"I'll be back quickie…" Niles stammered.

"Quickly," Daphne corrected.

"Quickly," Niles corrected as he took her hand as they raced off to the bedroom. He knew they didn't have much time, and they knew everyone was watching, but he didn't really care. He would take any opportunity to be with the woman he loved.

Daphne was a goddess. She was beautiful, there was no doubt about it. She was simply the most breathtaking woman he had ever seen. She was never more alive than when they were in the bedroom. She was so carefree. So vivacious, so alive. He lived for moments like these. He never would forget their first time. They had been arguing. It was a carefully planned argument. Daphne had just returned from a spa, one in which she'd hoped would help her cope with her weight problem. Not that he'd noticed. She'd always looked amazing. It was she that had complained. She could weigh 200 pounds and still be the most beautiful woman in the room. She had said that her therapist Gloria said that he'd put her so high on a pedestal that he couldn't see her for who she really was. So he decided to let her know that he saw her faults. The conversation didn't go exactly how he planned, but it ended in glory. Boy did it end in glory.

"Daphne, you do realize that everyone knows what we're doing," Niles giggled. He'd always been a giggler. It had been his downfall in junior high.

"Does it bother you?"

"Not particularly," she whispered seductively.

"Good. Me neither."

She started with his tie. It always fascinated how smoothly and quickly she could remove his tie. Of course she probably had lots of practice with ties with all of her brothers. Must not think about brothers.

She kissed him. Lots of slow, teasing kisses. He closed his eyes and took in the scent of her hair. Cherry bark and almonds. He loved it that that never changed. He was afraid to touch her after all this time, afraid that she might disappear. Gently he caressed her neck and her shoulders at first.

"Niles we don't have much time," Daphne reminded him.

"My love you simply are a vision. You are the most breathtaking sight I have ever seen!"

She smiled. He always had a way with words. She quickly removed his shirt.

Nervously he lifted her dress and took in the sight of her. Subconsciously he held his breath, perhaps longer than he should have. Every time was as marvelous as the first. Whether it was a generous session or a quickie at his brother's, he always delighted at her presence. Niles kissed her neck and her shoulders. She sighed in delight. As their lips met they forgot where they were and let their feelings express themselves through the motions of their bodies. They both tossed their clothes aside. Niles got up and neatly folded them and put them on the dresser. He laid back down and picked up right where he left of. After kissing her a few times he quickly entered her, slowly at first and then picking up the pace he soon brought her to her release. She sighed in pleasure. The sounds of her always brought him such joy. He always slept with sounds machines such as to the sounds of the rain forest but nothing pleased him like hearing her so content. Soon she was at her peak again and then he couldn't control himself any longer. He collapsed beside her, both very content. They both hurriedly dressed and returned to the party.

"Happy birthday to you Roz," Niles said, his eyes never leaving Daphne's side.

"Happy birthday," Daphne chimed in. It might have been Roz's birthday but it would be one she and Niles would always remember.
