Love Struck (The Taylor Brothers Book 4)

They reached Trent's house in the late afternoon. In the evening, Trent would get engaged to Susan in a small family gathering. While he was getting ready in his room, Annalise helped Susan get ready for her engagement. They didn't want a huge party so Trent's mom just arranged for a low-key affair at home.

Annalise helped her into a beautiful midnight blue dress with a long tulle flowing skirt and a lace appliqué bodice. She herself wore a blush pink, sleeveless dress with an assymetrical hemline. The two girls went downstairs and the two guys couldn't take their eyes off them. Nelson wanted to whisk her away to some remote place and make love to her for the rest of their lives. Who needed anything else? The passionate desire burning inside him was like a throbbing ache which had been fuelled more by that short make-out session they had in the morning. He knew he had to complete that else he wouldn't be able to sleep another night but how? With her being flanked by so many people he had no chance to even sneak a kiss.

"Nelson's looking like a lovestruck puppy," whispered Susan, suppressing a giggle.

"It's lovesick not lovestruck," Annalise pointed out, suppressing a giggle too.

"He doesn't look sick, so I'll stick to my new phrase, 'lovestruck puppy' ," said Susan, giggling.

Annalise looked at him and had to agree to her. He did look lovestruck! "What? Why are you two staring at me?" Asked a puzzled Nelson looking discreetly at his aroused friend down there. Did they notice it? But how? He covered it with a cushion from the sofa. He was actually visualizing the makeout session of the morning in his mind in slow motion.

"Forget then dude. They'll go on giggling the whole night and I'll never get engaged. What's mom doing?" Asked Trent getting frustrated. The whole family was there but her mom and Carla were busy preparing some tray as Trent waited impatiently to get engaged.

"Dunno. She's preparing a tray or something, " said Susan with a shrug.

"Why do we need a tray? All we need are the rings," said Trent, getting up to check what his mom was up to.

"Why don't you guys stay the night and go home tomorrow morning? It's better to drive in the morning, " suggested Thomas.

"Yes, he's right," said Trent's dad. Nelson's face brightened up. He could have stayed back forever and slept in that room with Annalise. Who wanted to go home?

"If you say so, we'll go home tomorrow morning then, " said Nelson, feeling a strange excitement again. He would get to complete that session after all!

Trent came back pulling his mom along with him as  giggling Carla followed with a tray. "Someone's over eager to get engaged!" She sang.

Trent's cheeks colored a little while Susan blushed crimson. The engagement ceremony went on and they slipped the rings on each other's finger. Everyone congratulated them and then proceeded towards the dining table to tuck into a sumptuous meal.

"Trent, I won't let you leave tonight. It's not safe to drive so late. Go back tomorrow morning, " said his mom. Trent looked at Nelson and he nodded.

"Okay, ma," he agreed.

"We'll prepare for your wedding once the date's fixed in a month. Be prepared to  shift here to Jones Creek after the wedding, " said his mom.

"Yeah, we'll move back home. Don't worry," promised Trent. After dinner, Annalise and Susan helped clear the table and rinse the dishes. Afterwards they went up to their room. They changed into their pajamas.

"I'll spend the night with Trent like yesterday. I'm sending the lovestruck puppy to you," grinned Susan as Annalise rolled her eyes at her. Susan flew out of the room happily as if sailing in cloud nine, obviously, she was engaged to the man she loved after all.

Annalise was coming her long hair when Nelson entered her room and locked the door. She turned to look at him as he strode towards her, a hungry look in his eyes. "Alise, I need to finish what we started this morning, " he said earnestly, taking the comb away from her hand and keeping it on the dresser. He then picked her up in his arms and carried her bridal style towards the bed. Laying her gently, he discarded his shirt leaving his bare ripped body exposed to her hungry eyes. For the first time Annalise felt the need to touch him, to please him and to have him touch her intimately. Her whole body was alive with anticipation. She could already feel a gush of hot wetness between her legs and a strange tbrobbing deep with him.

Nelson, hovered over her on the bed and claimed her lips in a possessive kiss. It was hungry like a predators as if it was all he had imagined since morning.  His hands roamed under the thin cami all over her body, eliciting deep throaty moans from her. The sound of her heated moan made his kiss all the more feverish. His tongue brushed against her lips and opened them up to plunge inside deeply. Their tongues swirled around each other's mouth while their heads twisted from side to side angling their mouths well to deepen the kiss all the more. It was a steamy make out session and when they both were breathless enough, Nelson's hot mouth trailed along her jawline, down her neck to suck and bite the skin lightly. Annalise knew that she would definitely get a love bite after that kiss. She was acutely aware of his kisses upon her neck, soft and teasing. His hand traveled down to her hot pajama shorts and plunged inside her panties, making her close her eyes with the need to be touched.

"So wet, Alise, " he breathed out in a hoarse whisper. He pushed a finger deep within her and she gasped with ecstasy. She had never imagined that it would feel this good to be touched by Nelson. She was doomed for life. She was already his for life.

"More please, touch me, Nelson," she whispered, breathlessly, fisting his hair and his shoulders for support. Her hands roamed along his bare back and chest lovingly as his fingers thrust in and out of her in a crazy rhythm till she came undone. It was her first release and it felt very good indeed.

"Are you happy with me, Alise?" He asked with a passionate tenderness that made Annalise look up into his eyes to see the love that he felt for her in them. She nodded at him.

"Yes Nelson. Very happy, " she told him.

"Do you realize that there's no looking back now? You're mine, for life," said Nelson, touching her forehead with his.

"Yes, so are you, " she reminded him. Nelson released her and looked at her with a grin.

"I'm all yours babe," he told her, placing her hands on his chest. "Feel my muscles,  they're all yours. Do you like them?" He asked, hopefully. Annalise's hands roamed all over his torso, stroking him as he stared at her with eyes filled with intense desire. "Well?" He prompted impatiently.

"Yes, I love them," she admitted and Nelson gave her a dazzling smile. They made out a little and then went to sleep snuggled against each other. Annalise was bowled over by his charm. Their relationship had strengthened more and Annalise felt more confident of their feelings for one another. She was glad that she had made this decision on the spur-of-the-moment to come away on this trip with him.

The next morning they all drove back to Houston after an early breakfast. The air had shifted between them and Nelson was more relaxed in her company than ever. Both of them had college to attend to so he dropped her at her house with a kiss on her forehead.

"See you later at the restaurant, " he said and Annalise kissed his cheek back.

"See you," she said. She was looking forward now to her restaurant duty all the more.

"Anna, how did your friend's engagement go?" Asked aunt Emily as she came out of the kitchen.  Annalise had stopped to hug Alexis who was ready to goto school along with Aries and Derek.

"It went well. Susan will leave Houston after her wedding and settle there forever. So, we'll be together for only a month more," said Annalise.

"It's just an hour's drive away. I'm sure you can go and meet her whenever you want to," said aunt Emily.

"You will also marry and go away Anna?" Asked Alexis with a worried expression on her face.

"Not anytime soon," answered Annalise with a laugh. Aunt Emily gave her a weird look.

"I need to talk to you in the evening dear, " she said with a strained smile.

"Sure, aunt Emily, " said Annalise, feeling apprehensive about what she would say. She waved the children as they left for school and went to her room to get ready for her college.
