Pulling out of the kiss, Jess looks into the eyes of Nick. Gently biting her lips a smile passes by as blush rushes up to her cheeks with a heat she has never felt before. Giggling slightly she hides her flared cheeks and sultry eyes under her bangs. "Great performance Miller" she lets out in a breathless sigh. Though it was definitely more than a show. Her whole body felt weak under the pressure of his lips. Yes, her whole body felt weak all except for her heart which felt stronger than ever. It was as though her heart was slowly piecing together. Jess never realized she was broken but Nick was on the verge of fixing her. At least for tonight.

"Yeah Jess. Mmm you did pretty well yourself." He says not even capable of pulling his eyes off of her. The world comes back to the pair as they finally notice the applause of Cece and Schmidt from their seats in the booth. Winston is walking towards the two.

"Well guys, that was lovely but I'm afraid I've had enough romance for one night. Behind you two and Schmidt's hands under the table back there...I'm out." He says with a laugh before turning on his heels and walking towards the door exiting the bar. Nick notices that he pulls his phone out to make a call and a happy and eager smile tugs at Winston's mouth. I'll have to ask him about that later

Jess draws her attention to the pair in the booth. Schmidt's hand does seem to be buried underneath the table as Cece hides her face in the nook of his shoulder. Both of their frames slightly shaking, hopefully, from laughter of an enjoyable night. And Jess decides she wants some fun as well. Cece and Schmidt aren't together. Yet But yet they still live based in the moment and the connection they share. Why not live in the moment? Downing the rest of the wine in front of her and then taking a shot of something stronger, Jess lets her mind go and let the desires of her body talk for her.

"Hey Nick. Since we had some fun, why not make it last a little longer" She suggest her voice wavering under what was once strong composure. "Just for the rest of the night" She pleads in an innocent squeaky voice.

Shocked, Nick places two hands on the bar to gain a sense of self. Is this really happening? Not sure what to say, not sure what a night of pretending could lead to Nick's eyes go wide but the man is still speechless. It is at this point that he comes to the conclusion that it wouldn't be a night of pretending. In actuality, he would be able to act on the impulses he has felt since the moment he met this beautiful delight sitting before him. A test trial of sorts. But what if, when the nights over, I want to keep playing?

Careful not to let what ifs run his life, Nick takes her by the hand and leads her to an empty booth in the bar. He smiles at her, sitting down first before sliding her petite body over his lap. His lips grazing her neck his reply is whispered into her ear. "You're right. Why not make it last a little longer. " A chill runs down her body while heat seems to rush to some places.

The two spend the night in the bar laughing, kissing and drinking perhaps a little too much. Once at the loft, the stumble through the door. Nick swats a playful hand at Jess' backside causing a giggle to slip past her tongue with a hiccup. Grabbing her waist, he pulls Jess closer to him. He places a hot kiss on her lips, leaving a trail goosebumps as his lips travel down from her lips to her cheek. From her cheek to her chest as he pulls the fabric of her blouse away from soft skin.

In an attempt to be sexy Jess lowers her voice a decibel. "You're place or mine" But the deepness of her voice surprises her and makes her laugh. A happy smile brushes across Nick's scruffy face.

"You're corny Jess." He dips low and picks her up. Carrying Jess towards her room he lays her down on her own fluffy bed. But she hurriedly sits up.

"We're breaking the rules Nick." She whispers quavering under his gaze. Her eyes lock with his and she can't even bare to turn away. She doesn't want to turn away from him tonight, or any other night. But they both agreed upon letting this last one night. Was that a mistake? Not wanting to let the chance go, she sits closer to him. Placing one hand on his thigh she asks "Are you ok with breaking the rules?"

"When I'm with you Jess, everything is ok." And he means that with every inch of his being. No longer is his heart broken, no longer does he want to settle for someone lesser like Caroline. Now, what he wants is right in front of him. His movements coming in careful slow paces he places a hand on the back of Jess' neck. Nick kisses her with all of the emotion inside him hoping to convey that this is what he wanted and what he intends to keep for much longer than tonight.

The kiss contains enough force to knock the two backwards on the bed so that Jess is under the weight of Nick's body. Like this their bodies mold to each other and Jess can feel Nick's body against hers including the pleasurable realization of him hard against her thigh. Real song from the kiss, Nick eyes Jess and through the connection his eyes plead for her permission. She smiles, it being the only reaction she can create. Afraid that if she speaks she'll wake up from the dream.

With no words spoken but heat leading the pair, clothes are whisked away in the mist of their passion filled night. As Nick leans into Jess who is lying back on the bed his hands lightly grab at her waist. He groans with the pleasing feel of damp skin touching at the most intimate places. Jess wraps long smooth legs around his back needing for her body to combine with his.

Not being able to bear the wait, Nick pushes himself into the beautiful paradise that awaits him. With the moan that escapes her lips at the sensation she's dreamed about, it seems to be all of the inspiration needed to make Nick proceed. The ecstasy builds on new levels resulting in bursts of bliss neither has experienced before. With a gasp, before catching her breath, Jess floats on cloud nine in the heaven they have created in her bedroom. Please let this be more than one night. Let every night be like this.

The peaceful morning is interrupted by the chirping on Nick's phone somewhere lain in the pile of clothes. Wanting the euphoria to continue as long as possible, Nick rushes to the floor shuffling through piles of clothes until he finds his pants. The chirping continues revealing four texts all from the same person. He freezes as the name appears again, this time calling him. A loud ring erupts from his phone startling Jess.

"Answer your phone Miller" she says grumpily sitting up and throwing an arm over his shoulder. But the groggy tone in her voice fades out as a pained expression crosses her face.

The phone reads "incoming call: Caroline"

Quickly Jess tries to hide her affliction under a mask of indifference. She lays back on the bed, her face half hidden in her sunken pillow. "She's jealous, I guess we put on the show you were hoping for right? So go ahead take the call-but not in here." She finishes.

"But...are you sure Jess? I could call her back later."

"Hey, it was just one night right?" She says still refusing to face the stranger occupying her bed. Jess stands and walks to her door. Without even looking back at him or asking him to leave she heads to the bathroom leaving Nick thrown off balance with no choice other than to leave her room. What the hell?

Inside the bathroom Jess sinks down to the floor exhausted. One night only. But he was never mine.
