The Thin Line
       By Pearl

    Alecia sighed and rubbed her head. She couldn’t believe she had let her friends drag her to this club. The place was packed and there was that annoying noise people dared to call music nowadays.
    She closed her eyes to draw out a little of the ambient. Sighing once again she took a step forward as she opened her eyes. She saw the boy but it was too late to make her body stop.
    *THUD*
    “What the hell?! Look where you’re going why don’t you?” the blond hissed
    “Me?! Look at what you did dumbass! You’ve ruined my suit. Great! That’s JUST what I needed!” she said giving the boy a dirty look and smoothing her silver tight pants and silver blue top.
    “Shit! Now I’m all wet!” she exclaimed looking down at her clothes. A sly smirk appeared in the boy’s face.
    “I knew I was hot. But I didn’t think I was *that* hot!” Alecia rolled her eyes
    “Yeah blondie. You’re so hot. You know what? You’re so hot I think you need a refreshment!” she replied getting a glass from a person that was passing by and dumping it on his head. Nick screeched and hung his mouth open. He shook his head and looked disbelieving at her.
    “What the hell did you do that for?! Fuck!” he said running his hand through his hair. And dropping a couple pieces of ice. He looked at her with a murderous gaze. She stared right back at him. They had attracted quite an audience with their little fight. They were still staring when their friends arrived at the scene.
    “What’s going on?” asked Brian. Ali broke her stare and looked at him
    “Your little friend here is an asshole!” she hissed
    “Me? Who dumped a glass of beer in my head?”
    “Who cares? You deserved it!”
    “Shut up!” exclaimed two voices at the same. They looked at each other and laughed. One voice came from another one of Nick’s friends, Kevin and the other voice came from Alecia’s friend, Melanie.
    “Don’t tell me to shut up!” Alecia yelled at Kevin
    “Hey! Don’t yell at my friend!”
    “Okay! That’s enough!” said another friend of Ali’s, Carol.
    “Yeah, what Reddie said.” Agreed AJ
    “He started it!”
    “She started it!” both Nick and Alecia stated at the same time.
    “Look, I don’t care who started it. I’m ending it. We’re here to have fun Ali. You could at least try! Come on, let’s go!” said Carol pulling Ali, whom was still glaring at Nick.
    “Fuck you!” she hissed before being dragged away.
    “After you!” Nick called at her. Shaking his head he watched as her friends dragged her to another corner of the club.
    “Yo, Frack! What was that all about?” asked Brian
    “Nothing. Absolutely nothing.” He said shaking his head as if to clear it. Truth was he was attracted to that girl. Girls used to fall at his feet and worship anything he did or said. He was totally into girls who kept their opinions if they thought it was true. Of course they didn’t have to be bitchy about it, but hell, was that a turn on for him! And her curvy figure helped a little in all those thoughts his mind was having. He shook his head once again and followed his friends to the table.
    “Hey Nick. Seems your buddy is happy.” Cracked Brian as he came near them.
    “And they call ME Bone.” AJ broke out of his make-out section with his girlfriend, Amanda Latona, only to return to her arms a moment later. The blond boy rolled his eyes. They were so sickly cute! Sitting down he looked at the dance floor. What he saw was not something he liked. He did a double take.
    Alecia was dancing dangerously close to a blond, that was what women would have as cute, Nick guessed. Feeling eyes on her she turned around and caught him staring. Without breaking their gaze she moved up to the blond and started dirty dancing with him. The boy seemed to enjoy it immensely as he thrust his hips into hers and she did the same.
    Suddenly, she stopped dancing and turned his way. His eyebrows shot up as he watched her make her way to his table. He slowly licked his lips. He watched as she let her hand travel through her hair, to the soft skin of her neck down her chest, lingering on her breast, to her right side, where she rested it and started rubbing her fingers up and down on her warm skin. She was almost in his arms... almost...
    “...Nick!” His friend yelled making him jump
    “What?” he groaned as he realized it was nothing more than a daydream
    “Hehe, I asked you where are our drinks?”
    “Uh, drinks? Oh, yeah. I dropped them.”
    “So go get other ones. And scream if you run into that bad lady again, okay?” Kevin kidded
    “Oh, okay.” Nick replied still far away. The evidence of his daydream still present in his pants. He looked at the dance floor but she was no where to be seen. Sighing and shaking his head he made his way to the bar
    “What’s wrong with you Carter?” he thought as he waited for his orders
    “You know it’s not nice to stare.” A voice said from behind him. Startled he turned around and rolled his eyes when he saw who it was.
    “You again? You know you can stop following me. You’re not my type.”
    “Me? Following you? I don’t think so. But since you’re here, you’d better stop staring at me. I’ll call security you know.” She said with a sly smirk on her face. Nick looked at her and opened his mouth to reply, but no sound came out. He closed his mouth and licked his lips.
    “Such a waste.” Ali shook her head “Such a cute mouth can’t go unused. And if you can’t talk, I suggest you use it for more enjoyable ways.” Nick was astonished with the change of character. She just giggled and got up close to his face, running her hands over his lean chest. “Don’t you think?” she said sensually licking his bottom lip. It finally dawned on him what was happening and he leaned in to take mouth in his. But she quickly backed off and took her drink from the counter.
    “I really think you should find someone who’d like to do that.” She said smiling and walking away. Nick looked at her retreating back with his mouth hanging.
    “FUCK YOU!” he hissed at her. She turned to him
    “After you.” She replied winking at him, making him roll his eyes. Damn this girl was feisty. And hell, was that a turn on for him.
    “Sir... Sir... SIR!” the bartender startled him
    “Uh, yeah. I’m sorry what?”
    “Your drinks are ready.”
    “Oh, okay thanks.”

With Ali’s friends

    Carol watched as Alecia made her way to them with a smirk on her face.
    “What did you do now, girl?” Ali looked at her with a guilty smile.
    “Me? I didn’t do anything.” She said biting on her lip to hide her smile
    “Sure. And I don’t know that smile, right? Spill it.” Ali threw her hair over her shoulder and smirked as she sat down.
    “Well, let’s just say teasing skills are useful sometimes.” Carol smiled and shook her head
    “Girl, you are bad.”
    “What fun would it be if I wasn’t?” she replied taking a sip of her drink and resting her eyes on the blond that was sitting at a table in the other corner of the club with his friends, looking absolutely miserable. She smiled to herself. She loved the power she had over man.
    “One day girl.” Her friend brought her back to reality “You will get some of your own medicine.”
    “Don’t be silly Carol. I’m immune to it.” Carol shook her head knowingly. Ali’d find out soon enough that no one is immune to the cupid’s magic.

Later that night

    “Hey, Carol. I think I’m gonna get going. This really ain’t my thing.” Ali told her friend. Carol nodded slightly and waved her friend off, not breaking her make-out section with a boy she’d met earlier. Ali rolled her eyes and made a gag sound. Smiling she picked her coat and made her way outside.

At the same time

    “Geesh Nick. What’s wrong with you tonight? You look miserable.” Brian said patting him on the back. The blond looked at him and sighed.
    “I don’t know Bri. I think I’m gonna go. This isn’t doing me any good.” His friend nodded with a frown. Nick was depressed lately, since his break-up with his girlfriend two months ago. She had hurt him, but he knew he was over it now. Or at least pretended to be. Brian guessed he was just feeling lonely. He smiled one last time at the blond boy as he made his way out of the club.

    Ali had decided to walk home, after all her house was only a few blocks away. She sighed as she walked through the dark streets; no one was around. She wrapped her arms around herself to keep from shivering. She was walking through a dark alley when she thought she heard steps. She stopped and turned around. No one. She shook her head
    “Now, you’re hearing things girl.” She started walking again but after a few more steps stopped again. She looked back... no one. She sighed and tightened her grip on herself. Now more for fear than cold. She looked around and didn’t see anyone.
    Her eyes started to water, even though she hadn’t seen anyone. Maybe because she didn’t know what was going to happen, IF something was going to happen. She rubbed her hands on her arms trying to get a warm sensation from it. It wasn’t working.
She started walking at a faster pace, her breath becoming slightly heavier. She heard steps again, this time closer. She started walking faster, and the steps followed her pace. She was scared and her tears were almost spilling over her eyes.
    The steps were still there and she was sure someone was following her. She kicked herself mentally for deciding to walk home. After all she was a pretty young lady in the dark night of a big city. She rolled her eyes at herself.
    “Way to go Ali.” She thought starting a slow jog. She could do it. Her home was two blocks from there. She could do it. She started jogging a little faster.
    “AHHH!” she screamed as someone grabbed her arm.
    She started crying softly, her vision blurred by her tears. She bit on her lip as she tried to make out the figure that was holding her arm. She didn’t have the chance though, cause the person pulled her to him. She whimpered.
    “Shh. It’s okay. It’s okay.” The person repeated softly over and over into her ear.
    She gradually calmed down when she recognized the voice. She sighed into his chest. He slowly pulled away and looked at her face.
    “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.” Nick said softly, wiping a few tear strands from her face. She sighed from his touch and shook her head, giving a forced laugh.
    “It’s okay.” She said pulling away from him, embarrassed that he had seen her cry. “What are you doing here?” she asked breaking the awkward silence.
    He shrugged “Needed to think. You know, spend sometime alone.”
    “Oh.” She nodded
    “What are you doing here? You know it’s dangerous to wonder out alone at-” he stopped to look at his watch “- One AM.” He smiled at her. She smiled back.
    “Yeah, well. My house is just a few blocks away. I didn’t think anything could happen.”
    “Yeah.” Nick said looking down and putting his hands in his pockets. “So.” He said looking up, his head still low (yesh, you know the look).
    “So , I guess I should get going.”
    He nodded “Yes, we should.”
    “Yeah... so, where are you heading?”
    Nick smiled “Your house.” Her eyebrows shot up. He laughed
    “Don’t act so socked. I’m just walking you home. There’s no way I’ll let you wonder alone.” She smiled her thanks.
     In normal circumstances she’d have declined the offer, but she wasn’t up to walking alone to her house. Not at this time anyway. They started walking and Nick tentatively dropped his arm around her waist. He smiled to himself when he heard her sigh and felt her lay her head on his shoulder, getting closer to him and holding onto his belt loop.
    “Uh, Ali.”
    “Yeah?” She murmured softly into his shoulders.
    “About earlier. I’m sorry. I was being a jerk.”
     She giggled “It’s okay. I guess I was kinda bitchy too.” She said smiling up at him.
    He chuckled “Kinda.”
    She shook her head as a smile played on her lips. They walked on in silence, passing a weird man, with a smoke on his hand. Nick pulled Ali closer and she held to him. After crossing the street they looked back.
    “Weird fellow.” Ali mumbled, her breath tickling his neck, making him shiver.
    “Cold?” she asked softly.
    “A little.”
    She nodded and letting go of his pants picked his free hand that was dangling on his side. She slowly rubbed her fingers on his skin, giving him a little of her warmth. He licked his lips and smiled down at her. He turned his hand, ceasing the movement of hers and intertwined his fingers with hers. She smiled and sighed softly.
    “So what were you thinking about?” she inquired
    “Huh?”
    “Earlier, you said you had to think. What were you thinking about?”
    He shrugged “I don’t know. Stuff... life.” She nodded and silence fell over them again.
    Time seemed to fly and before they knew it they were in front of her house. She slowly stopped pulling at his hand to let him know they were there. He turned and smiled.
    “This is it?” he said looking appreciatively at the building “Nice place.”
    She smiled. “Yes, it is.” An awkward silence fell over them as they both avoided each other’s gaze. Alecia cleaned her throat
    “So, I think I should go in.” Nick looked at her sadly and nodded
    “Yes, I think you should.”
    Neither of them moved though. They stared into each other’s eyes as their heads dipped closer, only a few centimeters apart....
    *CRASH*
    A loud scratching sound sounded through the street making them jump apart. Nick licked his lips as he looked around and saw a dog and a fallen trashcan. He sighed inwardly. He was so close. He looked at Ali and noticed she was staring at him.
    “Well, I better go...” she said moving her arms pointing at the door.
    “Uh, yeah.” He nodded
    “Yeah.” she nodded too.
    She took a step forward and climbed the first step of the stairs. Landing her foot the wrong way she lost her balance and was about to fall when Nick reached to her at the exact time. He smiled down at her, her face mere inches from his, his arms around her waist steadying her, her body curved slightly to the right, her hands now gripping at his arms. He could feel her rapid breath from the adrenaline of the fall and she could feel his quick breath, from her proximity. She smiled up at him and lost her breath looking into his intense blue eyes.
    “Thanks.” She managed just above a whisper.
    Nick shook his head “Anytime.” He responded just as softly. He slowly but surely lowered his mouth to hers in the softest kiss ever. He barely touched her lips with his and pulled away, waiting for her reaction. When she pressed her lips with more pressure on his and softly stroked his neck, he got the answer he needed and tightened his grip on her waist pulling her to him. She took the hint and circled his neck, pulling him closer. Chest to chest, over sped heartbeat to shaky breaths. Both lovers wanting more, but none with the courage to start what they knew would lead to the point of no return.
    They pulled away, and Nick smiled shyly as Ali blushed a little. She licked her lips, still tasting his sweet mouth.
    “Uh, do you want to come in?” she asked somewhat shy and breathless
    Nick looked sadly at her then at the house
    “I probably should get going.” She looked shocked for a moment, she wasn’t one to ask twice, but she was about ready to beg for him to stay.
    “Are you sure? I could make you some coffee...”
    “Uh, I don’t drink coffee.” He looked at his watch “It’s getting late...” he looked at her sadly. She shook her head inwardly.
    “I could make you some hot cocoa.” She practically begged.
    He opened his mouth to reply
    “I really should-” he was cut off by her lips on his moving softly with his, almost not touching. When she saw he wasn’t resisting she encircled his neck and pulled him closer, while his one hand went to her waist and the other ran through her hair. This time Ali decided to take a step forward and gently licked his lips, before parting them and deepening the kiss. She ran her tongue over his teeth and dipped it in his mouth. She stroked his own tongue and moved away, looking into his eyes.
    “Please.”
    Nick looked at her and felt her hands massaging his side. He bit on his lip hoping what he was doing wasn’t too wrong. Looking in her eyes he slowly nodded. She smiled and pulled him up the stairs. He followed her watching how she moved her hips.

UP in the apartment

    Ali silently opened the door and lit the light. She looked back and saw Nick standing in the hallway.
    “Aren’t you coming in?”
    “Huh?”
    She giggled “Are you intending on standing there the whole night?”
    “Oh... Are you sure about this?”
    She raised her eyebrows “Are you?”
    Nick sighed and bit his lip “Not really.”
    “Oh.”
    “It’s not that I don’t want to... it’s just that... well, I don’t usually do this kinda thing.”
    “You know, we don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. We can just talk and drink hot cocoa...” Ali said taking a step forward.  “Okay?” she asked offering her hand
    Nick nodded and took her hand “Okay.”
    He walked into the apartment and waited as Ali closed the door. She took his hand and guided him into the kitchen.
    “You can take a seat while I make us the cocoa.”
    He nodded and took a seat on the counter. He watched as Ali put the milk and chocolate on the oven and turned on the fire. He licked his lips unconsciously and watched, as she seemed to maintain some distance between them. She mixed the cocoa and turned to him.
    “Sugar?”
    “Yes, please.”
    She nodded and passed in front of him to pick the sugar up. He watched as she passed him head low again and sighed inwardly.
    “Ali?”
    “Yes?” she asked turning to look at him
    “Come here.” He said motioning to her with his hands. She obeyed and walked to him standing a few steps apart. “Closer.” He asked standing his arms.
    She smiled and as soon as she was at his reach he pulled her to him, wrapping his arms around her waist and laying his cheek on her shoulder.
    “You know just because we ain’t doing anything, doesn’t mean we have to stand 10 feet apart.” He joked looking up at her. She giggled softly
    “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for it to look that way.” She said hugging him around his waist.
    “It’s okay.” He said burying his head in the crook of her neck, his breath tickling her making her giggle.
    “What?” he asked looking up at her. She licked her lips, their faces a few centimeters apart.
    “You tickle.” She said her voice in a husky whisper. He looked at her and bit on his lip looking away to keep from doing what his mind, body and heart were screaming at him to do. She sighed to herself and moved herself from his arms to go look at the oven.
She shook her head slightly. “Way to go Ali.”
    She turned the fire off and took two cups from the cupboard. After putting the liquid in them she turned to Nick. What she saw made her raise her eyebrow, better yet, what she didn’t see, Nick wasn’t in the kitchen and she felt her heart tighten at the thought that he might have left.
     Sighing Ali put the two cups on the counter and went into the living room.
    “Nick?” she asked softly, no reply. She rounded the corner to the music room. The lights were off. She sighed to herself again.
    “Damn, where is he?” She turned to the living room and looked around, no sign Nick.
    “Nick?” she called softly to the emptiness of her apartment.
    “Yes?” came the reply right from behind her, his breath tickling her neck.
    “AH!” she jumped back. “Oh my god! You scared the hell out of me!” she exclaimed, her hand on her heart.
    Nick gave a little chuckle. “I’m sorry.”
    She looked at him with a sarcastic face. “Oh yeah. It looks that way.”
    He licked his lips, a small half smile playing on them and shrugged. She rolled her eyes and started for the kitchen. Nick followed her, resisting the urge to wrap his arms around her waist and kiss her shoulders.
    Entering the kitchen she looked over her shoulder to make sure Nick was there. He was and God, his look gave her the chills. She turned around and cleared her throat.
    “The cocoa is ready.”
    “Uh, yeah.” Nick headed for the counter and took the two cups, handing one to Ali. If she didn’t know better she’d say the touch of their fingers while passing the cup, was planned by Nick, who had a full smile on his face. She smiled her thanks, taking a sip and diverting her gaze.
    “Say, can we drink cocoa on that music room? I liked it there.” Nick suggested
    “Sure. What were you doing in there with the lights off anyway?” he shrugged and started for the music room, unconsciously taking her hand in the way out and pulling her behind him. She smiled at the gesture.
    When they got to the music room Nick looked at her. She smiled up at him and couldn’t resist the urge to kiss him. In an impulse she got on her tiptoes and pressed her lips on his. After a couple of seconds she pulled away. She looked away.
    “I’m sorry.” She whispered softly, looking at the ground. Nick gently ran his hands over her face, caressing her cheeks, going down to her lips, gently running his thumb over them. Tilting her face up, he made her look at him.
    “It’s okay. I liked it.” He said with a sweet smile on his face. She smiled back, getting lost in his eyes.
    “So, do you want to listen to some music.” she asked moving to the stereo, turning on the lamp on the way there.
    The room was lit just barely with a reddish light. Nick bit on his lip and followed her. He stood behind her, so close that she could feel his warm breath on the back of her neck.
    “Ali.” He called putting his cup on the coffee table by them.
    “Hmm.”
    “I don’t want to listen to music.” He whispered softly in her ear, moving his arms around her and taking her cup, placing it with his and then wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her against him.
    She sighed softly. “You don’t?” she asked her voice betraying her.
    “No.” He replied just as softly, moving his hands under her top, just barely above her panty line, touching her skin, making it warmer than it already was.
    She sighed and laid her head on his chest.
    “What do you want to do?” she whispered sexily, moving her hands over the hairs on his arms, making them rise.
    “I think you know.” He answered moving his lips to her neck, darting his tongue out and doing little circles, making her shiver.
    She bit on her lip and closed her eyes tightly. “Damn!” she thought. She quickly scanned the room for something, landing her eyes on the piano at the corner.
    “Do you play the piano?” she asked brightly moving away from him.
    He stood there shocked looking at her like she was crazy.
    “Not really. Ali...” he said moving to her side, taking her hand in his and leaning against the piano. He started tracing the lines on her palm like a fortuneteller would. “...although music is my life that is the last thing I’m thinking about now.” He said looking straight into her eyes. She looked at him and couldn’t help but sigh heavily. Seeing her sigh like that Nick knew something was wrong.
    “What’s the matter?”
    She shook her head. “Nothing’s the matter.”
    “I’ve known you for less than a night and even I know something’s wrong.” She sighed again and moved away from him, sitting on the couch.
    “That’s the problem.”
    He looked at her questionably “What? That I know something’s wrong?”
    She chuckled while fussing with her rings “No, that we’ve known each other for less than a night.”
    He frowned “I thought this was what you wanted.”
    She sighed again “It was.”
    “But it isn’t anymore?”
    She bit her lip. “Nick, I really, really, really want to do this. I’m so attracted to you I can’t explain. But... for some reason I don’t want to be just a one-night-stand.”
    She said moving her gaze to the floor, ashamed of feeling the way she felt. What made her think she had the right to want more than that? After all it was her who invited him up. She felt the couch move and knew he was staring at her, waiting for her to look up. She couldn’t do it though.
    He gently picked her hand and brought it to his lips. Slowly he kissed the tips of her fingers and the palm of her hand. He put his index finger and his thumb on her chin making her look into his eyes.
    “I don’t want you to be a one-night-stand either.” He whispered.
    “You don’t?” she asked almost childishly.
    Nick shook his head. “The reason why I didn’t want to come up was that I don’t want to fall in love again. It hurts too much, but...Ali... you’re making it hard on me. I can see myself falling for you so easily it’s scary.” He confessed emotionally.
    Ali looked deeply into his eyes, she wanted to tell him so much, but the words just weren’t coming. Deciding that words couldn’t describe what he had made her feel with his confession she slowly leaned in, never breaking eye contact and gently pushed her lips on his.
    He sighed and closed his eyes, just enjoying the feeling of her soft lips on his. He kissed her back just as softly and sighed when she moved away. With his eyes still closed he laid his forehead on hers, while his arms pulled her closer, so their chests touched.
    “You know where this will lead, right?” Nick asked
    “Yes.”
    “Are you sure this is what you want?”
    “I’ve never been more certain about anything in my life.”
    She replied softly, laying her lips on his. She planted little pecks on his lips, kissing down his neck. Nick in instinct pulled her closer and buried his head in her hair. She stopped kissing him as he whispered in her ear, still in his embrace.
    “Why are we doing this?”
    “Cause if we don’t, we’ll regret for the rest of our lives.”
    Nick pulled away and looked at her. He knew she was right. He pulled her closer and hugged her tightly, burying his head in the crook of her neck. She hugged him back just as intensely.
    After a few minutes she felt a cold sensation moving on her neck. Nick was kissing her softly, laying little wet kisses on her collarbone, making her shiver. He slowly moved up her face, kissing her cheeks, her eyes, her forehead, down her nose and finally on her lips. He kissed her softly for a few minutes and she kissed him the same way, enjoying the feel of him. No rush, just living the moment. She started to carefully caress his neck, making the hair on the base of it rise.
He moaned into her mouth as she licked his lips, dipping her tongue in his mouth. Even though Nick liked the sensual atmosphere the heat that was rising between them was almost unbearable. He caressed her tongue, the feeling of her caressing the insides of his mouth driving him wild.
    Suddenly the embrace wasn’t enough for either of them. Nick pulled her closer and she straddled his lap, grinding against his growing hard on. He moaned as she kissed down his neck, nibbling on his warm skin. He pulled her closer against his hips, the friction of their touch making them both crazy.
    “Where’s your room Ali?” Nick asked breathless.
    She laid kisses from his neck to his ear “First door on the left.” She managed throatily.
    Nick nodded and she returned to his neck. She started sucking at his neck as he moaned. He got up with Ali on his lap. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he supported her with one arm under her legs and the other around her back. Nick pulled his head back enough to capture her lips on his. This time he was the one to push her lips open, deepening the kiss. She kissed him back passionately, tightening her grip on his waist, causing him to gasp into her mouth and pull her even closer. He turned around, his fingers trying to touch as much skin as they could. Nick started walking towards her bedroom... *CRASH*... and the lamp was on the floor. Such small detail was unnoticed by the two lovers lost in each other.
    Nick made his way into her bedroom, still locked in her mouth and body. His hand caressed her back under her top. In contrast to what their bodies were doing she gently caressed his scalp, running her fingers through his hair, she loved the feel of his hair more than anything did. He moved his mouth to her neck, sucking at it while he laid her down and lay on top of her, supporting his weight on one elbow. She moaned. Okay, maybe almost more than anything did.
    They caressed each other, exploring their bodies, finding weakness. Nick started kissing down her collarbone, darting his tongue out occasionally making her writhe under him. He kissed down her chest, through her top up to her belly. Kissing her hips through her pants he raised his lips to her tummy, using his hands to move her top up. He moved her top up kissing the newly exposed skin. He moved it over her breast and she sat up so he could remove it. After he took it off he stood kneeling in between her legs. She watched as his eyes traveled over her torso. Slowly, almost tentatively he reached his hand and touched her breast, making her sigh.
She watched, as his eyes became a dark blue. Just the thought that she was the reason of his desire made her juices flow freely. She laid back and enjoyed as Nick started to explore her body, almost like a child explores a toy store.
    With investigating eyes he moved his hands over her torso. He put his hands on her waist and raised her hips, so that her legs were around his waist and her hip on his knelled legs. Slowly he started to make circles with his thumbs on either side of her, running his palm up her tummy. He caressed just under her breast making her moan. A small smile appeared on his face and he looked at her. He licked his lips, his look giving her goosebumps. He then turned back to her torso. He smiled and then frowned from concentration. Ali had the urge to laugh but soon was forgotten for Nick finally touched her breast. He slowly kneaded them; he moved his hands under her breast and ran his thumb on her flesh. She bit on her lip, watching his every move, he looked so cute... she was so wet... She smiled and moaned as she saw him place his hand on the side of her breast and his thumb rub her nipple. He rubbed it one time and watched, as it stood a little more erect. He frowned and rubbed it again, this time a little rougher, making Ali gasp. A smile came up his face as it slowly responded and stood hard as a rock. Nick seemed to nod approvingly.
    He looked at her and smiled as he dipped his head, gently kissing her breast. His wet lips mauvered her with kisses until she couldn’t handle anymore.
    “Nicky.” She whined
    He chuckled and took a nipple in between his lips, sucking gently, caressing it with his tongue. He gently nibbled on her making her moan. She opened her eyes and shook her head. Nick was nothing like she had thought. She watched him as he sucked at her breast. She ran her fingers through his hair and pulled his face to hers. She forcefully pulled his face to hers invading his mouth with her tongue making him moan. They kissed and Ali turned them over.
    “I want to taste you.” She whispered huskily into his ear.
    Nick growled and threw his head back as she moved her lips to his throat. She kissed his neck going down to his chest. She tasted him as beads of sweet started covering the lovers’ bodies. She licked his nipples, making them stand erect. She smiled up at him.
    “What do guys have nipples for?” she asked him with a sly smile
    Nick half chuckled have growled “So girls can kiss them.”
    “Oh.” She nodded kissing his nipple “Like that?”
    “Yes.” He writhed under her. She smiled.
    “And what do men have belly buttons for?” she asked moving down his torso. He looked at her, his lips partially opened.
    “So girls can kiss it?” he said tentatively.
     Ali shook her head. “So girls can do this.” she said moving her mouth to his belly button and sucking at it, bringing a small amount of flesh into her mouth, nibbling at it. She heard him moan and licked his skin a little more, before letting go and dipping her tongue in it. She looked up at him and smiled slyly.
     “I wonder what guys have this for.”
    He let out a shaky breath and watched as she moved his underwear out of his hips. She moved up, kissing his legs, biting on his inner thighs making him gasp.
    “So...” she said, her breath tickling Nick, making him stand more erect. “What DO guys have this for?” she looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He took a shaky breath
    “So girls can... oh...” he moaned as Ali took him in her mouth.
    Ali nibbled at his head, teasing him. She moved her mouth to his length, licking him from head to base. She felt him start moving his hips under her
    “Ali, please...” Nick whined. Ali chuckled, the vibration of her laughter sending a jolt to his body. She licked her way to his head. Opening her mouth she slowly slid just the head in, making him moan her name and get a grip on her hair. She smiled and opened her mouth some more, finally taking him in her mouth. He half sighed half moaned from the coolness that was making him so hot. Ali started bobbling her head up and down, as Nick’s hips started moving under her. He started thrusting into her mouth as his hands gently forced her head down onto him. She felt him throb in her mouth and knew he was close. She gently moved her hands to his balls as she started a fast pace on his length. Nick moaned under her, and moved his hips wildly. He thrusted into her mouth a few times before coming. She took all he had to give. After she licked him clean she moved to his chest.
    She smiled up to him, who still had his eyes closed and was coming back from his high. She traced little circles on his chest with her fingertips, her long nails turning him on like nothing else. Nick opened his eyes and smiled down at her. He gently shook his head.
    “Worn out already?” she asked a sly smile on her face. He looked at her like she was crazy and rolled them over, so he was now on top.
    “Not even if you wanted to babe.” He said taking her mouth, pushing his tongue in dueling with hers. She sighed as she felt his hands traveling her body. They were everywhere; on her breasts, her thighs, her tummy, her face. It was driving her nuts that he wouldn’t just choose a place and stick with it, and he knew it. He smiled into her mouth, moving his kisses down her neck. He sucked at her neck, feeling her move under him and hearing her sigh. He smiled as he kissed his way to her breast. He sucked it and closed his lips on her nipples.
     “Oh, Nicky!” she gasped throatily feeling his hands and mouth on her, his hard on pressing against her side.
    He smiled still on her breast knowing exactly what he was doing to her. He moved his fingers to her tummy, just below her belly button and gently caressed that area tickling her, making her move under him. He was sucking and licking at her breast as a baby boy would and it was driving her insane. She suddenly grabbed him in both sides of his face bringing him just inches apart from hers. Her stare was so intense it gave Nick goosebumps.
    “I want you inside of me.”
    She stated crashing her lips to his, invading his mouth. Nick was a little shocked but slowly started answering to her kisses. His hands fumbled with the buttons on her pants as his lips danced with hers. He groaned into her mouth when he felt her long nails traveling along his chest and moving on top of his hands, unbuttoning her pants. Nick opened his eyes, as he pulled back, biting on her lower lip. He looked at her so intensely she was sure he could see her deepest secrets. She gently moved her hips up so Nick could pull her pants off. After throwing her pants on the floor he moved up her body, running his hands over her flesh, not leaving anywhere untouched. He smiled and moved so he was on top of her. Supporting his weight on one arm he smiled down at her, moving a strand of hair behind her ear.
    “You’re so beautiful.” He said moving his lips to hers.
    He kissed her gently and buried his head in the crook of her neck, taking in her perfume. She just smiled and ran her nails up his back and through his hair.
    “Nick? Do you have protection?” she whispered softly into his ear. He slowly nodded into her shoulder and unwillingly got out of bed and walked to his pants. Ali watched the cute way his ass moved as he walked. She smiled at the sight. Feeling eyes on him Nick turned around and smirked at her.
    “Like what you see?”
    “More than you know.” She smirked back.
    Nick chuckled as he made his way back to the bed. Unrolling the latex material on his length he moved back on top of her.
    “I want you so bad.” He whispered looking into her eyes so lovingly it made her heart tingle.
    “I’m here baby.” She whispered kissing his lips
    He sighed happily and guided himself into her causing them both to groan. He moved his hips slowly in circular motions, hitting Ali’s sensitive points all around. Ali groaned and hugged Nick’s body closer to hers, dugging her nails into his back. She wrapped her legs around his waist and guided him to go faster. Nick took the hint and dove into her faster and harder, their moans louder by the minute filling the room.
    “I’m close baby.” Ali whispered in his ear. Nick was struggling to keep his control. “Let go Nicky. Cum with me!” she said breathless as Nick slammed hard into her driving her to edge. “Oh God!” she screamed out as her walls closed around him. Ali’s moans and the feeling of her walls collapsing against him were enough to make him find his heaven as he let his hot juices flow. He kept pumping into her as they came down from their natural high. Nick fell onto her as she wrapped her arms around him and ran her hands through his hair.
    “Are you leaving me?” she whispered tiresomely inhaling his shampoo
    “Not if you don’t want me to.” He said looking up at her.
    She captured his lips in a soft kiss
    “Stay?” She asked hopefully. Nick nodded and moved on the bed, taking the condom off and throwing it away, then resting his head on her bare chest, sighing softly before falling asleep, hugging her tightly to him. She sighed at the feel of his strong yet soft arms around her.
    “Don’t make me fall in love with you Carter.” She warned the sleeping figure. Looking at him so defenseless clanging to her as if there were no tomorrow, his rosy moist lips halfway parted, his beautiful hair falling on his eyes, she sighed again. “If you already haven’t.” she whispered closing her eyes, also falling asleep.

The next morning

*RING RING*
 
    Ali groaned as she was brought to the land of the living by the ring of a phone. She picked her phone beside her bed only to be met by the dial phone. She opened her eyes and put her phone on the hook as the annoying sound still filled the room. She looked around the room and saw Nick’s cell phone lying by his pants on the floor. She shook Nick awake.
    “Nick... your phone baby.” She whispered, no response from Nick. “Nick...Nick... NICK!”
    Nick woke up with a jolt.
    “What... what happened?”
    Ali smiled at this man with the heart of a child and the face of an angel. “You phone is ringing.” She pointed to the object on the floor. Nick growled.
    “Can you get that for me?” he whined softly. Ali chuckled
    “Sure.” she said getting out of the bed and going towards the phone. Nick glued his eyes to her naked body. Before answering the phone she turned around and smirked
    “Like what you see?” she asked mocking him from the night before.
    “More than you know.” He smirked back. She chuckled.
    “Actually... I know.” She winked at him as she pressed the button on his cell phone. Nick gave her a confused look as she talked on the phone and came his way. She made a movement with her head showing him what she meant. Nick blushed as he looked down on himself and realized what she was referring to. She giggled on the phone
    “No, I’m not a crazy fan...hehe... No, I’m going to keep him hostage... What? ... I don’t think you can rape the willing though... Yes, I guess you can have him back. Okay, here he is.”
    Nick smiled as he picked the phone and Ali snuggled up to him, resting her head on his chest. He wrapped his arm around her as he talked on the phone.
    “Hey Bone... no you can’t meet her... because you’ll want her for yourself... hehe... sure why not... uh, at what time do we have to be there... okay... okay... okay! Bye!” Nick rolled his eyes and smiled as he put his phone aside.
    “Your friend is funny.” Ali told Nick
    “Yup, they all are.” Nick said smiling thinking of his friends
    “What did he want?”
    The smile on Nick’s face disappeared, as he looked at Ali serious
    “To tell me we have to be at the airport at 10:30”
    Ali turned serious also and moved her gaze to his chest. Nick sighed.
    “I wish I didn’t have to leave.” He stated running his fingers through her hair.
    “I wish you didn’t either.” She said her voice betraying her.
    Nick tilted her head up and planted a soft kiss on her lips.
    “I won’t let you slip away.” He said caressing her face. She turned her head and kissed his palm.
    “I know.” She nodded kissing him. Nick pulled her closer and opened her mouth, guiding his tongue to meet hers. They dueled for a few minutes before Ali pulled away and pecked him finishing their kiss.
    “You can freshen up if you want.”
    “Okay.” Nick said kissing her fingertips. She giggled.
    “Nick, not to be a bummer but it’s eight thirty.” Nick sighed and planted one last kiss on her hand.
    “Okay, I’m going.” He said getting up and going into the bathroom. A second later he put his head out and smiled at Ali. She raised her eyebrow. “Care to join me?” he asked wriggling his eyebrows up and down suggestively. Ali laughed and threw a pillow at him. He moved away before it hit him.
    “Okay, just remember the door is open!” he giggled getting in the shower. Ali shook her head and got up, going to make some coffee.

Twenty minutes later

    Ali stood in the kitchen table, her legs elegantly crossed, hidden behind the newspaper she was reading.
    *Ahem* the sound of someone cleaning his throat made Ali lower her newspaper. She raised her eyebrows as she saw Nick sexily leaning against the doorway with a pout on his face.
    “What’s wrong?” she asked getting up to get some coffee for Nick as he made his way to the table.
    “I thought you were going to join me.”
    Ali looked at him and rolled her eyes sarcastically. She gave Nick his coffee and stood by him, putting a hand on his shoulder as to console him.
    “I’d have loved to join you. But I’m afraid if I had, you wouldn’t get to the airport in time.”
    Nick shook his head and chuckled pulling Ali on his lap, wrapping his arms around her waist. He slowly sipped his coffee as Ali picked her newspaper and continued reading it, still on his lap.
    “I’m gonna miss you.” He said resting his cheek on her back. Ali put her newspaper down and turned her head to meet his lips.
    “I’m going to miss you too.” She said resting her head in between his neck and shoulder.
    “Promise you won’t forget me?” Ali giggled
    “Only if you promise not to do me... okay, that didn’t come out right. But you get it.” Nick chuckled and kissed her nose
    “I couldn’t forget you if I wanted to.”
    She smiled a devilish smile “Does that mean you want to forget me?”
    Nick growled “You know what I mean.”
    She raised an eyebrow “I do, do I?”
    “Yup.” He replied kissing her. Ali wrapped her arms around his neck turning on his lap. Pulling him closer she deepened the kiss. Her tongue touched his in a caring way, softly stroking, tickling. He reluctantly pulled away and Ali got up so he could get ready to go.
They walked to the door. Ali hugged herself as Nick looked around, not knowing what to say. Ali bit her lip, and looked down, trying with no success to control a sniffle. Nick looked at her and pulled her closer
    “Shh... Don’t cry. It’s not goodbye.”
    Ali sniffled into his shirt, holding onto him “I don’t want you to go.” She cried childishly
    Nick felt his eyes water. “Ali don’t do this.”
    “I can’t help it.”
    Nick backed away a little keeping her in his arms and wiped a few tears off of her face. “It’s gonna be okay Ali. I’ve got you number, your email, your address. I’ll call and write, I promise you.”
    “I know. It’s just, I don’t know. Great, now you’ll think I’m a crying baby.”
    “I’d never think that of you.”
    She smiled. “You have to go.”
    “Yeah.” He replied softly, kissing her lips one last time before hugging her tightly. He let her go and walked away, getting into the elevator. He waved goodbye as the doors closed.
    Ali stood on the door as her tears fell. She brought her fingers to her lips, wanting to feel his taste again, but knowing she wouldn’t be able to for awhile. She sniffled and softly closed the door behind her.
    Meanwhile Nick rested against the elevator wall thinking.
    “What have you done Carter?” he asked himself running his hand over his face. He sighed and walked out of the elevator.
    “Buy a flower for you girlfriend Sir?” asked the boy selling flowers on the lob.
    “I don’t have a girlfriend.” Nick replied smiling at the boy.
    The boy put on a shocked face. “You sure look like you’re in love.”
    Nick laughed and messed the little boy’s hair and went to the doors. Walking out in the sunny day he looked up the sky, putting on his sunglasses. He smiled to himself.
    “You’ve gone and done it Carter. You’ve gone and fallen in love boy.” He chuckled to himself, looking at the world with new eyes. He looked back to the building and crossed his heart. “I won’t let you slip away. I promise.” He kissed his fingers and sent his kiss to Ali... wherever she was.
