Nothing Left To Fear (Book 1 of 2)

Further Explanation

Thursday

Brianna’s POV:

After the talk I had with Nathan a couple hours ago, I couldn’t go back to sleep. There was so much I wanted to tell him but I just couldn’t. I know he’s worried, but the less he knows, the better. I felt really guilty for running away from him because he never came back downstairs. It’s been two hours and he still wasn’t back so I went to look for him. When I left the living room and headed for the stairs, I laid eyes on Nathan. He was just sitting there with his head in his hands. Instantly, guilt took over and I felt like the worst person in the world. I wanted him to feel better and know that I care about him, so I walked over, sat down, and started talking.

Me: “Hey. Where’d you go after this morning?”

Nathan: “Right here.”

Me: “How long have you been here?”

Nathan: “Ever since you ran outta the bathroom.” I could hear the sadness in his voice.

Me: “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for that to be the case.” Nathan didn’t respond so I decided to try and get his attention. “Can you look at me?”

Nathan: “Why? So you can run away again?” I know that he was hurting and I didn’t wanna make it any worse.

Me: “Nathan please look at me.” He slowly raised his head and dropped his hands. “Thank you.  Now I can do this.”

Nathan: “Do wha-”He was cut off by lips crashing into his.

I guess you could say that Nathan was taken aback by the kiss but he soon got into it. He pulled me on top of him, so that I was straddling him. I guess we got caught up in the moment because the next thing I knew, Nathan had his hands around my waist while I ran my fingers through his hair. The passion between us continued to escalate and soon enough, Nathan’s tongue was grazing my bottom lip asking for entry. It didn’t take me long before I parted my lips and he slipped his tongue into my mouth. The taste of mint on his tongue made the kiss so much better. I know I’m weird.

Once this moment started, I knew that I didn’t want it to end. And I remember that I said that we would touch until he asked but I couldn’t help myself. He’s the only guy I feel like I can trust, apart from my brother. I was ripped from my thoughts when Nathan removed his lips from mine and attached them to my neck. He began placing kisses down my jaw and to my neck. I know it’s cliché but I felt like I was on cloud nine. His kisses were so soft and loving. I could get used to this. I moaned as Nathan started sucking on my neck. “Nathan,” I gasped, “are you marking me?” I think he was marking me. Was he claiming me? “Maybe I am. I don’t want anybody else to have you.” I groaned when Nathan stopped talking and continue his ‘work.’ His lips slowly traveled from my neck to my collarbone causing a louder moan. “Soft spot, huh?” He said with a wink. I couldn’t find any words in the heat of the moment so I just nodded.

The stairs were sorta getting uncomfortable, so I pressed my hands to Nathan’s chest to get him to stop. “What? Why are we stopping?” He was so cute when he didn’t know what was going on. I got off his lap and pulled him up. We headed towards the kitchen but I stopped to check the living room to make sure that nobody woke up. Then I went back to Nathan in the kitchen. “What? Are you hungry?” I shook my head and then pulled him towards the island. I hopped up onto the island and pulled him towards me. We were only millimeters apart but I wanted him closer. “You still think I’m hungry?” I said while staring into his eyes. He shook his head before closing the gap between us with another passionate kiss. This time it was me who broke the kiss. A look of disappointment flashed in his eyes before I connected my lips to his neck.
