Chapter 6
I don't own any part of STFBE, only this story. This was a difficult chapter to write. I'm still not sure I got it right. To everyone who took the time to read and review, thank you! Please keep reading and telling me what you think.
***WARNING! THIS CHAPTER IS NOT MEANT FOR IMMATURE READERS***
Sue woke to sun streaking in through the open blinds. She blinked her eyes, looking around. She didn't recognize where she was. She turned to see the clock read 5:15. Sue forced herself up, still trying to focus on her surroundings. She pulled the blanket over her trying to chase the chill on her arms away. It was then, she smelled him. Jack. It all came rushing back to her. She was with Jack. In his bed? But, where was he? Her head still foggy, she didn't remember them coming into the bedroom together. Had they? She thought hard, and remembered leaning against him while sitting on the couch.
Carefully, quietly, she walked into the living room to find Jack sprawled out on the couch. He was resting peacefully. She stood and watched him as his chest went up and down in perfect time. She longed to be able to touch him, hold him… kiss him. Sue shook her head, shaking herself away from that line of thought.
Jack began to move restlessly in his sleep, tossing, rolling onto his side. As his brain began to become conscious, his nose scrunched, sniffing the air. The deeper he sniffed, the more awake he became. His eyes fluttered open. He opened his eyes and sat up. His stomach growled.
"Morning." He said in the general direction of the kitchen, rubbing his face.
"Good morning. It's about time you woke up." Sue teased.
"What time is it?" He asked.
"Hmm, let's just say it's not quite seven yet." She laughed. "I'm sorry if I woke you. I was hungry." She said.
"I see. What are we having?" He asked, hopefully.
"Pancakes and coffee." She said handing him a dish and a mug. He gratefully accepted both, taking a sip of the coffee. "You don't have much in the way of food."
"Bachelorhood. A box of cereal, some microwave pizza, and some package soup and I can eat for a week!" He laughed. "Did you sleep OK?" He asked.
"Yeah, thanks. I don't remember going in there…" She said, fishing for more information.
"You fell asleep on the couch. I carried you." He explained.
"Sorry. Thank you though." She said smiling. "You could have left me there." Sue offered
"Now, what kind of gentleman would I be if I did that- or friend for that matter?" Jack answered.
"What's on tap for today?" Jack asked.
"Do you have plans?" Sue asked hopefully. Jack shook his head.
"Nope. Spending time with you." He said. "Do you have to call the doctor or anything?"
"Not unless I need something. She's off, but said she'll call me back." Sue said.
"How about a picnic then?" He asked. "I can run to the store grab stuff for sandwiches, some fruit… what do you say?" He asked.
"A picnic?" She asked. "I don't know."
"Sure, why not?" He said smiling. "It'll take your mind off everything, at least for a little bit." He offered. It'll do you some good to get out and get some fresh air."
"Why not!" She said.

The morning flew by as they prepared for their afternoon together. Jack had picked up some deli sandwiches, some chips and dip, as well as some strawberries and apple slices with chocolate and caramel for dipping.
The pair headed out toward Sue's apartment to gather up Levi when she got a text from Lucy saying she had taken Levi with her to see her mom for the day. They would be home the next day. Sue texted her back thanking her, and telling her she was doing OK.
"Ask Jack." Was the last thing she wrote. Sue blushed at the thought Lucy had suggested.
Jack pulled into the parking area of the picnic grounds. He opened the door for Sue and gathered the items for the day. They found a spot under an oak tree near the frog pond. The peep toads were chirping and some ducks had found their way to the shore. Jack spread the blanket and the couple sat, talking, snacking and enjoying the day.
"This is nice. Thank you." Sue said smiling shyly at him.
"You're welcome." Jack said.
"You were right, this is exactly what I needed. A nice relaxing day." She said gratefully.
"I'm glad I could help." Jack said. He noticed off in the distance the clouds were becoming dark. "I think we should call it an afternoon though. Those clouds don't look too friendly." He said. The two packed up and walked toward the car. Just as they broke the edge of the woods, there was a crack of thunder. Jack grabbed Sue's hand and pulled her along to the far side of the parking lot, as fast as they could run. Jack couldn't get the doors open fast enough before it began to pour on top of them.
Jack got Sue tucked in and ran around to the driver's side of the car. In that short amount of time, he was soaked. Sue couldn't help but laugh. Water fell from his nose and even eye lashes. She grabbed a few napkins and tried to help by wiping his face, but it didn't really help. The two laughed. Jack's laughter subsided, but Jack being a shaggy wet dog had hit Sue's funny bone.
"Oh. What are you still laughing at?" Jack asked Sue. She tried to stifle the laughter but it just bellowed. "Think that's funny, do you?" He asked as he shook like a dog drying himself. He flooded the front of the car with water droplets. Sue squealed and looked at him shocked. Both laughed hard.
As the laughter subsided Jack was caught in Sue's stare. He reached toward her face, wiping some of the sprayed drops from his shaking, off her cheek. Jack was instantly drawn to her. Her hair was wet and flat, falling in her face. Her makeup streaking from all the rain. The urge to kiss her was nearly over powering. As he began to lean in, there was another crack and it was enough to snap him out of following through with his want to kiss her.
"That was a good one!" Jack said looking up at the sky.
"Maybe we should get out of here…" Sue suggested. Jack agreed.
By the time they arrived at his place, the rain was letting up some, but the sky was still black. They ran into the house and both changed into dry clothes.
Jack walked from the bathroom wearing only shorts, buffing his hair out with a towel. Sue couldn't take her eyes from his chiseled chest and abs.
"Good storm." Jack said. Sue agreed. Water droplets fell onto Sue's face, her hair still dripping wet.
"I think I'll do that too." She said as she jumped from the couch for the linen closet. Jack turned on the TV and got them both a bottle of water. He noticed Sue's phone vibrating on the coffee table. He turned it over to see if it was important.
Lucy. "Did you ask Jack yet?" it said. Jack looked at it curiously.
"Hey. Lucy just called." He said cautiously as Sue reentered the room.
"Thanks." Sue answered as she continued to dry her hair.
"So… I couldn't help but notice Lucy's message… What are you supposed to ask me?" He asked.
Sue looked up shocked by the question; she stopped fluffing her hair out. Her cheeks filled with a deep pink color.
"Uhh… it's nothing." She answered.
"But, what is it?" He asked.
"Don't worry about it." Sue insisted.
"Sue." Jack said, making his silent demand. Sue took a deep breath, letting it out in a huff. "Whatever you need…" He added.
"Can you just let it go please?" Sue begged. Jack smiled a bit and arched one eye brow.
"Come on, you've got my curiosity up." He said, turning on the charm.
"You know what curiosity did for the cat, right?" She teased.
"Lucky for me then I'm not a cat!" He teased back. She didn't budge. He waited for another minute, then asked again. "Sue, really, whatever you need, or want to ask, just ask." Jack said sincerely. Sue was quiet for a long moment. She put her head down, playing with her fingers. Jack stared at her intently. She could feel his eyes boring through her, but she held her lips together as tight as she could get them, determined not to tell him.
Jack finally let up on his gaze and began to watch the game on TV. He seemed to be getting into it.
"Isn't this the game you were supposed to be going to with Bobby?" She asked.
"Yeah. Well..." He began.
"I knew it!" Sue blurted out, interrupting him.
"I was going to go to the game with Bobby, but you're more important. I'm glad I'm here, with you." He paused. "Besides, you're prettier to look at than his mug." Jack flirted.
"How did he get the tickets?" Sue asked. "I didn't see him come over."
"He didn't. I dropped them when I went for the picnic stuff." Jack answered. "I didn't think you wanted company yet."
"You're right. What did you tell him?" Sue asked.
"The truth. I told him that I got a better offer, I was spending time with you." He said smiling.
"Oh." Sue blushed. "Thank you for not telling him. I'll talk to everyone, just not yet." She explained.
Jack watched her intently from the corner of his eye while she watched the game. Sue glanced in his direction and caught him. Again, Jack felt the want to kiss her. He moved a bit closer to her.
"So, are you going to tell me what Lucy meant? What do you need to ask me?" He asked.
"Uhhh… yesterday, before you came… I was really feeling sorry for myself." She said, hesitating. "I was telling Lucy that there are going to be things I will never experience." She explained. "That's all" She lied. Jack knew there was more to the story.
"OK…. But what were you going to ask me?" he asked. Sue didn't answer. "OK then… What sort of things do you think you're never going to experience? Jack asked.
"Jack…" Sue began, whispering softly in protest.
"Tell me." He said.
"Must you know everything?" She argued.
"Yes." He insisted. "Now, come on, what's going on?"
"You're going to think I'm being silly." She insisted.
"Why don't you let me be the judge of that." He said. "Sue.." She let out a sigh and bit her bottom lip.
"A long time ago, when I was a teenager, I made a promise…" She started. Her cheeks were hot with color.
"Yeah, I know about the promise." He said casually, trying to make her feel comfortable talking about it.
"I've always done things to, steer away from getting in a situation where I might be tempted to break the promise." Sue said, straining to get the words out.
"Yeah?" Jack said, not fully sure of what she was asking.
"I, uhh… well, I- I ummm, never…." She stumbled over the words. She took a deep breath and let it out in a harsh huff. "Ugh! If I lose my breast, it will go away never having known the…" She stopped. "What it feels like..." Her cheeks burned with embarrassment. Her heart raced, afraid to actually say the words aloud.
"Oh." Jack said as he suddenly putting two and two together.
"I- I was just feeling sorry for myself and the situation, that's all." Sue reassured him.
"What were you going to ask me?" Jack asked, nearly desperate for the words.
"Nothing, never mind." Sue insisted.
"No." He said, trying to convince her to continue.
"Jack" Sue nearly begged.
"Sue, come on, talk to me." Jack said.
"I told Lucy that if I was going to be without one, I would like to know what it's like…" Sue said, hesitating.
"What, what was like?" Jack pushed.
"Jack…please don't make me say it." Sue protested. She looked down and raced through the answer. "the touch of a man." She said barely audible.
"Uh-huh…" Jack led. Then the meaning hit him. "Oh!" Jack exclaimed. "And you want me…"
"Forget about it. Jack, just forget it." Sue insisted. There was silence between them.
"Don't worry about it, like I said…" She began but the tears interrupted her thought.
"Please don't cry." Jack said, taking her in his arms and holding her tightly.
"I'm sorry. This week has just been so emotional for me, I just think I'm overwhelmed and worn out." Sue said, taking a deep breath and letting out a ragged sigh.
"Don't you think it would complicate things?" Jack asked, trying to comprehend everything.
"Yeah, it would do that." Sue agreed softly, choking back tears. "I couldn't stand it if I lost you." She said. Her smile tender and genuine. "That's part of the reason I wasn't going to ask." She said softly.
"That would never happen." Jack reassured her. "You're too special to me." His eyes softened. He brushed her cheek softly, pushing a nonexistent hair from her face.
He was drawn to her, he fought the attraction, but his desire pressed him forward. By the time he realized he was about to cross the line with his best friend, it was too late to avoid it. His brain was franticly trying to find a solution. He moved just to his right and kissed her tenderly on the cheek. He let out a deep sigh as his lips caressed her. Sue felt the heat from his breath and backed away just enough to read him. His eyes full of desire, his chest rising and falling at a faster pace. His lips mere inches from hers. She wanted him. She wanted to feel his lips on hers once more. She wanted to feel him touch her, and hold her. The temptation was so great. She wanted to feel.
Jack stared down at Sue, his gaze frozen on hers. His desire to touch her was enormous. His lips to hers, would be a sweet connection. She was there; hesitation had sealed her in the moment as well. Sue was only inches from him, but he couldn't take advantage of her. He respected her too much, loved her too much. He pulled away enough to relieve the tension between them. He stared deep into her eyes.
"It would feel like I was taking advantage of the situation and our friendship." He said.
"It's OK Jack." Sue told him.
"It's OK that I would be taking advantage of our friendship or that you think I might say no?" Jack asked teasingly.
"Both I guess." Sue said laughing. "I am the one who's propositioning you." Sue said, blushing. "But, it's ok too if you don't want to do this. I understand." She said.
"I don't want to take the chance we're going to jeopardize something here. You're too important to me to lose." Jack admitted.
Sue looked down at her hands, then looked him in the eye. She took a deep breath.
Jack blew out a shaky breath, still unsure of his answer.
"Sue…" He paused, "How do we do this? How do I do this? I can't shall we say, touch and run." He explained. "Can you pretend this is the same as having coffee together?"
"I don't know. Can you?" She asked softly.
"Honestly, I don't know." He paused for a long moment. "And what about your promise?" Jack asked.
"I wouldn't actually be breaking the promise…" She whispered. She turned away from him, embarrassed. "I know it's splitting hairs, but technically..." She began.
"I can't pretend it wouldn't mean anything… I'm not that kind of guy." Jack explained. "I mean, it would mean something- at least to me."
"It would to me too. I can't say it won't be awkward between us, after... but I honestly don't think it will ruin our friendship. I think our bond's stronger than that." She paused. "But if you do... then forget about it, this isn't more important than our friendship." She said.
Sue looked at him, deep in the eyes. She could see a lot more than he'd intended. The passion she'd seen earlier was creeping back in.
"Ask me Sue." Jack said softly. He inched closer to her and lifted her chin. "Ya have to ask… I want to be sure of what you want." Jack said. He moved even closer to her, taking her hands in his, pulling them into his. "I need to be sure."
"I just want to know what it's like, what it feels like to be wanted… one time before..." Sue finally said softly. "If I don't make it…" Sue said.
"You're going to make it through the surgery. You're going to be fine." Jack said reassuring her.
"Maybe, but I'll still be missing my breast… or at the very least have this ugly floppy thing there." She said to him, softly, her voice cracking.
Jack blew out a breath, a nervous breath. He walked around the living room, wiping his hands on his shorts. His palms were sweaty.
"Sue, just because you're losing a breast doesn't make you any less a woman. You understand that, right? You know that don't you?" Jack asked. "Any man should be honored to have you as his girlfriend. This man would. Jack quickly realized what he'd admitted to, and looked up quickly at Sue. She was still staring at the floor and wasn't making eye contact with him anymore, but he wasn't sure what she's just read.
"Never mind Jack. It's ok." Sue said. The tears spilling onto her cheeks. Jack sat back next to her on the couch.
"You're a beautiful, desirable woman. You're smart, you're funny… You're the sweetest being I've ever met." Jack said softly. "You need to believe that. You need to understand that that is what makes you you." Sue blushed and smiled shyly at him.
"Sue, I want you to understand a couple things. I don't cross certain lines unless I'm serious about a woman. I don't sleep around. I know you don't believe that, but it's true." He took another breath. "That being said… I'll do this for you." He said softly. Sue's cheeks blushed darker, if that was possible. "But… I can't just reach out and touch… it doesn't feel right, I mean…" He stumbled over his choice of words. "Grr.. I mean…" He began. "You're not a one night stand, I care about you." He said. He paused, looking deep into her eyes. "You have to know how much you mean to me." He asked. "I don't want this to be something you regret…" Jack said, finally looking into her eyes.
"I do know how much you care about me. I feel the same way…" She said softly. The tension between them was thick.
"Sue, we can wait if you want to. You're going to make it through the surgery just fine, and be cancer free after that, with lots of time to experience these things. You will still have another breast…" He said.
"If you don't want…" Sue began.
"I'm not saying that. I want you to know there are other options. I don't want you to regret this, and end up resenting me for going through with it." He said honestly. "This isn't something you have to do today." He paused again. "A year from now, I don't want you wishing you hadn't gone through this with me, or thinking I used you." He said.
"Jack, this is my idea..." Sue began to protest. "You can't 'use me' if I'm suggesting it."
"Listen, men are a different creature." He began, shaking his head slightly and smiling slyly. "I know we're all dogs, but I don't want you thinking we're all dogs. Look, I'm a guy… you're asking me if I want to…. experience this with you… that's like asking a lawyer if he should go to court with you. We're all going to say yes." He said with a chuckle. We're not likely to pass up the opportunity. We're guys, we like breasts." He joked. Sue laughed too.
"So, you're a boob man?" She asked, turning a deeper shade of pink.
"Not exactly." He answered. She arched an eyebrow in his direction. "Don't get me wrong, I like them, but…" He continued.
"Really?" She teased.
"Legs..." He said honestly, his cheeks heating up from their conversation.
"I see." Sue answered, relaxing some with their playful banter. Sue laughed in spite of herself. "I won't resent you Jack." Sue said reassuring him.
"I'd do anything for you, but I would hate myself if I lost us by crossing this line." Jack said softly, avoiding eye contact.
"I see the way you look at me sometimes." Sue said shyly. "I'm not real experienced, but I see that look in your eyes." Sue said softly. Her glare drew Jacks eyes up to hers.
"What look?" He asked.
"That one." Sue replied. "The look that says if I was anyone else..." She answered. Jack looked down guilty and busted.
"There are lines you just don't cross with your best friend." Jack responded. "No matter how much you want to." Jack continued, looking as guilty as a man could.
"But you're willing to cross it now?" Sue asked.
"Uh huh." Jack began "Because you asked me to, you need me to." He answered.
"All that for me?" She asked a slight teasing in her voice.
"Yes." He answered.
"And, you're not going to take any pleasure in it at all?" Sue teased.
"I never said that." Jack teased back. The pair was quiet for a long minute. Finally Jack looked up at her and took her hands in his.
"OK then. If you're sure this is what you want…" He said. "Let's have a nice stay in dinner tonight." He suggested.
"What do you have good?" Sue asked.
"Nothing, remember? I'm going to call and have it delivered." Jack said laughing.
"Since the storm's passed I'm going to shower then." Sue said. Jack smiled. "Jack? Umm, I would like to keep that promise…" Sue said nervously.
"Of course." Jack said. Sue turned to head for the shower.
Jack called a restaurant up the street from his place that delivered and ordered their dinner. After Sue's shower Jack did the same. Sue walked out of the bedroom wearing shorts and a button down blouse that matched the shorts. Jack had jeans and a t-shirt pulled tight over his muscles. The two ate quietly, not really finding anything to talk about. This pair of friends was too nervous about the evening ahead of them.
Jack cleared away the dishes and put in a movie for them to watch. Jack suddenly found himself feeling like a teenage boy trying to get to first base with his steady girlfriend, wondering what she'd let him get away with. Jack's arm went around Sue's shoulder; his other hand took hers in his. Jack turned his body toward her. Sue looked at him nervously.
Jack smiled shyly, there was a sparkle in his eyes. His smile grew, his eyes closed and he shook his head softly. His thumb rubbed over her hand softly, lightly squeezing her hand as it did. With is other hand, he brushed a stray hair from her face, letting his fingertips trace her jaw then down to the edges of some stray locks that had fallen from her shoulder. His hand reached forward, toward her blouse touching the collar tentatively, but he stopped, pulling his hand back.
"If this can't happen, Jack, it's ok." Sue reassured him. Her smile was soft and honest; she realized how difficult this would be for him.
"It's not that. It feels a little bit like I'm groping at you." He said honestly. "I want this to be something you'll feel good about in a month." Jack chuckled "I am too old to be feeling like this teenage boy trying to get lucky." He smiled fondly at her. "Sue, it's important to me that this be special for you. I want it to be softer, sweeter, more romantic… more like I'm making love to you." He said, blushing deep shades of red. Sue felt the same shyness, causing her cheeks to burn red too.
"Well, that certainly sounds a lot better than the first option." She admitted.
Jack pushed himself off the couch and put out his hand for Sue to take. "Come on.' He said. "Trust me." He said softly.
He slowly led her to his bedroom. He turned the handle to the door and led her inside. Sue hesitated, nervous about crossing the threshold with him. "Trust me. You'll keep your promise, I assure you of that." Jack offered. Sue took his hand and followed him into his room. He lit some small candles around the room, and then shut the lights off. He leaned over to the small night light near his bed and flicked it on.
"So we can see each other's lips." Jack explained.
Sue stood at the foot of the bed, her heart beating wildly. He rejoined her, taking her hand in his leading her to the edge of the bed. They both sat as his hand caressed her cheek, trailing his index finger along her jaw line. Jack slowly leaned forward and kissed her gently. The move was unexpected, and Sue pulled back a bit. Jack slowed his progress and leaned to her lips again, their lips barely touching as he placed light caresses on her lips.
"I've been dying to do that all day." He admitted and leaned toward her once more. Sue smiled acknowledging that she'd picked up on that fact.
When their lips came together, it created a spark too big for either of them to ignore. Jack pressed forward, capturing her lips again and again. Sue's hands rested on his chest, and then slowly her hands found the nape of his neck. Her fingers ran through the hair that sat there just above his collar. Jack slowed their kiss, pulling back a little bit.
Jack sat first. Sue watched him intently. He offered her his hand. Slowly she reached for it, placing her hand in his, sitting next to him. Jack brushed the hair from her face, stroked her cheek with the back of his hand and smiled the sexiest smile she'd ever seen. Jack leaned forward enough for their lips to brush against one another's. His action, movements were slow and thoughtful. Jack gently pushed forward, effectively deepening the kiss. He slowly laid her down on the mattress, kissing her passionately. Their lust for one another was surfacing. Jack's need for air over ruled his want to stay on her lips. He trailed kisses along her jaw down to the top of her chest. His hand slid across her stomach, and pushed forward up toward her breast. She gasped at their first contact, but she didn't pull away. He rested his hand on her ribs then began to rub from one side to the other lightly, causing her to flinch as he tickled her. Both laughed. Jack's left hand brushed up her arm, taking her hand in his, entwining his fingers with hers. He relieved his assault on her lips long enough to bring her hand to his lips and caress them. It wasn't long before he released her hand and brought his hand back to her flat mid-section on the outside of her blouse. Jack flattened his palm, and pressed it against the base of her soft mound. He could feel Sue's heart racing wildly beneath his hand. He gently squeezed and moved his hand around over her. She sighed nervously. He slowly unbuttoned the blouse, trailing kisses where his fingers had just been, exposing porcelain skin. Jack's movements were slow and calculated.
Jack propped himself up on his elbow and traced her facial features. She smiled shyly. He smiled down on her, placing light caresses along her lips, cheek and ear and back to her lips. His hand slipped to where the material had been. He opened the palm of his hand and gently ran his rough hand across her stomach. His fingers crept up her arm to the strap of her bra, moving it to an inch or so toward her shoulder. His left hand brushed lightly against the silky material of her bra. He let his fingers roll across the top, just enough to catch her attention. Sue was staring deep into his eyes. Jack smiled and kissed her lightly. Through the silky material, he could feel her arousal. Sue sighed with delight in how he was making her feel. Jack massaged softly and buried his face between her breasts caressing her cleavage.
"Oh... J A C K" Sue said in a low voice, Jack made his way back to her mouth. He covered it with his and kissed her with every bit of passion he'd allowed to build within him for her. He slowly pushed the blouse from her shoulders, allowing Sue's arms to find their way out.
Jack wrapped his arm around Sue's back, and with one swift move, he was able to unhook the brazier. He slowly hooked his thumbs around the straps to her bra, and pulled it away. As the material came forward, he took it in his teeth and pulled it the rest of the way off, and tossed it on the floor.
Sue giggled in spite of herself. She was happy. For the first time in nearly a week, she wasn't thinking about the deadly disease that loomed so close.
Jack never took his eyes off hers. He smiled down on her, kissing her gently. The kiss turned more passionate, more desperate. Jack pressed forward, swiping his tongue along her lips. She was hesitant in responding. She opened her mouth slowly, a little at a time, allowing him in. Their tongues met and danced around one another getting acquainted. Their kissing was stirring long bottled up passion they held for each other. Sue's stomach felt like it was full of butterflies. Jack's excitement was becoming noticeable and he began to strain on the inside of his shorts.
Jack rolled more toward Sue, putting some of his weight on her. He placed his leg between hers, locking them together. His reaction to their play was becoming obvious to Sue.
Jack's hand traveled to the soft tissue, gripping it. He massaged slowly. His fingers grazed over the top making her gasp. His touch was light and teasing. He relieved his attack on her lips and propped himself up again and watched her reaction to his touch. He moved in near stealth mode. His palm barely grazing the tender skin. The heat from his hand made goose bumps appear on her body, making her shiver. Jack smiled down at Sue. He wished this was real, that they were really progressing their relationship.
Sue, as if knowing his thoughts, reached her hand to his face, and brought him back to hers. Their lips joined again, igniting their passion once more. Jack pressed his tongue into Sue's mouth, exploring her, their tongues dancing happily together. The hotter the kiss became, the deeper it became, and the more Jack reacted to it. His hand ventured the entire length of her torso, touching every inch. His hand found her mound complete with a hardened rosy top. He tried to corral his desire and pace himself. He wanted this experience to be special, to be something for her to remember forever.
Sue finally broke their kiss as Jack unleashed his burning passion. His head bent to lay a trail of lustful caresses along her skin. He started by placing a light kiss on her lips, then to her jaw, and down her neck. He stopped at the base of her neck, in that place where her shoulder meets the base of her neck. He flicked his tongue in the deep crevice and trailed a path along her collar bone. He placed light kisses on her shoulder and back across the top of her chest.
His hand slid along the length of her leg, brushing lightly against her backside, as he hovered over her, letting some of his weight settle on her body. Sue's hands rested on the sides of his head, down to his shoulders then to his upper arms. Jack traveled lower on her body, is lips seeking the tips of her full, perky mounds. Sue drew in a deep sharp breath from the sensation Jack was causing deep in her core from the attention he was lavishing on her. His caresses became kisses and drew her in, making her pull him tighter to her. Jack shared his attention to both side, but focused his efforts on the problem side. Jack went further down her stomach, caressing and kissing every square inch of her upper body. The closer he got to the waist band of her shorts, the more nervous she became.
Jack could sense the tension in her, and knew he was too close to crossing the line. He would never cross the line with her unless she was ready, Jack was pretty sure she knew that, but he wanted her mind on what he was doing, rather than thinking what he might do. He casually dragged himself back up her body. Sue gasped as his tongue teased her. She groaned desperately, trying to control the spinning in her head she felt. She could smell Jack, his cologne, his shampoo- him. He was hard to resist. She found herself rethinking her promise. She could feel her body reacting to Jack, to his kisses and his touching. She wanted him. She needed him. He had a way of making her feel that all at once.
Jack gathered her in his arms, and rolled them over so Sue was laying on top of him. His lips didn't leave hers, they pursued her mouth more, turning the heat up another notch. Jack's hands traveled to her buttocks and pressed over them until they reached her thighs. His hands wrapped around both of her thighs and pulled her legs forward, successfully forcing her to sit on him. Sue could feel his arousal, and it made her visibly nervous.
"Jack.." She began. Jack gently pressed his finger to her lips. He moved his hands to her breasts, torturing her to new heights of lust. He sat up and pulled her to him once more, caressing her chest, neck, jaw line and finally to her mouth. Jack swooped and rolled them back over so he was on top once more.
Jack lavished her torso with loving caresses, drawing her in and bringing her to her peak. She seemed nervous, afraid of the outcome of this new experience. She was too nervous to allow herself to enjoy it fully.
"You OK?" Jack asked, sensing the nervousness. She nodded. Her head barely stopped moving when he captured her lips once more heightening their lust and passion for one another. Their tongues danced in unison, successfully pushing them toward the abyss. Sue's hands traveled the length of Jack's chest. She began to play, when he took both of her arms and held them above her head. "No. This is about you." He said smiling and planting lustful kisses on her again.
"But... you're... reacting too..." She hesitated.
"I can't help how my body is reacting to our playing Sue." Jack admitted.
"I know..." She said softly.
"Tonight is about you." Jack said smiling a sexy smile at her.
His head dropped as he spotted the object of his next attack. His hand, fingers and tongue working in unison. They worked together like a well-coached team. Sue could feel her passion rise in the pit of her stomach once again. Her breathing became labored.
Jack smiled. "Enjoy it Sue… let it go." He whispered. His eyes never left hers as he began to caress her, kiss her in a way she never thought was possible.
Sue grabbed the sheets in her hands and twisted them in her fist. Her breathing was faster, choppy. Sue threw her head back and cried out in an animalistic primal moan. Jack didn't relent. He continued until she finally gave a long satisfying sigh. Jack smiled, he'd done as she asked, and she would remember their night together..."
He slowly caressed up her chest toward her neck, then her cheek and finally her lips. The kiss was soft, simple. Jack pressed her into the mattress kissing her passionately once more. Sue began to slow the kiss, and finally pulled away from him. Her hand trailed a path from his lips along his jaw and finally down his arm to his hand. She entwined her fingers with his. Their eyes never left each other's. Sue propped herself up on her elbow so she was facing Jack. She smiled softly at him, her gaze one of love.
"Thank you for tonight." She said quietly. "This was more than I ever could have hoped for." She said. He leaned forward and kissed her.
"Believe me, this was my pleasure." He said referring to his current situation. Her cheeks flushed with color and she giggled.
"I-I couldn't help but notice." She said. It was Jack's turn to blush. "I'm sorry."
"Nothing to be sorry for." He said smiling at her. "It'll- subside… in a week or two…" He said laughing.
The pair lay next to each other kissing here and there, and touching, enjoying the afterglow.
"Stay with me tonight?" He asked.
"Jack… I- I can't." Sue said hesitantly.
"I'll be a perfect gentleman." He said, trying to reassure her. He reluctantly pushed himself off the bed, and retrieved a t-shirt for her to sleep in. "You can were this with your shorts. I'll sleep in this." He said, trying to convince her. "Sue, I just want to hold you." He said.
She put the shirt on, and snuggled back into his arm. Jack rested his other arm around her, pulling her close. He placed a loving kiss on the top of her head. It wasn't long before sleep over took the both of them.
