Nick rolled his eyes. "E, how many times are you gonna listen to that song?"
"As many times as I want to! I listened to "Hi, My name is..." enough times that you will NEVER have any right to rag on me about anything!" Erica said, sticking her tongue out at him.
"I like that song."
"Well, I like this one. So, deal with it." she said, and resumed singing. "I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way..."
"Remind me again why I let you talk me into this?" Nick asked, trying anything to get Erica to stop singing, just for a while.
"Because I really wanna go see Apryl and I want you to meet her. I think you'll like her." she replied, reaching over and tucking Nick's hair behind his ear that had escaped from under his ball cap.
"God, I think I would have rather flown than did this though." Nick whined.
"Oh, come one. It's giving us alot of time to spend together. And how often do you get to see stuff like this?"
"Stuff like what?? All I've seen for three hours is corn!!"
"Nicky- where's your sense of adventure? You never know what you might find out here. Maybe there's some of those freaky crop designs done by aliens out here or something." Erica said trying to perk him up.
"My sense of adventure flew out the window about four hundred cornfields ago." He said, and reached for the cd player and switched the cds. "Feelin' like a freak on a leash, feelin' like I have no release.." Nick began to scream along to the song.
Erica bit her lip, and shifted in her seat, so that her back was to Nick as she looked out the window and watched the rows of corn fly by.
After another hour they came to a little town, and had to slow down. Going from 110 miles an hour to 25 made it seem like they weren't even moving. Erica continued staring out the window- watching the people in the town. There were kids playing on the sidewalk and old men sitting outside the store in rocking chairs. It was such a quaint place, almost like driving through a time warp, a place that time hadn't touched. Erica enjoyed the change of scenery, but from the way Nick practically put his foot through the floor once they passed the city limits sign, she guessed it hadn't been enough of a change for him.
A few more miles down the road, and the corn fields stopped. The was a clearing, and a few dirt roads leading off into what appeared to be no where. A tree here and there, and a barn that looked like it would collapse if someone sneezed too close to it. Off to the right Erica noticed a cluster of trees and a small white building. As they zoomed closer Erica could begin to make out the outline of a cross on top the building.
"Nick, slow down." she said, putting her hand on his thigh.
"What?" he yelled, not turning down the radio enough to hear her even if she repeated herself.
Erica reached for the radio and turned it off. Nick looked at her indignantly.
"I said, SLOW DOWN!" Erica glared at him.
"Why?"
"See that little church? I wanna go look at it." she said, her voice losing the annoyance she'd felt over the last couple hours.
"Why?" The last thing Nick wanted to do was stop. He was sick of driving, but he wanted to keep going just so they could get somewhere- hopefully with better scenery.
"Just do it." Erica said.
Nick didn't want to argue. He already felt bad that he was being so pissy to her, so he decided to just go along with it. He pulled over near the church and quickly got out, going over to open the door for her.
She smiled at him, and kissed him lightly on the cheek as she hopped out of the Durango.
"Hey, I gotta go take a leak." Nick said,
"God, you're so charming sometimes." Erica replied as she watched him wander off towards the little cluster of trees.
She turned and walked toward the doors of the church. They looked like they hadn't been opened in years. She pulled on the knob and thought it was going to fall off in her hand. She tugged on it some more and finally got the door open.
She walked through the door and straight into a giant spiderweb. She looked around the small sanctuary of the church- dusty, covered in spiderwebs- abandoned and lonely. She walked to the front, and looked around. There was a podium, and empty baptistry, and an altar.
Erica walked to the altar and pushed down on it, testing it's sturdiness, getting an idea.
Nick felt considerably better, after getting out and walking around a little. He went to the church and pushed open the creaky doors.
"Erica?" he called, glancing quickly around and not seeing her.
"Up here, Nickolas."
Nick looked down the aisle, to the front of the church. His jaw dropped when he saw Erica, sitting on the altar, naked, legs crossed primly.
He began walking toward her, eyes wide and mouth still gaping. He approached her, stopping directly in front of her.
"You're in church. Show some reverence." Erica said seductively, placing her hands on his shoulders and pushing him down to his knees in front of her.
NIck smiled up at her, placing his hands on her knees and slowly spread her legs apart. He slid his hands from her knees up her thighs lightly, just enough to make her shiver in anticipation of where he'd touch next. His hands left her just long enough to turn his baseball cap around backwards. He brought his hands back to her, carressing down her legs to her calves as he kissed her inner thighs with dry teasing kisses.
Erica's heart was beginning to beat rapidly, and she could feel herself become almost unbearably wet. She reached for Nick's face, placing her hands on either side, and tilting his face so he would look at her again. He watched as she ran her hands down her body, trailing her fingers across her own wetness. She brought her fingers to his mouth, brushing her sticky sweetness across his lips. He didn't need any other hint. Immediately she felt his tongue searching her soaking pussy, until he found her clit. He rapidly flicked his tongue across it, before gently nibbling at it, his teeth tickling her just right to send amazing jolts of pleasure coursing through her entire body. She thrust her hips towards him, and grabbed at his head, tossing his baseball cap off, and tangling her fingers in his hair, as she tried to pull him even closer to her. She threw her head back in ecsasty as he continued to explore her with his tongue. She felt like she was falling, everything was spinning out of control, as she tried to focus on something. The only thing she could really see was the cross suspended from the ceiling, as she screamed to heaven in the midst of her violent climax.
He fought against the grip she had on him only to stand up, and kiss her deeply as he quickly removed his shirt, jeans and boxers. As soon as he was undressed, he wrapped his arms around her crushing her body against his. Their tongues played against each other, both trying to take control of the passion of their forceful embrace.
Erica brought her hands down between the two of them, pushing him away just a little, running her hands down his stomach, until she came to his throbbing cock. She grasped him firmly for a second, just enough to make him whimper, then released him, beginning to stroke him gently. He pushed himself into her hand repeatedly and she quickly decided she wanted him inside her.
"Come here" she whispered, her hands not leaving his dick as he came as close to her as possible. She guided him into her, just enough, and then allowed him to enter her like he wanted to. He slowly slid into her, moaning as her warmth and wetness surrounded him. Erica's legs wound around him, locking her ankles behind him and throwing her arms around his neck.
Nick began thrusting deeply into her at an almost leisurely pace, like he wanted to savor every movement, every feeling of being inside her.
"Oh, God..oh, Nicky... faster..." she moaned against his chest, as she teased his nipples with her tongue.
Nick's hands went to her shoulders, and leaned her back, so she was laying draped across the altar. He reached behind his back to Erica's ankles, and pulled her legs back around him, leaning them up against his chest. He put his hands on her heels, keeping her legs together as he started thrusting into her harder and faster.
Erica was revelling in the feelings of him filling her, and being so tight around him. Her hands wondered over her own body, rolling her nipples with her fingers, cupping her breasts, and on down to her clit. She rubbed and massaged her pulsating flesh, getting lost in the combination of the intense exhilaration coming from both her own actions and Nick's.
Watching Erica touch herself made Nick go wild. His movements became more frantic as he felt his release building fast. His hands slid up and down her legs as he continued to plunge into her, deep and hard. The ferocity of Nick's motions caused Erica to grip the edge of the wooden altar as her back arched upwards in response to Nick.
He thrust into her once more, and the friction of his body grinding against hers was just enough to send her spiraling into euphoria again.
"OH GODDDDDD!!!!" she shreiked as she felt her body tense up and begin to shudder in an orgasm so powerful, she may well have seen God.
Feeling her muscles contract around him, and grip his cock while hearing her scream was the only thing Nick needed. He came hard, exploding deep inside her. He let go of her feet, falling between her spread knees, collapsing onto her chest.
They lay on the altar, breathing heavily, their bodies still quivering against each other.
When Nick caught his breath, he said, "You realize, we're probably both going to go to hell for this."
Erica giggled, and replied, "I can't think any other reason I'd rather end up there, though."
NIck smiled at her. "Yeah, might as well enjoy it. And I certainly did." He got off her, and began to get dressed again.
Erica put her clothes back on, and looked around her. She wondered when the last time anyone had been in here was. She was sure that whenever it was, they'd never seen heaven in here like she had.
Nick watched her looking around. "This really is kind of a cool place." he said.
Erica turned to him and smiled, "Yeah. I'm glad we stopped."
"So I am. Sorry about earlier." he said, taking her hand and walking to the door.
"Hey, it's alright. I promise I won't listen to that song anymore." she said, smiling as they walked back outside into the sunshine.
"I don't mind it. If you like it- it's cool with me."
"Actually, I'm kind of in the mood for a little NIN, I think." Erica said, giggling.
Nick laughed as they climbed back into the Durango and headed off, back out to the endless stretch of cornfields. The two of them in their own private heaven, somewhere closer to God.
You let me desecrate you...
You let me penetrate you...
You let me complicate you...
Help me get away from myself...
The only thing that works for me is you.
You get me CLOSER TO GOD"
("Closer", NIN)
