The music was slow and heavy as he pulled her close. The crowded room seemed to fade away as the world narrowed down to just the two of them. He smiled down at her as he pulled her even closer until she wasn't quite sure where Nick ended and she began. Catherine tilted her head as he claimed her lips and they stopped swaying in time to the music. It wasn't until someone pushed past them that the crowded nightclub came back into focus. She moved backwards a step as Nick made an inarticulate sound that almost sounded like a growl. He turned back to her and pulled her close again before he whispered in her ear.

"Let's get outta here."

She nodded up at him and allowed him to lead her off of the crowded dance floor to his car. The night air was cool against her overheated flesh but it didn't do anything to lessen what she was feeling for Nick. When he gently pushed her up against the car and claimed her mouth again, Catherine couldn't help the quiet moan that escaped her lips as his hands rubbed up and down her arms.
