Jess' room

Inside it was warm and dry. I'm sure with a more sober eye at the time, I would've appreciated or at least taken in some of the details of Jess' home. Instead, what I remember of the next part of the night was almost in fast-forward. I briefly met and spoke to Jess' roommate, I genuinely don't even remember her name, stumbled to Jess' room and then had a battle of politeness about where I should sit due to being wet through after wading through the streets.

"Just sit anywhere," Jess said in mock exasperation, "except the bed obviously." I looked over at the office chair next to her desktop, the bean bag in the corner, covered in stuffed animals and the stool-slash-stepladder that Jess obviously used to reach things above her wardrobe, compensating for her petite height. I turned around to jokingly complain about the lack of guest seating and froze. Jess had her back turned towards me and was topless, clearly mid way through changing our of her wet clothes. Her black shoulder-showing top and blue bra were lying discarded on the bed next to her and I stared at her naked back complete with the smallest hint of panties creeping out of the top of her tight jeans. She looked over her should at me and cocked an eyebrow before adopting mock indignation.

"Do you mind? I'm a bit exposed here" she chided playfully. I still just stared. I can't say for sure that I was actually drooling. "Seriously, Steve. Turn around." She said a little more sternly. I obliged and turned to face the wall. Rustling sounds behind me suggested that she was now working her way out of her jeans, socks, and probably panties too. God give me strength I thought, imagining that perfect peach of an arse, naked and just a few metres away.

I felt a hand on my arm and turned to see Jess standing in front of me in nothing but a light blue towel.

"I'm going to warm up with a shower" she said, smiling. "There's a towel for you there to dry off and I've still got one of your t-shirts that you can have back." she turned to walk away and looked back over her shoulder "Lucky I stole it really" she laughed "back soon, please get comfortable". With that she left, pulled the door closed behind her and creaked her way down the corridor to the bathroom.

With the shower now going I proceeded to get changed into my reclaimed t-shirt, still smelling sweetly of its thieving previous owner, and out of my wet clothes. I took the time to take in Jess' small and cluttered room. Contrary to her constantly well turned out and beautiful appearance, she'd never been a particularly tidy person and it hadn't changed since we'd last seen each other. Organised chaos I guess. I sat on the bed and took a few practice bounces. Very springy and soft, getting comfortable would be no effort. Shuffling backwards and swinging my legs up, I misjudged and managed to kick the chair holding my wet trousers, sending coins cascading out of my pockets.

"Fuck's sake" I muttered and set about clearing them up. With two coins left to go, I spotted something that made me cock an eyebrow. A drawer under the bed. In my drunken state, I didn't take much time convincing myself that one of the coins must have surely dropped through the cutout hand hold of the draw and that it was my duty to open said drawer and rescue it. It was the decent thing to do, and anything I saw in there would be completely by accident.

Opening the drawer I rummaged through some random belongings until I struck the jackpot. Under a copy of a fashion magazine, was a hint of opaque latex with a silver base. Pulling it out to get a better look it turned out to be a vibrating back massager. I grinned from ear to ear. Sure. This was used for back pain. Of course it was. One hundred percent. Flicking it on to one of the pulse settings, I was oddly satisfied and excited to see that it only had fifty or so percent battery charge remaining. After letting my mind dwell on an image of Jess laying back, legs spread and pleasuring herself with it I decided that the massager should probably go back where it belonged. It was as I put it back however, that I saw something that changed how the night panned out altogether.
