Jess picked her phone up off the desk when it rang, glancing at the ID she saw Elena's name, sighing she flipped it open.

"Hi, Elena,"

"Hey…" she said hesitantly, "Stefan told me he showed up at that place you work at, and I just wanted you to know the rest of us had no clue he and Damon were planning that."

Jess sighed, "It's fine, just do me a favor, please try to keep them from coming back, I don't want to explain why they aren't phased when Becker gets annoyed enough to shoot them," she said with a small laugh.

Elena laughed too, "I was thinking of doing some shopping, want to meet up?"

"Sure sounds good, see you in an hour at the hotel?"

"Sounds good, see you then!"

"Bye," Jess said, hanging up.

Her shift was over, and she had half an hour before she needed to leave to be at the hotel. She stood and headed down the corridor, Becker's door was ajar and he was sitting with his back to her on the couch. Shutting the door as she entered, she walked as silently as possible up behind him and began trailing light kisses down the back of his neck.

Becker grabbed her arm and went to pull her around in front of him, but she simply wrapped her arms around him, and continued letting her lips kiss along his neck. Before she'd registered what had happened, Becker was on his feet and had her against the wall, kissing her roughly.

He pressed himself against her, and a deep moan escaped her lips. She tangled her hand in his hair, pulling him even closer to her. From there it was a battle to see who could remove the other's clothes faster.

She didn't know if it was hours or minutes later that she lay against Becker's side, tracing her fingers over his chest.

"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"

Jess blushed, "I think you just did," she murmured.

He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers gently. When they broke apart, Jess caught sight of the clock and sighed.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I should be pulling into Elena's hotel right now," she giggled.

Becker reached down to where she'd dropped her purse by the couch and fished her phone out, keeping the other arm securely around her waist. He handed her the phone and she quickly sent a text message.

Hey! Sorry, got tied up at work, leaving now. See you in twenty! -Jess

It's fine, take your time, I'll be here (:

Jess shut her phone and reluctantly got up and pulled her clothes on. She then turned and kissed Becker deeply.

"I'll see you… tomorrow I guess?"

"Or you could come to mine when you're done," he offered, resting his hands on her hips.

Jess smiled, "Sounds great, see you later then," she said kissing him again.

Three hours later, Jess and Elena walked out of the mall, their arms loaded down with bags, talking animatedly.

Jess had looked down at her phone briefly, texting Abby to let her know she wouldn't be back at the flat that night, when Elena stopped dead, causing her to run into her.

"Elena, what's wrong?" Jess asked.

"Jess, do me a favor, just go. Call Becker to come get you or something."

"What?" that's when Jess saw the guy standing by Elena's car.

"Aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?" the man asked, walking towards them.

Jess was already dialing Becker to send help.

"Why don't you do us both a favor and hang that up?" the man said, staring at Jess.

"Leave her out of this, Klaus."
