Please let me know... ---------------------------------------------- Part 1 Natalie wondered absently as she lathered her hair in the shower just what Nick was planning. Usually if he invited her over he'd suggest it sometime during their shift and she would just go straight over to his place directly from work. Tonight, however, he had waited until Natalie was home before making the invite. Nat had seen Nick several times during the course of her shift, but if anything, he had seemed more distant than usual. So when Nat had played her answering machine after feeding and cuddling Sydney after arriving home, she was quite surprised to find Nick's request for her to come over. Nat gave her hair a final rinse to make sure there was no shampoo or conditioner left over, then turned the warm pulse of the Shower Massage (tm) off. She wrapped a big fluffy towel around her body, and grabbed a smaller one with which she absorbed most of the excess water from her hair before wrapping her hair up in it. Natalie stood idly before her closet pondering what she should wear. She had no idea what Nick had planned, so decided on something casual yet sexy. That decided, Nat pulled on a pair of black lacy cotton panties, then stepped into a pair of double-dyed black stretch denim jeans that hugged tightly to EVERY curve of her lower body, while still being remarkably comfortable. Nat decided against a bra, instead sliding a silk and lace camisole over her head, which she tucked tightly into her jeans. The camisole 'covered her dignity' as she recalled her mother's term and wondered what brought that to mind. It left nothing to the imagination, however, because of the see-through lace and clingy nature of the thin fabric. Over this Nat pulled an oversized red sweater with an oversized V-neck that HAD to be worn over something. Natalie put a minimum of make-up on, then brushed out her still damp hair. She pulled it back with a scrunchie into a ponytail, but the still damp mass was sticking to her neck uncomfortably. Nat worked the tail a little higher up her head, then twisted her hair around the first scrunchie and secured it with a second in what was sometimes called a lazy bun, at least unitl it had dried a little more thoroughly. Making sure Sydney had enough food and water for the day, just-in-case, Nat grabbed her keys and purse, then headed back out to her car. Nick was sitting at his piano when the lift engaged. He stopped his melancholy practicing, and was just covering the keys when Natalie stepped into the room. "Hi Nick. What's up?" Nick turned to see Natalie. His appreciative eyes darted quickly over her body before he made himself look back at her face. "Hey Nat!" Nick walked over, kissed her cheek and wrapped his arm around her. "You're freezing, Nat! No coat?" Natalie snuggled tighter against him as Nick steered them toward the sofa. "I knew it was chilly, but I thought the sweater would be warm enough, Nick." Nick tucked an afghan around Natalie. "Don't move, I'll just be a minute." Nick hurried to his kitchen. He might not eat human food any longer, but he still remembered with his vampire's memory all the skills he had learned while crossing Europe with the crusade. Granted, there had been some female followers and washer women along the way, but the leader of his group had been among those who made sure that these were mature women, in order to try and discourage improper relations on the part of his men. So like the other young men, Nick had learned from these older women the basics of mending and simple meal preparation, and had primarily looked after himself thereafter while they tended to teaching the same skills to the new boys that joined up along the route. Nick looked through Nat's leftovers in his fridge, and soon found things that would go fairly well in a basic soup. He found some beef broth mix in the cupboard, and soon had a simple soup simmering on the stove. A few minutes later, Nick returned with a bowl of soup and some toast for Natalie to warm herself with. Nick settled himself beside her, and used the remote to turn on the TV and VCR, and start the later playing. Nick had picked out a movie that he'd once seen on television and thought Nat would like. It was a romantic comedy-drama, where much of the comedy was in a comedy of errors sort of way. _Overdrawn_At_The_ Memory_Bank_ had Raul Julia in it, whom Nick knew Natalie believed to have been a great actor who never got the recognition in his brief life that he should have. And the movie was also dependent on another classic, _Casablanca_, which Nick also knew to be a favorite of Natalie's. Natalie decided during the course of the movie, which she loved as much as Nick hoped she would, that the movie had most likely been a made for TV project done on a shoestring budget. It had sometimes hokey special effects of the caliber of some of the classic British science-fiction television, but good acting and believably human characters kept it from being a B-movie. During the course of the movie, Nick went and refilled Natalie's soup, then returned to snuggle back up next to her. After the movie ended, Nick turned the TV off then after the tape had rewound, the VCR, and set the remote back on the coffee table. He and Nat sat cuddling it total silence for a long time, content to enjoy each other's company as the fireplace crackling made the only sounds in the loft. After some time had passed, Natalie shifted her position, inadvertently moving her forearm across Nick's lap in a manner that made both Nick and Natalie aware of Nick's aroused state. Nick undraped Natalie from him, and quickly stood up. "I think it's time I went to bed." Before Nat had a chance to say or do anything, she felt an all to quick chaste kiss on the cheek, and Nick was suddenly half way up the stairs. "You should be comfortable enough there. If not, or if you need anything, you know where everything is, help yourself. Goodnight, Nat." Nick quickly dissappeared into his own room and was gone, the door closed tightly behind him. Natalie stood and stretched, wondering if she should just go home. This would be yet another day alone and frustrated, with the cause of her condition either sleeping or sulking upstairs. Natalie sighed as she wandered over to the mirror. She looked at herself critically as she wondered yet again what she had done wrong or what phisical flaw had driven Nick off to sulk. "DAMN!" Natalie muttered as she climbed the stairs to use the bathroom. She knew full well that Nick was attracted to her. Hell, she'd bumped him in such a way as she had proof! So why did he get so scared and back off so fast, unless there was something wrong with her that made him NOT WANT to feel the attraction she had long hoped, and now knew, that he felt. Nat dug into the linen closet for a washcloth. Scrubbing away her make-up would also rinse away any tears before they fell and embarrassed her. Nat closed the door behind her as she entered the bathroom. Nick sat on his bed and listened to Natalie pace the floor below then climb the stairs. Hearing her begin to run water in the bathroom, he quickly slipped out of his clothing and underwear, and into a pair of black silk pajamas. Hearing the toilet flush, Nick climbed into his bed and pulled the bedding up snuggly around him. He lay absolutely still as he heard Nat exit the neighbouring room and stop outside his door. It broke Nick's heart to remain silent when he heard her softly whisper, asking if he was awake, then when she sniffled and whispered again, "G'night Nick. Sweet dreams." Part 2 Natalie lie down on the sofa, but just couldn't seem to get comfortable. After a few minutes that felt like an eternity had passed, Natalie decided there was no way that she could get to sleep with the bulky wool-blend sweater itching her. Figuring Nick to be soundly asleep in the vampire's sleep of the day, Natalie stood up and removed her sweater, folding it within reach on the coffee table. She then walked over to look at herself once more in the mirror. Natalie turned sideways and slowly ran her hands down her body, her hands passing slowly over her breasts and peaked nipples, then on down over her not-as-flat-as-she-wished abdomen. Natalie shook her head. "Fool!" She chastized herself under her breath, and walked back to the sofa. Nat sighed as she lay back down on the sofa, wiggling a little as she got as comfortable as possible on it. Nick lie perfectly still as he listened to Natalie moving around on the floor below. Using his vampire's enhanced senses, Nick listened as her movements stopped and her breath became more deep and rythmic, indicating to him that she had finally fallen asleep. Nick sighed, letting out a breath he hadn't been aware of holding. He soundlessly opened his bedroom a crack, and looked down at Natalie. She was now snoring softly, more quietly than what most humans would hear, and had the afghan tucked up snuggly under her chin. Nick smiled as he soundlessly closed the door and returned to bed. As he lie there, he couldn't help but think of the beauty downstairs who had so captivated him. As he thought about the warmth and love he felt from her, Nick's hand subconsciously migrated to his groin. He thought about Nat's attire this morning, wondering if she had any idea how sexy she was, or how much restraint it took to be around her. He doubted Natalie had any idea just how beautiful he found her. Nick began to allow himself to fantasize about her, his mind making the cause of his own arousal to be the ministrations of his beloved friend downstairs rather than his own hand. How long he had been playing out his fantasies alone, Nick was unsure. But he suddenly came fully awake and alert as he listened again for the sound that had roused him. There! It was definitely Natalie, and she sounded like she was moaning. She must be in pain! Nick stood, and realized he had somehow removed his pajamas. He quickly untangled them from the bedding and pulled them on, glad of the baggy style which at least helped a little to minimize the appearance of his condition. Nick hurried downstairs and knelt beside Natalie, reaching to stroke her face and trying hard to both ignore and discreetly take in the view since the afghan had been pushed down to Nat's waist, and Nat's tossing had caused one breast to be fully exposed while less than half of the other tried desperately to hide behind the see-through lace. Nick felt himself growing harder, but forced himself to ignore it. Natalie was in pain, he had to find out what was wrong! Nick pressed a hand to Natalie's face, brushing a stray lock of hair away, then felt her forehead and cheeks. She didn't feel feverish... Nick lingered with his hand on Nat's cheek, wondering if he should try and wake her, or just re-cover her and let her sleep. Before he could decide, however, he heard Natalie moan again, but this time it was clearly his name and the moan one of wantonness. Nick began to lean over to kiss Natalie's cheek, but Nat snaked her hand out and pulled his hand to her mouth, blushing in her sleep as she mumbled something that sounded to Nick like 'inexperienced blowjobs' and 'change that now!' Then she began to suck and lick Nick's index finger as if it were truly his organ, causing him to gasp in total surprise. Natalie pulled Nick's finger from her mouth, slowly, blowing on his fingertip as soon as it was freed, repeating the process several times. Nat was still asleep, but seemed to be aware of his presense, as if into her dream. "Oh, God, Nick! Do you have any idea how I really feel? Of the things I want to do to you? Have you do to me?" Nat's voice was more coherent now, clearer than just a few minutes before, although she was still asleep. Natalie still had a hold of Nick's hand, and slid it down to her exposed breast, where she began guiding his hand to massage and squeeze her breast then guided his fingers to her nipple. "Nat, wake up..." Nick spoke softly, not wanting to startle her. Nick tried to stand, but Nat kept a firm grasp on his hand, pulling it back to her which resulted in Nick bending over her. Natalie's other hand snaked out just as quickly as the first one had and wrapped around his waist, catching Nick off balance and tumbling him on top of herself. "Make love to me, Nick?" There was a quality to Natalie's voice that sounded both sad and plaintive, while the forcefulness of it made the question nothing short of a command. "I love you, Nick." Natalie pushed her surprised lover's hand down inside her jeans and panties, to where Nick could feel how slick Natalie's core was. She urged his fingers to explore her, and moaning Nick's name once more, arched up against him and his hand as she slid her panties and jeans down towards her knees. She reached out for Nick's pajama's and gave them a tug, also pulling them low. "Make love to me Nick." This time her voice sounded confident, nothing like the request of last time, except for the urgency in her desire. Her hands began to explore every inch of Nick's flesh, exploring what was new territory to her. "I love you." Perhaps it was her profession of love, or his already more than willing body betraying what Nick believed to be his better judgement, but could not refuse her. Tears welled up in his eyes as he blinked them back. "I love you too, Nat." He leaned forward to capture her mouth with his, and it gave willing access to his exploring tongue. After a few minutes of passionate necking, Nick pulled away and stood quickly. Natalie whimpered, "Stay Nick, please?" as she reached out a hand for her lover. Nick quickly stepped out of his pajamas and guided Nat to stand beside him, quickly and deftly divesting her of her clothing as well. He scooped her into his arms. "It's more comfortable up here, Nat." He whispered as Nick hurried to his bedroom with his precious burden. Natalie had wakened when Nick pulled her to her feet, but realized Nick believed her 1/2 asleep at least. Natalie recalled her erotic dreams, and knew that at some point he had joined her, and that they were obviously not all dreams. Believing Nick would back off again if he realized that she was awake, Natalie continued to act as she had been, and kissed him as he carried her up to his room, holding on to him as he settled her between the black satin sheets, and slid in next to her. "Mmmmmm," Natalie purred at the slick feel of the satin bedding sliding against her naked body, and snuggling up against the cool flesh of the vampire next to her. Natalie pulled against her lover and rolled onto her side next to him. "I love you," she whispered as her hand glided down his chest, brushing across a taut nipple, and on down his abdomen, and lower still until it came to rest on Nick's stiff member. Natalie began to caress his hard shaft. As Nick's mouth captured her's, Nat then began to gently squeeze and roll his balls with a constant but gentle pressure that brough Nick close to needing his own release. Nick rolled Natalie onto her back and himself atop her. As Nick slid within her tight but welcoming core, Nat let out a small gasp. It had been a long time since she had been intimate with anyone, and her body was protesting the welcomed shock. Once Natalie had relaxed again, she began to match her lover's thrusts. Nat trailed her fingertips down Nick's back and sides in a feather-light caress that sent little shivers of ecstasy coursing his body. Natalie looked up at Nick with a loving expression, slowly opening her eyes. "What a way to wake up, Nick. I could get used to this." Nick's eyes widened as he realized his lover was now fully awake, but before he figured out how to react, Natalie spoke again. "I love you, Nick. I hope now we'll do this more often." She planted a kiss on him, then shifted her position, sliding her legs up to just below his arms. "Let me bring my legs up." Nick, surprised by Nat's flexibility, shifted and allowed first one leg and then the other to pass. Suddenly Nat had her legs around his neck, shortening her canal so that he was now bottoming out on each thrust instead of just some of them. Both of their breaths were coming in ragged gasps as Nick tried to pull away. "I can't, Nat. Not without the blood. I'm sorry." Natalie kept a firm grip around Nick as she answered him. "Take some, Nick. Just enough. Love and faith are the answer. With them you and I will both survive to enjoy each other again." She looked up then grinned impishly at Nick as she licked his ear. "And again." Natalie traced contours around his nose with her tongue. "And again." Next she traced his mouth. "And again." Then she chuckled slightly as Nick brought his hand up to wipe his face. As he did, Nick smiled, an amused expression on his face. "You know, you tighten up when you laugh like that. It's nice." Nick began to nuzzle Nat's neck. "Are you sure? There's a chance..." Natalie silenced Nick with her hand. "I know. And I could get hit by a car while crossing the street. It's a chance I'll take." Natalie began work on a hickey on Nick's neck, and pressed his head tightly to her own neck. It was only a minute or twuntil Nick was fully on the brink. He reached between them, and stroked Natalie's clit while still pumping her, until he felt her reach her release. As her orgasm washed through her, Nick sunk his fangs into her neck, her blood bringing him his own long needed release, and his seed pulsing into her as he crashed over that edge. Nick saw hundreds of images and scenes from Nat's life in her blood, as well as feeling the extent of her emotions, and realized that she wanted to be with him forever, in whatever form that took. Nick reluctantly pulled away from Nat's neck, and looked down into Natalie's beautiful wide eyes. "I'm still here, Nick. We did it!" Natalie pulled Nick to rest on top of her as she dropped her legs back to a more comfortable position, and held him tightly. "I really do love you, you know." Nick watched as she closed her eyes. Then he slowlly rolled off of her, and pulled Natalie into a tight embrace. "I know, Nat. And I love you too." Then he closed his eyes and soon fell asleep for the day, dreaming of more days spent like this with his beloved Natalie. Neither of them planning ahead on how to explain their dual hickies to their co-workers that night. (Note- I believe Nick would heal from THIS hickey before their shifts, but I rather doubt Nat wouldn't replace it with a new one when they wake up!) ================== Comments may be sent to MICKI at or click on the link on my page.
