Chapter 21

 Ainsley

“You know that I can walk by myself.” I laugh as Nathan shows me every room in the house.

I’m still over his shoulder as he tells me the history of the home and I’m enthralled at everything he knows. The house was built in 1897 and the kitchen and bathrooms have all been modernized with new fixtures. There are seven bedrooms with their own bathrooms which all have claw foot tubs. The kitchen is large with dark hickory cabinets and white granite counters. All the appliances were stainless steel and brand new; I thought the kitchen at home was my dream kitchen, but this one is really competing.

“I know you can walk, but I like carrying you. Now it’s time to go to my favorite room in the entire house.” He says as he walks up another flight of stairs on the second floor.

Nathan finally sets me on my feet once we are up the stairs and facing set of French doors. I glance over at Nathan and he is watching my intensely which makes my stomach twist in excitement and nerves, but the good kind. He moves forward and opens the doors before letting me go in first.

My eyes widen as I take in the room that I know will be ours. The walls were a dusky dark blue that makes the white trim pop more. On the wall on the left is a canopy bed that was breath taking with white sheer fabric contrasting against the dark wood on the bed and the comforter is a mixture of blues and crisp white. Across from the bed is a beautiful white marble fireplace with a thick white mantle and built in bookcases flank either side. Facing the fireplace are two reading chairs in pale blue that are mix matching, but complement one another. Directly across from the French doors is a large stain glass window in blues, yellow, greens, and reds. Below the window is a window sit with fluffy pillows and a navy throw blanket. Lastly, I notice a door on the same wall as fireplace that’s open and I see white tile making that the master bath.

“I take it that you like it.” Nathan whispers in my ear.

Turning around I look up at him and say, “It’s amazing; the whole house is amazing.”

He trails his hand along my arm going up to my neck and then settling it on my cheek. I close my eyes at his warmth and lean into his hand causing me to sighing softly. A second later I feel Nathan nuzzling the right side of my neck and my body instantly heats up.

“Did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?” He asks into my neck.

Laughing, I answer, “Yes, multiply times.”

“Well you look beautiful and I can’t wait to get you out of that dress.” He says before kissing my collar bone and I moan softly.

He continues to kiss my neck and my heart beats faster. His powerful hands circle my waist and keeps me from tumbling to the wood floors.

“Nathan…” I moan out when he begins kissing my jaw.

Nathan pauses and leans his head against mine before saying, “I love how you call me Nathan; everyone calls me Nate.”

We stay like that and I feel bold so I unzip my dress on the side, letting it drop to the floor. I’m in nothing, but a cream strapless lace bra and pantie set. Nathan’s eyes never leave mine as he skims his hand down my back and onto my hips. I see the hunger and love in his eyes that remind me of the water at Alabama Point in Orange Beach.

With little effort, he picks me and I circle my legs around him while he takes us to the bed. He lays me down in the center and steps back to slip off his suit jacket, tie, and shirt. Next he unbuckles his belt and unfastens his pants letting them fall to the ground. My mouth dries as he looks down at me with a smirk playing on his lips that I want on mine.
