Nicholas

 

 

I take my time with the kiss. My first taste of her is better than I imagined and when I slide my tongue along the seam of her lips and she opens herself to me, she moans. It's soft, almost inaudible, but I hear it. I feel it reverberate through our kiss.

I tighten my grip on her neck as my other hand circles her waist. I pull her closer, wanting to meld her body with mine. I know she can feel my arousal. My dick is hard as concrete, aching to be inside of her.

Her hands grip the front of my shirt, the material fisted in her palms. She tugs slightly as if she wants us closer. She needs more and I'm not about to deny her anything.

I slide my hand lower until I'm cupping that delectable ass. It's soft and lush beneath her dress. "Sophia." I breathe the word into our kiss. "Please."

She shakes her head slightly just as she deepens the kiss. Her tongue glides against mine in a silent invitation to take more. So I do.

I move my hand lower until it skims the hem of her dress. I want to touch the flesh of that beautiful ass and run my fingers between her legs. I need to feel her wetness. I have to know that she craves me too.

"Nicholas." Her voice is a whisper as she pulls back. "Just a kiss tonight."

I want more. I need it, but I'm not the type of guy to push when a woman pulls back. I won't do it. I break the kiss, my hands loosening their grip.

"You can really kiss." She leans her forehead against my chin. "Like holy fuck, you can kiss."

I laugh deeply. "I'd say the same for you."

Her eyes are cast down. They're in perfect alignment with the outline of my massive erection through my pants. She has to know what she's doing to me; what she's done to me since the first night we met.

"I need a cold shower," I say half-jokingly. "That or a nude run in the snow."

"A nude run in the snow?" Her head pops us to look at me. "No one does that."

"I did it once," I say with a straight face. "You're welcome to join me the next time I do it."

She studies me carefully. "I'm not as gullible as you. I don't fall for things that easily. You've never run around New York in the nude."

"You think I'm gullible?" I ask on a grin. My eyes are glued to her mouth and the faint trace of red lipstick that's still there.

I want that mouth on my dick. If she blows cock the way she kisses, I'll lose it within the first minute.

"You fell for it when I told you to cover your ears before I started playing your piano." She raises her hands to her ears. "I'd call that gullible."

"I'd call it being a gentleman. I'm guessing you're not used to that."

Her hands drop to her hips. "You consider yourself a gentleman?"

I toss her a condescending smile. "Absolutely."

She throws her head back in laughter. "You were groping my ass when we were kissing. I'm pretty sure you're not going to find ass groping listed as one of the definitions of the word gentleman in the dictionary."

"That thing is a magnet for these." I wave my hands in the air in a wide arc. "You have the best ass I've ever seen. I'm saying that in the most gentlemanly way I can."

She looks over her shoulder as if she expects to catch a glimpse of her spectacular ass. "You like it?"

"What do you think?" I adjust the buckle of my belt in an effort to pull her gaze down to the outline of my erection through my pants. "You have to know what you're doing to me."

"I know." She keeps her eyes trained on my face. "I felt it. That's biology though. You can't help it. It probably happens whenever you see a woman's ass."

"I'm not sixteen-years-old." I lean in closer. "I want you. That's why my body is reacting like this. I want to strip you naked and carry you to my bed. I want to taste you, touch you and yes, Ms. Reese, I want to fuck you."

Her lips open until her mouth is a perfect O.

"This game we've been playing has been fun," I go on. "I'll continue for as long as it takes but one day soon I need to be inside of you. I know you want the same thing."

She swallows, her gaze moving from my face to the front of my pants before her eyes meet mine. "You don't know what I want. You can't read my mind, Nicholas."

"You're right. I can't read your mind." I pause. "I can sense that you want me though. You can pretend that it's not real, but if you do that, you're just lying to us both."

She stands her ground, listening to every word I'm saying. "You don't know me. You're basing all of this on your experiences with other women. I bet you're used to women fawning all over you. You think that just because most women will bow at your feet, that I will too."

"You're wrong," I say succinctly. "This has nothing to do with other women."

She steps back, her shoulders tense again. "I doubt like hell that you've ever had to put in any real effort to get a woman into bed. When's the last time you chased a woman?"

I move to lessen the distance between us but she counters with another step back. "Do you want me to chase you, Sophia?"

"I didn't say that." Her hand darts in the air to stop me in place. "Besides, I'm not sure you could ever catch me."

"Is that so? Because from what I've seen…" I begin as I run my index finger along the curve of her chin. "I'm not sure you can handle what's going to happen once I do catch you."

"I can handle it," she whispers under her breath before she moves away from my touch.

"What was that?" My gaze narrows. "I missed that."

She shoots me a look. "I said I need to go home."

"That's not what you said."

Her mouth twists ruefully. "I'm leaving. This has been interesting."

"I'll say," I quip as I tug my phone from the front pocket of my pants. "I'll call for a car. Don't worry. I won't follow behind in the shadows."

"I know you won't," she says, her voice a more even tone. "You're not up to the chase."

"Challenge accepted." I look her dead in the eye. "I want you, Sophia. Don't expect me to give up easily."

A small smile ghosts her lips. "Surprise me, then, Nicholas. Prove me wrong."

"I intend to." I lean forward to kiss her forehead. "I'm a better man than you think I am. I'm also persistent when I see something I want."

She opens her mouth to say something but I stop her with a quick kiss to her lips.

"I'll give you a head start." I move to grab her coat from the chair I placed it on when she arrived. "Then the chase is on."

"You seriously think you can catch me?"

I move behind her to help her with her coat. "I will catch you. This thing between us is too strong to ignore. We will happen. Mark my words."

She turns quickly on her heel, her eyes raking me from head-to-toe. "We'll see. I'll find my own way home tonight."

With that she scoops up her purse, tosses her hair behind her shoulders and walks out of my apartment without a single glance back.
