Sister Pact: Stuck with her (Book 2)

CHAPTER 9: PASSION

Amber could feel him trace his long, soft fingers up and down her arm, making her tingle. His smile was wide and bright, it always made her happy, it was infectious.

He did not have to say anything to her, because he just being there with her made her happy. Amber wanted to tell him all about the operation as he ran his fingers through her hair, causing her toes to curl up. 

“I have to go now” him saying that broke Amber’s heart. She hated the fact that he had to leave her all alone, she wanted to hold onto him, but every time she did that he would just vanish.

“But Steven I don’t want you to go, why can’t you just stay, please?”

Steven’s face looked sad, the smile on his face had disappeared, and at that moment he began bleeding from his neck, the exact spot where he had gotten his throat slit. She so wanted to touch him and tell him that all was going to be okay, a lie she had been telling herself over and over.

“Steven, Steven!” she yelled out to him but he was walking away from her and every time she tried to reach for him he walked further and further away from her.

“Amber wake up!” someone yelled at her  and her eyes opened up immediately, she turned her head and it was Nick standing next to her, a worried look sprawled over his face.

Then it hit her that she had the same nightmare again and this time is was worse because it was at a strangers home ad from the looks of it, she was in his room on his bed.

“Is everything okay?” he asked her. Amber was too embarrassed to answer, so she just nodded an okay. Nick handed her a glass of water to drink, she had to otherwise she would be forced to answer questions.

“Don’t worry, I won’t ask you about your nightmare. I understand that some things need to be kept to ourselves” Amber was glad that he understood her, the last thing she needed was someone playing therapist when there clearly was no need to.

She drank the water and handed the empty glass back to Nick, that’s when she realized that her hands were shaking and from the looks of things Nick noticed it too.

Luckily for her Nick played dumped and let the incident go without requiring much from her.

“Is the storm over?” she asked him softly, still underneath the covers.

“No, it’s late now and it’s getting worse”

“What time is it?” she asked him, because it felt like she had been sleeping for ages.  

“It’s a little after ten o’clock, evening”  Amber’s jaw dropped, she could not believe that she had almost slept her entire day away  like that and worse she did it in someone else’s home.

She pulled the sheets off from her and she yelled out in pain as she lifted her leg that was injured. Nick quickly walked up to her and gently placed her leg back onto the bed, Amber watched as Nick did this and he did that in the most gentlest way possible.

When he was done their eyes met and Amber felt the spark of electricity run through her.

Kiss him, now. Her mind taunted her and just when she was about to draw in for the kiss, Nick pulled away from her and that left Amber a little disappointed.

“Just relax, I’ll be right back” Nick told her, he left her in his room and all Amber was left with was the stillness of the room and the heavy rain and thunder coming from outside.

The room was filled with a little light coming from the battery powered lamp, Amber was not good with technology, but she was pretty sure that the light was dimming.

Nick walked into the room, startling her with the speed that he had walked into the room with, in his hands he held to bowls, and he handed her one. Amber did not know what it was but when she looked at its contents she found that it was noodles.

“I’m sorry that it’s not five star foods but— “Nick stopped himself, realizing that what he had said was a bit insensitive.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say that, it just slipped I guess” Nick apologized but that was all new to Amber. Ever since she had been in the fashion industry she had met men who thought they were all that therefore she had to fight to get herself to the top to be all that but never had she met a man who genuinely apologized this much for the simplest of things.

“It’s okay, I understood what you mean and trust me I’m not offended” Amber brushed it off and smiled.

“I hope you don’t mind it though, that’s what I live off, I’m not really a good cook” Nick admitted to her.

“Don’t worry, I’m not a good cook too” Amber told her.

The two of them ate in silence and as soon as the food was done, Nick picked up the bowls and placed in onto the nearby table.

“So how did you fall” he asked her.

“I guess my phone just got flat and the flash switched off and I tripped”

“Yeah I guessed that pretty much. Look I don’t know when this storm might end but I’m sure it won’t be any time soon” he told her and that made  Amber a little bit nervous,, because she had no idea how she was going to keep these emotions in any longer.

Nick and herself had spent nearly two hours taking about a range of topics and it surprised Amber how much the two of them had in common, she could not understand how it was that their worlds were so far apart but they were so alike.

Amber tried to stay awake but her eye lids felt heavier and heavier and Nick noticed that too, he walked towards her and he lifted the sheets to her torso but he stopped. His eyes were now met with hers and she felt the connection that he was feeling.

The need to sleep was no longer there and all that Amber could focus on was Nick’s soft moist lips, some heat was drawing her los to his but Nick was not making a move and for a split second it felt like was going to hold back.

Go ahead Nick, you have nothing to lose.

—But she’s my friends sister in-law. Nick battled with his conscious, because he had one chance that he could either take or leave and now he was going to take it.

Nick closed in for Amber’s lips and there was a burst of emotions as their lips touched one another’s, this kiss was like non other that she had ever had. Nick took control of her as he kissed her deeper and deeper wanting all of her and nothing less.

He didn’t know what he wanted but he definitely knew that he wanted more of this kiss and definitely more of Amber, Nick’s hands travelled all over Amber’s body stroking her arms and moving her along with his body.

She was hot for him like he was hot for her and at this stage it felt like nothing could stop the both of them.

Nick could not control himself but he knew that he had to make sure that Amber was okay with what they were about to do, the last thing he wanted was for her to be unprepared.  He knew himself very well, he was not the type to sleep with just any woman. In fact it’s been long since he’s been with a woman and he had to admit that this was a bit daunting.

Nick stopped kissing Amber and his lips moved closer to her ear, Amber felt Nick’s hot breath in her ear.

“Amber, are you sure you want to do this? I really don’t want you to—“ Amber placed a finger over Nick’s lips to stop him from talking, she was in no mood to talk and all she wanted was him.

“Just stop talking, please” she begged Nick and he could see the need in her eyes; it glittered even with the battery powered lamp diming. That was all the encouragement that Nick needed as he felt his pants tightened, his manhood ached with want— no need to Amber.

Amber placed her arms around Nick’s neck as she passionately entangled her tongue in his, the both of them out of breath but neither could stop the other from the sweet feel of each other’s mouths.

Nick’s hands travelled up Amber’s t-shirt and within seconds the clip of her bra was unclipped, the sound of her bra coming undone made her nervous and a little bit shy. Steven and she had come pretty close to making love to one another but that had sadly ended before it had even begun.

Amber knew that she had to forget about Steven, he was long gone and buried and she had to move on with her life. For now she had this moment, just Nick and herself in his room, losing themselves in each other’s embrace.

The moan coming from Amber’s mouth turned Nick on even more than before and this time he trailed her body with his kisses. Amber lost her mind at that moment, her hands operated with a mind of its own, it moved all the way to unbutton his shirt, it found itself unzipping his trousers, and pretty soon she was removing his boxers.

Amber’s eyes grew wider when she looked at his manhood that was standing strong and tall, waiting to enter her. Nick was filled with need for her and she too wanted him.

“Are you sure—“ Nick was stopped once more by Amber, whose eyes were now filled with tears.

“Please, just take me. I need you now. No regrets, I promise” that was the go ahead that Nick needed, he was pleased that Amber had made up her mind because he could not imagine stopping. He was now at a point of no return.

Nick’s hands moved up Amber’s body touching her breast as her n*****s puckered up, indicating her need for him. Nick pushed her legs wide open, he continued kissing her, his fingers travelled to her inner core, and he felt that she was wet for him, satisfying him, and adding to his need for her.

“Please Nick, just do it!” Amber yelled out with pleasure for him. With one big thrust, he entered her, her legs coming around and wrapping itself around his waist, pressing him deeper into her.

Nick continued to thrust into her and out as Amber moaned his name with every thrust and he continued, all the encouraged him. Nick was coming closer to his peak and so was Amber.

“Ohhhh” Amber moaned out she came and Nick slowly came and Nick slowly followed  suit, he pulled out of Amber and off of her and he landed on his back, besides her. He was out of breath and so was she.

Without thinking about anything, Nick reached out for Amber, pulled her into his warm embrace, and kissed her on her forehead.  Just like clockwork the battery powered lamp died, it was just the two of them in the dark now in each other’s arms.

“Nick—“ Amber stopped herself, she did not want to get emotional, she knew that this was going to go nowhere.

“You don’t have to say anything, just get some rest” Nick told her and she obeyed him. Amber ran her hands on the side of his back and she could feel it, she had the same rough skin where she had been operated on.

Amber knew that the two of them were two different worlds but at least they had one thing in common, they shared a peace of each other and that was more than most people shared with one another.

She closed her eyes and she could only hope that tomorrow was not going to be awkward and most importantly, they had to keep it from both her sister and brother in-law.

**

Amber woke up that morning with an empty feeling in her; she reached out for Nick only to find that the space next to her was no longer occupied.  She had to make sure, so Amber turned her head to see if Nick was still there, just as she guessed he wasn’t.

Amber felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her, that last night Nick and she had made love another three more time, hoping that they would get each other out of their systems but from the empty space next to her it seemed as if Nick had ridden himself of her.

She was not going to cry instead she was going to deal with this like a grown woman, she knew men like Nick who would just use women and dump them, no wonder her sisters ad herself had made the pact in the first place.

Although Amber knew that her eldest sister, Viola was happy in her marriage there was no way that she would give up their pact for something that was not assured. She looked at the empty bed one more time, running her hands on the empty bed, she had to admit that she did miss his touch— no, she missed the amazing night and everything in between. Although Amber was disappointed that Nick was not with her or that he was not wrapped in her embrace, she gathered her strength and wrapped the white sheet around her chest and walked to Nick’s window.

She looked out the window and saw that the storm was over but the sky was still grey, evidence of the havoc that the storm was caused. As she looked further away she could see that Nick was chopping wood, her mouth watered. Nick chopped wood with his shirt off in the cold and his tight denim jean pants tailored to fit him perfectly.

With every time he lifted the axe to chop the wood right in front of him, she could see the flexing of his muscle and that turned her on, it was now that Amber wanted more of him just like last night.

Her body wanted more and Amber knew that if she wanted more of Nick she would have to step out of the warm room and into the cold to get more of him, every piece of him that she could hold onto.

Amber did not know whether to call this behavior and obsession but she knew one thing was true, that she could not just let go of Nick, he was absorbed into her and she into Nick, and they had to get each other out of their systems one way or another.
