Arrested By Her Sheik - Part 6

“You’re right,” I said leaning into him taking the easy way out and not willing to talk about my secret fears.  Shit maybe they hadn’t told him yet.  But maybe I was being a total woos.  Maybe I wasn’t giving him enough credit.  I should just blurt it all out now and let the chips fall where they might.  I swallowed the lump in my throat and out came, “I thought you all could use a little coffee.” Shit I was being a total chicken, so unlike me.

“Smells great,” Nick said kissing my nape.

I let out a little gasp as a fission of him traveled down me.  No fair.  I couldn’t concentrate when he did that.  Stiffening I tried to push him away.  Not easy when he clung to me like the rock of Gibraltar.    “Why don’t you join the others and I’ll bring it to you.”  I knew I sounded a little brusque but that couldn’t be helped.

“What gives,” Nick asked concerned as he pulled back far enough to spin me around to face him.

I tried to dig in my heels knowing my emotions would be clear to see but it was no use as he relentlessly turned me around.  The glint in his eye said he was more than concerned he was pissed.  Probably wanted to spank my ass, I thought blushing and naturally my curves tingled in anticipation.  It wasn’t fair that he could turn me inside out this way.  “Nothing,” I murmured knowing it was a poor excuse.

“Like hell,” Nick said his eyes narrowing.  Whatever it is we will work it out later, I promise.  But there is no way I’m letting you shut me out now.”

Just looking into his eyes burning from his nearness I silently echoed his sentiment.  A pulse throbbed in his jaw and his strong mouth creased in an uncompromising line and I wanted nothing more than to kiss him.
