Letting Go 🤎

Six

Nick walked nervously up to Isabelle the following morning before rehearsal. "I um.. I just wanted to apologize for kissing you last night."

Isabelle chuckled, "that bad, huh?"

"No! That's not what I meant. I..."

She shook her head, "it's fine. It was good Nick. Best kiss I've had in a while. I'm just not sure that it's a good idea right now. And not just because you work for me."

Nick nodded, looking at the ground, "yeah. Of course. I'm sorry again."

Isabelle groaned as she watched Nick walk away like a lost puppy as she stood up from her stool. She grabbed his hand to make him follow her. She sighed, leading him back to her office.

"I didn't even know you had an office."

"I like to work in the bar. I don't like to hide, normally." She set her stuff down before closing the door behind Nick. "It really isn't you, okay? I think you're crazy hot and you're incredibly sweet. I just can't handle any emotional entanglements at the moment. I am emotionally drained enough as it is. Please understand."

Nick nodded, bringing his hand up to her cheek, "you could talk to me about it, whatever it is."

She sighed, placing her hand on his on her cheek, "I... I don't want to. I'm no good at opening up to anyone."

He nodded again, his eyes searching hers as she kept her hand on his. "Okay." He felt his heart race as he pressed his lips to hers, hearing her groan before she wrapped her arms around his neck. He pushed her back against the door as the kiss quickly became far more aggressive than it had the night before.

She pulled her dress up, letting her panties fall to the floor as she undid Nick's jeans, pulling his erect cock from his pants as he moaned. She stroked it firmly before he lifted her, lowering her onto him as he thrusted into her urgently, his mouth never leaving hers.

He heard her whimper as she clung to him firmly as they let their bodies taking over, not thinking or feeling anything but each other. He heard her moaning a little too loudly as he felt her clenching hard around him as he groaned, speeding up as he felt his cock swell, emptying deep inside her. He sighed, pulling away as he set her on her feet, watching her pull her panties back on as he fixed his jeans. "Right.. that was."

"Amazing. I know." She smiled as she heard him chuckle. "I don't know what just happened."

Nick shrugged, "no emotional entanglements, just stress relief."

Isabelle laughed, "I like that." She panted, sitting at her desk, "it was... needed for sure. Thank you."

He smiled, leaning on her desk on his hands, "for me too. You're amazing and beautiful Isabelle. And if that's all you can offer right now, who am I to say no?"

She giggled, standing up as he stood up straight. She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him again. "Are you ready to talk about that girl that came to the lounge?"

Nick groaned, "not really." He rested his head against hers as she laughed.

"Okay then. I'm not looking to open up either right now. Okay?"

He sighed, "fair enough."

"Good, now get out and go rehearse with the band."

Nick laughed, "yes ma'am." He turned back to her from the door, "I do love a bossy woman."

Isabelle blushed slightly, shaking her head as she watched Nick leave her office. She sighed, resting her head back as she replayed their quick encounter, already wanting another one.

Isabelle was just finishing up rehearsing when she watched Eddie run in, followed by Stephen. She saw he looked upset as she approached him, "what is it?"

"Beth just isn't having the best day again, I may have to take her into the hospital. Can you take Eddie overnight for me? Would be a big help."

"Oh my god, of course I can Steve." She grabbed his hand, "are you okay big brother?"

He shrugged, resting his forehead against hers, "I'm fine because I have to be. Just take care of my son for me?"

"Yeah. Always." She turned around after he left to see Eddie talking to Nick. She walked over to them, looking at Eddie, "want to go ice skating?"

"Can we?"

She laughed, nodding, "yeah. Of course." She hesitated before looking at Nick, "do you want to come with us?"

Nick grinned, "yeah. I'd love to."

She sighed, "well come on then." She heard him chuckle as he grabbed both their coats, helping her into hers before putting on his own.

Eddie grabbed her hand as they walked, "is Nick your boyfriend?"

Isabelle laughed, "no. We're just friends."

Eddie nodded, "okay."

She looked up at Nick as he smiled at her, pulling his collar up over his neck.
