�No one has ever said that to me, especially any girl.�
�Well, then they are all stupid.�
He smirked and scratched his still wet head. Must have gotten a shower in the time I spent plotting with Xander, A.J., and Marcus. And here I could have joined him�
No, Kara. Semi-serious conversation we�re having right now.
�Yeah� I guess so.�
�Nick� I don�t want your money. To be honest, I don�t have a clue what I would do if I had your money.�
He smiled at me, making my words spill out a little faster.
�I just� I like spending time with you. I like how you can make me laugh after I�ve just been in the floor from a panic attack. I like� I like how I feel when I�m with you.�
I just can�t be with you.
*
That means she�s staying. She�s gonna stay!
I could do back flips right now.
I watched her run her fingers through her red hair before turning and pacing. Or at least that�s what she was probably about to do.
She does that when she�s thinking seriously about something, ya know?
I got my first look at her back. Her entire back. Just like a guy, my eyes ran down her spine, memorizing every freckle, until�
Holy fuck.
Covering the small distance that had come between us, I fell to my knees in the floor and grabbed her hips to keep her still, a slight squeak of surprise coming from her lips.
Oh my god.
*
Don�t laugh Kara, don�t laugh.
I thought this would be a good thing to wear around him� he likes tattoos so much on himself�
�You have a tattoo!�
�he probably likes �em on girls too.
�Yes.�
�On your back!�
Biting my lip to keep the giggles in, my shoulders shuddered slightly.
�Yes.�
�Like a permanent tattoo on your lower back!�
Okay, I didn�t realize he�d get slightly obsessive over it.
�Yes, Nick. There is a permanent tattoo on my lower back. Can I turn around now?�
�Nuh uh.�
Not able to hold it in anymore, my laughter spilled out, only to be cut short by my breath catching in my throat.
What� is he doing?
*
I�ve never had a girl with a tattoo. Well, okay that�s a lie. I�ve never had an innocent girl with a sweet innocent tattoo like a heart with angel wings and two tiny stars under either wing. I bet it�s never been licked before.
And that�s why I�m doing that exact thing. �Cause I want to be the first.
I felt her gasp as I slowly ran the tip of my tongue over the outline on her lower back, tasting the slightly salty flavor of her skin. I want to taste every other inch of her next.
My hands, once again with a mind of their own, began to run down the front of her thighs, until I felt her knees buckle and she came crashing down against me. Landing in my arms.
Where she belongs.
Cheeks red with embarrassment or pleasure, she looked up at me helplessly.
�That wasn�t fair.�
A wicked grin came to my face.
�Neither was falling off a certain ledge only to straddle my legs and giving me the thought of figuring out what exactly you were wearing under that skirt. With no warning.�
�No, that was fun.�
Well, yeah, but not fair.
�Yes� it was, but not being able to feel my legs for the next ten minutes wasn�t so cool.�
Kara looked up at me with those big green eyes cutting her name into my heart.
Goddamn woman. Just� don�t turn into vapor again. I won�t be able to survive through that again. Not anymore.
I frowned at where she lay, head against my chest looking up at me, legs curled underneath her, the rest of her body resting on my legs.
�What?�
�I wasn�t finished.�
Musical laughter.
Marry me.
*
Finished? There was more to that? I don�t think I can handle more of that, much less something else.
�Aww, poor baby.�
I really shouldn�t be doing this. We had our talk, everything is out in the opened. Rolling around in the floor was not in the plan.
But yet here I am, rolling over to get on my knees to kiss him softly.
Tomorrow, I�m not going to get out of bed.
�I�m so sorry.�
He pouted up at me.
�Fix it.�
Taking his face in my hands, I kissed him slowly, in the complete opposite way from earlier. Not hungry or searching, just� loving.
Okay Kara. Let�s get one thing straight. You do not love Nick Carter. You do not know Nick Carter to love him. This is all some mirage to get you into his bed. Got that?
Shut up conscious.
Pulling away, he looked up at me with what seemed like a shy smile.
�Is it better now?�
His smile turned back into that teasing pout.
�Nuh uh.�
Hmm�
Still cradling his head so he looked up at me, I gently kiss his lips again, moving to his nose, his eyelids� any bit of skin on his face that was possible to kiss. I heard him sigh contentedly.
Maybe I got out of it?
Returning to his mouth, I ran my tongue over his bottom lip, before slipping it between his lips, kissing him deeply.
I felt his hands run over the back of my thighs, over my ass, then curl around my hips.
Okay, maybe I don�t love this guy, but every little atom of my body sure as hell wants him.
Especially all that damn electricity that keeps using me as its conductor
