Scarred for Love

Chapter 13

He had taken out a switchblade and he ran the cold steel up her leg and back down the other. She couldn’t help but fear for her life.

“If I can’t have you, then no one can.” She heard him say. If she wasn’t going to live, she prayed for a quick and swift death; especially when his hands wandered around the top of her legs toying with the idea of stripping her of her virginity. As he lowered his face to kiss between her legs, she screamed for dear life…

Addison woke up in the middle of the night, screaming. Nathan jumped up, scared out of his wits.

“Addie! Addie!” He began. “Addie! What is it?” Addison sat up rocking herself, crying hysterically. She looked around and realized she was in her bed. Nathan must have brought her up to her room last night. “Hey…” He began as he knelt on the bed in front of her, cradling her face in his hands gently, “It’s just a dream. You’re okay.” Addison collapsed into his chest sobbing.

“It was so real.” She told him. Nathan wrapped his arms around her. When she calmed down, he laid her down beside and facing him. “Don’t let go.” She mumbled into his chest.

“I wouldn’t dream of it.” He whispered and kissed her forehead.

Next morning, Addison woke up with beautifully sculpted arms wrapped around her still. She looked down and realized she was still wearing the dress from the night before. She tried to slowly sneak away from Nathan’s grips to go change into something more comfy when she felt his grip tighten around her. She couldn’t help but smile.

“Good morning.” She turned around in his arms and kissed his forehead as she laid back down for a little while longer.

“It is.” He told her. “And where were you heading off to so early this morning?” He referred to her attempt at sneaking out of bed.

“Can’t a lady change into something more comfortable?” She asked with a faked air of annoyance and gave up on keeping a straight face. Nathan propped himself up on his elbow with a peaked sense of interest. “If you’ll excuse me…” She began and got up off the bed. Nathan sat up as she walked around to his side of the bed en route to the bathroom.

“Need some help with the zipper?” He offered with a sexy smirk on his face. Addison figured it was harmless. She felt Nathan’s fingers gently caress the skin of her shoulder and back of her neck as he swept her hair to the side. He brushed a kiss behind her ear as he unzipped her dress and smacked her butt.

“You’re good to go.” He told her. Addison smiled at him and grabbed a few items from her closet and headed to the bathroom. A few minutes later, she came back wearing a black loose fitting tank top and light washed cutoff shorts and found Nathan still lying in bed with his hands folded behind his head looking her way. He flashed her a smile that made her want to jump him then and there. This guy is so good. And she began to think about all the things he’s done to her and wondered about the things that he could do to her. She blushed. Nathan noticed.

“Liking what you see?” He asked her teasingly. Addison hadn’t realized that when she opened her bathroom door, she had taken two steps, looked at him and froze in place. Her mouth opened like she was about to say something and then closed and then opened again but nothing came out. Nathan decided to have a little fun with this. He pushed the covers aside and got up. He walked to her, in his underwear. He caught her gaze following him, shifting from his underwear back to his lips and then to his eyes. He noticed that her breathing had picked up some too and that she was now biting her lower lip. He wrapped his right arm around the back of her waist and the other grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her lips directly onto his. He felt her shiver as his hands found their way around her back and up the back of her shirt where he could feel her soft skin. She felt like she was boiling to him. Her hands finally unfroze themselves and found their spot on his chest as she pushed him back toward the bed. He let her lead the way.
