"Because you are fucking amazing and i felt like it"-he replied

Leigh sighted. "I guess I should be flattered to be kissed by Mr Westwick. But you do realise that it's not something we should be continuing on another level?

"What another level? I thought we were fake shagging for over 4 years now.. I know your bra size and what colour knickers you wear..." he smirked. Leigh felt rush of blood in to her cheeks

"Ed seriously! Enough. I know you like teasing me. But your sarky humour is going too far! You are making me feel uncomfortable.."

"Is that, so?" He looked up straight in to her eyes and burst out laughing.

"Okay, okay, enough already!" Leigh cried holding up her hands. "I must get ready for the party. I seriously do not have enough time to engage into stupid word play..." She moved further away from him and walked in to the dressing room.

"Leigh!" Ed shouted back. "Do you want to go together?"

"What kind of question is that?" she turned around with the eyebrows raised.

"A very genuine one" He stood up and walked towards her... Leighton's heart started pounding faster and faster. She knew what effect Ed had on her close up

"Well," Ed purred, leaning forward, "Where was I?"

"Ed," Leigh began to protest as he placed a soft kiss on the corner of her lips.

But as Ed's lips fastened firmly over hers, she found that she had neither ability nor wish to object.

Unable to resist her increasing arousal, Leighton pressed her body against his.

She had to admit to herself that she secretly loved it whenever Ed was trying to get closer... All the memories of those steamy sex scenes were flowing in her head.

Ed pulled away just for a second to see her face. He needed confirmations she was into him. It was not the first time he wished kissing her. For real. Not as Chuck Bass. Not in front of the cameras. Not in front of her boyfriend. But there was always something stopping him. He was never too sure whether Leigh liked him more than just a friend.

Leigh's eyes were closed and her breathing was deep. He firmly pushed her towards the wall. A rush of heat went through her body.

His left hand fingers slowly stroked upwards over her bare thigh to the edge of the skirt.

He paused, making Leighton's body protest for stopping. She arched her back to meet his hand following the curves of her bottom. Sensation was unreal, it was like electric waves crashing into her hand went up and halted at her breasts.. Leigh sighed deeply into their passionate kiss as Ed firmly pressed against it.

She felt him. She felt his erection on her right leg. A tingle of desire deep between Leighton's thighs was ever increasing. Every stroke of his fingers made her yearn his body close. She knew he could feel it and didn't care. Not anymore.

"Oh, dear God" Leigh whispered before Edward's hungry lips silenced her once more. But this time with even meaner kiss.

Leighton felt Ed's fingers slowly negotiating the buttons of her blouse.. The garment parted and revealed more and more of the cleavage..It fell open at last. Ed pushed the blouse back from Leigh's shoulders and lowered his head to suckle on the erect nipple.

Thrilling and electrifying sensation of the moist lips and tongue eagerly drawing on her breast made her sensations go through the roof. Leigh grabbed his hair and pulled him even closer..

Ed suddenly kicked her legs apart and she felt like climaxing there and then! His hand slid up the inside her burning wetness. He moved his fingers faster and faster making her arch in raw passion...

"Now!" she pleaded, running fingers through Ed's brown hair. She was so overwhelmed, she didn't notice that it all stopped.

When she opened eyes again a few seconds later, she saw that Ed had pulled back and was staring at her , gapping in astonishment.

Suddenly she realised the mistake she's done "Oh, Ed" said in a culpable manner. "I want to. God knows, I really do. But..."

Ed leaned back and sat on the edge of sofa. He couldn't understand how this kiss went so far...or why did he actually stop himself. He was throbbing with desire, the lust; the need of her body was incredible.

"Penn. Of course. I realise you are trying to make it work." He put his face into the palms and breathed in deeply. "I have to go see Chase" Ed got up and began walking towards the door. "See you at the party".

"Ed.." she was still standing against the wall. Only strong will power and guilt stopped her from running towards him and telling him how she felt. How she felt for the last 5 years..Since the very first day she saw him.

Leighton stood there, in the same spot for another thirty minutes unable to move. She clearly knew she shouldn't have let this happen. What about Vanessa? She was her friend and friends do not fuck each other's ex's. She knew she messed up, but whether to tell Vanessa about this encounter was another question..

And what about Penn? They recently got together. And, yes, of course they haven't even reached the intimate stage, but this was so unfair to him.

She finally calmed down and decided to take a quick shower.

Once water was running through her body, she felt as if Ed's strong arms were caressing her. She felt his soft kisses on her neck, back, stomach...her hand moved down her thigh towards the essence of desire. Heat from the kiss was killing her; lust he awakened in her was too much to handle...

Ed walked into the apartment block on Wall Street. He looked around, it was getting dark, and concierge desk was empty. He stood in an empty hall trying to compose. He was walking all the way from Leighton's apartment, still couldn't believe that he almost had sex with HER.

It felt different this time. He had never had such strong passion for anyone. Not even his long term girlfriend. "Fuck it!" he said out loud. "These feeling are not welcome, at least not from her side, isn't it? She doesn't like me that way.. She probably just aroused of the Bass idea..", and didn't expect anyone to reply.

"Mr. Crawford, is expecting you, sir" Ed jumped slightly, looked around and saw concierge guy starring at him.

"Sure, on my way up" He leaped forward towards the lift.

19th floor, apartment 3. Thirty two steps from the elevator on the left. Two knocks. Ed tried not to think about her. He knew Chase will sniff something is wrong.

"Hey, Wanker!" doors opened with Chase laughing. " I was expecting you a bit earlier! Where were you? We are going to be late". He didn't even look at Ed's face, turned around and walked off letting Ed to close the door.

"I spoke with Penn, we are going to meet up just before the entrance, so could do the press photos together. I know Jess is not coming tonight..So at least no dramas there and..." he continued his tirade till suddenly noticed Ed still hasn't muttered a word.

"What's up, man?" Chase turned around and put hand on Ed's shoulder. "Where have you been?"

"I have decided to see Leighton before we went.." Ed moved away from Chase so he couldn't see his face. He starred through the window.

"Ok." Chase looked confused. "Did you have an argument or something?"

"Not quite" Ed hissed. "We've...we have almost had ..."

"No, MAN! Please do not let me hear the word!" Chase started moving around the room erratically. "You do realise that she is with Penn? I mean you had a window to jump in after she split with Seb, or even before she started dating him...I mean but now..." He pulled concerned face.

"Don't you think I know! Why do you think I said we ALMOST did it?" Ed scratched his head. "I need a drink" He passed Chase and went straight to the drinks cabinet. "You want some?"

"I fucking need some". Chase said. "I know you like her. A lot. But does she?"

"I think she does. I mean I don't know. Shit. I just hoped it will work out. Fuck! Motherfucking shit fuck!" He looked stressed. "I fucking love this girl, but she never responded to me in a sexual way. Like when we were alone. There was some flirting, and maybe touching. I don't know. I thought if I kissed her, she would have opened up about her feelings..Shit!"

"What did she say?" Chase starred at Ed whilst handling him bottle of Dissarono.

"Nothing" Ed took the bottle and drank it straight from it. "She said nothing"

"Bro, I think we need to get to that party. Get some pics taken, and maybe you can chat with her there. This way none of you could get into some kind of emotional scene" Chase seemed confident of his idea.

"Ok. Let get a move on." – Ed moved towards the door quickly, just noticing that Chase was fixing his hair in front of the mirrored cabinet. "Oi, you fag! We do not have time, remember?"

Party was in a full swing. Ed was looking out for Leighton but she was late.

He kept glaring at his watch and could barely understand conversations around him. He was not in a good place. Nervous? Excited to see her? Guilty? All these mixed emotions were making him loose his cool.

"What is wrong with me" he thought. "I am not supposed to be like this, we spent so much time together. But I never ..." He looked at Chase. "Maybe she is not going to come? What if I upset her?" Ed couldn't stop tapping his foot.

"Did she slap you first time you kissed her? Did she seem to enjoy...whatever you were doing?"

"I mean..NO. She seemed to like my fingers up..." Ed stopped and starred at Chase. "What you getting at?"

"Seriously, man! What's wrong with you? I don't need bloody details! Did your brain go mush all of a sudden? Chase seemed to be shocked by Ed's almost-confession. "You are such a pervert"

At that moment both boys turned around and saw Leighton coming in with her PR. She seemed glowing and radiant. The strapless dress was of a lovely ivory colour and hemline not longer than her lower bottom. She wore high heeled sandals which made her legs look so sexy and irresistible.

"Shit" Ed looked at the ground. "She looks fucking amazing!"

"Concentrate. Her boyfriend is here too." Chased tried to calm Ed down. "Just breathe and think of Jess"

"What the Fuck are you talking about?" Edward raised his eyebrows

"I mean she isn't the most attractive woman, and so..vicious sometimes..!" -Chase would have continued his tirade, but look from Ed's face stopped him.

"Dude! She was my girlfriend! Not cool!"

"I thought you were imaging LeiLei whilst doing that..ONE"- Chase cheekily raised his eyebrow

"Fuck off! I am going to talk to her now" - said as he walked off.

Only one thought was on his mind. Leighton. Leighton in a pretty dress. Leighton in a pretty short dress with her breast exposed...It was not only one thought anymore. There were many. And not so pure.

"Make sure you take her to private room. In case, you know.. You want to discuss ALL the options.." - Chase shouted upon Ed.

Leighton dreaded coming to the party. She just didn't know if she could handle him being around. This sexual energy hasn't left her body and was making her to crave for more.

"Damn you E!" said silently to herself.

"Leighton!" – She got a bit shocked and shrugged a little. "I was looking for you. You did not answer my calls."

"Sorry Penn, I was running late. Was on the phone with my brother all afternoon" – Leigh leaned to kiss him on the cheek.

"Excuse me? I am your soon-to-be-proper-boyfriend, do I not deserve proper kiss?"- Penn looked intently in to her eyes.

"Penn don't be silly!" – sighted Leighton. "Sure. Why not" – kissed him with a forced weak smile.

"That's much better! "- He chirped. "You know the guys and I were taking some press photos together and I overheard Ed saying that he likes kissing you. I mean that guy would do anything to get press attention!"

"Huh?" Leigh looked confused. "He said what? Why? I don't understand why would he..?

"Leigh...as if he never said that before? You were giving hints too years back. I KNOW PR and promotion is such a big deal here... Especially when ratings are down and somebody's career is still." – Penn continued.

"Penn, there is something we need to talk about..." – Leighton looked down on to the floor. Her eyes were wandering as she was unable to look at him straight. Suddenly her sight caught familiar figure coming towards them. Her heart sank for a second before starting to beat faster and faster.

"Sure. We should just go somewhere more private then" – He winked at her.

"LeiLei! I am glad you made it!" – Ed looked at Leighton and then Penn. "Would you mind if I steal your princess for a second? We haven't finished discussing one pressing matter before I left for the party?

Penn looked confused. Didn't she say she was on the phone with her brother? "Sure. Do not keep her for too long."

He leaned closer to Ed and whispered: "We were about to have to have a 'private CHAT'.

Edward closed his eyes and took a deep breath "No problem mate"

"Lei, shall we go?" He put his hand on her lower back and felt the shiver going down her spine. Slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Ok. You definitely need to elaborate something to me. See you in a second darling" – She glanced quickly to Penn before walking off.

They walked without talking for what seemed an eternity. Finally Ed pointed towards the door at the very end of the hall.

"There? Really? ". - Leighton raised her eyebrow suspiciously. "Hope you are not pulling any earlier stunts on me"

Ed looked at her from the corner of his eyes.

"Please" He opened the door. Leighton walked by slowly just about touching his leg. "Don't worry. I do not bite. Not unless you ask."

Room was dimmed. Only large chandelier was glowing high on the ceiling. It seemed like an office of some sort. Full of books and antique furniture. Various portraits were covering the walls.

Leighton sat down on the nearby chair. "These sandals are killing me!" She bent down to remove them.

"Yes, Ed? Is there anything you want to say to me?" she paused as she saw his mouth opening.

There was a momentary pause before he grinned, leaning back against the door.

Leigh frowned as she waited him to say something, only noticing that his attention was focused on her chest. Sense of heat rushed through her stomach.

"I have just came over to see how you doing" Ed looked a bit dishevelled. "What happened earlier today... I kind of feel partly responsible for it" He looked down to the floor. "Look, I shouldn't have kissed you like that and..." Ed tugged his finger through the hair and his misty gaze snapped back to her exposed cleavage.

Leigh clearly knew the dress showed off her cleavage, but the thought of him admiring her body stopped from pulling it up. For a second she had shocked even herself with the crazy thought that had flashed into her mind. It was almost certainly entrapment, and could kill off her good reputation. Should she care...No one's looking..

She kept her eyes fixed on Ed. Reading his rising excitement she crossed her legs exposing her tight bottom. She leaned even more and set off to stroke her legs. Leighton's fingers continued moving higher and higher – until she reached the hem of the dress. She circled petite fingers close to her inner thighs...

Ed looked as though he had been hypnotised. He couldn't move or say anything anymore. All apologies and guilt has left his body. At least for now, at least for the moment. In a leap of a second he moved across the room towards her.

"Leighton..You shouldn't be doing this." there was a strange pleading in his voice, and a desperate longing in his brown eyes. Leighton couldn't resist. She smiled and held his hand. Then very gently pressed it over the peak of her breast.

He groaned loudly and Leighton felt her nipple spring up hard against his palm. She closed her eyes and threw back her long brown hair.

"Oh God! This is so wrong! So Very, very wrong" But it was too late. Ed had woken something in her that she hadn't felt for months.

"Leighton, shouldn't we talk before us..." - She put her little palm against his lips to shut him up. She didn't want to hear it. She was lost, lost in her temptation. There was no need for words, it was just sex.

Leighton pulled his hand and led him towards the edge of the desk. She pushed him gently so he sat down. She was not thinking, her mind was preoccupied with the complexities of Ed's trouser zip.

It finally opened at the third time of trying. Allowing the huge bulge inside to spring free.

"Leigh...I really think we should..." - Ed's words were lost to a gasp as Leighton pulled her dress up. He noticed she did not wear any underwear. She pressed against him and suddenly slipped his massive erection between her damp thighs.

He was shaking like a tree caught in gale. Leighton twisted her fingers into his hair, admiring how sexy he is. Her blood was pumping and she heard her own voice cry out as she started riding Ed wildly.

"Fuck me" she demanded, only half-aware of what was she saying. Her head lolled backwards, eyes fluttering shut, and then open, as she felt moving towards that line where self control no longer existed. Ed jerked beneath her, thrusting upwards and pushing her to the very edge!

"God, yes!" he groaned without a care. "Yes!" Ed moved beneath her, his own breathing was faster and faster and more ragged now. He felt she was nearly climaxing, he grabbed her dress and pulled it down revealing gorgeous breasts. He bent forwards with his besotted mouth and started biting and sucking it. He felt her losing control. He wanted her to be his, he wanted her shout his name whilst he was thrusting inside her.

Leigh clutched him tightly as the climax was reaching the very peak, she felt him pouring his lust into her.

In a second it was over. Ed looked at her dark eyes and buried his face once more in her breasts, spent and panting as if he had ran a marathon.
