CHAPTER 2

"What am I doing" Nick thought to himself as he walked down the street getting further and further away from Zoe's front door. He couldn't believe he was throwing away an opportunity like this because he was nervous. He had never been a coward and was not prepared to become one now. Nick turned around and walked back to Zoe's.

He knocked on the door and she answered.

He stood there with his head hanging, staring at the ground leaning with one hand on the door frame. After a few seconds he looked up, and simply said, "Hi".

"Hi", replied Zoe cautiously.

Much to Nick's surprise, tears were still streaming down Zoe's face, even worse so than before. Nick put one arm across her back and scooped another behind her legs, picking her up (quite literally sweeping her off her feet). The moment needed no words. Unlike before, they both knew exactly where this was going.

Nick needed no directions to Zoe's bedroom. He carried her up the stairs, through her bedroom door and placed her on the bed.

Zoe couldn't understand why she was still crying, this was something that she had been dreaming about for months.

Nick lay down on his side and propped his head up with one hand. He then attempted to console Zoe. He took one finger and ran it across Zoe's face, wiping away he tears. He then continued to move his finger southwards. He ran it slowly between Zoe's breasts until the first button of Zoe's shirt stopped him from going further. Then, with one hand he undid each button of her shirt.

Nick was teasingly slow as he could see how much Zoe craved him. Her longing and neediness for him heightened all his senses.

Now that Zoe's shirt was unbuttoned, Nick, with his feather light touch traced a line from between her breasts to her naval where he lingered before continuing down to between her legs. Underneath Zoe's skirt, Nick traced circles into her upper thigh and gradually moved his hand further up her legs until he was finally at her knickers which he smoothly pulled down. He could tell she was aroused but wanted to feel exactly how wet she was. As he did so, Zoe arched her back in delight.

Finally, the silence was broken as Zoe, through her tears whispered, "Nick".

Nick was lost in the moment so ignored her. He hadn't realised how much he had missed her over the years they had been apart. With two of his fingers he began stimulating her below. Zoe groaned loudly while Nick buried his head in her bosom. He gently thrust his fingers into her. It was clear to Zoe that Nick hadn't lost his touch; she on the other hand was feeling slightly rusty. The last time she had experienced the touch of a man, it had been Nick and it was obvious from how sensitive she was to each of Nick's actions.

Zoe placed her hand on his to stop his movement; she didn't want the moment to end too quickly.

She sat up and fully removed her shirt and then her bra leaving her fully exposed. Meanwhile, Nick knelt down between her legs, pulling her skirt off her legs. Zoe felt so unbelievably vulnerable right now, completely naked and barely passed her tears while Nick looked over her, still in his shirt and trousers. At that moment Nick unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his manly chest, maybe he didn't have the best body but Zoe still loved it. Nick took off his belt and to expose his bulge which was visibly throbbing. Within seconds Nick was also naked and positioning himself at Zoe's opening.

With one swift movement he entered her. Both let out a moan of relief. Nick's thrusts were long and deep, with each one he increased his pace.

"Urgh… Nick…" cried Zoe as he took one of her exposed breasts into his mouth. Zoe's groans increased in volume and she approached climax. With one final thrust Zoe reached climax, as she her body quivered and she tensed around Nick which in turn sent him into ecstasy. He finished while still inside her and then withdrew while still semi erect.

Minutes had passed and still not a word spoken. Nick and Zoe just lay there, staring at the ceiling, catching their breath.

"Some things never go away" said Zoe. No one had ever satisfied her in the same way that he did. Her words were the last sound that fell upon the room that night. Zoe turned to face Nick, wrapped one of her legs across him, cupped his groin with one of her hands and rested her head on his chest.

It was in that position that Zoe fell asleep. Nick on the other hand couldn't sleep. As much as he enjoyed what had happened between him and Zoe, he could help but feel uncomfortable with the situation. It had only been a few days since he an Yvonne broke up and now he was in bed with another woman, now he was in bed with Zoe.

He didn't know much except that he needed to leave. He needed to wake up in his own bed in the morning, so quietly rose from Zoe's bed and dressed himself.

He took one last look at Zoe and walked out towards the front door. His actions would surely have consequences in the morning.
