Chapter 29
Nathan stood in a bit of shock. Those weren't the words he was expecting to hear from Charlie. Yes, they were what he wanted to hear, but definitely not expecting them. Her hands on his back were making it difficult for him to think. The only thing that kept crossing in his mind was how close she was standing to his erection. The soft feeling of her lips brushing against his was not helping either. A voice in his head kept telling him to grab her and rush her up the stairs to his bedroom.
He brought his hands up to her face, cupping it as he intensified the kiss. Charlie was breathing more heavily as she pulled him even closer. It came as another surprise as she began nudging him closer and closer to his door. Grabbing the door handle, she opened it and continued pushing him backwards through the house to the stairs that led to his bedroom. When they stumbled over a pile of books, the kiss was broken. Charlie stood there laughing, gazing at the piles of books and papers that filtered into the hallway. Nathan loved the playful look in her eyes.
Before he could try to apologize for the mess, Charlie dropped her purse on the floor and ran past him towards the stairs. She hesitated for a moment at the bottom by leaning in over the rail. When Nathan turned and caught her glance, she was still smiling and laughing. He took off like a bolt, chasing her. Her giggling only got louder and louder. While on the stairs, he managed to grab a hold of her pants legs. She fell forward on the steps, catching herself and then rolled onto her back. Nathan used the moment to climb a couple more steps. Soon, he was hovering above her.
They were both laughing, but it subsided when Nathan dipped his head down to kiss her neck. Charlie's arms wrapped around him again with small gasps and moans escaping her lips as his kisses travelled across her neck and upper chest. Nathan's mind was lost in the all of the fantasies he had been having about her. The bulge in the front of his pants was definitely starting to become uncomfortable.
Charlie disengaged from the neck kisses. "Let's go," she whispered hoarsely. Nathan nodded, letting her take the lead. She scrambled up the remaining steps and moved into his room. When Nathan got into his bedroom, Charlie was standing in front of the bed. Nathan jumped to the spot in front of her, tipping her backwards on to the bed. She fell over and bounced on the springs. The damned giggling started again.
"Give me your foot," Nathan motioned with his hand. Charlie held up her leg and Nathan removed the heel, tossing each one over his shoulder. The movements brought more giggles from Charlie. She then held up her other leg, and Nathan removed that heel as well. When he finished, Charlie sat up on the end of his bed. She placed her hands on his hips and looked up at him. Her eyes showed a certain need that Nathan had never seen before. It was the same need he had being trying to hide in his own eyes. His heart grew a size larger, hoping that she might finally be feeling some of the same feelings he had been experiencing.
Nathan knelt down in front of her on the floor. He was now about the same height she was sitting on the bed. His eyes dropped for a moment to her parted lips and then returned back to her eyes. Charlie pulled him into yet another kiss. Their arms were awkward, grabbing, groping, and grasping at each other. Even in it awkwardness, there was still a beauty to her movements that Nathan wanted to appreciate over and over again.
Periodically, she would pull away from the kiss in order to read his face; Nathan only tried to project all of his feelings of passion and love. Looking into her eyes this way was burning into his heart. He knew this was a line of demarcation for him. If he crossed it, he wasn't going to be happy to play best friend anymore. How could anyone just be a best friend after touching the person they really loved? After kissing the lips that were a part of every fantasy? Nathan's mind began to race with thoughts about this possibly ruining their friendship.
The concern must have shown on his face because Charlie used one of her hands to smooth away his worry lines. Then, her fingers dropped to his lips, tracing their outline over and over again. Her eyes contently followed her fingers, but when she returned his stare, he couldn't spot a spark or even glimmer of doubt. He parted his lips, allowing her more access to him. That feeling of her fingertips sent a spark straight to his cock; it pulsed and throbbed in reaction to the flood of testosterone. When Nathan opened his eyes, she met his gaze. Her hand dropped away. He already missed the warmth of her fingertips as they left him.
Nathan actually moaned when he felt her hands on his hips, pulling him forward and closer to her. He walked forward on his knees until he was resting between her legs. The new surge of lust urged to him kiss her deeply. Twined together, their tongues danced and played. When her hands started around to his back, Nathan broke away from the kiss.
Charlie's body had taken over. She wanted to touch more of his skin. When he responded with a moan to her hands on her back, it was like a drug. She felt intoxicated, a bit drunk with an erotic power. Sure something in the back of her said "This is Nathan." But a different kind of voice, a sultry breathy one said the same thing: "This is Nathan." A wave of lust swept over her and her hands moved in between their bodies. She started pulling at Nathan's shirt, fumbling with the button on his jeans, but he stopped her movements. A small growl came up in her throat, and she looked back at his eyes.
"This is about you," he said as he dropped his head to kiss her cleavage. Her lips parted with a small sigh. She closed her eyes and got lost in the feeling of his lips moving across her skin. When she felt his teeth graze her, her back arched. His teeth nipped at her neck, and she wound her hands into his hair, grabbing and pulling at him. Finally, when he did actually bite into her skin, she felt a rush of wetness between her legs. She whined loudly at the sharpness of it.
His teeth disengaged from her neck and were replaced with kisses and licks. Charlie showed no protest when Nathan began to unbutton her shirt. Once that piece of clothing was gone, he stopped to gaze as the tops of her breasts that peaked beyond the edges of her bra. His hands began to draw the lines of the straps at her shoulders, coming down to the cups that contained her. When he brushed against a harden nipple, Charlie jolted forward. To prove the point, he rubbed his finger back and forth against the cloth, causing the nipple to increasingly tighten. Nathan's hands eased the straps off her shoulders, and he raised his head to bring her into another kiss while his hands slipped around her back to undo the clasps. Once those clasps were free, he inhaled sharply through their kiss. He pulled the straps down the rest of her arms, the fabric pulled free, showing him her very full and very plump breasts. His hands grabbed her sides and pulled her forward, so his mouth could lock onto a nipple. As soon as his tongue made contact, she arched and moaned. His hands held her in place as he continued to suck the nipple and areola into his mouth. He tested the skin with his teeth, and her hips began to move. When he lightly bit down, she yelped and surged against him.
Charlie's hips wouldn't stop moving. She was using her arms to prop herself up. Lightening had shot from her nipple down to her core. Her body felt tight and wound up like a top each time Nathan increased the pressure of his teeth. When he finally bit down, a rush of heat ran through her body. She actually felt a gush of wetness between her legs. She was having a hard time keeping control. The attention to her chest was maddening and so overwhelming. When Nathan changed to her other nipple, her body went through another set of spasms. Okay, maybe some guys do actually pay attention to a woman's breasts!
What she hadn't expected was the feeling of pressure against the seam of her jeans. Her hips had a mind of their own as she ground herself into the pressure of his hand. When she found the right spot, her hips started with small circles. He bit her nipple again, and Charlie thought her mind was going to fly apart. The circles quickened, forcing small pants from her. Charlie's head fell back and she was lost in the feeling of riding his hand and the exotic pain in her nipples. Her whole body was warm and the ache in her core built with incredible pressure. Nathan began to move his hand in the same, small faster circles. That was when she felt his other hand on his other nipple. In concert, he switched back and forth from pinching and biting.
Charlie's mind and body flew apart.
