We had a few quickies when we could, times that were rushed and careless. It was just to get our lust out of our systems the best we could with the time that we had. I wanted to sleep in his bed wrapped in his arms until the last moment before the alarm went off, but we didn’t want to risk being caught. We weren’t ready to talk about it, even as much as we missed each other and I knew that my frustration was getting the best of me.
I was helping Mom in the kitchen the morning of Thanksgiving, trying to focus on the traditions that I loved over the fact that I was falling in love with the man in the office several feet away. Carmen was there as well, and I forced my eyes onto her as she helped eagerly with anything she could. She was so happy, and it filled me with a warmth that scared me.
Mom was patient as she told Carmen what to do and I laughed when Rebecca joined us to watch and learn. It was such a good time with my favorite people in the world, and I observed everything before I felt eyes on me. I glanced up to see Nick watching all of us with a warm gaze, though his eyes were locked on me. He smiled, and I almost melted at the intensity in his eyes, longing to run over and hold his body close to mine. Rebecca looked up and laughed as she taunted her brother to join us, and I looked down at the counter as I tried to regain my composure.
He and I did sneak away for a cold walk on the beach, thick with clouds and fog. I didn’t care as we rounded a curve and he shoved me against a rock as his lips claimed mine hungrily. I wrapped my legs around him, desperate to feel him inside of me as our mouths met clumsily. We didn’t make love down there against the cold rock, but he fucked me with his fingers as we watched for any passersby. After that, I jerked him off hard and fast, near tears because we couldn’t be together the way that I wanted.
He held my face in his hands when we were done, staring into my eyes as he kissed me gently. It had only been a few months that we were involved, but it felt like years to me as I let the tears slide down my cheeks. He told me that we’d find a way to be together tonight. We’d set the alarm or anything to just have a few hours in his bed, fucking the way that we both needed to.
I was calm by the time we walked back towards the house, my tears dried. When we came around the corner, we saw a little figure standing on the stairs looking around, and I felt Nick brush his hand against mine. Carmen saw us and took off down the beach, screaming our names as I felt emotion wash over me again. “I love you, Celia.” Nick’s words were soft over the wind that blew around us, and I turned to look at him with wide eyes. He glanced at me with a smile, and I felt the weight of the world fall from my shoulders as I met his eyes. “We’re going to figure this out.”
“I love you,” I replied before Carmen rushed into us, wrapping her arms around both of us as we hugged her back. I looked up to see two people watching us from the stairs and smiled, knowing that we looked like the little family. We would be a little family.
I drank a lot of wine throughout the afternoon and meal, along with Rebecca. Nick watched us as he sipped beer but he didn’t mind later that night when I went into his room, tipsy and horny. He locked the door and crawled over my naked body on his bed to take me hard from behind as he locked his hands around my thighs. “You feel so goddamn good. I can’t be away from you, Celia. I love you,” Nick whispered as I rocked with him, needing his cock to fill me.
“I love you. I am not even divorced yet, but I love you. Is that crazy?” I let out a low moan as his finger found my needy clit, stroking me while he fucked me hard and deep. I knew that I couldn’t prolong the release that I needed so badly and I whimpered as the pressure released inside of me, coating him as he jerked and came with me.
“This is going to work, Celia. I’ve never felt this way in my life,” Nick told me, still hard as he started to move inside of me again.
We didn’t have the monitor on since Carmen was sleeping with Rebecca that night in the guest room, and I regretted that when Nick and I left his room to get some water. We were dressed, but anyone that saw us would know what we were just doing, and his sister was in the kitchen sipping some juice as we stepped inside, holding hands and giggling. “I fucking knew it. You guys looked different this time, and you…you’re so happy.” She threw herself into Nick’s arms as he kept holding my hand, his eyes wide with surprise. “How long has this been going on?”
“A few months, Becca. Carmen doesn’t know. We were keeping it concealed until we knew what it was to protect her,” Nick murmured as he looked at me with a small smile.
