“I’m sure you could use one of the bedrooms here.”
“You sure?” I looked at him with hopeful eyes and he nodded as he put his hand out for me and I didn’t waste a second in threading our fingers together.I’m drunk.
“Come on, I’ll lead you to the cottage. It might be quieter in there than here,” he explained and I nodded, allowing him to walk me through the wonderful landscape. He must’ve been here many times before, he knew his way around quite well. “Make sure you lock the door before you fall asleep, okay?”
He pushed the door open for me and my breath was taken away again. This house really was the best house I had ever set foot in. The cottage looked like a cute small apartment,could I actually rent this space?I should ask the captain.
“Avery, did you hear me?” He tugged my hand and I turned to face him, looking away from the warm-colored and decorated interior.Nate is huge. I didn’t realize it when I was sitting so close to him before, he looked normal-sized. But now standing in front of him like this, I realized how huge he was.
“Yes,” I whispered as I looked into his eyes, my breath was caught in my throat as he gently squeezed my hand. “I’ll lock the door.” I gave him a small nod, suddenly feeling cautious.
“Promise?” he asked as he filled the door space.
I hesitantly licked my lips as I looked up at him.Why did the air suddenly feel and smell different?It smelled like dew and nature mixed together, and a whole lot ofmantoo.
Was I always this small? Nate’s free hand moved up to my neck and shivers traveled down my spine as his rough hand gripped me gently. Why was he leaning in?
“I asked you a question, Avery,” he whispered, his other hand joined in wrapping itself around my neck, as he tilted my head up to look at him.
Ahh, do I actually want this now? Fuck, actually how do I breathe? What was his question again?
“I promise,” I murmured and he let go of my neck, stepping away from the door as he entered the cottage.
“Show me then.”
Who knew locking a door could be so hot? My hands shakily pulled the door closed, and my finger shakingly locked it. I took a deep breath in and turned around, pressing my back against the door as I looked at Nate, who suddenly made the cottage look tiny.
“You sure you want to be locked in here with me, Avery?” My goodness, his voice was so seductive!
WHO WOULDN’T WANT TO BE LOCKED IN A ROOM WITH HIM?
“Yes.” My heart pounded roughly against my chest as I realized the weight of my words. “No doubt about it.” I smiled and he took one giant leap toward me and grabbed my face as he pressed his lips on mine hungrily as he kissed me.
FUCKING FINALLY! I WON!
“Fuck, Avery. I’ve been waiting forever just to kiss you,” he whispered against my lips as he picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. Being in his arms like this was everything and I felt like I was finally living my delusions.
“We could do more than just kiss.” I pulled his bottom lip into my mouth and sucked. Nate groaned as he took steps to the bed, never struggling even though I knew I wasn’t the lightest.“I’m open to doing whatever you want to do.”
“Baby, believe me. I know how to kiss everything.”
I stretched my arms across the bed as I felt the sunlight blinding me in my sleep. I sat up on the bed, looking around the room as a small smile grew on my face. That was a lovely dream.
I yawned as I stretched my arms over my head, taking in the beige furniture in the room. The bedsheet was pooled around my waist and my breasts were hanging out, painfully so too. It felt they had been fondled with the entire night, just what?—
I gasped as I covered myself, quickly kneeling on the bed as I looked beside me and noticed that the spot was empty. I looked down at my body and noticed the marks that covered my body.
“It wasn’t just a dream?” I whispered to myself as I felt the ache between my legs and every other part of my body. “I slept with Nate?”
I covered my mouth as the recollection of what we did—whathedid to my body washed over me.
“Oh my gosh!” Excitement coursed throughout me as I bit my lip.
I slept with Nate!
“But where is he?” The excitement disappeared as quickly as it came and rationality finally crashed on me. My throat suddenlyfelt painful as I covered my body in shame, embarrassed by my foolish excitement.
I was just a one-night stand.
