Beautiful Sky (17 page)

To say that Jonathan took my breath away is an understatement.  I didn’t think it was physically possible for him to look any more beautiful, but there he was, standing at my door, doing just that.  His thick dark hair lay perfectly on his head and his eyes…his eyes were smoldering and intense as they took me in.  He was wearing jeans, cool black shoes, a white shirt with a faint design detail in the fabric, that long cross necklace, that black cuff bracelet and the wide silver band on his middle finger.  His hand was holding a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers in a gorgeous crystal vase and I had to fight back the tears.  The flowers that were etched on the ring my dad gave me were sunflowers and I knew in that moment that he was there, watching over me.

“Jonathan, they are beautiful, thank you.  These aren’t even in season, how did you find them?”  I put the flowers on my desk and turned to him, still fighting back the tears.

“I have my ways.  I thought you would like them since that is the flower on your ring.”  His smile was very sweet and I wanted to fling my arms around him and give him a big hug.

“How did you know?  They’re so small.”

“I got a good look when you first showed it to me and I was pretty sure that flower was special to you.”

Without hesitating, I stepped toward him and wrapped my arms around him and held on tight.  “Thank you, that is the most thoughtful gift and you are very sweet.”

His arms enveloped me and, for just a minute, I knew that was what heaven must feel like.

I pulled away when I realized that we had been holding each other for a couple of minutes because I wanted more and I don’t think I would have stopped him if he started to kiss me.

“We better get going Jonathan.”

He stood there, looking at me, devouring me.  “You’re right, if we stay here any longer we’ll have to lock the door and not leave for hours.”

Hours?
  I could feel my body responding to him as his words lingered in the air.  I had to tell myself to walk out of my room or we would be in serious trouble.  My body was crying out for his touch and I had to make sure that I controlled myself around him.  It wasn’t time for us to be together yet, but it was coming, I could feel it.

“Sky?”  His voice was pure desire.

“Yes?”  The word sounded as frazzled as I felt.

“You look beautiful.”

Butterflies fluttered in my belly like crazy.  “Thank you, so do you.”

He held my door open for me as we left to go eat dinner.

***

The restaurant was the most expensive restaurant in town and it was absolutely beautiful.  Jonathan had arranged for us to have dinner in a private dining room surrounded by candlelight and it was gorgeous.  It was beginning to show that Jonathan had access to a lot of money.

“Jonathan, this place is amazing, but this must be costing you a fortune.  We don’t have to eat here.”

“Sky, don’t worry about that, you’re worth every penny.”

He winked at me as I felt a rush of warmth to my cheeks and I felt like a princess being spoiled by her handsome prince.  Dinner was the most elegant experience I had ever had.  Our drinks were never empty and the waiters were extremely attentive to our every need.  We talked about absolutely everything.

“So do you have any idea what you want to do after college Jonathan?”

“Yeah, it’s pretty much written in the cards for me that I will work for my dad and take over the company one day with my younger cousin Jeremy.”

He didn’t look happy when he said it.

“Are you sure about that?  You don’t look like you want to do that.”

“Honestly, I would love to be able to tour all over the country, hell, even all over the world for at least a few years, but my dad won’t allow it.  He told me that I could play while I was in college as long as it didn’t interfere with my grades, and it hasn’t, but he doesn’t want me to take it beyond college.  He’s been telling me since I was a little boy that I would be taking over the business for him one day and that day is just about here.  My mom knows how much I love to play and how much I love performing and she’s tried to talk to him for me but he won’t listen, and in our house my dad’s word is the final word.”

“Only a few years?  You don’t want this to be your permanent thing?”

“Oh, don’t get me wrong, I would love for this to be all I do, but to not join the company at all?   My father would
never
go for that.”

"But you guys are really good. Does he have any idea how good you guys are? I mean, I think you guys could honestly get a record deal one day.”

"We've actually already had record execs approach us a few times, but we've always had to say no because I know that I can't take this beyond college.  I feel bad for the rest of the guys in the band because it’s me that’s holding them back but they claim they all understand. I even told them that I would step down as the front man but they don’t think that they would be able to re-create our magic with someone else.”

Our dessert arrived and the conversation continued.

“Oh Jonathan, I’m sorry. I know how much you love to sing. I wish there was something I could do.  Hey, does your dad know that you’ve been approached by record execs?”

"No, I never told him or my mom because I figured there was no point, my future was decided for me a long time ago.”

His eyes were sad and I had never seen him like that and it killed me.  There had to be something that could be done.

“I think you should invite your parents to watch you perform.  Maybe that will change the way they think about this.”

“I’ve thought about it, but I don’t think they’d come.  All my dad talks about is me joining the company.  I’ve worked there every summer since I was 15, so he is looking forward to me graduating this year and joining full time, there’s no way around it.”

“It’s Hunter International, right?”

He looked at me with a bit of surprise on his face.  “Yeah, how did you know?”

“People talk about you around here Jonathan.  Do you not realize how insanely popular you are?  I swear some of the girls around here stare daggers at me when they see us together.”

He laughed it off but I could tell he was a little bit uncomfortable.  “It’s probably the band thing.  I don’t pay much attention to gossip, I’m too busy with other things.”  He winked at me and his eyes held mine until I felt the warm flush in my cheeks. 
When is that going to stop?  I spend a ton of time with him and he can still make me blush!

“I think your parents should see you play, if there is any way you can get them to a performance you should do it.  It’s important that they see what you love so much.”

He looked down at his fingers for a few seconds and then looked up at me.  “Maybe you’re right.  I’ll think about asking them to come see the band.  Anyway, enough about me, do you know what you want to do after college?”

We finished dessert and he paid the check.

“It’s either going to be law school or finance.  Not exactly sure which one yet.”

“You’ll figure it out, you have time.  So, are you ready to go check out that party?”

“Sure, let’s go.”

The party was in full swing in Kobler Hall when we arrived.  That dorm housed only upper classmen and the president of the frat had arranged to have a party there since that frat didn’t have a house on campus.  I did not recognize one person but Jonathan knew almost every single person there.

“How do you know
everyone
?  Our school isn’t
that
small.”

“You would be amazed at the number of parents that socialize in the same circle.  I’ve known quite a few of these guys for a while through camp, summer in the Hamptons, family functions, riding, things like that.”

“Riding?”

“Yeah, horseback riding.  I’ve competed with some of these guys for years.”

I was no dummy.  I knew that riding horses was an expensive hobby and I was beginning to really realize just how much money Jonathan’s family had.  I mean, I knew they were rich, but I guess I wasn’t able to understand just how rich and tonight I was learning a lot. 

I didn’t grow up riding horses and summering in the Hamptons.   I started to feel a little bit self-conscious about the amount of wealth he had.  I didn’t know if I would ever be able to fit in with his family.  They were nice enough when I spent time with them, but if they already had his career planned, I was sure that they already had a girl picked out for him.  They probably would let him have his fun while he was in school, but when it was over I bet they would arrange for Jonathan to meet a girl who’s family matched his family’s pedigree.  I was so caught up in my growing insecurity that I didn’t realize Jonathan was introducing me to someone.

“Sky?  Are you alright?”

I snapped out if my daze.  “What?  Oh, yeah!  I’m fine!”

“I want you to meet David, he’s the president of the Kappa’s.”

“Hi, it’s nice to meet you David, this is a very cool party.”

“Yeah, just a little something to do to give us all a break.”

We chatted with him for a few minutes and then Jonathan introduced me to a few other people.  I actually ended up having a lot of fun and by 12:30 I was exhausted.

“I hate to be lame, but I can barely keep my eyes open Jonathan.  Do you mind if we call it a night?”

I saw apprehension in his eyes, I know I did, but I couldn’t understand why because I had practically spent the entire day with him. 

Jonathan was silent as we walked back to our dorm and I could tell that something was on his mind.  I really hoped I hadn’t upset him by asking to leave the party, but I was tired.  He would just have to get over it.  We walked into our dorm and Jonathan stopped me once we were inside.  His eyes searched mine as his hands gently held my shoulders.

“Sky, do you want to sleep in my room tonight?”

Something was different about the way he asked.

“Yes, of course I do.” 

A sexy smile spread across his face and he put his arm around me as we walked down to his room.

 “I’ll give you a t-shirt that you can sleep in.”

“Okay, thanks.”

I felt a little bit nervous and excited at the same time when he closed the door to his room, virtually shutting out the rest of the world.  He grabbed a t-shirt for me from his drawer and I remembered that I needed to grab my stuff for my face so I was going to have to go to my room.

“Um, I just need to grab a couple of things in my room.  I’ll be right back.”

“Okay.”

When I walked back into his room he was sitting on his bed and he looked up at me with those incredible eyes and smiled.  My belly flipped over. 
Oh my gosh, so gorgeous
.  I turned and closed his door and when I turned back around he was holding up a t-shirt for me.  When I reached out to grab it, he didn’t let go and he used the shirt to pull me to him and wrapped his arms around my waist and gave me a soft peck.

“I’m glad you’re here Sky.”

“Me too.”

His eyes suddenly became serious. 

“I have so much fun with you and no girl has ever made me feel like this.” 

His eyes locked with mine and I could see the emotion there.  “I love you Skylar.”

I gently held his face in my hands and smiled as my eyes searched his.  “I love you too Jonathan.”

He leaned down to kiss me, his lips gently kissing mine and then the kiss became more needing, more wanting.  His arms pulled me tighter and I wrapped my arms around his neck.  His hands slowly caressed my backside and gave it a squeeze before sliding down to the hem of my dress and caressing my thighs with the back of his fingers.  His hands then slipped under my dress and hooked around my panties, sliding them to the floor.  I stepped out of them and his hand slowly slid up my inner thigh and two of his fingers found my entrance.  They took me by surprise and I let out a small gasp as feelings of pleasure washed over me. 

He grabbed my hair with his other hand and held my head in place as his lips covered mine, his tongue hungrily meeting mine.  His fingers sped up between my legs as his kiss deepened.  Another finger found my entrance and he wove all three together causing me to break our kiss as a moan escaped from my lips.  My fingers gripped his upper arms and I threw my head back in ecstasy as Jonathan’s tongue ran along my exposed neck up to my earlobe.  His teeth nipped at my ear as he ran his tongue along the outer edge of my ear.  My core was throbbing and I could feel the pressure building and when Jonathan rubbed his thumb over my nub as his fingers skillfully moved inside of me, my world exploded into a burst of fireworks.  I gripped Jonathan’s arms tightly as my body shuddered with pleasure.

He pulled my dress off over my head and unhooked my bra and when I went to reach for his zipper he stopped me.

“Stand in front of me, I want to see all of you.”  I didn’t feel self-conscious at all standing in front of him, so exposed, because the look in his eyes was one of pure hunger. 

“You’re so damned sexy.  Turn around, I want to see your ass.”  His words were firm yet strained, as he appeared to be trying to control himself.

I did what he asked, and the way he asked me, with such authority, was a huge turn-on.  In that moment I was willing to do whatever he asked of me.

He walked over to me, stood behind me and groaned as he rubbed my ass, allowing a teasing finger to slide between my legs.  My breaths were shallow as my body’s arousal increased.

“It feels like you’re just about ready for me.  Turn around.”

I did and he looked so sexy, in a full state of arousal also.

“Get down on your knees and unzip my pants Skylar.”

I knelt down in front of him and unzipped his pants pushing them to the ground and he stepped out of them.  His manhood strained against his boxer briefs and I couldn’t wait to see it.

I looked up at him.  “These too?”

“No questions.  Take off my boxers.”

A nervous excitement came over me as he gave me instructions.  Normally I didn’t like for people to tell me what to do, but in this situation I found myself loving it.  It added more sexual tension to our already heated encounter.

I took off his boxers, setting his member free and I nearly salivated at what I saw.  He was perfect in every way and I couldn’t wait to feel him inside me.

“Now stand up.”

I stood up and I was right next to the bed, my body waiting to be devoured.

 He reached in his drawer, grabbed a condom and put it on, and I wrapped my arms around him pulling him down on top of me.  I loved the feeling of his weight on me as his manhood pressed against me.  I heard a deep groan escape his lips as he kissed his way down my chest to my breasts and gathered them in both hands, his tongue playful yet sensual.  My fingers raked through his hair as I closed my eyes and enjoyed the delicious sensations that ravaged my body.

I felt him press against me and I sucked in my breath.

“Is this okay?” 

I nodded furiously, aching to feel him inside me.

He pressed inside and let out a guttural groan.  “Dammit, you feel so good Sky.”  The words were ground out as he positioned himself above me.  He looked into my eyes as he slowly sank into me and then I felt his lips come crashing down onto mine.  He began to move slowly and I wrapped my legs around him, pulling him in deeper.

I could barely think straight as my body experienced pure ecstasy.  He pulled out a little bit and then sank into me, and pulled out again a little, and pushed back inside with more force this time.  A let out a hiss as I felt goosebumps all over.  He leaned down to kiss me on my neck and ran his tongue up to my lips, kissing me deeply.  His hands crushed my breasts as his tongue explored mine and he began to move much faster inside me.

I lifted my hips to meet each thrust, taking him in deeper.  A choked grunt flew out of him as I rolled my hips upward and wrapped my legs even tighter around him.

He paused and rested his head against my neck, his hot breath pouring over my sensitive skin.  He started moving again, this time with more force and his thrusts became harder and faster.  He slipped a hand down between us and rubbed my sensitive bud, his thrusts coming faster and faster.  I could feel the sensation building in my core and it was stronger than anything I had ever felt before.  I dug my fingers into his back as my body exploded with pleasure and shuddered uncontrollably.  I could barely think straight as I tried to catch my breath and I felt Jonathan shift his weight, grab my hips and thrust hard and fast until his body shuddered over mine.  His eyes were clenched shut as his orgasm claimed his body.  When he was done, he looked at me, smiling, sweaty and panting.  He collapsed next to me on the bed and pulled the condom off, wrapping it in a tissue and tossing it in his trash.
