Chapter 15: Chapter 15

Nick felt like he was being pulled by an invisible hand. He lost his mind and crossed that one step distance between them. His left arm wound around Kate's waist, and his right cupped her face. Everything happened too fast that Kate was not sure if anything of these was real. She closed her eyes as soon she felt Nick's breath so near her. Nick thought Kate was welcoming his actions as to why she closed her eyes.

It made him bolder.

He softly brushed his lips against her. Kate felt his lips warm next to hers.

With her eyes still closed, she mimicked his lips' moves unconsciously.

The two felt like they were floating in the clouds of their world that they let their mind drift off and swim in the vast sea of lust. The two souls felt like big waves were tossing them far from the shore of sanity. Numbing their rationality like they were inside a dream and free to do whatever they wished.

Blame it to the video clip Kate was watching and that Nick saw her watching it, but they both cannot deny they have their hidden emotions for each other, and now Kate and Nick are enslaved by these emotions subconsciously.

Kate was aroused with what she had been watching.

No matter how she was raised, her nature could not avoid feeling tingly after what she saw in that clip. She is normal, after all—the same with Nick. He knew he shouldn't do what he was doing right now, but it felt like they were breathing the very air of lust and arousal that they were intoxicated and unable to let sanity penetrate their swamped minds. Their unspoken longing for each other surfaced and took the lead to satiate their hunger and thirst.

Nick kissed Kate with a burning desire, but Kate was no less passionate. Their kisses started soft and gentle, but they became intense, aggressive, demanding, and overpowering. The need to catch for a breath broke their lips apart, but they searched for somewhere else to devour. Nick's kisses traveled down Kate's left neck, and the latter mindlessly bent her head sideways to give his lips access to wherever they were trailing on her skin. Soft moans left Kate's lips as she breathed with her mouth slightly ajar.

Kate did not want to be legally adopted for the reason that she did not want to rob her dad of his rights of being her father, knowing he died before Kate was even born. That was what she was told to believe ever since she could ask and remember. But her stand stood firmer when she saw Nick for the first time at their very first dinner before Kelly and Elijah announced their wedding decisions. Kate did not want Nick to be her brother. She knew it would bind her and forbid to love him more than a sibling if she accepted Elijah's requests. She declined, again and again, feeling sorry to Elijah but relieved for herself. She had wished to know how it would feel to be in Nick's arms. Now she is even kissing her, and she is responding as wild as he does. She had prayed again and again for her weaknesses, and she thought Nick's coldness towards her was heaven's answer. She was even thankful when he moved to live separately. Kate thought she had overcome her crazy feelings towards Nick.

Until now...

With their bodies only a thread in between.

With their lips attached and their tongues like warriors, sword-fighting.

With their hearts seeming to beat similarly wild, lust clouded their minds...

They were like bunnies in the wild. Carefree...

Feeling freed from the shackles of their deeply buried emotions, the two were like eagles who learned how to spread their wings and fly for the first time. Reckless, scared yet excited, and fascinated.

They've set their hearts free of any fears.

They explored every possible sweetness the moment could offer.

Nick took his fill of hunger and thirst for Kate. Even his hands started to move and roam around her body like their have minds of their own.

Kate let all her wishes and daydreams with Nick come to life. Nick's burning touch melted all, even the tiniest hint of resistance in her. She was not equipped with knowledge about what she should do, but she took Nick's every move as her guide.

Their suppressed feelings for each other have become like a ticking time bomb about to blow any time soon. Kate's bed was right next to her desk. It only has three big strides of steps distance. Without knowing, they waltz their way to it with Kate still in Nick's embrace.

Kisses became deeper. Searching. Longing. Yearning.

Kate trailed her kisses down Nick's neck just like he did to her. Her hands touched the same areas he would knead and caress. She was wearing a pink one-piece, knee-length, long-sleeved cotton sleep dress with three buttons on the chest. Nick was wearing a pair of blue cotton pajamas. The fabric was soft that his erection was stretching it on his front bottom. When Kate bumped the back of her knees on her bed, Nick let go of Kate's waist and hovered above her. But the bed and their position with Kate below him ignited a combustible switch of arousal. Nick's weakening senses tried to reason out, but when he saw how Kate was as aroused as he was, Nick let all logic fly out the window and dive into the inviting sensation of his carnal desires.

And Kate did not resist. She welcomed Nick's every passionate kiss and touch. Her nightdress rolled up to her higher thighs when she fell on the bed with Nick atop her.

Nick gazed at Kate as he hovered above her. She looked so enchantingly inviting with her flushed and faintly smiling mien. She had her eyes closed as if she was dreaming. Her hands tightly held Nick's clothes on his sides.

Nick softly kissed her by the forehead as he also closed his eyes. His lips seemed to trace every contour of her face, feeling the softness of her delicate skin, savoring the calming aroma of her scent.

Kate's soft moans were so loud in Nick's ear. Her deep breathing and tightening grip on his clothes were driving Nick even crazier. He lifted half his body with the use of his elbows not to crush her down, but their lower bodies were grinding at each other. With their clothes all still on, just like how they were, Nick rubbed his erection where he knew Kate's Lovebox was.

Her moans, still soft, became more erotic. Her breathing became gasping, biting her lips in ecstasy.

Every grind Nick makes, Kate would push her pelvis against his. She wound her legs around Nick's hips, making their bodies tangled. Her hands were restlessly moving on his back to his hair before Kate pulled Nick to her tight embrace.

"Oh god, ahhh, ahhh, ahmmmm... Nick..." Kate moaned as she felt an indescribable feeling of joy wrap around her being. She knew from her lessons she had an orgasm.

Nick was floating in a blissful limbo as he knew Kate had reached her peak, his thrusts sped up, and he succumbed to his own orgasm.

"Kate... Kate... ahhhh... I... ahhhh..." Nick almost confessed his feelings as he released his seeds in his sleep-wear garments. But he bit his tongue. He was worried he would be accused of saying it just in the heat of the moment.

The two felt limp after. Nick turned them on their sides so Kate wouldn't be crushed beneath him, and he looked at her in the eyes. He was scared she would suddenly change. He saw beads of tear on her eyes, and he kissed them away.

"Kate..." Nick softly called her name out.

Kate could not open her eyes in fear of Nick judging her poorly for what just happened. Her tears rolled one after another. Nick thought she was crying because she regretted what had just happened.

"I'm sorry," Nick embraced her with her face in his chest. "I am sorry, but I am happy. I did it because I love you, Kate. I didn't mean to take advantage of you," Nick eagerly explained. "I have been trying to avoid you because I worry these kinds of things may happen. Now it did. I am sure you are shocked, but please don't hate me, please, Kate...?"

Kate's silent cry became a shaky sobbing in Nick's embrace.

Reality hit Nick. He realized what he had done. He realized he had become so impulsive, and he suddenly worried Kate could sue him. She is a minor, after all. He did not penetrate her, he didn't even unclad his manhood, but he is guilty. He reached his orgasm. He considered himself having had sex with her. And with Kate's upbringing, what they did was equivalent to the deed itself.

"Kate...?" His worried voice intensified. He was more concerned about what trauma he might have caused her. "Kate, baby, please, talk to me..."
