Sue Ellen had slept in his arms again last night. This morning he had been unable to resist temptation and had woken her up sweet kisses and the intent of making love to her. They&#039;d engaged in some seriously heavy petting before John Ross had woken up and demanded his mother&#039;s attention from his playpen in the corner of the room.JR clenched his jaw and took a deep breath. He was tense and frustrated. He&#039;d promised Sue Ellen that he would give her time and space, but he didn&#039;t know how much longer he could hold out.He wanted her.And time was running short for him.He only had two weeks to repair his marriage and to get his family back on Southfork according to Jick&#039;s terms.He was going to have to ramp up his seduction campaign of his wife; promise to take it slow or not.***&quot;Are you going to the hospital this morning?&quot; Bobby asked, straightening his tie in the mirror.&quot;Yes,&quot; Pam nodded. She was sitting at her vanity putting on her jewelry. &quot;Although not sure why I should bother. He doesn&#039;t even know I&#039;m there.&quot;&quot;I&#039;m sure he&#039;ll wake up soon,&quot; Bobby assured her, slipping on his jacket. &quot;Yes. And then he&#039;ll be facing a lot of serious questions from the police. Not to mention have to deal with all his health problems.&quot;&quot;Yeah. Wouldn&#039;t want to be in his shoes,&quot; Bobby sighed. &quot;Pam, I&#039;m going to skip the family scene this morning and have breakfast in town.&quot;&quot;Why?&quot; She asked. &quot;Does it have something to do with whatever kept you up all night?&quot;&quot;Yes. I&#039;ll tell you about it later. Let&#039;s just say I don&#039;t trust myself to be in my father&#039;s presence right now.&quot;&quot;Bobby…&quot;&quot;Honey, please. I don&#039;t want to get into it right now.&quot;&quot;Alright. Just remember I love you.&quot;&quot;That&#039;s the one thing in this world I know I never have to doubt.&quot;***&quot;JR!&quot; Sue Ellen yelped at the sound of breaking glass.&quot;Sorry,&quot; he grunted testily. They were having breakfast at her kitchen counter. JR had slammed his glass down hard and it had shattered.She sighed and began cleaning up the glass. &quot;You&#039;re certainly in a mood this morning.&quot;&quot;Well, what do you expect, Sue Ellen?&quot; He sneered. &quot;Am I supposed to be all sunshine and rainbows when Bobby is running my company and I&#039;m not allowed to touch my wife?!&quot;Sue Ellen stood up straight and narrowed her eyes on his face. &quot;Well, JR, if you want your company back, I suggest you stop moping around here and get into the office and fight for it. As for not being allowed to touch me, you agreed with me that we needed to work on our marriage before we jumped back into bed together. Maybe if over the years you had spent more time touching me and less time touching my sister and your other whores, we wouldn&#039;t have so many wounds to heal!&quot;&quot;Yes,&quot; JR couldn&#039;t deny the truth of her words. &quot;I know our problems are my fault. And I know we have to talk before we make love. But, I&#039;m a man, Sue Ellen. I have needs that aren&#039;t being met. You can&#039;t expect me not to be frustrated about it!&quot;Sue Ellen&#039;s eyes darkened with worry and she turned away from him. JR was a man&#039;s man. He needed sex almost as much as he needed to breathe. She couldn&#039;t help but wonder what would happen if she continued to deny him sex. Would he go to another woman?Of course he would, she answered her own question in her mind.JR growled under his breath and stood up. He knew her too well not to know what she was thinking. &quot;I&#039;m not going to cheat, Sue Ellen,&quot; he told her. He put his arms on her shoulders and gently turned her around to face him. &quot;I want to save our marriage. Taking another woman into my bed would kill any chance of that.&quot;&quot;JR…&quot;&quot;I can wait, honey. All I&#039;m saying is you need to cut me some slack when I get a little testy.&quot;&quot;Why do you cheat, JR? Don&#039;t I please you?&quot;&quot;Sue Ellen…&quot;&quot;I need to know. If I don&#039;t give you what you need…&quot;JR shifted uncomfortably and struggled with his own emotions. He and Sue Ellen had never talked about their sex life. She was his wife. She was a lady - dignified and classy. She wasn&#039;t one of his lovers who he could just instruct to do what he wanted…&quot;JR? I don&#039;t please you, do I?&quot; She asked again, her eyes full of tears.&quot;You please me,&quot; he told her. &quot;But maybe..&quot;&quot;What?&quot; She pushed when he hesitated.&quot;Maybe I wasn&#039;t always as honest about what I wanted as I should have been.&quot;&quot;Why?&quot;&quot;Because… oh hell, Sue Ellen, I can&#039;t talk about this!&quot;&quot;Why not?&quot;&quot;Because you.. you&#039;re…&quot;&quot;I&#039;m what, JR?&quot;&quot;Nevermind,&quot; he said shortly and released her. &quot;I gotta go to the office.&quot;&quot;JR, please!&quot;&quot;I&#039;m sorry, Sue Ellen,&quot; he crammed his hat onto his head and moved to the door. &quot;I just can&#039;t talk about it with you.&quot;Sue Ellen felt her tears on her cheeks as she watched him walk out of the apartment.

He isn&#039;t satisfied with…&quot;&quot;With what?&quot; Pam&#039;s eyes narrowed.&quot;He cheats because I can&#039;t please him in bed!&quot; Sue Ellen burst out.Pam couldn&#039;t help herself. She laughed out loud and shook her head.&quot;This isn&#039;t funny, Pam!&quot;&quot;No, I guess it isn&#039;t,&quot; Pam caught her breath and forced herself to stop laughing. &quot;Sue Ellen, you&#039;re my best friend in this world and I love you. So, please don&#039;t get offended by what I&#039;m about to say.&quot;&quot;What?&quot;&quot;Sit down,&quot; Pam sighed heavily. &quot;It&#039;s time you and I have a talk about men and sex and love and marriage.&quot;&quot;Pam, I can&#039;t…&quot;&quot;Yes, you can,&quot; Pam insisted. &quot;Sit down, Sue Ellen. We have a lot to talk about and it&#039;s going to take some time.&quot;**&quot;&quot;Mrs. Sheppard, you have to realize that like all invasive medical procedures this one comes with risks.

On top of that, you&#039;re asking me to manipulate the results of the test.&quot;&quot;I&#039;m not ASKING you to do anything,&quot; she said cooly. &quot;You will do exactly as I say. Unless of course you want the medical board to see that tape of you having sex with a patient right here in your examining room.&quot;&quot;No,&quot; the doctor sighed, defeated. &quot;When are we doing it?&quot;&quot;Tomorrow afternoon as soon as you close the office for the day.&quot;&quot;Alright.&quot;&quot;Don&#039;t look so glum,&quot; Patricia laughed. &quot;After tomorrow, you&#039;ll be done. You&#039;ll never see me or Kristen again.&quot;&quot;If that&#039;s true,&quot; the doctor sighed, &quot;then tomorrow will be the happiest day of my life.&quot;Patricia nodded and walked out the back door of the office to her waiting car. Part of her hated what she was doing. Sue Ellen was her daughter and she loved her.But she also loved Kristen. The only way to keep Kristen out of jail was to make sure JR had a reason to keep her free.She was sorry for Sue Ellen. But it had to be done. And it had to be done quickly, before Kristen lost patience and did something that would make them all suffer.***</blockquote>
