Chapter 51: Chapter 51

Angel waited for her to meet his gaze and he peered into her eyes as if he was trying to gauge her sincerity. Nadia hated that he still had his reservation about her. It was quite evident in his eyes.

She felt even worse when he didn't say anything and just held his gaze forward. But she did notice his fingers tightening around hers as he urged her forward. She swallowed gently not quite sure how to take that.

Angel took her to a big oak tree not too far away from the pit. Holding the bag in one hand, he turned his back to her and asked her to wrap her arms around his neck. Nadia hesitated for about a millisecond before doing as he asked.

Angel carried her up the tree at a fast pace that was enough to make her heart thud with fear. Stopping at about fourteen feet up, where the trunk stopped and spread out its branches, he placed the food on the widespread space atop it and hoisted himself up along with her. Nadia got off his back and gingerly sat, facing him and backing an enormous branch. Angel sat opposite her and placed the food in the centre. From his position, he could see the pit and the crown of the tree shielded them well enough.

He saw how awkward Nadia sat because of her boots, and he reached for her left leg first, trailing his hands up her thighs and under her dress. Nadia hitched a breath, causing Angel to meet her gaze.

"You will be more comfortable without this," he said. She nodded. Angel pulled down the zipper of her boot and pulled it off of her, wrapping one large hand around her thigh. Nadia held her breath, biting down on her lower lip at the jolt of desire that shot through her. Her skin tingles and her breath grew laboured and all he did was touch her. Her eyes trailed up his strong arm and up to his biceps. She thought he had the most Intimidating, powerfully formed body that would make any man pause before confronting him, but the last thing on her mind was fear. She swallowed. She wanted to have him spread naked so she could worship him with her lips. Kissing him all over before finally… her eyes lowered to the obvious bulge between his folded legs and she didn't know when she flicked out her tongue and licked her lips.

"Nadia?" Angel rasped.

"Huh?" she replied somewhat dazed.

"Cut it out or I swear I will take you here and now…" Angel growled. Nadia searched his smouldering gaze with widen eyes.

Angel leaned into her with his hands wrapped around her thighs under her dress and said, "I can smell your arousal."

'Shit!' Nadia cursed in her head, remembering he had told her before. Her face burned with embarrassment.

"Tell me what you were thinking…" he urged in a low, husky tone.

"I … um would rather not…" she stuttered.

"Really? Would you prefer I make you scream it to me then?" he rasped. Nadia felt his very warm hands move even higher, and she silently noted that her legs were spread eagle-styled. That made her grow even wetter for him. She parted her lips slightly, taking soft laboured breaths.

Angel groaned, leaned even closer and gently took her lips. Nadia shook delicately, feeling his fingers shift the fabric covering her girl part and slowly traced the hem of her vulva before he slipped one finger into her and then another. Nadia swallowed her moan.

"You feel tight and wet … Damn, I want to eat you up…" Angel rasped.

Nadia shook delicately, releasing a shaky breath. Angel suckled on her lips while he finger fucked her. Nadia breathed his name leaning back to rest her back against the tree branch, forgetting where they were.

Angel reached out to cup the back of her neck and slowly made her lay down at the centre of the trunk, burying his face against her chest.

Her dress had ridden up now, exposing her lower body. The weather was chilly but Angel's skin was like a furnace, burning her body and soul. She heard the sound of fabric tearing and it didn't bother her. She was as desperate to feel him as he was her.

When he closed his mouth around her one nipple and cradled her ass, she dissolved into a puddle and went lax in his arms. Her hands involuntarily went to cradle his head when he started to trail his lips down her body. She noted unlike before she could feel the soft feel of matted hair on his scalp and the thought that his hair was growing back made her feel great pleasure. She wondered what he would look like with full hair and jerked with intense ecstasy when his mouth closed around her clit. She moaned as he suckled her, darting his tongue into her, making her feel heady with pleasure. Nadia felt her body shake from release after release and she ached to have him fuck her. Angel leaned over her, holding her up to position her to receive him and then he said, "What were you thinking?" His voice was thick and sexy. Nadia wanted to kiss him and she tried to but he stopped her, holding her by the nape.

“Tell me first,” he said, giving her a slow, knowing smile.

"I want you naked and spread out so I can taste you all over and put you in my mouth, sucking you slow and then fast until you come in my mouth,” Nadia said. Her voice was sultry and low.

Angel groaned and pushed swiftly into her wet sweetness in one stroke. Nadia's back arched in response as she gasped in pure pleasure, making Angel dig deeper into her. Before she could cry out his name, Angel took her lips. Nadia spasmed uncontrollably. Angel wrapped his arms around her, enveloping her in his loving embrace.

“You will have the time to do that to me, I promise,” Angel whispered against her skin.

Much later on, Nadia snuggled into his arms covered only in her coat as Angel ate.

"I want to stay with you," Nadia whispered against his skin.

"Okay," Angel said. Nadia felt her heart swell with joy at that simple answer. The way he said it and then ran his finger through the hair at her nape to press her face firmly to his naked chest made her feel all warm inside like she was loved.

She raised one hand to cup his jaw, making him lower his face to receive her kiss.

Listening to him eat and just pressing her face to his warm skin, she wished she could ask him to tell her more about himself. What did he like? Where he came from? And where he hoped to go when he left? But she knew the conversation would surely spiral down to his captivity and she didn’t want anything to spoil the peace they shared.

The thought that he would soon leave weighed on her and she tightened her hold on him. Angel lowered his head to press a kiss to the crown of her head.

“You are scared. I can feel and hear the fast rhythmic beating of your heart and smell it on your skin. I know it is not because of me… so, what is it? What is making you like this?” Angel said and Nadia could feel how his body tensed up and the slight edge in his voice. She felt exasperated, wondering when he would finally learn to trust her.

“It is not from betraying you…” Nadia said. Angel sighed.

“I didn’t say that, Nadie,” he said, inhaling her scent.

“You don’t have to. I am getting in tune with your moods too, Angel. I know you don’t trust me…” she said and waited for him to negate her statement but he didn’t. Her heart tightened. She tried to move out of his arms and he let her.

“Maybe I should … um… go…” she said, trying not to meet his gaze.

“If that is what you want…” Angel said, noncomitently. Nadia’s eyes blurred with tears.
