Chereads / Hold Me Close (R18) / Chapter 17 - Promise

Chapter 17 - Promise

"Uhhrr...Mmm. Oh fuck-Mmm! God Dang!" Nic's unfiltered grunts of passion lingered in the air as Rose laid on top of him, kissing him desperately.

She tried to imitate him by sucking and biting his lips before fighting his tongue in his mouth. Although weak and clueless, she was persistent in her efforts. The moans and groans coming out of the man showed she was doing something right and encouraged her to continue her advances.

-•-•-

Earlier...

After turning his tank top into a make-shift "dress", Rose followed Nic into the dining area and filled her stomach with his homemade pancakes.

But before she could even swallow the last bite, Nic urgently pounced on her, as if he couldn't wait any longer. Pushing past her pink lips and diving into her mouth, he could taste the pancakes she just ate, now sweetened by her saliva.

He licked her mouth clean like a hungry beast and looked directly into her trembling blue eyes with a smug smirk. "Delicious."

Expecting her to blush and look away, Nic was stunned when Rose latched onto him. She pressed her body against his and wrapped her arms around his neck before leaning in to continue the kiss.

Nic was so surprised and amused by her sudden attack, he decided to follow her flow for the meantime. To see how far she'd take things on her own.

And he was surprised once more when she step by step directed him towards the couch in the living room and pushed him down.

She then laid on top of him and started rubbing her knees against the growing bulge in his jeans, while not parting her lips from his.

The novelty of the situation and discovering a new side of the otherwise meek, shy girl made Nic more excited than he admitted.

Though he decided to follow her lead, he couldn't stop his hands snaking around her waist, squeezing her round, creamy ass-cheeks in his firm grip.

She let out a sweet moan into his mouth as she tried to dominated his tongue. But her sweet moan only proved to ignite his desire. He slipped his hand under the thin fabric of her "dress" and sunk into the crevice.

Finding the entrance to the dark tunnel, without any warning, he inserted his biggest finger and began to stir her rectum.

The sudden intrusion startled her and she threw her head back, breaking the kiss to let out a deep moan. "Uuuuuhhhh....Mmmhhhgghh!!"

Then she dropped her head on his chest, gasping for a much needed breath after their longest kiss so far.

Nic also seemed to appreciate her efforts as he smiled and gently rubbed her back with the other hand.

After getting accustomed to the probing finger and catching her breath, Rose raised her head and glancd at Nic, anxiety and hesitation clear in her face.

"What is it?" He asked with a small smile.

"Umm... So... I j-just wanted to k-know if I..." She muttered quietly, looking away as she trailed off into a barely audible whisper.

With a small twist and poke of his finger, Rose let out a half-squeal half-moan, before pouting her swollen lips at Nic.

"What is it?" Nic asked again, his smile no more on his face. Rose let out a heavy sigh and buried her head in his chest.

"Umm, Did I... pass the t-test? She blurted out

"Test?" Nic was confused as he looked at the girl hiding her face.

"I-It felt like a test," she lifted her head and looked at him with a worried expression. "T-The hardest test e-ever."

"I don't l-like tests very much, b-but I tried very hard." She mumbled nervously, with unshed tears. "It h-hurt a lot, but I endured. I wanted to show you I c-can..."

Nic observed her delicate yet stubborn face and realised what she was talking about.

Was she worried I'd say she was unfit for me and tell her to go home, never to come back again?

Was she worried about leaving me? Was she worried she'd never see me again?

Nic felt a strange feeling take root deep inside him as he answered with a small smile. "Yeah, you passed."

Rose paused her ramblings and looked at him, stunned. Once she processed his words, tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Nic calmly patted her head and pulled her closer as she sobbed into his chest.

After releasing all the stress and emotions she had bottled-up inside her for the last ten days, she wiped the tears off her face before looking at Nic.

"Um, so are we like... b-boyfriend and girlfriend now?" She asked hesitantly, her large blue eyes shining with renewed hope.

Nic chuckled at her cheeky question and replied with another question. "Is that what you want?"

She bowed her head and nodded shyly.

"But, I'm extremely possessive of my things." Nic spoke with a faint smirk on his face. "If you want to be my girlfriend, you can never be with anyone else. And your body, from head to toe will belong to me, and only me."

Rose didn't mind any of his excessive demands and nodded with a sweet smile on her face. "I don't want to be with anyone else."

"And if you betray me," Nic continued, his voice icy cold as he stared at her with a murderous glare. "No matter what the reason is, you will never see me again. There will be no second chances."

Rose shuddered at finality in his tone but she slowly held his face in her dainty hands and looked into his eyes." I promise, I will never betray you. I will give you everything I have and stay with you till the day I die."

The cold, oppressive air around him slowly dissipated and he pulled her closer for a brief kiss. "I will hold you to that promise."

Rose gave him a sweet smile and slowly leaned in to continue kissing him. She was getting better and bolder the more they kissed. And she was also learning his habits, preferences, and especially how to arouse him.

After sucking on his tongue and biting his lower lip, she unzipped his jeans. She then ran her palm up and down the bulge, feeling the heat coming off it.

"Ughhhh!!" Nic let out a low groan and grabbed her head to deepen the kiss.

He was fully aroused and raring to go after just a few simple actions from her. He was about ready to flip her around and drown her in his desire, but then—

Ding Dong~

The door bell rang, crashing the delicate sensuous mood with a montone noise.

Rose broke away from his embrace in a startle, as if she just woke up from a dream. She looked around with an tense face while the man beneath her huffed out a sigh, seemingly annoyed.

Nic sat up and placed a hand on her head, calling the attention of the anxious girl.

"Calm down." He ruffled her hair and stood up. "I'll go see who it is."

He turned around and walked towards the main door, leaving the listless girl sitting on the couch.

Nic opened the door and saw a man in a grey uniform with a notepad in his hand.

"Mr. Myers, you have a package." He spoke and gestured to the box near his feet.

Nic looked down at the box with a white house logo on the top and let out a sigh. When he looked up, the delivery man was holding a small square gadget the size of his palm.

"Do we have to do that every time?" Nic asked wearily.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Myers. But we can't break the rules for anyone." The delivery man replied softly and bowed his head. He then noticed the unzipped jeans and the huge tent poking out, and realised he had disturbed him at wrong time.

"I apologise for the inconvenience. I'll... I'll make it quick." He muttered and placed the gadget right in front of Nic's eye.

The screen on the other side indicated it was scanning the retina and after a second, a green text appeared on it, reading VERIFIED.

The delivery man checked the screen and quickly put the gadget away. He then handed Nic the notepad and a pen. "Just sign this and we're done."

Nic huffed and scribbled his signature before giving it back and grabbing the big box. He refused the man's offer to put it inside and easily lifted it up under his arm.

As the delivery man left, Nic got in with the box and closed the door behind him. He walked into the living room and shoved it in a corner, seemingly in no hurry to open it anytime soon.

Rose saw Nic come back with a big box, and it piqued her curiosity.

"Ooh, that's a big box. What's in it?" She asked with bright eyes.

"Just some stuff..." He replied ambiguously.

Rose pouted her lips in a childish manner and looked away, not satisfied with his vague answer. Her antics amused Nic and lightened the mood.

He walked up to her and looked down at her with a mischievous glint before speaking. "Shall we continue in the bedroom... girlfriend."

When she heard the last word, Rose looked up at him with a sweet smile and nodded cheerfully. She then simply raised her hands, gesturing him to carry her, which Nic was more than happy to oblige.

He smoothly pulled the tiny girl into his arms and walked towards the bedroom.

Rose, giggling, wrapped her arms around his neck and promptly attacked his lips and tongue without any delay.
