Page 37 of Naughty Nicky

“Nicky,” she says on a whisper.

I don’t even know what I’m doing or why I do it. But I drop my lips to hers until I can feel her staggered breath on my lips. I look into her eyes, and they are filled with so much need and desire, I know I can’t hold myself back anymore.

She gasps as my lips crash to hers. She is just as surprised as I am as I devour her. I don’t even take it slow. I kiss her like it will be the first and last time because it will be. So I give her everything I have, take everything I want.

One of my hands drops from her face and find its way underneath the jacket and onto her hips, pulling her into me, controlling this kiss in the only way I know how, the only way I want.

She moans against my lips, and the sound goes straight to my dick. I know she can feel me growing hard against her belly as I pull her even closer into me.

I wish I was shirtless right now so I could feel her perky breasts pressing into my naked skin.

Her hands find their way into my hair, and she pulls on the strands, making me grip her even harder. Goddamn, I want more. But I find one tiny bit of control, holding myself back just a hair before I go completely caveman on her and ravish her like the goddamn damsel she is.

She starts to grind into my hips, and my hand slides from her hip to her ass, pulling her onto my dick, making sure she feels everything she is doing to me.

I drop my other hand from her face ready to pick her up and fuck her against the window or the couch or on the dining room table. The last thread of restraint disappearing by the second.

She groans into my mouth as I thrust my hips into hers, my fingers ready to slip under the panties she’s wearing until the shrill sound of my landline ringing breaks the moment.

I pull away from her, my breathing erratic.

“Fuck,” I mutter.

She tries to reach for me, but I pull away. “That may be an emergency. I should take it.”

I don’t even look at her face but know that disappointment is written all over it. But we had to stop. I needed to stop before I did something I would regret.

Silence overtakes the house as I make us a quick dinner. She retreated to the bedroom after I got off the phone with my dad. He’s the only one with the number to that phone. Luckily, all was okay. He was just grumpy and pissed off that he ran out of beer and couldn’t get to the store because his truck was stuck in the snow. I breathed a sigh of relief that he wasn’t able to drive because it never would have ended with a good outcome.

I call for Penelope, but she doesn’t answer so I head down the hall toward my bedroom to find her sitting in the chair by the window reading the book I had been reading this week.

“Dinner’s ready.”

She looks over at me, and I can tell she’s been crying. Her eyes are slightly puffy and red. “Okay.”

She stands quickly, setting the book down on the side table. She’s wearing nothing but one of my oversized T-shirts, and I fight the beast in me that still wants her, that likes seeing her in my clothes.

I grab her arm as she walks past me. “Everything okay?”

She shakes me off her and looks up at me. “Everything’s peachy.”

She skirts past me, and I let her go. I know she’s pissed. I know she wanted more. But what was I supposed to do? I can’t have her. I shouldn’t have even kissed her.

We eat dinner in silence, and she offers to clean up the kitchen again, but I tell her I’ll handle it.

When I walk out of the kitchen, I don’t expect to find her on the couch curled up under a blanket. I thought she would have retreated back to the bedroom.

“Do you want to watch a movie?”

I shove my hands in the pockets of my sweats and look up at the TV. She is hovering over some superhero movie that came out last year. “Sure.”

By the time the movie ends, I’m yawning and ready to catch some sleep. On the couch. Definitely not in the bed with her again. I don’t think I have any self-control left for that.

“I hate these stupid movies,” she says.

I raise a brow at her. “Then why’d you pick it?”

She shrugs. “Thought you would want to watch it. Derrick always wanted to watch these stupid superhero movies.”
