"Finally, I didn't think that you recognized me," Robert whispered in Rory's ear, as he pulled her closer.

Rory blushed. She started flirting, but she never thought the stranger would be one of her friends from Yale. Colin, Finn and Robert always liked to keep their schedules loose like their women. Rory was never into the no strings relationship, however a shiver wanders down her body as his hot breath tickles her neck. Robert looks enticing to her

Instead of running away as would have done in the past, Rory leans into him, smiling softly.

"Sorry, Robert, I was just thinking if you are more handsome now than you were when we were in Yale together," she smirks devilishly.

Absentmindedly she moves her left hand down his hairy chest. At first, he's surprised, but he would never stop flirting with Rory Gilmore.

"At which you totally failed," he replies grinning. "Sweetheart, we cannot talk about how handsome I am because I'm the most attractive man here tonight."

He likes the feel of her body close to his and her hand playing with the hair on his chest. Who thought that his decision to leave open the first few buttons of his gray button-down shirt would be such a turn on to Rory Gilmore?

Turned on by the feeling of the warmth of his body and their movement to the slow rhythm of the music, Rory praises the DJ for his music choices. Still obliviously caressing Robert's chest she switches to slightly small talk.

"Strange name for a club," Rory starts, remembering their earlier conversation.

"I thought you would have figured the meaning out by now," he chuckles with a wink.

"Hey, I'm not a researcher," she continues flirting.

"I thought being a reporter, research is part of your job description," Robert teases.

He's enjoying the slow dance and he starts to caress Rory's back gently. With his other hand, he signals the DJ to continue to play slow music.

"Have you signaled for the DJ to get help?" She giggles.

The cocktails she had earlier tasted incredible, but slowly she was beginning to feel the effects of the alcohol in her veins.

"Not at all, I just thought it would be great if he could continue to dance to the slow music since I have such a beautiful woman in my arms," he smirks.

"Robert, I always knew you were more of narcissists than the other boys, but what makes you think the DJ would play what you want?" Rory mocks tenderly.

"Well," Robert starts, "perhaps because I pay his wages."

Clearly puzzled Rory looks at Robert while he's laughing.

"This is your club?" Rory asks impressed.

"Yes," Robert replies obviously proud.

After retaining her composure Rory continues with their banter. "Your brothers are still alive?"

"Unfortunately," he chuckles. She's not only good-looking but also witty, a nice change to his usual conquests.

"But you're already married, I suppose?" Rory continues mocking.

"I thought you would be my first?" He whispers seductively in her ear, leaning very close to her.

His words make her a shiver goes down her spine while she blushes from head to toe.

"We will see," she replies shyly. "Depends on your frivolity and the number of your children so far."

Seeing Robert's smirk growing, she's not sure if she crossed a red line. Was she ready to flirt with one of Logan's friends from New Heaven?

"You're a fascinating woman, Rory. No children yet, but definitely something we could start tonight," he wiggles his eyebrows. If she was willing to flirt with him, he would try to get the most out of it.

She tries to ignore the tingling on her neck from his breath. Smelling his unique scent, she continues to flirt with Robert.

"Perhaps we should start with buying you a parrot?" Rory suggests, smiling innocently.

"Where's the fun?" He deadpans pulling her as close as possible.

Rory likes feeling him close to her but quickly changes the conversation to his confession of owning the club.

"Okay, if you're the owner of this club what's with the strange name?"

"Reporter girl, nobody would know what I mean with in Omnia Paratus," he explains chuckling softly.

"Oh, Ready for anything! But why only "Ready for..." You could have used the whole sentence," she states.

"Sure, but I like some secrets," Robert grins. "Sorry Rory, I need to excuse myself. Do you want to sit down?"

"Sure, I just need to tell my friend Lane where I am," she answers.

Searching for Lane, Rory checks her cell. Lane wrote her a message, telling her that she already left for Rory's apartment and Rory should have fun with the gorgeous stranger. Reading the note Rory smiles mischievously.

Sitting on one of the leather couches near the bookshelves Robert returns and joins Rory, placing one arm on her shoulder.

After more bantering and obvious flirting from both sides, Robert pulls her closer until she's sitting comfortably on his lap. A little nervously she's tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

Feeling his heart pounding, he reaches gently out to caress her lips with his right thumb, wandering with both hands still holding her cheeks. Rory's feeling a slight rise in her cheeks. Moving closer to her, he traces her lips tenderly with his tongue. She's slowly runs a hand through his thick dark hair. Separating her lips with his tongue, she grants him entry. She looks at his face and his green eyes gazing at her adoringly, make her melt in his kiss. Closing her eyes they deepen their kiss, he groans softly in her mouth. Exploring each other mouths with passion, hands are starting to explore each others bodies too. He can feel his arousal increasing.
