won’t take no for an answer,” he said firmly.
    “Wow! He’s arrogant,” she thought.
    Irrationally Tess bristled. She wanted the same thing but it was the way he said it as if she had no say in the matter. Well she did.
    “It’s far from a done deal. I’ve been fine without having you in my life, and will continue to be. You can go back to Aruba,” she snapped.
    “Not without you,” he vowed.
    His mouth swooped down upon hers. Tess was shocked, appalled and foolishly thrilled. It took all of two second for her to respond to his tongue pushing into her mouth. Her arms crept up and around his neck as she leaned into him. He tightened his embrace, molding her slender frame to him. Tess could feel his penis straining against the fabric of his pants. It wanted its freedom and God help her she to release it. Tess was sexually charged and she was having trouble holding back. Her criteria for needing to be emotionally connected with a man to sleep with him had flown out of the window. She wanted him regardless of lack of emotions. And he wanted her just as badly. He grinded against as he massaged her breasts. She wasn’t sure when he had unbuttoned her blouse but his hands on her black laced covered breast was sending tremors through her. His tongue began acting as his penis in her mouth and she could not stop her hand from sliding down his torso to cup his cock. He groaned in response.
    “Tess! Don’t stop. Take me out,” he urged.
    She unbuckled his belt and slid his zipper down. He pushed his pants over his hips and they dropped to the floor. She cupped his cock through his brief and slowly massaged him.
    “Tess!” he cried.
    Just as her fingers slid under the waistband of his briefs her phone rang. She stilled.
    “No Tess. Ignore it,” Matt pleaded as he suckled her neck.
    But the ringing didn’t stop and in all good conscious she couldn’t dismiss it. Phone calls usually meant jobs. She couldn’t afford to ignore it. She broke away from Matt and ran into the living room to answer her phone.
    “Hello,” she answered breathlessly.
    “Tess? What have you been doing? You sound out of breath,” Jaclyn asked.
    “Oh, it’s you,” Tess bemoaned.
    Jaclyn was her best friend and any other time she would have been glad to hear from her. But right now she was exhibiting the worst timing.
    “Gee, thanks,” Jaclyn said irritably.  
    Tess sighed and tried to massage Jaclyn’s bruised ego.
    “Of course I’m glad to hear from you. I was coming back from running and rushed into the house when I heard the phone ringing. I thought it might be a new assignment,” Tess lied. She asked God to forgive her white lie.
    “Oh, I’m sorry, Tess. I wish I had a lead for you,” Jaclyn said apologetically.
    “It’s alright. I’ll get a job soon. What’s up?” Tess asked.
    “I’m calling to invite you to dinner tonight. I thought you could use a night out,” Jaclyn said warmly.
    Leave it to Jaclyn to be looking out for her. She was so loving and caring. Actually, Jaclyn’s call came at the perfect time. Tess needed to put the brakes on her raging hormones. She couldn’t seem to think when she was near Matt. And thinking was precisely what she needed to do.
    “That sounds great. I need a night out,” Tess smiled.
    “Terrific. Meet me at Tall Boys at six-thirty,” Jaclyn instructed.
    “Cool. I’ll see you then,” Tess said.
    She placed the phone in its cradle and turned to see Matt leaning against the kitchen door jamb with his arms crossed.
    “Out running?” he queried with raised eyebrows.
    “Well, I wasn’t about to tell her what I was really doing,” Tess defended her lie.
    He shrugged and pushed away from the wall to move toward her.
    “Did I understand you to agree to go out tonight?” he asked softly.
    “Yes. I’m having dinner with my friend,” Tess replied.
    “A male friend?” he asked sharply.
    “What if it is?” she returned.
    Matt now stood directly in front of her. Tess looked at
