“You’re not hurt anywhere else?” Flynn is the one to ask which surprises me as Owen normally takes the lead in this type of situation.
“No, other than the pinch from when they injected me with the sedative, I don’t think I was harmed. At least not until he hit me. Can I go home? I really just want to go home now.” I ask Kyle the last part and he nods as my answer.
“We’ll wrap things up here and the detective knows how to contact you if they need anything else.” Owen tells us. Kyle and I walk with our arms around each other’s waist to his Tahoe and he opens the passenger door for me. Before I get in Kyle turns me so I’m facing him.
“Whose house do you want to go to, Nor?” Kyle’s voice is soft and it nearly makes the tears I’m holding back, spill from my eyes.
“Yours, Ironman. I need to be with you right now, I need my rock.” I turn and get in the seat then buckle up. Kyle closes my door and tells the guys something before he goes around to the driver’s side and starts it up after he’s in his seat and buckled himself. The drive to his house is silent, with both of us lost in our thoughts.
20 The Next Step
Work Song by Hozier
Kyle pushes the button to make his garage door open, timing it just right so we don’t have to stop and we can just roll in. None of the others followed us to Kyle’s house, which is a relief as I just want to be with Kyle tonight. He puts it in park before turning the engine off and closing the garage door so we’re encased in darkness. We both just sit there in the silence.
“I feel dirty, I’m going to take a bath.” I don’t want any part of the memory of Jason’s touch on me. Opening my door and getting out, I don’t wait for a reply. I hear Kyle’s door slam shut but with this urge to get rid of Jason’s touch, I don’t stop or look back. Moving through the kitchen and then the living room I enter Kyle’s master bedroom and flick the light switch on. I go to the chest of drawers and grab one of his tees, and then in one of the drawers with my stuff I grab a pair of underwear. Turning on my heel I open the bathroom door and turn the light on as I dump the clothes on the sink counter. I quickly undress and enter the shower, turning on the water as hot as I can stand it. I step under the spray and just let it wash over me for a few minutes.
“Nora, do you need anything?” Kyle calls into the shower. I take a moment to cement my decision before I answer him.
With my back to the shower entrance I shut my eyes and say, “Yes, I need you.” He doesn’t say anything in response and I’m not sure he’s going to when his big masculine frame is behind me. He’s still got his clothes on and they’re soaked through in no time.
“What do you need from me, Nor?” Even with the water as hot as I’ve got it, I can feel his heat behind me. I don’t have the courage to tell him what I need so, I decide to show him instead. I turn around and put both my hands on his shoulders then run them along the sides of his neck to just under his pronounced jaw line. His facial hair has grown out and I love the spiky feeling of it against my palms. Going up on my toes, I touch my lips to his. Kyle puts his hands over mine and pulls them down to rest them on his chest. He looks into my eyes searching them.
“Nora, you don’t have to do this. I don’t want this to happen as some sort of way for you to block out what happened today. I’m not okay with being that for you. When this happens between us, I want it to be because you’re ready and want to take this step with me.” He mistakes my reasons so I tell him my real reasons why.
“This isn’t that. I’m not trying to use you to erase what Jason did today. I’ve never felt so afraid other than when he held me captive for those three days, as I did today. I knew one if not all of you would come for me. When I saw you running towards us, I knew I didn’t want to waste any more time. I am more than ready and I want to take this next step with you. Please, don’t deny me this because you think I’m not ready. If there’s another reason I can understand and we can wait,” Kyles’s mouth is on mine and my words get lost as he kisses all thoughts from my head. His tongue caresses mine as he maneuvers me so my back is against the tiled wall. The cold shocks a gasp from me and I cling to Kyle’s shoulders. His lips leave mine and move down my neck playing with the sensitive skin there. He switches between little nips and gentle sucking, throwing in soft kisses every now and then. My hands have found their way to his hair and grip it tightly as my body comes awake with tingles on from scalp to my toes wanting to curl. I’ve never felt this before. I had no idea someone could feel like this just from kisses.
“You’re wearing too many things.” My words come out in a husky tone filled with desire. Raising up to his full height, Kyle struggles with his wet shirt, getting it stuck on his head before he finally manages to get the damn thing all the way off. I laugh a bit at how funny it is and he smiles at me then goes right back to devouring my mouth with his. He’s working on his pants as I run my hands along his muscled chest and rigid stomach abs, working their way around to his muscled back. His body leaves nothing to be desired and is a particular star in many of my wet dreams. I’d say it’s one in five repeated dreams of mine. The struggle for him to get his jeans off is a bit more difficult and it makes me laugh a bit more as I try and help him. We nearly both topple to the wet shower floor before we manage to get them off, his boxers going with them. They all get tossed into the corner with his shirt with a wet plop.
“Let’s wash first, I don’t want Jason to be any part of what we’re about to do.” Kyle grabs his soap and lathers it up, washing my body carefully, yet thoroughly. He starts at my shoulders and his ministrations are more like he’s giving me a massage than washing my body. After he washes my breasts and rinses them, he captures one nipple in his mouth and flicks his tongue over it until it’s a hard pebble. I moan out my pleasure. He pulls away and works his soapy hands along my torso, pausing before he reaches my pelvis area.
With his forehead resting against mine he asks, “Are you sure?” I nod and he goes on to say, “If you change your mind, no matter how far things have gone, all you have to do is tell me and I’ll stop instantly. Tell me you’ll let me know if you change your mind, Honey.”
“I promise I’ll tell you in the unlikely event of me getting cold feet over us sharing our bodies with each other.” I make my elaborate promise. Then I kiss him and we continue exploring each other’s soap covered bodies. I run my hands along his lower ab muscles, when I hesitate to touch him lower.
“I don’t know what I’m doing…” Kyle takes my hand in his and shows me how to touch him, he doesn’t make me say anymore.
He wraps my hand around him and gives himself a firmer than I’d have done squeeze. Then he moves our hands up and down his cock in a slow motion. Once I’ve got the rhythm he likes and pressure down he goes back to his exploration of my body. One of his big hands has my hip in its grasp and his other moves to between my legs slowly. My body starts to tremble not from fear but from this being new and exciting.
“You okay, Honey?” His voice is deep and rough, I look into his chocolate eyes and residual nerves leave me. This is my Kyle, he’s been my rock, no matter the struggles he’s been dealing with, has always been there when I needed him.
“I’m more than okay.” With my other hand, I move his hand so it’s farther between my legs to help emphasize my point. His fingers slip over and through my pussy folds, I’m not just wet from the shower. A low groan vibrates from Kyles chest as he feels just how much I mean my words. His touch is sure and he doesn’t fumble around like I feel like I’m doing. I may not be a virgin, but I am in every way that counts to me. I didn’t give Jason anything, he took it when it was never his. With his thumb on my clit, Kyle moves it in tight circles with the perfect amount of pressure. I tilt my head back and steady myself with my hands on his shoulders with this new sensation taking my focus.
“Holy, shit.” Those two words say everything for me and I just ride the wave of pleasure Kyle’s building in my body. He presses his body into mine and his chuckles shake me.
“Just wait, things are about to get so much better, come on, let’s get out and dry off.” I don’t want him to stop and my face must have that fact written all over it because he takes one look at my face and laughter bursts from him. I don’t find the loss of his hand funny at all.
“Come on, Nor. It’ll be worth the five minutes it takes for us dry ourselves.” His smile is all-knowing as he takes my hand, turning the water off and pulling me from the shower. He grabs a towel, and briskly dries me off first then does the same to himself. Then I’m up in his arms as he makes his way to his big king-sized bed. I wrap my arms and legs around him to help hold myself up. I fuse my lips to his before he turns and falls back on the bed, taking me with him. We bounce once but keep our lips on each other. My body is much drier than Kyle’s and I take advantage of that by licking the water drops from his chest and shoulders. His hand finds its way between my legs again and this time as he’s playing with my clit, one of his fingers traces the opening of my pussy. I feel his dick hit my ass and I jump when it does.
“Sorry, you’re so wet, it’s fucking hot.” Kyle apologizes.
“Don’t be, I just wasn’t expecting to get dick slapped.” I laugh it off and go back to seeing what will happen if I play with his nipple like he did to me. I put my mouth on it and swirl my tongue around it a few times. Then I flatten it and run my tongue over his hardened peak before I pinch it between my teeth.
A hiss comes from Kyle and I immediately let go, afraid I’ve hurt him. He stops me from moving away and presses me back toward his chest.
“Don’t stop, that was amazing.” His eyes lock with mine as I move my mouth back to his chest, this time on the other side. I repeat what I did the first time and bite down a little bit harder this time, testing out his response to the harder pressure. His hips buck up into mine and he rolls us so I’m now underneath his hard frame. My legs cradle his hips as he kisses me and works his way down my neck again and lower. Blazing a trail between my breasts, both of his hands come up to pinch my nipples as he circles my belly button with his tongue. It’s my turn for my hips to buck up in an involuntary jerk. My breathing kicks up and I make a mewling sound that I’m not sure where it comes from.
“You’re so beautiful, Nora.” Kyle’s tongue laves a path below my belly button and his hands move from their spot along my sides to under my legs. He’s got his wide shoulders between my legs now and I get a bit self-conscious as this is something entirely new to me.
“Relax, Honey. Lay back and get lost in the feelings your body is experiencing.” Kyle reassures me, I do as he says. He’s got his hands wrapped around my upper thighs with his fingers making small swirling patterns on the insides of them. He slides his tongue along one of my inner thighs from just above my knee to the crease of my groin where it meets my pelvis. Following the same path back and forth a few times before he moves to my other leg and repeats the slow agonizing process. Never paying attention to where I need him. I growl my frustration at him, but he just chuckles and continues his slow journey up my leg. After teasing me until I think I want to kill him he lifts his head slightly away.
“Ready?” He finally asks me.
“Yes.” I breathe out in a huff. He tortures me a bit more kissing me on the apex of my pelvis just above where I need him. My hips try to buck up but he holds me down. Then his mouth is on me, teasing my aroused clit to a firmer peak. Good goodness! I thought the man could kiss, he’s a million times better at this! My breathing becomes erratic as he eats me out, working me up into a bundle of pleasure strung so tight I feel like I’m going to burst into a thousand pieces. Then when I think things can’t get any better, he puts his fingers at my slit and plays with it, lubing his fingers up from my wetness. Slowly he inserts one finger and withdrawing, going just a bit further in each time he comes back inside. Once he’s got his entire finger seated, he starts back at my clit with his magical tongue. I get tingles exploding along my limbs then he curls his finger inside me, amping things up to a level I didn’t know existed. It only takes a few finger strokes and I experience my first orgasm from another person. What an orgasm it is, my hips undulate of their own will and my feet dig into the bed planted firmly next to Kyle. For fucks sake, this is what I’ve been missing out on?!
As I’m coming down my endorphin high Kyle comes up from between my legs, kissing his way back up to my mouth. The scruff on his face feels amazing on my oversensitive skin as he kisses me. I can taste myself on his tongue. It’s fucking hot and I’m coming back up the aroused ladder instead of down from my orgasm.
“If you want to stop tell me, Honey. I won’t be mad.” Kyle checks with me, but I won’t have it.
“If you stop, I’ll fucking kill you!” Then I dig my heels into his ass pressing his pelvis against mine. Kyle reaches over to his night stand and opens a drawer, pulling out a condom then he sits back on his haunches and rolls it on.
“This says nothing about you, it’s about me respecting you by keeping you safe. We haven’t talked about any of this stuff yet and now’s not the time I’d like to so, this is for your and my peace of mind until we do.” I’m glad he’s got the presence of mind to be a responsible adult, because I’m too far gone to think of any of the things he’s alluding to.
“Next time I’ll teach you how to put one on me, I don’t have the patience this time.” He lines his cock up with my pussy and looks in my eyes, “You good?” I give him a look that coveys just how good I am and he drives into me in one smooth thrust stretching me with his cock. His pelvis is pressed against mine and I feel so fucking full of him that I don’t know where he begins and I end. He stays just like that for a moment, then he slowly pulls all the way out until just the tip of him is resting against me. He slides back in even slower than he came out and it’s driving me insane. I try to make him go faster but he holds his pace despite my best efforts. Every time I try to move my hips to get him moving, he stops and pulls back until he’s resting against me again.
“You’re not controlling this, Nora. I am.” Then he slides back in and holds himself there. “Ready for the real fun?” I don’t care what he’s asking me so long as he fucking starts moving.
“Yes, fucking yes!” I nearly shout, just managing not to.
“Just remember you asked for it, Honey.” Then he moves at a pace that is finally steady and not messing around. He moves his upper body back so that he can watch himself moving in and out and I look down and the sight is so fucking hot I ratchet up another notch on my arousal meter. Kyle catches my eyes and I see the desire in his half-mast lids when he lowers his body to mine. Covering me, he really starts to pick up the pace, bumping my clit with his pelvis at every thrust. Then he adds a roll with every other rocking thrust and I burst apart before I know what’s happening to me. A few more of those bad boys and Kyle’s groaning in my ear low and long. It’s the single hottest sound I’ve heard yet. We lay there as our breathing evens out with him supporting most of his weight on his elbows and knees. I can feel him start to get soft inside me, before he lifts his head and searches my face. He must find what he is looking for.
“I’m going to take care of the condom then I’ll be right back.” He pulls out and I watch his ass muscles as he walks to the bathroom and through the doorway. I can’t get my body to do anything more than breathe as I lay there. The toilet flushes, and Kyle’s coming back in all his naked glory. Lying down next to me and pulling the covers up over us. I snuggle into him as he gathers me close.
That’s how I fall asleep, safe in Kyle’s arms. I don’t feel it after he knows I’m sound asleep and he exits the bed. Which means I don’t hear the conversation that he has on his phone either.
Kyle
I’ll never be able to forget how seeing Nora being held by that monster made me feel. Having to watch her get man handled by Jason and not being able to do anything about it was the worst moment of my life. So, I never expected to have the best moment of my life when I brought her home with me. Nora choos
ing me as the first person she wanted to be with cemented my choice to be with her. My hang ups were me not seeing my own self-worth and the value I added to her life. Stupid, I know. Just goes to show we all have our self-doubt.
I move Nora off me gently and get out of bed. Unhooking my phone from the charger, I go into the bathroom and leave the door slightly ajar, so I can hear if Nora stirs. Finding Heath’s number, I hit the dial button and put the phone to my ear. It only gets half a ring in before he answers.
“How is she?” His voice is stressed and breathless. He was probably running at Flex.
“Sleeping, exhausted, but she’s safe and knows it.” I pause not wanting to lose the feeling stemming from what I just shared with Nora, but we’ve got things we need to talk about and get moving. “We need to find this asshole; she shouldn’t have to live in fear for a second longer. We also need to beef up security at all the houses, Flex and Kings. I think Silas and I should focus on finding him.”
“Yeah, I’d probably kill him the minute I find him. Though, Silas might do the same. He’d make him suffer first, but eventually he’d get around to killing him.” Heath has a point, maybe I should do this on my own. Then again, I’d be pissed if they cut me out and I’m not entirely opposed to killing the bastard.
“We don’t keep him out. If he wants in, he’s in.”
“You know that’s not going to even be a question.” I do know and I’m absofuckinglutely alright with it all of a sudden letting my rage take the forefront in my emotions a bit.
“Can you call him at let him know it’s us three on this?” I don’t want to be on the phone much longer incase Nora needs me.
“Yeah, I’d want to be getting back to our girl too, if she was with me. I’ll call him, and Kyle, you did good today. If it weren’t for you that motherfucker would’ve gotten her and then you wouldn’t have her with you right now. We also wouldn’t know where the fuck she is, so, thank you.”
