Angel (NSC Industries) (20 page)

I
placed my hands behind me, bracing myself on the worktop and the action pushed
my breasts towards him, inviting him closer. He bent and took my nipple between
his teeth, grazing them over the delicate material of my bra and I moaned and
pushed further into his mouth.

“Hush
Baby” he whispered into my chest as he continued his adoration of my sensitive
nipple. He reached behind me and unhooked my bra, slowly pulling it away from
my body and tossing it aside as he unzipped my skirt. “Lift your delightful
arse, Angel” he instructed and I elevated my hips for him to slide off my
skirt, pulling my knickers along with it.

He
stood up and hissed as his eyes roamed my body. “Now you are even more
beautiful, Angel” he said as I sat naked on his kitchen worktop.

“You’ve
got too many clothes on” I scolded and his lips twitched.

“You
want me naked, baby?”

I
licked my lips. “I need to see you, Nate. Your body makes me hot” I breathed
still braced on the counter.

He
slowly slipped off his shirt, giving me a full fabulous view of his abs and my
breathing sped up as he slipped out of his trousers, tossing them on top of my
bra and when he removed his shorts I nearly passed out. “Jesus, Nate. You’re gorgeous”
I groaned, skimming his body with a lustful look.

 He
smiled suggestively and stalked back to me, braced my thighs and pulled them
apart, dropping to his knees in front of me, he kissed the inside of my thigh
gently. “You smell amazing, Liv” he groaned “Always, for me.”

I
placed my hands on his head as kissed a path up my thigh, “Always for you,
Nate” I said and then hissed as he reached my groin and lapped his tongue along
me.

A
low growl rumbled in his throat and his fingers dug firmly into my thighs
opening me wider “You’re so hot, baby” he hummed as his thumbs separated my labia
and he sucked my clit, making my hips jump off the island with a growl.

“Shush,
Angel” he soothed and gently stroked his tongue over the length of me.

It
was torture and I was soon begging for release. “
Please, Nate”
I groaned
loudly as he inserted two fingers into me and stroked my internal walls, his
tongue flicking at my stimulated bud of nerves.

“Yes
”
I grated as I lifted my hips to meet his mouth and my fingers pulled on his
hair as I exploded off the counter, screaming my release and smashing into my
peak.

I
was panting hard as Nate stood and put my legs around his waist. “Hold on, baby”
he said as he cradled me to him and walked us out to the patio, sitting on a
plush sun chair and positioning me over him.

“Make
love to me, Angel” he said softly, his lips against my shoulder.

I
reached down and nudged him into me as I slowly slid down his shaft, taking all
of him in to the root. He moaned and wrapped his arms around my back, his hands
clutching my shoulders from behind, pulling me close so my chest was touching
his and my mouth was at his forehead. 

My
hands grasped his hair and tilted his head back as I kissed him feverishly,
slowly sinking down on him and rising up to the tip, in a painstakingly
unhurried pace.

His
lips trailed down my throat and across my collar bone to my shoulder blade as
we continued our unhurried love-making.

“Faster,
Liv” Nate begged now that his arousal was nearing the crave for its goal.

I
leaned my arms back as far as I could reach, bracing my hands either side of
his knees on the end of the lounger, my breasts lifted high as my back was
arched to within its limits and increased my pace, pumping my hips harder and
harder.

“That’s
it, baby” he moaned “God, that’s good.” He leaned back as far as he could and
slammed his hips up to meet me in a frantic pace. “Come on, baby” he groaned “I
need you to come” his thumb swept over my clit and my body gave up its fight as
my orgasm hit and waves of pure ecstasy rolled over and over.

I
clenched round Nate as he pushed all the way into me, lifting me high and ejaculating
vehemently, crying out loudly as he erupted inside me.

The
birds were singing, the sun was just setting and I could hear the trickle of
the brook as we sat together, naked on a sun lounger in the evening summer sun.

Nate
grabbed my hands and pulled me back towards him, lifted me so he could slip out
and turned me to sit in his lap, my back to his chest, so I could look out at
the stunning scenery.

He
embraced me and settled his chin on my shoulder. “So beautiful” he whispered,
snuggling into my hair and inhaling.

“Very”
I whispered back, my eyes drooping on a yawn.

“Tired,
baby?” he asked after a while.

“Mmmm”
I murmured lazily.

“You
want a bath?” he asked quietly, his fingers stroking up and down my arm idly.
”Mmmm” I sighed again and he chuckled, enfolding me further.

“A
tour?” he tried.

“Mmmm”
I nestled deeper into him.

“Wine?”
I could feel his slight smile in the question. “Yesss” I giggled and he scoffed
“Good God, woman!”

His
finger was sliding across my chest and down to my stomach “I think next time
you see Dr Greene baby that you might want to tell him about your little vino
problem.”

I
gasped faintly. “I do not have a problem with alcohol and if I do, it’s all
medicinal” I chuckled.

“Is
that what you tell yourself, baby?” he chuckled back, his fingers sneaking
towards my ribs.

“Don’t
you dare Nathan Carter” I warned, sensing his mischief.

“I
come in peace” he laughed holding out his hands in front of me.

“Ha,
Yes!” I stated “I’m glad you know who’s in charge Babe, it’s a good sign that
so close into the relationship you understand your position” I joked and then
squirmed when his fingers started waggling.

“You
sure about that Liv, my fingers are very good at torture.”

I
spun round to face him and sneaked my hand down to his semi-hard penis and
clasped his testicles “So are mine” I smirked with a sly smile.

“Okay,
okay you win, Liv” he laughed and slid his hands under his backside, submitting.

“Good
boy” I grinned and kissed him on the nose.

“Come
on, baby” he said, climbing off the sun chair and pulled me up, “how about a
bath, glass of wine and….” He waggled his eyebrows and mine lifted. “…Haribos”
he finished with a grin as he pulled me into his arms.

“You
really are spoiling me, Mr Carter” I grinned back.

***

An
hour later after Nate had given me a tour of his ‘mansion’ we were both sat in
a huge roll-top bath, filled to the brim with luxurious bubbles with my back on
his chest behind me and a glass of wine, including a share-size bag of Haribos
perched on the edge, while he fed them to me.

My
head was rested against his shoulder as his toes slid up and down my legs “God
this is good” I said as I took another sip.

“Mmmm”
Nate sighed “I could stay here with us like this forever. You sure you have to
go shopping with Beth tomorrow, Liv?” he asked quietly.

“I
have to Nate, I’m sorry.”

He
stiffened slightly and tried to hide it with a cough but I felt it and frowned,
“Everything okay, Nate?”

“Mmmm”
he murmured into my head. “Liv?” he started and my senses prickled, “you can
tell me anything you know” he said softly “if there’s anything I need to know,
then I want to know.”

My
frown deepened. Did he know? How had he found out? He seemed too calm if he had
uncovered the truth, and if not was this the right time to tell him? Every
thought available seemed to blast round my head at the same time and I
swallowed hard.

Turning
in the bath to face him I placed my palm on his cheek and looked into his eyes
“I… I… I just…” I struggled with the words.

“What
is it, baby?” he urged with an encouraging look in his eyes.

 “I…”
I swallowed, my heart was racing and my breathing was strained, “I… I love you,
Nate.”

I
couldn’t tell him, not at this moment when we happy and relaxed, when the
thought of hurting him ripped me in two.

He
frowned and then nodded sadly, as though disappointed with my answer. “I love
you too, Liv” he gave me a strained smile and I knew our romantic night
together was lost. He had suspicions and I didn’t know how to eradicate them
for him, not yet anyway.

I
woke to a strange noise the next morning with Nate wrapped around me as though
I had tried to escape in the night.

His
breathing was heavy and he was sweating, his legs were twitching and he was
mumbling in his sleep. “Nate” I tried quietly, shaking him gently.

His
murmurs got louder and he was making sobbing sounds, “Liv?... Liv... No, please.”

His
voice sounded strangled and his jolts were getting harsher. “Liv please, baby?”
he groaned again.

“Nate”
I said louder as I turned to face him, my hand resting against his face, “Nate,
wake up Babe.” He grunted and his arm came over me and pulled me close, so
tight I couldn’t breathe against his heaving chest, and his legs wrapped around
mine in a vice.

“Nate”
I shouted this time in hope to rouse him.

“Liv?”
he asked, more coherently this time and I knew he had woken.

“Babe,
let me go” I struggled in his embrace and his arms loosened their grip.

“Baby,
I’m sorry” he looked confused and there was a remaining tear drop on his
cheekbone. I reached up and wiped it away, placing it on my lips like he had done
so many times.

“You
were dreaming, Nate” I told him softly.

“Really?”
he said, bewildered. “It’s okay” I smiled reassuringly “It’s time to get up
anyway.”

I
climbed out of bed and scrounged around in my bag for my clothes while he
watched me silently.

 We
had brought my things in from the car last night and I hadn’t had chance to put
any items away as a result of Nate’s desperate and primal love-making. He had
made love to me in a fever last night; the turmoil in him had escaped in a
flurry of frenzied drives along with his fervent grunts and cries as he clung
tightly to me.

“I’m
going to grab a shower, is that okay?” I asked him shyly.

“Baby,
you don’t need to ask,” he frowned. “There’s one in the en-suite or a bathroom
down the hall if you want more privacy” he said, swinging his legs out of bed
and sitting on the edge to study me.

“The
en-suite will be fine” I smiled and walked into the large bathroom.

I
expected him to join me in the shower but he didn’t and after a quick wash I
entered back into the bedroom. He was still sat on the edge, completely naked
and musing over something. “Babe? You okay, Nate?” I stroked his hair and he
pulled me into him, me stood between his thighs as he rested his forehead on my
stomach.

We
stayed like that for a long time, me stroking his hair as he leant against me.
“I love you, Liv” he sighed and I dropped to my knees in front of him and
grasped his chin, forcing his gaze at me.

“I
love you too Nate, so much that it frightens me. I know there’s something on
your mind and I would do anything to alleviate any pain you’re in but babe, if
it’s something I’m doing wrong then I’m sorry, but you need to know that I will
never
do
anything
to hurt you purposely.”

I
leant in and kissed him tenderly, my palm placed on his cheek as my other
rested at the nape of his neck. He drew back and scrutinised me, then smiled
gently. “I know, Liv” he kissed me on the nose “just ignore me, I think the
dream spooked me” he stood and walked into the en-suite.

An
hour later Nate was kissing me goodbye as he set off to work “Make yourself at
home, Liv. Slob, eat, play music, whatever. I’ll be home about 6ish,” he told
me “the gate number is 2212; you’ll need it to get in after you’ve been
shopping.”

His
face grew serious and he tenderly hugged me and put his lips to my ear “Please
come back, Liv” he breathed.

What
a strange thing to say and I pulled a grimace at him “Of course I’m coming back
Nate, what do you mean?”

He
shook his head, gazing at me and his brow creased, “I love you, baby” he gave
me one last lingering kiss and got into his car. I smiled, told him I loved him
back and blew him a kiss as went back into the house.

Finding
an iPod dock in the lounge I selected some of Nate’s music and turned the
volume up, dancing round the house as I cleaned and removed yesterday’s dinner
pots from the dishwasher.

Cleaning
the kitchen I found my phone on the worktop where I had thrown it to help Nate
clean up after the bottle breakage; picking it up I saw 3 missed calls from
Jay.

He
was supposed to be texting me a venue and time to meet today and I hoped he
wasn’t ringing to cancel.

Connecting
to his phone it rang a few times and he answered. “Hey,” he said sounding
relieved “I was wondering what had happened to you.”

Sliding
my backside onto a stool I frowned “You were supposed to be texting me a time and
where to meet you, Jay” I reminded him.

“I
did, last night but you never replied that’s why I rang you late on but you
didn’t answer either, so I rang you a couple of times this morning and I was
getting worried.”

I
looked at the display on my phone to check if there was a text message “I
didn’t get your text Darling and I left my phone in the kitchen last night so I
didn’t hear it, I’m sorry.” I felt guilty for making him worry; he’d done
enough of that in his life.

“Hey
no problem at least you’re okay. Anyway I texted last night to say I’ll meet
you in ‘The Kitchen’ about 12.30, is that okay with you?”

I
smiled, looking forward to seeing him “Yeah, that’s great. I’ll see you then.”

I
ended the call after he’d said goodbye and made a coffee and sat on the patio.
It was a horrible rainy day but the patio had a canopy and the rain made
everything smell extra fresh, it was absolutely tranquil and I lazed away for a
good while with doing some work on my laptop.

At
12 O’clock I got into Betty and drove to the restaurant, pulling up in the car
park I saw Jay’s car was already there and I eagerly rushed inside.

He
was sat a table facing the door looking for me and as soon as he spotted me he
broke into a huge grin, stood up and opened his arms for me.

Dashing
across the room I flew into his embrace and he lifted me and twirled me round.
“God, it’s good to see you” he beamed.

“God
and you Jay, it’s seemed like forever but I know it’s only been eight weeks” I
laughed as he pulled out my chair for me as I sat.

Sitting
back in his chair he took hold of my hand across the table. “How have you
been?” he asked, tilting his head.

“I’m
really good” I grinned back as he looked at something over my shoulder a little
curiously, his eyes came back to my face and he smiled again.

“Erin
says you had a bit of trouble last week?” he scowled at me. “You need to ring
me when you’re feeling down. You know that. I love you and I want to help you through
it.”

He
frowned at my shoulder again. “I’m fine Jay, I promise” I assured him,
squeezing his hand. He looked over my shoulder again and this time spoke to
somebody behind me.

“Can
I help you, mate?” he asked, scowling.

Everything
seemed to happen in slow motion as I turned and saw Nate staring at Jay.

My
stomach dropped and the whole of my lungs emptied at once as I stood quickly,
my chair flying backwards, “Nate!” I wheezed.

He
continued to stare at Jay’s face and then very slowly his eyes turned to me and
my whole world collapsed when I saw his expression.

“Nate,
please” I begged, shaking violently.

“Mum?”
Jay quizzed, getting to his feet.

Nate’s
gaze shot to Jay when he had said ‘Mum’ and then he returned to look at me.
“How old is he, Liv?” his face was white and I could see his hands shaking.

I
heard Jay somewhere behind me whisper “Holy Fuck!” and I knew he had realised
who this man was.

I
kept my eyes on Nate’s. “19” I said quietly and he nodded slightly as he
savagely bit his lower lip.

“Why,
Liv?” he asked me quietly and I lowered my gaze.

I
knew the moment he had seen Jay he would know who he was. Jay had inherited his
father’s pure blue eyes and blonde curls.

“Why?”
he repeated, sterner and I couldn’t look at him. “I ASKED YOU WHY, LIV?” he
bellowed and I flinched, his face contorted in rage and shock.

“Hey,”
Jay warned him, coming round the table and slipping his arm around my shoulder,
“don’t you dare fucking raise your voice at my mother again. I DON’T give a
fuck who you are.”

Nate
turned to him and his expression softened for a second as he looked at his only
son. He shook his head, turned away and walked out of the restaurant.

Pulling
away from Jay, I looked at him, “I have to talk to him Jay. I won’t be long and
then we’ll talk. I promise” I declared and he nodded his head “Sure, go on,
I’ll wait here but I’m watching him” he reassured me.

“He
won’t hurt me, Jay” I told him softly and then ran out to catch Nate.

Flying
out of the door to strange looks from other diners I saw Nate at his car, one
fist clenched in his hair as the other braced the car roof.

“Nate”
I shouted as I ran over to him but he didn’t turn. “I was going to tell you but
I couldn’t find the right time” I appealed. He stood silently facing away from me
as I gulped and the tears started to flow, “Please, Nate?”

He
opened his car door, “I can’t even look at you right now, Liv” he said quietly
and all his anger and devastation was communicated in the hushed tone of his
voice.

He
climbed in the car and sped off, leaving me stood alone in the car park,
utterly destroyed.

As
I sat back down at the table with Jay he took both hands in mine. “Mum?” he
said softly and I raised my devastated face to his. “My Dad?” he asked simply.

I
nodded slowly, unable to motivate my body to do anymore. “He didn’t seem very
happy to meet me” he laughed nervously and my heart wept for him.

“Oh
Jay, sweetheart. He wasn’t angry at you, he’s sad and confused that I kept you
from him for 19 years.”

He
nodded and squeezed my hands. “I suppose he doesn’t know that you have told me
everything about him, how great he is and how he would have been a wonderful
father to me? How you loved him so much you didn’t want to destroy his
ambitions?” he asked.

I
had made sure that as Jay grew up, he knew every wonderful thing about Nate and
that it was my decision to keep him secret; that his Dad would’ve loved him
more than anything.

“I
thought I was doing the right thing Jay, but now I don’t think I did” I said
desolately. “I should have told him about you, about how wonderful you are and how
proud you make me, sweetheart. You have supported me for your entire life, even
when James was horrific to you. I’m so sorry Jay, for everything you’ve had to
go through in your childhood.”

I
was guilty for so many things, mostly with Jay; I should never have let him
grow up without his father and vice versa.

“Mum,
you have nothing to be sorry for. You did your absolute best for all three of
us, especially given the situation you were in. You went through our childhood
hiding all your fucking bruises, your pain and your heartache just so we were
happy. You are the most unselfish person on this planet. Don’t you dare let
Nate tell you any different. Me, Erin and Matt all love you immensely and it’s
because of how you are and everything you do that has grown that love in us.
Whatever happened in our lives, all three of us have grown up healthy,
respectful and happy and that’s all down to you. Be proud of who you are, Mum”
he pleaded, “Because we are proud of you.”

He
smiled positively as he clenched my hand tightly “Come on, let’s get you home.”

Jay
followed me home and stayed with me for a few hours. As he was leaving he
hugged me tight “You sure you don’t want me to ring Auntie Beth to come round?”
he asked for the fourth time that afternoon.

“No
Jay, honestly I’ll be fine. I’m gonna have a bath then have an early night.”

He
smiled and walked to his car “Let me know when
Daddy
wants to talk to me
and I’ll come back down.”

God!
How I loved my son. He took everything in his stride. When he had been 16 he’d
had a bad car accident with some friends and the result had given him a scar
running down his face but even that hadn’t fazed him. When the doctors gave him
the mirror he had just shrugged and said it gave him a bad boy look.

With
a final “love you” he drove off, back to his life at university.
