Hi, I'm Nick Miller. I like to write things.

My debut novel, Isn't It Pretty To Think So?, will be released in 2012.

You can pre-order a copy from Amazon now.

And then there was no stopping it. We were interlocked and kissing deeply and strongly, one pulling away for a breath and the other pulling back with an impassioned haste. We were fighting over each other’s faces, using our tongues as swords.

Her hands gripped my lower back tightly and I grabbed the back of her head with one hand and guided my other hand strongly down her back until I could feel the curves of her ass. I gripped her passionately and then moved my hand down her upper thigh and picked her leg up in the air, kissing her the whole time.

I could feel her breathing heavily as I pulled away from kissing her mouth so that I could kiss her neck and then her ears. I pulled back again and she unbuttoned my shirt and peeled it away as I slid her shirt off above her head.

Then we were on the bed moving heavily into each other. I kissed her mouth and then her chin. I kissed her neck and then her chest. I reached behind her back and undid her bra and ripped it away and kissed both of her breasts and then kissed her stomach. I ran my tongue just slightly under her jeans and then I unbuttoned them and her back arched and she breathed from some very internal place.

I slid her jeans off one leg at a time and then her panties both legs at once, and I touched her and licked her and sucked her in the way I knew how. I could feel myself wanting her more than ever.

And then it was happening. I was inside her and we were fully in it and we were drunk and not afraid or embarrassed to try new things. It had been so long and I couldn’t believe it was happening even though I knew it was happening. My mind could not catch up to my body and then I felt it coming and it was all over and we were laying side by side and panting tiredly. I don’t remember anything else.

A taxi came up the street, the waiter hanging out at the side. I tipped him and told the driver where to drive, and got in beside Brett. The driver started up the street. I settled back. Brett moved close to me. We sat close against each other. I put my arm around her and she rested against me comfortably. It was very hot and bright, and the houses looked sharply white. We turned out onto the Gran Via.

“Oh, Jake,” Brett said, “we could have had such a damned good time together.”

Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowed suddenly pressing Brett against me. 

“Yes,” I said. “Isn’t it pretty to think so?

One night I was sitting on the bed in my hotel room on Bunker Hill, down in the very middle of Los Angeles. It was an important night in my life, because I had to make a decision about the hotel. Either I paid up or I got out: that was what the note said, the note the landlady had put under my door. A great problem, deserving acute attention. I solved it by turning out the lights and going to bed.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
