Jess opened her eyes and glanced over at the clock on her nightstand…4:14 AM. She turned slightly towards the warmth lying next to her…Nickolas…she smiled as she looked at him, reaching out she brushed strands of silky blond hair from his forehead. Her face darkened with worry as she watched him sleeping. So peaceful, calm…all the pain and worry erased from his face that had been there the evening before while they talked. Her fingers lightly caressed his cheek as she leaned closer…placing a soft kiss on his lips. Moving the covers, she slowly slipped from the bed and walked to the window seat. She leaned down and picked up Nick's discarded T-shirt from the floor. Pausing for a moment, she held it to her face and closing her eyes breathed in. Smiling lightly as she smelled his scent, then slipped it over her head, covering her naked body. She slid onto the window seat, pulling her legs up under the shirt and leaned back against the pillows. Sighing softly, she watched Nick sleeping. Memorizing every feature in his face, even though she'd already done it years ago. She'd watched him grow up…going from the scrawny, obnoxious little boy…to the lanky teenager…to the beautiful man who lay in front of her now. Tears welled up in her eyes as she watched him…remembering the nite before…the feelings had completely overwhelmed her. Feeling his warm lips pressing against hers…those long fingers and hands…so big, but so amazingly gentle touching her…feeling him inside her…the memory of that feeling made her body tremble. She was confused, twisted up inside…how was she going to tell him? She didn’t want to hurt him, but knew when she told him…Jess sighed and leaned her head back against the wall, closing her eyes as the tears fell down her face.
"Baby?" Jess's eyes flew open and she quickly brushed the tears from her face. "Jess…are you ok?" Nick's soft voice from the bed questioned her. In the dim light he hadn't seen her crying. Jess stood and walked back to the bed, slipping under the covers. Nick's arms wrapped quickly around her body, drawing her close as he curled his body up behind hers, nuzzling his face into her neck. His lips lightly traveled along her neck, his hands slowly caressed her stomach as his fingers slipped under the T-shirt. Jess found herself moaning softly as his fingers found her breast, cupping it and gently squeezing as she rolled over. Nick moved his hand and allowed her to pull the shirt up over her head and then leaning down he took her nipple in his mouth. Her fingers twisted in his hair as her eyes fluttered, moaning softly as his mouth sucked gently on the tender nipple. She cried out softly as his teeth grazed across the sensitive bud and arched up to him…sliding her hands down across his back she felt him tense as he moved his body to slowly cover hers. Groaning softly Nick pressed his body down against Jess's…and both again cried out softly as he penetrated her. He slid in easily and her legs quickly wrapped around him, neither made a sound as once again they became lost in one another. Only the soft moans that escaped occasionally from their throats cut through the darkness. Suddenly Jess cried out…calling out Nick's name as the two came together…he groaned as his body released into hers, filling her with warmth. Rolling off of her, Nick pulled Jess against him, their bodies trembling together, Nick's arms tightened around her and softly his voice whispered against her ear, "I love you Jessalyn." She felt him sigh softly, contentedly, and then drifted back into a calm, peaceful sleep.
Jess closed her eyes, feeling the tears falling again…she was a horrible person…she knew it and she knew she was about to rip out the heart of her best friend…and there was no way to stop it from happening.
