reached out for him but again I couldn't touch him. I grabbed the sides of the bed in frustration and pulled. “This isn't fair,” I moaned. In response, he tugged my shirt up and over my head in one swift motion and kissed my breasts, so slowly at first but then faster, with increasing urgency and the sounds of my moans mimicked his pace. Suddenly he took one soft nipple into his mouth deep as it could go and rolled his tongue around and around. Sparks of intense pleasure shot through my whole body and lingered throughout. His hands worked their way down my back, kneading and pressing and caressing until they reached my hips. A soft groan escaped his lips and I shook with pleasure. His mouth shot back to my lips, and I reacted like a woman stranded in the desert. The force of his kiss pushed me back onto the bed. It screeched loudly and for a panicked moment I was afraid a nurse might have heard and come to check on us. I paused to listen for unwelcome footsteps but Nic kept on torturing me with his frozen kisses. My lips trembled with each tender touch of his lips and I begged him to let me touch him. I wanted some part of him, anything just so I could hold onto that moment. Suddenly he felt solid against my body, I wrapped my arms around his head and found that I could hold him. I let out a quiet cry of triumph. The sweet icy taste of his kisses melted every last one of my reservations. My tongue lashed out and found his mouth, I could taste his icy breath and it stirred more passion than I knew I had. He broke away from my kisses and trailed his tongue down my neck and wrapped it around each of my breasts while his hands tenderly explored. I ached to touch more of him but all I could do was hold his head in my hands and caress his face as he stroked my breasts with his tongue. With a smug smile he faced me, we were both breathless. “Is that all you've got?” I taunted. His grin doubled and with one forceful kiss that sent shock waves of icy sparks into my brain he slipped off the rest of my clothes and continued to kiss every tender part of my body from my shoulders to my feet. I arched my back and moaned loudly, his tongue went slowly around every curve of my stomach an drifted further. His tongue grazed the inside of my legs. My muscles trembled and he kept touching, tasting and licking every part of me. He didn't stop until I was shaking with sweat and little sparks of blue ice trailed down my body, circled my breasts and lined my stomach, hips and legs. “How was that?” he asked panting with his head propped between my breasts. I could barely move. “Mmmhhh” I had no words to describe this feeling of utter bliss. I reached down to his head and stroked his cheek. “Some day, I'm going to have to pay you back for that.” We kissed each other sweetly and he helped me find all my clothes that had gotten thrown around the room. Chapter 10 The sun light streamed in through my little window and I woke with a feeling of contentment. The therapist had told me it would be my last day at the hospital. Instinctively I looked around for Nic and found him gazing out the window at the park just below my room. “What do you see?” I asked with a yawn and a stretch “There’s a little girl getting pushed on a merry go round by her dad.” He smiled “She’s got her arms out and playing like she’s an airplane.” “It sounds nice out.” I gingerly stepped out of the bed and tested my feet on the floor. It felt good, not perfect but the therapist had told me my strength would come back as I exercised. With careful precision I took my cane and moved over to the window to stand beside Nic. I hadn’t realized how much taller I was standing. Most of our relationship that far had been me laying in bed. I sat down on the window ledge and smiled. The little girl and her father were still there, this time he was pushing
