3 YEARS LATER

Naked
and starting to sweat and panic, I looked at myself in the full length mirror.

It
was the last day of uni and we had all graduated with high marks.

Now
we were packing our belongings into huge brown boxes ready for the move back
home.

I’d
managed to secure a placement at one of London’s large, prestigious
communication business’s as an apprentice, Beth had to continue studying to
become a doctor and Lexi was starting at a primary school in September as a
teacher’s assistant, hoping to climb her way up to a head teacher status.

 Nate
was waiting to hear on a couple of apprentiships, getting rather worried about
the situation because as yet he hadn’t heard from any.

He
didn’t have a great relationship with his parents and didn’t want to go back
home to live.

Bringing
my mind round to the present problem I started to feel sick. What the hell was
I going to do? Everything was going pear shaped and the timing couldn’t have
been worse.  

Nate
was due to pick me up in an hour, taking me out for our final night here and I
was starting to wonder how the night was going to pan out.

I
pulled myself away from the mirror and dressed in Nate’s favourite underwear, pulling
on my favourite tight black jeans and I teamed it with my red frilly blouse. It
was important that I looked good for him tonight.

Looking
a bit despondent when he had grabbed me at the end of my last lecture, he said
he had news and that he would pick me up at seven. 

Giving
me a sweet, gentle kiss and brushing my cheek with the back of his knuckles, I had
felt the tension rolling off him and I wondered if he’d worked it out.
Panicking slightly I had looked at him intently and asked if there was a
problem. “Later”’ was all he had said as he stalked off, leaving me to watch
his retreating back and his beautiful backside.

Emptying
my makeup out on my dresser, I started to carefully smoke up my eyes, applying
lip gloss and a little mascara.

When
I heard his bike pull up, I Slipped into my red heels as I took a large calming
breath and tried to hold back the tears that had been threatening to surface
since this morning’s news, when my world came crumbling down on my shocking
discovery.

Nate
opened my room door; giving me a smile that I noticed didn’t reach his eyes.

He
reached for me and pulled me into his arms, enclosing me in his scent. He
always smelled delicious, musky with a hint of spice, part cologne and very
much his own mouth-watering goodness.

 “Hey,
Baby” he sighed softly, resting his chin on my head, inhaling my scent as he
always did when I was held tight against him, as though he needed me to breathe.

“You
okay?” I asked anxiously. He pulled in a breath and sighed before he drew me
away from him and placing his hands on my upper arms, he slid them up and down
as in an attempt to warm me up even though I wasn’t cold.

“Mmmm”
he grumbled, “You ready?”

Smiling
at him as he put on my leather jacket for me, I picked up my bag and slipped it
over my head, placing it across my shoulders, the only way to secure it to my
body on his bike.

We
sped through the city, approaching the countryside at a worrying velocity.
Something was definitely on his mind and I was beginning to worry.

Passing
pubs and restaurant’s I wondered where we were going, thinking we were going
out for lunch.

Nate
steered the bike down a long, gravelly road and pulled it to a stop at the side
of a beautiful, peaceful lake.

Dismounting
the bike and removing my helmet, I took a look around and realised we were in a
stunning secluded spot; the place was surrounded by full, green trees and
water.

The
calm, ripples of the lake gave an absolute tranquil feel, making me stretch my
arms up and roll my head round my shoulders.

Nate
stalked towards the bike and lifted the seat before pulling out a container, a bottle
of my favourite wine and a blanket.

Shaking
out the blanket he laid it on the ground, sat down and opened the carton of
food and patted the space beside him.

Lowering
myself down onto the blanket he leaned over and gave me a stunning kiss.

“I
love you Liv… so fucking much, baby” he simply stated, his sharp eyes blazing.

My
heart was pounding in my chest; it always did when he was near, always giving
me his total attention when he was with me.

“I
love you too, baby” I replied, and I did, an overwhelming love that threatened
to suck the entire life out of me from the first time he kissed me at the
Christmas party.

Over
the years our love had deepened, he was my soul mate and I was his. We both
adored each other with a passion neither of us had ever felt before; we needed
each other to breathe, to survive and to live.

We
had been inseparable since that night and our passion had soared from the first
time we made love, making us both in awe of how intense our sexual chemistry
was; it was hot, extreme and mind blowing all at the same time.

 Pulling
the cork on the wine he poured us both a glass, and placed a bowl with salad,
cheese, cold meats and crusty bread between us.

Picking
up a small tomato, he popped it in his mouth and fed me one then continued feeding
me in silence, never taking his eyes off mine until the food was all gone.

Taking
a sip of his wine he turned to me, “I’ve been offered a great job, Liv” he
revealed suddenly.

Grinning
broadly, finally relaxing that everything might be okay when I told him my
news, I flung my arms round his neck. ‘It’s about time,’ I declared “See, I
told you one would come along.”

He
was quiet for a few moments until he refused to look at me as he uttered the
words that changed my life forever, “It’s in Edinburgh.”

I
sucked in a heavy breath and gaped at him, “Oh!” I countered.

He
searched my face, running his finger across my eyes and down my nose. “It’s my
dream job, everything I was hoping for when I left university” he breathed.

He’d
been hoping to get into the technology business after uni, giving him the
opportunity to live away from his parents while being able to support himself
financially.

Taking
a deep breath and looking honestly into his eyes I said “Then you must take it,
Nate,” I gulped and carried on “you need this, you’ve wanted this, and by god
you’ve worked hard studying for it, we’ll be fine. There’s phones and trains,
we can meet half way once a month and phone every night. It’s always been your
ambition to do this, baby. Don’t turn it down for me.”

I
glanced away, trying to blink back the tears that were pushing into my eyes,
steadying my breath and putting my arms around my middle, driving away the
crushing feeling that was strangling me.

I
felt his hand stroke down my hair, holding the back of my neck he turned me to
him “Oh Liv!” His voice sounded as strangled as I felt, “If I take it, I have
to leave tomorrow. The job starts in two days and they’re only holding the
position for me till then.”

A
choked sob escaped my throat when I stood and walked to the water’s edge as I
demanded myself not to let him see my shock, tears and utter devastation.

I
turned into him as I felt his arms slide round my waist and his mouth nuzzled
my neck.

I
inhaled his scent and engrained it to my memory as I returned his embrace with
a fierce hug, holding on for dear life and so afraid of letting him go.

“I
need to do this, Liv” he said softly.

Peering
upwards I whispered “I know, Nate.”

He
slung his arms under my legs, lifting me and walked us over to the blanket before
he laid me gently down, spreading himself out beside me.

His
hand caressed my face and he lowered his lips to mine, and then kissed me,
fervently but so tenderly for a long moment.

“Make
love to me, Nate” I said stroking his cheek.

A
low groan rumbled from his throat as he brought his lips back to mine, kissing
me with a new found passion, as though he wanted to consume me and never let me
go.

His
fingers skated down my neck followed by his lips, kissing the shivering trail
his fingers had left.

As
his hand reached my breast, his thumb circling my nipple, my back arched and I
pushed my heavy breast further into him.

His
thigh slid over mine and I could feel his hard cock throbbing against me,
shouting for its release.

He
slowly opened each of the buttons of my shirt, kissing the skin between each
one as it appeared. Taking my bra encased nipple into his mouth, he nibbled and
sucked it making me moan and grind my hips into him.

Lifting
me up, he removed my blouse and undid the clasp on the back of bra, freeing my breasts
into the open summer air. “So beautiful, so fucking beautiful” he murmured as
his eyes raked over me, the passion and love burning through my skin.

Popping
the button on my jeans he pulled them off my legs and drew me onto his lap.
Taking my lips on him again he reached up to cup my breast, rolling my nipple
round his thumb and finger making me gasp and grind my sex on his bulging jean
clad lap.

His
hand continued down to cup my mound, slightly flicking my clit as he tugged my knickers
to the side and inserted a finger before he took my breast to his lips, sucking
and slurping the more aroused he got.

My
breath quickened and a low moan escaped my lips. “Oh Nate” I sighed, letting my
head drop back.

“That
feel good, baby?” he asked, groaning against the swell of my chest and entering
another finger. “God, Yes!” I cried, aroused beyond restraint, “I need you
inside me, I need to feel you, Nate” I whimpered as I rode his fingers.

Laying
me gently onto my back on the ground, he leaned up and pulled his t-shirt over
his head causing me to take a sharp breath at the sight of his lean chest. God,
this man was beautiful.

He
slipped off his jeans and boxers, and after leisurely sliding my knickers down,
he loomed over me, nudging at my entrance with the tip of his engorged cock.

My
legs snaked round his back, thrusting my hips upwards, inviting him in. He
thrust in, all the way to my womb. “
Fuck, Liv!”
he growled “You never cease
to amaze me how good you feel. You were born for me, just me.”

Panting,
I cupped his magnificent ass as I brought him in closer to me. I drew his lips
down to mine as I lifted my hips to his relentless rhythm and his thrusts
increased with every breath, pushing me nearer to my orgasm.

“Yours
Nate, always yours” I screamed and he ploughed into me with everything he
possessed, moaning as he neared his own release. 

“Come
on Baby, together” he roared as he thrust deeper and harder.

His
beautiful, remarkable blue eyes, that always made me melt when they looked at
me, never left mine as I exploded round him and he detonated violently into me,
filling me with his seed and his love.

Tears
streaked down my face as he rested his forehead against mine and kissed me
tenderly. He caught my tears with his thumb as he wiped them away and placed
them on his lips.

“I
love you Olivia May Thomas and I always will. I’ll never be far baby, always
with you. You’ll never leave my heart. You own it Liv, you own all of me. Your
beauty will follow me to the ends of the earth” he whispered into me as he
placed my hand over his heart.

He
rolled over and took me with him and stroked his fingers gently down my bare
back, “You’re the other half of me, Liv. The angel of my soul.”

We
lay there in silence for a long time. I knew that I couldn’t tell him my news
then.

I
couldn’t ruin his life like I’d stupidly ruined mine. One mistake would live
with me forever, but I knew in those precious moments, laid snuggled in Nate’s
chest, that my life, from the instant he left tomorrow, was going to change and
I wasn’t going to see Nate again, no matter how much love we had for each other.
