Wondering down the stairs into the living room, she hears Nathan is talking on the phone. Not sure exactly where the study is but she does find the panel for the dumb waiter again by the French doors. So she was right they do have one for the room also, it only makes sense. Walking around the fireplace seeing there is another full bathroom thinking that the study must be next to it. The door is slightly ajar and she can hear Nathan talking. His voice seems to be raised slightly in irritation so she just peaks in quickly to let him know that she is here. He is sitting behind a massive solid cherry desk with a laptop in front of him. As he glances up to her he smiles, then continues his conversation. “Yes Mum, I told you I will figure it out, but I really need to go now. I will call you back this evening it will be afternoon for you in respect to the time zones. Love you Mum, bye.”
“Hey, are you ready to head home?” he asks trying to distract himself from the conversation he just had on the phone.
“Sure. I need to study for a final today and be ready to post my resume too. How many hours different is Australia to here?” she asks out of curiosity.
“Oh it’s like 15 hours ahead of us.” Glancing at a clock in study noticing it is like 11am which means it is 2am for them. Gosh that sounds like an awful time to catch your mom on the phone. My expression is a little confused and he chuckles. “My mum is in Hawaii right now so it’s not an early morning wake up for her exactly. It is 6 am where she is right now. It’s Ok we are used to this type of distant calls when we travel”
OK, still baffled but then again if his family travels that much that what’s expected she guesses; different time zones and all. Smiling trying to understand it all but he just shakes his head with a heartfelt grin. “Your simplicity is so sweet; I wish I had that in my life.” Sighing softly “Are you ready to head home now?” He inquires simply with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
“Well, obviously we both have a full day ahead of us but look on the bright side, tomorrow is Friday and are you still free to join me for a dance at your friend’s Denny’s Den tomorrow for a cocktail with some dancing?” giving him and her both something to look forward to she hopes.
“Yes I am as a matter of fact, my schedule has changed and I don’t’ have to leave town this weekend so I think I will take you up on that dance!” he states with enthusiasm. Her heart leaps with joy knowing she will see him again tomorrow night. Still she can’t believe it has only been a week since she has officially known him yet she yearns for him to be with her every day. Really try to pass the time when he isn’t there but her mind keeps going back to our first meeting at the bank and then the yacht and how exciting it was then and how more exciting it has become. This sensation is all new to her.
Her heart warms up, “Nathan, I really look forward to dancing with you again tomorrow night at Denny’s.” Looking somewhat downcast “I really enjoyed your company in more ways than I can explain right now.” Slightly blushing but being truthful without completely shaming herself.
“Brandy” He implores as he lifts her chin, “You have truly made my coming here the best thing in my life.” He kisses her softly on the lips “I thank my lucky stars that I met you” with a glint in his eye, “I owe you more than one dance but I will be there for you and only you tomorrow. So what time do I get to pick you up?”
“Well, I’ll probably grab a bite to eat with my friends after work and I am posting for the new position on Friday.” Saying it with a lot of enthusiasm, “So why don’t you plan on meeting me there if that’s OK?” really not sure how Friday is going to go so not wanting to set a time limit but still wanting to see him.
“That’s probably a good idea, since I have business to finish up but I will be there as soon as I can.” He brightens like he is relieved not to be on a schedule and so is she. It is amazing our relationship has bloomed without being a on scheduled, just on the whim. It’s really exhilarating and refreshing at the same time. We are both so used to dealing with schedules and when we are together it just changes everything! It’s very exciting like you never know what tomorrow might bring!
Not wanting to leave him right now she sighs “Well I do need to get home and obviously you have work to do also. If you need to get back to work I can call a cab?” She does not want to be a bother.
He is shocked that she would even think of that, “Brandy, I would never do that to you! You’re never ever going to call a cab in my presence; you will always be escorted home properly. I’m terribly sorry if you felt that way. My business can wait!” sternly and now she is really feeling like an ass he pulls her into him embracing her with a warm hug giving her a long kiss. “Don’t ever think that you are less important than my business dealing, I’m sorry for speaking harshly but you will always be worth my time no matter what, ok?”
Shaking her head yes puzzled over his sudden exasperation. Maybe he took it the wrong way which is really kind of obvious but being the gentleman that he is she guesses it was an insult. She’ll have to watch that since we are both brought up in different worlds. Appreciating his candor to be a gentleman and escort her home. What a sweet boy he is and his mother should be proud.
He pulls up in front of her apartment turning towards each other. Locking eyes she sees the same smoldering lust she feels for this man as well as a passion that is undeniable between them. He kisses her so passionately; she almost wants to turn back to his apartment to relive our passion that was so breathtaking. Her eyes closed when he pulls away having to recollect her thoughts since obviously they are still on last night episode. “You are so sweet tasting Brandy; I’m not sure if I can wait till tomorrow to see you.” He breaths so softly.
“I feel the same way, but we both have things to do today and I’m not one to impose upon your time. Wish me luck tomorrow.” saying with an afterthought trying to pull away from her true feelings of wanting.
“Brandy, you don’t need my luck, you already have it in you to be your best. I’m just the fireworks afterward!” he chuckles and kissing her again., “You are perfect in anything you do but if it makes you feel better, good luck and knock them dead!” he is so metaphoric and absolutely adorable she can’t help but laugh!
Parting with resistance on both parts, she heads into the apartment to prepare herself for the final and the new job posting. Life has never been this exciting for her and Nathan is her cherry on top. What more can she ask for as departing his company for now.
Nathan ponders over his conversation with his Mum. She means well and if anyone can understand him it is her. He needs her on his side to know his true feelings about what his father wants is not a possible situation he wants to be in. Only time will tell for now.
Chapter 11
Finishing her final test today she gets home when Tiffany comes bubbling over about her date with Denny. She is having a wonderful time with him as Brandy is having with Nathan. Slightly scowling at the thought trying to be reserved since she knows Nathan is only here for a short time. Even though she is enjoying his company very much or should she say intensely. A small part of her that feels it is only a short term engagement. She knew her odds when she started getting involved in this relationship but in the back of her mind she has a career to indulge herself into. Nathan is awesome and sexy but he will be leaving to going back home. She is just trying to prepare her heart for the fact of here and now as to the later.
Getting a tm from Nathan later that night, heart melts again, he just makes her feel so whole and yet her mind is absolved to the knowledge. Wanting him but obviously he will be leaving eventually. None the less she still smiles with glee knowing that he is thinking of her as she does him. He TM’s “How was your final today and did you get your résumé done?”
Smiling tm back, “Of course silly, did great on the final and keeping my fingers crossed that I get the job. I will hate having to give up my friends and regulars at Arnolds but that is part of growing up I guess. Will I see you tomorrow at Denny’s?” Making sure he is still planning since sh
e is already dying to see his rock hard body again.
“Of course I will be there to hear all about your day, I miss you already. BTW, last night was the best I have had since…ever! I’ll miss your warm body next to mine tonight. We will definitely have to do that VERY soon! XO until tomorrow and Good Luck!” He tms back and she sighs with such heartfelt emotions. How sweet and sexy he is. He is definitely reaching her heart and soul, scary but fulfilling all in one.
She gives him another tm “XO wishing you were here with me too.” This mystery man has her totally spell bound and her head is swimming. She has never in her life felt this desire or want for anyone before, now it has her hook, line and sinker. All she thinks about is the way he touches her making her feel real. Whenever she sees him she just wants to be with him in more than words can express. With a heavy sigh, she finishes brushing up her resume trying to concentrate on what she needs to accomplish tomorrow.
After about a few hours she blissfully goes to bed dreaming of Nathan again.
She wakes up sweating, OMG he was so real in her dreams. Remembering every touch every sensation touching her body knowing she had his hands and lips against her. Never in her life has she had a wet dream but obviously this is happening now because she found a man who she truly desires. This is crazy and exhilarating all in one! Feeling a little giddy, she decides to tm Nathan, “I just had the most amazing dream about you, wish you were here! XO” heading into the shower to cool her jets so to speak.
After a longer than normal shower she comes out to get dressed for the busy day she has scheduled and she has a tm. “Dido on the dream, I’ll see you this evening and I can’t wait! You are so beautiful Brandy. Good luck on the job again not that you need it!”
Her heart flutters, but she really needs to put her head back into the game plan for the day. She will think about tonight on her down time so to speak but it will keep burning in the back of her brain.
Pam is gone today from working the front platform. Brandy politely hands Mr. Bradshaw her application with her updated resume. He smiles brightly taking it into his office. Who knows how many people have applied for the position but only time will tell. She wants the position but not as bad as she wants Nathan right now as her body craves him internally.
Time finally passes, time to head home to get ready to see her man. Tiffany and she have discussed their plans for tonight and she is really thrilled that she is actually driving her crazy to go out tonight. She giggles knowing that she is going because Nathan will be there but all the same it’s like she feels a weight lifted off her shoulder by her enthusiasms.
Mikey and Pete are actually doing a different couple thing tonight and since they feel we are safe hanging with the Nathan and Denny they wish us good luck tonight. They promise to call us or tm us later to make sure we are OK. They really are the coolest couple ever!
Tiffany and Brandy freshen up have a quick bite to eat heading out to Denny’s Den. Tiffany is as excited as she is to see their dates tonight. She and Denny have been taking it slow which makes Brandy feel like a heel for jumping into bed with Nathan but she doesn’t regret it for obvious reasons. Brandy is really proud of her. They are getting along great and who knows what it will lead into since he is obviously staying here with his new bar and all. Thinking were does that leave her when Nathan leaves but deciding to live for the moment.
As we walk into the bar it is swarmed with the crowd. Denny’s Den has made its mark and now they are busy which is great for business. We barely get past the new bouncer when Denny’s sister Crystal comes bouncing up to us. “Jess Mark, this is Denny’s girlfriend and her BFF leave them alone!” she proclaims “Come on you two, I have a place to RR at so we can hang!” We are both grateful for her pull to getting us in. We can’t believe how much the place has grown in less than 2 weeks. It is totally amazing inwardly she nods knowing what Nathan has been talking about. He invests into businesses he knows that will grow. We let Crystal lead us to a more private booth area to hang out which is awesome. They have already expanded in such a short time but you can still see where they are constructing more to accommodate the crowd. It is very impressive. She really likes how they have the dance area somewhat enclosed so the music can be loud in there but we can still talk at a normal tone in the bar area with plenty of seating areas. Smartly done she thinks to herself. Suddenly she feels someone come up behind her. A hand runs down her arm receiving a soft kiss on her neck breathing sweetly in her ear, “What is a gorgeous girl like you doing in a place like this?” She turns to see his smiling bright blue eyes.
“You know, you really need to work on your pick up lines, they are kind of lame.” as she kisses him fully on the lips appreciating the complement for once. He scoots around the booth and snuggles up next to her placing his arm around her shoulders. Tiffany was talking to Crystal when Nathan approached and is now raising her eyebrows in amusement at our comfortable closeness. Rolling her eyes at Tif, she giggles in reply.
“Hi Nathan, you seemed to have warmed up to Brandy just fine. How is everything going for you?” Tiffany says nonchalance but she knows her; she is trying to pry for more info. That’s her silly friend; Brandy giggles again knowing what she is really doing.
“Thinks have been great especially so since I have met Brandy, how about you?” He turns and smiles at Brandy not really caring about Tiffany’s answer but being polite like always. He locks eyes with her and has an alluring gaze as she melts into them. Shivers run up her spin when he touches her thigh slowly caressing it. Her mind is drifts to the glorious sex we have had she is so drawn to him right now.
Sensing her desires he politely asks. “So, what do you think of the new renovations? Denny has been really busy and I would like to show you some new ideas, are you game?” raising his eyebrows in expectation. Brandy nods knowing words she shouldn’t speak would come out of her mouth. Hell yea I’m game for you! It has only been a night and she missed his touch already. This wild excitement is all in one beautiful package.
He takes her hand looking at Tiffany and Crystal excusing us for a moment. Orders a round for all of us from the nearby waitress then leads her to the kitchen area. They have a few cooks preparing bar food for the patrons, he politely acknowledges them as he says he is showing her the new additions that are going in. As he leads off the kitchen to what she thinks is a back room storage area with clothe hung for dust cover he opens a door into another section of a small room which seems to be more or less a storage closet. Adjusting to the dim lighting he pulls her into him kissing her with such force like she has been gone for ages. Brandy responds passionately forgetting her surroundings pulling his head into her longing lips. “God I have missed you” he breaths into her ear planting kisses down her neck.
She giggles softly saying “dido” as his hands cup her butt pulling her into his hardness that is trying to break out of his pants. Brandy gasps at feeling his excitement for her dragging her nails down his strong arms as he gets her heart and body racing for more. They are now all hands on as they reconnect with each other even with their clothes on. Lucky for her she wore a skirt tonight as his hands lifts it up placing one inside her underwear to cup her flesh. She can’t help but moan knowing her body wants his heat is searing through her in anticipation. Still kissing her he pulls her underwear off but leaves it on one of her legs as she feverishly unzips his pants to feel his erection touch her. He pins her to the wall to messaging her sex with his hand making her so wet for him. This is crazy and so exciting because her body wants him so bad. Putting to fingers in her he groans as she arches her back begging for more. She has unleashed his erection from his pants messaging him as she kisses his neck nibbling his shoulder to stifle her groans. She can’t help her panting begging to feel him inside her.
Lifting her with his strong arms so she is braced on the wall but able to wrap her legs around him he removes his hand as she sinks down into his hardness. Her back arches again and her moans are so loud she doesn’t think the music
in the bar will hide them. Not caring for all she wants right now is this man and he wants her. He thrust into her the fullness is crazy good, he so strong and glorious inside her. He looks into her eyes seeing his passion searing into her as he thrusts several more times. Not being able hold back anymore as she explodes around him he says her name as he does the same explosion he bites her lip and then comes so hard kissing her hard. This moment has left us breathless again as they pant with their foreheads together grinning ear to ear. Softly she kisses him, he smiles giving her a huge kiss. They both are reluctant to let go but sure his legs are feeling like jelly as hers do so she slowly release her grip around his waist so he can place her back on the floor.
Never thinking she would ever do something so crazy like this impressed that she has. Brandy smiles inwardly trying to rearrange her clothing so she doesn’t look like she just had mad passionate sex in a storage room. He cups her face bringing her up for a soft kiss. “Brandy, you are absolutely amazing and that is my judgment, I don’t plan on giving you up for the world.” Quizzically looking at him then she remembers the yacht and blushes.
“OK, now I know it wasn’t me but I think a lot of what it is when it comes to making love is the person you are with. I judge you to being the most amazing man I have ever been with.” she states with pride and seriously hopes he is the last man she will ever be with. She can’t believe anything will ever get better than this!
As if he is reading her mind he proclaims, “I hope I am the last man you will ever want to be with as I feel the same about you.” Sincerely said she can barely see his eyes to read his expression but feels complete, something tells her so does he. Our meeting was from the soul not just attraction sighing with that comfort.
They get themselves back into a presentable state and head out of the room. Thinking of a good idea so that our friends don’t think they just did it in closet so she suggests they go dance to make our sweat look good. He laughs at her saying “You are the smart one!” leading her to the dance floor before they return to the table. My,oh my, can this man move. He has some seriously great moves, she feels like an amateur compared to him but they have fun all the same. Damn she is going to need lessons from him just to keep up!
