common. I breathed a sigh of relief when Ben finally came out and told Drew they had to get going. He thanked Amma for having them for lunch and they finally left.
When they’d gone, I helped Amma get the kitchen back in order before returning to my lessons. Now that I had a plan to meet Brandon, I was able to concentrate easily and my spell to call a familiar finally worked. Now all I had to do was wait for it to show up. I hoped that it would be something other than a raven, as I was already compared to Amma in so many ways.
We had a light dinner that night and afterwards, I packed a bag and asked Amma for some extra candles. When she questioned me, I told her I was going to the island for some quiet meditation. That was her favorite thing for me to do; meditate. I always told her the truth; tonight was the first time I’d ever lied.
I hated lying to her, but I didn’t know how I could go another day without seeing Brandon. The need to feel his touch was a physical ache inside me. I had to look into his eyes again and reassure myself that he really was all mine. And give him the necklace. I pulled the set from their protective pouch and held them in my hand. A thick gold rope chain with the moonstone ‘Yin’ half of the circle that belonged to my Dad for Brandon and my mother’s onyx ‘Yang’ suspended from a delicate silver serpent chain for me. They were perfectly nestled together, and even when I pulled them apart they found each other again like magnets.
I left for the island a few hours before dusk, and upon landing, set about making the cabin ready for a romantic night. New sheets, a fire laid in the hearth and candles to fill the air with rose scent. After straightening everything for the third time, I took a walk to the shore and scanned the water. Nothing. I couldn’t pace any longer, if I could just calm my mind until Brandon came, maybe time wouldn’t seem to be passing so slowly.
I was deep in a meditative state when I heard my someone softly say my name. I jumped and looked up to find the setting sun lighting up Brandon’s beautiful face. He helped me up and I fell into his arms needing to taste his lips on mine. I lost myself in the strength of his arms and the purely masculine scent of him. I took his hand and pulled him into the cabin.
“Nicole, wait.” He pulled back on my arm stopping me and made me turn to face him again. “We have to talk”. I pulled my shirt off revealing my bare chest. “Please, it’s important.” I slipped my yoga pants off and stood in front of him completely naked. He blew out a long breath and said, “Yeah, we can talk later.”
“Good.” I said as I pulled him by the hand to the bed but left him standing in front of it. He pulled his shirt off while I undid his jeans and slipped his shoes and socks off. I knelt before him and slid his jeans and boxers down at the same time, and he quickly stepped out of them.
I stood again and motioned for him to move up to the middle of the bed. I climbed onto it and toward him like a cat before straddling him just below his already hard cock. I took it in my hand and marveled at the stiffness of the shaft and the incredibly soft skin that surrounded it. There was a single pearl of moisture balanced on the tip and I swiped my thumb over it making him suck in his breath. I slid my thumb in my mouth and savored the unmatchable taste of it.
I was wet already, just from thinking about him, but now, having him here so ready for me, made me bold. I surprised us both by standing up on my knees and guiding two of his fingers into me. “This is what I’ve been like all day knowing I would see you tonight.” I said in a voice so husky, even I didn’t recognize it. He stroked his fingers in and out of me, and I matched each stroke with one of my own by wrapping my hand tightly around his shaft. His eyes couldn’t decide what to watch, his fingers disappearing inside me or my hand
