“It was really nice meeting up with you Nicole, I hope we see each other when I come around,”
Grace said hugging her.
“Me too Grace, I hope we meet soon, I won’t forget to keep up this time, don’t pressure yourself too much or hide away okay? You can have fun while studying,”
“I will keep that in mind, don’t forget what I told you too,”
“I won’t, thank Grace,”
Nicole said as her cab drove off leaving Grace In the walkway to her house, she had dropped her off after they were done at Vhrisma, she had fun today and she got to check out lots of new pieces that arrived at Vhrisma when she was away, above all, she had a heart to heart talk with Grace, someone who knew her as her, in the whole of Florida, it was both emotional and refreshing to see someone who knew the real her, on the drive home, she kept thinking about the things Grace said, what if it is true that she was in love with Rafael, what’s going to happen? And would she be able to tell him the truth as Grace suggested? How would she start, what would she say was their motive for doing something so shady? The more she thought of it the more unhappy she became, she realized she has been hiding from reality and having a fun time cosplaying Natalie that she had forgotten for what her place is, this couldn’t possibly go on forever, Rafael would find out one way or the other, even if Natalie doesn’t show up anytime soon.
“Natalie? I am home,”
Rafael announced as he walked into their shared room, she went to hug him, her heart heavy, her conversation with Grace earlier had brought her to a small reality of what she really had and how much she had to lose, she could finally admit to herself that she had feelings for her husband.
“Baby, how did your day go?”
“It was cool, I met a friend, Grace, and she is off to Harvard,”
She announced as she helped him take off his office clothes.
“Wow, your friend must be smart, I thought all your friends are models? How come I have never heard of this one?”
“Yeah, she is my only friend,”
She answered inside, she couldn’t tell him that, not yet.
“Yeah, Grace is a friend I met at Vhrisma and she is not very social and prefers a quiet life,”
“Like your sister right?”
“Yes, like her,”
“Like me,”
She added inside.
“Why is my baby so clingy today? Did you miss me that much?”
“Yes, I did,”
She responded, hugging him even more.
“Good, now show me just how much you missed me, you need more than words to convince me,”
He teased, Nicole knew what he was asking for but he just got back and hadn’t eaten anything or taken a bath, she kissed him softly and pulled off despite his protest.
“That’s not enough to convince me,”
He complained.
“I know, you need to eat something and also take a bath, I can’t stand sweat,”
“Are you trying to say I am smelling?”
“Oh, no, that’s not what I meant, I just want you to eat something and freshen up,”
“I know, I am just playing you, I will be back,”
He said kissing her again and walking into the restroom, she went down to the cook and told him she would like dinner for two, which was to be brought to their room, when she got back he was still in the restroom, he came out a few moments later in just his towel, which he readily took off, she stared at his hardness her mouth suddenly running dry, no matter how many times she gave herself to him or had him she could never get tired, all it took was to see him naked for her to be horny again.
“I want food now,”
He said, she took a deep breath to clear her head and nodded.
“I told the chef already, it will be here soon,”
She managed to get out the words.
“No, that’s not the food I want,”
“Oh really? What do you want then?”
“Come closer, sweetie and you will find out,”
He said opening his arms, she walked into them without thinking twice, he raised her kissing her while walking to the bed.
“I told the chef to bring the food in,”
She said remembering the chef will be there soon, not like she wanted him to stop, rather she didn’t want any distraction, she picked up the phone in the room and called the kitchen to cancel her request, while she was on call, he lifted her blouse, she wasn’t wearing a bra, he touched her nipples with his hands making her jump, she almost dropped the phone, she quickly gave instructions to the chef and ended the call just as his mouth captured her nipple, sucking on one and then the other, she dropped the phone and arched back to give him more room, he carried her up and dropped her on the bed, taking off her shorts, he spread her legs apart, kissing her thighs, she moaned watching him, the first time he had done this to her had been heavenly and since she has been addicted to it, she liked it when he ate her out and kiss her after, she loved the taste of herself on his lips, his lips grazed her entrance and all thoughts flew away as his skilled mouth performed their magic again.
His mouth left her when she was almost there, he left her on the edge again, he was always doing that, she looked at him with pleading eyes.
“Please, please, don’t stop,”
She begged, she wanted him to finish what he started, he couldn’t just leave her on the edge, he smiled.
“I am not stopping, have I ever stopped halfway? I want to be inside you when you come, I want to feel you come apart with me inside you,”
He said pushing himself between her legs, she opened wider for him and he was inside her, thrusting in and out, creating sync that she knew she could only get with him, she matched his energy as much as she could give him back just as much as he was giving.
