Sweet Temptation (49 page)

“I couldn’t handle seeing you the way you were, after what they did to you, Skylar. Every time I close my eyes that’s all I would see,” Nate said.

“Did you ever consider how I felt, Nate? They did that to me, not you. I went through it all with no one there to stop it, and I couldn’t stop it myself. You only saw so much,” she said. Standing up, she made her way to the door. Nate stood and walked towards her. “That didn’t give you an excuse to walk away and leave me there; you should have told me then. Instead you walked away and left me there to deal with it alone!” she shouted at him.

Nate stood in front of her, “What did you expect me to do, Skylar? I watched as one of those guys raped you, and then after that Lucas wanted to do the same to you. Jesus, Skylar, it killed me seeing that,” he growled.

Skylar poked a finger into his chest, hard. “Well, I’m sorry that was hard for you to see, Nate. But I was the one that lived through that nightmare, not you!” She screamed back at him. How dare he? She had been the one they had raped, not him. She understood that if the situation was reversed it would have killed her, too, but she would have stayed by his side if he went through that.

“And it should never have happened in the first place, if only you had stayed home,” he whispered.

Skylar turned away from him, “It wouldn’t have mattered at all, he would have found me and done it anyway,” she whispered to herself.

Nate grabbed her shoulders and spun her around to face him. “I would have protected you, Sky. There would have never been a way for him to even get close to you, but I can’t do that when I have no idea where the hell you are.”

Skylar shook her head and looked away from him. No matter what he said, Lucas still would have found a way to her. She was suddenly sick of him touching her.

“Will you stop grabbing me, Nate? I’ve had enough of your grabbing, yelling, screaming, and demanding answers. I’m over this. You need to leave. I’ve asked you once and I’m telling you now for the last time!” she yelled at him. Standing near the door, she held it open for him to leave.

Nate crossed his arms over his chest and smiled at her.

Frowning at him, she growled, “What are you smiling at?”

* * *

Nate couldn’t help the smile that came over his face. If she thought he was going to leave, she had another thing coming. Taking a step towards her, he told her, “Get on the bed.”

Skylar snorted at his demand. Breathing in, he growled this time, “Get. On. The. Bed.” It had been too long since he tasted, touched, and made love her. And he lost all control he ever had right now, just seeing her.

Skylar crossed her arms over her chest. “Are you kidding me? No, Nate,” she replied.

Closing his eyes, he counted to ten slowly in his head. He didn’t want to stay away from her for a minute longer, but after what he saw at that house and what that guy did to her, it killed him inside... In his dreams, she asked him for help, to stop it from happening, but he couldn’t; he just stood there watching it happen. Skylar screamed his name several times asking him to help her, but he couldn’t move towards her to do just that. Then he would wake up; sweat running down his chest and breathing heavily. It was just a dream, always a bloody dream. He knew when he arrived that she was unconscious, and that she wasn’t yelling for help.

Opening his eyes, he noticed Skylar looking at him with a worried looked. Shaking his head, Nate moved towards her, but she stepped back, away from him. He needed to have her now and not a minute later. “Please get on the bed, Skylar,” he begged.

Skylar dropped her arms beside her, “That is so not going to happen, Nate. Who do you think you are, coming in here and demanding things? I want to know the reason you left me at the hospital over three weeks ago.” Skylar was going to stand her ground, not just drop everything because he said so. Jesus.

“I told you, I couldn’t handle seeing you like that, baby.”

“Don’t baby me, Nate. If you couldn’t handle that, how the hell are you going to handle anything else that might happen between us, if it ever does? I need someone by my side, Nate, no matter what. Not someone that will run when something happens.”

“I needed time to myself to figure out stuff, Sky,” he whispered.

“Really? And why the hell do you need time to yourself? It should have been me leaving for some time for myself, not you. Also, you don’t tell me anything that is going on with you. The only times I find out it’s either from Dom or Jack; they’re the only ones that tell me what’s going on with you.”

“What the hell are you talking to Jack for?” he yelled.

“Excuse me?”

“Why are you talking to Jack?” he asked her again.

“Out of all that, you only got Jack’s name?”

“Answer the question, Skylar,” he growled again. He couldn’t help it, but by the sounds of it, his friend was trying to get something that didn’t belong to him.

Breathing out, she answered, “Since you’ve been gone, doing God knows what, I’ve gone out with Dom and Jack several times. Craig and Alex as well. I don’t see a problem with what I did.”

“Have you gone out with just Jack alone, Skylar?” He stomped over towards her and grabbed her arm.
What the hell was she doing with him
?

Ripping her arm out of his grip, she moved towards the door. “You have no right asking that question, Nate. You left, remember? I knew after you did that, you didn’t want anything to do with me anymore. I left messages, but I got no reply. What did you expect me to do? Just sit here like a good girl and wait for you to return? I sent text messages and left voice messages for you. I got nothing back from you, Nate,” she cried, shaking her head. “You need to leave, Nate. I have things to do.”

After that, she walked out of the room and went to the kitchen. But she didn’t get that far; Nate reached for her arm and swung her around to face him. “Did you sleep with him?”

“Why is it your business if I did or not, Nate? You weren’t here with me.”

Growling, he pushed her against the wall in the hallway.

“Did you sleep with anyone while you were gone?”

“No, I couldn’t. You’re all that I thought about.”

“And you expect me to believe that? You could have replied to my messages and told me what was going on with you,” she sobbed. “I needed you here with me, helping me get through it all, but no, you couldn’t handle it and you left. Dom, Jack, Craig, and Alex helped me through it while you were
gone
.” She couldn’t do this anymore with him. He had to leave or she would end up doing something that they both would regret later.

“I’m not going anywhere now, baby.” Nate lightly kissed down her neck, across her collarbone, and up the other side of her neck as he sucked in her earlobe.

              “Nate,” she gasped. Just hearing her say his name like that made him harder than he had ever been in his life. He ground his cock into her belly, so she could feel what she did to him.

“ I need to get the images out of my head with what they did to you that night, and to make sure I’m not dreaming this and that you are really here in front of me, please, baby. I need you.” he whispered in her ear.

Skylar shuddered at his words and her pussy quivered at the thought of having his cock pounding into her, erasing the memory of what those bastards did to her. “I can’t,” she whispered.

Nate picked her up and walked back into the bedroom. Kissing down her neck and up over her chin, he claimed her lips again. Groaning at the taste of her sweet lips, Nate grabbed her ass and pulled her closer to him. Skylar moaned at the feeling of his hardness rubbing her clit through her shorts. She rotated her hips over his erection, sliding up and down over it. Ripping the front of his shirt open to feel skin on skin, she ran her nails over his nipples. Nate hissed when her nails scratched over his nipples and down his chest.

“You have too many clothes on, baby,” Nate groaned. Leaning back, he pulled off her shirt and bra and moved towards the bed. Gently laying her on it, he reached down and slowly unzipped his jeans. Skylar watched as the zipper slowly went down and whimpered. She swore her heart would stop beating at the sight of him, all male, every ounce of him. When the zipper was down, he pushed it apart enough that she could see the tip of his hardness, glistening with a drop of pre-come. She licked her lips at the thought of tasting him again; her own juices were running down her thighs. It had been a long three weeks without sex, especially with Nate.

She couldn’t wait any longer to taste him and crawled to the end of the bed, looking up at him. She had to talk first, “Nate, there’s something I need to tell you.”

“I can’t stand another minute without touching you, tasting you, or sliding my cock inside your sweet wet pussy, baby,” he told her while stroking his length.

She loved how he told her what he liked doing to her. Just the sight of him made her wet and him saying those words made her juices gush out of her.

Skylar laid down on the bed on her back and leaned her head over the edge; the bed was the right height for what she wanted to do to him, if he got what she was doing. Smiling up at him, Skylar grabbed his leg and pulled him forward. Nate was unsure of what she was going to do, but he went willingly towards her as long as she touched him in any way. Leaning further over off the bed, she pulled down his jeans in one quick movement, reached up for his cock and stroked it several times before she brought it to her mouth. Slipping her tongue out, she licked the head of his cock and loved how his whole body shuddered at her touch. Skylar looked up at him and smiled wickedly before she opened her mouth and took him all the way in, hitting the back of her throat as she sucked him, tight and hard.

“Jesus Christ, Sky,” Nate groaned. He couldn’t think straight with her mouth around his cock like that. He loved watching her suck on his cock, it was exciting as hell. She gripped him with one hand while working her hot little mouth over him. Rubbing her tongue on the underside, she drew him in even deeper and that almost made him come down her damn throat.

“Witch,” he growled at her. She couldn’t help it. It had been too long since she had his cock in her mouth and the taste of him drove her crazy. Skylar lifted her other hand to her breast and pinched her nipple, sending a shot of electricity straight to her pussy, making her whimper around his cock. Nate growled at her; the noise nearly sent her over the edge. He started moving his hips back and forward in a slow motion, driving deeper into her mouth. Insane with lust, she slid her hand over her ribs and down her stomach, towards the apex of her thighs.

“Skylar,” Nate whispered to her. She knew Nate was watching where her hand was going, and that only turned her on more. Lightly rubbing over her clit in a circular motion, she slide further down and pushed two fingers inside of her, moving them in and out at the same pace she was sucking his cock. She could feel the head against her throat. More of her cream coated her fingers as she moved them faster and her mouth tightened around his cock.

“Fuck,” Nate groaned. Watching her finger herself was killing him. “Enough.” He pulled away from her, taking several breaths in, trying to control his racing heart. He needed to be inside her now. Nothing else mattered at this point; he only wanted to feel her pussy milking him for all its worth.

Skylar sat up quickly and pulled Nate onto the bed. She was taking control this time, pushing him down onto his back, and straddling his hips. He grabbed her hips to stop her. “We need to take this nice and slowly, baby.” He groaned. Nodding, she slid down on his thick, hard cock, bit by bit, and shivered at the feeling of fullnes
s
.
She waited for the pain to hit from the penetration, but she felt nothing. She was a little tender due to what happened that night, but that was it – no flash backs, nothing. Only Nate below her. Once she was comfortable she started to slowly move up and down. Nate clenched his teeth; this was killing him.

“I need to go faster, Nate,” she whispered.

“You sure, baby? I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Please,” she moaned.
