EPISODE 2

JR followed Sue Ellen down the hall...unable to keep his eyes off her gorgeous legs...upon reaching the bedroom, JR grabbed Sue Ellen and pressed his body against hers..."You have know idea how much I want you," he whispered just before sliding his tongue into Sue Ellen's mouth.

Sue Ellen knew now she'd reached the point of no return. What the hell am I doing, she asked herself. The thought didn't last long though...Sliding her hand JR's body...first his chest...then on down to his waist...and lower... Feeling his huge erection, Sue Ellen quickly undid JR's belt...

JR quickly began unbuttoning Sue Ellen's blouse...finally there was nothing between them...JR picked Sue Ellen up and carried her across the room to the dresser. Sitting her down on the dresser, JR entered her quickly...

The sheer feeling of him inside her, caused Sue Ellen to climax quickly..."Oh God, JR!" she called out.

JR didn't last much longer... Once he could breathe again, JR kissed Sue Ellen passionately and carried her to the bed. The two of them continued kissing passionately for a while.

"I'm sorry I didn't last long, darlin," whispered JR. "It'll be better next time, I promise."

"You were wonderful," laughed Sue Ellen. "I guess we both needed it bad, didn't we?"

"You got that right, darlin'."

Just before falling asleep, JR looked at Sue Ellen...looked deeply into her eyes... "I love you, Sue Ellen..."

Sue Ellen was thankful when he passed out before saying anything else. What have I done, she asked herself. As quietly as possible, Sue Ellen got up from the bed, went to the dresser and removed a nightgown, and headed to the living room for the couch.

The next morning, JR awoke with a slight headache. He didn't quite realize where he was at first...then it all flooded his mind...he smiled to himself as he thought of last night...and Sue Ellen. But he was somewhat perplexed that she wasn't laying in bed beside him now. After showering, he dressed and walked into the living room, finding Sue Ellen sound asleep on the couch.

His elation slowly faded as he knew what that meant...the fact that Sue Ellen was sleeping on the couch proved to him that nothing had changed...Without waking her, JR opened the door and left the room without looking back. As he exited the hotel it suddenly struck him... "Damn!" he said aloud realizing his car was still parked at the Cattlemen's Club. Making his way to the bellman, JR made arrangements for a shuttle to take him to his car.

Looking at the clock, Sue Ellen was shocked that she's slept til noon. Slowly, she made her way down the hall to the bedroom and was thankful to find that JR had already left. Deciding today would be a good day to see a realtor, Sue Ellen showered and was in the process of drying her hair when the phone rang.

"Hello."

"Mrs. Lockwood, this is Greg," said her attorney. "You should be happy to know that Don has agreed to a no-contest divorce. The hearing, which is just a formality, is scheduled two weeks from Monday."

"Do I have to be present?"

"That's the bad part. Yes, you do have to be present."

"I see. Well, if that's the worst part, I suppose it's not so bad...Thank you, Greg."

Hanging up the phone, Sue Ellen continued to get ready. Choosing a low-cut white stretch blouse and jeans, she dressed and headed out the door.

SOUTHFORK

"Hello JR," called out Miss Ellie from the den. "Where were you last night?"

"Oh...I was working late at Ewing Oil and decided to stay at the condo...I know I should have called. Where is John Ross?"

"He and Christopher are out riding their horses. I expect they'll be back anytime."

"I'll be back down in a bit," said JR as he climbed the stairs.

"Why didn't he answer the phone if he was at Ewing Oil?" Miss Ellie said aloud.

Closing the door behind him, JR sat down on the bed. "What the hell was I thinking?"

And then it hit him...JR remembered telling Sue Ellen he loved her...

After dinner, everyone retreated to the den for drinks. JR excused himself. "I need to go out for a bit," he announced.

"Again?" asked Bobby. "Something tells me JR has a significant other," he kidded.

"It's just business, Bob."

"Well...don't work too hard," Bobby called out as JR was leaving.

DALLAS

Sue Ellen relaxed on the couch, looking over the photos of some of the homes the realtor thought would be of interest to her. Hearing a knock at the door, she became nervous...as there was only one person besides her attorney who knew where she was...

"Come in JR," she said.

"You look good, Sue Ellen," said JR as he looked her up and down.

"Thank you...you look good yourself..." Pointing at the loveseat, she continued. "Have a seat."

The two of them sat in uncomfortable silence for a few minutes.

"Sue Ellen, I came here to apolo..."

"You don't have to apologize, JR," interrupted Sue Ellen.

"I couldn't get you off my mind all day."

"Nor could I get my mind off you," replied Sue Ellen.

"I am sorry, Sue Ellen. I was very drunk and..."

"JR, this is how I feel about last night. There's nothing for either of us to ashamed about. It's not as if we're strangers..."

"How would you like to start over?" asked JR hopefully. "Get to know each other again."

"I'm afraid I can't do that, JR. Not again. I've finally come to the realization that the only thing we really have in common is...sex."

"How can you say that after all these years? Not everything was bad, Sue Ellen."

"I didn't say everything was bad, JR. I just stated the simple truth."

"So, where do we go from here?"

"My attorney informed me today that my divorce will be final two weeks from Monday. I have to go back to London to finalize everything."

"And then?"

Pointing to the real estate papers on the table, Sue Ellen continued. "I'm moving back to Dallas. You didn't tell John Ross I'm here, did you?"

"No...But...how would you like to come out to the ranch for dinner? Mama and everybody would be glad to see you..."

"I will when I get back from London. Until then, I'd appreciate it if you could keep this a secret between us. I'll talk to John Ross when I get back."

"I promise I won't tell anyone." Getting up, JR walked to the door. "I gotta get back to the ranch. Can I call you?"

Sue Ellen walked to the door...face to face with JR, she pressed her lips to his sensuously. "I'll call you if I need you," she said seductively.
