Mending the Soul (19 page)

"I'll try, but I can't promise anything."  Jenna said as she grinned with pleasure.  "But, oh the things I want to do to you right now!"

"You're going to kill me by the end of the night, you know that right?"  Nicholas asked.

"I do think I've heard something along those lines before."  She laughed.  "We'll just make a quick appearance, thank Vanessa and Nathan, then head home."

"And what will we do once we get home?"  Nicholas asked.

"I thought you were having a hard enough time in your pants as it is, and you want me to tell you what I'm going to do to you once we get home?"  Jenna asked.

"I mean, whose house are we going to, are we going to do what I think and hope we're going to do, and are we going to have a sleepover?"  He laughed.

"Well, the kids are at my house, so why don't we go to your house, do whatever comes up, then we can head to my house, relieve the babysitter and have another sleepover.  Sound good?"  Jenna suggested.

"Sounds very good!"  Nicholas said as he parked the Xterra in the parking lot of the club.  He got out of the vehicle and told Jenna to stay put.  He walked to the passenger side and opened her door for her, helping her down and out of the SUV.  As he helped her down, he pulled her close to his body and enveloped her in a tight hug.  "I'm never letting you go, I hope you know that."

"Good because I don't want you to."  Jenna told him.  After giving him a soft kiss, she said, "I can't wait to get you alone, all to myself, to do as we please."

"Hmm, sounds good to me.  Let's get this over with so we can make that happen!"  He said into her ear, his voice husky.

The two walked into the club, with their hands laced together.  As they made their way to the bar, Jenna felt a hand on her shoulder.  She turned to find Vanessa standing next to a table.  Nicholas and Jenna stopped when they saw her.

"Nathan's up at the bar getting some drinks if you want to help him."  Vanessa told Nicholas, hinting that she wanted a few minutes alone with Jenna.

"Sure, I'll help him and get him some drinks for us while I'm at it."  He said and gave Jenna a quick kiss before he left.

"So, you don't hate me and Nathan for doing this?"  Vanessa asked.

"Not at all.  I think we are both extremely happy that you set us up like you did.  I don't know what I would do without you girl!"  Jenna said and gave Vanessa a hug.

"Well, Nathan and I were both sick of watching you guys mope around all the time and decided it was time for action.  But just so you know, this is the last time we are going to get in the middle of your relationship.  Got it?"  She asked in mock anger.

"Got it.  And thanks again.  I think we both just needed a little push in the right direction."  Jenna smiled as she looked over to the bar and locked eyes with Nicholas.  He winked back at her, then turned his attention back to the bartender to order their drinks.

Jenna watched him as he stood there talking to Nathan waiting for their order.  He seemed to have a light in him that shined for everyone to see when he was happy.  She didn't see that light when she first met him, and it sure wasn't there when they were fighting.  She really hoped that she made him as happy as he made her.  He was just the all-around perfect guy for Jenna.  He was smart, funny, considerate, and hot as hell!  As good as he looked in the clothes he was wearing tonight, a pair of black pants that hung perfectly over his ass and a blue-ish button down shirt that molded to every muscle, Jenna couldn't wait to get him out of them.

Just as she was daydreaming about her plans for when she got Nicholas alone, she saw a girl in a tight little dress saunter over to Nicholas.  She looked like she belonged on a street corner, not in a club.  She was putting her hands all over Nicholas's biceps, as he was taking her hands and trying to put them back at her side.  Every time he removed her hands, she put them back on his body.  Vanessa was watching as the slut's friend was doing the same with Nathan.

"What do you say we go rescue our men?"  Vanessa asked.

"I think it's time I paid Nicholas back for all the times he's rescued me."  Jenna told her as they both got up from the table and made their way to the bar.

Jenna walked up to the porker that had her hands on Nicholas.  Jenna grabbed her wrist hard and pulled her away from Nicholas.  "Honey, there was a time that I would take you out back and beat the living shit out of you for touching my man the way that you were.  But I've grown up and realized that there's no need for that.  You see, my man loves it when I touch him, he never tries to take my hands off his body the way he was with you.  I know that I'm going home with him tonight, and he'll be giving me the mind blowing orgasms that only he can bring.  And you know what, that feels so much better than kicking your sorry ass.  But, if I find you touching him again, I won't hesitate to beat you like you deserve.  Got it?"  Jenna released the girl's wrist and gave her a push into the crowd.  He friend followed her, leaving Nathan alone with Vanessa.

Nicholas watched the scene with a smile on his face, happy that Jenna hadn't kicked the girl's ass, because that was just asking for trouble.  He would rather have her in bed with him tonight, than sitting in a jail cell for assault.  He wrapped his arms around her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Thanks for saving me.  What would I do without you?"  It sent shivers down Jenna's spine, turning her legs to jelly.  "I think we've been here long enough.  We've thanked Nathan and Vanessa, so let's go home."

"Music to my ears."  Jenna told him.  They both quickly said goodbye to their friends and headed for the door.  Nathan and Vanessa watched them as they walked out of the club, knowing that things were finally back on track for their friends, making all their hard work at planning the night more than worth it.  They just hoped that everything would work out for Nicholas and Jenna, and nothing would get in their way again.

The ride home seemed to take forever that night.  The anticipation of what was to happen was driving both Nicholas and Jenna insane.  Jenna tried to keep her hands to herself while Nicholas drove, but the temptation was just too strong to reach out and touch him.

"I think we should have taken a taxi."  Jenna told him as she ran her hand up and down his thigh, lightly brushing the bulge in his pants every time she got to the apex.  "Then I wouldn't have to worry about distracting you and causing an accident."

"I'm sure we'd have given that taxi driver quite the show.  It would have distracted him too."  Nicholas smiled, but groaned as Jenna's hand kept teasing him.

When they reached Nicholas's house, both of them bolted out of the SUV.  As Jenna ran for the front door, Nicholas came and grabbed her from behind.  He pulled her closer to him, tightening his arms around her waist.  "Look at us, we're acting like a couple of horny teenagers here.  I think we need to get ourselves under control and take our time.  I want to make sweet love to you, and I want to take my time doing it.  I know that we can wait to touch and taste each other, but I don't want this to be over in 5 minutes.  I want it to last so that we can savor each moment."

Jenna blushed.  "You're right.  I'm sorry, I just can't help myself.  I want to be with you so bad right now, I feel like I'm going to explode if we don't hurry."

Nicholas laughed and kissed her neck before turning her around to face him.  "Jenna, we have all night to be together.  And, I don't plan on letting you go after tonight either, so it's ok if we slow down a little bit."  Jenna nodded her head in acceptance right before Nicholas picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.

"I could get used to this!  Nice ass by the way, now I get a better view of it."  Jenna said in a fit of giggles.

"I could say the same about yours."  Nicholas said as he looked at her firm, round ass bent over his shoulder, right next to his face.  He carried Jenna through the front door and straight up to his bedroom.  He didn't put her down until he was standing right next to his bed.  Nicholas carefully dropped Jenna from his shoulder onto his bed.

"That was fun, but nothing quite as fun as what I have planned for you."  Jenna told him.

"That's what I like to hear."  Nicholas said with a wink.  Slowly, his lips descended towards Jenna's, with the fire and passion building as the space between them decreased.  When he finally took her lips with his, it wasn't a rough and hard kiss like Jenna had expected when she saw his eyes.  Instead, it was the most gentle and loving kiss she had ever experienced.  In one kiss, she felt all the negative emotions of the past three weeks dissipate.  In one kiss, she felt her insides melt.  In one kiss, she felt the powerful love that the two of them shared.

When Nicholas pulled away, he looked into Jenna's glazed eyes.  His hand caressed her cheek as he watched the tears fill into her eyes.  "Baby, I am so sorry for everything that has happened over the past three weeks.  I would do anything if I could change what happened.  It kills me to know that I hurt you, but I promise that I will do everything in my powers to keep you from ever getting hurt again.  I love you Jenna.  Give me a chance to show you that."

Jenna nodded.  She tried to speak, but her throat felt tight as she tried to fight her tears.  "I love you too."  She choked out before Nicholas drew her in for another fiery kiss.  She found her hands traveling between the two of them to work the buttons on Nicholas's shirt.  He raised his body enough to allow her access to all the buttons, and as soon as she had his shirt wide open and sliding down his arms, he shifted back down so that his body was touching hers again.

Jenna started to squirm underneath Nicholas's weight, trying to get him to roll over so that she could get on top of him, but he was too heavy and too strong.  Finally he relented and let Jenna roll them so that she was on top.  It was exactly what he wanted too, but the feel of Jenna moving underneath him like that was giving him great pleasure.

As Jenna sat atop Nicholas, she ran her hands up and down his naked torso, touching every muscle and every crevice, stopping to place feathery kisses here and there.  While Jenna was working her magic on Nicholas's bare stomach and chest, he was working his magic to make Jenna's chest and stomach bare.  Jenna stopped her assault on his body to help him get her halter top off.  She sat up, straddling his waist, feeling his hardness poking into her, as her hands found the hem of her shirt.  Her eyes latched onto Nicholas' as she slowly drew the shirt up her body, leaving a trail of exposed flesh behind her hands.

After she got the shirt completely over her head, Jenna went to lay back down on top of Nicholas, but he stopped her.  "Not yet.  I just want to look at you for a minute."  He said breathlessly.  His hands reached up to touch the soft skin of Jenna's exposed stomach.  "God, you are so beautiful.  How did I get so lucky?"  He asked in awe.  He sat up, bringing Jenna's naked chest to his as he hugged her tight and kissed down her jaw line to her neck.

His hand slowly slipped between them, catching Jenna's nipple between his thumb and forefinger.  A moan escaped from Jenna as she dropped her head backwards, thrusting her chest further into Nicholas.  He slowly began pushing Jenna backwards so that her back was on the bed again, with her head at the foot of the bed.

Nicholas began kissing every inch of her torso, paying extra special attention to her nipples.  He made his way down to her navel, alternating between licking and kissing and effectively driving Jenna wild.  As he got to the button on Jenna's pants, he used his teeth to rip them open.  Jenna giggled when she saw him do that, but shut up as his mouth made its way into her newly opened pants.

Nicholas sat up to pull Jenna's pants off.  His hands gripped the waist-band and he slowly dragged them down her legs.  "Wow.  Plan on being a bad girl tonight?  I never thought you'd go commando!"  He said, obviously pleased at the thought of her going without panties.

"I had to.  Even with a thong, you get panty lines in those pants.  I had no plans on being bad tonight, it just happened!"  She smiled.  "Do you mind?"  She asked, a seductive look in her eye.

"Not at all."  He managed to get out.  He began kissing his way down Jenna's legs, not stopping until he reached the juncture.  He looked up into her eyes before he lowered his mouth and began pleasing her.  Jenna gasped and arched her back when she felt Nicholas's tongue circling her opening.  He used every trick he had saved up, and even though he was rusty, he brought her to an exploding climax, twice before he stopped.

He kissed his way back up Jenna's body and laid next to her while she tried to catch her breath.  "Wow!"  was all she could utter.  Nicholas lay next to her, running his hands up and down her stomach, as she basked in the afterglow of her orgasms.  When she was finally back to breathing semi-normally, she rolled over on top of Nicholas and captured his lips in a scorching kiss.  She lowered her hands down his happy trail to find the button of his pants.  She tore at it until it came open, then slid the zipper down.  When she broke from the kiss, Nicholas groaned at her absence, but was pleased that she backed away only to slide his pants off.

As Jenna grasped him in her hands, Nicholas shot up into a sitting position and grabbed her.  "Not tonight.  I just want to be inside you."  He told her.  A huge smile spread over Jenna's face as he rolled her over so her back was on the bed again.

Nicholas reached over to the stand next to his bed and pulled a condom out of the drawer.  As he rolled it on, he asked, "Did we use one of these last time?"
