Forbidden

Chapter Fourteen

Nick walked behind Olivia with his arms wrapped around her waist as they made their way into the kitchen. She set herself up onto the counter and watched as Nick grabbed the brownie mix and all of the ingredients before setting them all onto the kitchen island.

“Could you reach up right behind you and grab me a mixing bowl?”

                Olivia turned her head and one handedly opened the cabinet, immediately seeing and grabbing the bowl.

“Think fast,” she said as she tossed the bowl through the air.

                He caught it in time and looked at her with a fake scowl on his face.

“That could’ve knocked me out.”

“It wasn’t even close, you big girl,” she laughed.

“I thought you said you were going to help?”

“Actually, you basically forced me to help. I had other things on my mind.”

                Nick walked over and turned on a small CD player that was nestled next to a bread box. Van Morrison’s “I’ll Be Your Lover Too” came blaring through the speakers.

“Are you gonna strip for me if I bake your brownies?” Olivia asked playfully.

“I was hoping you’d be doin’ the stripping. No?”

“I don’t know. You kind of shunned me away a minute ago. I’m feeling a little rejected at the moment.”

                Nick moved towards her and wrapped his strong, muscular arms around Olivia’s hips and kissed her on her shoulder.

“You’re helping,” he said as he picked her off of the counter.

She wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed his neck softly as the music echoed through the house. The sweet classic played as beautiful background music. Nick sat Olivia down carefully and she started slightly swaying her almost bare hips to the sound. She mixed the brownies slowly and Nick stood behind her, pressing all of him onto her. He moved her hair off of her back and kissed her spine and the very back of her neck. Olivia closed her eyes, taking in the moment and the sensations her body was feeling.

Nick took the spoon out of Olivia’s hand and laid it in the bowl of brownie mix before slowly turning her around. Their eyes met and Olivia felt a fire burning deep inside of her. The music completely set the mood, making it feel movie-like. He grabbed her leg, pulling it from the floor and rubbed her inner thigh as they stood against the kitchen island. She tilted her head back and Nick kissed the front of her neck, making Olivia want to squirm. His breath was warm and inviting, but Olivia still had chills regardless.

He bent down, kissing her chest, and knelt down on his knees and started caressing her toned stomach. He pushed his ear to her belly and she rubbed his head as she stood above him, looking down at his muscular back and she noticed a tattoo of his last across the top of his back.

He came back up, kissing her body with his tongue as he did. Olivia wanted him more than she’d ever wanted anything. Their eyes met again and she could see the hunger burning in them. He traced her arm up and down with his thumb and Olivia rested her head on his shoulder.

“Quit doin’ this to me,” she said seriously.

“I can’t help it. I can’t keep my hands off of you,” he whispered.

“Then do what I know you want to do.”

“It’s too soon, Olivia. I don’t want to ruin . . . this.”
