

"I'm sorry, she really wanted to come." Jenna said.

"She's your mother. I, I understand."

"Since our talk, I know it was wrong of me to dissuade her from coming around. She talks about the both of you a lot and well, I wanted to see you guys. It's been a long time." Carol said.

"Yes it has." he says. Lindsey hands the gift back to Jenna and whispers something in her ear. She nods and Lindsey disappears.

"Let's go inside, shall we?" Jenna says, taking her mother's hand. Jenna holds her breath, waiting for this whole thing to blow up.

Lindsey gets back to Stevie as quickly as possible, wanting to warn her about the possibly unwanted guest. "Babe, so we should talk."

"What?" she asks, half giggling as she's mingling with a small group of people and sharing stories.

"Well, Jenna's guest isn't a boyfriend."

"Okay, so what?"

"It's her mother."

"Carol Ann?" Stevie turns away from her group and looks up at him. "Are you serious?"

"Jenna said she wanted to come and Carol seems like she will be on her best behavior"

"I'm hoping that's true. I haven't seen her in years and I just hope she's settled down. This is a beautiful party."

"Be strong for me, okay? I promise, once we are done here and all the guest leave, it will be just the two of us. You...and...me" he says, punctuating his words with dangerously seductive kisses on her lips.

"Promise?"

"I will make it worth your while" he says and she gives him a devilish smile. "That's my girl" He kisses her once more, refilling her glass. She's going to need it.

Jenna enters the house with Carol right behind. Stevie sees them immediately and waves them over. "Stevie, this is my mother" Her voice flutters slightly, unsure of what will happen next. She had heard stories on both sides about what went on all those years ago and even until recently, there was bitterness. She, after all, was the one who put Jenna up to taking the pictures that led to the end of Lindsey's marriage. As Stevie watched the woman from her past, she was almost thankful to her. Without the things Carol had done, she wouldn't have been the one to end up with Lindsey. Maybe she wouldn't be marrying him in less than a week. Carol extends a hand for a friendly handshake and Stevie takes it, pulling the woman into her and giving her a careful hug, as she still had a wine glass in her hand.

"So good to see you!" Stevie said. "You look great! Oh my gosh!"

"Wow...thank you, Stevie. You look beautiful. I'm so happy for you." Carol Ann said, nervously. She didn't expect friendliness from Stevie at all and she was kind of taken aback.

"Would you like a glass of wine, champagne? I have harder stuff, softer stuff...your preference." Stevie continued.

"Wine would be great" Jenna said and Carol nodded her agreement.

"Perfect. Come with me! I went a little overboard, there are so many different types." Stevie leads the women to the kitchen and they look at each other as if it's a dream. Lindsey watched on, confused but delighted. If anyone could be nice to someone she didn't like, it would be Stevie.

By the time the party was winding down, Carol was sufficiently tipsy, as was Jenna. They were all giggling hysterically on the couch, after opening Jenna's gift. Even Lindsey had to laugh- it was an electric skillet, since he led Stevie's to its terrible death on the gas stove a lifetime ago. The two older women were getting the most fun out of looking at pictures in photo albums from long ago. Things were so different back then, for all of them. Lindsey was still in a state of shock as it all unfolded before him, asking Jenna if she needed a ride home so he could get a little air.

"No, Linds! We have lots of room! Let them stay, they can go home in the morning." Stevie said.

"I don't think that's wise" Lindsey advised.

"Why not, it could be so fun!"

"I'm calling a cab. I'm not doing the walk of shame through Beverly Hills" Carol says with an uncomfortable laugh, standing up to find a quiet place to use her phone. She got the hint from Lindsey and didn't want to step on anyone's toes for once.

"Well, alright, are you staying Jen?" Stevie asked, wiping the tears generated by the combination of  wine and incessant laughter.

"Only until I sober up. I'm meeting Beau for brunch tomorrow."

"I thought his name was something else?" Lindsey asked.

"Oh, it is but he's a musician. He says it makes him sound sensitive. I like it."

Lindsey rolls his eyes. "Whatever. Be safe. Have some coffee, stay as long as you want."

"Thanks, daddy." Jenna says.

The cab comes for Carol and Jenna sees her off. Stevie waves and promises a girl's night, just the three of them, to talk and catch up. Carol is looking forward to it, strangely, and blows her a kiss as the car pulls away. Jenna went up to her room, already passed out on the bed when Lindsey peeks in through the open door. Stevie gives her another peek to make sure she was actually asleep before going up to the room she shared with Lindsey. The guests were gone and Karen supervised the clean up, leaving on her own afterward.

The house was silent, the lights were turned down and candles were lit while Lindsey showered for bed. He thought she'd be too tired after the party, deciding just to cuddle until they both fell asleep but Stevie was feeling confident and rather mischievous. She took all of her clothes off, put her high heels back on and finger combed her hair. She lay back on the pillows, crossed her legs at the ankle and waited for Lindsey. She readjusted her hair, tossing it over one shoulder, exposing her body a little more. When he came out from the bathroom, he was in for the shock of his life.

"Fuck" he breathed at the sight of her. "You really did it"

"Of course I did. I'm not afraid" she says defiantly. "Do you like what you see, Mr. Buckingham?" Her voice was soft and breathy and he felt like he would melt.

"Oh I love what I see, Miss Nicks." He drops his towel and crawls over her, trapping her beneath his body. He smoothes her thighs and hips, digging his finger tips in a little as he gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. He pulled away and purposely smeared her lipstick with a thumb brushed across her lips, kissing her again. Her hands instantly went to the sides of his face. She felt the heat from his body all around her and she became incredibly aroused and ready. Lindsey could sense it, the burning desire inside of her. He parted her thighs, positioning himself perfectly between them. He slipped into her easily and they both moaned.

"Shhh, Jenna." she tells him and he smirks at her.

"You were louder than me"

"You make it feel so good. I can't help it." She bites her lip.

"Oh yes, keep doing that." he says, finding every mannerism so sexy. He stroked her hair, pushing into her a little deeper, capturing her lips to quiet them both. As he continued, he pulled her down from being propped up on the pillows and thrust harder, lifting her legs up to his shoulders. He was so deep that it hurt her a little but the pleasure took over instantly. He kissed the tops of her feet and down each calf as he pushed harder and faster. He rubbed her thigh with a calloused hand, touching her sensitive bud to encourage more pleasure for her. She was obviously enjoying herself and so was he. He enjoyed watching her writhe with pleasure beneath him. He groaned and grunted for her, drawing sighs of ecstasy from her lips. He was close as he felt her tighten around him. She gripped the bed sheets, moaning his name and gasping as she rose to crescendo. He leaned down to kiss her again, her sounds driving him absolutely crazy. He noticed the heels again, the new plumpness of her lips and he came shortly after her, speaking her name over and over into her hair as he nearly collapsed on top of her. They were both sweating, still groping hungrily at each other's bodies long after they were spent. "I love you so much, Steph."

"I love you too, Lindsey" she whispered over his shoulder. "I love you too." His breathing slowed with hers, their hearts were synced up perfectly. It felt like their bodies were vibrating together as one. Stevie kissed his shoulder and neck, rubbing and lightly scratching his back as he kissed her neck as well.

"So much for that shower. I'm all sweaty again." he says finally and she chuckles.

"We can shower together later. It can wait for right now. Just hold me." she says. He rolls off of her and presses his body into hers from behind. His strong arms envelop her and she feel so safe and loved.

"I will. Forever." he tells her, kissing her one last time before drifting off to sleep.

A/N: another super long one!
