Chapter 34
She looked at the clock...again. She kept looking, not that it'd change drastically in the course of two minutes, but she couldn't help it. He wasn't supposed to be arriving for another hour. For the rest of the day at work she hurried through everything, anticipation of seeing him was driving her crazy. She looked up at that clock again, silently cursing herself, she decided to take a bath. She had time anyway, and it'd make the time go faster. Going over, she opened the door so she could get air circulating through the screen. She never usually locked the screen, she pretty much trusted her neighborhood. She turned and started up to her room.
She gathered her things and stereo and put them into the bathroom, starting the water and adding the bubble bath. She headed downstairs and grabbed some candles out of one of the drawers and grabbed some matches and walked back upstairs and into the bathroom.
Once everything was set, she turned the lights in the bathroom off to be surrounded by soft candlelight. Cracking the door to listen for the phone, she undressed and slipped into the warm water, the bubbles covering her body. She reached over and turned her stereo on and laid her head back, closing her eyes.
Nick knocked on the screen door. "Keyana?" He knocked again and then grabbed the handle, pressing the button and swinging the door open. "Keyana?" Still nothing. He looked around and dropped he pictures on the table by the couch. He was a little early, the meeting with the guys didn't take as long as planned. Confused, Nick searched around. She had to be here, her car was in the driveway. What if Shane had come by and taken her somewhere? She would've left him a note wouldn't she?
Turning to leave he noticed a light on upstairs. Maybe she was in her room. He made his way up the stairs and down the hall to her room. Sticking his head inside, he saw that she wasn't there either. He made a quick survey of the room. Feminine and neat, so unlike him. Chuckling he turned to leave, when he heard a splash. Tilting his head to the side, he made his way back the other way towards the sound. He came to another door, the lights were out, but there was a faint glow emanating from the room. He looked down to see the door was cracked and he slowly, quietly pushed it open.
She didn't know if it was the heat from the water, or the soothing music, but suddenly she drifted off. Immediately her thoughts were of him. Oh she could see him, slowly, casually making his way inside. She could hear him call out to her.
"Keyana..." He whispered.
Her control slipping she moaned as the soft tone of his voice enveloped her.
You come to me
With a casual flow
And suddenly my defenses start to go
When you talk to me
In that sensual tone
It envelopes me
And I loose my self control
He couldn't believe his eyes. There she lay in the bathtub, eyes closed and bubbles covering her body. He called out to her, but it didn't seem like she heard him. He walked further in, the heat and the fragrance from the bubble bath teasing his senses. His eyes never left her as he knelt by the side of the tub. Carefully he reached out and caressed her cheek.
She could feel him there, the scent that clung to him. His stare sweeping over her body. She could see his face so clearly in her mind, imagine his arms around her. Shifting in the water, she moaned as she imagined him reaching out to touch her, to caress her.
And baby I just melt away
Fall like rain
Everytime I see your face I go off
I just wanna break it down
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
He heard her soft moan, closing his eyes against the feeling of her skin under his fingertips. Opening his eyes, he moved his hand then, picking up the cloth on the counter next to him. He dipped it into the sudsy water and brought it up to her body, slowly rubbing her skin.
She felt as his hand moved slowly, tenderly over her sensitive flesh. She moaned, his touch was driving her crazy. She felt his hand move lower, over her chest, and over her breasts. She could see him looking at her, his blue eyes piercing through the clouded haze in the bathroom straight into hers. Her body tingling and weak from her desires, from her thoughts. She was barely aware of his hand, moving further and further down, his name slid from her lips like silk.
"Nick..."She murmured.
His gaze drifted back to hers, startled. Maybe she had seen him, he'd seen her eyes open slightly, but she made no sign of recognition. Hearing his name on her lips like that was almost too much. Slowly, so slowly, he brought the cloth over her full breasts, giving each one equal attention and then lower still.
Imagining, that you're taking it slow
And so tenderly '
Till the feeling overflows
When you look at me
I go soft and cave in
And I can't conceal
That I'm slowly weakening
And baby I just melt away
Fall like rain
Everytime I see your face I go off
I just wanna break it down
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
Close, he was so close to her. Just a little more and he could take her over the edge. Try harder, she couldn't stop now. Not when she wanted it so bad, the touch, the contact. She moved, sliding further down, her breathing becoming labored. Him, only he could do this with a single touch. Her hand came up to her chest, to rest over her heart. The feeling only increased.
Nick watched as her hand came to rest upon her chest. His gaze went to her flushed face as he moved his hand lower, cloth lost in the water, and plunged a finger inside.
Her body arched at the invasion. She moaned at the ecstasy his touch invoked. "Nick, Oh Nick. More, I want it all." She murmured.
A moan escaped his lips as his fingers started moving against her. Pretending that his fingers were him, moving inside her.
You and me
In a cloud of reverie
Spin around inside my head unendingly
Thoughts run wild as I sit and rhapsodize
Paint pretty pictures of what I'd do
If you were mine
She clutched the sides of the tub, her eyes tightly shut. None of her dreams or fantasies had ever been so real, so intense. She felt her body tensing as his name tore from her lips one last time as she tightened again.
"Nick!" She called out.
Nick groaned in frustration, his head thrown back, eyes shut as she tightened once again on his fingers. He felt her body slowly slide back as she rested against the tub. He brought his gaze up to her face, her breathing erratic. Slowly her eyes opened.
"N-Nick?"
Slowly he leaned forward and kissed her lips gently.
Her eyes darted open. "Nick! What, what happened? Why are you here? You're early." She rambled, frantically.
Nick smiled. "I brought the pictures. I left them downstairs."
"P-pictures? Oh right."
"You can take a look at them and get back to me tomorrow."
She nodded weakly. Suddenly as if realizing where she was, she brought her arms up and crossed them protectively over her chest.
Nick chuckled. "I like your bubbles." He whispered.
Her eyes widened, her cheeks becoming a brighter pink.
"I'll see you soon Keyana." Nick whispered, before leaning in and kissing her again . He stood and walked out the door.
Keyana watched as he strolled from the room, the realization hitting her. She hadn't been dreaming.
And baby I just melt away
Fall like rain
Everytime I see your face I go off
I just wanna break it down
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms
