ALEX
I spent the whole night half awake, not wanting to fall asleep and thereby lose the ability to replay Jess's literal drive-by again and again. I spent the whole day at work in a daze. I watched time inch towards the weekend, and happily spent most of it daydreaming about what might have happened had Jess stayed.
I texted Clash and told her what happened. Annie screamed when I called to tell her the news. I was too shocked for any clarity of discourse about the turn of events, and my entire nervous system was on hyper-drive.
"Just make sure she knows what she's doing. She's still straight, Alex, it may end up totally freaking her out if she is doing this on a whim."
I appreciated Annie's concern, but I really couldn't care less whether Jess was straight or gay at that point. "Annie, if that client that you said you'd go home-wrecker for - came up and told you she wanted to kiss you a lot, you are not going to check to make sure she knows what she's doing."
"OK, true, but she's has her beautiful wife and beautiful kids and she would never leave them for me. Even though I know we can have wild and crazy sex all night long..." Annie sighed dramatically.
"Geez, I'm sorry I brought it up. Anyway - message received, but Annie, I have got to see where this goes."
As 5 o'clock neared, I realised that I was not going to get out of work anytime soon. The team was trying to get something done for the client before the weekend; with Jess's kiss forefront in my mind, I finally managed to achieve levels of productivity previously thought impossible.
By the time I sprinted back to the hotel to change, it was just after half six.
I called Jess.
"Hey - it's Alex. I'm jumping in a cab now."
"I'll be here," came her soft reply, "see you soon."
I didn't really know what to expect. Were we just going to pick up where we left off last night? Were we going to talk about it?
Jess opened the door as I walked up. I smiled awkwardly.
"Hi," I said, "sorry I'm late."
"I'm glad you came. Come on in," Jess reached for my hand.
"Coffee or tea?" She asked.
I shook my head 'no,' all the while staring into her beautiful eyes.
"Me?" She asked again, smiling.
I laughed and nodded.
"So you
were
flirting with me yesterday," I grinned, "I was so confused."
Jess wrapped her arms around me, "I must be getting rusty, I thought I was being obvious."
She pulled me closer and I eagerly met her for a kiss. Her lips were perfect. She tasted wonderful. I gently placed my hands on her hips, feeling her warm skin through her shirt.
"Well, that was worth waiting for," she sighed.
I could not believe Jess was holding me. "I can definitely get used to this. You like me back!"
"You are all I've been able to think about. I can't get enough of you."
"I feel like someone's going to wake me up any moment and I'm going to realise that this has all been a dream or something." I held her tighter.
"Well, I can tell you that it is definitely not a dream. You are here, with me, and I am kicking myself for not coming on to you sooner."
I laughed, "Honestly, I don't think I would have known how to respond - I am still a little in shock."
Jess touched her nose to mine, "Now, please make up for lost time and kiss me like you did last night."
I happily obliged.
"When did you become so sexy?" Jess asked when we broke apart.
My heart swelled at her words. I tilted my head back and looked at her, "Far from it. I'm just a big dork with a huge crush on you."
Jess shook her head, "I've never met a dork who kisses like you. I wonder what else you do really well..."
I held her tighter as I felt myself starting to throb with need. At that exact moment, Jess pressed her hips against mine. It was electric. We both felt it.
"Jess, I'm not protesting, but where are we going with this?" I nuzzled her neck, "I mean, is this... are you sure about this?"
JESS
I placed my hand on her chest, my other hand holding firmly to her belt, "More sure than of anything else in my life..."
Alex smiled.
"I want this," I heard myself saying, "I want you."
Alex stared at me. I surprised myself by how forward I was being. Alex leaned in closer and looked steadily into my eyes, "Are you sure? Because I'm jumping out of my skin I want you so much."
I nodded wordlessly and tried to grab every part of her at once as I kissed her, those broad shoulders, her hips, her back.
Alex's strong arms came around me, and I felt one hand on my back, and one on my hip. Before I knew it, she picked me up, turned us around, and pinned me to the wall, her thigh deftly inserted between my legs as she continued kissing me. Her hands found my stomach and slowly moved up over my shirt until they cupped my breasts and squeezed.
I moaned as her tongue caressed my lips, and her thigh made an obvious and welcomed assault against my crotch.
There was something new and beautiful and sensual about being in Alex's arms. I always liked tall, strong lovers, but this was so different from everything that came before. Alex's hands were confident explorers, knowing just where to go to root out hidden pleasure spots. Her thumbs grazed over my nipples, and then swept under my breasts, sending jolts of arousal through my shirt and bra, to my skin.
"Oh my god, Alex, is this how you bed all your lovers?"
Alex grinned, "I don't kiss and tell, Jess... So... here on the floor, or the bedroom?" Her eyes danced as she asked.
I pointed towards my bedroom, "first door to the right."
Alex continued kissing me as she carried me to the bedroom. She lowered us down onto the bed and knelt between my legs. She leaned down and kissed me again as her hands started to pull my shirt up over my arms. I sat up and threw the shirt off. Alex's lips and hand quickly found their way to my breasts, squeezing and teasing my nipples through my bra; her other hand reached behind me and in one movement, unclasped the bra. Her eyes never left my breasts as she removed it.
"That was a smooth move, Alex Mak," I gasped, looking up at her staring at me, which sent another shot of desire through my core.
"Wow. You are so beautiful," she said, her hands returning to my breasts, my nipples now fully erect and yearning for her touch.
I reached for her shirt, fumbling to untuck it in a hurry. Alex pulled off her shirt and sports bra, and lowered herself down until the full length of her body was on top of mine. Her small breasts on mine, she leaned in to kiss me again. I had never felt as well-embraced as I did at that moment. Alex rained kisses up and down my upper body as her hands worked to rid me of my trousers and underwear.
My breathing was ragged at this point, my skin felt like it was on fire, and Alex's fingers and hands left a trail of scorched nerve endings in their wake. The cool air of the room hit me as I lifted my hips and Alex removed the rest of my clothing. Her kisses continued to blaze a path down my legs, to my inner thighs, where I felt the first gentle nip of her teeth.
My breathing was shallow as I writhed beneath her, yearning for her mouth to be everywhere, all at once. I shouted when I first felt her tongue on me, licking upwards. I opened my legs more, eager to give her access. When her tongue assertively circled my most sensitive spot, I dug my fingers into her hair, bucking against her face.
