along his rough skin, feeling that she had at long last come home.
Jason brought her mouth back to his roughly in a series of hot fiery kisses, his hands assaulting her hips, her abdomen, her thighs in deliciously swirling motions. Cursing softly, he shrugged all the way out of his shirt, throwing it on the floor. He stood by the side of the bed to rid himself of his jeans and briefs, and Jessica watched with delight the lithe movements of his tall muscular form in the shadowy room, the faint rays of moonlight from the window touching his sun-bronzed body. He looks like a Greek god, she thought hazilymore desirable than she remembered. Her body ached, burned, for his return, her arms reaching out to touch his taut thighs with her fingertips, not wanting to lose a moment's contact with him.
As he crawled back into bed he impatiently jerked her

thin gown off and pulled her back into his arms, his mouth seeking and finding hers once again.
The night took on a magical glow as they lay in each other's arms in the small bed, their mouths hungrily devouring each other, their hands eagerly becoming reacquainted with the delightful secrets of each other's bodies. Jason, seeking the sweetness of her warmth, gradually created an overpowering tension within Jessica as she gently caressed his firm flesh with her fingertips. Jessica would not permit herself to think beyond this moment. She would face tomorrow when it came, but tonight was hers and Jason's and she would allow nothing to take that away from her.
Their bodies blended in perfect harmony as Jason moved to cover her slender body with his. He entered her swiftly, driving deeply as their desire for each other reached unbearable proportions. Soaring high on a swelling tide of rapture, Jessica dug her nails deeply into Jason's back, feeling his hard muscles as they tensed and flexed. Their bodies cried for release as they scaled the mountain of ecstasy together, their hot fires becoming consuming, searing, nearly intolerable, until they both found sweet ecstatic relief. Their quiet erotic moans of beautiful, torturous release blended together, and their mouths clung helplessly together. Jason held her securely and lovingly in his arms as they both tumbled gently back to earth.
The sounds of the summer night surrounded them from the open window as they lay locked in each other's arms, stunned by the intensity of what had just taken place.
Jessica sighed blissfully, snuggling in closer to his heavenly body, planting tiny kisses along his clean-shaven jaw.
''If you don't mind, this toad is going to sack out here for the rest of the night," Jason whispered tiredly.
"Not at all. My toad changed into Prince Charming, and who could refuse to sleep with Prince Charming?" Jessica teased lightly.

''Good night, Angel."
"Good night . . . toad."

Jessica was happily putting the biscuits in the oven when Jason came into the kitchen the next morning. Without saying a word he walked over to the coffeepot, pouring himself a large steaming cupful before returning to the table.
"Hi," Jessica said brightly.
"Hi," Jason grumbled.
"What's the matter? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Jessica's eyes sparkled mischievously. "Well, I did. The most relaxed sleep I've had in . . . a long time."
"No, I slept well . . . Damn it, Jessica! Last night should never have happened."
Jessica felt like he had thrown cold water in her face. "What . . ." she murmured, confusion racing through her mind.
Jason stood up straighter, slamming his coffeecup down. "I said, dammit, we shouldn't have slept together last night, Jessica!"
"But why? You asked me to sleep with you when I first moved in, Jason. What happened? Is it Monica?" She hesitated for a moment, searching his eyes for an answer. "It is, isn't it?" she persisted.
"Of course I'm concerned about Monica, but that isn't the main reason." Jason was visibly upset as he stalked across the room to stand in front of the patio door. He
