TAYLOR: "Jess the kids went to bed probably an hour ago.." I told her. "My mother is probably worried to death about you. Please, let's go inside, then we can say our goodbyes and I'll take you home." "Tay.." she choked and shook her head. "I can't move...my head...I need a few more minutes..Please." "Your head? Baby what is it?" I asked concerned. I turned her toward me, but she wouldn't look up. "It keeps playing over and over in my head.." she said, her voice shaking. "I can't get it out..I don't wanna think about it anymore.." her hands dug into her own hair and she scrunched down into a tighter ball. I stroked her back, her arms, rubbed her shoulders. "My god Jessie..I'm so sorry baby..." I told her again, and tried to wrap myself around her, but she only shrunk down further into herself. "Jess, no. Look at me." I commanded, turning her shoulders to make her face me, but she still wouldn't look up. "Jess.." I said her name louder and cupped her cheeks in my hands, trying to tilt her face toward me. "LOOK at me..please.." I practically begged. She relaxed slightly and let me tilt her face up toward mine. "I love you. I love you more than anything. Nothing will hurt you like that ever again, baby. I promise. I won't let him anywhere near you and neither will Jake, I PROMISE. We'll be okay. YOU will...he can't hurt you now." I said, fiercely. "I love you Jessie.." "Tay...you know I love you...and I know you love me, I do. I just want him out of my head and out of my life..and now he won't do either. I just want to forget again. It took so long...so long..for the nightmares to stop. Gram would have to come running almost every night. So long for me not to be afraid to leave the house, go to school...I don't want to start all over. I can't..." her eyes filled up as she looked into mine. "I want him out of my head.."

"Oh baby.." I caressed her cheek gently and wiped the tears that spilled down them away with my thumbs. "I'm here..." I told her and kissed her lips softly. She immediately relaxed into me and her arms flew around my neck, as she parted her lips to let me taste her slightly salty mouth. "I love you Jess.." I breathed as we pulled apart for air. "I need you, Tay...love you so much...I need you..." she whispered and kissed me, digging her hands into my hair. I kissed her back and pulled her closer, pressing her body against mine. Our kisses grew intense and urgent, and I knew she wanted me to make her forget, clear her head of anything ugly that was still there. And I wanted to do that, make her feel safe, happy and loved and rid her of anything that would make the strong, brave, woman I married afraid to live the life we had planned together.

TAYLOR: "Jess..." I breathed back. "I love you.." I whispered into her ear and raked my hands through her hair, pushing it off her face so I could look at her. "Tay...I love you so much..." she said softly, her eyes boring into mine, looking straight into my soul. "I NEED you...I hadn't really been LIVING until you came along and stole my heart, and my breath away... I saw you and I couldn't breathe, literally. I need you...you make me FEEL Tay... I didn't want to...and I do now, I want to FEEL YOU...now...please.." she breathed and kissed me again, making my heart pound and my blood race. "Jess, ohgod baby.." I murmured back, "I need you too..." Her hands were inside my shirt, roaming over my chest and stomach. She moved them up to my shoulders as I finished unbuttoning it, then quickly shrugged out of it. I tugged her overshirt back off her shoulders as she kissed me again, her tongue making a thorough search of my mouth. She dropped her arms and shrugged out of it, leaving me to find a place to drop it as her hands followed every curve of my body and then found their way into my hair. "Jess..c'mere.." I whispered and tugged her arms so she was sitting on my lap. I moved her hair off her neck and kissed her at the curve where her shoulder joined it. I pulled the tiny strap down over her shoulder as I let my tongue make a wet trail over her smooth skin. "Tay.." she breathed as she pulled her arm up and throught the strap and then we repeated the process on the other side, so that her tank was scrunched around her waist, baring her warm, full breasts to my touch. "Tay..mm.. keep touching me...I need to feel you.." she murmured while I cupped them softly and ran my thumbs over her hardening nipples. Her mouth met mine again and I shifted slightly, so I could lean her back and lick and suck at her neck, then work my way down to take a stiff, rosy-brown nipple into my mouth. She gasped and tightened her fingers in my hair and on my arm.

I moved my mouth to give the other one equal attention, while my blood pulsed at breakneck speed through my body and to my hard, straining erection. "Lean up, baby.." I murmured. When she did, I quickly got both of us to our feet, then turned so her back was against the birch we had been leaning against, smooth where the bark had peeled away. I pushed her tank the rest of the way down her hips and off her body, then quickly undid her shorts slipping them and her tiny silk panties down to her ankles. She quickly stepped out of them and slipped her arms back around my neck, tilted her head and kissed me urgently, pressing her bare breasts to my chest. "Jess...god.." I breathed when she pulled her mouth from mine and tasted every inch of skin on my chest, shoulders and neck. I dug my hand into her hair and anchored her with one arm to the tree. I kissed her neck and shoulders, the made my way down between her breasts. I slipped the other hand from her hair down her body and between her legs, groaning at the warm wetness I felt when my fingers parted her folds and found her swollen nub. Her knees buckled slightly and I caught her with the one arm and held her, keeping her steady. "Tay..." she moaned softly, reaching for the buckle on my belt. "I need to FEEL you..."  She undid my pants quickly and I stepped slightly back to push them down on my hips as she took my stiffness in her warm hand. "Yes..." she whispered under her breath. "Tay, you feel so good.." she told me softly as she pumped me quickly. "Uuuhhhh Jess..." I groaned, rested my forhead on hers, and dipped my finger into her slick wetness. I drew that finger up and circled it over her button, reveling in the sound of her gasp of pleasure.
