"So how was your first day?"

With a smile that didn't quite reach my eyes, I continued walking beside the tall blonde who was also starting out as a volunteer at New York General Hospital. Yes, I did have an interest in volunteering and helping people, but perhaps I would have been more excited if I didn't feel like this was forced on me by my mother.

"It was good," I answered honestly. "Besides the group orientation, I just did a tour of the ER and some other parts of the hospital. How about you?"

The blonde girl, who I couldn't remember the name of, tossed her hair over her shoulder and checked her nails. "Amazing. I was taken on a tour of the trauma floor and the neonatal unit. I'm not sure which one I'm going to be volunteering for yet. Most likely neonatal."

Well that was a relief . At least that was super far away from where I was going to be volunteering. I felt bad for feeling that way, but something about this girl just rubbed me the wrong way.

"That's cool," I said absently as we continued walking to the small locker room where each volunteer put their belongings.

I really couldn't wait to get out of here. With everything that's been going on, I haven't really gotten to see much of Nathan in the past couple days. It was all thanks to my mom who's been keeping me busy with doing stuff around the house and preparing me for my volunteer job. Thankfully, I wasn't going home after I left the hospital. I was going straight to Nathan's house.

Just as we stepped into the locker room, Blondie Long Legs leaned against the locker next to mine. "Aren't the doctors totally hot? Do you think they would...ya know."

Jesus Christ. I needed to get the hell out of here. Stat. "Probably not," I answered when I grabbed my purse from the locker. "Especially considering most of us are barely eighteen."

"So? Doesn't mean they don't like something hot and young. I betcha I can get—Oh. My. God. Who is that?"

Deciding that humoring her might help me get out of here faster, I turned around to see who she was talking about. Then my entire body tensed up. Dressed in black jeans, a Bone Thugs shirt, Converse and a leather jacket, Nathan looked like a magazine model as he walked towards us.

"He is fine," Blondie Long Legs said with a groan. "Screw the hot doctor's. I want a piece of that."

Keep dreaming, whore. That boy is mine. "That's my boyfriend," I said pointedly.

The smile dropped from her face as she glanced from me back to him. "You...and him? Like together?"

This bitch... "Yes, we're together." Very, very together. Even though I trusted Nathan completely, there was a tiny part of me that was worried he might notice the smoking hot blonde next to me. But his eyes never left me. And just when he stepped into the locker room, he grabbed me by the waist, pulled me against his body and gave me a heart-stoppjng kiss.

"Hey, gorgeous."

My body instantly grew hot and wanton. Just like it always did when I was around him. "Hey, yourself."

Blondie Long Legs cleared her throat from beside us. "Hey, there. I'm Georgette."

Nathan never broke eye contact with me. "Hi, I'm Nate." He stroked my bottom lip with his thumb before taking my purse from me. "Ready to go, baby?"

"Yeah," I answered with a smile. "Let's get outta here."

I could feel Blondie Long Leg's staring at us as Nathan led me through the hospital towards the parking lot. He kept his arm wrapped around my shoulders as we walked, mine was around his waist.

"How was it?" He asked me when we finally stepped outside.

"It was good. Mostly just orientation stuff today. I don't actually start volunteering until my next shift."

We were standing next to his Jeep now. I couldn't help but stare at the handsomeness of his face or the way he slicked his hair back now. It didn't used to be long enough for that when we first started dating, but once he found out that I loved his hair a little longer so I could brush my fingers through it he hasn't gotten it cut. And those sensual lips of his...God, the talent they held would be the death of me.

"Why are you looking at me like that, gorgeous?"

"Like what?"

"Like you're thinking about me naked."

Judging by the throaty tone of his voice and the way a corner of his mouth quirked up in a sexy smile, he knew that that was exactly what was on my mind. And the effect he had on my body.

Leaning against him, I rested my hands on his chest. "I'm thinking that I really wish I didn't drive my own car here. And I'm looking at you like this because you are looking really, really good, baby."

He groaned against my mouth when I teased his lips with my tongue. When Nathan buried his hand in my hair to deepen the kiss, I didn't miss the way he pushed that hard, thick erection into my hip.

"Take me somewhere," I breathed against his lips. "I need you inside me, Nathan. Right now."

"Shit, gorgeous. God, I can't resist you." He opened the passenger door of his Jeep and gestured for me to get inside. "Come on. We'll come get your car later."

Without hesitation, I hopped in and waited for Nathan to come around the car to get in himself. Then we were on our way. I already knew where he was heading. The direction he was going would take a straight to the tree house.

Even though it was only a ten minute drive, I had never felt so impatient. Blondie Long Legs was in my head and I couldn't get her out. The way she was looking at Nathan, like he was a piece of meat, made me want to punch her in her face. Was this how it was for Nathan when he got all possessive over me? If so, I completely understood.

When we finally arrived at the treehouse, we made quick work of climbing the stairs into our little hideaway. Once we had our privacy, it was all clothes ripping and mouths meeting before we made it to the makeshift bed.

"Lay down," I ordered him. He obeyed at once, stretching out on the plush blankets. Driven by jealousy and lust, I got on my knees and raked my eyes over his sexy naked body, lingering on that delicious six pack before finally landing on his dick.

"Karma, what the hell's gotten into—Oh, fuck."

I didn't give him a chance to finish his sentence. Unable to wait another minute, I leaned forward and took his hard cock into my mouth. His body arched as I sucked him deep. The head of him nearly hit my throat while my right hand was at the base, stroking him as my head bobbed up and down.

My eyes held his as I fucked him with my mouth. I loved the way he was watching me. There was surprise on his face mixed with intense pleasure. It's been wild and passionate between us before, but this was different. I was different.

My brain apparently left the building, because as I continued staring into his eyes as I sucked him, my own need grew intense. Before I knew what I was doing, my free hand slipped between my legs and onto my sex.

"Fuck, Karma." The groan that crawled up from his throat was erotic as hell. "You're so fucking sexy, baby. Get on me. I wanna feel you come on my dick."

Hungry for him, I did as he said. That hard, delicious length of him slipped out of my mouth and I got ready to straddle him. When he reached for the condom, I took it from him and met his heated stare with one of my own.

"I want to do it," I told him breathlessly.

Ripping the top of the foil, I pulled the condom out and rolled it onto him slowly. His chest was pumping up and down and his hands were fisted at his sides. With my legs spread over his hips, I positioned him at the entrance of my sex and sat on him hard, taking all of him deep inside me.

We both groaned at the sensation. Nathan's hands shot to my thighs and gripped them tightly. Filled with an overwhelming need, I didn't waste any time before I started moving on top of him. God, he felt good. The fullness of him inside, stretching me, was something I would never get enough of. It was like that with everything regarding Nathan. The way he touched me and the way he kissed me. The way he looked at me. All of it.

Just as I started upping my tempo, he sat up and took my breast in his mouth. I buried my fingers in his hair and moaned as he continued nibbling and tonguing my hard nipple. Then he did the same thing to the other one.

"Tell me you want me, Nathan."

There was raw hunger in his gaze when he looked up at me. And the huskiness of his voice made me even wetter. "Fuck yes, I want you. All of you. Always."

His response had me crushing my lips against his, sucking his tongue with a desperation that scared me. "Do you love me?" I asked, my own voice deep and throaty. "Tell me you love me."

This whole jealousy thing was getting to me. I knew how he felt about me, but the way that blonde girl was looking at him—the way all the girls looked at him—made me crave to hear him say the words. I almost needed to hear it more than I needed to feel him driving into me.

"I love you, baby," he murmured as he stared up at me from under thick dark lashes. "I love you so much. Do you love me?"

"Yes," I moaned when I started to feel my orgasm building. "I love you. And you're mine, Nathan. All mine."

My head fell back as my release hit me like a freight train. His name ripped out of my throat and my nails dug into his shoulders as I came for him. It felt like it was endless. The spasms rippling through me forever. I knew the instant he came, too. His body tensed up as he called out my name. This was one of those times I wish we didn't need the barrier of a condom. I wanted to feel him inside me with nothing between us. 

We both stayed that way for a few minutes, both of us catching our breaths. Then Nathan gently laid me beside him on the blankets. Still basking in the residual tingles from my release, all I could do was lay there while he got rid of the condom then returned to stretch out next to me.

Neither of us said anything for the longest time. We just looked into each other's eyes while Nathan brushed my hair out of my face and stroked the soft skin of my arm, causing goosebumps to rise.

"Are you okay, gorgeous?"

A satisfied smile formed on my face. "Of course I am. More than."

His brows drew together in deep concern. "Something happened today, didn't it? You've never been aggressive like that when we've had sex."

My smile faltered. "Are you saying you didn't enjoy it?"

"No. Hell no. I loved it. I just know you, baby." His fingers were featherlight as he traced my face. "Tell me what's on your mind."

A part of me didn't want to bring it up. Not because I was worried about what he would say, but because I didn't want to ruin the mood. This was the best sex we've ever had aside from the first time.

"I guess it was because I was a little...jealous today."

Confusion and surprise had his eyebrows nearly shooting into his hairline. "Jealous? About what?"

I took a deep breath before I answered him. "Do you remember the girl at my work today?"

"What girl?"

"She was standing next to me when you came to get me at the hospital."

By the look on his face, I could tell he was trying to think back and remember who I was talking about. "I don't remember any girl. Did I do something? Or say something that made you jealous? Because I swear I—"

I shook my head. "No, baby. It wasn't something you did. It was her." My eyes flicked up to his. "She saw you walking up and she kept talking about how hot you were and that she wanted you all for herself. I told her you were mine and she looked at me like me being with you was a shocker. Like you lost a bet or something."

Nathan put his fingers under my chin, guiding my eyes to meet his. "You know that's not true, gorgeous. You weren't a bet lost. You were like winning the goddamn lottery." His smile turned wicked and sexy. "I have to say though, this jealousy thing looks kinda hot on you."

I playfully pushed at his shoulder. "Nathan, it's not funny."

"Who's laughing? I'm dead serious." He leaned forward to brush his lips against mine. "The way you wanted me today, baby...I could tell you just had to have me. Right then and there. I feel the same way about you. And it was the best compliment you could have ever paid me."

Nathan kissed me deep, rolling me over as he hovered above me. I knew he was mine. All mine. And I was his. And we both proved that to each other multiple times over the next few hours.

I absolutely loved writing this chapter. I definitely felt like it was Karma's turn to get a little wild with her man 😉

Also, for those who already don't follow the soundtrack for this book on Spotify, be sure to check it out. I recently added the song that kind of inspired this chapter (The Boy Is Mine by Brandy & Monica).
