Feelings

Nick was still sat on the floor wrapped in his quilt as he felt Jess wrap her arms tightly around him, burying her face in his neck. "Thank you so much, Nick! I got my dream job and it's all thanks to you! I'm going to make you the BEST chicken noodle soup you've ever had!" She pulled back, beaming at him almost blindingly before she shot up and headed over to the kitchen. He watched as she skipped away, not able to keep his eyes from falling to her ass in those tight jeans. He squeezed his eyes shut and clenched his teeth. She's not yours anymore.

"Hey, Nick? You should go back to bed. Once your soup is done I'll bring it in for you."

Nick heard her call from the kitchen, but honestly he didn't really feel like going back into his room with Winston and Cece, he just wanted to have his bed to himself so he could sleep for twelve hours and forget this day had ever happened. The truth was, He had meant everything he said. He didn't regret kissing Jess, how could he? After that kiss he had spent almost a year with the woman of his dreams.

They had fallen in love and it had been beyond anything he could have ever hoped for. He couldn't have her asking what he meant by everything he had said because deep down, he still loved her with every fiber of his being and lying to her was something he couldn't do. If she were to ask too many questions, he knows he would cave and let it slip that his feelings had never gone away.

Suddenly she appeared before him, the sleeves of her sweater pulled up and her cheeks flushed from standing over the hot stovetop, her big blue eyes wide with concern. God, she's beautiful. She knelt down in front of him and placed one of her small hands on his forehead, worry flashing in her gaze. "You're burning up, Nick. Let's get you back to bed." His heart was pounding in his chest, it had been so long since they had been this close to each other and she was being so sweet, so Jess, taking care of him.

"Naw, I'm okay here Jess. Winston and Cece are still in my room and I just don't…"

"C'mon, Nicholas." She pulled on his arm, still wrapped up the quilt and he stood up slowly, groaning as he felt his entire body ache. "You can take my bed, I know you prefer it over your lumpy matress." She chuckled and pulled him towards her room. "Jess, it's okay… I can just stay on the couch." Jess whipped her head around and gave him one of her scary teacher looks. "No, Nick! You're sick and I won't take no for an answer!" Nick was much too weak to fight her, so he just stood and watched as she pulled her comforter back and fluffed her pillows for him.

She turned back towards him and gave him a smile that made his heart flutter in his chest, he smiled back weakly and walked towards her bed ready to climb in, quilt still wrapped around his shoulders. "Wait!" He looked back at Jess and watched as she pulled the quilt from his body and gestured for him to lay down. Once he was laying down, Jess pulled her blankets over him and tucked him in. His eyes drooped instantly, he had forgotten how amazingly comfortable her bed was.

"Stay here and rest, I'll be back with your soup. Twenty minutes." As he listened to her speak, he could have sworn in his feverish haze that he felt her soft lips against his forehead before he heard her leave the room, quietly closing the door behind her.

He must've dozed off in Jess's absence because he was suddenly awoken by the sound of her soft voice and tiny hand running through his hair. "Wake up, Nicholas. Your soup is ready, sweetheart." Nick thought he was dreaming, but when he opened his eyes, there she was seated on the edge of the bed smiling down at him sweetly. "C'mon, sit up. This may be my best chicken noodle soup ever!" She smiled proudly and he couldn't help but chuckle as he struggled to sit up.

When he was finally able to pull himself up into a seated position, Jess placed a tray with a steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup, a big glass of icy cold water and some tylenol for his fever. "Thank you, Jess. This was really nice of yah." Jess grabbed his hand and gently squeezed. "It's the least I can do, Nick. You helped me out so much today. Now, Eat!"

Jess watched Nick's pathetic attempt to eat the soup she had prepared for him, just watching him made her muscles ache. "Here, let me." She took the spoon from his hand and dipped it back in the soup, getting a good spoonful and bringing it up to his mouth. "Here comes the airplane!" Nick's face went full on turtle and Jess couldn't contain the chuckle that escaped. "Seriously, Jess? I don't need you to feed me." Jess brought her hand up to his stubbled cheek, gently caressing it. "I know, but watching you is kind of pathetic, Nick. I can tell you're hurting, just let me help you, kay?" Nick nodded back weakly before opening his mouth for the spoon.

Once the soup was gone and the tylenol was taken, Jess took the tray off of his lap and stood up to take the dishes to the kitchen. She felt Nick's hand wrap around her wrist and she turned back to look at him, hair a mess and his face flushed with fever. "Jess, will you lay with me?" She knew it was a terrible idea, they weren't together anymore. She still loved him, more than anything, but nothing could come of it, they didn't work. But as she looked down at him all snuggled up in her bed, hair sticking out from all angles and his brown eyes gazing up her, she couldn't fight it. He was adorable and sexy and she always wanted to take care of him, give him everything he wanted.

"Of course. Just let me take this back to the kitchen and I'll come back and lay with you."

As Nick watched Jess leave the room once again, he sighed heavily. He knew asking her to lay with him was entering dangerous territory, but he couldn't help it. He would never admit this to anyone, but he loved to cuddle, especially when he was sick and the thought of being cuddled up with the woman he loved was too overwhelming to ignore. He needed her and he was sick, so he had an excuse. He closed his eyes and snuggled deeper into the comfort of her bed, waiting for her to return.

As Jess finished up the last of the dishes, she dried her hands and leaned against the kitchen counter. She squeezed her eyes shut and breathed in deeply. Her mind kept wandering to the sound of Nick's weak voice, asking her to lay with him. The voice in her head on repeat. Don't do it, Jessica Day. You know this is a terrible idea. But, she had already made her decision, Nick was sick and he needed her. Not letting herself overthink it, she walked back towards her bedroom.

Jess walked into her room and closed the door quietly behind her, as she turned back towards Nick she couldn't help but smile. He had fallen asleep while she was in the kitchen. His mouth was hanging open and she could hear a light snore escape every once in awhile. God, he's just too cute. She felt her heart flutter in her chest. As she went to walk over to her closet to change into one of her "pajama outfits" as Nick called them, she noticed his green henley and grey sweatpants lying on the floor next to the bed. He must've gotten hot. The thought of laying in her bed with an almost naked Nick Miller sent a shiver down her spine. It had been so long.

She reached her closet and found herself reaching for a pair of tight black yoga shorts instead of her normal pajamas. She pulled her jeans and panties off and stepped into the shorts, catching a glimpse of her backside in her full length mirror, she wasn't sure if they could even be considered actual shorts, they were definitely bordering that fine line between shorts and panties. Her ass cheeks were hanging out the bottom of them, but the thought of Nick in her bed in only his boxers made her feel hot all over. Two can play at this game.

Pulling her sweater over her head, she reached behind her back to unhook her bra, throwing both garments into the dirty clothes hamper next to her. With a devious smile on her face, Jess reached for her comfy baby blue bralette, it was sexy and lacy and see through. Something that even Cece would be shocked to find out she owned. She checked herself out in the mirror and headed over to her bed. She pulled back the comforter on her side of the bed and crawled in next to Nick, smiling as she got a peek of bare flesh and his blue and red checkered boxer shorts. She felt Nick shift in the bed next to her before he turned towards her and pulled her tightly against his body.

"I didn't think you were ever coming back, you were gone for soo long." He gave her a little pout that made her giggle, before falling back to sleep. Jess was little disappointed that he hadn't noticed her current attire, but decided to ignore it for now, due to the fact that he was still sick. She buried her face in his neck and softly kissed the skin there, just like she used to do every night before they went to sleep while they were still together. She heard him groan lightly as he pulled her impossibly closer to his bare chest as they both drifted off into a blissful sleep.

Nick awoke the next morning feeling much better, last night was the best night of sleep he'd had in almost two years and it was all thanks to her. He couldn't help the giant smile that spread across his face as he felt her petite body in his arms and her soft breaths against his neck. He cracked his eyes open and looked down at her, hair a mess and her cherry lips slightly parted as she slept. Even sleeping Jess was still the most beautiful woman he had ever laid eyes on.

He didn't want to wake her up just yet because he didn't want to lose this moment, he wanted to hold her for as long as he could before they went back to the real world. A world where she was no longer his. He slowly started running his hands up and down her spine, noticing immediately that she wasn't wearing one of her pajama outfits, but something much more… revealing. He relished in the feel of her soft bare skin under his hands as he felt himself begin to harden. This is not good, she's going to wake up and yell at me. He couldn't help himself, though. He let his hands slide up the bare skin of her hips and waist until he reached something lacy across her chest and back. He lifted the blanket up slightly to get a peek at what exactly he was feeling and the sight made his mouth water. Yup, I'm screwed.

He could see the bare soft skin of her stomach, waist and back and covering her chest was a light, lacy looking tank top bra thing that Nick had never seen before. It was baby blue and sinfully sexy, especially with those tiny little shorts she was wearing. He was fully hard now and completely aware of the fact that he was probably being super creepy, but he couldn't help but stare at her beautiful body in his arms. He felt her stir in his arms so he dropped the blanket and squeezed his eyes shut in a failed attempt to hide the fact that he was basically ogling her nearly naked body.

He felt her smile against the skin of his neck before placing a soft kiss on his skin, making him break out in goosebumps. "Good morning, Nicholas. How are you feeling today?" She whispered against him and he couldn't help but pull her tighter into his side. "I feel much better, Jessica. Thank you for letting me sleep in your bed with you, I haven't slept that good in forever." He felt her press gently against his chest as she lifted her head to look at him, the smile she gave him when their eyes locked made his heart thump in his chest.

The sight of her messy curls framing her face and her beautiful blue eyes that matched the color of her sexy top was too much for him. He squeezed his eyes shut and turned his head away from her, knowing he would do something really stupid if he didn't. He felt her moving around on the bed, thinking she was probably getting up, but instead felt the weight of her body as she straddled his thighs, leaving his more than ample erection sticking straight up from his body. Nick opened his eyes and looked up at the woman on top of him. She was truly a goddess, she was so beautiful that it physically pained him to look at her at times, times like now.

Jess gave him a wicked smile before reaching through the hole in the front of his boxers, pulling his painfully hard dick through it while pumping her soft hand up and down it's length. "Mmm, it seems you are feeling better. Is this for me, Nicholas?" Nick groaned loudly as she pumped her hand a little faster. "Fuck, Jessica. Come here!" He grabbed the hand that wasn't pumping up and down his dick so beautifully and pulled her down towards him, he buried his hands in her silky curls and kissed her deeply, loving the way she moaned into his mouth as soon as their tongues met.

Jess broke the kiss and smiled at him before lowering her lips to his neck, kissing, licking and biting her way down towards his chest, all the while still stroking his cock in her tiny hand. He knew where she was headed but he had other plans. "Stand up." Jess sat up with a confused look on her face and he couldn't help but chuckle. "Jessica, stand up." She obeyed his command and stood up next to the bed as he followed her. He pulled her tightly against his chest, kissing her once more as he dug his long fingers into her barely there shorts, pushing them down to the floor.

"No panties, Jessica?" She smiled at him sweetly as she reached for her bralette, ready to pull it over her head, but Nick stopped her. "Wait… I just…" He stepped back from her and took in the sight of her in only the see through lacy material that matched the brilliant blue of her eyes so perfectly. He could see her small rose colored nipples threatening to pop through the material and he couldn't fight the groan that rumbled from his chest. He ran his hands up and down her sides, eventually letting his fingers dip under the lacy material before pulling it over her head.

As her arms came back to rest at her sides, Nick quickly pushed his boxers to the floor before taking her perfect, perky breasts in his hands, lightly running his thumbs over her hardened nipples. He watched as her perfect lips parted and a whimper passed through. He kissed her softly once more lying back down on her bed. Jess stood next to the bed, completely naked and flushed waiting for what was to come. Nick placed his hand on her hips and pulled her gently towards him.

"Sit on my face, Jessica."

"Wait…Wha..?"

"You heard me, I want you to sit on my face so I can lick your pussy."

"Ooohh...k."

Jess slowly straddled his head, but not the way he was expecting. She straddled his head and lowered her body down so she could take his erection in her mouth, in a Sixty-Nine position. Something he had fantasized doing with her since the moment he first laid eyes on her. "Oh my god, Jess…" He felt her moan with his cock buried deep in her throat and he grabbed her ass and pulled her pussy tightly against his face, wildly licking, sucking and swirling his tongue around before dipping it inside of her, fucking her with tongue.

She let him fall from her mouth. "Oh my god, Nick!" She screamed out before taking him in her mouth once again, he could do nothing but grunt and moan against her sweet, wet flesh. She started bobbing her head up and down with unbelievable intensity as she started losing control.

Nick could tell she was close, so he removed his tongue from inside of her and replaced it with two long fingers, pumping in and out, as he took her clit between his lips and sucked lightly while simultaneously swirling his tongue around, stimulating her in the best way possible. He needed to make her come as he felt his own climax nearing with her beautiful mouth wrapped around his cock. He didn't want this to be over yet, though.

Nick felt his cock fall from her mouth as she squeezed tightly around his fingers. "Nick… Oh god, Nick I'm… I'm… UHH!" Nick held her tightly against his face as her entire body trembled in climax. He pulled his fingers out of her and sucked them clean. She rolled off of him and turned around to straddle his hips, lowering herself down onto his throbbing cock quicker than he expected. "Oh my god, Jess!" He grabbed her hips tightly as he watched her beautiful breasts bounce up and down in front of him while she rode him like her life depended on it.

"God, Nick! You feel so good… I missed you so much." She said breathlessly as she continued to ride him, throwing her head back as she let the absolute pleasure of being with the best lover she had ever had course through her body. She ran her hands up and down his chest as she looked down at him, his eyes burning into her like hot coals. No one had ever made her feel sexier than Nick. The way he looked at her was almost too much sometimes. Suddenly she felt her entire world turning as Nick grabbed her hips and flipped her over, never breaking their contact.

"I missed you too, Jessica… So much" He whispered in her ear, all gravelly and low, his voice full of sex. He slowed down the pace that Jess had set for them and kissed his way up and down her neck, eventually bringing his lips back to her ear.

"I meant everything I said last night, Jess. I never regretted kissing you and I never will. What we had… Fuck!" Jess grabbed his ass and began to tilt her hips back and forth with his efforts in a slow passionate dance. "What we had, it was amazing… I loved you so much Jess and I… I still do."

Jess felt tears prick her eyes as she listened to him whisper in her ear, how could she have ever let this man go? He was everything she had ever wanted and so much more. He was sweet and sexy and fiercely loyal and protective to the people in his life that he cared about. And the passion between them… God, the passion. It was everything she had been searching for with all the men she had dated before and after him, but the truth was, no one could compare. It was him, Nick freaking Miller, it always had been since the first time they met and it always would be.

Jess grabbed his stubbled cheeks in her hands and pulled his head up from where it was buried in her hair, she smiled at him and kissed him deeply, never stopping her hips from moving back and forth, his glorious cock still sliding in and out, almost tortuously slowly. She broke the kiss and locked eyes with him. "I love you too, Nicholas." Nick smiled so widely, she was sure his face was going to crack. But my god, did she love his smile. They both chuckled breathlessly before Nick his hips back and slammed into her.

"Nick! Oh god, yes… Fuck me harder!"

Nick grabbed both of Jess's hands in his and locked them above her head as he pounded into her. He watched as her perfect lips parted before leaning his head down to take one of her hard nipples into his mouth, gently biting the hardened nub before soothing it with his tongue.

"Come for me, Jessica. I wanna feel you come so bad, sweetheart."

Jess felt Nick's hot breath against her breast as he continued to pound into her and that's when she lost control. "I'm… Nick… Oh baby, I'm coming for you! UHHH!" Nick heard her scream and felt her walls milking his cock. "I can feel you, Jessica. Oh my god, I can feel… FUCK!" He gave her one last strong thrust as he released himself inside of her.

Nick almost collapsed on top of her, but managed to fall to the side as she slid out of her, pulling her petite body with him. They were both breathing heavily as they came down from their high. He felt Jess lift her head from his chest and as he opened his eyes and looked into her sparkling baby blues smiling back at him, he knew that, although they still had a lot to talk about, he finally had the woman of his dreams right back where she belonged. They both chuckled before she buried her face in his clammy neck and laid a kiss there.

"I love you, Nick."

"I love you too, Jess."

Nick couldn't help but think to himself as he drifted back to sleep, I am one lucky son of a bitch.
