reality for her.
    "Yes. I'm going to do it."

    *******

    Rob booked a table at the fine dining restaurant within his hotel. Jessa wanted to meet in the centre of town, and he wasn't going anywhere far from his room tonight. If she decided to sleep with him, he didn't want to waste too much time going from wherever they were to his bed.
    The last few days had been hell. He couldn't remember frustration like that since he was seventeen, when he and cheerleader Molly took days to find a suitable time and place to have their first sexual experience, since they were both still living at home.
    Three nights ago, after his date with Jessa, he was so sexually wound up he needed relief. Since he rejected Sensational Blonde's obvious offer, he tried to release his tension by himself. But for the life of him, he couldn't understand why that wasn't anywhere near enough. All he had on his mind was Jessa, Jessa, Jessa. He gave up and had the longest, coldest shower he had ever had. He hoped he wouldn't need another one tonight.

    *******

    Jessa's heart skipped a beat when she saw Rob sitting on one of the couches near the hotel reception. Even with a big frown on his face as he checked his phone, he looked utterly delicious.
    "Problems?" she asked.
    Rob looked up and the creases on his face turned from displeasure to delight.
    "Hey, gorgeous." He stood up and gave her a sweet but brief kiss on the lips.
    She was tickled pink. Gorgeous was not a description she would give herself but tonight, she'd pretend she was. She was living a fantasy, after all--a very short one, but a fantasy nonetheless.
    "Ready?" Rob asked as he took her hand and led her towards the elevators.
    "For what?" she asked weakly.
    "For dinner," he replied laughingly.
    She blushed. Dinner. Of course. Dinner first.
    "Yes, I'm ready."

    "So what did you get up to since I last saw you?" Rob tried to keep the conversation light and friendly. He didn't want to appear like a teenager with raging hormones who couldn't think of anything but sex, although that was exactly how he felt. When he greeted Jessa with a kiss, it just wasn't enough. He wanted to kiss her senseless, like he'd been meaning to ever since she drove off in her car after their date three days ago. But he also wanted her to relax. She seemed a little nervous.
    "I've been busy with work," she answered. "The more popular the magazine gets, the more work Clarise and I have. Our boss is actually considering getting a new person to help us out. How about you?"
    "Well, apart from some very frustrating moments," he said with a wry smile, "I've had a pretty good couple of days. I was able to work on my good leads and I'm really excited about two of them. There are still some negotiations to finalise but hopefully, new contracts will be signed within a week or two. That would mean I'll be here in Sydney for a good length of time as I work with those new clients - if they eventuate, that is."
    "Oh, I hope you do get them!"
    Rob saw the play of emotions on Jessa's face. He caught what looked like hopeful excitement, followed by what seemed to be disapproval. He wondered what she was thinking. He raised his eyebrows at her in query. "What's wrong?"
    Jessa shook her head dismissively. "Nothing. I just remembered something." She gave him a big, convincing smile.
    He smiled back at her. She really was beautiful. "Yeah, I do hope I get those contracts. I'd love to spend more time here in Sydney, especially if I'll be in the company of a beautiful woman."
    His heart thudded hard as Jessa gaped at him. He was used to women gaping at him as if mesmerised. But his reaction to Jessa doing it was stronger than he'd felt with any of the others. He felt his cock stir as he gazed at Jessa, reminding him of his body's lustful need for her. He was about to reach out and stroke her face when his phone rang in his pocket. Damn it!
    "Sorry, I forgot to switch it off." He dug it out with the intention of doing just that when he saw
