Chapter Nineteen

Dan had loaded the CD player and his music blared out over the Soho Hotel suite.

‘How’s it going, Mrs Robinson?’ He knelt down in front of her, stroked her face gently and held her hands as she sat on the sofa.

Feel a bit wonky actually, Mr Harris, bit hot.’ She could hear her voice, but thought it didn’t sound like her. Dan proceeded to fan her with the breakfast menu.

‘It’s all good, Jess, I promise you, it’s all good. Here, have some water.’

‘Whoa.’ Jess felt really strange. ‘I need to take some clothes off.’

‘That’s cool, Jess, no worries.’

She stripped off her jumper to reveal a lacy black bra which showed just the right amount of cleavage. ‘Dan, am I OK?’ she questioned.

‘You’re more than OK, honey; in a minute you are going to feel amazing.’ Dan was completely attentive: he fanned Jess, stroked her face, and touched her lips with his just so she knew he was right there.

‘Need to lie down,’ Jess said.

Dan helped her up. She lay down back to front on the huge bed and put her legs high up on the 6ft satin headboard, stretching out her arms wide.

‘Here, have some more water.’ He lay down next to her and put his legs up too.

Jess’s face had completely relaxed; she had a wry smile on her face as the Gorrillaz blared out ‘Dare’. Dan stroked her face. ‘Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?’ he said tenderly.

‘I’ve lost count.’ Jess laughed. ‘God, I feel amazing,’ she murmured.

She reached over to stroke Dan’s face, turned to her side and kissed him. It was the most sensual, tender kiss she had ever experienced. She was lost in the moment. If she had died there and then she wouldn’t have cared.

Finally, she pulled away from him. ‘And now, Mr Harris, for your eyes only, I am going to do the world famous Jessica Morley Soho Hotel pillow dance.’ She grabbed a pillow with both her feet and began circling it above their heads.’

Dan leapt up, ripped his shirt off and proceeded to dance around the room. Jess dropped her pillow and stretched her body right out into a star shape.

‘You dancing with me, Jessy Morley?’

‘No, I’m stretching.’ She yawned. ‘But in a minute, I am going to be your private dancer,’ she said woozily.

Suddenly she felt a rush of energy go right through her, from her toes to the top of her head. She jumped off the bed, ripped off her jeans to reveal black, lacy, shorts and threw her head back in delight. ‘Baby boy, I’m a dancing.’

She lifted her arms in the air and began to dance and dance and dance.

‘I feel like a twenty-four-year-old.’ She shouted grabbing Dan’s erection through his boxer shorts.

‘You’re lucky it’s after midnight then, aren’t you?’ He smiled at her exuberance. She pulled away, grabbed a bottle of water from the mini bar and downed it in one. Dan laughed out loud at Jess who was now bouncing up and down on the sofa. She looked oh so sexy.

‘Get here, you,’ he said huskily.

Jess hopped down from the sofa and he grabbed her from behind. He could feel the curves of her body gyrating against him, droplets of sweat from her forehead fell on to his hands. Never before had he felt such a wanting for another human being. He walked her slowly towards the bed so that she gently fell forward, pushed her panties aside and slowly entered her, caressing her breasts as he did so. Jess squirmed with pleasure.

‘Whoa, I need a rest,’ Jess panted.

They fell on to the bed.

‘You like?’ Dan enquired

‘I fucking love it!’ she replied.

A chill-out track came on. Jess lay on the bed stroking Dan’s arms and planting butterfly kisses all over him.

‘Do you know what? The minute I saw you at the party I wanted you, Jessy Morley. In fact, the minute we shared a warm beer in the Holiday Inn in Wandsworth I thought you were pretty special.’

‘I feel exactly the same. I’ve never felt such a connection with anyone like this before. Just mates though, eh, like you said?’ Jess smiled at him wryly.

‘Jess, I love hanging out with you, I think you’re really cool.’

‘We can be mates that stay overnight then, is that a deal?’

‘Deal.’

Jess shut her eyes momentarily and clenched her knees into her chest.

‘Jess?’

‘Hmm?’ she responded dreamily.

‘I always want to be honest with you.’

‘That’s good.’

‘And, well.’ He hesitated for a second. ‘Just so you know, I did see if Alex would get back with me again. The thought of Evie coming from a broken home just hurts so me so much, especially as it would be my doing.’

‘And?’ Jess enquired, not allowing herself to get upset.

‘She told me to fuck off actually. Can’t say I blame her really. I thought long and hard afterwards and realised that it would have been foolish to even try. Alex and I would never have worked out. I was just twenty when I met her and I’ve already grown into a different person.’

Jess leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. ‘Thanks for telling me,’ she said sincerely.

‘I love Evie so much,’ Dan sighed.

‘I know you do, darling. Everything will be fine, don’t worry.’

‘You’ll never guess what else?’ Dan carried on. ‘She only had a lesbian fling with her best mate.’

‘No way!’ Jess laughed out loud.

‘It’s not funny,’ Dan said indignantly. ‘She was bloody unfaithful with another woman. It’s still a betrayal.’ Jess said nothing more and snuggled into him.

‘Jess?’

‘Yeah?’

‘Great tits too, by the way,’ Dan smirked.

‘Well, thank you,’ she laughed

‘Pussy’s pretty delicious too.’

‘Daniel Harris!’

‘I mean it, Jess. I think you are gorgeous with a capital G and thanks so much for arranging this for me. I really do appreciate it.’

And then the love making commenced: in the Jacuzzi, in the shower, on the sofa, against the desk. They eventually fell asleep on top of the bed, in each other’s arms.

Jess awoke with a jump as the maid knocked on the door. ‘Dan, wake up. It’s eleven-thirty and we’ve got to be out of the room in thirty.’ She groaned. ‘Give us an hour please,’ she called out.

She snuggled into Dan. ‘Happy Birthday, baby boy! That was the most amazing night I’ve ever had in my life. I’m glad I shared it with you.’

‘It was pretty special, wasn’t it?’

Dan turned over to kiss her sensually. As he did so, Jess became aware of wetness between her legs. She knew it wasn’t just from her.

‘Shit, shit!’

‘Jess, chill out, baby. What on earth’s the matter?’

.‘Dan, for one, I can’t remember if we used condoms every time last night and if we did, which I doubt, one of them has most definitely burst.’

‘Don’t panic its fine, we’re in central London. I’m sure a Boots will be open, you can take a morning after pill.’

‘OK, OK. I won’t panic. Damn, I was waiting for the first day of my period to go back on the pill. But you’re right:, the morning after pill must be foolproof. Let’s get up now so we can zap those sperms of yours.’
