Chapter Fourteen
Lucas couldn't move. He felt like he was paralysed by the shock that was running through his whole body. What the fuck had Nathan just said? Moving in? What? He had to be joking. But as he watched Nathan walk up the stairs with his suitcase in his hands, he realised that his brother had in fact been serious. He really was moving into the apartment. Hell no! The reality of his brother's words suddenly hit him and he knew that he needed to do something to stop this insane idea of his. So he decided to run up the stairs after him, nearly tripping over his feet as he climbed up behind his brother, all the while thinking to himself that this just couldn't be happening. Especially as now Haley was going to find out that Nathan owned the apartment. She was probably going to get really angry at the fact that he hadn't told her the truth about who owned the place, and not want to live with her boss, which would mean that she would move out and he knew that it was unlikely that she would be able to afford anything remotely close to work on her salary. That would then mean that she was going to have to move further away from the office again, get sick of the commute and then he would lose a fucking excellent secretary. He was absolutely reeling at Nathan, he was going to have to give Haley a motherfucking huge raise just so he wouldn't lose her, not that she didn't deserve it anyway, she was outstanding at her job, but he was literally going to have to double her salary just so that she could afford to live somewhere half decent in Manhattan. But then he quickly remembered that he couldn't just raise her salary because all the secretaries in the company were paid the same fucking amount. He was going to have to promote her... that's what he was going to have to do. But first he had to deal with his motherfucking brother.
Nathan reached the top of the stairs and headed down the corridor to his bedroom, fully aware that Lucas was hot on his heels, but he really didn't care at all about what Lucas had to say. He was far too busy trying to analyse Haley's reaction to finding him arriving back at the apartment and announcing that he was moving in with her. To say that she was pissed off at him was probably the biggest understatement of the century, her face had been full of complete and utter fury at him, and although that didn't fit in entirely with his plan, it wasn't like her reaction wasn't to be expected. He was just going to have to work extra hard, but that didn't matter, he knew he was more than capable of making Haley want him, or at least he hoped that he was. He tossed his suitcase up onto his bed once he had walked inside of his room and opened it up just as Lucas slammed the door to his bedroom and walked inside of the room.
Lucas watched in absolute horror as Nathan started to unpack his suitcase, placing his clothes in the wardrobe, making him one hundred percent certain that his brother had not been joking about moving in, despite part of him still refusing to believe that this was actually happening. He had to do something to stop him, or at least he had to understand what the fuck had possessed him to do something this fucking stupid. "Nathan." He hissed at his brother.
Nathan rolled his eyes at Lucas, wishing that he wasn't such a fucking drama queen all of the time. So he was moving in? As far as Luke knew, he was only Haley's boss, what the fuck was the big deal with that? If he didn't want this situation to occur then he shouldn't have offered the apartment to Haley in the first place, even though he was extremely thankful that he had, obviously. He didn't turn around to face him, nor did he mumble anything back to him in response because he couldn't be bothered to deal with his brother's hissy fit. He just continued to unpack his suitcase, moving himself into his apartment which he now shared with Haley. He couldn't help smiling at that thought, even though she wasn't living with him willingly, she was living with him nonetheless, it was something, and right now, he would take all that he could get from her, especially when she was demanding a fucking month apart from him.
Lucas' eyes followed Nathan around the room. He just couldn't believe what he was seeing. He honestly just wanted to be woken up from this nightmare, he was sure that it couldn't be real. He couldn't take it anymore; he had to know what kind of idiotic thoughts were running through Nathan's head right now. "Nathan what... what the fuck do you think you're playing at?" He whispered angrily.
Nathan continued placing his suits in the wardrobe. "I'm not playing at anything." As far as you know. He added silently to himself."I'm just moving back into the apartment." He answered his brother casually.
"What the fuck do you mean, 'moving back in'?" Lucas asked, outraged by his brother's ridiculous response to his question, there was something that he wasn't telling him, he was sure of it. "You only ever used this place as a fucking sex pad; you've never fucking lived here permanently."
"Well I'm moving in permanently now." Nathan responded as he started to pull his shirts out of the suitcase and hang them up inside the wardrobe.
Lucas stuttered over his words, still trying to understand why the hell Nathan was doing this, wondering what the hell his motivations behind his actions were. "Why the hell are you moving in now?" He asked.
Nathan sighed; all he really wanted was for Lucas and Carly to leave him and Haley alone so that he could start putting his plan into action. Lucas and Carly being in the apartment was costing him time, time that he really didn't want to waste. "Because I am sick of hotel rooms Lucas and my house out of the city is too far away from the business." He answered, coming up with what he thought was a pretty decent reason for wanting to be at the apartment.
"That never fucking bothered you before Nathan. I mean we had a fucking deal." Lucas all but shouted at him, mindful of the volume of his voice, for he didn't want Haley to hear what was being said between them.
Nathan turned around and faced Lucas. "You're damn right we had a fucking deal. I asked you to tell her about me owning this place fucking ages ago, so don't you start getting pissed off at me because you didn't have the balls to tell her yourself Lucas." He snapped at his brother, exasperated with all the effort this was taking. All he wanted was for him to fucking leave him and Haley alone. He really didn't need Luke digging into him right now; he had enough on his fucking mind as it was without adding Lucas' petty problem with him living in his own God damned apartment to his growing list of issues to deal with. Haley's fucking break was too much for him to deal with, let alone all this shit that was coming from Lucas.
Lucas sighed in frustration. He knew that Nathan was right but that didn't stop him from being furious with him. "I swear to God if Haley fucking quits because of this I will be so fucking angry Nathan." He said seriously. "And if you fuck this up..." He sighed again. "Does she even know who you are?"
Nathan had heard enough, he unbuttoned the shirt he still had on from when he stormed out of the apartment earlier and threw it on the floor before walking towards the door of his bedroom. "She won't fucking quit Luke, so just shut the fuck up. I'll go down and introduce myself now alright? Will that make you happy and shut you up?" He shouted as he walked along the corridor and headed back down the stairs.
~*~
Haley had since walked back into the kitchen and was now leaning against the counter top, wondering what the fuck she had done to deserve all of this. Well the answer to that was probably obvious, cheating on your fiancé wasn't the most saintly of actions, but Jesus Christ, why the hell was Nathan doing this? Why the hell couldn't he just do as she asked? One month. It was just a fucking month. She let out a long sigh as she heard Carly walk in behind her.
"Well this is going to be interesting!" Carly said with a huge grin plastered over her face as she followed Haley into the kitchen. She honestly never thought that Nathan would come up with anything as inventive as this, she was rather proud of him actually and it was certainly going to add some drama to his and Haley's situation, and hopefully sort it out properly too.
"Tell me about it." Haley muttered to herself. She shook her head as she mulled over what she could do to fix this. Moving out was the most obvious option, but she knew that she would never be able to afford anything as nice as this, in fact, there was probably nothing that she could afford in Manhattan on her salary, so then she was back to facing that God awful commute again as she would have to move off the island, which she really couldn't handle having to do every day again, and besides, she liked living here...
"Haley, can I give you some advice?" Carly asked tentatively, unsure of whether she was overstepping the mark here or not.
Haley looked over at Carly from where she was standing and nodded her head. Obviously Nathan had explained the situation to Carly when she had talked to him earlier, but still, neither Carly nor Nathan knew the full extent of the mess that was her and Nathan's relationship. She knew that she probably wouldn't like what Carly had to say, given that she was Nathan's friend and all, but she wanted to hear what she thought about this big mess anyway, another opinion from someone not involved may bring some sense to all the shit that was going on.
"Please just tell me to fuck off if I'm overstepping any sort of boundaries." Carly said with a wave of her hand and then took a deep breath as she became more serious. "But, I have known Nathan since college, and I can honestly say that I have never seen him act like this, I've never seen him care about someone as much as he cares about you. He loves you Haley, and I just really hope that you don't break his heart."
Haley looked down at the floor and folded her arms across her chest protectively. "Carly, I love him too, and trust me; I have no intention of breaking his heart. I want to be with him, I just think that I need to make a clean break with… my boyfriend before we commit to each other properly." Haley responded, speaking the truth. That was all she wanted, that and for Nathan to understand and be respectful of why she was doing this, however, judging by what he had just done, the chances of that happening seemed pretty remote right now.
"And I agree with that Haley, but I'm going to warn you, Nathan really doesn't like the idea of being apart from you for that long. He thinks that something will change in the time that you aren't together, and I hope to God that it doesn't because I can see how much he loves you. I know you probably think that this is the right thing to do for not just yourself but for him also, but just please try to bear in mind his feelings in all this too." Carly said softly, promptly shutting herself up as she heard someone walk down the stairs.
Haley straightened her position on the counter as she heard two pairs of feet stomp down the stairs, but quickly decided that it would be much better if she busied herself with something, so she walked over to the fridge, dug out some ham and found some bread, deciding that making a sandwich would help keep her suitably occupied while Nathan, Lucas and Carly were all there with her. She really needed to get her head around this latest development, especially as she had absolutely no idea how she was going to survive living in the same apartment as Nathan, how was she going to be able to resist him? However, she was soon interrupted from her sandwich making by Nathan clearing his throat from behind her. She couldn't help the glare that she sent his way when she turned around to face him, especially when she realised that he was shirtless. Shirtless. For crying out loud! God he really was just fucking torturing her wasn't he? Flaunting that perfect body right in her face. She tried to look away from him but her eyes didn't want to cooperate, they seemed to be glued to his body. She really was trying to think about how he was feeling, but when he was doing completely irrational things like this, well it was hard for her not to completely freak out at him. But she needed to remain calm, especially as Lucas had no idea what was going on between them. She managed to pry her eyes away from his chest and looked down at the outstretched hand he had thrust towards her, a smug grin evident on his face when she looked back up at him to question what the hell he was playing at. She wanted more than anything to wipe that smile right off him; he knew exactly what he was doing to her.
Nathan raised his eyebrow at Haley, knowing that she wasn't about to go crazy on him, not when Lucas was here anyway, so he could get away with it all for the moment at least. He smiled at her as he saw her eyes roam over his naked chest, pleased as punch that she was looking at him like that, and then he stretched his arm out to her. "Haley is it?" He asked, the grin still spread right across his face. "I'm Nathan, Luke's brother; I own this apartment, as well as the company you work for. You haven't got a problem with me living here for a while have you?"
Lucas wanted to gag him. What the fuck kind of an introduction was that? He looked on at Haley, completely horrified at what he was witnessing, seeing her face getting more and more angry with each word that came out of his dick of a brother's mouth. God he really didn't want her to quit. If she quit on him, Nathan would be a dead man.
Haley could feel her cheeks turning red with the absolute rage that was running through her entire body. Yes she had a fucking problem with him living here for a while. She knew exactly what he was doing, introducing himself to her in front of Lucas just so that she couldn't start screaming and yelling at him, not if she didn't want Lucas to find out about them, so she was stuck and the only option available to her was to agree with this absolute lunacy. So she sucked in a sharp breath and shook his hand. "Yes, it's Haley, and no I don't have a problem with you living here." She squeezed his hand as hard as she could as she shook his, making sure that she dug her nails into his hand, letting him know that he was going to get an earful once they were alone.
Fuck! Her nails fucking hurt. But Nathan grinned back at her even wider than he had been doing, knowing that he was really riling her up. He looked deeply into her eyes. You know how to end all this Haley. He silently spoke to her in his head. All it took was one fucking phone call to end it with the boyfriend and then all this shit would be over. He released his grip on her hand before his hand started bleeding and turned to face Lucas who looked like he wanted to kill him just as much as Haley did. "See I told you there was nothing to worry about Luke. She has no problem with me living here; you haven't lost your secretary, everyone's happy." He said as he snatched some of the ham that Haley had been using to make her sandwich and pushed it into his mouth, quickly moving himself away from that knife that she was holding, as she looked like she wanted to twist it right into his body, and that shit would hurt much more than her damn nails had.
Lucas had heard enough. If he stayed here any longer, someone was going to get killed. He wasn't sure who was going to die, he could narrow it down to himself or Nathan, but he wasn't sure if it was going to be Haley killing him, or him killing Nathan. Therefore, given that he seemed to play some form of a part in either of those occurrences, he decided to remove himself from the scene of the potential crime. He still couldn't believe what Nathan had done but Haley had seemed rather accepting of it all, which surprised him. But then again, maybe she was waiting until they were alone to start telling him how she really felt about it all, so he really wasn't looking forward to Monday morning, if she was coming into the office at all. "Right, I'm going to head home then." He said quickly, wanting to get out of the apartment as fast as possible. "Haley, I'll see you on Monday?" He asked her, wanting to confirm that she hadn't in fact quit on him.
Haley was still glaring at Nathan. She didn't take her eyes off him as she spoke to Lucas. "Yes, I'll see you on Monday." She answered him through gritted teeth.
Relieved with her answer, Lucas quickly walked out of the kitchen and let himself out of the apartment, pleased that he had managed to get out of there alive and also without committing the murder of his asshole of a brother.
Carly, who had been watching the events unfold with much interest, couldn't help but laugh at the way things had turned out, and she also couldn't believe that Lucas hadn't guessed what was really going on here, he really was dense. She could see that Haley had some words that she wanted to say to Nathan, and it was probably best if she left them to it, however much as she wanted to stay and listen to what was about to be said. "Guys, I'm going to hit the shops and leave you to talk, and then I might see if some friends are free for dinner, so don't wait up for me." Carly stated as she bounced her way out of the kitchen, leaving Haley and Nathan to deal with whatever they needed to deal with, which seemed like a whole heap of shit.
Haley turned around once she and Nathan were alone in the kitchen and carried on making her sandwich, needing something mundane to keep her mind occupied and away from thoughts of stabbing Nathan with the fucking bread knife. She really couldn't understand why he had decided to do this, she didn't understand what he thought he was going to accomplish by being here, if anything, he was going to make things worse between them, she was sure of it.
Nathan couldn't help the chuckle that escaped from his lips as he leaned against the counter opposite from where Haley stood with her back to him as she continued to make her sandwich. He crossed his legs and folded his arms around his chest, shaking his head at how wonderful his plan was. Why he hadn't thought about this earlier, he had no clue, well he did really, it was because he didn't know that Haley was living in his place, but he should have found out about that much sooner, he was kicking himself for missing out on getting this over and done with a lot sooner, especially when he realised that he and Haley could have been together properly for a while now if all this shit had been dealt with sooner.
Haley grit her teeth together harder as she heard him laugh behind her, she could feel her hands begin to shake with rage. How he could think this was funny was just beyond her. She finally had enough when she heard him sigh and start laughing all over again. She turned around and pointed the bread knife at him. "You think this is fucking funny Nathan?" She roared at him.
Nathan rolled his eyes at her dramatic reaction but couldn't stop laughing at her. He unfolded his arms and leaned them on the counter behind him. "I actually think it's hilarious really. I should have come around here much sooner than I did, then maybe all this shit wouldn't be so fucked up." He returned to her, unable to stop laughing.
Haley was trying to remain angry at him but she couldn't stop her eyes from roaming around his perfect chest again. God he had such a fucking fantastic body. But she quickly shook her thoughts out of her head, mentally kicking herself for letting them run straight to the gutter just because he wasn't wearing a shirt and resumed her rant at him. "This is not funny Nathan, what the hell were you thinking?" She shouted at him.
Nathan shrugged his shoulders; he was too pleased with himself to argue with her. This was working like a fucking treat. He brought his hand up to rest on his chin and smirked at her as he saw her eyes wander all over his body again. He knew exactly what she was thinking about right now, and his plan was working absolutely perfectly so far.
Haley found herself mesmerised by the muscles in his arm as he raised it to rest on his face. How the hell did he get them all so big and so perfect? She wanted to run her hands along them, feel his powerful body underneath her touch. But then she realised what she was doing again and turned away from him quickly, biting down on her lip. Out of sight out of mind was what she was going with as she continued to make her sandwich. But now that she had seen his perfect body, she couldn't stop the thoughts of moving her hands all over his body from running through her head; she could practically feel her fingers tracing all of his magnificent muscles. Fuck. She couldn't take being around him for a second longer. She slammed the knife down on the counter and practically ran out of the kitchen, not before turning around to face him once more. "Will you put a fucking shirt on at least?" She snapped at him as she then turned around again, ran up the stairs and slammed the door to her room shut behind her.
Nathan continued to chuckle to himself as he walked over to the fridge, pulled out a beer and headed into the lounge, taking Haley's ham sandwich with him. He flopped down on the sofa as he took a sip of the beer and rested one of his arms behind his head. "I'm a fucking genius." He muttered happily to himself as he dug into the food she had left behind.
~*~
Nathan glanced at the clock and realised that it was now eight o'clock in the evening, and he hadn't heard a peep out of Haley since she had told him to put a shirt on and ran up to her bedroom earlier. He sighed as he pulled himself up off the sofa and headed into the kitchen. He figured that Haley must be starving by now, especially as she hadn't eaten that sandwich that she had started to make earlier on. He looked in the fridge and saw that there was enough food in there for him to make a meal for them both, so he started cooking, hoping that she would come out and eat something soon, he was starting to worry about her.
Haley was starving. Her stomach wouldn't shut up and she was cursing herself for not taking that sandwich with her when she had run away from Nathan earlier. She was lying down on her bed, willing herself to remain strong and not want food, but she knew that it was useless, and she couldn't hide up here forever anyway, she was going to have to face him sometime. She decided to give herself a little more time though, not wanting to face him just yet, but her stomach instantly protested by growling loudly at her. She sighed in frustration at herself as she got up from the bed and tentatively walked to her door. She hoped that Nathan had got bored and gone out somewhere so that she could eat something in peace, well, without him distracting her at least. She started to walk down the stairs and was shocked when she walked into the kitchen, finding Nathan standing by the stove mixing what looked like pasta in a saucepan. God he even managed to make stirring look sexy.
Nathan heard Haley walk in the kitchen and turned to look at her, making sure that his hand kept stirring the pasta with the wooden spoon. He smiled at her as she walked in, and was rewarded with a small smile from her too, which pleased him immensely, maybe she had calmed down a little from earlier on. He hoped so. "Hey. I was just about to come and get you. I made some pasta; I figured you might be hungry." He said to her as he watched her take a seat at the island in the middle of the kitchen.
"You didn't have to make me food Nathan." Haley responded quietly as she folded one of her legs over the other and watched him stir the pasta. She was so glad that he had made dinner, her stomach was rumbling like crazy. He still wasn't wearing a shirt though, which pissed her off a little, but she was surprised by his efforts in cooking her dinner so she decided to let it slide.
Nathan shrugged. "It's no big deal." He said as he took a deep breath as he watched her watching him. She really was just stunning. He could look at her all day and never get bored of her. But he wanted her to eat something so he tore his eyes away from her and looked back at the pasta, seeing that it was nearly ready, so he grabbed two wine glasses and a bottle of wine out of the fridge and poured the wine into the glasses, handing one to Haley and keeping one for himself.
"Thank you." Haley said quietly as she took a sip of the cool wine, which was helping to calm down her tinted cheeks slightly. She still couldn't get over how perfect he was, even though she had seen his chest plenty of times, it didn't stop her from wanting him.
"No problem." Nathan smiled at her as he turned the heat on the stove off and grabbed two plates, serving the pasta onto them and then joining Haley at the island, placing her plate in front of her and handing her a fork and a spoon as he sat down.
Haley looked down at the pasta and licked her lips; it looked and smelled absolutely delicious. She looked up at Nathan who appeared to just be watching her and she blushed under his intense gaze. She took the fork and spoon in her hands and dug into the food, her stomach was just about ready to shrivel up if it didn't get some food in it right this minute. She couldn't help the moan that came from her lips as she tasted his amazing creation. She had no idea that he could cook like this.
God that noise she had just made had shot straight to his cock. He closed his eyes for a brief second, clearing his mind of thought of just taking her right then and there and then opened them again, watching in satisfaction as Haley raced through the food like it was going to run off the plate if she didn't eat it quick enough. He smiled to himself as he started to eat his own plate of food at a much slower pace than Haley.
In record speed Haley had finished her dinner. She sat quietly and watched Nathan eat his food. She watched, completely mesmerised as his mouth closed around the fork, and almost lost it when his tongue would lick his lips, capturing the sauce that lingered there. She wanted to just bend over and lick it off his lips herself, but she knew she couldn't do that. She had said that she wanted a month break from their relationship, and licking food off his face would just get things all kinds of confused, mix signals was not what she wanted to be sending his way right now. So instead she occupied herself with sipping her wine, trying her best not to watch him eat, it was too much of a turn on and would only lead to very bad things happening. Bad things that she wanted to happen… Fuck! Why did he have this affect on her?
Nathan soon finished his food as well, and then cleared the plates away, placing them in the dishwasher. He could have sworn that he heard Haley moan to herself when he leant down to place them inside the machine, and he couldn't help the smirk appearing on his face yet again when he heard that noise come from her. He made his way back to the table and noticed that Haley's wine glass was almost empty, so he refilled hers as well as his own, before sitting himself back down next to her, turning to face her as he did so. "So did you enjoy that?" He asked, wanting to strike up some conversation with her.
Haley smiled over at him. "Yes, I had no idea you could cook like that Nathan, it was delicious." Haley answered him, before tearing her eyes away from him again before they managed to drop down to his chest, taking another sip of her wine and then placing it back on the counter top. She noticed that Nathan had just taken a sip of his wine and placed his glass back on the counter too, and her eyes moved over to his hands, which were wrapped around the wine glass. She couldn't stop staring at his fingers as he moved them slowly up to the top of the wine glass, and then started to circle them around the rim of the glass. She closed her eyes and all she could think about was the way his fingers expertly moved around her clit, teasing her, taunting her, leaving her begging for more. She could practically feel his fingers move down her wet folds and slowly enter her, imaging that he curled his fingers at the ends like he always did, making sure that he always hit her right where she wanted him. Fuck. She thought to herself. All he was doing was drinking wine and she was getting soaking fucking wet. She was so fucking screwed. She squeezed her legs together, trying to create some friction, but it was no use. So instead she gulped down the rest of her wine before excusing herself from the table and running up the stairs again.
Nathan laughed when Haley ran away from him again. It was all too easy. A couple more days of this and there would be no way that she would be able to resist him, which in turn would lead to her breaking up with the asshole boyfriend much sooner. For Nathan, that day couldn't come quick enough, he had to have her, and soon, it was killing him being this close to her and not being able to touch her, or kiss her. But he was trying to do as Carly had said to him earlier in Starbucks, he was trying to compromise with Haley, and this was the best that he could give her. If he couldn't touch her, well then he had to at least see her. He sighed as he gulped down the rest of the wine that was remaining in his glass and then headed on up the stairs, wanting to sleep as quickly as possible so that tomorrow would get here faster. Hopefully Haley would begin to crack even more.
Haley lay on her bed with her phone in her hands, scrolling frantically to Tom's number. She had to arrange a time to talk with him, she needed to end things with him quickly, for she knew that if Nathan kept up whatever game he was playing, well she'd be surprised if she would last another hour in his presence, and she didn't want to cave under the pressure, she just wanted things to be right between her and Nathan, and that couldn't happen until she had spoken to Tom and ended things. Once she reached his number, she hit the call button and waited for him to answer as she tapped her hand against her leg, begging for him to pick up.
Fucking voicemail. She sighed as she left a message, asking him to call her back when he got the message, and stated that it was very important that he called her back quickly, for she had some things she needed to discuss with him. That was a slight understatement to say the least. She was a little pissed off that he wasn't answering, as that only meant that she would have to wait even longer to put her guilty conscience to rest. She stripped her clothes off her body and got into bed, keeping her phone by her ear just in case he called her back, she really needed to talk to him, she was going to go crazy if he didn't call her back soon, Nathan was just too damn good at this game for her to even think of joining in with him.
~*~
Haley woke up the following morning and instantly checked her phone to see if she had any missed calls, but no such luck. She sighed as she got up and headed straight to the bathroom, pulling on her silk bathrobe and tying her hair up in a messy bun. She walked out of the room and headed downstairs, hearing Nathan and Carly talking in the kitchen. She prayed to God that he had put a damn shirt on this morning, as she really didn't think that she could control herself if she saw a half naked Nathan first thing in the morning. She continued walking down the stairs and then headed into the kitchen, finding herself completely mortified that Nathan was dressed in nothing but a pair of boxers. She groaned as she flopped into one of the stools at the island and grabbed the Lucky Charms from Carly, pouring them in the bowl, and then started to pick out all the marshmallows, leaving the box strategically placed in front of her face so that she wouldn't stare at Nathan's body the whole time. It was just embarrassing how much she wanted him; really, there was no other way to describe how pathetic she was being, especially as now that she had told herself that she couldn't have him, it only seemed to make her want him that much more. All she wanted to do was rip those boxers off his body, wrap her legs around his waist and beg for him to take her, even with Carly in the room, she didn't care, she wanted him that fucking badly, the whole world could watch if they fucking wanted to.
Nathan smirked as he looked over and saw that Haley was hiding behind the box of cereal. He caught Carly's eye and saw that she was also laughing at Haley. He decided to start talking to her anyway, despite how obvious it was that she just wanted to hide from him. "Sleep well Haley?" He asked her with a smug smile on his face.
"Fine." Haley answered as she continued to pick out all of the marshmallows from her bowl, refusing to meet his eyes, for who knows what the hell she would do if she did; either that or what fantasy would run through her mind if she looked at his body again. God, why was she acting like a teenager again? She realised that she needed to get away from him, so she hastily picked out ten or so marshmallows and then mumbled something about needing to go shopping and then headed back up the stairs.
Carly watched in amusement as Haley ran away and then she turned to face Nathan. "Nice work Nate." She said with a smile.
"Thank you Carly." Nathan responded as he picked out some of Haley's leftover cereal from her bowl and placed it in his mouth, munching happily on it as he mulled over how well the plan was working, surely it wouldn't be long now…
~*~
The following day at work was just a complete write off for Haley. Luckily, Lucas was avoiding her like the plague; no doubt he was worried about what she would say to him over the whole apartment situation and him lying to her about who owned it. So that meant that her unproductiveness was going unnoticed by her boss, which was a good thing to say the least because she had literally done nothing all day. But the truth was, she really couldn't bring herself to care about the fact that Lucas had lied to her, not when she had to just deal with Nathan being at the apartment in the first place. Controlling herself around him was taking up all of her concentration, even when she wasn't around him she was thinking of him, like right now, her mind was just filled with him, the way he looked with no shirt on, how sexy he had been cooking her dinner, his fingers running around the rim of that wine glass, her pushing him down on a bed, straddling him and then lowering herself down on him until he filled her completely. Every single thing she looked at turned into a potential Nathan sex fest. Like right now her mind had moved from the bed and she was imaging him leaning her over her desk and taking her from behind, much like how he had taken her on Friday night. God the way his hands had felt as he gripped her hips, controlling the way he moved in and out of her, was just fucking fantastic. There was no other word that she could use to describe it.
She had been turned on pretty much ever since Nathan had walked back down the stairs and 'introduced' himself to her, and she was still turned on right now. So that was pretty much three days that she had been turned on for, and she was getting sick of the fact that she couldn't do anything about it. She desperately needed some form of release, preferably it would be Nathan but she knew that she couldn't do that, not when she was trying to break up with Tom, who still hadn't called her back, and that was also adding to her frustrations.
She glanced down at the clock on her computer and saw that it was five o'clock. Lucas was going to be in a meeting until at least seven. She bit down on her lip as she debated with herself, wondering if she could really just leave early. She knew that she had to; she knew that she wasn't going to be able to last another night being around Nathan, especially if he refused to put a shirt on again. She had to find something to help her relieve all this sexual frustration that had been building inside of her since Saturday morning.
She quickly shut down her computer and put her coat on before she could change her mind. She'd work through her lunch tomorrow to make up the time then. As soon as she reached the incredibly busy Wall Street, she hailed a cab and asked the driver to drive her to the nearest shop she could think of, obviously asking him to drop her around the corner to where it was; she was far too embarrassed about all of this to ask him to drop her off right outside of the place.
Once the taxi driver had dropped her off, she quickly glanced around, checking that she didn't know anyone who was remotely close to where she was headed, and then ran inside. She had no idea what she was looking for, she just needed something, so when she got inside the shop, she was both horrified and excited at the number of vibrators the place held. She really had no idea there were so many different types and she couldn't help how wide her eyes were becoming as she looked at the rows upon rows that were displayed in the store.
"Can I help you?"
Haley spun around and found herself blushing ferociously at the saleswoman who had just come up to her. She turned around and quickly grabbed the nearest one to her, it would do the trick, hopefully, and then turned back to face the saleswoman, waving the vibrator around in the air. "I'd like this please." Haley muttered as she quickly made her way over to the checkout to pay for her toy. She was so embarrassed about buying something like this, that as soon as she had paid for it, she quickly placed it in her handbag, thrilled with herself that she had bought her large handbag with her today, for there was no way she was walking around Manhattan with a 'Pleasure For You' bag on display for all to see. She then hailed another cab and headed back home, hoping that she would have some time to relieve herself before Nathan decided to make an appearance, maybe that way she would be calmer around him once he did come home, she hoped so anyway. If this didn't work then she didn't know what the hell she was going to do, moving out was going to be the only option left to her.
~*~
Nathan had just returned back to the apartment with a wide grin on his face, ready for his new and improved plan to be put into action. Given how easy it had been for him to get Haley all worked up over the weekend, he was going to push it a little bit further and see what kind of reaction he got from her, and he prayed to God that it would push her to end things with her boyfriend much quicker than she had originally planned, he desperately needed to be with her, patience wasn't something he was used to exercising, and the sooner she broke up with the boyfriend, then the less time she had to change her mind about anything between them. He wandered around downstairs, looking for Haley; he had presumed that she would have beaten him home, especially since he knew that she had left work before he had, since when he called her twenty minutes ago, she hadn't picked up and someone else informed him that she had left for the evening, but she didn't seem to be at the apartment. He shrugged as he made his way up the stairs after having searched all of the downstairs of the apartment, and saw that her bedroom door was wide open, and she wasn't inside of her room. Again he shrugged, continuing to walk along the corridor to his room, where he opened the door to his room and then closed it behind him, all the while wondering where she could be if she wasn't at home. He walked into his closet and pulled out one of his sleeveless t-shirts and a pair of shorts, stripped his suit off his body and changed into the shorts. He placed his suit on the chair in his bedroom, and carried the t-shirt with him, when he heard his mobile phone vibrate from the pocket of his suit trousers. He pulled out the phone, and saw that he had a couple of voicemails, so he sat down on the edge of his bed and listened to the various messages that his clients had left on his phone.
Haley wandered into the apartment with her newly purchased toy wrapped up securely in her large handbag. She really couldn't believe that she had even walked into that shop, let alone bought something from there, but she knew that if she was going to survive these next couple of weeks, she needed some way of relieving herself from all the sexual tension that Nathan seemed to just throw out by the damn bucket load. He really was just too damn sexy for her to even be able to begin to think about anything non-sexual when she was around him, especially when he chose to walk around the apartment shirtless all of the fucking time. She looked around the apartment and saw that she seemed to have it to herself, which pleased her immensely as that meant that she could start experimenting. She walked into the kitchen and pulled out some scissors and cut the plastic off her new vibrator. She then placed the scissors back into the drawer and walked up the stairs, noticing that Nathan's bedroom door was shut as she walked into her room, which was good since that was just the way he had left it this morning when he had left for work.
She decided to leave the door to her bedroom open so that she could hear him if he walked into the apartment, saving her a lot of embarrassment. She didn't even want to think about how smug he would be if he knew what she was doing. But then that thought reminded her of that damn sexy grin of his, and she could already feel herself getting turned on again as the fantasies that had been filling her head all day came right back to the forefront of her mind. She quickly stripped her dress off her body, grabbed the vibrator from her handbag and then lay back on her bed, leaving the vibrator to the side of her body for when she was ready to start using it.
She closed her eyes and took a few breaths, allowing the fantasies to roll through her mind. She then tentatively took one hand and ran it down the left hand side of her body, until she got to the waistband of the panties that she still hand on, and then bought her hand around to her stomach and then lightly trailed it up the middle of her chest, until she got to her bra. She imagined that it was Nathan's hand running over the top curve of her breast, she licked her lips as she brought her fingers closer to the edge of her bra, before slipping her hand inside, lightly grazing her hand over her nipple, causing it to harden slightly, and she bit down on her lip as she continued to imagine that it was Nathan's hand palming her breast. She then took her hand out of her bra and lifted her back off the bed so that she could unclasp her bra, and once it was undone she threw it in the direction of the door, hearing it hit the floor. She then lay back down on the bed and took another deep breath as she started to move her hands over her now bare breasts, pinching her nipples in between her thumb and forefinger like Nathan usually did, all the while imagining that it was his hands that were on her body. She couldn't help the quiet moan that escaped from her lips when she reminded herself of just how good his hands felt on her body.
After five minutes, Nathan stood up from his bed and started stretching, getting ready to go out for his run, after hanging his phone up and placing it on the bedside table. He opened his door and again shut it behind him, and then made his way over to the stairs, passing Haley's room as he went, a smug smile planted right across his face as he thought through his master plan once more, Haley really didn't stand a fucking chance, not if this weekend had been any indication of how easy it was going to be to get her worked up and wanting him. He was actually more than certain that she wanted him badly; especially given the way that her eyes had been lingering on his chest all weekend, he was so sure that she had been thinking about him. As he walked past her room, he could have sworn that he saw something in his peripheral vision so he back stepped twice and stood right outside of her door as he looked inside her room. His mouth then dropped open as wide as it could possibly get at the vision that was laid out in front of him. He could not believe what she was doing. His breathing quickened and he clenched the t-shirt he was still holding. So much for the fucking plan, it had just flown right out of the nearest window.
Haley was fucking lying on her bed, with nothing but her panties on and she was touching her breasts. He was in fucking heaven. He leaned against the door, and crossed his arms over his chest, instantly getting hard as he watched her pinch her nipples in between her thumb and forefinger, rolling them around just like he did when he played with them. God this was the sexiest thing he had ever fucking seen. He was completely mesmerised by her, and he couldn't move, not that he wanted to anyway, this was just so damn hot.
Haley continued to play with her nipples, but released one of her hands after a while and lightly ran her fingertips down the front of her stomach until she reached the waistband of her panties, and slipped her hand inside, finding her clit, and then she started to run her finger around it, teasing herself. She moaned when she lightly grazed her middle finger right over her clit, imaging that Nathan was teasing her like he always did, he always worked her up like this, and it felt so good.
Fuck, now she was making noises and her hand was inside of her panties. It took all the strength in the world for Nathan to keep from ripping his shorts from his body and start playing with himself as he watched her, either that or run over to Haley, rip those panties off her and give her what she really wanted, which was him obviously, or at least he thought it was him that she wanted, he hoped that she was thinking about him...
Haley continued to play with her clit but soon wanted more, she could feel how wet she was becoming and so she removed her hand from her panties and then slowly slipped her panties down her legs, bringing her legs up in the air so that she wouldn't have to get up from where she was lying down. Once she had removed her panties, she threw them in the same direction as she had her bra and then settled her legs in a wide stance on the bed with her knees in the air.
Nathan watched as she flung her panties in the air, watching as they landed pretty much at his feet. He glanced down at them quickly, for he really didn't want to take his eyes off Haley for more than any great length of time, but when he looked down at her panties, he saw that they were literally soaking wet, and the urge to pick them up off the floor was so fucking strong, he wanted to feel how wet she was, but somehow he managed to resist, and tore his eyes away from the white lace panties lying on the floor and concentrated on what Haley was doing, only now her legs were partially blocking his view, so he quietly moved further into the room so that he could get a better view of whatever she was going to do next, which he had no doubt would be sexy as hell.
Haley moved one of her hands back down her stomach and started to move her middle finger into her soaking wet folds until she found her entrance, and circled it a few times, before slipping two fingers inside of herself, feeling how wet she really was as they glided into her easily. "Mmm, Nathan..." She moaned out loud as she imaged that it was his fingers that had just moved inside of her.
Holy fuck. She had just moaned his name. He was grinning like a fucking horny teenager. Hell he was hard as one that was for sure. He felt the complete rush of euphoria run through him as he realised that she was fantasising about him; she missed him, she wanted him, she was imaging it was his fingers that were moving into her fucking fantastic pussy, it was hot as hell. Haley had just pulled two of her fingers back out of herself and now she was slowly moving them in and out of her at what had to be the most torturous pace ever known to man. He was having trouble keeping himself against the wall, and also he was having trouble keeping quiet himself, he wanted to tell her to move her fingers faster, he wanted to see her come hard and fast.
Haley continued to moan as she gradually increased the pace of her fingers, but she knew that she needed to experiment with the vibrator, she was so turned on right now, and she wanted to see what it would feel like. So she grabbed the vibrator from the side of the bed and turned around slightly so that she could see what she was doing.
Nathan watched in confusion as Haley turned her body away from where he was standing. She couldn't stop now; surely, she hadn't even had an orgasm. Hell if she was stopping then there would be no stopping him; he would walk right over there and give her exactly what he thought she needed. But then he literally felt his heart stop when he heard the buzzing noise coming from where she was laying. Hell no. He was going to literally die on the spot if she was going to start fucking herself with a vibrator. She had to be trying to kill him, seriously.
Haley switched the vibrator onto the lowest setting and licked her lips nervously. She had no idea what this was going to feel like, but she hoped that it would feel good and help her relieve some of the frustration she had been feeling ever since Nathan had announced that he was moving in with her. She then rolled back onto her back and widened her legs as she ran the vibrator slowly down her stomach, allowing herself to get used to the sensation it was producing. She then moved it around her clit and gasped when she felt the vibrations move right through her, this shit felt fucking good. She continued to move the vibrator down through her folds until she found her entrance and slowly pushed the vibrator inside, unable to keep quiet when she moved it all the way inside of her, it felt amazing and she couldn't control the noises that were falling from her lips, she didn't have a clue what she was saying either, all she could concentrate on was the feeling that these vibrations were creating in her body.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. What the hell was she doing to him? He was painfully hard and desperately needed some sort of fucking release, but he knew that once he started, he wouldn't be able to shut the hell up, and he wanted to enjoy what Haley was doing to herself more than anything, he wanted to savour this moment for all of eternity, he wanted to hear her not himself, he would just have to be fucking patient and wait, however hard that was going to be for him to do right now. He wanted to moan right along with her when she put that fucking thing inside of her, and the way her back had arched up off the bed was fucking sexy as hell. Watching Haley pleasure herself was almost as fucking good as him doing it to her, almost but not quite.
Oh God. Haley started to move the vibrator in and out of her and she could feel it hitting all the right spots, so she decided to increase the pace of her hand a little, as well as cranking the vibrator up a notch, imaging that Nathan was driving into her with that fantastic cock of his. "Shit." She moaned to herself as the vibrations got stronger. Whoever fucking invented this thing deserved a fucking medal, because all she could feel right now was pleasure. Nothing else. Pure, unadulterated pleasure. She increased the pace yet again and couldn't help moaning out his name again, for apart from the pleasure consuming her mind, he was also on her brain and she desperately wanted it to be him who was driving into her like this, she craved his touch, craved his kisses, craved that magnificent cock of his. "Nathan...."
Holy fucking shit. If she said his name like that one more time, he was just going to lose it and march right over there, there would be no fucking hesitation from him, not a fucking second of it. She was calling to him right, she wanted him to help her, why the hell else would she be moaning his name like that? He watched, completely mesmerised by the way the vibrator was moving in and out of her, he could already see that the vibrator was covered in her juices and he found that he was literally aching to be inside of her, he wanted those juices coating his cock instead of some fucking piece of plastic or whatever the hell her vibrator was made out of. He was fucking jealous of the vibrator, jealous of the fact that it should be his cock thrusting into her, not that thing.
But then he heard her moan again, and when something as simple as that was making Haley moan out like she was doing, well he was actually fucking grateful to the thing. Because, Christ, he had never in his whole fucking life ever witnessed anything as fucking erotic as this.
Fuck this thing was good. Haley continued to move it in and out of her, increasing the pace slightly. She was still imagining that it was Nathan's cock thrusting into her, she wanted him desperately. She moved her hands down her stomach, imagining that it was his fingers ghosting over her skin. "Nathan..." She moaned again.
That fucking did it. He couldn't take it anymore; he had to be a part of this fucking sexiness somehow. He walked over to where she was laying on the bed and kneeled down in front of her. He felt her shift slightly as she must have noticed the weight change on the bed, but before she could do anything, he covered her hand with his and started to move the vibrator in and out of her at his preferred pace, which was hard and fast. He couldn't take his eyes off the way the vibrator moved in and out of her, it was the hottest thing he had ever seen.
Haley opened her eyes as she felt the weight shift on the bed, and suddenly all she could think was just fuck! She looked down between her legs and saw Nathan kneeling down next to her, and she knew that she flushed the deepest shade of red ever possible. She had no idea what the hell he was doing home, or how she hadn't heard him come in the apartment, but none of that mattered right now, she was just embarrassed as hell that he had caught her like this. She felt his hand close around the vibrator which was currently still vibrating inside of her and she quickly moved her hand away, getting herself ready to jump right off the bed and start shouting at him for invading her privacy. But then she felt Nathan start to literally fuck her senseless with it and any embarrassment she had been feeling was quickly replaced with the feeling of her impending orgasm building up from deep within her.
"Fuck Hales, this is so fucking sexy." Nathan muttered as he continued to drive the vibrator inside of her. He watched as her back arched off the bed, allowing him to push it deeper inside of her. He desperately needed to find some friction for his cock but he couldn't bring himself to shift positions, not when she was this close to coming, her pleasure was far more important than his right now.
"God Nathan, faster..." Haley moaned. She never wanted this to stop; it felt too fucking good to ever stop. She felt the pace of the vibrator increase yet again as he continued to thrust it in and out of her, and then she felt his thumb land on her clit, rubbing it hard and in time with the thrusts of the vibrator moving in and out of her. "Shit." She cried out as she felt that coil inside of her begin to tighten. She raised her hips right off the bed, feeling Nathan push her back down to the mattress as he increased the pressure on her clit and before she knew what was happening, she felt the strongest orgasm of her life hit her.
Nathan continued to move the vibrator inside of her as she came; hearing her scream out his name, and it was literally the sexiest fucking thing he had ever seen. She arched her back right off the bed and he could literally see her body shudder with the force of her climax. He slowed the movements of the vibrator and his thumb on her clit, slowly bringing her back down from her high, all the while keeping his eyes on her whole body. She was fucking beautiful.
Haley opened her eyes but she couldn't see straight, so she closed them again, and tried desperately hard to concentrate on the rhythm of her breathing, trying to bring it back down to a more normal pace. She gasped when she felt Nathan pull the vibrator from inside of her and then listened as he turned it off.
Nathan needed to go and relieve himself very quickly. That was the hottest fucking thing he had ever experienced in his life. He couldn't help the smile that spread over his face as he replayed the way she had moaned out his name and he couldn't help himself as he leaned down to place a kiss on the inside of her thigh. "I knew you were thinking about me Haley." He muttered against her skin as he placed another kiss on her thigh, before lifting himself off the bed and heading out of her bedroom, practically shoving his shorts down his body before he had even entered his room.
Haley lifted herself off the bed and then scrambled to find her bag. She had to get through to Tom to arrange to meet him; she couldn't deal with this situation any more. She dialled his number and moaned when she heard it ring through to his voicemail again. She groaned in frustration and threw herself back down on the bed, knowing that if she had to wait another week to see Tom she was going to go absolutely crazy. She couldn't believe that Nathan had caught her like that; no doubt he was going to use what he had just seen and partaken in to his full advantage until she finished things with Tom, who wasn't even calling her back. She ran a hand through her hair as her head spun at a million miles per hour. God she was so screwed.
