Chapter thirty seven

Standing a few steps back, Crystal keenly watched as Nick aimed his gun at a row of bottles he had arranged ahead. Then he fired, one after the other until the entire raw was nothing more than sprinkles of glass on the ground.
He wanted to teach her how to aim and he thought that was the perfect way to do it.
She disagreed.
She had never before in her entire life used a gun, and she hoped that she would never have to.
" Did you see that? All you have to do is concentrate and keep an eye on the target. "
He walked back to her. Loading the gun in the process before handing it over. She stared at it before reaching out and actually grabbing it with trembling hands.
" Is this really necessary? "
" It is. "
" Why? "
" Because I say so. "
She shook her head and rolled her eyes. Then they took a few steps nearer to her targets. Nick replaced the bottles with new ones, then he went back to stand behind Crystal.
That familiar closeness sent tingles through her. And she leaned back against his firm chest, her task forgotten.
He placed a hand to her waist. Each time she was near him everything else vanished. But he fought to stay focused on the main reason why they were there.
" Concentrate. " he said as he locked his fingers with hers over the gun and aimed it at one of the bottles. She looked back and up at him, and Nick took the opportunity to steal a kiss. And another.... and another before he made her face ahead. She did so reluctantly.
" Just focus. And once you do everything else will come easily. "
" But I don't get why I have to learn how to fire a gun , I have you for that, "
" And you'll always have me. But just to be safe, it's better if you learn. "
Though she didn't mention it, she liked the sound of what he'd just said. That she would always have him. And she wondered whether he was really being truthful. She hoped that he was. That he planned to be around her for a very long time to come.
Forever if possible.
And not only because she sucked at aiming. Because apart from the two times where he had locked his fingers with hers, she hadn't been able to hit even a single bottle. Nick watched as she slowly began getting agitated. Then six trials later she grew completely furious and just started firing the gun angrily while groaning and grunting .
" Okay stop!.... just.... just stop, "
He walked to her and took the gun away from her hands. It seemed like the safest thing to do. Then he shook his head and out of nowhere, he started laughing.
Crystal had never heard him laugh.
No one else had either.
And it was a glorious laugh, a hearty sound that made all her senses fire to life. She watched with undying fascination as he threw his head back. His eyes closed and those crinkles that made him look even more appealing appeared on the corners.
It was a sound she wanted to hear every day. It filled her with such an unexplainable amount of joy that she found herself laughing as well. And a while later, when both their laughter had died down, they simply stood there, staring at each other for the longest while.
She loved him. That was proven each time she looked at him, and she wanted to just shout it out at the very top of her lungs.
And when he looked at her, she in turn knew that he loved her too.
" I'm not good at this... " she said, waving around at the bottles.
" No, you're surprisingly horrible at it. "
" You don't have to rub it in! "
" I'm not, but I know something that you're extremely great at. "
He tucked the gun away and reached out for her hand, pulling her to him. Then he wrapped his arms around her and captured her lips with his. He lived for her kisses. For her smile and for her laughter. For the gentle way she touched him and the firm way she held on to him .
He lived for her.
And what had started as a simple kiss started escalating to a very uncontrollable need. He lifted her off the ground and she wrapped her legs around him. The field was at the back of the house, so he walked to the wall and pressed her against it.
There was no one else around but even if there were, he wouldn't have cared.
He traced kisses down her jaw and all the way to her neck. Slipping his hand underneath her top to cup her breasts. She groaned into his mouth when he kissed her again. Then he unzipped her jeans, breaking away from the kiss as he dipped his searching hand inside. She leaned her head back against the wall. Closing her eyes as he explored and touched that very intimate part of her. And as he used his fingers to spread her lips.
He rubbed the pad of his thumb on her clit, and she arched her back against the wall as a moan escaped her.
" Look at me! " he commanded as he found her opening and teased it before finally dipping two fingers inside. She obliged to his command. Looking at him even though she could barely see a thing past the cloud of lust.
But Nick could very clearly see her.
He thrust his three fingers inside her, watching as her climax built. Then he saw how her eyes involuntarily closed when the orgasm hit.
And she cried out his name as she rode it to the very end.
Crystal grew limp in his hold. And he held her as she tried to recover her breathing. Then she felt something poking at her center and realised that she had never actually had the chance to pleasure him the same way he always pleasured her. She slid down, planting her feet to the ground.
Then she rounded on him and forced him to back up against the wall. He was a little confused at first, but then she hauled him down for a kiss and he stopped thinking.
" My turn, " she announced as she planted her hands on his chest, then she reached down and trailed her fingers along the waistband of his black jeans. Realising just how fast he was currently breathing. And she hadn't even touched him yet. She saw the bulge under his jeans and with the palm of her hand, she rubbed up and down. But then Nick captured both her wrists and urged her to look up at him. A clearly pained look in his face. He was barely hanging on and she had no idea what that simple touch was doing to him.
" You don't have to do this. " he clearly stated.
He wanted her to. Had actually been fantasizing about it for a while now, but he didn't want her to do it simply because she felt like she had to. He was okay with pleasuring her. Even if his own body was crying out for her in a voice so loud it was almost deafening.
" But I want to. " Crystal confidently announced. Looking him straight in the eye so that he could see for himself that she was telling the truth. And he did. Letting go of her wrists, he gave her another kiss.
She was breaking him. And he had come to realize that there was nothing he wouldn't do for her. He loved her that much.... he loved her too much for his own good. But he was strangely okay with that. Crystal unbuckled his belt and undid the button before she unzipped the jeans with slow movements that made him feel like she was torturing him.
She went down on her knees, all while keeping her eyes fixed on his. Then she lowered both his jeans and briefs enough for his cock to spring free. He was rock hard. And she marvelled at the large size of him. And she found herself awfully eager to touch him. So she did. Raising her hand, she delicately wrapped it around him.
Nick sucked in a breath. His eyes squeezing shut as he felt her hand on him. She was killing him with that light touch. And when she stroked his length, he groaned. Feeling vulnerable in a way he'd never felt with anyone before.
Crystal gently stroked him, looking up to see the longing on his features.
" God Crystal!... tighter... " Nick said past clenched teeth. Then as if to prove his point, he wrapped his own hands firmly around hers and continued with the stroking action.
" Let go , I want to do it alone, " she scolded and he did as asked. Certain that he would have been amused if the situation was different.
Tightening her grip, she quickened her stroking, looking up every once in awhile to stare at him. She watched as a bead of precum formed on the tip of his head, and without even stopping to think, she leaned in and licked it off.
" Fuck!.." Nick swore.
Clenching his hands into fists so that he wouldn't fist them into her hair like he so desperately wanted to do.
Crystal liked the taste of him. It was like salty sweetness, and his cock was like a burning bar of steel covered in soft petals. She licked the tip again, then ran the tip of her tongue along his length from his head to his base.
" Crystal! If you don't stop now I won't be able to help it! " he couldn't even recognize his own voice. And several licks later, Crystal pulled away and looked up at him, he was looking at her. His grey eyes wild in a way she had never before seen them. Then she placed both her hands around his knees.
" Good... " she said with a half smile half smirk, " I don't want you to help it, " and with that she leaned in and sucked his length into her mouth. Nick leaned back, a curse escaping him. And his hands dug into her hair the same way he had tried not to. Crystal sucked on him, and she rather enjoyed the feel of him pulling her hair, thrusting her even deeper.
Her eyes watered as he hit her throat, and on one occasion she almost gagged, but overall she enjoyed the action a little more than even she was willing to admit.
" So close... so fucking close! " Nick said as the pleasure rose until he couldn't hold it in anymore, and he let it explode inside him. Spurts of his cum shot down Crystal's mouth and throat and she swallowed it. All of it until finally the orgasm wore off. And she felt the grip on her hair loosen up before Nick pulled her up. Crashing his lips to hers in a desperate kiss that tore at both their hearts.
He could taste himself in her mouth and the thought almost had his cock growing hard again.
" I love you. " Crystal said in between the kiss. And Nick placed her hand on his chest, right where his heart lay. The same heart that now belonged to her, and she felt the fast beats, relishing in the warm feeling they gave her. And afterwards, with her forehead plastered on his, she knew that there was nothing that would ever make her stop loving him.
