As requested, here is a continuation of the story of Nate and Amelia. I hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think, or what you'd like to see, in the comments. You never know, your idea might make it into the next one.
*************************
"Whatever the hell that was," Amelia slurred as if drugged, "I like. A lot."
"I was worried I hurt you," Nate said. She was still on his lap and he was still deep inside her, as hard as ever.
"Actually, you did," she said. She kissed just below his ear and around the front of his neck to his adam's apple. "I didn't even know I liked it like that. So rough."
It was strange, sex without protection, but she found it just amplified everything somehow. He was opening up all sorts of forgotten fantasies and hidden pleasures in her. What the hell had taken them so long? He filled her up as if they were designed for each other. She hadn't even been on a date in... wow, two years? That long? Yeah, she thought. She kept an awesome little vibrator in her top drawer, but she didn't think she'd be needing it anytime soon.
"I'm afraid to move," Nate said, his deep voice rumbled against her torso. God, he was sexy, and he didn't have any idea. It was all over him, his body language, the way he dressed, everything. He didn't realize how easily he could've done so much better than Paula.
"So don't," she whispered, kissing his neck. It pained her to think about what he'd been through with Paula. Her little sister was an expert at manipulation, especially with men. She ate up attention, especially generosity, like it was candy. Kindness, sensitivity, even trust, it was never enough and she just kept going. If only Nate knew.
He gave because he had so much to give, and with no expectation of gain from it. The sweet, naive doofus that he'd always been, he was thrilled that someone as pretty and well built as Paula had wanted him. But Paula didn't actually want him. She wanted what she wanted, no matter where it came from. Amelia knew something about her sister that no one else did. It would've all been coming out soon and there was nothing Paula could do to stop it... if she had the good sense to move out of the way of this particular speeding freight train. Well, that's what big sisters were for, and that was the main reason Amelia had chosen an apartment so close to theirs. She'd be there for the aftermath, but after what Paula had done to Nate, she needed to have reality slap her good and hard.
Amelia shivered, not because of the cold but because Nate's hands were exploring her in places she hadn't been touched in a very long time, if ever. It's so easy to forget how good it feels to have someone enjoy you. You learn how to do without because you have no choice. But oh, he was so very, good with those hands. Those strong, eager hands. They'd been going to waste everywhere but into his work. She'd fix that, though. Yes, she would.
"Didn't mean to tickle. Sorry," he whispered, slowly guiding two fingers up to her back along her spine, "Well, not really."
"Jerk," she groaned, rolling her head to the side. He bit her again, right where it felt the best. How the fuck did he find that spot so easily? She wanted him again already. They were a mess, but she didn't care. She spent all day in a sanitary environment, washing her hands almost constantly and being so very careful with everything. She'd always loved to get messy as a kid, mud pies and finger paints and things that most girls hated. She had her feminine side, yes, but she'd been a tomboy growing up... one more reason she'd so often clashed with Paula the princess.
"Ames, I'm not going to ask you what you and Paula were talking about. I don't want to know. I really don't. The whole thing feels like... my parents used to have this huge tree in their front yard when we were living by the lake. Where we lived, they had to pay to cut down any tree with a trunk over like three inches in diameter, so they left it there. It was dead, though. Nothing more than a big birdhouse. For years it stood there and I kept thinking it would fall over one day, but it never did."
As he spoke, Nate tugged her hair gently, running the locks through his loosely closed fists. It felt amazing, and with his lips against her neck right where he'd been biting, she was getting wetter and warmer with every breath he puffed against her. Coupled with the feel of him inside her, still so hard, and his chest vibrating against her breasts, all the way down, down... heavenly. She squirmed.
"The summer after I graduated, there was this huge storm. Lightning hit that tree and it went up like a bonfire. It never fell. There was this charred stump there and the homeowner's association finally let us cut it down."
Amelia leaned back and caught his eye, brow furrowed. "I'm not sure I get the analogy. Sorry, too tired. And too horny."
Nate smiled and tugged her hair, hard. He took a bite, really hard at first, causing her to hiss, and then he backed off, teasing her. Amelia moaned through closed lips, her hips rolling on their own initiative.
"That dead old tree would probably still be there today if the lightning hadn't hit it. Like me... maybe I would've left Paula, maybe not. I had a feeling that... having you so close would have an effect on me sooner or later. I was right. I just didn't realize how much of an effect. Maybe something else would've happened, maybe not. I don't even know what I'm saying."
Amelia leaned back again, dimpling. No, she wouldn't tell him about Paula's affairs. He didn't want to know, and she didn't want to hurt him. Someday, perhaps, but not today.
Nate shook his head in wonder, grinning like a fool. "What?" She asked, concerned.
