Chapter Six
Natural Disaster

The next morning, I awoke feeling refreshed and immensely satisfied. Nate's arm was around my waist and I was pressed against his naked, muscular body.

I rolled over to face him and began kissing his soft lips. I felt him smile and returned my kisses with a passionate one of his own. I nibbled his bottom lip and he let out a little growl. His left hand rested on my hip with the other one crept ever so slowly up my stomach and cupped my breast.

Nate broke our kiss and used his lips to find a spot behind my left ear. He began sucking on it and I let out a small moan.

"Last night was amazing," Nate smiled.

"If I recall correctly," I murmured. "It was amazing about four times."

Nate's hands began to explore my body as our lips moved together once more. He forced his tongue into my mouth which I met with my own. Our tongues pressed against each other in the most passionate kiss I had ever received. My breath caught in my throat as Nate's hands caressed my inner thighs. I felt his hands part my legs carefully, and he rolled over on top of me.

I gasped as I felt an enormous pressure inside me, and I pulled Nate close to me, pushing him further inside me as I did.

We lay there for a moment, holding each other, before Nate sat up, sitting me on him, and I wrapped my legs around him, so that I was straddling him. I slowly rose and fell, as he moved in and out of me.

We continued this position until my legs began to shake, as I could no longer push myself up, and Nate took the incentive to lay on top of me, expertly moving in and out. As he did, he began to rub his thumb against my clitoris, and I cried out, which only caused him to push harder.

I arched my back, driving Nate deeper inside me, and I shuddered as a wave of ecstasy washed over me.

Nate continued to drive himself in me, causing me not only pleasure, but pain as well. "Nate," I breathed, as I he penetrated me even harder then before, and I knew that this was soon over.

I dug my nails into Nate's back and he screamed as they punctured his flesh. I rolled over on top of him, straddling him, and began moving up and down, fiercely. He let out a moan as he ejaculated inside of me.

We stayed there motionless, my hands on his chest, his on my hips.

"I love you," I whispered, resting my head on his chest.

"I love you too," he murmured.

"So, what's the plan for today?" I asked, wrapping my arms around Nate's shoulders and kissing his cheek.

"I actually have to work," Nate stated, regretfully.

"Oh okay," I replied, "I'm sure I can find something to do."

"Or," he smiled, "maybe I can call Kate and get you Maddie for the day."

"Really?" I smirked, "Nate, I love that little girl."

"I know," Nate laughed.

"Nate! We're home!" I called, balancing Maddie on my hip, and walking into the kitchen.

"There are my girls," Nate smiled, greeting his daughter and Taylor. "Did you have a good day?"

"Yeah," I grinned. "I think we did. And I have a proposition for you."

"Oh really?" Nate asked.

I nodded and smiled, "Well see, Maddie and I were walking down the street, and I was thinking about how I was leaving tomorrow, and then it hit me, why do I have to leave?"

"Taylor-" Nate warned.

"Nate," I said. "I want to stay. I want to stay here with you."

"I can't ask you to do that, Taylor. What about university? What about Brown?"

"You're not asking, I am," I replied, "And there's a college here in Savannah. I can apply for the spring semester. Please, Nate. Just think about it."

"Okay," he promised. "I'll think about it."

"Great," I smiled, giving him a small kiss. "So what's for supper?"

"In honour of, well, you," Nate laughed. "I have prepared a very special meal."

"Oh, do tell," I smiled.

"I made your favourite. Fettuccini Alfredo."

"You spoil me," I stated.

"Guilty as charged," he responded, wrapping an arm around my waist. "Now, come on, before it gets cold."

"That really was amazing," I said, walking out in the back yard, where Nate was lying in a hammock he had strung between two trees.

"Thank you," he smiled, taking my hand and pulling me onto the hammock.

I nestled my head in his chest, and replied, "I missed you."

"I missed you too," he sighed. "And I am so glad that you're here, Tay." Nate kissed my hair gently and I inhaled his scent of Axe and clean clothes.

My eyelids began to feel heavy and I cuddled into Nate's side as sleep overtook me.

I awoke on the hammock, a few hours later, alone. The sky was dark, and the moon hung in a cloudless sky, surrounded by millions of twinkling stars.

Wrapping my arms around my chilly body, I walked into the house and called, "Nate?" Receiving no answer in return.

I searched every inch of the house and came up empty handed, until I walked into Nate's room and saw him there, staring out his huge bay window.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked.

He was quiet for a moment, then turned to me and half-smiled, "did you know you talk in your sleep?"

"Yeah," I smiled, sheepishly. "I do that sometimes."

He gave me that same half-smile, and looked out the window again. "You know, I've been sitting here for the past two hours thinking . . ." He turned to me again, this time no trace of any smile on his face. "You got to go home Taylor."

"What?" I asked, taken aback. "Nate, where is this coming from?"

"You talk in your sleep, Tay," he replied, a pained look coming across his face.

"So, what?" I cried. "So, I mumble a few words in my sleep. Did I say something? Was it really that bad?"

"You-" he choked, then took a deep breath. "You said, I love you."

I raised an eyebrow and let out a little laugh. "That's it? God, Nate, normally that's a good thing."

I placed a hand on his shoulder, which he shook off. "You said, I love you, Emmett."

A/N: The suckiness will end in the next chapter, which I will post right after this one. Sorry again.
