Deal With the Devil

  As she reached her orgasm at the same time he did, she clutched his buttocks even harder, surrendering to him.

  Chapter Four

  Libra: Prepare for a positive, major change soon, but be ready for some disappointment as well…

  Marie had her legs spread wide open as Nate knelt in between them. His hair was entwined between her fingers as his head moved between her legs. As his tongue made slow licks across her clit, her head moved back and forth from one side to the other in incredible pleasure.

  Marie’s body throbbed with every slow stroke of his tongue on her. Just with the simple act of moving his tongue inside her he had her at the edge of another fantastic climax. Marie swallowed hard and then moaned when she felt Nate languidly slide a finger inside her wetness as his tongue continued to play across her clit. He paused a moment before Marie felt him remove his finger from her for a moment then replace it. It took a second for Marie to realize he had slid two fingers inside of her this time, her body surrounding them. Nate slid his fingers in and out of her dripping pussy as his tongue, continually licked her clit. It only took a couple more slides and licks to bring her to another climax. She came again clutching his hair, this time panting his name breathlessly, pushing his face deeper into her wet pussy.

  When Nate crawled back up the length of her his green eyes sparkled. His face glistened, wet from her juices and she looked down and saw his cock was rock hard again. He gently rolled her on her side and lifted her top leg before sliding his cock back inside her. He reached around to play with her clit as he fucked her. Marie found herself almost delirious with pleasure. She barely had enough time to recover from one orgasm when he had her teetering at the edge of another again.

  Marie felt another orgasm rush through her. Nate squeezed her thigh as he moaned loudly and came inside her. He leaned over to kiss her before he pulled himself out of her. They were both covered in sweat and spent.

  Nate moved to lay down behind Marie spooning behind her. He wrapped his arm around her, his palm lying across her breast bone. Marie was so comfortable lying there with him behind her. She thought she was a perfect fit in her arms.

  “So are you excited about your big move?” Nate asked Marie. He looked around the room the stacks of boxes labeled kitchen, bedroom, and books. They were stacked high against the walls of the bedroom so there was only a narrow path to get to the bed.

  “Yeah, I am. My new place has double, the square footage. I’m going to make the extra bedroom into an office so that will be really nice,” Marie explained to him. “I can’t wait for you to see it.”

  Nate kissed the nape of her neck then ran his tongue there making Marie’s hair bristle. He then whispered in her ear, telling her he wanted to make love again. She smiled as she turned to him, her arms surrounding him.

  ****

  It was four in the morning and Marie lay on her back spent. She was totally exhausted and thought that in the morning she might have to call in sick to work to catch up on her sleep. Even though she and Nate had spent his entire visit in her bed, they hadn’t gotten any sleep at all. Only now Nate slept next to her with one of his legs casually thrown over her body. He had one arm across her shoulder, its weight heavy on her chest. Maybe when they woke up she’d make them breakfast. She thought…

  “I’ve got to go,” Nate said in her ear breaking the early morning silence.

  “Really?” she asked him surprised as she turned to look at him. For some reason she thought this time he would stay until the morning. Since she was going to be leaving this apartment she thought he would at least stay the night since she’d be moving the next week. Apparently she had thought wrong.

  Nate started to play with her hair, winding some strands around his finger twirling it back and forth.

  “Well darlin’, you’re not the only one I have a contract with and I need to visit some other people, too.” he explained matter of fact without emotion.

  Marie furrowed her brow as she thought about what he had just told her and felt a cold pit in her stomach. Of course his words made sense. She wouldn’t be the only one he had a contract with. What Marie didn’t like though was the idea that he had other women with the same sort of contract she had. It was crazy of her to think she was the only woman he was having sex with. His sexual appetite with Marie seemed ravenous so it only made sense he was making love with other women. Two nights a month for him wouldn’t be nearly enough, not with his sexual appetite. She had never thought about him having sex with other women. Now that she did, she didn’t like it at all.

  The problem was the idea of him with other women upset her and her own jealous reaction surprised her. She knew Nate only wanted occasional sex from her and not a relationship. He had been very clear on that from the beginning. She never expected to feel jealousy over him though.

  “I’ll tell you what though, darlin’,” he said, “I’ll be back again and we’ll have a couple more laughs,” he told her casually, then kissed her between her shoulder blades.

  That’s what he thinks this is, just having a couple laughs.

  His light tone and casual attitude towards their lovemaking really annoyed Marie even though she knew what they had wasn’t a “real” relationship. Somehow though she lost sight of that and she had gotten caught up in him. She let herself start to have feelings for him when she knew she shouldn’t.

  Nate removed his arm from across Marie’s body and pulled his leg off her as well. He sat up and turned to look down at Marie.

  “See you later, babe,” he said and in a flash was gone.

  Marie smirked at his parting words and sat up to pull her comforter over her suddenly chilled body. His calling her “babe” before he left seriously annoyed her. It felt like a slap on the face. For having a great night together in a matter of minutes he had ruined it all. He had shot the night to hell, she thought, and then laughed at the irony of her choice of words.

  Chapter Five

  Libra: Keep a level head at all costs…guard your heart with diligence or it may get broken…

  Marie and Nate lie on her bed covered in sweat. He had shown up a couple hours before and wasted no time making their clothing disappear. Marie never even had the chance to give him a tour of her new apartment.

  Nate had sat Marie on top of him so she straddled him at his waist. She immediately lowered herself down on his massive length, impaling herself on his erection. When she had wiggled herself down against him they had both simultaneously moaned. Marie could feel him raising his hips up, pushing himself even further into her. She closed her eyes and just breathed, taking in all of him.

  Marie leaned down to place a kiss on his mouth and her lips trembled against his. When she leaned forward her hair fell forward, surrounding them, a curtain of soft brown silk. Nate’s tongue probed her mouth as her body slowly raised up so his penis started to slide out of her. When only the tip of him was still inside of her she would lower herself back down his length finally grinding herself against him.

  As Marie started a rhythm riding Nate’s cock, his fingers found her swollen clit between her thighs. Marie hissed in pleasure as his finger played with her. Nate moved his hand from her clit and rolled her over on her back until he was lying on top. His cock never left her body. He took one of her legs and pulled it up so her calf rested against his shoulder letting him enter her even deeper than before. Each time he drove himself into her she felt the penetration all the up to her belly button. He was as far inside her as her body would allow.

  Marie reached up and stretched her arms up over her head, delirious in pleasure. Nate drove himself into her faster and harder with each thrust. When Nate finally reached his orgasm he held his breath and shut his eyes as his body spasmed inside of hers, releasing his seed into her. Marie followed him quickly with her own orgasm and her body contracted around his out of control.

  After a few moments, Nate opened his eyes and smiled down at Marie, his breathing still labored. He moved, pulling out of her and Mari
e lowered her leg back on the bed. Nate lay down on the bed next to her.

  Nate opened his arms to Marie and she went to him laying her head on his chest. This was the only moment of closeness she would allow herself with him. Marie had to remind herself that this wasn’t any sort of show of affection towards her by him. It was simply something he liked to do after making love. She pushed away any thought of how many other women laid there on his chest after making love, just as she was now. It’s not a real relationship, she reminded herself.

  Ever since that night when she realized she had feelings for Nate she had changed, she tried desperately to keep her emotions for him under control since she knew he wasn’t capable of being with just one woman. She knew that if she let herself fall for him totally, it would only lead to was heartbreak.

  Marie even made herself stop thinking that he was ever going to spend an entire night with her. She knew from experience that he would spend his few hours with her then go on to see someone else. It was just the way it was and there wasn’t anything she could do to change him, even if she wanted to.

  Nate suddenly leaned over and placed a kiss in Marie's hair which he would always do now before he would disappear.

  “I’ll get the tour next time I see you, I promise,” he whispered to Marie before he left.

  After he was gone Marie fixed her pillow and whispered “Bye Nate” to no one but herself. She made herself push down any sort of feelings she felt towards him. They were simply not an option.

  Chapter Six

  Libra: Today is your day, Libra… Celebrate and expect the unexpected!

  Marie sat at her desk at work, her mind preoccupied with thoughts of Nate again. It had gotten progressively harder and harder to stay emotionally unattached to him. Most of the time he treated her almost coldly, proving their being together was strictly a business transaction. But yesterday was a turning point for her and she realized her heart was in serious jeopardy. The day before had been Marie’s birthday and Nate had shown up right after she had changed out of her clothes to go to bed. He had already made his second monthly visit, so she hadn’t expected his arrival at all. Nate hadn’t come to her empty handed either on this special visit. When Nate had appeared he held a bouquet of flowers for her, a dozen blood red roses.

  “Don’t think we’re dating now because of the flowers,” he joked, as he handed the bouquet to her.

  Marie had to roll her eyes at his sarcastic remark as she took the flowers into the kitchen. His attempt at a joke only made Marie’s heart ache. She tried to act nonchalant with his surprise appearance but deep inside her heart raced with excitement.

  “I’m really surprised you’re here,” she told him as she filled her crystal vase with water. As she put the flowers in the vase Nate leaned against her kitchen counter and folded his arms across his chest watching her. Just doing a simple, casual movement made him seem sexy to Marie.

  “So why the extra visit?” she asked him. She didn’t dare let herself think he had come to her because he had missed her or cared about her.

  “Well, I couldn’t forget my little birthday girl,” Nate teased as he walked up behind Marie and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her from behind. As soon as she was in his arms she knew she couldn’t resist him. Marie put the vase on the counter and turned to hug him back and breathed in the raw masculine scent of him.

  “I didn’t know you knew it was my birthday today,” Marie said. She couldn’t remember ever telling him when her birthday was. It surprised her that he knew and that he showed up because of it.

  “Are you kidding?” Nate asked. “When I saw you that night at the bar, I knew you were a Libra right away. You were so upset about that other woman getting that promotion that you deserved. You were so pissed off with how unfair it was, remember? Libras are big into fairness and justice, just like you are…You’re a typical Libra,” Nate explained to her, then leaned in to kiss her.

  Marie kissed him back. She just couldn’t help herself.

  “Happy Birthday, Marie,” he said after he pulled back from their kiss and looked into her eyes. Marie felt her stomach flip as he looked at her. He had this way of looking at her, as if he was looking in her soul. It was unsettling.

  Nate let go of her and took her by the hand, leading her to her bedroom. As she followed him, she couldn’t help but think of how happy she was that he had made an extra visit to her that month. Despite her telling herself that she didn’t have any feelings for Nate, Marie knew she was kidding herself. No matter how hard she tried to distance herself from him she just couldn’t do it. She tried for months but it was no use. She wasn’t capable of being so close, so intimate with someone and not have feelings for them.

  When she was with Nate she was happy. She felt complete. Time went by too fast with him and she hated it when it was time for him to leave. She found herself thinking of him when she shouldn’t be. And the worst part was when she would fantasize about how their relationship would be if their circumstances were different. She often daydreamed of how life would be if Nate wasn’t who and what he was. The truth came as a harsh realization, hitting Marie right in the gut. She was in love with Nate. No matter how hard she had tried to fight it, the feelings were there. Marie was in love with the devil.

  As soon as they reached the foot of the bed all of their clothing disappeared. Marie was so used to Nate making their clothes disappear it didn’t even startle her anymore.

  When Nate opened his arms, she stepped into them like second nature. Nate kissed her neck, his lips hot on her cool skin. He always radiated a heat. His mouth traveled down her breastbone then moved down to one breast where he took her nipple in his mouth. His tongue rubbed against her erect nipple sucking hard. One of his hands found her other nipple rolling it between his thumb and forefinger. He then palmed the breast and the nipple hardened under his palm.

  Nate stood sucking the hardened peak still in his mouth when his other hand left her breast and moved down her belly, traveling down to the curly brown hair between her legs. Marie unconsciously moved her legs apart for him. It was only a second before his finger slid into her, her wetness surrounding him. Marie could feel a trickle of her wetness escaping her, slowly working its way down her trembling thighs. One touch from him and she was dripping wet.

  Nate removed his mouth from Marie’s breast but kept his finger deep inside of her.

  “You’re so wet,” he told her and Marie inhaled sharply. Hearing him say the words out loud turned her on even more.

  “I know,” she replied, unable to control the trembling of her legs. In fact all of her shook. Marie found herself fighting all those feelings for Nate that were rushing through her. She forced herself to suppress her feelings, not wanting him to know what she felt towards him. Marie tried to clear her mind before Nate read her feelings. She never knew when he was going to look inside her mind to read her thoughts. She didn’t want him to know she just realized she was in love with him.

  Nate suddenly noticed something was different with Marie. He couldn’t put his finger on it but something had definitely changed with her. When he tried to see inside her mind, he found it jumbled, like she was purposefully keeping him out of her thoughts.

  “What is it Marie?” Nate asked her as he removed his finger from her. “What’s wrong?”

  “Nothings wrong,” she lied to him, surprised he couldn’t seem to tell what she was thinking. During all their time together he always looked into her mind to find out what she was thinking or what she wanted sexually. If she could block him from her thoughts he never had to know how she really felt about him. This had been her first attempt to block her thoughts from him because she didn’t even think that it was possible before. It shocked and surprised her she had the ability to keep him out of her mind.

  “Really, nothing is wrong,” she said again trying to give him a smile. Marie didn’t want Nate to know she had just discovered what she could do. She liked knowing she could shield her thoughts from him. D
oing so might just save her from getting her heart broken. She stepped up closer to him, rubbing herself against him. “I just want you to make love to me now Nate, okay?”

  He looked down at her and his erection throbbed against her stomach.

  “Anything for the birthday girl,” he said and in one swift movement scooped her up into his arms and placed her onto the bed.

  As she lay on her back, Nate climbed onto the bed and over her. He nudged her knees apart with one of his own, opening her wide for him. He gently slid himself inside of her in one swift stroke, not even attempting to kiss her first. Marie closed her eyes and let the feeling of him take over her. She just wanted to enjoy him now and the time that they were going to have together. She was all too aware that the moments they were going to share were going to be over all too soon.

  All that she wanted was to be happy with him. Once he was gone, she’d let herself think about their sham of a relationship and try to figure out what she could do. She couldn’t keep doing this, pretending he didn’t matter to her, because he did.

  Chapter Seven

  Libra: Remember no one is perfect and mistakes happen…Love doesn’t understand rules…

  Marie hung up the phone after speaking with one of her biggest clients. They called to tell her the package they had expected that day never arrived. They were totally irate, to the point of wanting someone fired over the mistake. Marie knew their package was supposed to ship overnight since it was imperative they receive the data they needed. There was a sick feeling in her stomach as she sat back in her chair. She had been the person who had filled out the shipping form before walking the package to the mailroom.
