Smiling, Reece told her that she didn’t deserve one tonight, but Jess didn’t mind. It felt so good to be cuddled in his arms. Their bodies, as usual, were a perfect fit, but what was really disconcerting, was that his nearness truly made all of her troubles –of which he was the main cause, fade away. He’d never been that considerate before. Their mutual lust had always gotten in the way, burning too deeply to leave space to feelings like affection and companionship.
Jess wondered what his true intentions were though, unable to reconcile the considerate man lying quietly beside her, with the proud, arrogant Reece she’d always known. With her next question, she tried to find out.
“What about Tracy? Won’t she be missing you?”
“No. Today I had my share of tears.” He paused. “From a bewildered ex-girlfriend.”
Reece felt her body tense. “I broke up with her,” he clarified.
Her body relaxed, but she didn’t pursue the argument, somehow afraid to know the reason why he and Tracy had split up.
“And what about your job? Don’t you have to escort someone tonight?” Her voice betrayed none of her conflicting inner emotions, but Reece knew she’d been positively affected by the news of his free status, because unknown to her, Jess had snuggled her bottom a fraction of an inch closer to his sex. He smiled at her instinctive reaction. It felt good to know she had been just as jealous of Tracy as he had been of Robert. It also felt good to be able to talk to each other lying close, without thinking about intercourse. Although her cute, firm rump against his groin and her breasts at arm reach were a considerable source of temptation.
“Reece, did you hear what I said?”
“Yes, you inquired about my job. Why are you so determined to get rid of me?”
“Reece Hilton, answer my question,” she chided mockingly.
“This weekend is Johnny’s turn to work. I’ll be busy next weekend. Is that okay with you?”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Now go to sleep, before I change my mind, and do some despicable things to little old you.” His menace was lighthearted, but both knew how serious they could get.
Jess didn’t reply with the tongue-in-cheek answer he deserved, but with a smile easing the delicate lines of her face, she allowed her body to relax.
“You know, this is another first,” she murmured drowsily after a while. “I love to be like this with you, talking to you, without sex getting in the way.” He didn’t speak, but Jess didn’t care. She’d needed to voice her thoughts before heavy slumber took over, and that’s precisely what she’d done.
Reece had heard her alright, but for some undisclosed reason, he preferred to remain silent, even though he’d just had the same thought.
Later, when he was sure Jess was fast asleep, he hugged her closer to his body, laying a light kiss on the crown of her head, inhaling her scent and allowing his other senses to enjoy this new level of intimacy.

When Reecenext opened his eyes, he still laid on his side, hugging Jess’s pliant form. Needing to restore circulation back to his arms, he moved each finger. Without realizing it, the hand pressed against her stomach in what had meant to be an affectionate, brotherly gesture, moved to cup the soft roundness of her breast. His touch was light, but left no doubt whatsoever about its possessiveness.
Becoming increasingly aware of where his hand was resting, Reece started to fan the dormant nipple with his thumb. A few strokes were all it took to turn the relaxed bud into a hard pebble. Jess’s instinctive response to his touch thrilled him. Her body recognized him even when asleep. Encouraged, Reece set about finding how much he could stimulate her without waking her up, and yet coax a reaction from her body.
Lazily, he dragged his free hand along the sinuous contours of her side. Reaching the hem of her sweater, Reece slipped his fingers under the garment, creeping upward, pleased to find her braless breasts. Reverently he teased and tormented her soft skin until Jess, with a low moan, turned onto her back, allowing him full access to her body. A satiated smile curved her lips.
Her wanton response snapped Reece’s control over the edge. Pools of thick blood raced from his head down to his groin, hardening his sex. Readjusting his weight, Reece guided his hand down, coasting along the rim of her ribcage, past her stomach and navel, letting it disappear below the waistband of her jeans. He could hardly suppress a yearning curse when he encountered her lace-covered feminine mound.
Briskly, uncaring if his impatience woke Jess up, Reece rid himself of his clothes, driven by the need to sink his throbbing sex into her heat, and loose himself in the primal pleasure she never failed to draw out in him.
Jess, aroused by the smoldering sensations her dream was eliciting, lifted her hips, helping Reece shove her jeans past her thighs, freeing her of her confining panties. Her hands were by then caressing the contours of his bare back. She hung on to him, loving to feel the supple play of his muscles under her fingers. Then Jess opened her thighs, raising her hips up to receive her man. Reece, slow inch by slow inch, eased his engorged penis inside her wet, welcoming sex.
“Ah, baby. You feel so good,” he rasped, savoring the snug heat of the hot, tight-fitting glove surrounding him.
Involuntarily, Jess contracted her internal muscles around him, glorifying in his total possession. Reece clenched his teeth against the sensations her movement shot through his body. Mindful of the hard, angry way he’d possessed her only yesterday, he lifted his hips up, then slowly plunged back inside Jess, each time delving deeper and deeper inside her.
Her gently parted lips invited his torrid kiss, then, without warning, the body under his gathered and experienced a long, gentle release that made Jess arch her neck, bury her head deeply in the pillow, and sink her nails in his back. It was enough to trigger Reece’s own release. Baring his teeth at the encompassing sensations, he cried out her name.
Spent, still recovering his breath, he left her only to rid Jess of her sweater. It was then that she lazily opened her eyes, and met Reece’s tender stare. With a quick gasp she held her breath, surprised.
“How do you feel?” he asked, concerned.
“Wonderful.” She smiled. It had not been a dream. Reece had actually made sweet, considerate love to her body with a glee that almost brought a fresh bout of tears to her eyes. This was precisely how she’d always wanted to be treated by him, with the consideration and respect due to any human being. Knowing Reece and his mood swings though, she tried not to let hope soar too high. It was probably only an isolated episode brought about by her obvious upset state, and tomorrow he’d go back being his callous self. But who cared? The here and now was a dream come true, and Jess was determined to cash in on his thoughtfulness while it lasted.
