Chapter 30
"Come on in." Nick stepped aside and headed into the kitchen. "Dinner's just about done. I wanted to make sure it was ready by the time you got here."
"Nick, you really didn't have to do all this." She looked around noticing that he had his fireplace lit.
"It's ok, I wanted to." He replied, bringing various bowls to the table.
Keyana walked in and looked at the spread. The table was loaded with various foods, and just then she realized how hungry she was. "Wow, this is even better than before. Man am I hungry."
"Good, that's what I like to hear." Nick smiled, coming around and pulling her chair out before sitting himself.
"You know, I should cook for you sometime." The words were out of her mouth before she knew what she was saying.
Nick raised an eyebrow. "That'd be nice." He said softly.
Keyana smiled shakily and stared hard at her plate. She had to stop this. She'd eat, answer his questions and leave. They ate the rest of the meal in silence.
"You're so quiet, whatcha thinkin' about?" Nick inquired quietly.
"Oh, nothing really. I guess just a little tired, my minds starting to wander."
"Well if you're all finished, we can head to the living room and get down to it."
Her eyes widened. "Get down to it?"
"Yeah, ya know the questions."
She felt her face burning. Stupid! "Oh, right."
He smiled. "What did you think I meant?"
"I-I dunno. Not important." She put her napkin on the table and pushed her chair back, standing up. "That was delicious once again." She smiled.
"Thanks. Let me just load these dishes into the dishwasher, and I'll be right with you."
"Can I help?"
"No, go relax. You've worked all day, believe me I know how that is when I'm on the road. I don't feel like doing shit."
"Yeah but Nick, what I do isn't half as..."
"Hey now, don't go putting down what you do. No one's job is any better than anyone else's."
"Not all people feel that way."
"Yeah, but they should." Nick sighed.
Keyana nodded and headed over to the couch. A few minutes later Nick joined her.
"Come on, let's sit in front of the fire." Nick suggested, pulling her off the couch. They settled in front of the fireplace.
"So what did you want to ask me?"
"Oh just how everything's going...when do the renovations start and so on."
"Well I've put the order though and charged it to your account, you should be receiving your invoice soon. Once the order and everything is complete which should be within a few weeks. We still have quite a bit of work left, you need to pick out some more things and so on. Everything's coming along nicely so far though."
"Ok, that's all."
Keyana stared at him. "That's the only thing you wanted to ask me? Jesus Nick why am I here then?!"
"Cause you need to relax and well, I wanted to be with you." He replied bluntly.
Keyana looked at him.
"So talk to me, tell me what's going on in your life. How are things with you and Shane? That's his name right?"
"Yes Shane. My life is ok I guess, same old shit you know."
"Come here, get closer." Nick reached out. He pulled her closer, spreading his legs apart and pulling her to rest between them.
"Nick, I don't think this is such a good idea."
"Shh, it's ok. Just relax."
Hesitantly she sat there, she could feel his breath fanning her ear and she closed her eyes briefly.
"Go on with what you were saying."
"Um, nothing much else to say really. Work is long and tiring, but hey it's what I've always wanted."
"Mmm, what bout things with Shane? Have they gotten better since you two got back together?"
"Y-yeah, a little. I dunno, I just can't... Aww shit forget it, I don't even know what I want to say." She sighed, frustrated. She felt Nick's arm reach out and wrap around her waist, slowly he pulled her back to him.
"No need to say anything honey. Nothing at all." He whispered in her ear.
"I just, just need something." She murmured.
"What? What do you need?"
"I need to be, touched, caressed." She heard herself moan. It was too late to take the words back, far too late. She felt his hands slide up her arms to her shoulders and gently start rubbing. She couldn't stop the moan that escaped, couldn't stop the feeling his hands on her were doing.
"Shane, is Shane not doing it Keyana? Is he not touching you like you should be touched?" Nick whispered, his hands sliding down her arms once again to rest on her stomach.
"Mmmm, Nick."
"Is he not making you feel the things you should be feeling?" Slowly his hands moved from her stomach to the band on her slacks, flicking it open. His hand slid inside.
Dreamin' of you
Dreamin' everyday
And every night of my life
But someone else is holding you tight
So I'll see you in my dreams girl
She felt his hand slide to slacks, her body starting to tremble. She shifted so that her legs were stretched out, her hands resting on her stomach. She knew she should reach out, reach out and take his hand away but she couldn't. She'd been longing for his touch again, aching for it. Slowly she leaned back allowing him access, her body coming in contact with his hard one. His hand moved lower.
He'd been dying to touch her again, to feel her. He moved his other hand, undoing the buttons on her blouse, his hand sliding inside to caress her warm skin. His hand moved lower to caress her breast. His hand pushed past the fabric, his fingers playing with her taunt, aching peak. He heard her muffled groan as he squeezed it gently. He would feel her again, he would. He removed his hand. "Oh you're so perfect, so perfect in every way. I want you so bad, so bad that I ache. Having you this close is just like my dreams." His fingers slid along the band of her underwear. "I want to feel you again, I want your body close to mine as I move within you. Oh Keyana, I want you so bad." Nick groaned, leaning down to kiss along her collarbone.
Have you ever wanted someone so bad
That you really didn't care if they had
Any idea how you feel
Cause your dreams are so real
Please help me
Understand this feeling
I'm dreaming
Your body so appealing
You're committed to someone else
But here in my mind
I have you all to myself
And she wanted him, she wanted him to be a part of her. She could never say it, never say it out loud. Forbidden thoughts, thoughts she shouldn't be thinking. Her eyes closed as she felt his hand move inside her underwear. Her breathing becoming shallow, she prayed he wouldn't stop, just don't let him stop.
He should stop, he should. But no, no he wouldn't. He wanted this just as much as she did. He moved his fingers lower, teasing her. He felt her hips move gently, rocking against his hand. Enough teasing he decided as he moved his fingers again.
Dreamin' of you
Dreamin' everyday
And every night of my life
But someone else is holding you tight
So I'll see you in my dreams girl
I know how your lips taste
And feel though
I've never kissed them for real
So I find myself drifting away
To my secret place
Please help me
Understand this feeling
I'm dreaming
Your body so appealing
You're committed to someone else
But here in my mind
I have you all to myself
She felt his fingers enter her slowly, and her mind reeled. "Nick, shit...shit." She moaned. His fingers moved against her. She wouldn't move, she couldn't do it.
"Keyana, don't, don't fight me baby. Feel it, feel me." He whispered, taking her earlobe into his mouth, his fingers picking up speed. "Just let go."
The strangled moan came from her soul as her hips moved against him. He pressed against her back, his breathing labored. He turned her head, his lips meeting hers. Their tongues dueled and his fingers continued their assault.
"If only you weren't taken. Shit Keyana, you feel so good." Nick panted.
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord, you're in my dreams
But you're committed to someone else
But in my mind
I'll have you all to myself
She felt her body start to tremble and the familiar heat start pouring over her. His fingers moved faster and faster. She couldn't hold back as his name tore from her lips, and he tightened his hold on her as her body tensed around his fingers over and over.
"Keyana, fuck." Nick whispered.
She slumped back on him, her body limp and exhausted. She felt his fingers slide away and felt the loss immediately. His hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer to him.
"Oh Keyana, if only there wasn't someone else. If you weren't committed." Nick whispered, his breathing slowing to normal. "I'll see you in my dreams baby. Where we'll meet and can connect the way we should. I'll see you there." He murmured, letting go of her.
She pulled away to look at him, unreleased passion burned there and yet again he was turning her away. Making her remember she wasn't available, teasing her. Making her want what she couldn't possibly have. She stumbled back, quickly buttoning her pants and blouse. Nick's gaze followed her as she stood, she wanted more, so much more than she could have. She grabbed her coat off the couch and hurried over to the door.
"Keyana?"
She stopped and looked at him.
"See you tonight baby." He whispered.
She closed her eyes briefly before throwing the door open and walking out into the cool night.
Dreamin' of you
Dreamin' everyday
And every night of my life
But someone else is holding you tight
So I'll see you in my dreams girl
Dreamin'-By 98
