Natalie tightened her embrace on Nicholas every time the lightning boomed outside. It was very quiet, no one spoke. Natalie with her fear, Nicholas with his calmness. The man was so calm as he stroked Natalie's hair gently, he wanted the woman he loved to feel safe and comfortable when she was by his side.
Natalie looked up, for some reason eager to look at Nicholas. Her heart raced even faster when the blonde man returned her gaze. For a few seconds they stared at each other, until finally Natalie was the one who broke the gaze by sinking her face back into Nicholas' chest.
Nicholas smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you still scared?"
"A little, are you uncomfortable holding me?"
"No way. I'm very happy in this condition."
"Looking for an opportunity in a tight spot, huh?"
"While there is a chance, I will not waste it."
Natalie smiled in response, she looked back up at the man again. For some reason, she felt the urge to tease Nicholas.
"What is it, Nat? Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Nicholas asked. His hand tucked a few strands of Natalie's hair behind her earlobe. He wanted to look at Natalie's beautiful face without any obstruction.
Natalie shook her head softly, still staring at Nicholas. It was her hands that held Nicholas tightly especially when the lightning was still flashing without any sign of stopping. She wondered what Nicholas was thinking when he was in this condition. His hand rose up slightly, suddenly thinking of touching Nicholas' chest.
"You're beating so fast, Nic," Natalie said.
"Don't touch." Nicholas took Natalie's hand from his chest, placing it back on his waist.
"Why?" Natalie asked innocently, intent on teasing Nicholas. She wanted to know what the blonde man would do under very favorable circumstances for men. Trapped in the rain in a room with minimal light.
"You know the answer too."
"I don't know."
"Natalie, trying to tease me?" Nicholas asked pinching Natalie's life.
"Haha, right. So that I don't focus on the sound of lightning, so it's better to tease you," Natalie replied, smiling and showing her row of neat, white teeth.
Nicholas was speechless, he was starting to lose his mind. The big hand was now holding Natalie's cheek, what he had always wanted to do, the desire was getting stronger. "Nat, can I kiss you?"
Natalie was a little surprised, soon chuckled softly. "If I say no, what will you do?"
"Of course I wouldn't kiss you," Nicholas replied suddenly lethargic.
"If I say yes?"
"You want it?"
"I'm still asking."
"I will," Nicholas replied as he stroked Natalie's cheek with his thumb. His blue eyes continued to stare intently at her with no intention of looking away. Natalie's beautiful face really made him seem to forget the world, his feelings were getting stronger to make Natalie completely his. "So what's your answer?"
"Why do you have to ask? Why not just do it?" Natalie asked, making Nicholas flabbergasted. He understood that Natalie was teasing him.
"I don't want to do something if you don't want me to," Nicholas replied.
"Hoo, you're a gentleman, huh?"
Nicholas did not respond to Natalie's words, began to lift Natalie's chin and slowly, he brought his face closer to kiss the lips of the woman he loved. Only a brief peck, because if he continued he was afraid of crossing the line and making Natalie uncomfortable.
"So that's all you kissed me for?" Natalie asked after the brief kiss ended.
"Don't keep teasing me, I'm a man, Nat," Nicholas replied taking Natalie's hand and bringing it to his chest. To let her know how his heart was doing after the kiss.
"Wow, it feels like your heart is going to explode," Natalie chuckled.
"You didn't feel it?"
"Eh?" Natalie looked back at Nicholas, slightly stunned as the man's gaze grew more serious.
"Don't you get heart palpitations when you're by my side?"
"Under what conditions?"
"The current condition."
"I don't want to answer." Natalie withdrew her hand, she intended to move to Nicholas' back but the blonde man stopped her.
"Why did you run away?"
"I-I didn't!"
Nicholas lifted Natalie's chin again so that she would just stare at him without looking the other way. "Answer me, would you rather have me ask or do it straight away?"
"Why are you asking me that?"
"I want to know."
"Just do it," Natalie replied with a smile, as if challenging Nicholas to do it. She does not know where she got the courage to make it like this. She did not deny that her heart was racing just like Nicholas. However, she could not possibly answer honestly because she felt it was very embarrassing.
Nicholas was annoyed because he kept being challenged. Finally he kissed Natalie again, but this time it was not just a short peck. Nicholas pressed Natalie's nape to deepen the kiss, gently crushing Natalie's pink lips that always looked tempting and he had longed to taste them. Natalie's lips were sweet, making Nicholas want to taste them even more than this.
Meanwhile, Natalie began to enjoy what Nicholas was doing to her. She would not lie if she enjoyed Nicholas' kiss and finally returned the man's lips. Her slender hands traveled to Nicholas' neck, stroking it gently. It did not last long, as she moved up to the back of Nicholas' head and pulled him slightly.
The kiss was getting hotter, the naughty voice was getting louder. Before long, Nicholas broke the kiss, their saliva was released. Nicholas rubbed Natalie's increasingly red lips, her teasing level rose more than one hundred percent. Plus the expression Natalie showed made Nicholas lose his mind even more. "Can I do more than this?" asked Nicholas.
"Why do you always ask?"
Nicholas got up from his bed, switching positions to be on top of Natalie's body after getting indirect approval from the woman. He again crushed Natalie's lips that would become his favorite, his heart danced with pleasure because Natalie did not resist at all and actually returned his kiss. Their bodies were getting closer without any barrier except their own clothes.
Until finally, Natalie unconsciously lifted the shirt that Nicholas was wearing. The man was a little surprised, broke the kiss and looked down at what Natalie was doing. He smiled meaningfully, bringing Natalie's hands to raise his shirt more firmly until his six-pack abs were visible. Natalie swallowed her saliva roughly, faced with a sexy body like this how could her libido not rise.
Without saying anything and on his own initiative, Nicholas took off his shirt. His upper body was even more clearly printed. Natalie spontaneously closed her mouth, who would not be crazy if faced with a beautiful view like this even though the room light was not so bright. However, Natalie can still see it vaguely.
Nicholas again brought himself closer to Natalie, making her hold her breath for an instant. "Do you still want to continue?" Nicholas asked as he pulled Natalie's hand away from his mouth.
Natalie bit her lower lip, now she was in danger. She should not have teased Nicholas too much if she did not want something like this to happen. However, she could not resist the charm of this man on top of her!
Natalie grabbed Nicholas' broad shoulders and replied, "I told you there was no need to ask."
