NOTE: No beta, so all mistakes are my own and I apologize upfront. I work 60+ hrs as an NP, it's high stress, I am married and have 2 very busy teenagers, writing is my escape. I try to keep my writing as professional as I can, but hey, I'm not making a living at this so again…my escape (I wish I COULD make a living at this :D). Updates may not be frequent or lengthy (see sentence two), but right now I'm inspired in this fandom, so you guys are lucky, at least for the moment.
Thanks for the reviews! I appreciate them all, even if you have something you don't like. You can comment. I'm a big girl and we can agree to disagree. I still think Nico probably could have/would have said the rude thing he said Dani and I think Dani would have called him on it like she did, afterall she's a big girl with a big girl job dealing with people.
Nico, well he's had a hard life, he's a hard guy. He is NOT a prince charming. Yes, he cares for Dani, but he does use bad language will say bad things and honestly in my imagination has some appetites in the bedroom that may make some of you blush, run and hide. Small hints in this chapter…Feel free to comment or message me if you agree or disagree, you'd like to see more or maybe you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. If that's the case, then maybe my hints are lame.
Oh, and btw…I enjoy multi-chapter smut. Hope you do too.
No Excuses…
Nico bit back a moan as he covered her mouth with his own and he tried to keep his passion in check. He'd fantasized about being with Dani. He'd wake from dreams, hot and thick with a picture of her still heavy in his mind, but the reality was so much more intense. She was vibrant and passionate and right now she tasted a combination of smoky earthiness from the scotch and the bright tartness of apples. Like a man starved, he wanted more.
He pulled her close, one hand in her hair and the other at her hip; he needed to feel her against him. His tongue teased over her lips and begged inside until their tongues met to tangle and play together. His teeth teased her lower lip, a short, sharp bite followed by the long, sensual glide of his tongue that soothed the small hurt.
She shivered and he couldn't help the way it stroked his ego. The hand on her hip eased up her side to her breast and he traced the curve with his thumb, purposely avoiding her sensitive nipple. She squirmed and canted her head to change the angle of the kiss and try to get him to touch her more intimately, but Nico kept his fingers to the edge of her breast and the he slid his hand up to her jaw as he pulled back to watch her eyes.
Dani groaned in frustration and pressed closer. "Nico…" her voice as breathless.
He chuckled and brushed her hair off her face before pressing a kiss to her forehead, jaw and then neck. His lips left a trail of fire as they moved. His fingers just ahead of his mouth teasing lightly, touching skin in a barely there caress before his lips landed in a seemingly random pattern: chin, neck, collarbone, shoulder, earlobe and then that sensitive place behind the ear.
"You're so sexy Danielle." He whispered in her ear as his fingers gently ran through her hair. "I love the way your hair feels on my skin." He bent and captured her lips again, slowly building the kiss back to where it had been before. A soft press of lips until it became a battle for dominance between them with teeth and tongues.
He shifted then, pulling Dani onto his lap so that she straddled him with one knee to each side of his hips and when she realized her position she smiled down at him and ground down against his length.
Nico groaned and his head fell back on the couch. His hands gripped Dani's hips. "Oh my…" She moved again but cut him off as she bent and kissed him with a giggle and groan of her own.
Dani was thrilled to finally be in a position with a bit of power. She slid her hips forward and savored the heat the slid through her. The thought flit through her conscious mind that she enjoyed this new power over sexy men since her divorce and she wondered where it had been all those years she was married. Nico's hand on her breast suddenly drove all rational thought from her again as his finger traced softly over her left nipple and she broke the kiss and arched into his hand with a gasp.
He was different that Matt, she couldn't help but compare, he was only the third man she had ever been with after all, his touch seemed more sure, but less calculated. She felt in a way he was exploring but still expectant of the outcome. Like a master musician who was playing a new instrument, he knew he could make beautiful music, but he needed to strum a few chords to get the melody right.
"You like that Dani?" Nico bent forward and pressed his mouth to Dani's breast, through her shirt. He gently bit at the nipple he'd been teasing.
"Oh god Nico, yes." Her eyes were glassy now and she realized he really did know what he was doing. He was playing her just like an instrument. He was warming her up bit by bit. She ran her hands into his hair.
"You're gorgeous." His hands eased down to her hips, skimming under the hem of her shirt. "I want to see you." He didn't push further, just traced his fingers along the sensitive skin along the curve of her hip. "Please."
She looked down at him. This dark and dangerous man asking permission and she was a bit shocked, but she nodded slowly.
"Show me Dani. Take your shirt off for me." His voice was a quiet order.
It sent a shiver of lust down her spine and she licked her suddenly dry lips and reached down, gripped her shirt and slowly pulled it up over her head. She dropped it to the floor and sat back on Nico's knees in her black, lace bra.
He drew in a sudden breath and saw her for the first time. The rosy peaks of her nipples pressed against the lace cups of her bra. "So damn beautiful," He reached out and traced each nipple with his index fingers, his eyes on hers the entire time. When her eyes drifted shut, he pinched her nipples lightly, "Keep your eyes open Danielle. Stay with me."
She moaned and felt her face and chest flush. "Nico…please." It was too much.
He bent and captured her lips in a devastating kiss that finally showed her truly who was in control. It wasn't harsh, or punishing, but it left both of them breathless. He pulled back and searched her face. "There is nothing to be embarrassed about, but I want to be with you Dani. I need to know it's just you and me here right now, do you understand me?" He cradled her face gently with his hands. "If you can't give me that then I need to go." He kissed her gently this time, pressing kisses to her ear and then whispering. "Just us…me and you?" His voice pleaded softly, his lips soft against her skin, his breath teasing her hair and his fingers massaging lightly into her hairline. His eyes were desperate. "Please say yes Dani because I want you so damn much right now I'm not even sure I could walk away even if I have to."
Dani pulled back so she could see Nico's face. She nodded. "It's just us Nico." She took a deep breath and exhaled. She chose boldness to prove it and faking confidence she didn't quite feel she stood and held out her hand.
Nico took her hand and she led him up the stairs to her room. She sat him on the bed then while she kept her eyes on his she undid the zipper on her pants. She paused, trying to gauge his reaction.
He cocked his eyebrow at her, smiled in anxious relief and crossed his arms over his chest in challenge. He almost laughed when she unconsciously bit her lip.
She swallowed, took a step toward him, turned and then bent over as she skimmed her pants down her legs, ensuring that he got a nice view of her ass. She was suddenly happy she put on nice panties this morning. Before she turned around she undid her bra strap and when she did turn Nico had changed positions and he was sitting more upright with one hand resting on his thigh and the other lightly fisted at his side.
Dani, wet her lips, she couldn't help it because the man on her bed looked even more dangerous than she could ever remember seeing him. Maybe it was because the intensity on his face was completely directed at her and maybe it was because it looked like he was hungry and she was the buffet…and that thought sent wet heat right between her legs and her eyes drifted shut for a split second.
Nico moved suddenly. He was on the edge of the bed. Dani noticed as he adjusted himself in his trousers as he moved and she shivered again.
"What's in your head?" His fingers moved to the buttons on his shirt and he slid the uppermost one through the hole. "Tell me what made your eyes drift close and that look of pleasure overcome you Dani."
She realized she was almost mesmerized watching him undo his shirt and she shook her head, her hands still holding her bra to her breasts. She cleared her throat, "You looked so hungry…like a big, wild animal in my bedroom, getting ready to eat me alive." She knew she was blushing.
He stood now as he finished with the last button and pulled the hem of his shirt from his always black pants. He undid his cuffs and then the black, leather belt was next. The supple leather pulled easily from the loops and Dani watched as he handled it. For some reason it also made her shiver. He stood there, his shirt hanging open and the belt in his hands while she stood in front of him in her panties holding her bra up.
She gulped.
"Let it go Dani." He had folded the belt in half and held it in one hand. He traced the loop of leather up Dani's left arm. "I need to see you."
The cool leather was a stark contrast to her flushed skin and again he made her feel so vulnerable like prey to his predator. It was exhilarating and so different. She dropped her arms and the bra fell to the floor.
Nico stepped toward her and he dragged the edge of the leather over her nipples, dragging it slowly as her flesh pebbled and hardened, then he tossed the belt behind him to the bed and filled his palms with her heated flesh and crushed his mouth to hers.
Dani was relieved and overwhelmed at once. The sudden intense rush of sensation from the slightly sharp leather, then his work hardened, calloused hands and hot chest and mouth suddenly pressed to her, it took her breath from her and if it weren't for his solid strength she was pretty sure her legs would have buckled from under her. Swooned, like in a romance novel, she vaguely made a note of that term, but then Nico's mouth was moving south and she gave up thought for sensation altogether.
Nico angled her so that when he stepped forward she moved backward and then two steps and her knees hit the bed. He pushed lightly and pressed forward, one knee beside her hip as she went back on the bed, his mouth pressing kisses lower, feathering kisses across her collarbone and teeth scraping lightly and then soothed by his tongue.
Dani moaned and arched up under Nico. Her hands playing over his chest, teasing over the light layer of hair to grip his shoulders and then as his mouth found her right nipple she gasped his name and gripped his dark hair. "Please…mmm."
Nico's right hand roamed over her left breast as his teeth and tongue worked over her right, then he moved over the left to give it equal treatment. His hand free to roam lower.
Dani's hand's alternated between gripping Nico's hair and the comforter beneath her as she pressed her thighs together with need. She was so damn needy right now. She panted, looked down at the head at her breast and moaned at a particularly erotic trick he pulled off with his teeth and tongue and then threw her head back when the ache between her legs seemed to double over as he suckled and pulled back, his eyes catching hers with a dark, passionate intensity that shocked her to the core.
He smiled up from her breast, his fingers playing. "You're so lovely Dani, so hot blooded…" He pulled at her nipple and watched his hand as he traced it over her breast and down her belly, then watched her face when his fingers traced the waistband of her panties. She shivered and arched up under his hand as she spread her legs. He pressed the heel of his hand firmly between her legs and closed his eyes when he realized how wet she was. "So wet for me Dani…" he traced two fingers over her panties, rubbing her clit, her juices making the satin slick and wet making a delicious friction. "So damn sexy, so damn perfect." His eyes never left her face as he touched her. He continued to stroke her.
Dani was about to come out of her skin. Every inch of her was on fire. Nico's eyes were heavy on hers, his fingers were doing the most amazing things between her legs and now his other hand was teasing her nipples. And then his voice…she was about to fall apart. Her breathing was erratic, her pulse was pounding in her ears and her heels were dug into the bed. She moaned quiet and low and the urge to turn inward, close her eyes and shut everything out to let go was dragging her under.
"Dani, let me watch you let go." Nico's voice was in close, his eyes suddenly on hers. "Just us."
She nodded, and his fingers slid over and around and he pulled at her nipple again.
"So damn beautiful…"
She wound tighter, higher.
"Let me see you let go Dani…" He kissed her, soft and gentle as his fingers worked over the satin. His tongue just slipping over hers lightly, tasting, soft then he pulled back again.
"Nico…please…" She was shaking, so close.
"Come for me baby."
And she did, eyes on Nico as she let go quaking under him. "Oh my god…Nico…"
He kept stroking her until she came down and then he finally let her drag him into a kiss. She was still quivering, but she knew one thing; she wanted more.
