Nic didn't realize he had fallen asleep on Allie's couch. He awoke around 12:30, still holding her. He was in a state of utter euphoria just holding her, but knew she had to work in the morning, and all good things must come to an end. He proceeded to gently wake her by kissing her neck, so she could move to her bed.
"Mmmm, that's a nice way to wake up. What time is it?"
"It's 12:30. You need to go to bed baby, and I should take off. C'mon, I'll tuck you in."
Nic climbed over her and slowly helped her up from the couch. He wrapped his arms around her waist and let her lead him to her bedroom, kind of waddling along behind her. She sat down on her unmade bed grabbed both his hands, and smiled up at him.
"Thank you. Thank you for dinner and everything tonight. It was wonderful...with exception to my psychotic episode, of course."
Nic laughed and squatted down in front of her, "You're welcome...and you're not psychotic, you're beautiful," he said as he pushed a strand of her hair back that had fallen in front of her eyes. He pressed a light kiss to her nose. "C'mon now, bedtime." Nic lifted the covers for Allie, and she lay down in her bed. He brought them up to her neck. "Sweet dreams honey, I'll call you tomorrow," he brushed her hair back again and placed a soft kiss on her lips, letting his hand linger on her cheek. He rose and walked towards her bedroom door, turned and smiled at her again, then went back to the living room to retrieve his jacket and shoes.
Allie rolled on her back, and smiled the smile of someone with a contented heart. This guy was amazing, she thought. He was loving, caring, gentle, rugged, tough, sensual, sexy, and talented all rolled into one. And, he wanted to be with her. He wanted her so badly that he was afraid he'd scare her off, and respected her enough to put her feelings first. She had never met a man like him before, and decided it was time she finally let her guard down, let go of her insecurities, and just let herself see where this was going to take her. She threw back the covers; she knew what she wanted to do, and more importantly, what she needed to do.
He was just opening the door when she entered the living room. "Nic, wait"
He turned slightly, surprised the she was out of bed, and closed the door. "What's the matter, baby?"
She slowly walked over to him, looking down at first, but then meeting his eyes. The gray of his eyes leading was her feet to him, step by step. When she reached him, she ran her hands up his chest, to his shoulders, pushing the jacket down his arms. She left the jacket halfway down his arms, essentially locking him in it, pushed him back against the door, and pressed herself against him, smashing her breasts against his chest.
"I came to a decision. I want you to stay with me tonight, and I'm not gonna take no for an answer.
Nic was a bit overwhelmed and shocked by her forcefulness, not at all expecting this turn of events, but tremendously turned on nonetheless. He was still a bit shocked, leaning against the door, with his mouth agape, as Allie started unbuttoning his shirt, her eyes still locked on his.
"Okay, not that I'm not enjoying you accosting me right now, but we don't have to do this tonight babe. I don't want to rush-"
Allie cut him off, "I know you don't want to rush things or me, and you're not. If I thought we were rushing, I wouldn't be dragging you back to my bed right now." Allie finished pulling his shirt out of his pants, leaned in towards his ear and whispered, "And trust me, we're not gonna rush, because I'm calling out of work tomorrow." Allie stood back, gave him and wink, and grabbed the top of his jeans behind his belt buckle. Nic's heart had begun pounding, desire coursing through his body. He felt a jolt when she placed her hand inside his waistband, his erection growing in an attempt to meet her hand. Allie began walking backwards to her bedroom, leading Nic back through the apartment by his pants.
Nic shrugged his jacket off his arms, letting it fall in a heap to the floor. He could not believe this woman invoked such desire in him, and that he was going to get to spend the night and day in her arms and in her bed. "I hope you enjoyed that nap you took, because you are not getting any sleep tonight," he said smiling.
