November 1998
"So you mean to tell me you've been seriously going out with Jessica for 5 months now and you two haven't been intimate?" AJ asked, a slightly amused expression on his face.
"AJ there's nothing wrong with that,"Brian said defending his friend who was now shooting daggers at AJ with his eyes.
"Yeah it doesn't matter if we haven't made love yet. I love her and I want it to be the most special experience for the both of us. It's not gonna be just some quickie in the back of a car or in the shower. It's gonna be romantic and meaningful. When it happens. You know sex changes the whole relationship and I think that's why we're both holding off. It doesn't have to be right now, we're not rushing this," Nick explained.
"It's ok Nick you don't have to explain your relationship with Jess to us just because AJ's being an ass. That's your business and your business only,"Kevin said.
"Hey! I'm not an ass! I'm just saying I find it hard to believe that they've been together for 5 months and he hasn't touched her yet,"AJ defended.
"Well Dr. Ruth, that's not for you to say,"Howie said while Nick looked gratefully at his friends for sticking up for him. They all smirked at Howie's comment, even AJ.
"Ok yeah, yeah, I get it. Stay out of Nick's personal life. Geez, I can't even voice my opinion anymore," AJ pouted.
"Haven't you learned yet that your opinion always gets you in trouble. Remember when you HAD to "voice your opinion" at the club and you almost got us all police records, so no more of that,"Brian smirked.
"Cute Rok, real cute,"AJ said sarcastically.
Nick had seriously thought about what AJ had said. Maybe Jessica and him were ready. He loved her. She loved him. They were in love and that was what people in love were supposed to do right? There was no question that he didn't love her, there hasn't been for 3 years, yet he didn't know if it was the right move to make in their relationship. Lord knew Nick wanted it, but he wasn't sure if Jessica was ready. Nick knew Jessica's morals on this subject, and he was willing to wait for her if that's what it took to be her boyfriend and love her. Maybe he should talk to her just in case and find out. Just then he felt a soft pair of lips on his neck and smiled.
"Hey Jess," he said turning around and kissing her lips softly.
"Whatcha thinking about baby?" she asked, placing herself on his lap.
He rapped his arm around her slim waist,"You actually."
"Oh really, good or bad?"she asked with a smile that made him melt.
"Definately good," Nick said kissing the side of her soft neck.
"Wanna share it with me?" Jessica asked closing her eyes, loving the way Nick's lips felt on her tender skin.
"Ok but it's pretty serious. It's about us, our relationship,"
She quickly turned around, facing him with an alarmed expression on her face,"What's wrong?"
"Baby relax, it's just something we need to talk about, nothing bad."
"Ok...go ahead, I'm listening."
"You know I love you right?"
"Of course, and I love you."
"Well I was thinking about taking our relationship to the next level. The intimate level. I'm giving you the option, because I want you to be ready and comfortable. This is a serious step and I want us to be equally as ready." Nick couldn't read the expression on her face as he was talking.
"So you want us to have sex."
"No, make love, and I told you, if you're not ready, I'll wait. I'll wait forever if I have to."
There was a pause that lasted a few seconds,"Wow, this is a really big step. You know I'm a virgin and-"
Nick cut her off quickly,"Yeah I know, so am I, and I know this is a huge step for us, this could change everything."
"Yeah but you didn't let me finish. I WANT you to be my first. I love you more everyday I spend with you and I can see us spending the rest of our lives together. I know you'd never hurt me."
"Never."
"And I know this is a big step which could change everything, but I'm willing to risk it if you are."
Nick smiled at his beautiful girlfriend,"Yeah I am. I love you Jess. You're the only person I could ever see myself with."
"Yeah me too Nick. I love you too."
They looked at eachother and kissed deeply, knowing that this was just the beginning of their relationship.
"Nick what's going on? You called me to your hotel room, told me to wear the fanciest thing I have, and won't let me in yet," Jessica said with her hands on her hips. Nick drank in the sight of her. Her sexy figure was clad in a long, tight black dress with a slit up one side that came to mid-thigh and thin spaghetti straps. It was low cut and showed off just the right amount of cleavage to look sexy, yet tasteful. Her make up was dramatically done with black eyeliner lining her outstanding blue eyes and a wine color lipstick on her full lips. Her long, straight brown hair was left down and it fell just to the bottom of her breasts. It was parted slightly on one side.
"Well first of all I'd like to say, you look incredibly beautiful,"Nick smiled.
She smiled back looking down and blushing slightly, "You don't look so bad yourself there Carter. In fact, you look damn hot." Now it was his turn to blush.
Nick looked down at his black, Armani suit and realized they both looked like they were ready to go to some kind of ball, but it was a special evening,"Thank you. And second of all, before we go inside, I want to let you know it's a very special night and I want you to be sure this is what you want before we go in."
"Geez Nick, you don't think I know what you have planned? If I didn't, I would have given you the 3rd degree over the phone before agreeing to dress up like I'm going to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen. Yes Nick, to answer your question, this is definately what I want. I wouldn't have come tonight if it wasn't," she explained to him giving him a breathtaking smile when she was finished.
He bought his lips to hers in a earth shattering kiss, "Then lets go in shall we?"
"We shall,"she smiled as he held open the hotel room for her and she walked in.
"My lord Nick, I can't believe you did all this!" Jessica exclaimed in apparent shock,"It's beautiful!"
"AJ did give me a little help on what to do,but I knew you'd love it,"Nick admitted, looking into the room lit with 50 candles and covered with dozens of red and white roses. Soft music was playing in the background.
"This is amazing,"she breathed taking in the site, her eyes wandering."This is our song Nick!"
His eyes smiled and his lips turned up in a grin,"I was hoping you'd notice. Bryan Adams 'Heaven', the first song we ever danced to, which was back in '95 I think. I put it on repeat"
Jessica smiled,"You are amazing Nick Carter. This is amazing. All of this you did for me."
"Yeah, all for you, I love you more then anything."
"I love you too. More then anything,"Jessica said kissing him.
"Come on, gorgeous, wanna dance?"
"Did you even have to ask?"
Nick turned the volume up and pulled her close into his arms,the song was just beginning again. He sang softly into her ear,"Oh thinking about our younger years. It was only you and me, we were young and wild and free. Now nothing can take you away from me, we've been down that road before, but that's over now, you keep me coming back for more. Baby you're all that I want when you're lying here in my arms, I'm finding it hard to believe we're in heaven. And love is all that I need and I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see we're in heaven. Oh once in your life you find someone who will turn your world around, bring you up when you're feeling down. Yeah nothing can change what you mean to me, oh there's lots that I can say, but just hold me now coz our love will lie the way,"Nick saw tears in Jessica's eyes as he stared into them singing the words that were so true. He pressed her into him again and kissed her forehead gently and they danced the rest of the song.
"Are you hungry?"Nick asked Jessica when the song finished and it was just starting back up again.
"Yeah...for you. Make love to me Nick,"she whispered in a seductive voice,"No foreplay, just make love to me. Slowly."
Nick nodded not trusting his voice. He was a little surprised, not expecting her to be so blunt about it. He pulled her to him, kissing her lips. Jessica opened her mouth, allowing Nick access. Their tongues swirled together in an erotic dance. Nick reached behind her and slowly unzipped her dress. They broke apart and Jessica stepped out of it. It dropped leaving a black pool at her feet. Nick's eyes broke apart from hers, and roamed her body. His heart sped up and he almost thought he would pass out. She was in a pair of little lacy black undies and that was it. Her large, full breasts were exposed. Jessica walked slowly to him and kissed him again. His hands roamed her breasts, her thighs, her back, everything. Nick's fingers teased her pink nipples to hard peaks.
"You're so beautiful, so soft,"he mumbled, as he kissed her neck. Jessica pulled off his suit jacket and unbuttoned his shirt, pulling it off. After that, she took his pants off and let them fall at his feet.
"There now we're even,"Jessica whispered, eyeing his hardened cock through his underwear.
"That's how bad I want this Jess,how bad I want you"Nick said meeting her gaze. He pulled her towards him and his hand traveled down to her center and felt her wetness through her underwear.
Jessica moaned but resisted,"No touching. I want this night to last. We have plenty of time for the other stuff later."
Nick nodded and led her over to the bed. He layed her down then layed on top of her. He removed her underwear and then his. "Are you ready?"
She nodded,"Yeah as ready as I'll ever be."
"I love you,"Nick said.
"I love you too,"Jessica replied.
Nick kissed her and entered her slowly. She cried out from the pain, but as he got further in it was replaced by pleasure. He slowly began to thrust in and out, and she met his thrusts. Jessica rapped her long legs around him, and they made love. The only sounds in the room were the soft moans from their lovemaking and the soft music. After many minutes of pleasure, the couple climaxed together.
"Mmmm, oh God, Nick that was incredible,"Jessica breathed, her sweaty body against his. Nick pulled out, but still remained on top of her.
"Yeah it was, and it was even better that it was with you. I love you,"Nick said kissing her nose.
"I love you too,"Jessica said with a small smile and cuddled up in his arms. Together they drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
