Nathan laughed for the first time since we were on the beach, and his comfort made me feel safe and secure. I knew I didn’t have to worry about anything with him by my side, whether he worked at the company or not. I loved the fact that his father’s money had no effect on him, and that he saw that there was more to living than waiting to die. Nick wasn’t so lucky to understand that, and I didn’t know if he ever would. As for now, it seemed it was just the two of us, and we had to start thinking about our future.
“You aren’t seeing the bigger picture,” Nathan said, calming his laugh. “We are both free to pursue our passions without rules and regulations. Without family and bosses looming over our heads. We can do whatever we want, and we can do it together.”
I liked the sound of that. I liked the idea of facing this uncertain and wavering world with Nathan by my side. I had done it alone for so long that the release of loneliness and worry was almost more than I could bear. I reached up and kissed his lips, tears burning at my eyes. I was excited for the future, even if I didn’t know what it would bring.
“To start, I want to invest heavily in Maria’s bikini line,” he said, surprising me. “She does amazing work. With her creating and you managing, there is no way this company could fail. The only thing I ask is for a seat on the board.”
“Really?” I was more than ecstatic to have someone like Nathan on our team. “I mean, I have to ask Maria how she feels about it, but that is so amazing.”
“Well, what are you waiting for?” He laughed as he watched me turn and run down the walk to the house. I burst through the door calling out Maria’s name. She stuck her head out of her bedroom door, looking around for a fire or emergency of some sort.
“What? What’s wrong?”
“Nothing,” I said, laughing. “Come out here. I want to talk to you about something.”
We sat down in the living room as Maria entered cautiously, smiling nervously at the looks on our faces. She grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and sat down next to me on the couch. She took in a deep breath, readying herself for anything and clapped her hands together.
“Okay, kids, what’s this all about?”
“Nathan quit his job,” I said. smiling.
“Okay,” she said, looking over at him. “And this is a good thing?”
“Yes,” I said excitedly. “He has his sights set on something better.”
“I’ll bite,” she said, setting her water down on the coffee table.
“He wants to heavily invest in our company in exchange for a seat on the board,” I blurted out.
“Wow,” she said, her eyes getting big. “I mean, really? You are so fantastic with money. Yes, I mean. I would love to have you on our team. I’m assuming Ronni’s down with it.”
“Of course,” I laughed.
“Well, shit,” she said with a huge smile. “Let’s do this!”
“We’ll start talking strategy tomorrow,” Nathan said, standing, stretching, and then walking over toward me. “For now, though, I am going to need Ronni to model some of these suits.”
I laughed as he reached down and scooped me up out of the chair, cradling me in his arms. Maria giggled, shaking her head as he walked through the house and into my bedroom. He sat me down on the floor and pushed his hands through my hair, holding my face and looking down in my eyes. My stomach did flip flops as I waited for him to speak.
“I love you Veronica ‘Ronni’ Sanchez,” he cooed. “I loved you before I even knew you, and I’ll love you for the rest of my life.”
“I love you too, Nathan,” I said, tearing up and pressing my lips against his. I could feel my emotions bursting from my chest as our mouths touched together, and we walked backward, falling into the bed.
Slowly, he pulled my tank top over my head and kissed my shoulder as he reached behind my back and unclasped my bra. He pulled the lace bra from my body and threw it to the side, cupping my breast in his hand and taking my nipple into his mouth. He sucked, nibbled, and licked at my tit as his other hand unbuttoned my shorts. I leaned my head back as he moved up, kissing my neck and caressing my body with his hands. He reached down and pulled my shorts off, running his fingertips through the wetness seeping through my panties.
I gasped as he massaged my juicy mound, keeping his eyes on me and his lips on my skin. He hooked his fingers in the sides of my panties and slowly pulled them off, tossing them on the floor. I watched as he sat up on his knees, pulling his shirt over his head and stretching his neck. His pecks moved up and down with his motions, and his now-tanned skin glimmered in the light of the setting sun out the window. He pulled his shorts off, and I could see his throbbing cock bulging in his black boxer briefs.
I reached up and ran my hand over his erection, pulling down on his underwear and watching as his cock bounced out. He grabbed onto his shaft and laid down next to me, running his hand down my body and between my legs. He was in no hurry and I shut my eyes, wanting to feel every second of his warm caress. I let my legs fall to the sides as he pushed apart my folds and rubbed his finger down through my wetness. I moaned as his warm skin rubbed over my nub and back down where he slipped slowly inside of me.
I could feel his breath against my neck as he slowly pleasured my pussy. He nibbled at my ear, and I turned my head, passionately pushing my mouth to his. His tongue enticed my lips to open up, and our tongue intertwined in a lustful and emotional response. As our kissing began to become more heated, so did the motions between my legs. He cupped his hand and rubbed hard against my pussy, causing me to moan into his mouth. With every sound, his touch became quicker and heavier, and I knew he was pushing me toward orgasm.
I lifted my hips slightly from the bed and moved them in a wave against his hand. He reached in and slid two fingers back inside of me, pushing them in and out as his palm slapped against my clit. I gyrated my body in motion with his fingers, feeling the heat of orgasm rising in my stomach. Our lips stayed firmly together, and I screamed loudly into his mouth.
He lifted his body to a sitting position and grabbed onto my breast as I reached back and hooked my fingers into the headboard. He watched my body writhe and twist underneath him as he used his hands to make me come. His eyes darkened, and he licked his lips as my moans picked up speed, building and building to the climax my body was searching for. He pushed his fingers deep inside of me while rubbing my clit with his fingers. As my body moved faster and his hand met my speed, I arched my back and moaned out in ecstasy.
Pleasure exploded from between my legs, traveling upward and through my entire body. I felt him pull his fingers down and push his face between my legs, heightening the effect and prolonging my orgasm. His tongue lapped my juices as they rolled out of me, my hips shaking at every stroke. My nub was hard and sensitive, and as he flicked his tongue against it, I shuddered and laughed, grabbing his head and sinking back down in the bed.
He continued to move his tongue over my pussy, tasting me, caressing me, and bringing a calmness to my shuddering body. His hands slid up my stomach and grasped my breasts as he licked one last time before moving upward toward my face. I reached up and grabbed his cheeks, pulling his mouth into mine and tasting a mixture of orgasm and lust. He laid there, kissing me passionately as he stroked his long, hard shaft. My body
