Chapter 6

Here's another update, there'll be another one tonight :)

As the warm winter sun streamed through the window Connie stood in front of the bathroom mirror splashing water across her face. Raising her head again she looked at her reflection before running a finger across her bottom lip.

She noticed someone moving behind her in the reflection of the mirror. Walking back through the bedroom she glanced to the body lying asleep in the bed still before exiting the room and heading downstairs.

Connie flicked the kettle on as she stood in the kitchen with the light cream dressing gown draped across her shoulders. It fell apart to show her pale skin and the matching cream underwear she had on. Resting her hands against the side she rolled her head backwards thinking about how many mistakes she had just made in the past 24 hours.

The boiling kettle gained her attention but instead of pouring herself a drink she turned away and headed back upstairs. In the room she went into the wardrobe finding herself some clothes as she heard someone moving about in the bed behind her.

Connie began changing and was about to take the dress from the wardrobe when he spoke up. "Now that's a site to wake up to in the morning sweet cheeks…" She bit her lip in order to refrain from saying anything as she turned her head to look at him propped up in the bed. "Believe me it's not for your benefit-" "Doesn't have to be." It was quiet again for a moment before she stood up straight and realised Jacob had moved to the end of the bed and was inches away from her.

She felt his hands move to hold onto her hips and could feel herself being pulled backwards into his chest. Jacob rested his chin on her shoulder, his warm breath causing Connie to close her eyes to try and stay focused. "You can't say last night wasn't for my benefit though-" She spun around in his arms and was about to argue with him when she felt the warmth of his lips press against hers again.

When she had the opportunity to talk she took it. "Don't think that because you slept with me all of a sudden you have some kind of control or authority on things." Jacob nodded as he moved his hands to hold onto her just above her hips either side. "Course not boss-" "Because this doesn't change anything-" Jacob pushed forwards once again causing Connie to become breathless.

Jacob's lips parted from hers so she spoke out again. "It doesn't mean that you can just do what you like-" "Would I ever dream of it?" Connie raised a perfectly arched eyebrow at him before she felt his grip tighten on her waist.

Their lips met again as he lifted her off her feet until she was kneeling up on the bed. She'd been trying to refuse this but her hands found themselves snaking around his neck as she knelt up looking down on him. Jacob deepened the kiss, his hands still on her hips. The argument she had laid out in her head disappeared with all common sense as she moved herself so she was pressed against his chest.

Jacob ran his hand up the side of her body and pulled her back as he lay down. He rolled to the side pushing her back against the bed and leant above her. "So, you really think last night… this, changes nothing between us?" Connie's cheeks were flushed and her breathing was erratic as she looked up at him. Jacob knelt either side of her body holding her arms above her head as he spoke down to her. "It doesn't change things-" "So you do this with all your nurses?"

Connie rolled her eyes as she lay there before he shook his head laughing and moved closer to her. He moved a hand to rest beside her head, pushing himself up on the bed and she moved her hand to the back of his head. He deepened the kiss as he lay above her before moving above her and placing kisses along her neck and shoulder before trailing his lips further down her body.

She lay back before lifting her head slightly to look down at him as he rest his lips just above the hem of her underwear. "I do have to get ready for work you know, as do you seeing as your shift starts in less than half an hour-" he broke her off as he moved closer to her again kissing her. Connie wrapped her arms around his neck holding herself up as he hugged her into his chest kissing her.

It was almost lunchtime for Connie and she had barely stopped all morning since arriving. As she went into the office the warmth hit her along with a strong sweet smell. Turning to her desk she noticed a cup of coffee in the middle next to the keyboard of her computer. All the paperwork had been pushed to one side and as she sat down she picked her phone up to see an unopened message.

Unlocking her phone she read through it before pushing her tongue into her cheek. She kept her phone in one hand and grabbed the coffee before standing up and leaving her office. "Mrs Beauch-" "I'm on a break, find Dr Hanna." With that Connie walked away from a shocked Rita and out the front of the hospital.

Connie stepped outside and walked along the wall until she reached a smirking Jacob. "One how did you get my number and two what do you think this is?" She turned her phone to him as he smiled at the picture she showed him. "That is yo-" "I know that! I mean what the hell do you think you're doing?"

The smile soon dropped from his face. "Come on Connie-" "No Jacob. This is exactly why last night should never have happened." He stepped closer to her taking her hand once again. She tried pulling away but he just held onto her even more. "Connie, you know you enjoyed last night just as much as I did…" She dropped her eyes and the stern look faded as she tried suppressing the smile that was threatening to grace her features.

"Exactly, so what were you saying?" Jacob stepped closer to her as she raised her eyes to frown at him. "Just don't put me in this position here, please?" He nodded moving back from her and dropped his hands. "Whatever you want sweet cheeks-" "Don't call me that." "You're the boss." She rolled her eyes and tried walking away only to hear him still speaking. "You're welcome!" Instead of turning around to respond she held a hand up in the air and waved before disappearing inside.
