We Belong To The Night || chapter 4
by Jewls13
Hey. Ok, see, new chapter. Allow me to explain. This is the first time that
I have posted something without having the whole thing written. I posted the first
three chaps, not sure where I was going to go with them. But, things have chaged.
I have a plan! Now I know this may not sound all the exciting to you, but it's a
good thing. Not only do I have a plan, I have a co-writer too. d_beaux(my good friend)
has agreed to help me out. Now, she is a great erotica writer-I am not. I can see
it in my head, but I just can't write it in the way that gives people tingles. She can.
I will post when I finish writing the chapter. Nothing will stand in the way of me
getting the new chaps out as soon as they are done. Not even school-which is where
I really should be right now(damm, I missed yesterday too. I know my professer likes me,
I just hope that translates into not counting the few absesntes that I have over the limit).
As far as spoilers go, I know that Jess's last name isn't Danes, I just like the way, Jess
Danes sounds. Also, I do not consider this an AU. I have worked very hard to keep
this in charcter, and I do think that given the right circumstances, they would act this
way. Isn't that what fanfic is all about? But if it makes you feel better, put a
"suspention on disbelief" for a while and sit back and enjoy.
I also changed the title. I feel, given the direction that this story is taking,
that this new title is better suited for this fic.
Once again, my plea for you all to read, "Code of Silence". It's a great story and although
it may not seem like a romance, trust me, it will suprised you. You will not be disapointed.
Trust that I can write a damm good plot line and that Taylor can do great narration,
and that d_beaux can beta. It;s posted under my co-author's name, Taylor. Please read it.
My comp has been wiggy, so rather then have this is a "word" file, I had to do this
in "notepad". So the spelling and such might be a bit off. If it looks really bad and people
bothered my it, I'll fix it up.
ok, here is chapter4
read and as always, review
It had been a week since the "incident" in Rory's bedroom. To the naked
eye, nothing was different. Truth was, Rory and Jess hadn't spoken other
than food orders. The awkwardness, however, was threatening to overwhelm
them both.
Having just gotten back from her date with Dean, Rory decided to go for a
walk around Stars Hollow to clear her head. Her house had been too
suffocating tonight. As she walked, lost in thought, she really didn�t pay
attention to where she was headed. She continued walking for close to an
hour before she finally took notice of her whereabouts. When she looked up
from her reverie, she found herself at the bridge over the lake. As her
surroundings became clear, she noticed Jess sitting several feet in front of
her. She approached him quietly.
"Hey."
"Hey," Jess replied.
"Is this seat taken?"
"It is now, I guess"
Rory sat down next to Jess and let her legs hang over the bridge next to
Jess�. The air was thick with unspoken words.
"How have you been?" Rory asked.
"Good, you?"
"Good."
They sat in silence for a few moments, the only sound that of the crickets
chirping and leaves moving in the wind. What should have been peaceful
sounds were deafening.
"I'm sorry," Jess said.
"For what?" Rory asked almost inaudibly.
Raising an eyebrow, Jess prompted, "Last week, in your room..."
"Oh." The silence returned, neither knowing what to say next.
Finding the quiet overpowering, Rory blurted, "It happened again...with Dean."
"Why do you stay with him?"
"I love him," Rory said simply.
Jess laughed bitterly.
"What?" she questioned.
"Permission to speak freely?" Jess queried.
"Granted."
"I don't understand how you can love someone who makes you feel so bad about
yourself."
"I'm not asking you to." Rory said sofly
Rory reached out and cupped his cheek with her hand. As he turned into her
touch, he pulled her into his embrace. Jess let one hand glide to the
glossy strands of hair at the back of her neck. Sensing no rebuke, he
allowed his fingers to slide easily through the silky mass, down her arms,
to her waist to meet his other hand already resting there.
Jess pulled back slightly, and his eyes searched hers. Just as he was about
to speak, Rory cut him off. "I just want......" she whispered.
"I know" Jess said breathlessly
Rory let her hand travel down his face and placed
it on the pulse point at the hollow of his neck, feeling his rapid heartbeat
beneath her touch. She cast her eyes down to follow the path her hands were
making. Her hands moved deliberately to his shoulders and arms, and she
felt the sinewy muscles that rippled under her contact. The electric
feeling exploding around her was new and exhilarating.
Jess watched as Rory studied him with awe, his body on fire from her mere touch. Her hands fell to his wrist, effortlessly moving to his hands. The rough calluses on his palms, a start contrast to her smooth skin, elicited an arousing friction that neither could deny. Hesitantly, Rory began to bring her hands to his chest. Running her fingers over the fabric, she could feel his warmth seeping into her.
Rory's eyes widened in fascination as she watched her hands move tenderly over his broad chest, leaving no place uncharted.
Moving back from him, Jess sighed. Not sure if it was out of disappointment, or relief. When Rory placed her hands on his thighs, Jess's first reaction was to pull her towards him, but he knew he should stop this-whatever this was before instinct was all that was left.
"Rory..stop..." Jess began but as Rory's hands began to work their way up legs, rational thought flew out the window. He reached his hand out to cup Rory's face. As the slightest touch, Rory seemed to break out of whatever trance she was in and jumped.
"Don't"
"What?"
"Don't," Rory repeated, more forcefully
"But I was the one who..." Jess said incredusly, as he reached out to touch her shoulder
"Just get.....I have to go." and with that Rory ran off.
As Jess watched her run, he sat back down on the bridge. Running his hand through his hair, he struggled to figure out what had just happened.
