Chapter 22
“No sir,” blushed Nick.
“Shoot son don’t be embarrassed. This is 2000. It’s just you two looked so in love.”
“We are,” said Nick looking at Kat.
“Are you disappointed about not being in the Keys,” inquired Kat.
“I wish we could have gone. I wanted to show you so much, but we would have only been hounded.”
“We’ll go another time,” reassured Kat.
“Yeah we will. I’m just happy being with you.”
“Now you have my curiosity up. You look familiar, but I can’t place you,” said the older man.
“I’m in a singing group sir,” replied Nick.
“That’s it! You’re on my granddaughter’s walls,” he exclaimed.
“You granddaughter likes the Backstreet Boys. Makes sense,” stated Kat.
“Um…is your granddaughter here,” said an apprehensive Nick.
“No she will be here next weekend. Now don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone you are here. I’m not about to ruin my reputation after 22 years renting cabins to people.”
“Thank you sir.”
“Think nothing of it. Is that why you are here instead of the Keys?”
“Yep. The press were tipped off and camping out at the hotel where we had reservations.”
“Well I’m sorry that happened to you two, but I’m glad you are here. Here let me give you all my numbers that way you get in a jam you can call me.”
“Thank you,” said Kat with a smile.
Nick took the information the older man gave him along with the keys to the cabin. They got back in the rental car and drove up from Gatlinburg into the mountains. Arriving at the cabin, they unload their luggage and food. The Hideaway was an accurate name for the cabin. It was tucked away on the mountain with a beautiful view. It was equipped with a full kitchen; fireplace, Jacuzzi inside and Hot tub on the corner of the discreetly enclosed back deck. Kat put their food away while Nick put the bags in the bedroom.
“You need any help,” he asked walking back downstairs to the kitchen.
“Nope. I’m…. done,” replied Kat shutting the cabinet. “Do you want anything?”
“You,” said Nick with a sly grin.
“My, my, Mr. Carter, but how bold of you,” teased Kat with a southern drawl.
“Is that bad?”
“Not at all,” said Kat as she walked to him.
“I’m glad we are here alone. I love you.”
“I love you too. What do you want to do,” asked Kat.
“Well…”hedged Nick.
“We will do that, but how about a walk before dinner.”
“OK,” said Nick, kissing Kat’s nose.
They walked out the back door and followed the trail that led into the trees. It was beautiful and so peaceful. Katrina watched the tension of being on the road ease out of Nick’s body. She watched him look at a squirrel scurrying up a tree. The sunlight sifting through the heavy foliage danced on his blond hair. His eyes sparkled with amusement at the squirrel’s antics. Her eyes wandered down his body. He had a man’s body. Gone was the little boy that adorned her sister’s room in posters.
“What are you looking at,” asked Nick.
“You.”
“Why?”
“I was just thinking how lucky I am.”
“Awww,” teased Nick.
“Let’s go back and fix dinner,” said Kat holding out her hand.
Nick took her hand and they headed back. Katrina fixed dinner with Nick’s ‘help’. Mainly he kissed her and sampled what she was cooking. They enjoyed their dinner on the deck watching the sun go down. Nick took their plates inside and loaded them in the dishwasher. He walked back to the deck and saw Kat curled up in a chair. The breeze was ruffling her hair. Her eyes were closed. Nick was always caught off guard by her beauty. His heart filled with love for this magnificent woman that was his. He never knew love felt like this, but was glad he was experiencing it. He softly called her name. She looked at him and noticed his out stretched hand. Kat took his hand and they walked inside.
Kat took one last look in the mirror. She was wearing a navy silk camisole and short set. Taking a deep breath she stepped out of the bathroom. He had lit candles on the table by the bed. Nick was sitting on the bed with the sheet draped over his legs. He looked as nervous as she felt. Nick looked up to see her standing with the bathroom light cascading over her. She turned off the light. His eyes never left her as she walked to the bed and got under the covers. They looked at each other. After a moment Kat laughed. She stopped the moment she saw Nick’s expression.
“Oh baby, I’m sorry. I need to explain something to you. When I get really nervous I laugh.”
“Really? Why are you nervous?”
“Why are you nervous,” countered Katrina.
“I’m not! OK maybe I’m a little nervous,” admitted Nick with a grin.
“This is a big step. After this our relationship will never be the same.”
“Is that a bad thing?”
“No! However it will be different.”
Nick smiled and said, “Tell ya what…”
“What?”
“Let’s just make out. Then whatever happens, happens.”
“Sounds like a plan,” laughed Kat.
Nick lay down on his back. Kat looked down at him. He reached up and caressed her face. Sliding his hand behind her head he pulled her mouth to his. He placed a gentle kiss on her lips. Kat stretched out on his body. They looked at each other. Their lips met again this time the kiss deepened. Nick felt Kat’s lips part and he explored her mouth. He pulled back. Kat caressed his face then leaned down to trace her tongue along he jaw line. She heard his sharp intake of breath when she kissed his neck. She kissed her way up to his earlobe and sucked on it. Nick moaned and kissed her exposed shoulder. Tangling his fingers in her curls he pulled her mouth back to his. His kiss was hungry. They were both breathless when the kissed ended.
Nick whispered, “Kat are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“Cause we don’t have to d…”
She interrupted him with a kiss. He watched Kat sit up. She straddled his hips. Looking down at him, Kat grasped the hem of her camisole and in one swift motion pulled it over her head. She giggled at Nick’s expression.
“I do believe I have surprised you sir,” she said in her southern drawl.
“Yep,” choked out Nick. Kat started to lean down, but Nick stopped her saying, “No. I want to look at you.”
Even in the glow of the candles Nick could see her blush. Starting at her shoulders he ran his hands down her arms then wrapped his hands around her waist. His thumbs massaged her stomach. He watched the change in her eyes, when he cupped her breasts. He sat up and captured her mouth again. Their arms instinctively wrapped around one another. Nick trailed kisses down Kat’s neck. He heard her gasp when he sucked on her collarbone. He continued to kiss her moving to her breast. Kat tangled her fingers in Nick’s hair and arched her back as she felt him take her nipple in his mouth. His tongued teased her hardening nipple before moving to the other breast. Nick lay down on the bed taking her with him. Kat’s most intimate part was pressed against Nick’s hardening shaft. Nick groaned as he felt her rock against him. He reversed their positions. Kat was on her back looking up into Nick’s blue eyes.
He separated from her long enough to remove the remainder of their clothing. He lay on his side beside Kat, tracing patterns over her breasts, then lower. Kat’s stomach contracted when he ran his finger tips around her belly button. Kat’s breathing was ragged as she felt his hand go lower still. Nick watched her arch her back when his fingers made contact with her center. As he slid his fingers inside her, she bit her lower lip to stifle her moan. Nick leaned over and kissed her. She sucked his tongue in rhythm with his fingers. Nick broke the kiss, his breathing as ragged as her. No words were needed.
Kat pulled him to her again. Restting his weight on her, he felt her hand move down between them and wrap around him. She stroked him before guiding him into her. He slowly pushed into her. He groaned as he felt her stretch to accommodate him. Once he was inside her completely he stopped. He was almost afraid to move until she brought her legs up and wrapped them around his waist. He began to move in slow measured strokes. He sped up as he felt her match him thrust for thrust. Katrina watched Nick. Each expression he made turned her on more. She tightened her legs around his waist was she felt her climax begin. Nick felt her tightening around him inside and out. It was more than he could resist. Thrusting deep into her he felt himself release. Their moans mingled like their climax. Nick collapsed on Kat. When he felt her legs relax he rolled over taking her with him. Kat pulled the sheet up over them and snuggled against Nick with her head resting on his shoulder. As their heartbeats returned to normal, Nick chuckled causing Kat to look up at him.
“Well now we know where making out leads us.”
Kat giggled, “sure do. I love you Nick.”
“I love you.”
Nick watched Kat as she drifted off to sleep. He reached over and picked up each candle, blowing it out. He hugged her closer as he fell into a contented sleep.
“So are you two on your honeymoon,” asked the older gentleman behind the counter.
