Nathan moves and he pulls me to where I’m lying on my back, staring in to his beautiful blue eyes. He continues to stare into my eyes, not saying a word.
I don’t give him time to say anything, much less think; I pull his head down for our lips to connect.
Nathan kisses back, never pulling away from me.
Oh, how I’ve waited for this to happen again.
I start out slow, not sure how he will react, but I can feel him start to kiss me with determination. I open my mouth slightly giving into the temptation that is Nathan, and he takes advantage of it. He’s tasting my mouth, and devouring me.
His kisses feel like an electric shock is going through my body. I can’t even begin to explain the pull he has on me and my body.
He starts to slowly pull his lips away from mine, “Please, don’t stop,” I plead.
“O, we should probably talk more first,” he says as he kisses the tip of my nose.
“What’s there to talk about?” I ask abruptly.
“Us,” he says in a calming tone.
“What about us? You know I want you, hell I’ve always wanted you. I’ve been in love with you since we were kids,” I say, shocking the hell out of him based on his facial expression.
He’s looking at me and his eyes darken, I can tell what I said affected him, but he’s not saying anything in response.
“Nathan,” I say taking his face in my hands so he’s looking me directly in the eyes, “I want you, only you. Yes, you were an asshole, but you had a good reason, but it doesn’t change how I’ve always felt about you.”
“Shit,” he says as he moves off of me and sits up on the opposite end of the couch.
Oh no, what the hell did I do? Maybe I read the signs wrong. Maybe he’s not interested in me, maybe Chad was wrong.
“Liv…look, if we take things further than kissing, it’s going to be because you’re mine, no one else’s. I won’t share, I’ll never fucking share you,” he says in a demanding tone piercing me with his dark beautiful blues.
“Good, then we are on the same page,” I say with a smile.
“No Liv, we aren’t. I lost you once, I’ll be damned if I lose you again. I need you to really think about what you want because if it’s anything else, then we need to stop now.”
“Nathan,” I say as I crawl toward him on the couch, “I want you, now, and always,” I tell him happily.
Nathan crushes his mouth to mine, “You have no idea how much I wanted to hear you say that,” he says as he pulls me onto his lap where I’m straddling him.
I rock back and forth on his growing erection, telling him I want more. I’ve dreamed of this day with him.
I reach down and pull his tee-shirt off, revealing his beautiful chiseled chest.
I’m not sure what I want to do first, do I lick his chest and pay special attention to his tattoos, or do I head further south, or just stick with kissing right this second?
“Is there a reason you’re staring at my chest in the dark?” he asks with a slight laugh.
“Sorry, just debating on where I want to start,” I say licking my lips.
“How about here?” he says pointing to his lips, then presses his lips to mine.
After what feels like hours kissing, I pull away, “Bedroom, now,” I demand.
I try to stand, but Nathan doesn’t give me the option. His lips are back on mine, and his arms are firmly around my waist keeping me in place.
I have no idea how he does it, but he stands with me still around his waist. I wrap my legs firmly around him and he walks us to his bedroom, his lips never leaving mine.
After he kicks the door shut, he leads us to the bed. I have no idea how he doesn’t knock anything over, but he doesn’t.
He slowly lays me on the bed with him planted firmly between my thighs. I can’t help but run my hands over his arms and his back feeling nothing but muscles.
Damn he’s built.
I lean forward to pull my shirt, but he beats me to it and pulls it over my head slowly. As he tosses the shirt, he somehow uses one hand and unhooks my bra. Wow, talk about a multi-tasker. I remove my arms from the bra and that goes sailing to the floor.
I try to reach down to unhook his pants, but he catches my hands and pins them above my head.
Pinning my hands with one of his, he uses the other to unbutton and unzip my jeans.
I let out a whimper. He’s holding me in place teasing my body and I want nothing more than to climb him like a monkey.
He takes a taut nipple into his mouth and lightly bites causing me to moan.
He starts licking and sucking hard on my erect nipples causing me to moan loudly. I wiggle beneath him trying to get closer.
He unpins my hands and moves to pull the jeans from my legs. I’m laying here in my pink thong, that’s soaked with want.
He takes his jeans off and they fall to the floor. He’s in nothing but a pair of boxer briefs that let little to the imagination.
I feel my mouth water just watching this beautiful man.
I reach down between our bodies pushing his underwear down to reveal his glorious erection.
I try to take him in my hand and feel the tip of his ever ready erection, surprised with running over something round.
“What’s that?” I ask nervously as I touch the ball again.
“A piercing,” he says in between kisses to my nipples, like it’s no big deal.
“You have your dick pierced?” I say louder than intended.
“Yeah,” he says as he brings his lips to meet mine again.
I have so many questions running through my head that I want to ask, but figure they’re probably better to ask at another time.
“I’m dying to taste you,” he says as he peels my thong off my body.
Just hearing him talk like that is driving me insane.
“Then what are you waiting for?” I say excitedly.
He wastes no time licking at my core. I move when I feel him enter me with two fingers, wanting him inside of me.
“Damn O, you’re so wet,” he says as he continues his assault with his tongue.
“Nathan, I want you inside of me now,” I argue.
He stops moving his mouth, his fingers, everything.
“O, I’ve waited for this moment for years, don’t rush me. I have ten years to make up for,” he says in a dark sexy tone.
“Ten years? We wouldn’t have had sex at nine silly.”
“You know what I mean. Patience sweetheart, patience,” he says as his fingers start sliding in and out of me, while his tongue starts to move at my core.
I grab his hair and lightly tug.
“Oh shit, yes, yes right there,” I moan, while holding his head in place.
My body is about to explode into a million different pieces.
His fingers start to move in a rhythm with his tongue and before I know it, he has me yelling out his name.
His lips attack mine again, allowing me to taste myself, turning me on even more.
“My turn,” I say, pushing him down towards the mattress, but he stops me.
“Not right now it’s not,” he states.
“I want to taste you,” I plead in a sexy voice.
“The first time I’m going to be inside of you will not be in your mouth,” he says giving me no option to argue.
He places himself between my legs and runs his pierced erection along my wet folds, causing me to moan some more.
Damn that thing feels good.
“You like that?” he asks confidently.
“Mmm hmm,” I murmur.
“Just wait until you feel it inside of you,” he says eagerly.
“No condom,” I say quickly, “I want to feel all of you inside of me.”
He nods his head. He positions himself at my entrance as he takes my nipples in his fingers and starts to tweak them while pushing slowing inside of me.
He slows down, allowing me to adjust to his size, before pushing further in.
<
br /> And damn, does that piercing feel fucking amazing.
Nathan comes to a sudden stop.
“What’s wrong?” I ask quickly.
“You feel fucking amazing. I don’t usually go bare, so you gotta give me a minute,” he says through labored breaths.
I lean up and grab his face and press my lips to his, not getting enough, never close enough.
After a few seconds he starts to move inside of me. I’m feeling things I’ve never experienced before. Him being skin to skin with me, being this close to him, feeling like he completes me.
He continues to thrust inside of me causing me to scream his name as I shatter into oblivion, with him following shortly after.
He falls beside me on his bed looking like he could pass out at any second.
“You’re on the pill right?” he asks shocking me.
“Yeah, why?”
“Just wanted to make sure because I did just go inside of you,” he says staring at me.
“Oh what…you don’t want any babies running around?” I ask with a laugh.
“With you I’d take a dozen, just not yet. Let’s get out of college first,” he says as he kisses my head.
“You would seriously want to have kids with me one day?” I ask stunned.
“O, I told you once we were together you’re mine. You.Are.Mine. I’m not letting you get away again,” he says as he pulls me tightly to his body, holding me.
“I’m not going anywhere,” I tell him as I kiss him on the lips.
He looks like he’s just about asleep before I ask, “You ready for round two?” I say with a giggle.
His eyes snap open, “As much as I would love to, I’m exhausted. Practice was a bitch today,” he says with sad eyes.
“Oh yeah, Chad mentioned that earlier. Another time then,” I say as I snuggle into his side.
“Babe, if you really want to, I will make it happen,” he says piercing me with his blue eyes.
“Maybe tomorrow, let’s get some sleep,” I say as I give him a kiss on the lips.
“Well, don’t be surprised if you wake up with me inside you.”
“That sounds like a great way to wake up,” I say with a smile.
“Mmm,” I moan in my sleep.
“Wake up sleepy head,” Nathan says with a laugh.
“Don’t tease,” I say through sleepy eyes.
I can feel his piercing rub along my wet folds.
“Not teasing, but I’m not giving you any until you wake up,” he says sounding serious.
“I’m awake, I promise, put him in,” I beg.
“Open your eyes beautiful,” he says sweetly.
“Not yet, but mmmm yeah keep doing that,” I plead.
“O, if you want any more, you have to open your beautiful green eyes,” he says sexily.
I slowly pry my sleep ridden eyes to see this gorgeous man smiling at me.
“That’s much better,” he says as he slowly enters me.
“Wait. I need to brush my teeth quick,” I tell him trying to move from underneath him.
He starts laughing, leans down and stops me from going anywhere. “Babe, you aren’t brushing anything right now. You might as well get used to it, because I’m going to be waking you up like this pretty often,” he says as he kisses my lips with pure enjoyment.
I can’t help but give into him. My body melts to him.
He kisses me passionately and possessively until we are both crying out in pleasure.
The next month and a half goes by and times were tough. Going home for Thanksgiving and Christmas break and not having Brynn was really hard.
Chad was having a hard time also, so we talked daily, multiple times even. Nathan has been nothing but supportive of me and his best friend. Trying to do whatever he could to make things not as painful.
It was sweet, but there’s nothing he can do, my best friend, Chad’s girlfriend is gone.
Our sorority house built a garden in remembrance of Brynn and also a collage of pictures of her and everyone important to her. It’s hung up for everyone to see. I smile every time I walk past, being surprised of all the different pictures and how they all show a happy, life of the party, laughing Brynn.
“Hey, you going to the game tonight?” Sophie asks from the closet.
Between school and attending all the home basketball games, life is busy. I have to attend all the home basketball games, because I don’t have a choice. If Nathan didn’t kill me for not showing up, Chad would.
“What do you think?” I say laughing.
“Oh duh, like you have a choice,” she says through a laugh, “we can head over together then.”
“You’re going to the game…who are you going to see?” I ask surprised. Sophie doesn’t usually attend basketball games.
“The team, silly,” she says avoiding the question.
“Nice try, who?”
“No one,” she says again.
“Is Caden going?” I ask.
“Nope, that’s over. I don’t want him anymore,” she says with a smile.
“Really? You were really into him, is everything okay?” I ask questioningly.
“Great actually. Now get ready so we can go,” she says hurrying me along.
I get ready because I’m already running late. I can drill her later.
Nathan’s team kicked ass, not surprised, they are really talented. They ended up winning the championship this year and I couldn’t be more excited for them. The guys worked their asses off to get to the championship and bringing home the win was amazing.
Epilogue
Two and a half years later
“Are you ready?” Sophie asks excitedly.
“Absolutely,” I tell her as I stare at myself in the mirror.
“Aww sweetie, you look beautiful,” mom says as she enters the room.
“Thanks mom.”
“And I must say your groom looks very handsome, and a little nervous,” she says with a giggle.
“Why would he be nervous?” I ask suddenly worried.
“Because you could always choose to run out instead of walking down the aisle,” Sophie laughs.
“True,” I say with a laugh, “But I would never do that.”
“Oh, I think we all know that sweetie. He’s had your heart since you were a little girl,” my mom says sweetly.
“That he has,” I say, admiring how I look in my wedding dress.
“Time to go honey,” dad says walking up behind me, “You sure do look beautiful.”
“Thanks dad,” I say giving him the biggest smile ever.
We head down the church hall and wait our turn to walk down the aisle, towards my future.
Megan walks down the aisle first, followed by Sophie, who is my maid of honor. I just wanted something small and intimate for today.
The music starts, which is my cue. My dad gives my hand a gentle squeeze before making the long walk down the aisle.
I smile and look at our families on both sides of the alter feeling happy and excited. I can feel his eyes on me, but I keep waiting to look at him, knowing when I do I may tear up.
I look at my bridesmaids and see the picture of Brynn with a white rose lying in front, even though she may not be here in form, she is with me in spirit.
And then I turn my focus on him, my groom, my happily ever after. He’s standing tall in his black suit with crisp white dress shirt, with a clover green tie, matching my girls’ dresses.
I wanted to go with blue so it could make his eyes stand out even more, he wanted green so they could go with my eyes; you hear who won that discussion.
Along-side my handsome groom, is his brother Nevin, who has been in remission for almost three years now, and then you have Chad beside him. All three of the boys look amazing.
When my dad finally passes my hand to Nathan, I can’t help but stare at his beautiful face. This man who was once my best friend, then who almost hated me for a misunderstanding, is now about to be my husband.
&nbs
p; I always knew he was my soul mate, I’m just glad he realized it to.
At the reception, I can’t help but giggle with the girls on how the guys all look on the dance floor.
“Oh wife of mine, it’s time we dance,” Nathan says, grabbing my hands and pulling me to the dance floor.
“I love the sound of that,” I tell him excitedly.
“Sound of what?” he asks confused.
“You calling me your wife,” I say with a giggle.
“You are my wife, now and forever,” he says before he firmly plants his lips on mine.
“You two can save that for later,” Chad says making us break up to watch as he’s twirls Casey around the dance floor.
Chad’s been seeing Casey for about six months now and though he still has rough times with having a relationship, it’s getting easier every day. Casey is really good for him and I think Brynn would approve.
“He’s got a point bro,” Nevin says, as he holds Sophie close.
“What’s up with you two?” I ask, calling them out. They’ve been hanging out constantly and they get along great. I think Sophie would be great with Nevin.
“We’re dancing, what’s it look like?” Nevin asks, being a punk. Sophie just laughs and shakes her head.
“You know that’s not what she meant,” Nathan says staring at his brother.
“You might as well tell us, because if not, Sophie will and then I’ll tell my husband anyway, so spill,” I tell him.
He looks at Sophie and then back to me and his brother before opening his mouth.
“Damn this family is so nosey, we’re dating, not that it’s any of your business,” he says with a smile, showing he’s only kidding.
Then I watch as he leans down and kisses Sophie on the mouth for everyone to see. Now, that’s a way to tell the rest of the family.
“That looks like an excellent idea,” Nathan says before he swoops down and takes my lips to his, “and later we can start on the baby making process.”
“We just got married, you want a baby already,” I ask, pulling back surprised.
“Well, I mean the baby won’t be here for nine or ten months, so yeah, I’m good with that. Plus, we can practice all the time,” he says with a wink.
“I’m pretty sure we already practice all the time,” I say smugly.
