It was just before 6pm. They were all exhausted and trying to finish things up so they could come in a bit later in the morning. Barba said his goodbyes about an hour ago, Liv had told Amanda that he was going to look after Noah for her so Lucy could get home for the New Year. They were sitting at their desks filling out forms Liv came out to head home and announced a 12pm start tomorrow unless we get a case before then. They all wished each other a Happy New year and headed home. Amanda pulled up at her house and headed into the kitchen, not long after she heard the door closing and smiled. She looked at him and gave him the biggest grin ever. Hey, you happy to see me he asked with a sexy grin. Always she said as she walked over to him pulled him down for a passionate kiss. Breaking the kiss for air he pulled her in closer and wrapped his arms around her. Hmmm he sighed, he kissed her head and they just stood there hugging each other. You OK? he heard her ask? I am he replied and looked down. I'm even better now that I can just stand and hold you like this. I've wanted to do this all afternoon. She smiled and kissed him again, I know. How about I make us some dinner? he said. Sure, what are you going to make? Not sure he replied, I need to look and see what you have, I'll see what I can rustle up. He smiled and kissed her again. He held her close again and sighed, oh mi cariño I could stand here like this forever just holding you in my arms. Mmhmm she sighed, so could I baby. They stood there for another few minutes and then he said Ok let's see what's for dinner. She went to the bedroom and put some pyjamas on, then returned to the kitchen. So, did you find anything handsome? I did he smiled, we're having spaghetti and meatballs in my special sauce. Sounds great and she walked over to him to kiss him again. Anything I can do? Yeah keep an eye on the sauce and spaghetti so I can go get changed. He kissed her again and hit her bum with his hands then gripped it. Hmm maybe this could be desert he grinned. She smiled and kissed him again. Go get changed sexy, I'll keep an eye on this. She hit his ass with her hand as he walked away. When he came back out, she was setting the table. She had switched the Christmas lights on the tree and the TV was playing in the background. He then watched her walk over to the cooker and stir the pasta and sauce. He smiled and walked up behind her and put his arms around her waist again. He kissed her neck and whispered; you'd make a great housewife you know. You letting that mind of yours wander again Amaro? Maybe just a little he said, kissing her. I can't help it you're just a natural with everything, and that song today it's still playing in my head. He kissed her again, well I'll not lie, that song has said a lot for both of us today. Mmhmm he replied and kissed her neck again, I think we've found our song. She turned around to face him, I've never had a song before, but I think you're right, it's perfect for us, and the fact we both cried at it and had the same thoughts, well says everything. He kissed her again and replied, yep, it does indeed. They stood holding each other for another few minutes then he said, Ok dinner is nearly ready. He kissed her head and she went to get the plates and poured some wine for each of them.
It was just before 8pm and they had just finished dinner. They were sitting on the couch listening to the news and watching new year celebrations from around the world. She wrapped her arms around his waist and cuddled into him. He kissed her forehead as she moved one of her hands up his t-shirt to play with his chest hair. She kissed his chest through the material as he pulled her closer. What time are you calling the kids at baby? He looked at his watch, I'll call Zara in about half an hour, then call Gill after that he said, It's really just to wish them Happy New Year.
I think I'm going to tell them about us next week Amanda, if it's ok with you that is? She looked at him and replied I'm ok with anything you decide Nick. Especially when it comes to your kids. Aslong as you're happy that's all I care about. He smiled and stroked her arm. Ok he said... I'll tell them next week about us. She sighed and kissed him, I'll miss you next weekend though. He sighed again, oh not as much as I am going to miss you Amanda, and he kissed her head.
I was thinking about their rooms. We'll pick something for them and get it done with the rest of the house. If they don't like it then we can sort it down the line, realistically they won't be spending much time there anyway will they? Well you never know she replied, running her hand up and down his chest. Well, for now they won't so it means the whole place will be done and ready to move in. I spoke to the contractors on my way home this evening and they said they can start on Monday morning if I want. Really? that fast? she said. Yeah, and they're good workers so hopefully it'll not be long. We just need to go out and get the bathrooms and kitchen bought then they can install them when they arrive. She could feel butterflies in her stomach, Wow, so it's really happening then she said, he lifted her chin and smiled, it is indeed mi cariño and kissed her. I mean I'm not being nosey or anything Nick and tell me if it's none of my business, but money wise, do you not need to wait for your house to sell 1st? He smiled and said, you're not being nosey and kissed her head, no, I don't need to wait. I've got it all covered mi cariño don't be worrying. Ok, if you're sure and she settled back down on his chest. Around 20 minutes later his phone rang. It was Gill video calling, so she got up to let him talk to his son alone. Hey dad! Hi hijo he replied. They both chatted for a while, dad, where are you? That's not your house. He laughed, no you're right it's not, I'm spending new years here at my friend's house, oh OK he said, and carried on talking about plans for his visit the following weekend. 15 minutes later they said goodbye and they would talk again in a few days. She was in the kitchen putting the dishes away he walked up to her and kissed her. You OK? she asked Yeah, he asked me where I was, she smiled, so I heard. Those kids will make great detectives I'll say that and they both laughed. I think you're right to tell them about us next week she said, it will save a lot of questions like that. He smiled, yeah, I'm nervous though and he sat down at the table. She walked over and stood in front of him as he pulled her onto his lap. She put her arms around his neck and said, well if you don't want to you don't have to. He replied, no, no it's not that, Gil will be fine, he'll be happy. Zara…. She's still finding the whole divorce thing difficult, she doesn't like Maria's boyfriend, Maria blames me, even though I've never met him. Well we'll cross that bridge when we get to it and she kissed him. Yeah, he said, she likes you though so that's a plus. She laughed gee thanks, he rubbed her back, ah you know what I mean. Either way she's going to have to get used to it he said, cause as much as I love my daughter, he kissed her again, I'll never give you up for anything in the world. Zara and Gil always come 1st Nick, I know that, and you know that, so whatever has to happen, and he stopped her. No Amanda, yes, they come 1st…. for now, but one day in the future I'm hoping YOU will be my top priority too and the kids are just going to have to accept that and Zara has to realise that she can't get her own way, maybe hopefully when I tell her about us, she will give Maria an easier time too. She kissed his forehead, hopefully, but as I said, I'll follow your lead, just keep me in the loop. Right off you go and speak to your daughter, I'll get finished off in here then we can settle down for the night. He kissed her again and reluctantly let her get up from his lap. 20 minutes later he was sitting back on the couch with Amanda. He had his arms wrapped around her and they were talking. Did she ask where you were? No he replied, but she did ask where you were though, he laughed, I just said you were in the living room. Amanda looked at him in surprise, and she was OK with that? He laughed yeah I'm still processing it myself. And he kissed her. Do you like dancing Rollins? She looked at him, not really, I can't dance. He stood up and put his hand out to her, neither can I, but I want to dance with you. He brought YouTube up on his phone and found their song. It started to play, and her heart melted. Aw Nick, she put her hands on his shoulders and they began to slow dance to their song. His hands on her waist they both kissed, they said nothing until the song was finished. They were still standing in front of the Christmas tree, holding each other. I am so happy right now Amanda Rollins, and it is all thanks to you. He could feel the lump in his throat again and I can't wait to see what the New Year brings. She smiled with tears in her eyes and said, Nick Amaro I have never been so happy, so in love and so at home with anyone in my life, and I have YOU to thank for that baby. I am so excited for this next year and see where it takes us. He wiped her tears and kissed her. She led him to the bedroom where the made the most passionate love they had ever had. Afterwards lying naked in each other's arms Amanda said, you know, I don't think I ever want to let you go. I just want to be with you all the time. He kissed her head and replied, I know I don't ever want to let you go mi amor, which is why when the new house is finished, I hope I'll never be alone in it. She raised herself onto her elbow and looked him in the eyes, tracing her finger over his lips, we'll see mi amor she smiled, let's see how things go and let me think about it. He looked and said really? You're not just saying that? She smiled again, really, it's just a big step for me, I've never moved in with someone before. He pulled her close to him, take all the time you need mi cariño, I'm not going anywhere, and he smiled. She let out a sigh and he said, I'll never rush you. I know you won't she said, and that's one of the things I love you for.
It was just before midnight, they were both back out on the couch waiting to bring in the New Year. You know she said, I can't remember the last time I stayed up to bring in the New Year, I've either been working or in bed well before now. He laughed, I was in bed last year for it, but before then we always brought it in. It was the one night of the year Zara could stay up late, and we always had family over to bring it in. My sister held a family get together last year because, well, you know why, but I didn't go, I wasn't interested. She looked at him in a panic, so why are you not with them this year? Well they're up in Miami for a start he laughed, oh OK she said and he saw the relief in her face, and I'm working. And even if I had plans to go to them, I would have changed them as I would much rather spend it with you, mi amor. He kissed her and she deepened the kiss, but you can't miss traditions for me baby she said, I know he whispered, but I want to, and he grinned against her lips and kissed her again. 5 minutes later they watched as the Big ball dropped in Times Square, as the fireworks went off he turned to her and said "Feliz Año Nuevo mi amor" She smiled, Happy New year mi amor, and he grinned. They both kissed each other and under the lights of the tree they made love for this 1st time that year. Hearing her groaning his name he sped up his thrusts into her. Nick baby, cum with me baby he panted, and he leant over and kissed her neck as she pulled him deeper into her. Nick, she moaned, feeling her juices over his cock and feeling her walls clench around him he exploded inside of her. Fuck he hissed, he tried to continue to thrust, but his orgasm was so strong he could only rock his hips against her. Still on the couch he collapsed on top of her and she put her arms around him as he nibbled at her neck. Oh my God Nick, she gasped, he went to remove himself from her and she wrapped her legs tighter around him, no no baby, just stay there she said. I need to feel this a bit longer. He leant up on his elbows and smiled, she put her hands on each side of his face and kissed him like she was hungry. Both still panting for air they broke the kiss and she said, Nick, I didn't think sex could be any more amazing with you, but that right there…. She stopped, wow, is all I can say, he smiled, I was about to say the same to you Amanda, I've never ever in my life had an orgasm like that before, it was amazing, YOU are amazing. Well, that was a great way to start the year, kissing him again. Yeah, he said, pecking her lips, I wouldn't have wanted to start this new journey in my life any other way, He rolled them both onto their sides and still inside of her he reached down between them to slip himself out. They both kissed again, and she brought her hand down between them to his dick. She started to play with his balls and moved her hand up and down his semi. Kissing her in between words he said, I think we should head to bed mi amor, she smiled against him and replied, yeah, I think we should. He got up and held his hand out to help her up. As she got up, she wrapped her arms around his waist and said, A new year, and new journey for us, and I think another new tradition, he smiled against her and said, oh most definitely. He lifted her up in his arms and carried her into the bedroom. He stood holding her as they kissed passionately again, he could feel his hard on getting bigger, as he sat her down on the bed he said, I still haven't had my dessert and grinned. She lay back as he bent down on the bed, opened her legs and began to kiss her thighs, then he flicked his tongue over her opening up to her clit then moved up to her breasts, she had her hands in his hair and was groaning loudly, one last flick of his tongue on her nipple and he went back down between her legs, she was so wet, he started to lick her juices as they dripped out of her, then with his thumb on her clit he began rubbing as his tongue entered her wet opening. Her moans got louder as he continued to lick her, soon he felt her hands grip his hair, NICK she screamed, as she came, he smiled and put 2 of his fingers inside of her to enhance her orgasm, NICK! Oh fuckin hell she shouted, as she came down from her orgasm he removed his fingers and licked her clean. He kissed her clit and then began a trail of kisses back up to her mouth, mmm he said, that was delicious, and kissed her. Oh God Nick I don't know how you do it she said, but jeez, I'm in heaven. He smiled and lay beside her, she reached her hand down to the growth against her leg and she said, mmm and started to run her hand up and down his shaft. Climbing on top of him she bent over and kissed him, his hard on was leaning against her stomach, and she sat up and with it leaning against her stomach still she started running her finger up it and rubbing her thumb over the tip, staring into his eyes as she done so. He was speechless at the sight he was looking at right now, she was still rubbing his tip and he smiled, Amanda baby, you keep that up I'm gonna cum any minute, she could see and feel some of the pre-cum from him. She lifted herself up and guided him inside her. She let out a moan, oh God this is my favourite feeling she said, smiling at him. He pulled her down to kiss her and she began to move her hips to ride him. He matched the rhythm and soon he could feel her begin to close around him, soon they both came again. As soon as he felt himself explode, she bent over and kissed him, he rubbed his hand up and down her back the other on her hip. Still joined as one she maneuvered herself to stay intimately joined but to lie down on his chest. He kissed her head and with one hand on her ass the other on her back he let out a huge sigh. Oh God Amanda, I don't know if it's possible to love you anymore than I do right now, she lifted her head and smiled at him, putting her hand on his cheek she said, I feel the exact same way Nick, I honestly cannot describe how much love I have for you, and kissed him. He rolled them both onto their sides and slipped out of her, this is going to be the best year of my life he smiled kissing her, our lives mi amor she replied, stroking his face. He gave her the biggest grin and kissed her again, our lives he said. And with that they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
