One Simple Step (Journey #3)

He pushed in one finger, and then two, making my hips grind into him even harder. I really needed to stop this or it would be finished way too soon. But it felt so damn good.

“Nick,” I panted out, reaching down to push his hand away and he luckily complied. I lifted up slightly, and his hands moved back to my hips as I sank down, his hardness filling me to the max, causing me to tip my head back and let out a moan. This seriously had to be the best feeling ever.

“So beautiful, Ally,” he whispered from underneath me. “I love you.” He pulled me down even harder, if that was possible, his hands moving around to cup my ass. I bent forward to brush my lips against his.

“I love you, too, Nicholas Bennett.” The love was what made this even better, made the feelings even more extreme, and made it almost overwhelming. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I sat back up, slowly moving on top of him, up and down, around and around, filling the need but not fulfilling it. Nick was going insane beneath me, bucking his hips up, his fingers digging into my ass. “Baby, think you can speed things up a little?” He whimpered slightly when I stopped all together, and I smiled down at him, loving that I was in control.

“I guess so,” I replied, nonchalantly, even though I wanted nothing more than to do exactly that. I pushed down harder, needing it deeper and faster, while we moved frantically, finding a steady rhythm as we panted together.

I felt that burst coming, I was right there on the edge, and then Nick sat up quickly, twisting us around so he was again on top. In control just like he wanted, but at that point I didn’t care. I grabbed onto the edge of the bed as I broke apart underneath him, and we came down from the high together, Nick collapsing breathlessly on top of me.

He pushed my hair back, raining kisses down on my face before burying his head into the crook of my neck. I wrapped my arms around him, loving the weight of his body on mine, as we laid there together in silence, the love between the two of us filling the room. We were completely lost in each other, and I wanted it to stay this way forever.





Chapter 19


Nick



God, I loved waking up with Ally wrapped around me. Her naked body belonging exactly right here. She was even gorgeous when she slept. Her dark eyelashes fanning against her golden skin, her blonde hair splayed out around her. Even her snoring was cute. She was convinced she didn’t do it. I was seriously gonna have to record that one night just to prove her wrong.

I hated to wake her up, but it was back to work for me today. I was looking forward to it, but I knew I would miss being with Ally every second like I had been recently. And then it would also give me time to myself, time to think about what in the hell I was going to do next.

I heard my phone beep next to the bed, and I quickly scooped it up, not wanting to wake Ally, who looked so peaceful.

Kara: I think we need to meet up then

Fuck. I squeezed my eyes shut for a second before switching my phone to silent. I knew that it was inevitable but it didn’t mean I had to like it. Dealing with Kara probably had to be the worst part of this.

Ally murmured something in her sleep, and my eyes darted back to her, thinking about what this would mean for our relationship. I should’ve already told her, and I felt guilty as hell that I hadn’t. I didn’t want to hurt her any more than she already had been. She didn’t deserve it. I wasn’t sure how to tell her, though. I didn’t even know what I was going to do yet.

“Ally.” I nudged her slightly, and she swatted at me, hitting the side of my arm before her light snoring started up again. I tried to unwrap my body from hers, but it wasn’t happening. “Ally.” I kicked her foot with mine, and she groaned.

“Nick, seriously. Stop.” She was not a morning person.

Whatsoever.

“Sorry.” I buried my face in her hair, loving that flowery smell of hers. “But I have to get up for work.”

“Fine,” she huffed, rolling to the other side of the bed. “You can go now. I’m going back to sleep. Have fun.”

“Alright, baby.” I kissed her cheek before hopping over her body to get up. By the time I was done showering and grabbing my cup of coffee for the morning, she had passed out again. I grinned as I quietly shut the door, sneaking one last look at her, loving that she was naked in my bed. If only she would just stay exactly like that until I came home.



My first day back at work was spent catching up practically non-stop, so when I looked at my phone, knowing that I needed to answer Kara, I still had no clue what I was actually going to say to her. Ally had mentioned something about going out for drinks with Remy, so I called Kara to see if she was available tonight, and she was.

Great.
