I stared up at the sky; the last thing I wanted to do right now was be on 
this damn assignment.

The air conditioner was on; it was muggy and hot outside. I made a mental 
note never to vacation to Elko, Nevada in the middle of summer. Clouds had 
formed across the sky, making it hotter, pushing the heat down on us. But 
they promised no rain. Only hotness and mugginess till tomorrow, when it 
would be less muggy, but much hotter.

The clouds made it a starless night, and I was sure that underneath all 
those disgusting, gray clouds, was a clear, starry night. It was weird. The 
moon shone brilliantly, but the stars were hidden. We were forced to stare 
at nothing until the man we were pursuing was home, except, the moon.

"Monica, what's wrong?" I was snapped out of my la-la land by John's 
concerned tone.

"Nothing...do I look like something's wrong?"
"You just looked dazed is all."
"I'm so hot."
"I know...but we have to talk to this guy. He's the key suspect."

I looked at John, who looked as miserable as I felt. But he didn't show it 
on his face.

His jacket was thrown off and his sleeves were rolled up, with the first 
four buttons on his shirt undone, and his tie loosened a great deal.


Sweat beads had formed rapidly on his forehead.

I probably looked no different, I had shed my jacket ages ago and was glad 
to be wearing a cool, white, loose tank top. My pants were black wool, 
though, and they were almost driving me crazy.

My hair had been pulled up in a pony-tail, with bobby pins holding the loose 
hairs in back up, but little strands had started falling in my face and 
sticking to my forehead. I felt so miserable, and boy, would I give anything 
for a nice cold Frappacino right now.

I was dreaming of a nice, mocha Frappacino still when I felt John's hand 
brush my forehead.

"Monica are you okay?"
"Let's go to..."
I was going to suggest driving to the nearest 7-11 to get my mocha 
Frappacino, but John had just started staring intently at me.

His pretty blue eyes dug into me, into my soul, and tugged at my heart.

"What is wrong, John?" I had to ask.
~~~~~~~~~
She looked so red and steaming there, I thought maybe she had a fever. So I 
leaned over and brushed her hair back, and asked if she were okay.

Big mistake.

I hate it when you don't want to have those intimate moments with people, 
but you do, and you just get the urge inside of you to throw them down and 
kiss them and do things that were unimaginable the night before.

The moonlight hit her face at such an angle that stirred my hormones and 
egged the urge on.

"John, what is wrong?"

I had to kiss her. I wanted to. But I didn't want to. I couldn't.

"John..." her eyes were so pretty. The moon reflected in the perfect brown 
circles. "John?"

Damn, damn, damn!!!

I gave into the urge and pushed my mouth into hers, and moved in such a 
position that she was under me, and forced the kiss to go on.

To my surprise, she accepted this with open arms. Her mouth prodded open and 
her tongue made gentle, stroking movements on mine.

What was I doing? This was against all the rules.

But it felt so good...she felt so good...
~~~~~~~~
John took me by surprise at first, but then it felt too right to end, or to 
push him off.

I decided to make a move, I wanted this to go on. Feelings stirred inside of 
me, brewing up pure love and lust for John and only John, and only this 
moment.

My fingers lightly traced up his pants, and untucked his shirt. I tore the 
buttons right off, and threw the tie over his head and in the back seat.

His turn, I thought. I shouldn't be the one to do all the undressing. If he 
really wanted this, he'd take part too.

As if reading my mind, his hands worked quickly, but in a way that made me 
want this more, and all my clothes were off in less than 1 minute.

I fingered his belt lightly and pulled it off slowly.

"Monica..." he mumbled in my mouth as my fingers passed his manhood while 
shedding his pants.

"That was wonderful," I whispered to her as we finally collapsed in the back 
seat of the rented Saturn, our naked bodies bathed in moonlight.

"I know," She said confidently, trailing her fingers lightly across my skin. 
They felt so healing, soothing.

I stared at her beautiful face for a moment, then saw the strand of hair 
lightly blowing.

I looked out the open window, and seeing it. The stars had appeared, the 
clouds were gone, and a cool breeze was blowing.
