Nico tries one more time to get out before he does something that could destroy the family he's trying to make with Jackie. "I'm a bit of a hurry, I should get going," he says. Mary smiles her devastatingly sexy smile and purrs, "This won't take but a minute."

They end up in the utility closet, Mary pushing him up onto the counter, like he might escape. He knows he should try to leave, but his will is absolutely gone now. She's an outstanding woman, a goddess even, and who is he to deny her if she wants him?

She takes his clothes off slowly, using her hands, her lips, her teeth, until she has him completely naked. It's usually the other way around for Nicolas, he's made love for money far more often than for his own satisfaction: he is skilled & practiced in the art of giving pleasure with no thought to himself. He makes love like he plays guitar, he strokes the strings & they sing for him: he doesn't expect the strings to stroke him in return. Mary is not a willing instrument, she's a maestro & she plays Nico like a violin. Mary Strong has never had to pay any man to pleasure her, Nico is sure of that.

He wants to tell her they can never do this again...but how crude would that be? And he wouldn't be able to say it with any kind of conviction: he very much wants to do this again, he just knows it's going to bite him in the ass in future if he doesn't stop it. "You are a darling," she sighs, "I do wish I didn't have run.....I will see you again, soon," she says, and Nico can only agree.

Luckily, Jackie is asleep when he comes in. Nico showers & eats, even though he's not hungry, takes his time cleaning up after himself & the little messes Jackie has left about the house. He just wants to do anything to avoid going to bed, to climb in beside the mother of his child, sleeping soundly, trusting him to be faithful to her, because it's what he promised. The worst part is he knows he's going to do it again. As soon as he can.
