The Lake of Love (Adult Novel 18+) (17 page)

Chapter Eighteen: Miranda’s Point of View

I was standing next to Charlie, Nathan’s father, whilst he and a couple
of familiar faces I had met at functions, to do with the business, talked about
some irrelevant subject that I had long since tuned out too. I smiled politely
and nodded my head. The conversation was of no interest to me, but Charlie was
a friend and talking to him kept Frank at bay. My soon to be ex-husband was
circling the room like a shark. It was clear to me that he wanted to gauge how
successful the dinner with me had been and know if there was a possibility of
doing it again in the near future. Of course I couldn’t exactly tell him that I
hated his guts and being in his presence made me feel so sick that I just
wanted to die.

No. That would not be a good idea.

I have had quite enough of Frank for one day. He could wait.

The man I wanted was Nathan.

The very thought of his name gave birth to a tingling sensation down the
length of my spine. It was like someone had just brushed the tip of a feather
along my back. That’s what he did to me. He made me feel young again. He made
me feel happy again. The things that he could do to me made me feel like a
woman again.

I raised the wine glass to my lips and secretly cast my eyes out across
the room. The sheer volume of people cramped into the open planned kitchen just
made any chance of spotting him near impossible. Nevertheless, I continued to
look, as the conversation within the group went on. Two or three more minutes
of mindless chatter went by when finally a break in the crowd revealed the man
of my dreams.

Nathan was standing near the kitchen table.

He was gorgeous. And I am just not saying that because he is my lover.

He really was gorgeous.

The proof of this fact was the amount of young woman currently talking to
him. Something painful stabbed at my heart. It felt like someone was slowly
pushing a knife through my ribcage. I could hear the demon of jealousy mock me
with its laughter deep within the depths of my unconscious mind. I knew I
shouldn’t be jealous. Nathan would never betray me not in a million years.

‘You had thought that about, Frank,’ said the demon.

Nathan was different.

He loved me.

Frank loved you.

I had to give my head a quick shake to dislodge such thoughts. Nathan
wouldn’t ever cheat on me. I just hated the idea of these pretty young women
with their short skirts, tight skin and perky breasts chatting up my boyfriend,
although I did have to raise my wine glass to hide my smile. Nathan looked more
than a little uncomfortable. He resembled one of the sad caged dogs you see
that the rescue centre. He just wanted to get away from them and be free.

Our eyes met from opposite sides of the room.

My heart instantly skipped a beat at the sight of that sweet smile.

That’s it. I couldn’t wait any longer.

‘Excuse me,’ I said to the group and stepped away from them.

A quick nod of my head directed Nathan to where I wanted him to go and
with that I headed towards the garden.

* * *

I stepped out through the patio door and quickly wished I hadn’t. Frank
was sitting on one of the wooden chairs in the garden. Unconsciously he looked
me up and down in that way that used to make me feel sexy. Now it just revolted
me. This man had openly fucked woman after woman behind my back throughout our
marriage. I had only stayed with him out of duty to Sheridan. I didn’t want her
to grow up in a broken home, but now my baby was turning into a woman and I
didn’t have to put up with his crap any longer.

‘Hi.’ I forced a smile through the wall of hatred.

‘Hi.’ He got up from the chair to face me. ‘Tonight was nice.’ He was
never one to beat around the bush. ‘I think, Sheridan, was really happy about
the surprise birthday party.’ I nodded my head in reply and sipped on my wine.
I could hardly bring myself to speak to him. This man had seduced me when I was
younger with his boyish looks and charming personality. Our time together had
been fun. It was mostly expensive trips, great parties and wild sex. Neither of
us meant for me to get pregnant, but it happened very early on and Frank talked
me into marrying him with promises of how great our life would be. The problem
is with Frank is that once you get beyond the boyish charms and the good looks;
there is nothing but an empty void. He had nothing within his soul. I had been
so frightened by the prospects of having a baby that I bought into everything
Frank had to say, but he’s a business man and a very good one at that. He could
sell shoes to a man with no feet. I bought into his lies and even before Sheridan
was born I knew he had started to fool around.

He couldn’t help it. It’s just how Frank is programmed.

He does stupid things because if he stopped doing them he would probably
end up killing himself. I suspect he hates himself more than I do, but he will
get no sympathy from me. Throughout our marriage, I felt useless and worthless.
I felt like my existence in this world was meaningless. Sheridan was the only
good thing I had. In time I just got use to feeling this way. It was like I was
conditioned to feel nothing, but a strange numbness until the day I finally
left this life.

It changed when I met Nathan.

Staying up to wait for him to arrive at the lake house that night was the
best decision I had ever made. I will never forget to look in his eyes for as
long as I live. He was in love with me at first sight. It was not the type of
love you confused with a crush or lust. It was the true sense of the word. He
was truly and deeply in love with me. I felt drunk with delight. All the years
that Frank had put me down and made me feel like shit were washed away with a
single look from Nathan. He made me feel beautiful and the emotions just went
straight to my head. I have never been so forward in all my life, but once the
wheels started turning there was no way I was going to stop. Going down on
Nathan after I only just met him was the naughtiest and most exciting moment of
my life. I think he enjoyed it too.

‘Do you think we can do it again?’

Frank’s words snapped me back to reality.

I wanted so badly to say no.

‘Yes,’ I replied. Unconsciously I glanced over his shoulder, as Nathan
appeared in the patio door. Instantly his eyes narrowed at the sight of Frank.
If looks could kill then my boyfriend would be charged with first-degree
murder.

‘Bedroom,’ Nathan mouthed silently. A very subtle nod of my head
confirmed I would be there as soon as I could get free. Nathan gave the back of
Frank’s head one last glare before he turned away and disappeared back inside

‘How about we have dinner next week?’ asked Frank.

‘Sure.’ I let out a weary sigh. I hated watching Nathan walk away. I just
wanted to hold him so badly. ‘How about we talk about this tomorrow?’ I
suggested. Before Frank could form any sort of reply I quickly added. ‘I have
to go get more drinks for everyone,’ and then quickly headed back into the
house leaving my soon to be ex-husband in my dust.

***

I checked to make sure the coast was clear before tapping gently on
Nathan’s bedroom door. The door opened with a faint click. Deep brown hazel
coloured eyes that looked deep into the windows of my soul and a heart-melting
smile met me. A firm hand gripped my wrist and pulled me into the darkened
bedroom. My heart was suddenly beating excitedly against the inside of my
ribcage, as I was pressed up against the bedroom door.

Nathan pressed his lips against mine.

I instantly sank into the kiss. I had wanted this all night.

My fingers brushed through his hair, as my tongue slipped into his mouth.
Butterflies fluttered wildly within the depths of my stomach at the feel of his
tongue rolling against mine. Something nice warmed the core of my soul at the
feel of his strong hand lifting my right leg up off the floor, as he stroked
his palm along the back of my thigh.

A wave of disappointment washed over me when he pulled his tongue from my
mouth. ‘How did it go?’ He was devouring my face with deep passionate kisses
before I had a chance to reply.

‘I hated every second,’ I admitted before sucking on his tongue. ‘I said
that I would see him again next week.’ I dropped my hands down onto his belt
buckle and quickly flicked it open. Time was not something the two of us had a
great deal of. Usually emotions were running high whenever we found five
minutes to be alone. I had now mastered the art of releasing the beast within his
trousers in world record time.

‘You don’t have to do that.’ Nathan walked a line of kisses down my neck.

‘It’s okay,’ I reassured him. ‘I know what I’m doing.’

Nathan’s trousers dropped down around his ankles. I found myself biting
my bottom lip, as I looked down upon that long thick cock standing erect in the
air. If I had been wearing my panties they would have been soaked through by
this point. He forced his lips firmly against mine, as his hands hitched up the
base of my black dress over my hips. The sheer level of anticipation for what
was about to happen was forcing my heart to beat so hard that I felt like it
might explode out through my chest, but this was the power Nathan had over me.
I didn’t just want him. I needed him. I needed him so badly.

‘I don’t know how long we have until someone spots us missing,’ I said.

‘We’ll have to be quick then.’ Nathan placed his large powerful hands on
the underside of my thighs and lifted me into the air. He did it with the ease
of a parent picking up a small child off the floor. I don’t think I would ever
be able to get over how easily my boyfriend could manhandle me. There was
something overwhelmingly sexy about his raw strength. I wrapped my legs around
his waist to help him to support my bodyweight. Nathan pinned me to the bedroom
door by pressing his muscular torso against me.

He removed one of his hands from my thigh.

I couldn’t see what he was doing, but I knew. He was guiding his dick to
where it needed to go.

A burst of pleasure went off like a premature firework on New Year’s Eve
at the feel of his dick pressing up against my soaking wet lips. I wrapped my
arms around his neck and hugged him even tighter, as I prepared myself for what
was about to happen.

My mouth hung open. Nathan had pushed his cock all the way up inside of
me. I could feel the warmth of his body deep within mine. Strong hands grabbed
my ass cheeks and he began to roll his hips.

‘Oh god,’ I sighed into his ear.

Nathan was not playing. This was not going to be a long slow pleasing
love making session. There was going to be no foreplay that slowly built up
into a mind-blowing orgasm. We didn’t have the time. No one could know about
our relationship. It had to remain a secret. We couldn’t let anyone realise
that we were both missing from the party because we didn’t need people asking
themselves certain questions.

This was going to be a hard, deep and fast fuck.

Within seconds, my breathing was already becoming laboured. It was hard
to catch my breath when he was drilling his cock inside of me so quickly. It
seemed to take the signals of pleasure at least a second to transmit to my
brain when Nathan thrust his dick into my pussy, but he was fucking me so hard
that before one signal had completed the journey to my mind another one was
already on the way. It was a sensory overload. It didn’t help that he was
pumping his cock so far inside that I could feel his balls slapping against my
ever increasingly wet lips.

‘Are you kidding me?’ laughed a voice from the other side of the door.

‘Don’t stop,’ I whispered into his ear.

I don’t think Nathan had any intention too.

‘What did he say to you?’ asked another voice.

Tremors of pleasure began to quake up through my body. They started off
small like little ripples across the surface of a pound, but I could feel the
pressure increasingly, as the level of euphoria started to flow through my body
and infiltrate my mind.

‘He said he really liked me and thought I was beautiful,’ explained a
third voice.

‘Baby,’ Nathan groaned the word into my ear.

He was panting heavily, as if he’d just finished running a marathon. His
strong hands gripped my ass tighter, as he pulled my hips forward and started
fucking me even harder than before. His dick was penetrating so deep inside of
me that I was quickly losing my mind. Any concept of self-control I once had
was well and truly gone. The pressure building inside of my body was mind
numbing.

‘I thought he was married?’ the conversation on the landing continued.

‘He is.’ They laughed.

‘Baby, I’m going to cum,’ he warned me, but I had already won that race.

My body simply couldn’t take anymore. Something wonderful exploded like a
dying star within the depths of my sensitive pussy. A bright white light
flashed within my mind’s eye. My mouth hung open and I fought to contain the orgasmic
scream I wanted to cry out. I could feel my hips jolt and my muscles contract
tightly. My back arched off the surface of the door and my pussy gripped at the
shaft of his thick monster cock.

Nathan groaned loudly through his nose.

If it hadn’t been for the women laughing at that exact moment in time
they would have heard him. A wave of tingles rushed down the full length of my
spine at the feel of all that nice hot cum pouring into my pussy. I hugged
Nathan even tighter, as he rammed his dick harder and harder into my body. In
this position, I could do nothing. I wanted so badly just to force my
bodyweight down against him. I wanted to take him even deeper inside and force
him to keep climaxing into my pussy, but he was in complete and utter control.

Nathan was pounding his cock into me with every ounce of strength he had
left. I knew my baby well enough to know that he wouldn’t be able to keep the
rate of this fuck up for too much longer. He had already reached his limit, but
it was clear to see that he had missed me tonight, as much as I had missed him.
