One Simple Step (Journey #3)

“Too bad,” he replied, slamming the door shut behind us, and not even bothering to turn on the lights as he scooped me up and headed towards his bedroom. “I’ve had to wait way too long for this. Danny was pissed that I left him at Clammy’s, but he’ll get over it.”


He tossed me into the center of the bed as soon as we entered the room. I propped myself up on his pillows, watching as he took his shirt off with one pull, his dark hair becoming an even bigger mess. I loved running my fingers through it, just so I could get it to look exactly like that. His hands dropped down to his shorts next, flicking the button open and pushing them down quickly where they landed on the floor next to his shirt.

“Is someone in a little bit of a hurry?” I asked from the bed, and he peered up at me, his lips twisted into a smirk but those blue eyes were filled with anything but amusement. He looked like he wanted to devour me, and I was more than willing.

“You don’t even know,” he replied with a groan, as he slid onto the bed, hovering over my body as he gazed down at me. I grabbed onto his arm to pull myself up, softly touching my lips to his as he stroked my hair. “I think you’re a little overdressed.”

I let my head flop back against the pillow, completely in agreement as he pulled away. I watched him lick his lips when his thumb hooked into the top of my shorts, and he gave a slight tug. I lifted my hips to help him along as they slid down my legs. My underwear soon followed.

His warm hands stroked my bare legs as he worked his way back up, his lips following closely behind as he kissed every inch of my skin. He pushed my tank top up with his hands when he got there, his lips never leaving my body, as he twirled his tongue around in my belly button, causing my body to tense because he knew how sensitive I was there. “Every time,” he said, smiling against my skin, before reaching around to unhook my bra.

My hands fisted into his hair as his mouth landed on my nipple, sucking and teasing, the sensation reaching all the way to my toes as I bucked underneath him. He let it go with a pop before moving to the next, one of his hands reaching down to open my legs to tease me even more.

“You know, for someone in such a hurry, you’re definitely taking your time,” I said, my eyes squeezed shut, enjoying every second of what he was doing, but needing more all the same.

His head moved up, his nose gliding against my skin until he came to a stop. “Watching you like this is the best part,” he murmured against the crook of my neck, his tongue darting out to lick a path all the way to my jaw.

I pushed my hips against him, and he groaned, the exact effect I wanted. Apparently, it wasn’t enough because he pushed away, hovering over my body and raising his eyebrows in amusement. “Impatient much?”

It gave me the opportunity to twist out from underneath his body, and catch him by surprise so I was able to trap his body under mine. Nick liked to be in control in the bedroom, and I usually loved it, but tonight I was going to give him a taste of his own medicine.

I moved his arms above his head, narrowing my eyes at him in the darkness. “No more touching allowed…until I say so,” I added.

“Oh really?” A smile played on his lips as I straddled his body with mine. “And what are you gonna do to me if I touch you?”

I touched one finger to my lips. “I don’t know, I’ll have to think about that one.” I gave one swivel of my hips that he instantly reacted to, pushing back against me, but I quickly pulled away. “But, I think these need to go.” I pushed his boxers down, and used my feet to slide them the rest of the way off.

And then gave his body the exact same treatment he had just given mine.

I loved to drive him crazy with my mouth just like he had done to me. He gave a little laugh when my tongue darted out to lick his nipple, and I saw his hand moving slowly towards me. “Ah, ah, ah. I wouldn’t do that. I’m sure you don’t want me to tie you up because you can’t cooperate.”

“Well, actually...” He raised one eyebrow at me, and I knew he would probably like it but we would save that one for another night. I think I had about enough teasing as I could literally handle. He tucked his hands back behind his head, watching me intently with those blue eyes.

I dipped down, touching our foreheads together before smashing my lips into his. He growled into my mouth as I opened it, waiting for his tongue to enter. He kissed me like I had never been kissed before, still keeping his hands in place behind his head. It almost made it more sensual that way, but I couldn’t take it anymore.

I reluctantly pulled slightly away from his mouth. “You can touch me now.”

Before it was even all the way out of my mouth, he grabbed my hips, pulling me closer against his body. I felt one hand start to move down the side of my body, and once it landed in between my legs, relieving the ache that had become almost unbearable, I sighed in relief.
