Chapter 13
Kat's P.o.v
He twists and twirls my hair between his fingers as he presses his body closer into mine.I feel like a caged bird as his hot Vodka laced breath invades my space more and more.I smile and try my best to play along."Oh...Nick Nack..you scared me.Isn't Michael all by his lonesome without you in his office keeping him company?"He smirks before biting his bottom lip and I try my best to smile back.He let's go of my ringlet and gently caresses my cheek "Oh I don't think he'll mind too much kitty Kat, plus I didn't mean to scare you."He gets closer to my ear and begins to whisper "You should really let me make to you.I'd love to know what makes you purr."He puts his hands on my hips and kisses my cheek and slowly backs away from me.
His brown irises, deep and intense and I struggle to keep playing his game."Nick...What are you doing?Are you forgetting about.."But he cups my chin and have to suppress the tension in my jaw.His voice is low and gentle."Michael ..he doesn't deserve you, or me.He doesn't see you for what you are.But I do.I see you."I don't know what was making me more uncomfortable, the closeness of his body,his stare or his words."I know what I come off as but...like you I'm so much more.If you're worried abouy him...He only sees what he wants to see."
Still caged between his arms I know he's right Michael only sees what he wants."Nick...I...please I need to go."The look in his eye was a mix of lust,bewilderment,anger and sincerity.He leans in "I see you Kat...And I can't wait to watch the show.If you let me."And gently kisses my cheek,he releases me from my cage.He watches as I struggle to get into the car and drive off.
His words play over and over in my head, and I feel the stinging pain of tears stream down my face.How much Michael didn't see.How he didn't care,and what's worse how much I didn't see..I pull up and I can't be brave or keep the tears from running down my face.I think about everything, how much of our lives were a lie?I couldn't stop everything hurt.Was the first time we met a lie? When he first kissed me, or said I loved you, or had s*x?Oh god...I was so consumed with saddness I didn't see David standing there.He didn't say anything he just opened the car door,took my hand and helped me out of the car.As we stood there in the driveway I dropped my head ashamed and embarrassed.He takes my face in both hands and wipes my tears, he presses his forehead against mine.We stand there in silence for a moment and I feel all the saddness drain from me.As if somehow he was able to absorb every ounce of it in me until there was none left.My legs begin to feel heavy as if I'm being sunk down into sand.I press my body into his, and his warm embrace feels safe.He takes the full weight of my body and lifts me into his arms.
Holding me close in his arms his heartbeat is like a lullaby as he carries inside.He closes the door behind him and carries me upstairs towards his room.With closed eyes a smile forms on my face as I grip tightly with my arms around his neck.When we get to his room I hold on tight for just a little longer,he kisses my forehead before placing on the bed.He crouches down in front me with a small kind smile and whispers "Is it ok if I undress you?I can draw you a bath or we can just lie here if you like."Thoughts of before with Michael flash in my head but David's touch puts me at ease.My throat is dry and it hurts to foarm words "Can we take a bath, and then lie down just for a little? "He smiles as he tucks my hair behind my ear.He nods and helps me to my feet.He leads me towards the bathroom with an oversized tub.He turns the water on and pours something into the water.He stands behind me,slowly and gently unzips my dress for me.He kisses my shoulder, and ask permission to undo my bra and I nod.He does the same for the lower half of my body and slides my panties down for me.
He helps me into the tub and the warm inviting water feels amazing on my skin.As I sit the scent of honey and lavender hit me.I sit in the tub expecting him to join but see him crouched down, he rest his head on the edge of the tub and ask if I would like some privacy."Please.... join me ..."He smiles and asks me if I'm sure and I bite down on my lip and smile before nodding.I watch as he slowly strips revealing his lean, sunkissed body.He steps in and lets out a relaxed moan.His thick thighs straddle on each side of me,and he wraps his strong arms around me.I relax into his embrace and he kisses my temple. "Let's get you cleaned up Katrina, then you need your rest.Then hopefully if you'll let... let me feed you.."His words make me giggle and I feel him vibrate against me as he laughs as well."You sound so beautiful when you laugh Katrina"His embrace gets tighter and he kisses my shoulder.I reach for him and kiss him and he taste sweet like summer.Wrapped in his warmth in his arms safe I feel like myself. He takes a white washcloth and pours something on it and begins to wash my back in a circular motion.
It smells like rose petals.It feels so calming as I rest my head on my knees.He rinses me off and kisses my back as the warm water washes over me."Shall we dry you off Katrina?"I nod and we step out of the tub.He wraps in an oversized towel and leads me back to bed.As we lie there our naked bodies fitting perfectly every so often he kisses the nape of my neck."Sleep now Katrina ..."I close my eyes and his breathing relaxes me after a while I can feel myself going in and out of sleeep every often.I can feel his heartbeat, his lips, his arm...I fight staying awake but I'm about to lose.."I love you Katrina,Sleep beautiful Katrina..."I lose my fight...
