Heal Me (Magnolia Series Book 2)

  “Oh my God,” she gasps, her hand going up to cover her gaping mouth.

  Ellie giggles. “He’s something to see, isn’t he?”

  “Yes, ma’am, but so are you. Y’all have got to be the prettiest things I’ve ever seen!”

  “Aww, that’s so sweet of you! Thank you. This amazing man is giving me the prom I never had growing up. Isn’t that the most perfect thing ever?” she gushes.

  “Yes, ma’am, it sure is,” the awe-struck girl gushes right back.

  “We’re upstairs, right?” I ask, gently moving them along. We’ll be making a scene soon. There’s already people staring at us from the kitchen.

  “Oh, my goodness, I’m so sorry! Yes, sir, y’all are upstairs. Right this way, please,” she apologizes and leads us up the stairs.

  Ellie scowls at me with worry as I use the handrails to hop up the steps, but thankfully lets me go. We get to the top, go down a short hallway and then enter the front room.

  “Oh, Nik! It’s so perfect.”

  She’s staring around the room, eyes wide and misty. It does look great. They’ve strung twinkle light from the ceiling the whole ceiling. There’s so many, they’re the only source of light. Our table is set by a large window overlooking the street, and there’s soft music playing. It very small and intimate. Like she said, perfect.

  I get her over to the table and help her sit down, then sit myself. Our waitress immediately pipes up, putting on her manners. “My name is Allie and I’m honored to serve you tonight. I’m gonna let you look over the menu a few minutes while I go get you some bread. Y’all are top priority tonight so please, order anything you want, even if it’s not on the menu.”

  “Thank you, Allie,” Ellie beams at her, making the girl blush. “Isn’t she adorable?” she coos once Allie’s hurried away.

  “You are,” I whisper, leaning over and brushing the backs of my fingers over her cheek.

  “Stop. You’ll make me cry and Leia will have a fit,” she fusses, trying not to do exactly that.

  I take her hand in mine and kiss her fingers. “I love seeing you so happy, Bird.”

  “I love you for making me so happy. We’ve barely started, but this is already one of the best nights of my life. Thank you,” she finishes in a choked whisper.

  “The pleasure is most definitely mine,” I tell her kissing her hand again. “I’m starving, let’s figure out what we want to eat.”

  Allie came back and Ellie ordered a filet mignon with a twice baked potato and a salad. I got the grilled pork tenderloin with a sweet potato and mac-n-cheese. We decided to sample each other’s choices once they got here.

  We have a few minutes and the music’s right so I stand up and hold my hand out to her. “Dance with me? I need a refresher course before we get there,” I confess with a smile

  “I’d love to,” she says sweetly, taking my hand. “But only one, I don’t want to wear your leg out before we even get there.”

  “I took it easy yesterday and today, I’ll be fine. I’ll take a pain pill if I need one. I promise I won’t let anything spoil our night,” I assure her, pulling her close and kissing her forehead. She puts one hand on my shoulder and I hold her other one between us and we slowly sway and spin around the room, her head on my chest, mine resting on hers.

  When the song changes to another she stops and looks up at me. “I love you so much, Nik. You’re too wonderful for words.”

  “I love you more. I’m gonna kiss you now, Leia’s not here to yell at us and I’ve been dying to do it since I saw you on those stairs,” I whisper against her lips.

  She smiles against mine and whispers, “It’s about time, I was beginning to think you never would.”

  AIN’T NOBODY

  Ellie

  A gasp and feet running down the hall finally pull our lips apart. I have no idea what I look like, but Nik is now wearing my lipstick and a serious case of sex hair.

  I grab a napkin off the table and dip it in some water, then try to remove the red stains all over his mouth. “Fix your hair and then fix mine if you messed it up,” I attempt to scold him. My giggles work against me. His sexy smirk isn’t helping either.

  He wipes his thumb across my bottom lip to the corner of my mouth which only makes the tingling in my stomach settle into a dangerously low place. “You look sexy as hell all mussed up. I could go lock the door. We can be late to our own party, right?” he purrs, using his best sexy voice and eyes on me.

  I barely hold back the shiver that wants to run down my spine. I’ve wanted to jump him since the moment I laid eyes on him leaning against that limo. Now he’s standing over me, tall, sturdy, and handsome as hell. Every nerve in my body is screaming, ‘Yes, Yes, Yes!’

  My brain keeps me in control, but just barely.

  “After,” I breathe out. “All night if you want to. Just think about how hot and bothered we’re both gonna be. How wet I’ll be for you.”

  If he can tease me, I can tease him, right?

  His eyes turn to liquid cobalt and I feel his chest rumble under my hand. “You’re killing me, woman.”

  I smile up at him wickedly, running my finger down the side of his face then his chest. “You love it.”

  “Yes, I do,” he smiles, his eyes still holding their spark.

  “Come on, let’s sit down so poor Allie can come in.” I say, taking his hand and pulling him back to the table.

  We sit and wait a few minutes for her to find her nerve, but I finally have to call out to her that’s it’s safe. She’s as red as a beet when she comes in, poor thing. I can see by the glint in his eyes, Nik wants to tease her, but he behaves himself. She serves us salads and bread, then tops off our drinks before scurrying away again.

  I try to pry details out of him about tonight just like I have the last two days as we start to eat. He’s as tight lipped as ever, the turd. All I get is a knowing smile so sweet and sexy it could melt butter and make old ladies faint.

  He’ll be lucky if I don’t pull him into a broom closet and attack him before we make it home. I can imagine us, me with my face and hands pressed against the wall, my skirt pulled up and rumpled between us. His pants around his ankles, his breath blowing hot into my ear as he takes me from behind, hard and fast.

  “I’m doing my best to be a gentleman, Bird, but if you keep looking at me like that – with those fuck-me eyes – I’m going to bend you over this table and do just that until you scream.”

  The tea I just filled my mouth with sprays all over my salad and the table. My nose burns like I snorted fire and I can’t seem to get any air in my lungs. Nik takes my glass and slams it down, sloshing tea everywhere, then is raising one of my arms up over my head. “Arms up. You gotta breathe for me.”

  Through my watery eyes I can see the smirk on his face. Damn him and his sexy self. My coughing and gasping turn into a fit of giggles and he laughs right along with me, taking a napkin and dabbing at my tears. And just like that he’s went from setting me on fire to melting my heart.

  I grab his hand and press his knuckles to my lips, closing my eyes to keep the real tears from falling. His hand slips from mine, then his warm palm is cupping my cheek. “You all right?”

  “I’m perfect,” I promise, giving him a smile even if it is teary. “I just love you so much. I’ll probably be on the verge of tears all night, so get used to it.”

  “As long as they’re happy tears.”

  “Oh, they will be.”

  He slides his fingers around the back of my neck and tugs me towards him, his lips kissing mine several times so soft and sweet I’m tingling all over again. “I love you too, by the way.”

  Thank God Allie clears her throat right then because I was a second away from jumping up and locking the door.

  Our dinner has arrived and it looks delicious so we dig in as soon as she leaves. My steak nearly melts in my mouth it’s so tender. Nik’s mac-n-cheese is to die for. He’s a sweetheart and lets me eat half of it. Before I
know it, we’re finished and it’s time to go. Butterflies fill my stomach and my heart starts skipping as he leads me to the limo.

  “So, how’d I do with dinner?” he asks, once we’re settled in and the driver takes off.

  “You did perfect. I loved it, baby. Everything has just been amazing so far. Thank you. I don’t know how I’m ever gonna be able to do anything for you to beat it.” I give him a big smacking kiss on the lips, which makes him laugh.

  “I don’t need anything but you, every day and every night,” he whispers, rubbing my fingers with his thumb.

  My throat swells and my eyes fill with tears for what seems like the hundredth time tonight. All I manage is a wobbly smile.

  He takes it and gives me one back and a kiss to my fingers too. “I can’t wait for you to see everything. You’re gonna be bouncing around and squealing like a teenage girl.”

  “Haven’t I been acting like one already?” I giggle.

  “Yeah, I guess you have, but I think you may go to a whole new level when you see what Leia’s done. She didn’t spill any secrets today, did she?”

  “No, she was tight lipped for sure. I tried to get her to spill, but she refused. She helped me pick some songs to add to the playlist though. Leia has her moments, but deep down she’s a sweetheart. Don’t you dare tell her I told you that,” I warn, shaking my finger at him. She’d never speak to me again.

  He winks. “It’ll be our little secret.”

  “Good boy. Is it far away? How long till we get there?”

  He laughs at my excitement. “Only a few minutes. It’s just five or six blocks from here. Hopefully traffic won’t hold us up.”

  “Yay! How’s the leg?” I ask. I try not to ask how he’s feeling too often, because he gets tired of it, but sometimes I can’t keep quiet. We have a strenuous night ahead of us and I’m a bundle of excited nerves.

  He squeezes my hand, his ocean eyes soft and indulgent. “It’s good, Bird. I promise I won’t push it. I have plans to do much more than dancing tonight,” he purrs, his eyebrows jumping.

  “Mmmmm, I can’t wait,” I coo back, leaning over and kissing up his delicious neck. While Leia may be perturbed my lipstick didn’t survive dinner, I’m glad it didn’t. I can kiss him anywhere I want now.

  When I make it to his lips things get pretty heated, pretty quick. I’m sucking and nibbling on his bottom lip when I hear a loud beep. “What was that?”

  “Me extending our ride,” he breathes out, his lips tugging on mine as one of his big hands finds its way under my skirt.

  “Why’d you do that?” I ask, pulling away to look at him.

  His left hand is sliding up my thigh dangerously close to discovering a secret I was planning on keeping till a little later. He grips the back of my neck with the other, pulling my lips back to his. “I just told you I had plans for more than dancing and you’re wound too tight. I thought I could relax you a little before we got there,” he murmurs between kisses.

  “I thought we agreed not till after,” I sigh as he kisses along my jaw.

  “You didn’t specify which after, now did you?”

  “No, I guess I didn’t, but he’ll hear us,” I protest weakly. The thought of getting caught by our driver is more exciting than I ever expected. That and Nik’s lips and tongue working their magic on my neck leave me defenseless.

  “It’s soundproof,” he whispers as his fingers find my throbbing center, naked and already very wet. A deep growl rumbles from his chest. “Where are your panties, naughty girl?”

  My secret found out, I open my legs to give him easier access. No sense in wasting a perfect opportunity. I moan when his long fingers begin to slide softly up and down my slit. “You told me not long ago I could never wear them again,” I gasp, my hips rocking against his hand. I’ve been aching for him for hours already.

  He uses the pad of one finger to slowly circle my clit, his warm lips nibbling on my neck as he groans. “Fuck, you are so wet. Have you been like this for me all day, Ellie?”

  “Yes,” I breathe out. I really have. It’s ridiculous what this man does to me. He’s turned me into a cat in a constant state of heat.

  It’s shameful, but I couldn’t give two shits.

  Or even one for that matter.

  He groans then his lips crash into mine, hot and needy. I return his kiss and reach over to rub him too. I find him rock solid behind his thin suit pants. His hips rise, pressing his erection into my palm. My walls clench, knowing very well how good he feels inside them. I want to rip those pants off and impale myself on his hard length.

  I wrap my fingers around him as much as the annoying fabric allows me, gripping and stroking him. His hips rock against me for a few beats then his fingers are wrapped around my wrist like steel bands, pulling me away.

  I whine. He groans again.

  “This is all about you, I’ll get mine later,” he says, his voice strained. He presses his fingers against me a little more, still sliding them through my lips. “But maybe I should punish you for teasing me? Or reward you? We’ve got less than ten minutes. We can see how many I can get out of you or maybe see how long I can hold you on the edge. What are gonna do if I don’t let you come, Ellie?”

  A strangled whimper is all I can manage for a response. I’m helpless when he gets like this. We’ve never gotten serious about it, but dominant Nik sets me on fire and he knows it too.

  He chuckles deeply, his finger moving so slow it’s maddening, but oh so perfect. “I’d love to leave you a desperate mess and have you begging me all night, but I think you’ve gotten yourself there already. I’ll let you have one. It is your night after all,” he murmurs, his warm breath ghosting across my cheek. Then he slides two long fingers inside me.

  “Oh God,” I pant, my eyes rolling back and my hips tilting to take them even deeper.

  His quiet laughter blows into my ear like gusts of hot summer air. “Thanks for the compliment, but I don’t think I’m that good.” Those delicious fingers are still sliding in and out of my aching heat, slow and steady.

  “Yes, you are,” I moan, my walls squeezing his digits for all they’re worth.

  He pulls back, taking away what I want most, to rub slow, heavy circles over my swollen lips with all four fingers. “Not too fast. We’ve got time. Slow down and enjoy it, beautiful,” he purrs, his lips gliding over the shell of my ear.

  “Nik, please. You said you wouldn’t make me beg,” I pout, as I dip and twist my hips, hoping to convince him to slide his fingers back where I want them.

  Instead they leave me altogether making me whine. “I said I wouldn’t make you beg all night.” Then there’s a quick, stinging pop to my wet, aching flesh.

  “Nik!” I gasp, my eyes flying open to lock with his. I can’t believe he just did that. And I really can’t believe that it actually felt good. Really good.

  “Mmmmm, you liked that, didn’t you?” he asks, his eyes dark enough to get lost in.

  I can only whimper. The stinging has turned into this deep wonderful tingling, like there’s champagne bubbles trapped under my sensitive skin. Another whimper escapes me as my hips rock of their own accord, desperate to keep the sensation going.

  He presses his fingers back over me firmly, sliding them around and around and around. The ache, the pressure. So close. I’m moaning. My head falls back against the seat and all my muscles tighten. My hips rise, my legs shake.

  “Are you going to come for me?” he asks, his voice dark and slithering up my spine, making it tingle while his fingers center on my clit, circling faster and faster.

  Then I do. I shatter into a million beautiful pieces for him. His fingers slide deep into my pulsing core, pulling me to a new, even higher peak. I scream out his name over and over. I’ll let myself be embarrassed later, right now I’m going to enjoy everything this perfect man is doing to me.

  He massages my walls gently, bringing me back down to earth. Then he slides his fingers out and runs them over my swollen lips. I
shudder every time he glides over my sensitive clit. Finally, I collapse into the seat again, a panting, but very satisfied woman.

  I turn my head and smile at his proud expression. He’s so happy with himself. He brings his hand to his mouth and sucks his fingers clean with a groan.

  “You are so bad.”

  His smirk would melt my panties if I was wearing any. “You love it when I’m bad,” he purrs, leaning over and kissing me thoroughly, letting me taste myself.

  “Yes, I do,” I sigh, reaching over and rubbing him through his pants. He’s still rock hard. “Now it’s my turn to be bad. Let me return the favor.”

  He lets out a small groan and I can see I’ve won the war in his pretty blue eyes. Not that it was really a war, barely even a skirmish actually. I think I could get him to do absolutely anything with the promise of a blow job. He’s putty in my hands, well, mouth really.

  I slide off the seat and kneel between his legs, thankful for the extra space this limo gives us. I get his pants undone and he lifts his hips so I can pull them down enough to free him. Two tugs and his impressive cock is standing proud and begging for attention.

  Guess I’m not the only one who went commando.

  I raise an eyebrow. “Looks like we both had ideas for tonight, mmm?”

  “You know what they say about great minds,” he says with a sly smirk.

  I smile back. “Yes, I do,” I purr, leaning closer to run my tongue slowly up his length. I love how silky smooth and hot he is.

  He hisses, his eyes dilating and hips rising up, searching for more.

  “How much time do I have?” I ask, wrapping my hand around him and pumping while blowing cool air over his moist tip before circling it with my tongue. I love his taste too.

  Those dark blue orbs disappear behind heavy lids and his head falls back as he fumbles for the button he pushed earlier. He finds it right when I swirl my tongue over him and suck his head into my mouth for the first time and start to slowly bob.
