Sara looked at Nick incredulously. "How in the hell did you learn how to
cook like this?" She put another forkful of the concoction Nick had made
into her mouth.
He chuckled at her. "You make it sound like I've just discovered a new planet, Sara. My mom and my six sisters weren't going to let me out of the house without learning a thing or two. Believe it or not, I can even sew on a button."
Sara rolled her eyes and smirked at him. "This is really good."
He grinned. "Thanks."
They continued eating and when they finished, Nick picked up the dishes and took them over to the sink.
Sara giggled. "Wonders never cease, he even does dishes."
Nick just shook his head and laughed as he held up a fork and pointed it at her. "Yeah, but I don't do windows."
Sara leaned back into her chair and crossed her arms in front of her body. "What should we do now? I'm going to assume that you don't want to go kayaking again." There was a mischievous glint in her eye.
Nick chuckled. "You'd be correct. We probably should return the kayaks and get some more food."
Sara raised an eyebrow. "Didn't we buy enough when we came in on the ferry?"
Nick smiled. "Not if I'm going to make chocolate chip cookies."
Sara started laughing. "You can make chocolate chip cookies?"
He nodded. "What's so funny about that? I'm a little too old to be getting care packages from my mom. If I wanted her cookies without going all the way to Texas, I had to learn how to make them myself."
"Ok, Betty." She started laughing again.
Nick arched his eyebrows. "As in Crocker?"
Sara nodded. She was laughing so hard she couldn't get a word out.
"If you keep that up, you're not getting any." Nick tried to look stern.
"Ok." She dissolved into laughter again, finally covering her mouth with her hand to try and stop laughing.
"You're asking for it, Sidle." Nick set the dishes into the dish rack and made his way around the counter toward her with a mischievous glint in his eye.
Sara stopped laughing and scooted her chair back and stood up, putting the chair between her and Nick. "And just what are you up to, Stokes?"
"I'll give you a reason to laugh." Nick edged around the table a grin spreading across his face as Sara slowly backed away, the hint of a smile playing at her lips.
Sara turned and tried to run around the couch, but Nick tackled her and they both sprawled out across the couch, Nick resting on top of Sara. He began to tickle her.
Sara dissolved into to giggles. "Hey, stop. No fair. Ok, I need to breathe. Nicky!"
Nick finally stopped tickling her, but still had her pinned beneath him. As he hovered above her, his face just inches from hers, an amused grin crossed his face. Sara raised a single eyebrow and gave him an 'I dare you' expression. Suddenly, Nick had an overwhelming desire to kiss her, and as he contemplated it for a moment, his body began responding to the proximity of hers underneath him.
Sara's face registered momentary shock as she felt something hard pressing against her thigh.
"Sorry." Nick pulled himself off the couch and looked away from Sara. "I'm gonna go to the store." Nick was embarrassed as hell as he went over and picked up the keys to the rental car off the counter before heading out the front door of the cabin.
Sara didn't look back at Nick. She thought if he could see her face it would reveal her thoughts, and right now, she did not want him knowing how much she was turned on.
Nick walked out toward the car and looked at the water. Damn, he wished he could control his hormones sometimes. It had been a while since he'd even been with a woman. After Kristy Hopkins was murdered he began to take life a little more seriously. He wasn't so casual about jumping into bed with someone anymore. Not that he would deny himself the pleasure, he just hadn't met anyone in a very long time that he wanted to be with. Except Sara. Sara was different because he knew her and they were friends. He wasn't sure it was a good idea to screw up a good thing. But he craved her, he wanted her badly. Everything in his body wanted to touch her, taste her, and hold her. If she had any idea what he was thinking. Of course, she now knew that she turned him on. That was a little hard to hide after he'd become aroused on the couch right on top of her. The look on her face made him cringe.
Sara closed her eyes as she lay on the couch trying to control her heart rate. Nick had gotten hard over her. Damn. That was not something she'd expected. She had no idea that he could get turned on by her, that he found her attractive. Of course, he was a man, and sometimes they could get turned on by a light bulb. It didn't take much. But there was no denying that Nick had been aroused by her. Of course it may have just been the sum total of her body parts as a woman that had done that, but in any case, as a result she was feeling extremely turned on and now Nick was headed to the store.
Damn she was hot. She threw all caution to the wind and slid her shirt up to expose her bra. She cupped her breasts in her hands through the fabric of her bra and began to rub her thumbs over them as the tips became hardened. She didn't even bother to suppress the groans that the sensations produced, knowing that Nick was no where nearby as she had thoughts of him running through her head as she moved her hands over her body. She unzipped her jeans and pulled them down past her butt before sliding her hand between her legs. She moved against her hand imaging what it would be like if Nick was the one touching her, if Nick was the one causing her to gasp and moan his name.
She didn't hear the door open until it was too late.
Nick had decided that he was going to apologize for what happened earlier before he went to the store. He didn't want there to be any awkwardness between them since they still had another couple of days before they headed back to Vegas. The last thing he had expected to see as he walked in the door was Sara giving herself a little self love while moaning his name. To say the least, he was immediately aroused. He stopped in his tracks and his mouth gaped open in shock.
A look of complete mortification crossed Sara's face as she quickly removed her hand and began tugging her pants back up. She couldn't bring herself to look at him.
The complete awkwardness of the situation made the tension in the room thicker than anything either of them had ever experienced.
As Sara pulled herself up from the couch and tried to slowly walk toward her bedroom, Nick tried to break the tension. "You know, that's a whole lot more fun with two."
She glanced up at him for a moment and then looked back at the floor. "Uh, excuse me, I'm going to go pack now so I can move to Canada or Tajikistan or somewhere that I don't have to look you in the eye ever again."
As she started to walk toward her bedroom, Nick crossed the room and caught her by the arm. "Hey."
She glanced up at him.
He smiled softly at her. "Was I good?"
She turned her gaze downward, the color in her face rising. It was then that she noticed the telltale bulge in his pants. Desire course through her body as she looked up at him. "Do you want to find out?" Her voice was husky.
Nick swallowed hard as he searched her face to see if she was sure about what she was saying. Her actions spoke louder than words as she reached over and unzipped his pants. Nick crushed her against his body and captured her lips in a scorching kiss. They stumbled toward Sara's bedroom leaving a trail of clothes in their wake. The fantasies they'd entertained in their minds for the last couple of days fueled the desire they now played out between the sheets.
As they lay tangled together in the sheets, flesh on flesh, they tried to catch their breaths.
"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that." A huge grin spread across Nick's face.
Sara raised a curious eyebrow. "And just how long have you been wanting to get me into bed, Mr. Stokes?"
Nick chuckled. "About as long as I've known you."
She smiled softly. "And you never said a word." Sara rested her head against his chest for a moment. "You know, I would have had to move to Canada or Mongolia if we hadn't ended up in here. I don't think I've ever been more embarrassed in my entire life."
Nick chuckled. "Who knew that Sara Sidle had such a dirty little secret. I would have never guessed you wanted to get into my pants."
She raised an eyebrow at him. "Well it sounds like you've wanted to get into mine for quite a while." A smirk crossed her face. "Don't tell me you've never fantasized about me like that?"
Nick grinned. "Actually, I have, quite frequently, in fact."
She giggled. "I guess I wasn't the only one with a dirty secret."
Nick pulled her into a kiss and rolled them over. As he broke the kiss he grinned down at her. "Do you have any idea how much of a turn on that was catching you like that?"
Sara tried to restrain a grin. "Well, I think it's more fun with two."
He chuckled at her. "You make it sound like I've just discovered a new planet, Sara. My mom and my six sisters weren't going to let me out of the house without learning a thing or two. Believe it or not, I can even sew on a button."
