Page 43 of Somewhere Only We Know
Nate’s body is dead weight on mine as I read the latest book in a trilogy I’ve been anxiously waiting for while he sleeps. What we must look like with a man almost a foot taller than me covering my body like a weighted blanket. I have an actual blanket thrown over us and with my balcony door wide open letting in the November air, I’m more comfortable than I’ve ever been.
We’ve been in different study groups for the last two weeks preparing for finals and with it finally being Thanksgiving break, we both have a chance to relax before our actual finals begin. But with Nate now firm on his decision to enter the draft, his workouts have been bumped up to two a day. So this moment, with him laying on me, is the first time we’re able to spend uninterrupted time with each other without him having to run off to train.
I place a light kiss on his forehead and finish up this last chapter. I’m putting my book to the side when he stirs.
“Has anyone ever told you you’re cute when you sleep?” I ask softly.
He makes a mumble of protest at me calling him ‘cute’ and burrows his face into the crook of my neck. “I’m so tired.”
“I know. Just think–this is just a tiny taste of what you’ll get when you’re a super famous and successful baseball player.”
Nate snorts. “I don’t know about super famous. But definitely successful.”
“Hmm.” I hum and massage along his upper back. “Well, rest assured to know I’ll have your poster on my wall.”
“Just the one?”
“I think more than one of you on my wall would make me out to be a stalker?” I joke.
“A hot stalker,” Nate corrects at the same time a knock on my door sounds.
The door creeps open and my mom pops her head in. “Dinner is ready if you two are hungry.”
“Okay, we’ll be down in a little bit, Mom.” I tell her and she leaves with a knowing smile.
Nate and I make no immediate attempt to get up. I like laying with him like this. Where the world is silent and the moments are peaceful. It’s just us.
“Okay.” I start and begin to move from under him. “Let’s head down.”
Nate stops me and scoots his body up. “Kiss first.”
“How can I resist?”
“You ca–” I cut him off and press my lips to his. I pull his bottom lip between my teeth and moan into him when his tongue slides into my mouth. Nate grinds himself against my center and it takes my breath away. He’s been very diligent in his lessons and we’ve still yet to go all the way. But Iwant to. I’ve made that clear more times than I can count. The pain–I think I can manage, because soon that’ll give way.
Nate hikes my leg over his arm and opens me up. He swallows my whimper as he brushes against my clit. My hands roam all over his body as I try to regain some power. But it’s like we’re in a dance. Where one gives and one takes. The power eventually comes back to me. I push back on him and he falls to the side before landing on his back. My legs fall on either side of his waist and I drop back down to kiss him. My hair curtains us as I lick into his mouth, claiming him as mine when his hands land on my waist and he pushes me down onto his stiff erection. My body stutters as I feel his full length from this angle. My hips move on their own as we continue to kiss. Devouring each other like this is our first and last time.
“Jax, Nate! Dinner!” My mom shouts from the stairs.
I break our kiss like we’ve been caught and push up on Nate’s chest to catch my breath. It doesn’t do well that I put my full weight on his cock and I watch Nate’s eyes flare.
“Hungry?” I ask.
“Mm hmm. Just need a minute,” he tells me.
I give him another kiss on the lips before rolling off him. My phone buzzes on my nightstand and I see it’s a text from my sister.
Kammy: Miss you.
Me: I miss you!
Me: You know you live like twenty minutes away.
Kammy: I know. Things are weird with Liam.
Me: All the more reason to come home.
Me: But hopefully you two work it out.
