Chapter Eleven       Heidi reached out for Nick, taking him by the hand and pulling him down next to her. "I've never been more sure about anything in my life," she replied and then sealed her lips to his. He couldn't believe it! She wanted this as much as he did. 'But what if she changed her mind?' he wondered. He pulled away and looked down at her. "Heidi, are you really sure? If you're not, tell me now. I don't know that I'll be able to stop later," he said, his big body trembling as he held himself away from her.    Heidi grabbed at the tail of his shirt and pulled it over his head. After placing a kiss over his heart she said, "Nick, if you don't kiss me now, I'll never forgive you." Nick smiled that cocky, half smile at her and then lowered his lips to hers. Nick broke the kiss and reached for her shirt, pulling it up and nuzzling her belly. He grinned widely as her laughter floated through the room. As he pulled the shirt completely off, he placed a trail of kisses up her body, stopping to worship her breasts on the way. Her low moan and the arching of her back let him know she approved. He slipped the straps of her bra off her shoulders, following the movement with kisses that set her on fire. Every piece of clothing he removed, he followed with kisses. By the time her top was bare, there wasn't an inch of skin that hadn't been kissed.      "You're so beautiful," he whispered and then dipped his head to lick her nipples. The ripples of pleasure floating through her body were more intense than anything she'd ever experienced before. Her hands fisted in his hair and held him close, wanting more of the sensations he was evoking in her. As good as it felt though, it wasn't enough. She wanted to touch him, to taste him, and to please him. In a movement that was quick as lightening, Heidi threw her leg around his waist and flipped them over. A stunned Nick looked up at her and she smiled softly before kissing her way over his chest and lower to his abdomen.    Slowly, seductively, she drew circles around his belly button with her tongue, eliciting a moan from Nick. His hands shot to her hair and he wrapped the strands around his fingers. 'God! The things she could do with that tongue,' he thought, as mindless pleasure sent him to the edge.    "I need you," he rasped out hoarsely. Heidi crawled up the length of his body and kissed him passionately, her hips grinding into his. Using her own move on her, Nick flipped her over and quickly removed their remaining clothing. He locked his eyes with hers as he positioned himself and slowly eased his way inside.      Her body tightened around him and Nick fought for control. He'd never in his life, been this out of control. The need to be buried deep within her burned him, urged him to hurry, but his heart counseled him to go slow, to pleasure both her and himself. He took a deep breath and sank all the way in, her velvet softness gloving him. He groaned as her body clenched again. "Nick?" she asked softly. "It's okay sweetheart. Just give me a minute," he said as he forced oxygen into his starved lungs. The act of taking that deep breath drove him up further inside of her and her hips arched of their own accord.    Nick knew he couldn't wait much longer and began moving within her. She met him thrust for thrust, in a dance as old as time. As they reached their final destination, they cried out, holding each other tightly. They drifted down from the sensual cloud and into each other’s arms. Heidi stroked Nick's back, prolonging the contact, as his head rested on her shoulder. As the minutes passed and they calmed, Nick rolled them to their sides, their bodies still joined. In seconds, his breathing was deep and even. Knowing he was asleep, Heidi felt safe enough to whisper, "I love you Nick." SNC Index                     Chapter Twelve                   Main
