Meant To Be Ch. 03

"Here, you dropped this," he said with a playful grin. Kelsey smiled around them and closed her eyes. He pumped his fingers in and out of her mouth erotically, then quickly replaced them with his aching dick. He groaned as Kelsey swallowed his length, her lips brushing against his pelvis.

She wrapped her hands around the base of his cock. She slowly pulled her mouth off, providing him with a perfect amount of pressure and suction. Her mouth popped off of his dick and her hands started to stroke him. He reached down and lifted her face up so they could look at each other.

Neither of them spoke. There were no words for what they were feeling. They both knew that this was exactly where they were meant to be.

Kelsey fell back to the ground. She pulled on his arms and he dropped himself down towards her. He balanced on his arms and knees, his feet still trapped in his heavy work boots and jeans. Neither of them cared or even seemed to notice. He weaved his fingers into her long hair, gripping it as he kissed her swollen mouth. As he dropped his body down, she felt his erection brush against her slick pussy.

They both groaned at the sensation.

"Oh, Kelsey. Oh my God," he said with a sharp inhale.

"Ahhh! Just...just bury yourself inside of me," she panted.

Nathan dropped his right hand down and grabbed his erection. He pulled his face back and stared down at Kelsey as he lined the head up at her warm, dripping entrance.

"I love you."

Kelsey smiled.

"I lov---"

Nathan didn't even wait for her to finish the sentence before thrusting his entire length into her.

They both moaned in unison once Nathan's balls pressed against her. Neither of them moved. They just panted and stared at each other. Kelsey started to shake.

"Ohhh fuck! You're so tight. Are you ok?"

"Oh God, yes. Nathan...I can't believe you're finally inside of me. Oh my God!"

Nathan groaned and dropped his forehead down to hers. He started to pull out slowly, inching his cock back out of Kelsey's warm, smooth cunt. After having been filled so perfectly, she moaned at the sudden feeling of emptiness.

Nathan pushed himself back in and Kelsey's lower back arched off the ground. Nathan kissed her between her breasts and groaned as he gradually found a rhythm that they both seemed to enjoy.

Kelsey fought to keep her eyes open, but he was thrusting himself into her at a perfect, steady pace. His pelvis was rubbing against hers at just the right angle, stimulating her clit each time they made contact. Her eyes fluttered closed as her breathing deepened.

"Oh Nate...fuck, you're so good. Ohhh God, you're good," she moaned. Her hands came up to his neck and she pulled his mouth down to hers. "Kiss me," she whispered.

Nathan groaned and brushed his lips against hers softly.

"You're so beautiful, Kelsey," he whispered between kisses. She dug her teeth into his lip, then released him.

"I want to ride you."

Nathan rolled onto the grass. Kelsey felt his dick slip out of her pussy as she positioned herself on top of him. She placed her knees on either side of his body and reached down between her legs to find his cock. She grabbed it by the shaft and groaned as she sank down onto him.

She sat up so he could have an unobstructed view of her body as she glided up and down his stiff erection. She started out slow, rising and falling just a few inches at a time, enjoying the stretch and the full feeling of his cock deep inside. Her hands glided up and down her thighs. Her head fell back, raising her face and her naked breasts towards the sun.

After several minutes of slow, sensuous riding, Kelsey needed more. She could feel the blood rushing to her pussy, letting her know that an orgasm wouldn't be far away, so she grabbed one of Nathan's hands and guided it to her clit. His thumb immediately found it's target.

Kelsey's eyes sprang open and she started riding him faster.

"Oh yeah...ohhhh yeah. Oh Nathan!" she gasped.

She leaned forward and braced her hands against his hard chest. Nathan's hands came around and grabbed her ass. He pushed and pulled, making her bounce on his cock as hard and fast as her hips would allow. Nathan's head lifted and he latched his mouth onto one of her bouncing breasts. He moaned around it.

"Fuck, Kelsey! I'm close...fuck! I'm fucking close," he growled around her stiff nipple.

Just hearing Nathan tell her that she was about to ride him to an orgasm for the first time was enough to push Kelsey over the edge. She wrapped her arms around his neck and rode him until her orgasm rendered her completely motionless. She sat, impaled on his throbbing cock, feeling her climax tear through her body, making her pussy clench tightly around him. Nathan pulled his mouth off her breast.

"Ohhh, yeah. I can feel you -oh fuck- I can feel you squeezing my cock, Kelsey!"

"Ahhh! Come with me! Come with me...come on...come on...oh fuck!" she panted into his ear.

Nathan groaned and grabbed her ass, cramming the very last inch of his dick into her pulsing, wet slit.

"Oh fuuuuck," Nathan growled as his cum exploded from his cock, spurting one long, hot jet of cum after another into her. His entire body jerked underneath her. Kelsey moaned as her insides were coated with Nathan's hot cum. She collapsed on top of him.

It took Nathan's cock several minutes to stop pulsing and jerking inside of her, but eventually, she could feel him start to soften. She carefully lifted herself off of him and fell down beside him, nuzzling into his side. His fingers lazily glided up and down her back as they tried to regulate their breathing.

Kelsey sighed and kissed his chest. She leaned up on her elbow and looked down at Nathan, who was smiling up at her.

"Wow," she laughed.

"Wow." Nathan nodded.

"Nate, that was..." Kelsey shrugged at her lack of available speech.

"Fucking incredible? Mind blowing? Worth waiting a lifetime for?" he suggested with a grin.

Kelsey nodded. "All of the above. You're amazing."

"You're amazing." He pulled her back down to his side and kissed her forehead. "I really do love you, Kels."

She smiled against his chest. "I'll never get tired of hearing that. I love you, too."

They lay hidden in the tall grass for the longest time, just kissing and touching each other. They talked about everything. They went from laughing to serious and back again. An hour felt like mere minutes when she was in his arms. Their fingers and legs intertwined.

"So, we get to take family pictures here tomorrow, huh?" Nathan laughed, lifting his head to look around.

Kelsey giggled. "Yeah. That should be fun, trying to keep a straight face."

She sat up and slipped her bra on, motioning for Nathan to hook it behind her back. He did, then kissed the clasp and reached down to pull his pants up. They dressed quickly, and after making sure they had all their belongings, they started walking back through the grassy field, starting the short walk back to the park.

The sun was beginning to set and the park was nearly empty as they made it back to the trail that lead to their cars.

"So, when does your internship at Studio 16 start?" Nathan asked.

Kelsey's heart dropped. She knew that she needed to tell Nathan about her job offer. She swallowed.

"Well, actually, I--"

Nathan's phone interrupted her. He held up a finger and fished his phone out of his pocket. Kelsey groaned inwardly. She knew that she'd have to find a better time to talk to him about something so important. It wasn't really a conversation that could be rushed.

'Sorry. It's Dad. Just a sec," Nathan answered his phone as they continued walking. Just as he was hanging up, they had reached their cars.

"Sorry. He needs me to come over before I go home," he said, unlocking his truck. Kelsey pressed the button on her fob, unlocking her doors as well. Nathan opened her door for her and put her camera on the seat. He dropped his mouth down and kissed her. His hand wrapped around her waist, squeezing it gently.

"I'm never going to forget today, Kelsey."

She shook her head. "Me either."

Nathan pulled back a couple inches as a look of concern spread across his face.

"You alright?"

Kelsey smiled and placed a hand on his chest. "I'm fine. Just...happy."

Nathan laughed softly. "Me too, Kels."

They kissed one last time before Kelsey climbed into her car. Nathan closed the door for her, then with a wink and a smile, got into his own truck. They drove off, Nathan to his parent's house, Kelsey to hers. She drove behind his truck, trying to think of the best way to talk to him about the possibility of New York.

Kelsey knew that after she took pictures the next day, everyone was headed to a nearby town for a nice dinner. She decided that she and Nathan could ride together and discuss her situation on the way home.

She sighed as she pulled up to her house. As she got out of her car, she glanced over at Nathan, who was getting out of his truck at the Lowe's.

He mouthed a simple 'Love you' before walking inside.

Kelsey felt her heart swell.

How could she ever leave?

>>>><<<<

"Alright. Nancy, I need you a little to your left. Cameron...stop moving. Dave, you should be over a little to your left, too. Cameron! Stop squirming! Nate, next to Cam," Kelsey directed.

Everyone was laughing and having a good time as Kelsey helped the Lowe's pose and position themselves for family photos. She had already taken her family's photos with the help of a tripod and the automatic timer, getting herself in a few pictures with her parents. The early evening sun was perfect and the scenery couldn't have been more beautiful. Kelsey had managed to get all of the pictures that their parents wanted. The entire Lowe family photo was the last of the evening before leaving for dinner.

"Ok. I'm going to do a few posed pictures, then I want everyone to do your own thing so I can get some candid shots of everyone. Ok, here we go!"

Kelsey started snapping pictures, moving and angling herself, making sure to get plenty of options for them to choose from. She played with her settings, starting with the ones that she knew from yesterday would work best. After taking several posed shots, she took several of Nathan and his brother wrestling around, a few of his parents laughing, some of everyone laughing as Dave told a stupid joke. Kelsey smiled at the screen as she watched picture after picture of this beautiful family come into view.

"Alright, guys! I'm done! I'll start editing these tonight and get them on discs as soon as possible."

Nancy and Kelsey's Mom came over and gave her a hug, thanking her for taking the pictures. Everyone started heading back towards the cars as Kelsey packed up her camera. Nathan helped her carry the equipment.

"How do you think they turned out?"

"Really well, I think. These might be the best ones yet. The light was really great tonight."

"Want to ride with me to dinner?"

Kelsey looked up at Nathan and nodded. She swallowed, knowing that she needed to talk to him about her job opportunity, but she still wasn't sure how or when to approach him about it.

Kelsey and Nathan packed her equipment into the back of her parents car. She jumped into his truck and they followed everyone to a nice Italian restaurant the next town over.

They drove quietly for awhile before Nathan broke the silence.

"You're still ok about what happened yesterday, right?"

Kelsey nodded. "Of course. I promise, I was ready."

"Alright. I was so scared that you were going to think that I told you I loved you, just so you'd have sex with me."

"I know you better than that."

"That's true." Nathan let his hand slide across the center seat, lacing his fingers between hers. He nodded down at their hands. "I want to pull you across the seat and make you sit next to me, but I think my Dad would see." He laughed, nodding at his parent's car in front of them. Kelsey giggled.

"I don't think they'd mind."

"Probably not. I'm pretty sure they're all convinced that we will end up together."

Kelsey laughed quietly, then decided to change the subject. "So, tell me about the new medical building that you guys are working on."

She stared at Nathan as he started talking about work, and the remodeling they were going to do to the Bradford's house once Kelsey moved out. As hard as she tried to focus, Kelsey's mind started to wander in a million different directions. She thought about New York and Studio 16. She thought about Nathan and what it would be like to leave him again. She thought about having to find her own place, either here or in New York. She was so consumed with worry that she didn't even realize that they had pulled up to the restaurant.

"Hey...Kelsey!" Nathan said, waving a hand in front of her. She blinked, then looked around.

"We're here. Did all my talk about work put you to sleep or something?" He laughed. Kelsey laughed nervously, then got out of the truck. They met their families inside. As the hostess lead them to their table, Nathan leaned down to her ear.

"Are you sure you're ok?" he asked.

Kelsey nodded and forced a smile. "I'm fine."

The expression on his face told Kelsey that he didn't quite believe her, but they had arrived at their table, so he was forced to drop it. Nathan sat down, opposite from Kelsey. She felt his foot rub against hers. She peaked up over her menu and smiled at him. She felt his other foot work it's way between her ankles. He used his feet to push her legs apart slightly. Her eyes slowly traveled back up to his as they stared at each other.

"Nate? Kelsey?"

They both jumped to attention as Dave pointed towards the waiter. He was waiting on their orders. They ordered, straightened themselves up, and tried to pay attention to the conversations that were happening between their families.

As the evening went on, Kelsey couldn't help but think about how much she would miss, not just Nate, but both of their families if she decided to leave. She couldn't imagine not being home for family dinners, birthday parties, or even simple get-togethers like this one. Her eyes wandered from person to person around the table, finally stopping on Nathan. She watched him as he laughed and told a story about something funny Dave had done at work the week before. Everyone laughed and moved on to new conversations, but Kelsey couldn't take her eyes off of Nathan. He took a bite of his meal and looked at Kelsey. She blushed when he caught her staring.

Nathan pulled his phone out of his pocket. He typed something, then rested it on the table. Kelsey felt her purse buzz. She reached in, thankful that she'd put it on silent, and opened the message.

Nathan: Maybe we can get a little lost on the way home...

Kelsey smiled and looked up at him. She nodded discreetly. He smiled and put his phone away.

The rest of the meal went perfectly. Just as everyone was standing up to leave, Kelsey felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around and her heart fell into her stomach.

"Kelsey Bradford! What a surprise!"

"Mr. Powell. Wow. Um, Hi." Kelsey stuttered and leaned in to hug her former Professor, the same man that gave her name to David Fisher. She started to panic when her Mom came up to introduce herself.

"Mr. Powell? I've heard so much about you, I'm Kelsey's Mom." They shook hands.

"Well, it's a pleasure. Kelsey was always one of my best students. You must be very proud."

Kelsey stood and listened awkwardly. She took a deep breath and prayed that Mr. Powell didn't mention New York.

"So, Kelsey, David Fisher emailed me and said that you haven't returned his call. I was surprised. I figured you would jump at the opportunity."

Kelsey groaned inwardly. She didn't even have the chance to reply.

"David Fisher? Isn't he a pretty famous photographer?" her Mom asked. "How did he hear about you?"

Kelsey opened her mouth but couldn't find the words. She glanced up at Nathan who was listening intently.

"David and I are close friends from college. We always kept in touch, even after he left for New York and when I started teaching photography. He always comes to me for internship referrals. Kelsey was my top referral this year, naturally," Mr. Powell replied. Kelsey felt every single pair of eyes staring at her.

"Well, Kelsey. It was great to see you. I do hope you take David up on his offer." Mr. Powell nodded at her family. "Pleasure to meet you all." He smiled politely, then walked away.

Kelsey closed her eyes. She couldn't believe what had just happened. She turned around slowly to face her parents, the Lowe's and Nathan. Everyone stared at her.

"New York? Kelsey? When were you going to tell us?"

"Mom, I haven't decided anything yet. You heard Mr. Powell. I haven't even called David Fisher back."

"Kelsey, I-" her Mom started to protest before her Dad interjected.

"Listen, Kelsey is a grown woman. I'm sure she'll make a perfectly wise, rational decision. We can talk about this when we get home." His eyes wandered to Nathan, then back to Kelsey. Everyone silently gathered their things and started to leave. Kelsey noticed that Nathan was walking several steps behind her.

Kelsey climbed into Nathan's truck and closed the door. She laid her head on the headrest behind her as Nathan got in and started the engine. He pulled out of the parking lot and they drove silently for several minutes before the tension got the best of her.

"Look, it's just an offer at this point. I haven't even called the guy back."

"How long have you known about this, Kelsey?" he asked quietly.

"Only since Monday."

"Only since Monday? Only? Kelsey, do you remember everything that has happened since Monday?"

"Of course."

"So, you found out on Monday. Since then, I've told you that I loved you. You told me that you loved me. We've had sex for the first time...and the whole time you knew that there was a chance that you might leave?"

Kelsey didn't say anything.

"So, you just let this happen," he pointed back and forth between them. "You just let this thing between us get more and more involved. When were you going to tell me?"

"I wanted to tell you yesterday, but didn't know how. Then everything happened and I just...I just didn't know what to do, so I was going to talk to you about it tonight."

"Before or after we fucked, Kelsey?"

"You don't have to be so mean about this, Nathan. I haven't made any decisions."

"Listen. I was ready to lose you to college, but New York? For how long? Would you even come home? What if you landed some incredible job out there?"

"Nathan, these are the same questions that I've been asking myself for the last 48 hours. I don't know. All I do know is that this is an incredible opportunity that I have to at least consider. David Fisher is an amazing photographer."

David drove in silence. Kelsey scooted closer, but could feel the tension radiating off of him. She slipped her hand onto his leg as they drove quietly for several minutes.

"Say something," she whispered.

"I don't know what to say, Kels. I'm just sitting here, thinking about what would happen if you left. I just can't believe that you let it go that far yesterday if you knew all along that you might be leaving."

"Do you wish that we wouldn't have had sex? That I hadn't told you that I love you?"

"I don't know. It just complicates things now."

"I just feel torn, Nathan. What would you do if you were me? If you had someone that you loved at home, someone that you could see a real future with, and then the chance of a lifetime came along and was waiting for you in New York? Seriously, Nathan...what the hell would you do?" Kelsey could feel her frustration consuming her.

Nathan didn't even look at Kelsey as they drove back through their small town.
