Jess had arranged an Uber to pick them up from work, so they didn't have to worry about parking in the city. Plus, she had already booked a room at the hotel where the wedding was, you know just in case she's too drunk or finds a hot single guy to hook up with. They were barely a mile from work when Jimmy's phone rang. It was the babysitter. Victoria hadn't stopped vomiting for an hour now and she was freaking out. Jimmy tried to calm her down and asked the driver to turn around and head back to work.
"Sorry Jess, I gotta get home."
"No worries, I understand," she smiled, but she didn't. She didn't have kids and after stressing all day about going alone to this wedding, she was finally relieved to have Jimmy with her and was excited to have a good time.
Jimmy sweetly kissed her cheek before getting out of the car, "I'm so sorry, maybe another time, have fun."
Jess just smiled, "I hope Victoria feels better."
Nick was driving away from work when he saw Jimmy get out of the car and head back into work. He rolled his window down and yelled to Jess, "He forget your corsage?" Jess looked up, startled at first, but then smiled. She couldn't help but smile when Nick was around. She told the driver to hold on and she got out of the car and sauntered towards Nick. Watching his eyes go wide for the second time today because of that dress she was wearing.
"Um no, Victoria got sick, so guess I'm the sad lonely single lady tonight," she frowned, "But oh well, maybe I'll find a hot single groomsman at the wedding."
"Hey, wait, look I really hate weddings, but I hate going to weddings solo even more. Let me run home and put my tux on. I mean I don't have time to shower and clean up, so I might smell, but…"
"Ok," her smile grew, "thank you Nick."
"Text me the address, I'll meet you there."
Why were Nick's hands shaking while he tied his bowtie and button his white shirt? He hadn't worn his tux since Tim's wedding, and he hated it. He had bulked up a little since then, so the tux was a little tight around his arms, thighs and butt. He may have looked better, if that was even possible.
Jess arrived at the outdoor ceremony, it was in the garden of a hotel downtown. It was beautiful. The open bar was already pouring, so she grabbed a glass of wine and wondering around the venue. She made small talk with a few people she knew, but soon it was time to take their seats. She kept looking for Nick and a twinge of panic fell across her that maybe he'd flake as well. Why couldn't she find a nice guy who-
"He sorry, I couldn't get the bowtie tied," Nick leaned in to kiss her cheek and sat down in the chair next to her.
Jess didn't say anything at first, just admired Nick's body in that tux. "Do I smell? Was the kiss too much? I am pretending to be your date, right?"
"No, no, it's fine," she rested her hand onto his thigh, "you just look really great in a tux."
"Don't I know it," he said, landing his hand down onto hers, where is stayed for the few minutes before the music started and they all turned to watch the wedding party walk down the aisle.
After the bride walked down the aisle and everyone sat back down, Nick moved to rest his arm behind Jess on the back of her chair and she relaxed against him. It was a short but sweet ceremony, thankfully, because Jess felt like her arm was on fire against Nick. The two of them had a great relationship, more like brother and sister, but she couldn't deny that he was attractive. And until today when Jess walked out in that dress, Nick didn't realize how attracted he was to her. After he let his walls down and let Jess in a little, they had been hanging out together outside of work. Going to a bar to watch a football game or going to a Nationals game, hiking on the weekends.
The sound of everyone cheering and Nick moving to stand up, brought Jess out of her thoughts. She needed more alcohol as soon as possible, so she could get out of her own head.
As people started to leave and head to the ceremony, which was right next door in the ballroom of the hotel, Nick stepped out in the aisle and offered his arm to Jess. She smiled and accepted it, and they walked arm and arm down the aisle, both smiling to themselves.
"Drink?" he asked when they reached the ballroom. "God, yes. Glass of red wine please."
"Oh, so we're getting wine drunk tonight?"
"Hey, I got a room upstairs, I've got nowhere to go tonight."
Nick's eyebrows rose, "Oh really, you already planning on getting in my pants tonight?"
Jess blushed, but she was used to this banter between the two of them. "Well, if you get me drunk enough anything could happen."
"Two glasses of red wine!" Nick yelled to the bartender.
Neither were sure how much the other was joking, but now in the back of their minds for the rest of the night would be the image of the two of them banging in the hotel room upstairs.
They mingled for a while before finding their table for dinner. They made small talk with the others sharing their table. Nick soon removed his jacket and bowtie, and hung them on the back of his chair. He relaxed back, again letting his arm wrap about Jess and rest on the back of her chair. He had also rolled up his sleeves, so his bare skin was now touching her arm, sending chills across her body. Next began the dancing, the bride and groom dance, father daughter dance, etc. Nick absent mindedly began rubbing his thumb in circles on Jess' arm, while watching the dancing and sipping his wine. After a few moments she looked over at him and he stopped, sitting up straighter and moving his arm back to himself. He felt so comfortable with Jess, forgot for a few minutes that they weren't actually dating. Once the Cha Cha Slide, Cupid Shuffle and Wobble began playing, Jess and Nick moved to the dance floor. Enough wine in them now to have to courage to get up and make a fool of themselves. Other than a few breaks between the songs to grab some gulps of wine and water, they found themselves out on the dance floor most the night. When a slow song came on, Jess would excuse herself to the bathroom or Nick would go get some more drinks. But as the night wound down, Nick found himself more and more drawn to Jess and wanted to feel her in his arms.
It was getting to that time of the night where the DJ was accepting song requests, so he was playing a lot of top 40 and old school pop songs. Umbrella by Rihanna thumped through the ballroom and since it was a song Nick recognized, he thought he'd take a chance. Jess turned to head back to their table and Nick reached out to grab her arm, "Dance with me."
"Um, no way, I'm hot and sweaty and-"
"Dance with me," Nick demanded a little firmer this time. When Jess looked up to meet his eyes, there was something different in them. She whispered out an "ok," before wrapping her arms around his neck, resting her chin on her arm, daring not to look him in the face. Nick tentatively placed his hands on her hips, but after a few seconds, he moved them around her body a little farther, moving her even closer against his body.
Jess' heart was pounding, Nick's hot scent enveloped her, they danced in silence. The song changed to Grenade by Bruno Mars.
Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all, but you never give
Should have known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open?
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever ask
'Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
Oh, oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby
But you won't do the same
Nick's thoughts wondered back to Ellie, the last woman he danced with, the last woman he let his walls down to, the last woman he loved. His breath quickened, he started to sweat, he couldn't do this again.
But you won't do the same
But you won't do the same
Nick suddenly pulled back from Jess, tears in his eyes, he just said, "I need some air," and rushed off the dance floor.
Jess found him outside, leaning on his elbows again a cement railing overlooking the garden outside.
"Wanna talk about it?" she asked as she walked up beside him, holding two glasses of water, offering one to him. She wasn't offended by his sudden disappearance. She had heard about what happened between him and Ellie, but he never talked about her, and she didn't dare bring it up. She never thought being at this wedding would trigger him and now she felt awful.
He took the glass of water and took a big swing, "Nope."
"I'm so sorry Nick, I didn't mean for this wedding to upset you, or bring up any unwanted-"
"Look, it's not your fault. I'm sorry. I really thought I was over her. I really thought I could come to this wedding, maybe hookup with a cute bridesmaid. I thought I was ready but…" Nick took a deep breath and turned to look at Jess, who truly looked concerned. "So ever since I was undercover, before coming to NCIS, I stopped dating, I swore I'd never let another woman break my heart. I slept around a lot, but nothing ever lasted. And then, I not only fell for a woman, but I fell for a woman I worked with. I opened my heart, my home, my soul to her… And she destroyed me, Jess. I'm sorry you don't wanna hear all this."
"Hey, my last serious relationship ended five years ago when I caught my boyfriend cheating on me the day before we were supposed to move in together. Since then, I have sworn off all men and relationships. All I need men for is orgasms." She raised her glass towards him as Nick laughed at her comment.
"To orgasms," Nick toasted, and they clinked glasses and downed the remainder of their water.
"Yeah, it gets lonely sometimes, but how many times can a human survive getting their heart crushed?"
Nick took Jess' empty glass and his own and set them both on the railing. He moved to hug Jess, "Thanks for listening Jess." He shifted back slightly but continued standing very close to her, "I actually had a lot of fun tonight."
"Wanna come upstairs with me, no strings attached, there are two beds, or we could share one?" she seductively suggested, shuffling a little closer towards him.
"Jessica Knight are you asking me to sleep with you tonight?" he said with the biggest grin on his face.
"I mean, we are both two very attractive consenting adults and I don't know about you, but I haven't been laid in a while."
He exaggeratedly rubbed his chin as if he was contemplating if this was a good idea.
"Hmm, what if you fall in love with me?" he joked, stepping into her space, causing her to back into the railing.
"Never gonna happen. But you're right, we need to think about this, what if the sex isn't good?" she counters back.
Jess' hands rested onto Nick's chest, while his landed on the railing behind Jess, effectively boxing her in, "I will definitely leave you satisfied," he leaned forward and whispered into her ear, "multiple times."
She gulped as a blush ran up her neck. He pulled back to meet her eyes and leaned in to just brush his lips against hers. It was over, the line was crossed and there was no going back now.
Jess pulled back and grabbed his wrist, pulling him back inside, "Let's go big boy before I sober up and change my mind." They jumped in the elevator with a few other people, Nick stood so close behind Jess, she could feel his breath on her neck. She stepped back slightly so her butt bumped against his groin.
"Oh, so we're playing dirty," he leaned forward and whispered into her ear, then let his lips kiss down her neck, then slowly running his tongue back up the same trail his lips left, and he sucked on her earlobe. "Jesus, this is not a good idea," Jess softly moaned.
The elevator dinged when they arrived on their floor. Jess grabbed Nick by his jacket lapels and pulled him down the hallway towards her room. She pushed his back against the door of her room, kissing him while digging the room key out of her purse. Once he heard the door unlock, he flipped them around, pushing her back against the door and opening it behind her. She pushed back, removing his jacket, and letting it hit the floor.
The battle for dominance was even more of a turn on. Nick pushed Jess against the closest wall and reached for the hem of her dress, bunching it up and pulling it up over her head. Shifting his hips to push against hers to hold her in place against the wall. Jess could feel the hardness under Nick's pants and moaned out loud before kissing him again while unbuttoning his shirt. While she worked on the buttons, he took that moment to let his hands explore the newly exposed skin he had been dying to touch. Jess pushed his shirt off his shoulders then reached down to help him remove his under shirt. Nick's fingers dug into Jess' hips, guiding her back over to the bed and playfully pushing her down onto it. She leaned up on her elbows to admire his body. He unbuckled his belt and pushed his pants and underwear down, freeing his painful erection. Every time I see him at work, I'm going to see this vision of his sweaty naked body and hard cock pointing right at me, Jess thought to herself as she bit down on her bottom lip. He stood before her for a moment to just stroke himself. He was being cocky in more ways than one, so she sat up, reached behind her to unclasp her bra, and threw it on the floor. She took both her hands and ran them across her perfect tits, massaging them while looking up at him.
How am I ever going to look at her the same again after seeing that this perfect body exists under her clothes every day? Nick thought.
"Jesus, this is not a good idea," Nick groaned, crawling onto the bed, up to her tits and taking them into his mouth. Jess leaned back onto the bed, running her fingers through his hair, bucking up towards his body. She needed him to touch her between her legs as soon as possible.
As if reading her mind, Nick's hands traveled down Jess' body and between her legs. Two fingers brushed against her clit before exploring her center, she was so wet, he slid his fingers easily into her. Jess' head fell back into the mattress as her eyes closed. A man hasn't touched her like this in too long. "Oh god Nick," she moaned. His thumb found her clit and began rubbing circles around it, teasing her a little while pumping his fingers inside her. When she started begging him for more, he applied more pressure to her clit and urgency to his movements. She glanced up at him to meet his eyes, mouth open, she grasped tightly onto his arms when he pushed her over the edge. Her entire body trembling, and her legs went numb. No man had ever made her come so quickly.
Nick leaned down to softly kiss Jess again, her chest still heaving while she was trying to catch her breath. But he couldn't wait any longer. He braced himself above her, hiking her right leg up to wrap around his waist and he plunged into her, both their mouths opening wide in ecstasy.
"Fuck Jess, you feel so good." When Nick stilled for a moment to calm himself down, Jess took that opportunity to flipped them over. Nick didn't fight it, this position allowed him to relax a little, but watching her above him, flush from her orgasm and her swollen tits bouncing in his face, was not going to help him last much longer.
His hand reached for her tits, gently massaging them, then leaning up to take her nipple into his mouth, one and then the other. His right hand on her lower back, encouraging her movements as she began riding his cock, up and down, back and forth. She leaned back slightly, letting her head fall back as well. The sight was beginning to be too much for him. He moved his hand to her center, letting his thumb rub her swollen clit. He didn't do much work, just allowed it to be there for her to rub against, building herself closer to the edge again.
She came this time, clenching around his dick, then stilling her movements. He moved to place his feet flat down onto the bed to thrust up into her two more times, deep into her orgasm, and spilled into her. She collapsed onto his chest where she stayed until they could both get their breathing under control. She rolled off him, "Damnit."
"I know," he said, "we are going to have to do that again."
