Disclaimers: I don't own these characters, I'm not making money off of this (although that would be nice) and I certainly don't mean any infringement; I merely borrowed them for a little while to let out my creativity. So don't sue me.

Author's Notes: This is my second fanfic based on Melanie and Lindsay. Like I've said before, I think these characters are really great, and it bugs the hell out of me that they are not given better story lines on the show. I guess that just gives me more of a chance to write my own stories. Anyway, enough babbling. My email is there, so if you could drop me a line or two to tell me what you think, I would really appreciate it. Enjoy!

The soft rain fell steadily outside as the trees blew in the breeze. There was a sense of tranquility in the air as Melanie and Lindsay were settled on the couch near the fireplace, enjoying each other's company.

"Linds?" the dark haired woman asked.

"Mmm hmm?" Lindsay didn't move from her comfortable position on the couch.

"I just wanted to check if you were still awake."

"How could I be asleep with you here beside me like this?" Lindsay tilted her head up to look into her partner's eyes.

In the soft glow of the fire, Melanie looked even more beautiful. The shadows that fell across her face illuminated her bronze skin and the look in her eyes was enough to let Lindsay know what she was thinking.

Melanie chuckled. "Oh, so you can't sleep when you're around me? I find that hard to believe. You always sleep like a baby in bed."

"Mmmm, but that's after I relieve my tension. . ." Lindsay leaned in to kiss Melanie deeply. She gently swept her tongue into Melanie's searing mouth and reached up to pass her fingers through her dark mane. Melanie proceeded to pull Lindsay closer to her until she rested fully on above her. Melanie caressed Lindsay's golden locks as they continued kissing passionately.

Lindsay slowly parted from her partner's lips, leaving a trail of kisses along Melanie's neck. She tenderly lifted her partner's shirt to reveal a flat abdomen and full, round breasts. Lindsay gazed at her body lovingly before returning to what she had started.

She gently grasped Melanie's breasts and continued the motion with her mouth as she hungrily nibbled and sucked. Melanie let out a soft moan and reached up to run her fingers through Lindsay's hair. Lindsay then preceded downward and began fiddling with the zipper on Melanie's pants. As if to purposely keep them from continuing, the zipper would not budge.

"Umm, Melanie?" Melanie chuckled and began to work on the stubborn zipper herself. After what seemed an eternity, it finally gave.

"Now where were we?. . ." said Lindsay, not missing a beat. She slowly removed Melanie's pants and began tugging at her panties, but Melanie stopped her once more.

"What is it?" Lindsay asked.

"Don't you think it would be a better idea if we continued this upstairs?" replied Melanie. Lindsay grinned and signaled upstairs with her head.

"I feel like a teenager sneaking around in my parents house!" Lindsay laughed and followed Melanie to their room. She then pulled Melanie to her.

"Now, if there will be no more interruptions. . ." Lindsay rested Melanie on the bed. She quickly disposed of her own clothing, and removed Melanie's panties with her teeth. She then reached for Melanie's throbbing mound. Melanie gasped, and Lindsay smiled to herself, loving to give her wife pleasure. She gently parted her partner's lips, and inserted her fingers. Melanie groaned. As she approached her climax, Lindsay stopped, and resting her body on top of Melanie's, began rocking back and forth.

Melanie reached up to grab the bed posts. As they both climaxed, Lindsay looked deep into Melanie's eyes and softly said, "Oh god, Melanie, I-I love you. . ."

After a few minutes passed and their breathing subsided, Melanie looked down at Lindsay, who was sleeping quietly. She adoringly stroked her hair and whispered, "I love you too, Linds." With that, Melanie placed a gentle kiss on Lindsay's head, and after gazing one more time at her beautiful wife, slowly drifted off to sleep.
