"Sure, take
your time. I have office stuff to do of my own so once she is in bed resting I
can work in the house. Have fun." Jonas punched him playfully on the
shoulder and walked into the lounge.

"Ready,
Zoe?"

She looked up at
him and then looked back at the floor but not before he had seen the light in
her eyes. He knew what that meant.

Smiling to
himself, he slid his arm around her back and one under her knees and carried
her to her room. He sat Zoe on the edge of her bed and walked into the
bathroom. Reaching in, Jonas turned on the shower. When he walked out she was
sitting where he had left her.

"Chin up,
kid."

He knelt in front
of her and undid the buttons on the shirt, brushing it off her shoulders and
sliding it from her arms. "Stand up and hold onto me and let me know if
you have a fuzzy moment."

Zoe reached her
arms out and slid them around his waist, pulling herself to her feet.

She shivered when
Jonas ran his hands around her back and undid her bra the movement sending his
blood racing. Letting it drop over her shoulders, he slid it down her arms and
she let her hands fall.

She stood in front
of him half-naked and it took all of his self control not to push her back
amongst the pillows and suck on her pert nipples. Reaching down Jonas undid the
button on her jeans. He knelt again and slid the pants down over her hips. Zoe
held his shoulders and one foot at a time, stepped out of her jeans.

He stood up and
kept his gaze on hers as she slid her fingers under the elastic of her panties
and shimmied them over her thighs. He took a deep breath and picked her up,
carrying her to the bathroom. She kept her hands around his neck when he put
her down by the shower.

Pushing her back
gently under the water he raised his eyebrow when she pulled him in too.
"I don't think you're up for games now, honey."

"Always ready
to play, you should know that." She ran a wet finger over his cheek and
then down the front of his shirt to pinch playfully at his taut nipple through
the wet cotton.

When he made no
move to stop her, Zoe undid the buttons and pushed the wet shirt over his arms
and dropped it on the floor of the shower. She leaned in and flicked her tongue
over the hard nub of flesh, biting him hard enough to make him gasp.

"I don't
think this is a good idea Zoe."

"Don't be
such a killjoy. You know you want to."

He bit his tongue
and shook his head. She was right. He wanted nothing more than to press her
against the wall and take her. He unbuckled his belt and pushed his jeans over
his hips, kicking them out of the shower in a wet heap on the bathroom floor.
His boxer shorts clung to his erection, leaving her in no doubt that he was
ready to play.

Jonas stood still
while she slid her hand up his thigh and under the wet fabric to grab his cock.
Squeezing the head gently she grinned at him.

"Told you
so."

"Yeah, you
did but I think we might take this to bed just in case you get a bit fuzzy. I
don't want to have to explain another concussion to Doc." Jonas flicked
off the shower and picked her up in his arms. He carried her out to the bedroom
and stood her beside the bed on her feet while he pulled back the bedcovers.

Zoe lay back
across the bed, her sexy smile making his blood race. She poked her finger in
her mouth swirling her tongue around it, all the time her gaze fixed on his.
Pulling the glistening finger out, she trailed it down to her nipple, tweaking
and pulling at the rosy bud of flesh.

He stood over her
and watched, his cock jerking in anticipation. This was another one of her
favorite games, to see how far she could tease him before he buckled and took
her.

Her fingers
trailed down to the small thatch of blond hair at her thighs. Parting her legs
she slid her fingers down to her clit, tickling and tweaking until her fingers
glistened with her juices.

His breath hitched
when she sucked that finger into her mouth moaning and squirming in front of
him. Jonas dropped to his knees and grabbed her legs pulling her to the edge of
the bed. He buried his face in her moist pussy desperate for a taste. He
flicked his tongue up and along the length of her opening before plunging deep
inside.

Zoe grabbed his
hair, clenching her fingers through his locks holding his head in place. She
arched up to his face encouraging him to keep going and thrust her hips higher.
Her muscles clenched under his manipulation when she neared her climax. He
brought one hand down to play with her clit while he sucked and plundered with
as she lay beneath him..

"God, Jonas,
don't stop."

Using his other
hand he slid it under her butt and lifted her up to give him deeper access to
her throbbing pussy. She let go of his hair and grabbed handfuls of bed sheet
as she shuddered under him. Warmth gushed into his mouth and she writhed under
him.

Zoe collapsed back
into the bed panting.

Jonas looked down
at her face, relaxed as a small smile curved her lips. He kissed her mound and
made a moist trail up her belly to her nipples. Taking one into his mouth he sucked
it, nipping with his teeth while his hand worked on her other one.

He lifted his head
and gazed into her eyes. "Are you alright?"

"Very much
so. That was good."

"Shall I
continue?"

"Please do.
Just for your information, we don't need protection. I'm all good."

 Jonas nodded then
nuzzled her neck and spread her thighs with his knee. Zoe lifted her butt and
reached down to guide him inside her body. He filled her in one stroke and
stilled to absorb the warmth surrounding him. He was in heaven and this was
where he belonged, laying with the only woman he had ever loved.

Zoe moved her
hips, pushing him to a steady rhythm. He held her face and plunged his tongue
in her mouth as he moved inside her. Then he raised himself onto his hands and
watched as his cock moved in and out of her body. The sight made him move
faster until with a final deep thrust he came.

***

Zoe pulled him
down onto her and rolled them both on their sides. She watched him, her eyes
sleepy and happy. Kissing his nose, she grinned at him. "That was just
what the doctor ordered."

"I sincerely
doubt it but it was what you ordered and I suppose your needs are the main
thing."

"Hmmm. Best
sleeping aid out there is, Jonas, you know the truth of my statement from
experience. Better than anything Doc can give me anyway." She nuzzled into
his neck closed her eyes.

Jonas pushed her
away and sat up. "We have to talk."

"No, let me
sleep. I can't think straight right now."

"There is
nothing to think about. Hell, get over it will you." He ran his hand through
his damp hair getting off the bed. He looked down and her and then walked away.
When he came out of the bathroom he was wearing a towel around his hips. She
watched the sway of his butt and bit her tongue. The damp towel could easily be
removed with a flick of her wrist, but sex had never fixed anything. But it was
what had kept them together longer than it should have and got them both into
trouble.

When Jonas had
refused to let her get pregnant and their relationship had started to sour she
should have walked away then but the lure of the sex they shared together kept
her going back for more. Sex with him had always been extraordinary to say the
least. She was wanton in her desire for him and his body. The games they played
were for them alone. Zoe had never deemed it acceptable to play any of them
with her other boyfriends. Probably because she never felt comfortable being so
exposed with anyone other than Jonas.

"Look, there
is still something between us and you know it as well as I do. It's not just
the sex, it's something more Zoe, something that hasn't soured with you being
so far away. We're older now and one would think a fair bit wiser." He
leaned on the door frame and folded his arms. Her inner goddess screamed for
her to rip the towel from him and torture him the way he just did her. "If
it hadn't been for Lucy pulling the wool over both our eyes we would still be
together probably a couple of kids around our feet. I can't let you throw away
another chance because of your bloody pride."

Zoe closed her
eyes and took a deep breath. Now would be a good time to tell him but for some
reason she held back. She opened her eyes and pushed down the urge to give into
him. She pulled herself up to sit on the side of the bed.

"It would be
so easy for me to just say 'yes, fuck it lets be together again.' But I can't
do it. Call it a displaced sense of shame or whatever you want but I have to
deal with this in my own way." Zoe looked at the floor, the sight of his
bare chest making her mouth water all over again. "Can you just give me a
chance to sort out my own tangled sense of right and wrong, please?"

And let me
pluck up the courage to tell you what I did to us both, what I've deprived us
of for the last ten years.

"Do I have a
choice here?" Jonas walked over and cupped her chin in his hand. Leaning
down her kissed her lips gently, brushing his lips over her hers. "Now I
really think that you should have a rest. That wasn't exactly what the doctor
ordered and you are a little bit pale still."

Zoe smiled and let
him lay her back on her bed. He tucked the blankets under her chin and smoothed
her hair on the pillow. "Sleep for a few hours and if you want we can eat
out on the deck tonight. I can make anything you want for dinner. What do you
fancy?"

"You."

"Your call,
honey, you know that. But seriously, what do you want for dinner?"

"Surprise
me." She closed her eyes and opened her mouth in a wide yawn.

"We've
overdone it. Sleep now." She snuggled down and didn't even bother to try
and fight the need for rest.

When she woke, the
sky outside was growing dark. Zoe stretched out her arms and sighed. Her
headache was all but a distant memory and the throbbing was now down to a mild
tapping inside her brain. She looked over at her bedroom door. Jonas must have
closed it when he had left her sleeping.

Zoe threw back the
blankets and lifted herself up. She was naked. Her skin prickled when she
remembered the sex session that started in the bathroom when he was helping her
to shower and ended in her own bed. It was a given, considering she could never
keep her hands from him at the best of times. Standing naked before him had
been too much for her and Zoe had pounced. She smiled at the memory. Poor Jonas
never stood a chance against her when she was in the mood for sex which was
more often than not.

She slid her feet
to the floor and stood with her arms out testing her balance. After a few sways
Zoe managed to keep upright. Taking a relieved breath she sat back down on the
edge of the bed and breathed deeply.
Should I try to walk to the closet by
myself?

Before her mind
was made up the door opened and Jonas poked his head in.

****

"I was
wondering when you were going to wake up." He walked in and ran his gaze
over her naked body appreciating how her nipples budded up as she sat there
looking far too tempting. "What do you want to wear?"

"Um, would it
be wrong to want to put on some flannel pajamas? It's only us and Brandon isn't
it?"

"If he comes
home, yes."

"Oh like that
is it?"

"Yes, like
that. What drawer are your P.J.s in?"

"The bottom
one, thanks."

Jonas pulled out a
pair of cow print P.J.s and held them up to her for approval.

Zoe laughed and
nodded.

He walked over and
shook out the top. Holding it out to her, he let Zoe slide her arms in and
knelt down to do up the buttons. He tried to ignore the blush creeping up her
cheeks and concentrated on the job at hand. Grabbing the pants he let her slide
one, then the other foot into them.

"I think you
need to stand up for this."

Jonas held her
hands and helped her stand. Reaching down, he grabbed the elastic and pulled
her pants up over her butt. He ran his hands over the soft mound of her behind
pulling her close against him. Jonas kissed the soft skin of her throat before
pushing her back.

"I think
dinner is ready. Let's go eat. I decided to eat inside because the mosquitoes
are getting quite wild outside." Jonas scooped her up in his arms and
headed out to the kitchen. He placed her on a chair at the table and once she
was settled, turned to the dinner. A roast chicken was sitting in the oven
keeping warm with vegetables and all he had to do was make the gravy. Flicking
the switch on the kettle he tipped a generous amount of gravy powder in a jug
and waited for the water to boil.

Zoe watched him
and smiled. The attention was destroying his composure. Jonas was a little bit
self conscious. "What is that grin for?"
