Chapter 32
Fiona snuck up behind Kevin and slid her arms around his waist, trying to avoid making eye contact with Nick.
"Hey baby" he said as he turned and kissed her forehead lightly. "We bought all kinds of food. Are you hungry?"
Nick stared at her over Kevin’s shoulder, making her skin tingle. "I know that I sure am!" he said with a smirk on his face.
Fiona shuddered at the sound of his voice and the lustful look in his eyes. She knew exactly what he meant by his comment and her mind raced.
"Are you cold?" Kevin said, confused by the way her body shook underneath him.
"A little. Do you think Howie would mind if I took a shower?" she asked.
"I’m sure he wouldn’t care. But, what are you going to wear?"
Fiona smiled. "I’m sure Kris will let me borrow something of hers."
Releasing her from his embrace, Kevin pointed in the direction of the guestroom. "Go get a shower and I’ll get Kristina to bring you some clothes."
"Thanks" Fiona said as both her body and mind drifted away from Kevin. Under her breath she mumbled, "I should probably take a COLD shower."
Finding the guest bathroom she flipped the light switch and turned the water on, adjusting the temperature, as she wanted it. She untied the bikini top and let if fall at her feet before sliding out of the bottoms, careful to lay them on the counter top. She tested the water and then entered the shower, allowing the warm water to trickle over her shoulders and down her back. The hot water was soothing as she sighed heavily underneath the jets massaging her back.
Her heart was torn in two different directions and she began to cry softly at her dilemma. She didn’t want to hurt either one of them, but she knew what her heart ached for. Better yet, ‘Who’ her heart ached for. But how was she going to tell them without starting a war? Maybe she didn’t have to. Maybe she could just stay away from both of them for a while, and everything would work out in the end.
"Yeah right!" she muttered, not realizing the bathroom door had opened and she was no longer alone. "Damn him!" she continued. "That little fucker giving me that smirk, knowing what it does to me. I could strangle him!"
From behind, a strong set of hands covered her mouth, stifling the terrified yelp that escaped. Slowly he turned her around and she found herself staring into those crystal blue eyes again. He wasn’t smiling, the infamous smirk had been replaced by something much more serious, much more intense.
"I’m not going to hurt you, so please don’t scream" he said softly, his gaze intent. "If I let go, do you promise not to scream?"
Fiona nodded her head and he removed his hands from her mouth. Neither of them moved as they stood there, face to face, their eyes locked on each other. Suddenly, as if she had just realized that she was standing before him completely naked, Fiona instinctively covered her body the best she could.
"Don’t. You are much too beautiful to be embarrassed" he whispered as his lips descended upon hers. "Much too beautiful!"
The kiss was mind blowing, causing Fiona’s legs to buckle underneath her. Feeling her slipping from his grip, he pulled her body against his in an attempt to hold her steady, his tongue dancing around hers passionately. A soft moan escaped his throat as her fingers tangled in his hair, her other hand resting on his back. As the kiss ended, he moved his attention to her neck and earlobe, teasing her with tantalizing kisses and the occasional flick of his tongue.
"Nick, please stop!" she moaned into the steam of the hot water pulsating down on her skin. "What if Kevin finds us?"
Nick stepped back and looked at her, a smile returning to his face as he took her hand and placed it on the crotch of his shorts. "I need you, baby. And you need me too."
Fiona groaned as she felt his erection growing beneath the fabric. "What do you want me to do?" she asked shyly.
"You KNOW what you have to do," he said as he licked her bottom lip and then stepped out of the shower, leaving her breathless and whimpering.
She watched as he peeked out the bathroom door to make sure that no one saw him as he slipped out and down the hallway. He turned briefly and winked at her before making his escape. Standing there, her heart feeling as if it was going to beat out of her chest, her body aching for his touch, she screamed out in frustration.
Nick heard the yell and laughed out loud to himself as he made his way back to the kitchen.
