Happily Ever After

chapter 7

Hours after I retired to my room, I was curled up in my bed, half expecting Nathan to creep into my room at any moment. But so far, he hadn’t. Thoughts of what had happened between us swirled around in my head, and  I couldn’t get them out. The events of my first time, of how sweet and gentle he was to me, kept rushing through my head. Then to how much of a jerk he turned into, telling me it was only a one night thing, and rubbing Natalie in my face. But then earlier, he apologized, saying I was better, and that he liked me…Could he really mean it? I was just so confused. Somewhere amongst my rushing thoughts, I fell asleep.

                A gentle nudge on the shoulder startled me awake.

                “Anna, are you awake?” Nathan whispered.

                “I am now, what do you want?” I answered groggily.

                “I just want to cuddle. I…I had a bad dream…” I rolled over and looked at him, he looked so frightened. I sighed and lifted my blankets as he swiftly climbed in. I rolled back over, while he wrapped an arm around my waist, and nuzzled his head into my neck. He was so warm. I liked this side of Nathan.  Right as I was at the brink of sleep, Nathan spoke up again.

                “Anna? I really am sorry about the other night… I acted like such a jerk… I took advantage of you, I took something that’s supposed to be very special away from you, and then I was horrible to you. I’m so sorry, Anna. And about earlier? I really am breaking up with Natalie. I think I like you a lot more than I should. Can you forgive me?”

                A silent tear rolled down my cheek at his apology. He was so upset over this. “Ofcourse I can Nathan, just promise me you wont treat me like that ever again, that really hurt.”

                “I promise Anna.” I struggled under his grip to turn around and look at him. I smiled, showing his apology was accepted. He smiled back and lightly pressed his lips on mine.

                 As I pulled away, he resisted, and deepened the kiss. I should have rejected his advance, but I didn’t. I was putty in his capable hands. I eagerly kissed back, happy that he had apologized to me, happy that he liked me. I wrapped my arm around his neck, as his hand gripped harder on my waist. He gently bit my bottom lip, releasing a moan from somewhere down in my throat. He chuckled, and took advantage of my mouth being slightly open. His tongue battled with mine, begging for dominance. I finally surrendered, and let him explore my mouth.  I gasped when his hand smacked down on my ass. He growled in response.

                Nathan quickly rolled me over, throwing himself on top of me, which I welcomed. Our lips moved in perfect sync, and his body thrusted up against mine. It was at this point I realized that I had gone to bed in just an old tshirt and underwear. Not that that bothered Nathan, considering he was currently rubbing his hand over my ass.

                “I want you.” He growled in a husky way.

                “Than have me.” I countered. He groaned and his hand roamed up to my panty line.

                He grabbed my underwear and slid them down to my feet, where I kicked them off. My hands eagerly went to his sweatpants and I pulled them down over his growing erection.  I was once again surprised on how big he was. I was still kind of sore from when we first had sex, would it hurt again? I snapped back to attention as he pulled my hand down towards his member. What if he hurt me again? I shouldn’t be this easy… If he truly cares, he’ll wait.

                “Nathan, I think we should wait. We shouldn’t do this again right yet. I’m… I’m not ready…” I whispered, shamefully.

                “Okay baby, let’s just cuddle.” He smiled and rolled onto his back, swiftly pulling his sweatpants back up, and returning to my side. I smiled, and snuggled further into his embrace. I drifted to sleep in his arms.
