Mine! - H.N. S (easy books to read in english .txt) 📗

pulling me onto his lap. The car made it snug, but that didn’t seem to worry Nick. His arms were around me. One brushing the hair from my face, the other on the small of my back pulling me tightly to his chest. He smelt so heavenly. Oak and lavender, my new favourite scent.

 

“But why?” I demanded weakly.

 

“Isn’t it obvious,” one of his hands moved into my hair, tilting my head back perfectly for his kiss. He brushed his lips across mine. I moan and part my lips. My worry now forgotten. No longer slow and soft, he deepened the kiss to something more primal and demanding. Our bodies melted together as our tongues danced hot and furiously. Suddenly I want his hands on me, his tongue all over me.

 

He slows me down with his tongue. His fingers tangled in my hair guide me to the slow rhythm of his mouth. Our lips part and I try to catch my breath. My lips are swollen from our kissing. My body is in a frenzy, I want more, I want Nick.

 

He sifts his fingers down my hair and guides my head to the crook of his neck, cuddling me close. His chest rising and falling fast under me. He’s so hot and warm that I press tighter against him, his powerfully built arms help draw me closer before he continued, “It’s because I love you. I love you so fucking much Eva!”

 

***

 

A chill runs down my spine as we enter his castle. If Nick wasn’t holding my hand so tightly I think I would have turned and ran for the hills.

 

Ignoring my reluctance, Nick leads me into a huge open space bestowing such grand elegance. There is a pair of stairs, bordering the hall at each side then meeting at the top. The walls are filled with fine art and décor making the castle seem dated, holding family stories and tales throughout history. It is such a shame and waste that I never got to admire any of it the last time I was here. It’s beautiful.

 

 The décor doesn’t even make Nick look twice as he leads me through the archway created by the stairs and to the right.

 

Before we make it into the kitchen, Nick is attacked by multiple guys. I’m in a state of shock before I realise they’re play fighting.

 

After several greetings, fist bumps and handshakes Jake introduces me to the many people crowding the room. I don’t remember many, only the few I’ve seen Nick hang out around school with.

 

“This is Jay…” Nick directs my attention to an Asian guy standing next to me. He’s tall, dark hair styled to a small mohican, hard chisels features that complement the defined muscles. He was attractive, not in Nick’s league, but he had a warm smile that looked friendly.

 

Nick then grabbed the younger version of himself into a head lock. The boy looked exactly like Nick and made me think if that’s what Nick looked like at the age of 15, an adorable cute boy. “And finally, this brat is my younger brother, Jack” Anyone could have known that Jack and Nick were related just by a glance at them.

 

Nick smiled his boyish grin with his dimples as his brother fights out from his hold. The playfulness sparkle in his eyes melts my heart and I can’t look anywhere but into his deep blue eyes.

 

Jack straightens out his clothes before turning his attention on me as Nick rumpled his hair. I couldn’t help but smile at him, the abuse he gets from his brother and his friends is obviously only fun to them but to Jack it’s so much more, he just wants to fit in and be friends. I know that because that’s how I felt once upon a time at the start of the year, I would laugh at jokes that weren’t funny and stand by while others were bullied just so I could say I have friends… so I wasn’t the one being bullied.. but we all know that didn’t last long. I was disgusted in myself to watch others in pain until one day I jumped out in front of my so called friends to help Peter.

 

“Hi Eva, I’m Jack” He returned my smile with his own charming dimple filled smile. Instantly, I felt relaxed and friendly with him.

 

“Hi jack, its nice to meet you” His grin widened and I saw his cheeks turn pink as he blushed. I couldn’t help but feel my own cheeks fill with heat. I was astonished at why Jack would ever need the approval of Nick and his friends, Jack was handsome and kind and I’m sure very popular.

 

Nick was quickly at my side, his arm tight around my shoulder keeping me close to his side. So territorial and possessive, it made me feel… wanted, loved being here with Nick and his brother. I’m so used to being alone at home that being here is refreshing and warming.

 

“Back away kid, you wouldn’t be flirting with my woman would you?” All the humour gone from Nick’s voice, it was cold and angry. I didn’t want to get in between brothers, and I especially didn’t want to be the one on the other side of angry Nick.

 

“N..No Nick, Not… not at all. I was just saying hi to Eva, that’s all” Jack stumbled, as he bowed his head in submission to his brother. I looked around the room, all eyes on the brothers but none making a move to lighten the sudden escalated heated atmosphere. As I looked around, although no one was talking, I felt as though I was missing out on a whole conversation between the brothers as they just stood there.

 

“Right, so don’t look at her again. Now go” Nick growled. I jumped at his outburst of anger and I could resist the urge to help Jack because Nick was taking this too far.

 

“I was only…” Jack tried to explain himself but was cut off by another growl from Nick. Jack began to back away, lowering his head further and even whimpered, earning him snickers from some of the guys.

 

Now this had turned into bullying, and Nick was doing nothing to defend him! I pulled from Nick’s protective grip I went to Jack’s side. I gently put one hand on his back and the other under his chin, raising his gaze to mine, making the once snickers to gasps.

 

“Are you okay?” I asked Jack. But he only replied with a quaint nod, not even making eye contact. What had Nick said or done for Jack to feel like it was a crime to even look at me! “Nick that was too far! He was just introducing himself!”

 

“It was the way he was looking at you, you’re mine and only I can look at you that way!” anger was rolling off of him, but his voiced calmed as he talked to me.

 

“I’m not a possession, I’m a person! I can talk and look at anyone I want to and anyone can do the same to me! And it certainly doesn’t mean you can bully your brother, he did nothing wrong!” I shook my head, I guess Nick could never actually change from his old self. It may not be me whom he is bullying but it still doesn’t make it right.

 

“I know, and you’re right and I’m sorry Eva… I just.. when I saw him and heard what he was thi….” he stopped abruptly mid-sentence, seeming to regret what he was saying before he continued, “I just don’t want others to look at you like you’re anything but mine.”

 

I blinked. He was admitting all of this in front of everyone.

 

I didn’t know how to react… “Yes, well, if Jack can forgive you then so can I”

 

Nick came to my side, sliding his arm around my waist and gripping me to his hard chest. Even when I’m angry with him, I can’t resist the shock I get from his touch or the warmth from our bodies as they mould together.

 

He looked down at me, his eyes soft and apologetic. I offered him a weak smile before he stuck his hand out to his brother. “Jack I’m… Jack…” He sighed “I’m sorry ok” It looked like it took everything in himself to admit he was sorry, and I couldn’t help but giggle. His brother also brightened up with his boyish dimple filled smile reappearing.

“That wasn’t so hard was it?” I couldn’t hide the giggle as I spoke.

 

Nick circled both arms around me and pulled me to his chest. His head lowering to my ear as he whispered “yes, it actually was. Jack’s going to hold that against me for the rest of my life! I’ve never apologised before, but for you Eva… fuck, I would do anything!” His hot breath in my ear as he sighed, pulling back so our eyes connected, “I’m sorry for how I acted, I thought it was just some fun. But when I saw the way he looked at you Eva it made me so angry because I own you Eva! You’re m..”

 

“Let me guess, ‘mine’” I finished for him.

 

“Damn right!” his lips lowered to mine, but they never touched. Only his breath on my lips, he was close- so close! My heart was pounding in my chest, my skin tingling for his touch. “Ask me Eva, ask for my kiss” I felt his words more than I heard them as his lips were only a whisper away from mine. “Just say yes Eva…”

 

My legs were jelly, my cheeks hot from embarrassment of his request. All other bodies in the room forgotten as the only person I see, I feel is Nick. What was this man doing to me, I had only known him a few days, yet he owned my body, he owned me. How was that possible? I didn’t even know him, but somehow in that moment it didn’t matter.

 

“Yes” it came out more a moan than an answer.

 

A strong warm hand cupped the back of my head, fingers threading through my hair drawing me towards him until the magic moment when our lips met. I can’t believe he made me beg almost for this kiss. But it wasn’t just a kiss, it was the control and the power he had over me and the moment our lips met I knew I had lost all my self-control to him.

 

He was the master of kissing. Slow, hot, demanding, intense. His lips moving with mine as his hands hold me tight against his body, allowing no escape until he said so. He used this kiss to show what control over me he had, to show me how desperate this kiss was to him just like his next breath.

 

I forgot how to breathe. He took away my breath.

 

When he pulled away, I let out a shaky breath as I was left wanting. I never wanted it to stop, he was addictive.

It wasn’t until Nick’s gaze flicked behind me until I remembered we weren’t alone. My head fell to Nick’s chest and I could feel the vibrations from his laugh, he obviously found my embarrassment amusing but I only groaned.

 

“Nick we need to talk” It was Jay who had brought our public make out session to a standstill.

 

“Ok” Nick pulled me away. His hand on my shoulders as he lowered himself so he became more on my eye level. “I’ll be gone for only a moment” he looked around before his eyes rested on his brother. His lips went into a hard line, the anger still obviously there “just stay with Jack until I get back”

 

I nodded, I knew that was hard for him to do so I didn’t want to make it harder for him and nag him to stay. I was an adult, and I needed to stop acting like a child. He kissed me on the forehead. Not wanting to part, his lips lingered. Loving the feeling of our connection, I never wanted his body
