Second Chances

Chapter 24

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope this new year will be better for us all

Sorry if there's any error, i didn't go through it before publishing. Let me know what you think.

"Well........" I started "I know you are not Mason or any of the other crappy boyfriends I've had"

"That's for sure"

"Let me finish" i glared at him and he raised his hands in surrender.

"I want this, us, i want us to be a thing, I want to be able to call you my boyfriend in public"

"Yes!" he stood up and whisper-yelled.

I just raised my brows at him.

"Sorry"  he says as he sits and clears his throat "Please continue" i can still see his lips twitch trying to keep his smile in check.

"I don't want to hurt you but i have to say this so you know how my mind is. I'm not in love with you, yet, I don't know if I can fall for anyone, but i know that I'm totally attracted to you"

"That's a start" he said "You should know by now that I'm not just anyone"

"Thanks for pointing that out" i mumble "Anyway, Maybe, one day I would be able to love, one day if we are still together and it's all going good...that I know I can trust myself... Then maybe, just maybe it'll happen"

He didn't say anything, he was quiet for a long time, i couldn't look at his face because i was scared of what I'm going to find there. He put his hands through my hair, then down my face, a light, feathery touch. He then put his hand on my chin and brought my face up so he can look into my eyes.

"That was pretty honest, and i appreciate it" He said when our eyes met "And I don't mind. I just have to make you fall in love with me then" He whispered "And let me warn you, i always get what i want, and i want you"

It was like my non-existent heart came to life and beat for the first time. I know i sound cheesy but i guess it's a start to falling in love i guess.

"Aren't you going to say anything?" He asked.

"No, i don't mind you working hard to make me fall for you" I smirked.

"Please" he rolled his eyes "it's going to be as easy as pie" 

"Pie isn't easy, i don't know where they came up with that"

He slowly smiled, and that smile looked out of place "I want us to do something" 

"Okay, what do you want to us do?" I asked him suspiciously.

"I want us to........." He trailed off moving close to me.

"What?" I asked breathless looking at his lips.

"To......."he continued as he moves closer still so i can feel his breath. 

"What? Just say it" 

"Okay then" he continued "I want us to talk more" he whispered.

I was honestly disappointed and it showed on my face and body as it felt like i just deflated, and he burst out laughing, typical Nick.

"You should have seen your face" He said between laughs.

I sit back and pouted. 

When he looks at me, he sees the expression on my face and his laughter dies down slowly. 

"Alright, I'm sorry" He said.

I fold my arms and turned away from him.

"Come on, i was just kidding" he whined "Although, i do want us to talk more, so you can know me more"

I still ignore him. He can't play that kind of trick on me and think he'll get away with it that easy, even though I've forgiven him.

"Come on, look at me"

"So you can fool me with that pretty face, no way"

"So, you think my face is pretty" he stated.

I rolled my eyes as i can hear the smirk in his voice. The arrogant idiot. Still, i don't look at me. It becomes quiet when i give him no answer. I figured he's given up. When i felt-rather than saw-him in my line of vision. 

He's in front of me now, crouching, staring at me with those eyes,  eyes that are green as spring grass, and sparkling like dew in the morning sun. It draws me in, making me lost in him especially when I try to pull myself back from staring but I still can't help it. He makes me lose myself, i usually think before doing anything but when i look into his eyes, i lose all my train of thought.

He caresses my face, light, feathered touches, i leaned into his touch and closed my eyes. He continued his caress, drawing lines from one eyebrow to the other, from my brows to my ears, then to my lips and to my neck..

I opened my eyes, lick my lips. It isn't something conscious. It's as if my body is preparing itself, as if it knows what this will feel like even if my mind does not. An ambush. The war is over. He lifts his hand to my mouth, tracking the path of my tongue. It's wet and crude and somehow sweet at the same time.

He moves closer to me so i can feel our breath mingling. I don't know if he's the one who moved or it i did, all i know is that his lips are on mine. He pulls me from the couch so i straddle him as he gets comfortable on the floor. He trails his hands up and down my body before finally settling where he wants them.

One hand hold my face in place for him to do as he please, while the other is on my hips. He does that so he can control my body the way he wants it to. I'm helpless against him, as i moan and run my hands in his hair.

We stay like that for i don't know how long, him invading my mouth with his tongue, i can taste him, smell him, feel him, we are fused together, it's like i don't know where he ends and where i begin.

We continue like that until i couldn't take it anymore. I can't take the ache in between my thighs anymore, i need friction, release, but he holds me, he doesn't let me move.

i tried wiggling, but he holds me down, how does he do that with one hand?  I ask myself, i never knew he was domineering.

I pulled from the kiss, with a lot of difficulty, i might add. 

"Please" I whimpered.

"What do you want?" He asks as his warm, damp lips settled on the nape of my neck and caused me to shudder. My eyes hooded as he touched me, his mouth carved a path, his breath steaming across my skin, I tilted my head to the side to give him more room, and he took it. Fuck, he was good at that. He used both tongue and teeth on the sensitive skin just beneath my ear.

I thought There's no hiding the mark there

"Please" I beg again trying to move, he still doesn't let me.

"Use your words" he whispered in my ear "I'll ask again, what do you want"

"I need you"

He pulled back "That is not telling me what you want"

"Come on, you know what i mean" I groaned.

"Nope, i don't" He says as he removes his hands from me leaving me feeling empty. 

As i was about to answer him, someone knocked and i scrambled to get off his laps. I heard a muttered fuck come from him as i stifled my laughter turning it into a snort.

"Yes?" He asks as he makes his way to the door.

"Tasha, is Dr. Gale with you?" came the reply.

He opened the door and Tasha comes in.

"Sorry to......." She trailed off as she takes a good look at me "Interrupt but there's someone who wants to see you"
