Man of Mystery (24 page)

“Is that a proposition now Mr. Porche? You only want to sleep in a real bed?” she jokes back at him

“The better to romp around in, yea that would be nice!” he teases her back.  hugging him placing an affection kiss on his lips and gazing into his beautiful eyes, “Thank you for a wonderful weekend, all I can say is that they keep getting better and better.” turning around to her luggage grabbing out the dog stuffed animal handing it to him “Now you have something to remember me by when I’m not with you!”

He laughs, “You’re right I do but my flowers won’t last forever and this puppy can last a long time so now I need to top this!” he jokingly replies.

Wrapping her arms around him kissing him with a longing feeling, Breathless stepping away “Will I see you soon?”

He takes a deep breath along with her “Yes most definitely, I have to finalize everything we accomplished this weekend but I will call or text you tomorrow so we can see how the week will go.  I will miss your tonight.” as he kisses her again.

“As I will miss you, stay safe.” We step out Denny and Nathan says their last goodbyes as they leave.  Tiffany and Brandy both plop down on the couch with a heavy sigh.  Looking at each other we start to giggle.  We both had an excellent weekend to go down in the record books.  Too bad it’s going to Monday tomorrow.

Nathan is surprised by the phone call from his mother about the fact he was on the news.  He had no idea she was checking on local news figuring it wasn’t important to his family.  She pried him about who he was with and what was the reason for him to be at the event.  He knows she means well but seriously does every inch of his life have to be exposed to his mother or the whole family?  He knows she is just being protective of him and the family but it wasn’t like what they always experience at home at least he hopes so.

Chapter
17

Work is busy now with the training having long hours of commuting between training at the branch and downtown.  The new pay scale is awesome giving her the extra money to get better quality outfits which of course Tiffany and Mikey help her to shop for in her little spare time.

Nathan and Brandy see each other often; at least 3 to 4 times a week and we go to the movies, art galleries, some more dinner parties (which we stay low key as always watching for TV cameras).  Nathan and Denny travel to Atlantic City during the week on occasion for short visits getting their new bar set up.  The investors spare no expensive and that business adventure is going well.  They promise to take us both for a much longer weekend once they are ready for the grand opening.  Here, Denny’s bar has become the hot spot so Denny has hired a new manager which is working out well giving him more free time to do business in Atlantic City.  Things are looking bright even though Nathan is heavily involved with Denny’s business he has more on the line to work with.  Tiffany has been a great help to Denny also since school is done now so she gets herself involved in the current bar he owns making sure things are running smoothly while reporting back to Denny of anything that needs to be done while his manager runs the show.  She loves being involved in the business sense since she is taking business management also so it’s like an internship for her which will look fantastic on her resume when she decides she wants a job.  Time flies by when Nathan decides it’s time to take a long weekend to relax since it is already coming upon Independence Day in America as he calls it.

He decides to rent a catamaran for a long weekend in July which we are all grateful for, we need the break from the hustle and bustle from our busy days.  Tiffany and Denny join us as we cruise to different places finding out what it is like to stay overnight on a boat.  We have the rare opportunity of watching fireworks while out on the water and it is mesmerizing to watch the reflection of them on the water.  It is very romantic and like always we never want the weekend to end.  Brandy has grown accustomed to being with Nathan a lot feeling like he is a part of her.

The night of the fireworks when we go to have some private time together in out stateroom changing into her silky lingerie that he adores on her which she of course only wears it him. 
Again, Mikey to the rescue on this one, he insisted she buy it when we were out shopping
Nathan comes out of the restroom area with a sweet smile on his face.  Brushing her hair out as he comes up behind her to kiss her on the neck.  As always, it sends chills down her spine thinking of the awesome love making we will be having tonight.  She closes her eyes tilting her head to let him finish caressing her with kisses up her neck.  Stopping he whispers “I have something for you.”

Silly me thinking of his erection, “Yes I know what you have waiting for me inside of those boxers” seductively say back.

He pulls away laughing much to her confusion.  From behind his back he hands her a small gift box.  Taking it a little surprised not sure what to do for a second.  Obviously it’s not a proposal since we haven’t even gone to that level and neither of us have said the “I Love You” so what could it possibly be.

Excitedly he exclaims “We
ll, are you going to open it?” coming out of my stupor opening the box.  Inside is a beautiful white gold necklace with an open heart pendent.  It has 3 diamonds up the one side.  It is the most gorgeous thing she has ever seen starting to tear up.  “I love it, this is gorgeous!” as she touches the pendent gingerly.  Looking up into his eyes he has a sweet smile on his faced pleased with her reaction.  “Look on the back” he points out turning the heart over and on the back it is engraved with “soul mate” slightly giggle at the irony of the word “mate” since he is from Australia jumping up to kiss him passionately on the lips. 

Her heart is racing at this new feeling he has just put into words with his wonderful gift.  He returns the affection with his arms wrapped around her waist.  Pulling away breathlessly whispering into his ear, “Thank you this means a lot to me” He hugs her back and pulls away slightly to look into her face.  “That is how I feel about you and when I am not around you can always have a part of me by your heart” he says softly looking her in the eye to gage her reaction as the tears fall down her cheek.  He wipes them away with a thumb a little puzzled.  “Why are you crying?”

“Because you make me so happy Nathan, I will cherish this forever and wear it every day by my heart.  I feel the same way about you.” we kiss again as he pulls her up into his arms carrying her over to the bed.

She cannot control herself as she starts to caress his whole body with desire heats up for the emotion she has for this man.  He has lifted her heart by just saying those two words, she want nothing more than to please him the best way she knows how.  He is pulling her night gown over her head as she strips his boxer grabbing his erection in one hand as pulling his hair to keep his mouth on her before she begin to explore the rest of his body.

His back is to the bed pushing him to sit as she kneels before him.  Planting soft kisses down his chest as his thumbs rub her nipples making them hard responsive to his touch. Licking around his nipples as her hand are still stoking his ever growing erection.  She lowers her mouth onto him suckle and rubbing his scrotum with her hand.  He sucks in a breath through his teeth with the excitement moaning with enthusiasm.  She continues to pleasure him feeling her own build up inside as she anticipates his warmth inside her. 

Pulling her up to kiss her on the mouth continuing the fore play he swiftly rolls her onto the bed suckling her breast cupping her sex with one hand.   Moaning running her fingers down his back as he slowly kisses and nibbles as he continues down her stomach.  Breathing hotly squirming with the arousal he slowly dips is tongue into clitoris.  Her excitement is building groaning loudly feeling that she can’t hold back anymore. Begging him for release and he travels back up to her body to plunge into her fully. 
She screams with the excitement wrapping her legs around him arching her back to have him plunge into her fully.  He thrusts she is almost at her climax.  Looking into her eyes he slows down slightly as she whimpers wanting relief.  “Look at me as we come together” he kisses her biting her lip as she complies starting into his beautiful soul filled eyes. He plunges faster as she screams out as feeling him come inside her she explodes around him.  His eyes light up as he feels the same as she does with his own loud moans. 

Trying to catch our breath kissing her again laying his head on her neck not wanting to leave this connection as she does not want him to leave cupping his butt as holding him tight inside her.  We stay like this until our hearts slowly return to a normal pace and he rolls to her side holding her in his embrace.  Softly kiss his neck cuddling into his chest.  This lovely man has her heart and her soul as he has pointed out in his gift she will cherish forever. 
She falls fast asleep with a smile on her face.

                                  *********

As always, our long weekend comes to an end and we are all back in work mode.  Her new position has been going very well and Mr. Bradshaw is pleased with her progress as he tells her so.  Before leaving work she calls Nathan to express again how much fun she had this weekend saying he feels the same which makes her heart flutter.  Holding the pendent he gave her in her hand feeling his warmth.  She constantly played with it at work with warm if not exotic thoughts of him always come to mind.  Remembering his caresses, soft words of adoration, he is the positive person who seems to influence her thoughts to be the same.  He makes her more confident is so many ways.

We plan on getting together tomorrow for dinner and for just an easy night at his apartment as she jumps into “lud”.  Telling him she has to go now since she doesn’t talk and drive asking her how “lud” is doing at her old age.  Giggling as she starts her up, she purrs to life.  “She is still alive and kicking.  Don’t ever think less of her” telling him
making him chuckle back.  Letting him know she will call him when she gets home, hang up and pull out of the parking area.

As she sits at the traffic signal playing with her necklace reminiscing about how Nathan has come into her life and swept her away.  He is the best thing that has ever that has happened to her.  The light changes so she starts to go.

Screeching and a crack is the last thing she hears and can’t see clearly, her body is jolted when her head hits the driver’s side window along with her left shoulder.  Pain is searing right up her shoulder blade into her now aching head.  She can’t seem to be able to focus anymore and something wet is pouring into her left eye.  Trying to move her right arm but it is sluggish in responding, her left arm is totally not responding.  Are those screams she hears? Is that someone or a ghost running towards her?  Feeling out of her body like a dream or a nightmare not sure what is going on, someone’s hands on her.  In a blur she hears “Are you alright?!’ but she can’t focus on the face in front of her.  Everything starts to go black as if she is in a deep sleep.

Still not aware of where she is trying to open her eyes, the light is bright and part of her thinks she is dead.  Her brain thinks she must have died somehow you are now to be judged.  Her thoughts saying
I’m not a bad person and even though I haven’t really lived my life I am at peace
. 
At least I have found my soul mate and drift back off thinking of Nathan’s necklace.
 
He is her soul mate and the world goes black again
.

Seemingly to be waking from a bad dream as her eyes open trying to focus on the surroundings.  Something is on her face and in her nose which isn’t really comfortable. Moving her right arm to touch it and it’s some sort of tube.  Trying to focus her eyes turning her pounding head and there he is, with his head down next to her.  Is she still dreaming or what is happening hearing a beeping in the background when Nathan picks his head up off the bed that she just figured out that she is in looking her eye to eye.  He looks really tired with rings around his eyes like he hasn’t slept in a long time. “Hi” his voice sounds rough.  Trying to speak but her throat is dry “Hi” which comes out in a whisper. 

A tear escapes his eye wanting to reach out to him to see what is wrong but she can barely move.  He takes her hand kisses it softly as she moves a finger against his cheek feeling his warmth.  Trying to clear her voice but her throat is so try it cracks “Where am I?” confused and in pain.

“Oh Baby, I thought I lost you!” as another tear escapes his eye “You are in the hospital, you had a really bad accident, but you are back now thank God.” He perks up “Let me call the doctor and see what we can get you” as he pushes the button beside the bed.

Still not understand what’s going on and her head hurts really badly.  Thinking this is the worst hangover ever.  Her left arm doesn’t respond at all turning her head slowly to see why.  It is in a sling or something.  What is happening to her! Her eyes show the anxiety.  Nathan notices saying, “It’s ok, it’s just a dislocated shoulder, you will be fine don’t try to move it ok!?” trying to nod but her head hurts so badly when the nurse comes in.  She takes out the tubes checking to make sure she is breathing ok and other stuff guessing since she is too dazed to know.  Her mouth is so parched she whisper water?   The nurse gives her some ice chips which helps sooth her scratch throat.  That works for now at least.

The doctor will be in soon the nurse tells Nathan and lets us have a moment to ourselves.  The ice helps her sore throat and Nathan is very helpful in making sure she doesn’t try to swallow them whole.  Once she feels she can speak “What happened and why am I here?”
