The morning after Cece's wedding. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas please leave a review as I do not know where I plan to take this story yet.

Nick wakes up from the best sleep he has had in a long time. He looks over to the beautiful woman still fast asleep at his side, unable to stop the goofy smile forming on his face. He has never been in a relationship like this before where he is just content and doesn't have to think things through. The blanket is wrapped tightly around her, covering her. She moves slightly, exposing her back to Nick who cannot help but run his fingertips gently over her spine, moving upwards over her rib-cage. He wants to pull her close but doesn't have the heart to wake her up. He really should plan something special for her now things were calming down and Jess is off work for the summer. He looks at the alarm clock, 6:30 am. He can't have had much more than 4 hours sleep yet with Jess beside him and his mind at rest; his body also feels better rested and relaxed. The sun is now beginning to rise higher in the sky, an orange glow filling the room. The suns' rays dance across the room, making Jess stir. She closes her eyes tight, enjoying the feel of Nick's warm naked body beside her. She was awake but was enjoying his gaze upon her and his gentle touch and she didn't want to move. She liked this version of him, sweet and caring Nick. They may not be dating or whatever but Nick was most certainly in 'boyfriend' mode and though Jess knew he would never admit it, he is just as into cuddling as herself.

After roughly ten minutes of pretending to be asleep, Jess peeps her blue eyes open and looks over at Nick. He still has the goofy look on his face and she could not refrain from laughing. She rolls over so she is facing him, gazing into his eyes. She continues to clutch the duvet around her naked body, unsure why, he had already seen everything.

Nick speaks first, "Morning sunshine" wow, Nick is never usually this cheerful first thing in the morning, in fact he doesn't usually appear until lunch, Jess thought to herself.

"Morning" she replies in a husky voice. She's happy that there's no-one here to interrupt them this time.

"Come here" and with that Nick puts his hands on her bum and pulls her towards him, kissing her slowly and passionately, trying his hardest to pour all of his unspoken emotions into that one kiss. Jess begins to wrap her legs around him and pauses when she feels his hardness pressing prominently into her leg.

"Someone's in a good mood this morning!" she says mischievously with a glint in her eyes. At this comment Nick sucks in a breath, causing him pull away slightly. Jess doesn't break eye contact as she begins to lower herself under the covers. At this point Nick is flippin' the fuck out and thinks he is about to experience a heart attack. He feels her hand wrap around his now erect penis. He cannot believe this is the same girl who only a year ago could not even say the word penis. Nick freezes in his current position, afraid to move or even breath. Everything around him suddenly becomes a blur and he can now feel Jess' mouth around him, HIS DICK! He feels her begin to slowly move up and down and his eyes become heavy lidded and close over. He makes a mental note to return the favour of oral sex later.

It is a matter of minutes before he feels himself getting close to the edge; he knew he would struggle to last long, images of Jess' facial expressions from last night flashing through his mind. Then Jess, feeling brave, decides to graze her teeth over his length, too far, Nick thinks to himself. He was trying his best to make this last but when she goes and does THAT he has no chance. She begins to pick up the pace as she feels his body tremble beneath her and she knows he is close. Nick pulls back the covers and reaches down and places his hand over hers, which is currently wrapped around his length, causing her to pause and make eye contact. Unsure of what he was thinking she began to worry; did he want her to stop?

He pulls her back up the bed and begins to kiss her again. Jess kept her hand where it was and continued to finish the job she had started. It didn't take much longer before he had an orgasm rush through his entire body with her on top of him, causing the kiss became more heated. She hears him moaning out a string of "oh Gods' " and "Jess' ". Jess slows the pace as she waits for Nick's breathing to go back to normal.

She remains lying on top of him, her head resting against his chest listening to his heartbeat steady. His hand is placed on her lower back tracing small circles against her soft skin and his other hand holding hers. They remain in that position for a while; almost falling back to sleep when Jess hears her ringtone.

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it

I'm about to lose control and I think I like it

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it

And I know, I know, I know, I know

I know I want you, want you

Jess lets out a groan and shifts, beginning to get up whilst Nick however has other plans. He places his hand gently behind her head and sucks on the sensitive spot just below her ear. This causes her mind to go blank, both cursing and reveling in the fact that he has such power over her mind and body. For a moment Jess gives into his devious ministrations until she hears her ringtone for the third time.

"Niiiiick!" she lets out breathlessly, "I have to get that, it could be something important"

"Oh I don't think there is anything more important than this" he smiles and releases his grip on her.

Jess finds herself unable to argue with him as she completely agrees but she still reaches over to the bedside table on her side of the bed and looks at the caller id.

"Urrrggghhh, it's my dad. I better answer it"

"Hey dad, what's up?" she bites her lower lip waiting to be scolded by him once more.

"Oh nothing" she hears the clear sarcastic tone in his voice and rolls her eyes. "I'm just here at the loft and it appears no-one came home last night, yourself and Nick included."

"Dad it is seriously too early in the morning to revisit this discussion" Jess says not even trying to hide the irritation in her voice. "Did you want something?"

Surprisingly her dad doesn't want to have this argument right this moment either.

"Yeah, sorry, I was wondering if you would like to have breakfast with me before I get my flight home. We could go to that nice diner you mentioned?"

It wasn't as if she could say no, I mean one morning and then she practically had Nick to herself all summer. "That sounds great dad, I will pick you up in just over an hour, ok?"

"Sounds great kid, food is on me."

"Ok, I'll see you soon."

She rolls back over onto her side and props her head up with her hand. Nick does the same.

"Hey Nick, I'm sorry but my dad is leaving in a few hours so I couldn't say no. I'm going out with him for breakfast and then I promise we will pick up right where we left off" she looks into his poop brown eyes, an apologetic look on her face.

"That's ok" Nick tries his best to sound fine but there's a hint of disappointment evident in his voice.

Jess places her hand on his chest "I promise I'm all yours from tonight"

Jess gets up out of bed, placing a kiss on Nick's forehead. She searches the floor for the various parts of her sari and heads for the bathroom. Nick does the same and gets up and pulls on his now wrinkled shirt and suit trousers. Then Nick's phone begins to vibrate. He looks at the screen, "Winston".

"Oh SHIT!" he shouts in a whispered tone, hoping Jess doesn't hear him, but the bathroom has no door and she does.

"Nicholas?" she says suspiciously.

"It's nothing, Winston just sent me a text to say he needs pick up from the hospital" Nick says nonchalantly.

"WHAT?" Jess screams. She calms herself and lowers her voice to a normal level, "Is he ok? What happened?"

"Oh that badger bit him last night, but yeah he's fine" Nick said, remaining calm.

Jess began shouting against, "And you're just telling me this NOW? What if he was badly injured"

"Well" Nick shifted uncomfortably "I was kinda busy running after you" this caused her features to soften and she lost most of her anger.

"Anyway Jess, it was his own fault for releasing the damn thing in the first place. Maybe he will learn a lesson and stay clear of pranks in the future for the benefit of everyone."

"Well what are you waiting for, hurry up and go get him"

"It's hard to leave when you are standing in front of me in just a top and lace panties Jessica!"

His complement sent butterflies to her stomach once more. She liked the way he would complement her is such an offbeat manor. She walked back into the bathroom and had a quick shower. To save time she just swept her hair back into a messy bun, lose ringlets of hair falling down around her face. She went back toward the bedside table to lift her phone and purse and seen Nick was now also ready to leave. Oh boy he looked smoking hot, Jess thought. He had stubble across his face and his shirt was half unbuttoned. His tie was hanging out of his pocket. He picked up the key for the room and places his hand on the small of her back. He leaves the key at reception and pays the bill with his credit card. He takes Jess' hand and they head towards the car. He holds the passenger car door open as she struggles to get in wearing her long sari skirt. He starts the car and heads in the direction of the loft.

"Wait" Jess says, "would you mind taking a detour to Cece's place so I can change into something a bit more comfortable?"

"Sure, but why not just get changed back at the loft, it would be quicker"

"Em...well...look Nick don't take this the wrong way but I rather my dad didn't know about THIS" She move her finger between the two of them. Almost immediately a saddened look appears of his face.

She wants to keep this thing between them a secret; she must be ashamed. Nick nods his head slowly. Jess places her hand over his and squeezes tightly.

"Nicholas we've been over this already, don't let what my dad said get inside your head. I want this, I want YOU not some different changed version of you. I want you exactly as you are now, I live with you remember, I know you and I chose you as you are."

This heartfelt confession from Jess made his insides warm and his emotions bubble over.

"I know Jess, thanks for that" he cursed himself, just tell her man, but he couldn't, he was still unable to say his feelings and thoughts out loud. "Hey do you want to catch a movie or something later tonight? You know if you're not busy or whatever." Lame Nick, lame.

Jess smiled, she was honestly just happy to see him trying. "Sure that sounds nice."
