Blackbird (24 page)

She gripped his t-shirt and pulled it
up,
Nate helped her pull it over his head, breaking their
kiss for only a moment. She then reached for his pants, unbuttoning them
swiftly and pulling the zipper down. She heard another rip as her panties were
sent to pieces at her feet. She paused, waiting in anticipation for Nate’s hand
to touch her.

He trailed her stomach and pubic line until he
reached her most intimate body part and the wettest at this point. His hand
slid down and cupped her, causing her to moan into his mouth.

He cupped her only for a moment then his fingers
worked their magic, stroking her, sending her into a wave of emotions.
And
fuck is he good with his fingers.

Just when she thought she couldn’t take anymore,
her ecstasy at its limit, his fingers entered her.

She gripped his shoulders for support, her body
losing all balance. 

“Oh! My! Fuck!” she cursed as her body was taken
over by the Nate. Her orgasm spiralled out of her, coming all over Nate’s
fingers. She need more.

She reached in and grabbed Nate’s cock. It was
hard and thick in her hands. He was big.

Fuck me!

Nate kicked off his shoes and pants, bending down
for only a moment to pull his socks off and then placing his hands on either
side of her head, panting next to her ear as she stroked him, then grabbed his
ass and pulled him closer. “I want you inside me,” she said, pressing it
against her.

He groaned at her words then picked her up into
his arms and carried her into his bedroom.

He dropped her to the ground and grabbed a condom
from his bedside table, rolling it on himself. Then he picked her back up, her
legs wrapping around his waist. He held her ass in his hands as he pushed
inside her, thrusting deep into her. She moaned, feeling the length of him
inside her.

Her hands moved all over him, her teeth biting his
shoulder for support.

There was nothing safe about their relationship.
Their sex was rough and hard, demanding every part of each other.  All the
sexual tension, desire and need had come at once and they were totally
consumed.

He looked into her eyes as he pushed back and
forth.  “I love you,” he said, kissing her once again with the passion she
desired.

There was nothing to compare what was happening to
them right now. She’d never experienced sex like this before and fuck did she
like it.

He grabbed her ass and lifted her from him, her
legs falling to the ground to stand. He turned her on the spot, her ass pressed
against him as he pushed himself back inside her.

He ground her from behind, her breasts pushing up
against the wall with each movement. His mouth kissed her neck,
then
he held her hips and went hard, sending them into their
own release.

When his movement slowed, he stopped and leant
against Claire, her knees going weak. They both crumbled to the floor, Nate
holding her in his arms.

“My Blackbird,” he said kissing the tattoo on her
wrist. “I’m glad you chose me.”

“It was always you, I was just too stupid to
realize it,” she panted. She kissed him once more then curled up into his arms.
He leaned against the back of his bed for support and they stayed in this
position until the desire to have each other again overcame them.

To think she’d been missing out on this all along!
Then again he was worth the wait. Every moment with Nate was worth it. Her
professors had been right. Today was the beginning of a new chapter in her
life, one where her and Nate could finally be together and she could have the
life she always dreamed of having, even if she’d never realize her dream
involved a tall handsome guy covered in tattoo’s it did now.  It would
always.

EPILOGUE

One Year Later…

Claire growled and threw her backpack on the
ground, slamming the bathroom door behind her.

She heard Nate open the door behind her and close
it. She didn’t even bother to look at him. Instead she turned the taps on in
the shower and started taking her dress off.

“Well, well, if I had known getting you pissed
would be all it took to get you to take your clothes off, I would have done it
earlier,” he smirked.

She stopped taking her bra off and turned to him.
“You’re so annoying!” she yelled.

He grinned at her and crossed his arms across his
chest, leaning his back against the doorframe.

“Please don’t stop on my account,” he said holding
back a laugh.

 They’d spent the past year working and
travelling around the world. They’d started with Canada, and then travelled to
North America, South America, and Europe.

They worked their way through the countries.
They’d done everything from teaching English, to waitressing and washing
dishes. They used their free time to sightsee and catch up with friends along
the way.

Liam and
Layla
had hit
it off. They had started dating not long after Claire and Nate announced their
relationship and they’d even managed to all catch up with each other in London.

Travelling was everything Claire ever imagined and
more.

“Why do you do that, Nate? You clearly knew where
the Acropolis was, you can see it from the bloody street! Yet you kept arguing
with me we were going the wrong way!” Claire yelled crossing her arms in front
of her.

Instead of apologizing, Nate smiled back at her
like she was the most entertaining thing he’d ever seen.

She growled again. “You are so frustrating!”

“I could say the same about you,” he said,
unfolding his arms and stepping towards her. “You’re so cute when you’re
angry.”

He stepped another step until he was touching her.
Then he reached up and brushed her hair with his fingers. “Have I told you lately
how much I love you?”

She looked up at him and sighed. “Yes,” she
replied quietly. “You tell me all the time, you pretentious ass.”

He pressed his finger to her mouth. “We might have
to do something about that mouth of yours.”

He took his finger away and kissed her lips. He
always had a way of changing the subject. Somehow she couldn’t resist him. He
could be a dick sometimes, frustrate her, annoy her, but she still loved him no
matter what.

Love wasn’t black and white and she’d grown to
understand that. Love was about accepting another person for who he was and
loving him unconditionally for it.

Nate made her a better person, and she made Nate
believe in himself. Together they were free. Free to be everything they ever
wanted to be. No matter what happened in their lives and where each day would
take them, their love would remain strong.

Claire slowly pulled her lips from his. “I love
you, Nate Williams.”

“And I love you,” he replied picking her up in his
arms and stepping into the shower fully clothed.

She squealed in delight as the water fell over
them. She dropped her legs to the ground and pushed him up against the tiles.
“Now, what were you saying about my mouth?” she whispered seductively, biting
his bottom lip.

He grabbed her hips and hit them against his.
“You’ll be the end of me, Claire.”

She pushed herself up on her tiptoes and whispered
into his ear the words that made him feel weak at his knees, the words she
loved to say and he loved to hear.

Love was definitely not black and white.

ABOUT
THE AUTHOR

I have always been
a hopeless romantic. At the early age of fifteen I met my now husband Darby. Together
with our daughter Evelyn and dog Rusty, we live in the beautiful state of
Queensland, Australia.

When I’m not spending time with my family, friends,
and of course writing, I’m working as a child care educator.

I believe in living life to the fullest. I created
a bucket list years
ago with the idea I wanted to achieve it
all in my lifetime. I find myself now with over half of the list completed and
I’m regularly adding and checking off my goals, dreams, and even fears.

I wrote my first novel titled
Forever Yours
last year, then shortly followed by this novel.

I still have a lot of stories I would love to write
about so stay tuned!
