Scarred for Love

Chapter 7

Nathan heard Kurt call out Addison's name. Could she really have decided to come? He asked himself. He turned and noticed that she had already downed a drink and Kurt was already by her side giving her one of his drunken hugs. Damn. He thought. What does this look like? He shook his arms free from Lara and Stephanie and walked slowly up to Kurt and Addison who were both laughing. He cleared his throat and sported his best smile.

“Hey! So you decided to come?” He asked.

“Yeah.” She smiled sweetly and looked around the crowd. “Kurt, you were right. The band is great.” Kurt grabbed her hand.

“Let's dance!” Before Addison was able to protest, she took a surprised glance over at Nathan and he was shaking his head and laughing.

Addison found herself surrounded by a bunch of guys wanting to take turns dancing with her. Kurt had started it. He held her hips and guided her arms around his neck and pressed their bodies closer together so he could sway them from side to side slowly. If she hadn't known Kurt had a talent for getting around, she might have been crushing on him at this point seeing that he was kind of sexy in his own way. He definitely knew how to have fun. She looked over at Nathan and couldn't help but notice that he had this uncomfortable look on his face but that he also couldn't take his eyes off of her. She quickly averted her face and looked the other way and smiled to herself. I don't think he's liking this very much. She thought to herself but kept on dancing nonetheless.

Nathan couldn't help but notice how comfortable Addison seemed to be with Kurt. He knew that it was completely harmless and that Kurt loved to cop a feel with any chick in sight. He sort of felt bad for Addison being stuck with that. He also noticed that there were quite a few guys eyeing her. One of which approached her and Kurt. He watched as Kurt backed off smiling and walked away only for this guy to grab her waist, guide their hips together while bringing his fingers rubbing down her sides as she leaned her upper body away from him. She looked away from this stranger with a flirty look in her eyes. Nathan felt a growl building up inside. He shook his head and looked away. Nathan felt a tap on his shoulder. It was Stephanie.

“Wanna dance?” She asked him. Without answering, he grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the dance floor. Stephanie turned around and started rubbing her butt on his crotch like she was about to do a strip-tease for him. He turned her around and grabbed her around the waist and pulled her to him to grind on her. She batted her eyelashes and leaned in to give him a kiss on the lips. Nathan pushed the kiss away and looked over at Addison and the muscle-bound monkey she was dancing with. He couldn't help but notice that every time this guy’s hands went a little too far south, she was bringing his paws back up to her waist. He had to laugh internally. She definitely is a good girl. He told himself convinced. He figured he’d find out for sure.

“Baby,” Stephanie began but her words were falling on deaf ears. Nathan was too busy watching Addison. Eventually, he stopped moving altogether and felt his jaw drop when she turned around, looked at him and started swaying to the beat with another guy. She had a look in her eyes that he couldn't quite figure out. He was fed up of this game though; that one thing, he knew for sure.

“Baby?” Stephanie looked at him and asked him again.

“Just go home Steph.” He told her and walked away from her without a second glance.

Addison wasn't quite sure what was going on. One minute she saw Nathan look like he was pissed as he pushed one of his floozies' arms off of him and the next, she was turned around roughly and found herself staring into his face. She couldn't help but look into his bright blue eyes and found that her heart was fluttering. He gently and sensually grabbed one arm and guided it up and around his neck and then guided the other to his chest. She felt a hundred degrees warmer instantly. He proceeded to touch her sides and run his strong hands down and around her waist. They found their way to the small of her back where he gently pulled her into him. She was still looking at his face. He looked so serious and engaged. But why isn't he looking at me? She wondered. He buried his head in her neck and hair and she could feel his breath on her collarbone. He smelled wonderful too; something between sweet cinnamon and sandalwood. She groaned internally and her breath became slightly shallow. Slowly, Nathan began to sway their hips, rocking to the beat of the band. She was amazed at how well their bodies moved together, how natural it felt, how hot she was getting. She moved the hand that was at the back of his neck slightly and thought she detected a bit of tension dissipating so she continued to play with the hair at the nape of his neck. She thought she felt his breath becoming hotter. Or is it me? She was shortly assured that it wasn't her when he pulled her even further into him, felt what seemed like a groan and spun her around so that he had his arms holding on to her hips, pushing her butt in his crotch. His head rested against the side of hers as he angled his breath angled down on her neck. Addison shivered internally. She kept wondering what was coming over her. Something in her snapped and she broke away from his arms. She wasn’t sure what it was. He grabbed her arm strongly and whipped her around so his lips were centimeters away from hers. A wild look was in his eyes. His lips were pouty and inviting. She licked her lips slowly and bit her bottom lip as she studied his face. He was quite handsome. She decided that she wanted to stay there for a while so she grabbed his arms and wrapped them around her waist again and put both her hands on his chest as she looked away flashing him a shy smile.

Nathan worried when Addison broke hold while they were dancing but when she turned around, melted into his body once again and wrapped his arms around her waist, he couldn't hide the look on his face. He knew that Addison had seen it and she didn't seem bothered. He buried his head in her neck once more. Gosh she smelled so good. His chest was on fire from where her palms were. His groin was burning at an urgency he hadn't felt before and he wondered why it is that he felt this way. He groaned as he felt her hands move towards his stomach.

Addison didn't know what was coming over her but she was liking it. She moved her hands down his chest and towards his abs. Wow! She couldn't help but smile. She felt his body quiver through her hands and one of his hands slowly inched itself up, feeling her back and finally, wrapping itself around her hair. He lightly pulled down so her head angled upward. Once their eyes met, his lips were on hers in a feverish manner. Nathan moved them slowly towards a back corner, against one of the walls. She felt her knees wanting to buckle when his hands ran down her back and grabbed on to her ass. She couldn't help but gasp. Nathan pulled away and gave her a sly smile. He wrapped one of her legs around his hips. He moved his lips to her neck, her collarbone, her jugular and then back to her swollen lips. Addison felt ravaged and she loved it. She kissed him back feverishly and opened her mouth slightly to invite his tongue into her mouth. Nathan took her invitation and she moaned at his gentleness, the feel of the softness of his tongue and his taste. She couldn't get past his taste. She wanted more but a nasty thought worked its way into her head and she couldn't shut out the fact that perhaps Nathan was in for a one nighter. It wasn't what she was going for but the idea was still in the back of her mind. She pulled her lips away from Nathan and pushed on his chest so she could look at his gorgeous face. She knew she couldn't continue with this charade.

“I'm sorry. I can't...” She said and started to walk away. Nathan grabbed her hand and she turned around to look at him but found her gaze inching toward the floor. She shook her head and turned to walk away.

“Addie! Don't leave.” Nathan told her. Addison kept walking away. “Addie! Hold on, I'll drive you home.” And he ran up beside her and took her hand. She flinched slightly but felt his thumb rub the top of her hand and she relaxed.

“So what's on your mind?” Nathan asked Addison when he drove up the drive and parked the car.

“What makes you think that I have something on my mind?” She asked quietly. He gave her a look like she should have known to hide the look on her face better. “Listen, I'm really sorry about tonight. I don't...” Nathan shook his head at her. He didn't want to hear I'm sorry again for the umpteenth time that week.

“Just shut up.” He told her softly. She turned around and looked at him insulted.

“What?” She began but Nathan cradled her neck and kissed her hard on the mouth. She sat there with the breath knocked out of her.

“Goodnight Addison.” Nathan told her. Addison blushed and looked down and opened the passenger car door.

“G'night.” She said lightly and got out of the car with Nathan following her. He slowly walked up to his front door and turned to watch Addison. She was such a graceful person. He could certainly use a cold shower tonight.
