Destined

by Heather D'Agostino

  Her hips rocked across my lap, and I could feel my dick hardening in my shorts. If I didn’t get her off my lap soon, we wouldn’t be leaving for a quite some time. “Leah?” I panted as I pulled away from the kiss. Her eyes widened as an uncertainty filled them. “If you want to leave, we need to stop. I’m not going to be able to get up like this,” I pointed to my lap and watched embarrassment spread across her features.

  Without saying a word, she pulled out her phone, texted Avery that she was leaving, and then jumped down to climb into the cab of my truck. She grinned back at me, offering a saucy smile, “Coming?”

  “Oh yeah,” I snickered. “I’m coming alright.”

  “You’re terrible,” she blushed and looked away just as I climbed in and cranked the engine.

  “You sure about this?” I reached over and placed my hand on her knee causing her to jolt. “We can wait.”

  “I’m sure,” she shivered as I moved my hand higher on her thigh.

  Without another word, I put the truck in drive, pulled out onto the road, and began heading toward her house. I wasn’t sure if going there was a good idea, but Leah seemed to think it was. I could feel my erection throbbing as she reached across the seat and grabbed it, squeezing lightly. I released a groan before shooting her a look.

  “You need to stop,” I warned “or I’ll pull over and we’ll do it right here.”

  She yanked her hand back and gasped before giggling. I wasn’t sure what had gotten into her, but I liked it. I liked it a lot, and I was interested in seeing where this night was going to take us and how things were going to change.

  Chapter 8

  Nick

  The closer we got to Leah’s house, the more nervous she seemed. I was beginning to worry that she was pressuring herself into this…that she truly didn’t want it as badly as she wanted me to think.

  “Are you ok?” I glanced at her before turning my eyes back toward the road.

  She nodded and crossed her arms over her chest, “Yeah. Park down the street, ok?”

  “Ok,” I bobbed my head slowly. “Are you sure no one’s home?”

  “There’s a big party tonight. Dad’s been getting ready for it all day. Mom went in to help him. We’re good for now, but I don’t know how long…” she trailed off.

  “I don’t understand,” I furrowed my brow. “How long? You mean how long they’ll be gone?”

  “No,” she bit down on the inside of her cheek, and shook her head. “How long you’ll,” her face reddened, and I turned to look at her just as I pulled over and parked on the side of the street.

  “How long I’ll…stay?” I reached up and gripped the back of my neck. “Do you think I’m just gonna do it and leave?”

  “Yes, no, maybe…I’m don’t know what I think,” she murmured.

  I shoved open my door and raced around to her side. When I got there, I wrenched her door open, helped her out, and then flattened her against the side of the truck. “We’re both supposed to enjoy this. It’s not just about me,” I whispered as I pressed my hips against hers, pinning her there. “I love you.” I leaned closer, “and I want this to be good for you, too.”

  She nodded, “I’m just nervous.”

  “Don’t be,” I pecked her lips. “We don’t have to do anything. I don’t want you to make this decision for me. Do it because you want to.”

  Her lips curved into a smile, “I want to. Come on,” she laced her fingers with mine and led me toward the side of her house.

  “Um, “I looked at her confused as to why we were standing in the side yard. “The door’s that way,” I pointed toward the front steps.

  “You have to come in this way,” she pointed at a large oak tree. “Avery comes in this way, so I know you can do it.”

  “You want me to climb a tree to get to your room?” I ran my hand through my hair. “What are we…twelve?”

  “Well, no one’s here now, but I’m sure they will be other times,” she giggled. “It’s good practice. Besides…that’s how you’re going to have to leave tonight.”

  “Are you serious? We should have gone to my house. My mom doesn’t care, and she isn’t home,” I groaned.

  “Nick,” she stuck her lip out in a pout. “Don’t you want to?” The hand that wasn’t holding mine swung forward and brushed over my semi-hard cock. He twitched at the contact and I hissed. Leah’s alternating emotions were killing me tonight. One minute she was this nervous virgin that questioned everything, and the next she was rubbing all over me like some sex kitten. I wasn’t sure which one was real, but I had a feeling the sex kitten was all an act and the nervous virgin was who was truly with me tonight.

  “Fine,” I sighed. “Go on in, and unlock your window. I’ll be up in a minute.”

  She grinned at me before taking off for the front door and laughing. I watched for minute before I moved over to the tree I was going to have to scale. I hadn’t climbed a tree since I was a little kid, and as I tipped my head back to figure out the best route, I couldn’t help but laugh. It was a good thing I hadn’t been drinking or this climb would have been impossible.

  “Come on!” I heard her shout from above me. “If Avery can get up here, I know the almighty Nick Sutter can.”

  “Are you trying to make me feel bad?” I teased as I reached up to grip the lowest branch.

  “No,” she giggled before tucking her head back in the window.

  I sighed and then swung my body in the air to wrap my leg around the trunk. The tree was huge and didn’t even sway under my weight. As I moved higher and higher, the climb didn’t seem so daunting and when I reached her window, I was rewarded with a shy smile.

  “You made it,” she grinned as she stepped back to let me in.

  “Yep,” I popped the P before ducking inside her room and glancing around. “So this is it, huh?

  “Yeah…this is it,” Leah mumbled as she began pacing around.

  She shuffled over to where her door was and closed it. When I heard the lock click, I swallowed nervously. As much as I wanted this to happen, I wasn’t sure if I was ready now. We’d been waiting for almost a year and Leah had been putting me off the last several times that I tried to get us to this point.

  “What now?” she whispered as she moved to stand in front of me. “I don’t…” I cut her off by pressing my mouth to hers. She gasped slightly, but soon relaxed into the kiss.

  I could feel her body melting against mine as I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her flush against me. “There’s not a right or wrong way,” I whispered against her lips. “Relax,” I slanted my head, deepened the kiss, and felt her shiver against me. This was it. She was actually letting this happen.

  Before I could think better of it, I trailed my hands down her sides and went to work removing the plaid shirt she was wearing. When it hit the floor, I reached for her hands, and placed them on my waist. I was hoping she’d take the hint and undress me, but she just stood there…frozen.

  ooooooooo

  Leah

  I wasn’t sure what he wanted. He didn’t say anything; he just kept rubbing his hands over my body, and kissing me. Each kiss was getting a little more frantic and a little deeper. I was sure that he was slowly taking every bit of breath I had.

  “Your turn,” he murmured as he moved my hands to his waist.

  I shook my head and pulled back, “I can’t.”

  “Yes, you can,” Nick reached behind his neck, grabbed his t-shirt, ripping it over his head. He tossed it somewhere on the floor and then reached for the snap on my shorts. “Are you really sure about this?” He pressed a kiss to my bare shoulder. “We can wait. Really,” the whine of the zipper on my shorts made me jump slightly.

  “Keep going,” I reached for his belt buckle and fumbled. A nervous giggle escaped at the same time Nick muttered, “Damn.”

  “What?” I had forgotten about the sexy thong I was wearing, but Nick had just discovered it. “I forgot about that,” I teased.

  “That’s a go
od thing. I probably wouldn’t have stayed at the party as long as I had if I had known that this is what you were hiding under there,” he leaned back to appraise me and slowly lifted the cami up over my head. “Beautiful,” he whispered as he leaned in to kiss me once again.

  After trying, and failing to get his pants loose, Nick finally helped me out and removed them himself. We stood there for a minute just kissing, dressed in only our underwear. We’d gotten here before, but the last time we were in his truck, and I’d stopped us.

  “Come here,” he reached for my hand and led me over to my bed. “Sit down,” he coaxed me to the edge and then sat beside me. “You know we don’t have to do this if you aren’t ready?”

  I nodded and then lifted myself up onto my knees. I leaned in and crashed my mouth to his, plunging my tongue in at the same time. Nick fell backwards totally caught off guard. He groaned as he wrapped his arms around my middle. We laid like that for a few moments just exploring each other’s bodies. It was intoxicating, and while a part of me was nervous as hell, another part of me was yearning for him. The two sides were battling it out in my brain. As much as I wanted this, the scared voice was beginning to win out. It was getting louder and louder the more Nick touched me.

  He rolled me to my back and covered me with his body. I could feel every warm, hard muscle as it pressed against me. His cock was throbbing as it rubbed my thigh, and when he moved a certain way, I could feel it press against my center like it knew what was coming. Panic began set in, and breathing became more difficult. My body stiffened and I began gasping for air.

  “Stop! Stop! Stop!” I panted as I pressed against Nick’s chest.

  He recoiled and froze, “Are you ok?”

  I could feel the tears coming and I turned so that my back was to him. I didn’t want to cry in front of him, but I knew if I saw the look he’d just given me again, that’s exactly what would happen.

  “Leah?” he reached out and touched my arm.

  I shook my head and pressed my lips together as my throat tightened.

  “Leah? It’s ok,” his voice was soft and sweet.

  “No, no it’s not. I’m sorry,” I whimpered.

  “There’s nothing to be sorry about,” he tugged on my shoulder as if he wanted me to turn around. “You’re not ready,” he sighed. “You’re forcing this and you’re not ready.”

  “But I wanna be,” I whimpered. “I wanna be so badly,” I threw myself into his arms and began sobbing.

  “Shhhh,” he rubbed my back as he wrapped himself around me. “We’ll get there.”

  “You’re not mad?” I looked up at him and where I thought I’d see anger, I only saw understanding.

  He shook his head and pressed a kiss to my temple, “No. I’d be mad if you didn’t stop us when you knew you weren’t ready.”

  “But I thought…” I trailed off. I knew what his reputation was. I knew that he could be with anyone he wanted.

  “I love you,” he narrowed his eyes on me. “I love you, and I’ll wait as long as it takes…I promise. You’re worth it,” he placed a kiss on my lips. “I’m not going anywhere, so stop thinking that.”

  “I’m sorry,” I blew out a deep breath.

  “Relax. It’s ok,” he leaned back and smiled at me. “Why don’t we get dressed, go downstairs, and watch a movie? Your parents will be ok with that, right?”

  “Yeah,” I gave him a half smile. “They’ll be ok with that.”

  “Alright, come on,” he stood and reached for my hand to help me up. “Get your clothes and let’s go downstairs,” he grinned as he fastened his pants and began tugging his shirt over his head. “Hey, Leah,” he turned to face me as he stood in my doorway.

  “Yeah?” I fidgeted with my hands as my embarrassment began to fade.

  “I’m willing to wait forever,” he winked. “But please don’t make me.”

  I shook my head at him and laughed.

  “There’s my girl,” he smirked. “I’m glad I got her back. Now, let’s go downstairs.”

  “Sounds like a plan,” I quickly nodded before following him down to the family room.

  As we sank down onto the couch, I couldn’t help but play the last hour over in my head. Would I ever be ready? Would Nick really wait forever for me? I chewed my lip as I thought about these things all the while taking short glances over at the man beside me. He wasn’t anything like I thought he would be. The Nick Sutter that I’d heard so much about before we met was not the type to wait for a girl. The Old Nick would have kept going, but this newer version was like nothing I’d ever seen. I didn’t know how much he truly loved me at the time, and by the time I found out…it was too late.

  Chapter 9

  Nick

  “So, are you sure her parents are going to let her come?” Cam tossed another bag into the back of my truck. “I mean…her dad doesn’t seem like the type to let his seventeen year old daughter go camping with her boyfriend.”

  “She asked him last week, and he told her yes,” I rolled my eyes as I checked our supplies one last time. We had decided to put all our things in my truck, and then Avery was going to drive everyone else in her car. “Her parents trust us. We haven’t done anything to break that trust. Besides,” I grinned at him “they like me.”

  “They like you now,” he smirked “but wait ‘til they find out you’re banging their daughter.”

  I glared at him, “Watch it!”

  “Hey,” Cam lifted his arms in front of himself “at least you’re getting some.”

  I ignored him as I continued to look over everything. We had tents, a camp stove, firewood, a cooler, beer, jugs for water, and all sorts of other crap that the girls insisted that we bring.

  “You are getting some…right?” Cam chuckled.

  “That’s none of your of business,” I grumbled.

  “Oh shit! You’re not! Holy shit,” he pointed at me and laughed. “She hasn’t given it up, yet!”

  “Do you want to live to see tomorrow?” I glared at him.

  “Dude,” he slowly backed away as he fought to hold his laughter in. “I knew something was wrong. You need to take care of that; it’s messing with your head.”

  I growled as I lifted the tailgate and slammed it shut, “Who are you going to be sharing a tent with this weekend?” I paused and tapped my finger on my chin, “Oh that’s right…no one.”

  “You’re an asshole, and for your information, I invited someone,” he smirked as he rounded the truck and climbed in the passenger side.

  “Oh yeah?” I got in and cranked the engine. “Who?”

  “Sarah,” he grinned.

  “You mean the new girl?” I backed out of my driveway and began driving toward Leah’s house. We were all going to meet up there.

  “Yeah,” he snickered. “I don’t think she knows my reputation, yet. I ran into her last week at the store. I asked her if she wanted to come; she said, sure,” he shrugged.

  “So let me get this straight,” I sighed as I used my free hand to pinch the bridge of my nose “Sarah Ayers agreed to go on an overnight trip with you, someone she’s only known a few weeks?”

  “It’s great isn’t it?” he chuckled. “I’m getting laid this weekend,” he shoved me in the shoulder just as I pulled into Leah’s driveway.

  “I don’t know if I’d want someone that was that willing,” I mumbled.

  “What?” Cam gasped. “She really has changed you. You never would have said this if you hadn’t started dating her.”

  “So let me ask you this,” I turned to stare at him. “What about Avery?”

  “What about her?” he shrugged.

  “I thought you two had something going on. She’s always with you and you two act like you’re married sometimes.”

  “She sees me as a brother, nothing more,” he slowly shook his head.

  “Do you like her?” I glanced at him before turning to open my door.

  “Doesn’t matter,” Cam muttered as he climbed out.

&nb
sp; “Hey, hot stuff,” Leah giggled as she came running up to me. “Our bags are all piled over by Avery’s car if you guys want to put them in the back of the truck.”

  “Ok,” I looked over at where Cam was standing. “Wanna help me with that?” I pointed at the pile of luggage.

  “Not really,” he groaned.

  “I’ll help.” To my surprise, Logan rounded the corner.

  “Hey,” I wrinkled my forehead. “What are you doing here?”

  “He’s with me,” Avery chimed in.

  “Yeah,” he smirked. “I’m with her.”

  I looked over to where my brother was standing and we made eye contact. The look on his face was one I’d never seen before. It was so obvious that he liked her. He had brought Sarah because he wanted her; he’d brought her because Logan was coming. He wanted Avery to see that he could have someone else if he wanted to.

  “Well, if everyone’s ready, help me put this in the back and we can head out. That way we can set up camp before it gets too dark,” I pointed at the pile of bags. One-by-one, Logan and Cam grabbed the luggage and piled it in, and before we knew it, we were ready to head out.

  “I’m gonna ride with Nick,” Leah shouted as she raced over to the passenger door of my truck and shoved my brother out of the way.

  “Um, where am I supposed to ride, then?” he glared at her.

  “In the backseat with the girl you invited that none of us knows,” Leah rolled her eyes. “Logan can sit up front.”

  “Ooookay,” he sighed as he shuffled towards Avery’s car. “I guess I’ll see you there,” he shot over his shoulder at me.

  I looked between him and my girl, “Yep, see you there.”

  “Thanks,” I grinned at her as I buckled my seatbelt. “I didn’t really want to ride with him anyway.”
