| "Why? So you could finish what you started the other day?" "Di." He moved closer to her. "Keep your distance." "That's fair. You have every right after what I pulled the other day." "Nick! You scared the shit outta me. I thought you were gonna hurt me." "Dianna, please. I don't know what happened. I mean, I find you with another man. A man I've known as a friend for years and then to find you...well, you know. What did you think I was gonna do?" "Nick! I really thought you were gonna hurt me." He moved forward and she made no attempt to move this time. It wasn't fear that was holding her there. Maybe something deep down wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but he sure as hell had scared her that day."Am I too close?" "You're fine. Look Nick, I know it was hard for you to see what you saw the other day but I've seen you in more compromising postions than I care to remember." "That's something I'm sorry for too. You're a wonderful woman Dianna. I've just been too foolish to realize it." He did seem genuinely sorry." Nick."She took his hand."I don't wanna hurt you the way you've hurt me but I am in love with Howie." "Didn't you ever love me?"He turned his back; praying to God she was buying this poor, poor pitiful me act. He didn't need her in his life anymore than she needed him in hers. He just wanted to prove that he could have her again. "Nick."She tried getting his attention."Nick!" "What?!"He turned back to her. "Nick, I loved you at one point but I can't say that anymore." "Does he really love you?" "What's that supposed to mean? Of course he loves me." "And how do you know?" |
| Should she tell him about the song Howie started to write? She had to in order for him to believe her. "He wrote a song for me." "He could have wrote it for any woman. You just happened to be there. He's more of a player than I'll ever be." "Oh please. I'm around both of you all the time. Do you really think I'm buying into that one?" "What do you think he did when we went back to the room Di? Surely you don't think he spent all those months pining away for you night after night do you?" Frustrated, she blurted out,"Get back to work Nick!" "Did I hit a nerve?" "I hate you." "Well the feeling's mutual babe."Looked like he was gonna have to play a little rough after all. "Oh hell no you did not just call me babe. I'm not some little bimbo like your Kat there." "I'm welll aware of that ."He moved closer. "Don't even Nick." "Don't what?"He ran a hand over her bared arm. "You can't do this Nick. I love him,"Dianna stated as he backed her toward the door. "I don't think you do."Determination set strongly in his eyes. He was gonna have her. It was just a matter of how now. "Come on Nick,"she begged. "Come on what?" He grinned "Nick. I love him."Her statement weaker than the first. Was this just an reflex reaction to him being so physically near him? She was in love with another man for god's sake but her body wasn't telling her that right now. "Of course you do,"he smirked. He had her trapped against the door between his arms. Couldn't have planned this any better if he tried. |
| "I do,"she confirmed her repeated declaration of love for Howie. So why was she letting Nick do this to her? "I know you do,"he softened; his voice a soft hush breathed against her ear. "I really do Nick."Her statement becoming less and less convincing as his eyes met hers. "And you should,"his rich, red lips softly brushing against hers. "I shouldn't be doing this."Her words mere opposite to her reaction. Her small, heart shaped lips were drawn into a soft, subtle kiss; just enough to leave her wanting. "And I don't want you to do this unless you want to."This time fully capturing her lips. Her fingers weaved into his hair, him slipping his hands underneath the floral print blouse that was untucked. "Nick?"She firmly pressed against his chest."I think we should stop,"she said; her fingers however refusing to remain inanimate as she spoke. They slipped under his T-shirt. "You're sure,"he said as pulled the material over his head. Her lips heated a trail upward and against his mouth. She didn't want to think anymore. Her body had taken control and there was no stopping her now. "Whoa!" He slowed her actions."We've got a few Di. I just don't want you to do this without....Oh damn!"He yelped as she latched onto one of his nipples; taunting, twisting, suckling and biting down on it as she moved to repeat her actions on the other. This was almost too easy he thought. "You."Reaching down and unfastening his jeans."Talk too much." Slipping her hands into his jeans."I need you to shut up." Shoving everything below his waist down as far as she could get it."And just fuck me!" |
