Nick watched Anya as she decorated the cake she had baked that morning. He watched the emotions cross her face as she came close to completing the cake decoration. They were alone in the kitchen. Pam and Paul were enjoying the waves of the private beach leaving Anya and Nick alone time for themselves.

"Have those two set a date for their wedding?" Nick asked, Anya had finished decorating the cake, he didn't know what it was, but he didn't care. With this woman, anything was decadent.

Anya actually chuckled, "They intended to have Vegas wedding tonight. We'll be flying out of here in a few hours. I just made this cake for them."

"Are we going to get roaring drunk tonight?" he asked.

Anya suddenly looked horrified by the idea. "I hope not, I am not in my best form when I'm drunk."

Nick smiled at the thought, "Why? What happens when you're drunk?" he asked.

She turned red with embarrassment. "I am not in liberty to day," she murmured and looked for a box in one of the drawers.

"We haven't been here a day and we're going to Vegas? Want to go for a swim?" he asked and helped Anya wash the dishes. He realized she didn't use the dishwasher. She actually washed all of the dishes by hand. She says it was a good time to think and it builds character and she can clean it better than any machine.

"If you realize, Mr. St. Anthony, I only have one decent dress. I have seen the closet and the clothes you got for me. The clothes you got me are simply too sexy. I haven't even seen half of those clothes outside of a lingerie catalogue!"

Nick groaned, "You want to go shopping?"

She frowned, "I am not going to take you. I am taking Pam with me. You have the worst taste in clothes, Nick. I am not going to wear those." All she had were several bikinis and large bathrobes. She also had two shirts and two pairs of jeans and lacy underwear. She tried not to look at him whenever she thought about her closet. Everything in it simply screamed sex and seduction.

He grumbled something but gathered Anya in his arms. He dropped a kiss on her head and took her hand. "What ever you're going to buy, will not fit in your car. I'll take you shopping. I also have a hotel in Vegas where we can stay. Pam and Paul can have stay in of the honeymoon while you and I get my penthouse."

She looked up at him, "Thank you, Nick, you are simply too kind." She lay her ear next to his heart and listened to it beat. Then she wrapped her arms around his waist and breathed in deeply. She wanted to stay in his arms forever, that she was sure of.

The kitchen door opened as Nick planned to kiss her and Pam and Paul unceremoniously entered, Anya ended up kissing Nick's cheek. She grumbled something about bad timing. Nick smiled at Anya then frowned at the couple. "Are you ready for tonight?" Pam asked flat out ignoring Nick's frown.

Anya sighed, "I still have to go shopping. All I have are bathing suits and undies."

Pam frowned at that, "Then we should get going. We still have a plane to catch tonight and Elvis to look for."

Anya looked at her friend worriedly, "Do you really want to elope, Pam? I mean yes, you and Paul are already married, but shouldn't you two inform your families first?"

Pam looked at Anya, "They are going to make me do that wait thing, and honestly, if you have a man like Paul, who can't keep his hands to himself and can't seem to close his zip and has the hots only for you. I say why wait?"

"Amen to that,"Nick muttered.

Pam smiled at that, she knew what Nick was going through. "Now let's go shopping! You still have to pick your dress and I already have mine. Let's go while the dress still fits!"
