and groans loudly.  I move my fingers further down and put pressure on her clit as I rock into her, deep and slow.
    “Yes,” she moans as she closes her eyes.  She is beautiful like that, with her eyes closed in bliss, but I need to see into those green jewels as she comes undone.
    “Em, open your eyes.  L ook at me.”
    She does.  Her eyes bore into mine as our bodies work together to bring us both to climax.
    “Nick.”
    I watch as her eyes flutter and she falls apart around me, her mouth open and panting with pleasure.  I follow close behind her, groaning her name. Collapsing on top of her, I struggle to catch my breath.  I’m sure I’m probably crushing her with my weight but I don’t have the energy to move straight away.  When I finally try to, Em’s arms just hold me tighter to her body.  We lie like that for some time, just holding each other, clinging onto one another, as if we are both trying to hang onto this moment.
    Eventually her arms relax and I roll over to her side.  I don’t even pull off the condom straight away because that would require too much effort.
    And I am completely wrecked.

Emma
     
    We lie in the dark for a while.  In silence.  What is there to say?  That was beyond intense.  I can’t look into his eyes like that, while doing that, and not feel anything.  Who am I kidding?  I can’t do any of this and not feel anything.  I hear Nick’s breathing even out beside me and give a small chuckle when I realise he has fallen asleep, with a condom on. The smile on my face fades with the realisation that this , with Nick, is going to leave me absolutely shattered. 
    I have been a mess since Seth.  I hated that I couldn’t make it work with him.  I felt terrible for what I did to him.  But that’s not the real reason I was such a mess, I realise that now.  It had more to do with Nick than anything.  It was knowing that Nick was out there and I couldn’t have him.  Being with him now is only going to make things so much harder later when he’s off gallivanting around the world.  I have to do something to lessen the blow.
    I quickly wipe away a tear when he stirs beside me and smile at him when he opens his eyes.
    “How long was I out?” h e asks, sitting up on his elbows.
    “Only like a minute or tw o.”
    “Oh good.”   I glance downwards and smile.  His eyes follow mine and he chuckles. “Yeah, well I better go get cleaned up then.”
    “Feel fr ee to have a shower if you like,” I say to his retreating back.  When he reaches my bedroom doorway he turns around.
    “Care to join me?” h e asks huskily.
    “Raincheck, ” I repeat the word he used earlier.
    I swallow as I watch him disappear.  I would love to join him in the shower but that would only make this harder.  When I hear the shower running I get up and put on a pair of pyjamas.

Nick
     
    The whole time I’m in the shower I think about everything that has happened in the past twenty-four hours.  I’m exhausted, but not from the physical exertion, I know I’m fit, that is not the problem.  I’ve realised it’s because of how I feel about Em. The emotions she draws from me are nothing I have ever felt before and it’s draining me in a new way.  What we have been doing together sexually, has only solidified my feelings for her.  I don’t know how I can go overseas and forget any of this has happened.  The internal battle I have going on is wearing me out.
    When I exit the bathroom in a towel , I find Em sitting in the lounge room watching TV.
    “ You want to come to the club?” I ask her, but when I reach her on the couch I see that she is wearing PJs and looks pretty settled for the night.
    “Not tonight,” s he mumbles, before taking a sip of her beer.  Her eyes never leave the TV screen.  I can’t tell if she is upset or just tired, but I can tell she’s not in a talkative mood.  I move around her apartment collecting my clothes and putting them on as I find them.  Then
