Chapter One

Angel awoke slowly. The sounds of crying seagulls outside the still open french doors annoyed her mind into conscienceness. The hot Tampa air blew into the room from the Bay ruffling the sheer curtains pulled to the side. Sunlight poured in and made her eyes squint before even opening them fully. Instinctively, she reached for a familiar lump next to her. Not there. "What a shocker." She thought. "Probably went off to play b~ball with Brian." She laid there for some time wondering what to do with her day. She was ready for the night to begin, but of coarse, Nick was no where to be seen. Mulling over the thought, she had to do it.....she couldn't wait. She left the bed and tiptoed to the dresser. 'I gotta see what he wrote'. Just at she was about to grab hold of the pile, she heard the floor board creek down the hall. Angel scrambled back to the bed and jump in. The bedroom door opened and Nick strode through wearing only a towel and drying his hair with another. "Bout time ya woke up!", he said relatively chipper for the morning. He sat on the bed beside her and smoothed down her hair gently. "I gotta go out for about an hour..." He saw the look that was about to engulf her face and quickly added, ".......I'll be back in less than an hour!" He watched her face relax again and kissed her gently on the lips. "One hour. Then you won't be rid of me for a long time!" "Where are you going?", she inquired rubbing a few water droplets into his chest. "Just gotta pick up a few things.....don't worry about it." And with that he headed for his closet. She lazily watched him untuck the towel from around his waist and toss it on the floor. Angel rolled her eyes knowing she'll be the one picking it up later. But for now, she watched him maneuver through his closet searching for attire for the day. He pulled out a white tank top and his cut~offs, and still naked as the day is long, made his way to the back of the closet and bent over to find his left shoe, giving Angel an eyeful indeed. "WHEW HOO!! LOOK AT THAT ASS!!!" Nick turned around slightly and gave her his best Carter grin. He got dressed and kissed her one last time.... "Be home soon!" he smiled. Making his way out the door, he stopped and stuck his head back in, smiling. "Hey Babe~ stay outta the dresser drawer." She looked at him surprised and threw the nearest pillow at him. While he was gone, she took the liberty to do all the necessary girl things. And feeling refreshed and satisfied with herself, she fixed up the house a bit starting with his towel. When Nick returned, he had a paper bag in his hands and she found him emptying some of it in the fridge. "Energy boosters for later." He smiled wiggling his eyebrows at her. "What else ya got there??" Angel inquired about to sneak a peek in his bag. "Nothing you need to see now." He said as he snatched the bag back and headed up the steps. The day was spent by the pool. They talked like they always have. About anything and everything. Playing with the pugs and fooling around in the pool. But each of them was silently waiting for the sun to go down. NIGHT ONE Nick had made them dinner and they relaxed in the living room with their plates of spaghetti and bread. But as soon as the meal was eaten and the dishes done, Angel gave Nick a look and they raced each other up the stairs. Tripping Nick halfway up, she beat him up the steps and declared herself the victor. "Well, lets see who wins the most important game...." he slyly offered. They headed into the room, Angel shutting the door behind him so there were no unwelcome puppies interfering later. Nick went to the drawer and pulled out the pile and made his way to the bed. Angel sat before him, anxiously. "OK~ I'm gonna shuffle up the six papers, and the fantasy that comes out, whether yours or mine will be fulfilled tonight." Like a little kid ready to play his favorite game, he asked, "Ya ready?" Angel nodded her head, staring at the papers in his hands. Nick shuffled, then offered them to Angel to pick one. She pulled one outta the middle. "Read it." He stated. "WHEW HOO!!! IT'S MINE!!!" she yelled again in victory. He rolled his eyes and smiled in his defeat. "Well, what is it?" Angel handed the paper to Nick and watched as he read. ~*Firelight. Like that time last winter*~ Nick smiled knowing exactly what she meant. "Your wish is my command." He got up from the bed and made his way to the large fireplace in the corner of the bedroom. Taking out the newspapers and matches he went to work building her the perfect fire. Angel opened up the french doors again and felt the rush of cool night air. The sheer curtains billowed out in front of her casting a romantic scene. She scanned the sky and didn't have to look hard. An almost full moon beamed down on her brightly. She smiled at the perfection of it all. Turning back in, Nick was finishing up and had already gotten the rest of the room ready. She looked over their now transformed corner of the room. A huge fire roared in its place, crackling and popping. The heat enveloped her as she stepped closer. Nick had gotten her favorite blankets outta the closet. Thick, hunter green and velvet, bought onsale at Target for $50.00. Her best find ever. He spread them out in front of the fire and threw a bunch of little matching green and burgundy pillows down for good measure. Adding the fluffy down~feather ones from their bed, he took a step back, satisfied with his work. Angel had gone back to the doors and was gazing out at the night sky. Nick stood for a moment and watched her. The shine in her eyes, the slight smile on her lips...she makes him melt. He gingerly stepped over his makeshift bed and made his way to her. He slid his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. Angel instinctively leaned into him and placed her hands above his silently. "Whatcha thinkin bout?" he asked her quietly, nuzzling his nose into her hair. Angel smiled, reached up with one arm and gracefully stroked the side of his face with her fingertips. "I was just thinkin about that night. It was like magic....It couldn't have been better." She sighed remembering their first night together. "I know, babe. But tonight will be even better...." he promised. Angel turned in his arms to face him, her arms wrapping around his back. Nick took hold of her face and cupped it in his large hands forcing her to look at him. "You knew how much I loved you then, and I love you even more now." And with that statement, he bent his head down and gently kissed her. His lips brushed lightly over hers, sending a tingle down her back. He lifted his head for a moment, looking into her eyes and closed his own. His mouth found hers again and gently probed her lips with the tip his tongue. She allowed access and relaxed letting him take control. His tongue swept the roof of her mouth, gliding over her teeth and back again. When he released her, they were both outta breath. "Whew....lets take this elsewhere, shall we?" he asked, taking her hand and guiding her to her designated spot on the blankets. She knelt before him, as he took off his tank top. Staring up at his towering figure from her spot, she began the journey she took so long ago. Her hands worked at his button. Undoing it, she slowly unzipped his shorts and with one glance into his eyes, it had begun. She saw the want in his face, the love and the need, all wrapped into one look. The firelight played with the shadows on his face, making his body glow. His tan skin looked so smooth and soft. His hands hung at his sides waiting for her next move. He remembered every detail of that night, and was determined to make it the same for her. Angel gently tugged at the hem of his shorts and slowly eased them down his thighs. Letting go, they pooled at his feet. He stepped out and kicked them to the side. He stood naked before her, this beautiful creature she had come to know so well. Her eyes took in every inch of him. His blonde hair lay flipped over to the side, his dark eyes staring back at her waiting. His lips, parted slightly, glistened, tempting her. She scanned his body with her eyes wanting to remember every detail. His arms were strong, speckled here and there with his tattoos.... His stomach, flatter than before but still with the hint of a tummy.... His legs, so strong and well muscled.... Nick brought her out of her trance and bent down to her level. He knelt with her, running a hand through her hair. His mouth sought hers as his hands found the bottom of her T~shirt. Lifting it over her head, he tossed that with his own in the other corner. His gaze left her eyes and fell to her chest. Finding the clasp in the front, he heard her take a sharp breath as he peeled away the fabric. Tossing that aside, he bent his head to her nipple and gently ran his bottom lip over and back again, bringing it to a hard peak. Angel held her breath for a second and moaned softly as Nick let his tongue flick in and out tugging at her. "Please Nick...." He heard her, but didn't listen. His other hand mimicked his mouth on her other nipple causing her to bend forward slightly. Smiling to himself, he relented and with one last strong lick, enveloped her into his warm mouth. "Oh yeah, Nicky....." her voice trailed off. She squeezed her eyes shut as his teeth clamped down for a second, then released to lick away the slight pain. He sucked on her for a few moments, releasing only to reattach stronger. Angel's mind rushed in the waves of pleasure, relishing the moment. Nick kissed his way up to her neck, behind her ear and planted a few wet kisses there. Leaning back, he looked into her now open eyes. His fingers undid the tie to her shorts and in one fluid movement, had her back to the floor, sliding her shorts and panties off and thrown away. Nick knelt in front of her, taking in her beauty. Her dark, auburn hair splayed out over a green pillow, the light making shadows dance over her naked body. He gently parted her legs to fit his body between them and made himself comfortable, laying on top of her. Nick licked and sucked his way down her body, his hands everywhere. Angel felt the sensations overwhelming her. His light touches sensitizing her skin to every stroke, every feeling leaving her lightheaded. He parted her legs wider and nibbled on her inner thigh, then every few moments, sweeping his tongue over her slit quickly, only to return to her leg, causing Angel to gasp her excitement. "No more Nick, please....." Angel wasn't even able to finish her plea. Nick, using both his hands, spread her apart. Starting from the dip of her hole, he dragged his tongue forcefully over her all the way to the tip. Stopping there, he gently sucked on her til he could feel her swelling from his work. Sliding his tongue down to the beginning and starting over again, he worked his technique several times. Angel's breath was erratic and he knew she was close. He kept up his barrage in between her legs while reaching for a breast now and again to rub a nipple. She caught his hand on the last sweep and held it tightly for a second. He understood. In the heat and the passion emitting from her, that was her way of telling his he's doing REAL good. He felt her tightening and knew she was nearer now. He nosed his face right into her being and licked as hard and as fast as his tongue would allow. Angel opened her eyes for a moment and glanced down at his. Their eyes met for a split second and that pushed her over the edge. Blackness swirled in her mind as wave after wave washed over her whole body. Her hips bucked into his face and her juices flowed out of her only to be lapped up by Nick's waiting mouth. Angel's heart beat so hard in her chest, she was sure he could hear it. Her senses slowly returned to her. Nick was keeping himself busy while he waited. He kissed her thighs and made his way up her body back to her mouth. Her breathing somewhat back to normal, she kissed him passionately, silently thanking him for a job well done. The heat from the fire threatened to cause a major meltdown to her body. She could barely feel the slight breeze flowing in from the doors, her body was on fire and all her skin felt was Nick's body warmth and the searing heat from the flames. And there's no other way she would have wanted it. Angel could feel he was ready just as she was. She looked deeply into his eyes telling him she was in need too. Her whole body ached for him, the need to have him inside her, building. Settling his weight on her, he stared into her eyes and slowly slid himself into her, stretching her. Angel lost her breath. Whether it be from Nick's weight on her, or her new addition inside her. She gasped in pleasure as he pulled out slowly and slid himself in all the way to his base. "OH NICK! You feel so good......" she managed to get out. He dipped his head into the crook of her neck and continued his onslaught. His cock slid in and out slow, then fast, then slow again. Her walls stretched with his girth and she groaned at every entry he made. Angel's nails raked down his back and grabbed ahold of his ample ass, encouraging him for more. "Faster Nicky, please....." she whispered in his ear. He obliged and ground his hips into hers again and again, his rhythm at a steady pace now. Nick bent his head and lost himself in the scent of her hair and her neck. The muscles in his back strained at the exertion being asked. He quickened his pace, feeling the tightening of her cunt around him. Angel wanted to savor the moment. She opened her eyes and watched Nick do his thing. His eyes closed tightly, his lips slightly parted in his attempt to take in more air to his rushing lungs, he pushed himself more and more with every thrust deeper within her. Angel touched his forehead, wiping away some of the sweat that beaded there. Nick opened his eyes and found her staring back at him. He grinned the best he could and went about his slamming. "Nicky.....look at me." He reopened his eyes and stared down on her lovingly. They held their eye contact as he continued his pounding into her hole. Angel held onto his arms trying to get a grasp as he rammed her. "Let it go, baby..." he whispered. She shut her eyes and allowed the feelings to overtake her once again. She fixed her arms around his back, feeling his muscles strain with every hard thrust, his skin slick with sweat. As her orgasm hit her, Nick's member gripped tightly within her, sending him hurtling into his own world. He slammed into her with a few more thrusts before spilling his load to mix with hers. Angel felt his sweet warmth fill her and rush out. Nick let out a loud groan and collapsed on top of her. Catching their breath, Angel having a hard time with him still on her, full weight. Beads of sweat slid down her legs and off his back. They lay there for a few moments, breathing coming back to normal but still unable to move. The sounds of cracking and popping of the fire filled the room and lulled them into a sleepy state. Angel nudged Nick. "Nicky...hon....I ....can't .....breathe ." she got out somehow. ".........too heavy?" he mumbled sleepily. He pulled out of her, both of them grunting as he disengaged himself from inside her, and moved his body to her side, wrapping her up into his arms, spooning her. He reached down, grabbing the end of the velvet blanket and pulled it over both of them, tucking it in around her and finally resting his arm around her waist. Angel leaned back into him, her head resting on his arm, feeling the warmth of him, the weight of his leg, wrapped around her own. They both gazed into the firelight. Watching the flames dance and make living shadows along the walls. There were no words that needed to be spoken. It was just as it had been that first night. A tear slipped from the corner of her eye. She smiled to herself and fell asleep with the feel of his breath on her ear and the rise and fall of his chest against her back. Just like before. A few hours later.... Angel stirred in her sleep. Was she dreaming? What was this feeling? No, she wasn't dreaming she slowly realized. She opened her eyes. The fire was dwindling but still burning strong. She took a deep breath and inhaled the scent of the crackling wood. It was then that she fully felt what had awakened her from her deep sleep. She leaned back harder against Nick's chest, tilting her pelvis closer for him. Nick had awakened during the night, his arm completely numb from not moving under Angel's head for hours. The constant popping of the fire kept him awake and unable to fall back asleep. Absentmindedly, he slowly ran his hand up and down the length of Angel's side. Her skin felt so soft underneath his fingers. He trailed his fingertips over her hip and back up to her arm. He felt her shiver slightly and decided he didn't want to be alone in the night any longer. Her traced her side one last time, and stopping just underneath her breast, thumbing her nipple softly. Angel sighed in her sleep. Slightly discouraged, Nick trailed his large hand back down to her hip. He moved her leg slightly more towards him, spreading them a bit. His fingertips traced along her lower lips feeling the warmth emitting from her. Needing to feel her velvety insides, Nick slipped his fingers between her folds. She was still moist form their excursions earlier. His fingers moved easily in and around her. Angel stirred, breathing in deeply and sighing. Still not satisfied, Nick slipped a long index finger within her, rubbing her walls. She turned her head slightly, eyes still closed. He decided to wake her up the best way he knew how. Releasing his finger from her core, he slowly made his way through the folds of her warmth and found what he was searching for. Rubbing gently and slowly.... he loved the feel of her insides. Soft, warm and satin~y. Angel sighed again and twisted her hips closer to his fingers. He watched her face intently, searching for signs of life. His fingers worked at her in a slow, deliberate manner, stroking in circles. Her eyes fluttered open, staring straight ahead into the flames. His eyes widened in triumph. Angel moaned softly and turned her head towards his chest, and nuzzling his neck with her nose, closing her eyes again. She breathed in deeply as Nick continued his patterns on her clit. He bent his head slightly and sweetly kissed her neck several times. Angel moaned her approval. "oh Nicky..." she whispered. He smiled, happy he had done what he set out to, and ready to finish the job. She felt his fingers quicken their pace. He inserted one, then two into her. Her walls instantly clenching. His thumb rubbed her swollen clit softly and he listened to her breathing become heavier. Watching her face intently, he sped up his pace. Angel breathed through her mouth, her eyes shut tight. She slid her arm behind her and grasped Nick's hip, pulling him even closer to her body. She could feel his excitement mirroring hers and pressing into the small of her back. A vision of Nick's naked body pressed into hers turned her on even more. And with that thought and Nick's fingers rubbing her inside and out, her juices flowed freely coating Nick's hand in a slick mess. She rode his fingers to the last wave and slumped back into his arms, panting. Now hard as a steel pole, Nick had to put it somewhere. Before she even recovered, Angel felt Nick's strong hand lift her leg up and over onto his. Pulling her body closer to his chest, he inserted his thick cock into her, groaning at the tightness this position offered. He leaned his face into her neck, closing his eyes. Angel grabbed hold of his arm and wrapped it round her waist holding it tight. He took her lead and leaned his body slightly, giving him more room to move. She was soaking wet and he slid in & out easily at a fevered pace. Angel clenched her muscles tightly as he thrust up into her. He gripped her stomach roughly, as he hit his peak and grunted loudly in her ear, spurting his liquid into her. Angel felt his body go limp behind her, but he did not pull out of her. She nestled closer into his arms, listening to his labored breathing. They stayed like that, no longer two people, but one being, sleep overtaking them both in minutes.
