Ok here we go, it's been a while so I'm sorry to all of you who are reading this if you've been waiting, I'm honored that you're interested! I've had a lot of extremely nice reviews for which I'm incredibly grateful so cheers. There's still a lot to come so I'm going to try and get my act together and update more frequently but anyway here we go again…. Kay
"D'you want to come in for coffee?" Nick asked smiling, pulling his tie undone around his collard neck as they approached their respective apartments. They'd met up after his day in court and after her shift had finished, having dinner with Nick was easy she'd worked out, there was always some subject that she could converse with him about, he was always laid back enough to talk about trivialities, he wasn't the kind of guy she had pinned as a high powered attorney, he'd somehow broken her preconceived image of lawyers. They were just returning from their third, maybe fourth 'official' date, they'd bumped into each other enough times where he'd invited her in for a cup of coffee that if reality was counted they must have been on date Christ, sixteen or seventeen, at least past the point of counting.
"Sounds good." She answered nodding, smiling warmly, knowing that 'coffee' wasn't an invitation for sex but it had potential. She'd thrown the second date rule out the window with Nick, there was definitely chemistry, she didn't have to confirm that. "Where's Imogen?" She asked as she noted the lack of babysitter as they entered his apartment, she had an amused questioning frown on her face as she asked.
"She's staying at a friends house." Nick replied smiling at her as though he'd been caught out at second base with intentions. "You still want coffee?" Nick asked slightly unsure of his position now.
"Sure, d'you mind if I use your bathroom?" She replied to his question and asked her own noncommittally, although there were a number of commitments running through her mind.
"Yeah it's just… you've been here before." He half laughed shrugging pointing her in the direction she already knew.
Nick was leaning up against the counter waiting for the coffee to brew as she returned.
"So." She started, it wasn't a question, it wasn't really a come on either, it was just a 'so' nothing more.
"So" He replied as she edged towards him, a smile playing on his lips, as he reached out for her hand, she complied willingly as he pulled her towards him, leaning his neck down slowly his lips met hers, tentatively at first, making sure, Christ it was just a kiss, he hadn't done this in a while though, he hadn't been this attracted to anyone in a while, he let his hands wander down from her face as she opened her mouth to him, he skimmed her waist before his hands settled at the small of her back, moving one slowly up her spine he felt her edge closer into him. She traced her hands up his neck and into his hair as she pushed herself towards him, pulling his head down further. She let him explore her mouth as she did his, sucking gently on his lower lip, she felt his skin against hers as his hand made its way under her shirt, she arched her back into his strong palm, stretching up to his mouth, her hands leaving his neck, untwining from his hair and shifting to his chest, she traced the contours of his stomach as she pulled his shirt from his pants, returning deftly to the collar, slowly she began to unbutton the shirt from the top, working her way down. Gently he lifted his hands from her back placing them over hers, he moved her hands with his down to the base of her back, his fingers intertwined with hers. "You're sure about this?" He asked softly, holding her hands gently in place, her look was all he needed to assure him she was as he found her mouth once again, he trailed his kisses down her jaw, finding her neck arched he continued gently to her collarbone, his hands moving back under her shirt. She moved her hands back to his shirt and carried on from where she'd left off, fumbling for the buttons as he moved slowly back up her neck to suck tenderly on her pulse. When she'd finished her task, she found herself skin to skin with him, she wasn't sure when he'd done it, or how, but her shirt was open too, Jesus, this guy was good, she trailed her hands over his chest, gently following a stretched white scar, leading from the top of his left shoulder past his nipple to the top of his stomach in a neat curve, it stood out luminously against his tanned skin, she glanced at him, meeting his eyes quietly, slowly she brought her mouth back to his.
The coffee machine began to steam beside them, emitting a shrill noise, without a beat Nick flicked the switch turning it off, leading Abby towards his bedroom.
There we go… let me know what you think
