“Layla,” he replied and he moved his mouth to my other nipple. My hands went to his pants and unzipped them. Using my hands and feet, I pushed them to the floor and his underwear followed. He sprung out in front of me, long, hard, and throbbing. I grabbed him with both hands and gave him a slow tug.

Nic let out a primal sound and moved his mouth from my breasts and down my stomach. He kissed his way down to my center. He hooked his thumb and index finger around my panties and tugged on them. I lifted my hips to help him take them off. His mouth continued its journey as his hands glided down my legs to my knees. He bent them up and put them on the counter. No sooner were they there that his mouth moved between my legs and his tongue flicked inside me.

“Oh! Nic!” I cried as he pleasured me. My hips immediately moved with the rhythm of his tongue. His hands went to my ass and gave it a soft squeeze as I gyrated over him. I could feel my juices flowing out of me and I dropped my head back and sighed.

Nic ran his left hand towards my breasts and massaged them as he continued to tease me. I could feel my orgasm forming and I rocked my head side to side. When Nic moved his right hand from my ass and moved two fingers inside me, I bucked and cried out. His tongue went to my clit and sucked on it. It was all too much for me and I called out his name as I went over. My legs tightened around his head. My hips shot in the air and I let the most intense wave of pleasure run through my body.

He kept his hands on me and his mouth between my legs as I slowly came down. My hips dropped down first and then my legs opened. My breathing and heart rate were slower to go back to normal. It was a while later that I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings. I became aware of Nic’s hands massaging my breasts and even if my mind couldn’t comprehend what was going on, my body had.

His fingers were teasing my insides as he gave me the lightest of kisses on my clit. His hands were teasing my nipples. They were sensitive to his touch and I jerked at the heightened awareness he was causing. My body came alive under his ministry and I sat up to see him looking up at me. His eyes were so brown, so full of love and mischief. I knew at that moment that I wanted to be with him always.

I reached down and pulled his head from between my legs and towards my mouth. He did as I asked and as our lips touched it was explosive. He kissed with a wild abandon. I could tell everything he was feeling and wanted me to know in that kiss. I gave just as good as he did, wanting to show my love, my appreciation, my need, and desire for him all in that kiss.

Nic moaned deep in the back of his throat as I moved towards the edge of the counter. I wrapped my arms and legs around him tightly, getting as close to him as I could. I used my legs and arms to lift myself up and Nic gave me a surprised look as I fell off it. He was right there to catch me, opening his legs wider to hold me. His hands went to my hips as he positioned himself under me. I locked my ankles around his back and leaned back to look at him.

“Are you sure?” he whispered.

“Yes. Oh yes.”

The words were barely out of my mouth before he slammed me on top of him, filling me in one beautiful glorious motion. I arched my back and cried out as he entered me. His hands tightened around me and he immediately began moving. His hands were under my ass and he used them to glide me up and down on top of him. My hips moved as he did. I dropped my head down onto his shoulder and could do nothing more than hold on as he took me for the ride of my life.

It wasn’t long before I knew I was going to go over again. My body tightened and quick high-pitched sounds came out of my mouth. Nic moaned as he picked up the pace. I felt his body tighten a half a sec before he went over. At the feeling of him finding his release I did as well. I held him as closely as I could as we did.

As I came down, Nic held me. I could feel my legs getting weak and I didn’t think I could hold onto him anymore. As if he sensed what I needed, Nic moved us from the kitchen and over to the couch. He dropped down on it, taking me with him. He was still deep inside me and I straddled him with my head on his shoulder.

We didn’t speak. I could hardly think, I couldn’t move. There was no way I could find the words to tell him what was on my mind. Nic must have felt the same way because he didn’t talk but ran his hands lazily up and down my back. I jerked a few times and could feel him responding to my reaction. Almost on their own accord, my hips moved over him, slowly at first and then faster and faster.

“Yes,” Nic sighed and tilted his head so that he could kiss me. His hands moved from my hips and cupped my face. His tongue danced around mine as I put my hands on his shoulders. I used them as leverage to increase my speed. I wanted him, I needed him, and I was going to have him. I could feel him growing inside me. As his pleasure increased, so did mine.

He kissed his way from my mouth down my neck and to my breasts. Taking first my right nipple and then my left in his mouth. I arched my back to give him better access. I moved over him at a frantic rate as he gave the lightest bite to my left nipple.

“Nic. Nic!” I cried out.

His hands glided to my sides and he lifted his head to look at me. I looked down at him and my breath caught as our eyes locked. I had never had a man look at me with such love, intensity, or need as he was. He ran his hand up my neck and cupped my face as I worked over him. I tilted my head back and closed my eyes but Nic’s words stopped me.

“Layla, look at me,” His voice was barely above a whisper but I could hear the demand and need in his voice.

I opened my eyes and locked them back on his. I held them as I went over. Nic pushed into me one more time and cried out as he followed me. Our eyes never strayed as our bodies were overcome with pleasure. As I came down, Nic reached his other hand and cupped my face with both hands. His eyes were so intense as he looked at me.

“You. You are the only one I want. You are the only thing that matters. I have loved you for as long as I can remember and I will love you long after I have left this world. You are my everything,” he said.

I was too overcome by his words, by his look. I reached my hands and cupped his face as he was doing mine. I leaned forward and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. “I love you, Nic. I think I have always loved you and I know I always will.”

Nic didn’t say anything to my declaration but wrapped his arms around me and carried me to our bedroom.

Chapter 35

Nicodemus

Garrett had been waiting for my call and immediately agreed to see me. I didn’t want him or what he might tell me to get anywhere near Layla so I asked to meet him at his office. I arrived late in the morning to his office in the Financial District. It wasn’t much of an office. He didn’t have a receptionist nor any other staff. The small office he had held only his desk, a filing cabinet, and looked out to another concrete building.

“Thanks for agreeing to see me,” Garrett said when I walked into his office.

“My father didn’t leave me much of a choice,” I admitted as I shook his hand.

“I would think you would want to see your father free. He is innocent,” Garrett said as he sat back down and looked at me.

“He wouldn’t be the first person who said he was innocent just to get some sympathy.”
