Melody paced up and down her room.  She looked at the red numbers on the bedside clock.  They moved so goddamn slowly that she wanted to pick the clock up and throw it out the window.  She looked down at herself.  She was wearing a navy satin something…she wasn’t sure what…a long camisole, a short slip…hard to say… 

Gus had dropped it off.  Amongst all the things he’d had to do today, he’d managed to go shopping.  How did he know?  Had he talked to Jeff?  Who knew what?  My goodness, were they all waiting for this?  Rafe would find out for sure.

Nope, she wasn’t going there.  Tomorrow, she would go there.  But not tonight.  She was going to give herself tonight.  She was going to give them tonight.  But tomorrow…

And navy…interesting…she would have thought Gus would have chosen black…Mel would have chosen black.  Hmm…maybe that said something too.  But no…navy…satin…but with kind of a swirl pattern… oh, for gawd’s sakes, get a grip.

She picked up her guitar.  She sat down in the chair and played.  Every song reminded her of Nick, of course.  Especially the ones he wrote.

And then he was there. 

Melody had left the safety lock flipped across so that the door was open a crack.  She didn’t even hear him come in.  She finished a song and looked up and there he was, leaning on the wall watching her, his arms folded across his chest.  She set the guitar aside and went to him.

Nick waited for her to come to him.  Then he held out his arms.  Melody put a hand lightly on his chest…just checking to see if he was real.  He was real.  He slid a hand behind her neck and held her head steady while he kissed her.  It was gentle and anxious and urgent and sweet…

“Mmmm…” said Melody.  “You taste good.”

Nick grinned.  “I stopped off to brush my teeth.”

Melody backed away from him.  “How was the party?”  She pointed at his shirt and flicked her index finger.  Disrobe, please.

“It was boring.  I was a lousy conversationalist.  All I could think about was getting back here to you.”  Nick undid some buttons and pulled his shirt out of his pants.

“What did Marisa wear?”

“Some dress…blue…”  Nick removed his shirt.  He reached for his belt.

“Uh uh,” said Mel, shaking her finger at him.  “I’ll take it from here.” 

She ran one fingernail down his chest, tugging gently on one nipple ring on her way down and then undid his belt.  She undid the zipper of his pants and dropped them to the floor.  She pulled his boxers down carefully, freeing his erection.  She pushed him gently back so that he was sitting on the bed.  Then she knelt at his feet and removed his socks and pants, brushing against him with her hair and her face as she moved back and forth.

When he was naked, Nick reached for her, putting his hands on her shoulders and pulling her gently upward.  But she resisted.

“No, Baby,” she said.  “Not yet.”  And then she pushed his knees apart and took him in her mouth.

“Aaarrgghh…”  Nick made a guttural sound of pleasure, as her hot, wet tongue made lazy circles around the head of his penis.  He leaned back on his hands and gave himself up to it.  But not for long…he knew he wouldn’t last.

“Mel…Baby, no…”  He put his hands in her hair and pulled her head gently away from him.  “I want you too much,” he whispered.  “I’d never last…”

“I don’t care…” she murmured, and she lowered her head again.

“I do,” said Nick, firmly.  He grabbed her under her armpits and pulled her upward, lying back across the bed, her body along the length of his.  She could feel how much he wanted her and she pushed herself upright and straddled him.  She held him in her hand and rubbed him between her folds, letting go just for a moment when he grabbed the hem of her whatever-the- hell-you-wanted-to-call-it and pulled it off over her head.  She reached for him again, but he sat up and wrapped his arms around her.

“I have to slow this down, Baby,” said Nick, holding her head against his chest.  Melody used the opportunity to run her tongue over his nipple and tug on his ring with her teeth.  Nick closed his eyes and moaned.  Then he rolled them both over.

He hovered over her, leaning on his forearms.  “I want you so much…”  He kissed her all over her face…and then her neck…and then her breasts…

Melody sighed and moaned as the different sensations moved through her.  She caressed his back and his shoulders… his chest and his stomach… But Nick resisted any attempt of hers to reach for his manhood. 

And then he moved down her body…kissing and licking every inch of skin on the way.  The only part of him she could reach was his head and shoulders.  She raked her fingernails across his skin, eliciting soft moans of pleasure from him.

“Nick…” she whispered, and the end of the word turned into an unearthly sound as he moved his mouth over her centre.  He licked her and sucked her gently, and then he pulled her bud into his mouth in one strong sucking motion.  He flicked his tongue rapidly back and forth.  And he made her howl.

Well now, howl…that’s a really subjective term…she thought later.  She hadn’t sounded like a wolf or a coyote…more like a wounded cat, she believed.  But definitely something from the animal kingdom.  She had gripped the sheets in both hands and thrown her head back.  Her hips had come up to meet his mouth, and she had…well…howled.

Nick moved up and slipped the condom on with a practiced ease that would have impressed Melody, if she had still been on the planet.  He used his hand to guide himself to her opening.  He pushed inside her just a bit and waited for her to return to Earth. 

“Ni…Ni…”  It was all she could manage.  It was enough. 

He pushed himself into her, slowly but steadily.  He wasn’t afraid of hurting her.  He just wanted to make it last.

Melody shifted her hips and pulled him in.  She gripped him with her inner walls and made him moan.  “Be with me,” she murmured, pushing her hips up to take him in.  She wrapped her legs around him.

“Not yet,” he murmured…

“Now!” she insisted.

And so he moved inside her, deep strokes that sent them both somewhere far away…but together.  And when he felt his release…not as long as he had hoped, way too long in her estimation…they hugged each other and moved together and…well, frankly, there was more noise…maybe not howling, but definitely moaning…no, more than that…stifled screaming would probably be the best description.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“You okay?” 

Nick pushed himself up onto his elbows.  They had collapsed into a moaning, sweating heap.  Mel was still trembling beneath him.

She opened her eyes and smiled.  “Who taught you that?” she whispered.  “To be so unselfish.”

Nick smiled down on her and kissed her eyelids.  “Are you kidding?  Do you know what it does to me to watch you…sail away?  That’s not unselfish.”

“Mmmm…” She ran her fingertips up his arms and around his neck, pulling his head down for a kiss.   “Mmmm…” she said again a few moments later.

Nick shifted off her.  “Be right back.”

While Nick was in the bathroom, Melody got under the blankets.  She plumped the pillows and made a little nest for them.

“Kevin and Howie,” said Nick, coming back into the room and slipping under the covers.

“What?”  Melody nestled down into the crook of his arm and turned her face up to look at him.  God! He was so beautiful!

“…who taught me.  I mean, not the actual…physical things…but the attitude…”

“Really?”

“Yeah, it was hard…I was just a kid…I didn’t know anything about girls…and suddenly, there were all these girls who wanted to…do stuff…”

You can add one more to that list, thought Melody.  She caressed his tummy, which was getting slimmer by the day.

“Kevin gave me ‘the talk’…about protection and shit like that.  And then he just kept talking… that’s Kev…mmm…”

Melody’s fingernail was circling his navel.

“He told me about all the caring part…and you know…making sure the girl got something out of it too…all that stuff…”

“You’re cute when you’re blush,” said Melody, continuing her journey up his chest with her fingertips.  Nick rolled his eyes and then bit his lip as her hand swooped down his body in a raking motion that barely touched him and nearly killed him.

“So what did Howie do?”

“Howie…Sweet D…”  Nick sighed.  “He really is, you know…sweet, I mean.  All the stuff that Kevin told me…Howie wouldn’t even have considered that there was another way to do it.”

“He sounds like a nice man,” said Melody.

“He is…you know what he said once…we were talking…guy stuff…and one of us said that it wasn’t fair that women could go all night and have multiple…you know…and men couldn’t…only a couple of times…”

“…and inversely proportional to the amount of alcohol consumed…” suggested Melody.

“Right.”  Nick thought he knew what she meant, but he wasn’t sure.  “And Howie said he was glad.  He thought it was God’s way of protecting men.  Because if we never had to stop, we would just keep giving pleasure to the women until we died of exhaustion.”

“Introduce me to him,” said Mel, with a grin.

“No way,” replied Nick.

“What about Brian and AJ?”

“Oh no, we didn’t talk about stuff like that around Brian.  He’s not a prude or anything…he just didn’t think it was right…especially after he hooked up with Leighanne.  And AJ?  Well…it was just a scorecard for him.”

“Like Tofu?”

“Yeah, kinda…but more…desperate somehow…”

“You don’t think Tofu’s desperate?”

“Yeah, I guess.  But with AJ, it was more…like, if I sleep with all of them, at least one of them will love me…yeah, you’re right…like Tofu…”  Nick stifled a yawn.

“Go to sleep,” said Melody, planting gentle kisses on his chest.  She shifted away from him.

Nick pulled her back.  “In a minute,” he said softly, and then he took her to the stars again.
