“He checked the cameras outside your brothers place for the day the property was breached and found a car that circled the cul-de-sac several times that day. He’s looking into it,” Nick shrugged.
“We could be here for months, couldn’t we?” I groaned. “Unless Soloman makes himself known or we find some glaring great clue we missed before, it could take months, years even to end this.” Tears filled my eyes as the realization that I didn’t know if I could handle months of the tension in that house, hit me hard.
“Baby. Come here,” Nick soothed as he rounded the counter and wrapped his arms around me. “Tell me what you’re thinking right now.”
“That I can’t h-handle months of this,” I sniffled. “I’m s-so tried, Nick. I just want to g-go h-home,” I sniffled. “I felt safe at your place. I could be myself there. Here I…I just d-don’t feel like I belong here anymore. I feel like I should be the old Evie here and I c-can’t. She’s gone. I…I can’t be her anymore.”
“You don’t have to be. You just need to be yourself. You’ve changed because of all that’s happened, but that’s okay. No one expects you to be who you were before, and if they do, then fuck them,” Nick told me firmly.
“Being back here…it just shows me how different I am, and this new version of me…I’m so scared she’ll disappoint everyone,” I admitted shakily.
“Evie, look at me,” Nick requested, and I lifted my head and met his eyes. “No part of who you are could ever disappoint anyone. You’re amazing – so strong and resilient no matter what life throws at you; you never stop fighting or trying. You’re so kind and patient too, and so fucking beautiful and sexy. You’re Super Woman, baby. Stop doubting that.”
“And you’re too kind,” I smiled as I reached up to loop my arms around his neck. “I’m not Super Woman, Nick. I’m just me – messed up, emotional, stubborn me.”
“Just you is all I need, baby. It’s all I’ll ever need. I love you,” he said, his voice lower as his eyes filled with heat. I felt it too, my core clenching in anticipation as heat raced through me.
Nick’s lips met mine and we were instantly tangled in the most intense kiss we had ever shared. He cupped my ass and lifted me until we were eye level and able to deepen the kiss further. I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his shoulders, clinging to him as my body was set alight with need for this sexy as sin man I had my thighs wrapped around.
He backed us up across the room to the wall, then pressed my back against it to steady me so he could free a hand . His kisses moved from my lips and down my neck, driving my need higher and higher. I pushed a hand into his hair and clutched the soft waves, enjoying what he was doing, but desperately needing more.
“Nick,” I gasped. “ I need more. Let’s g-go to your room.”
“So impatient,” he teased, but he had already pulled me away from the wall and was headed up the stairs.
He kicked the door to the spare room open and walked in. There was a dull lamp on inside, creating just enough brightness to illuminate the room and stop me from freaking out. I hated the dark.
“Is it wrong to do this in your parents’ house?” he asked playfully as he lowered me down onto the bed.
“My family are all staying at the other end of the house. They won’t hear us,” I assured him as I lay on the bed, desperate for him to get down there with me.
“Don’t be so sure about that baby,” He told me with a wink, and I just laughed. I loved this flirty, playful side of him, that I was pretty sure he only ever showed me.
He started to crawl up the bed until he was over me, caging me in. His lips met mine in a gentle touch, then his tongue swiped across the seam of my mouth, demanding entry. I opened for him and the kiss instantly heated up as he devoured my mouth until I was breathless and dizzy with the need for more. He stripped off the shorts and camisole I had worn to bed until I lay before him completely naked and exposed. There was a moment of dread for me that he would be repulsed by my scars, but all I saw when I looked into his eyes was heat and appreciation as he took every inch of me in. The way he looked at me made me feel sexy in a way I wasn’t sure I ever had and that just made me even more needy for his touch.
He smirked at me and how much he already had me writhing, before he started a torturously slow trail of kisses down my body, over my chest, between my breasts, and down to my stomach. His hands roamed up to my breasts, now heaving with every breath and he massaged both with his hands as he continued to place gentle kisses on my stomach. I moaned in delight as he clamped my right nipple gently between his teeth. He kneaded the other with his hand as he sucked and nibbled at the right, sending shocks of pleasure through my body that only made me even more desperate for him. Then he swapped out, giving my left breast the attention of his skilled mouth and I continued to moan and writhe beneath him at the almost explosive need he was building within me. .
“Nick, please…stop teasing. I…I need you.” I whimpered between moans of pleasure. I needed him inside me. I needed him to cure the ache he had caused.
“You sure about this, babe?” he asked as he sat up and studied me.
“Yes, so fucking sure!” I cried. “I love you Nick. I want this…please!”
“I love you too, Evie,” he whispered, then he was leaning it to kiss me again, this time taking his time and only winding up my need even further as I ran my hands over the chiseled abs I had such easy access to.
He kissed me once more then stood from the bed and pulled something from the pocket of his pants. A condom, I realized when he dropped it to the bed beside me.
“Always prepared, are you?” I asked with a grin.
“Only since I met you.”
He dropped his lounge pants and then stood before me completely naked and definitely not shy about it. Not that any man would be shy if they were sporting the equipment Nick was. I couldn’t help but stare.
Thankfully, he distracted me when he climbed the bed on his knees, until I was once again caged in by him and the heated gaze he had me lasered with.
“So fucking beautiful,” he whispered, then he kissed me hard and fast.
“Nick!” I gasped when he stopped and studied me again. “Please…I need you so badly.”
