Disclaimer; God, I wish I could say that I owned Naley...but unfortunately I don't, nothing except the crazy shit whirling around in my mind is mine. And that's not exactly brag-worthy. Oh, well..


Chapter Twenty One

Haley breathed in the fresh air and leaned comfortably back into Nathan's chest. Nathan wrapped his arms tightly around her, and for once, she felt safe. The peaceful atmosphere around them somehow made her feel carefree. This was a feeling she hadn't felt in a long time. She closed her eyes and let the content feeling work its way through her body.

She had woken up this morning in the same position as they fell asleep the previous night. Nathan's grip around her had loosened a little, but she was still laying close to his body with her head on his chest. It had been a while since she had gotten a good night of sleep. She knew that it was because she had opened up again, and let Nathan back in, that she had finally slept like a baby again. She couldn't deny it, she needed him. And it felt good to need someone like this.

She smiled and placed her hands on top of his, as she felt his warm breath close to her ear when he lowered his head next to hers. The familiar small tingles spread their way through her body as he nuzzled his nose into her cheek and placed a soft, chaste kiss on her jaw line.

She had felt that Nathan had still been a little hesitant around her, when they woke up this morning. She figured out from his demeanor, that he probably wasn't sure where he had her still. The worried looks he gave her, told her that he was afraid that she would fall back into the state she'd been in. That yesterday had only been temporarily. She could see that he was still hurting, or that he was scared of getting hurt again, but she couldn't blame him. She would probably also have been a little reserved, if it was the other way around. With the way she had treated him, she could only imagine how he must have felt. How painful it must have been for him.

The morning had gone by with few words. But they had shared many looks and an occasional touch here and there, with reassuring smiles. She still felt drained after last night, and she felt she needed more time before she could start getting into this again. And as the wonderful man he was, Nathan gave her time, and didn't mention anything about it. Instead, he had surprised her when she came out of the shower, with a picnic basket and a rented car. Apparently, he had talked to the hotel kitchen, and made them arrange a basket for them while she was getting ready. And when she had finished up, he had grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the room, without saying anything about where they were going.

And now, here they were. He had taken them out of the city, and found a nice, quiet place, close to a gigantic, beautiful vineyard, with miles and miles of verdant hills that overlooked the sea. It was amazing and so beautiful. Nathan had the talent of being a romantic when he really wanted to. He was amazing. And he was all hers.

Haley turned her head, that rested against his shoulder, and looked at him with a smile.

"Thank you, Nathan. This was just what I needed." She said, and squeezed his hands.

"This is just the beginning, Hales. I've arranged a wine tasting for us, together with Jake, later this week. And next week I've planned for us to go to Antibes and Cannes." He winked and flashed her his famous smirk.

"Well, aren't you full of surprises today?" She said pleasantly surprised.

"I figured it would be best if we kept ourselves busy most of the time, and simply live in the moment. You know, just enjoy each other and what this beautiful country has to offer." He said softly.

Haley felt her heart flutter instantly by how caring and considerate he was. How he wanted to take her mind off of things, and make her forget about everything while they were here. And that's why she had to get everything off of her chest today, so that they could, in fact, enjoy each other and the days they were going to spend here. The future would still be there, but she could at least get the darkness of the past locked away, and focus on right now. She owed him at least that.

Haley looked into his eyes and smiled.

"You're amazing, you know that? And you're right." She paused for a second and saw his smirk resurface.

"Well…stating the obvious here, baby." Nathan said playfully.

"Ugh, we have to something about that ego of yours." She huffed and shoved him lightly in the shoulder, with a playful smile on her face. His confidence was one of the things she secretly loved about him, but if she told him, she would never hear the end of it, so she decided to try and tone him down a little instead.

"Just admit it, you love it. I can see it in your eyes." Nathan chuckled and hovered his face in front of hers.

Haley felt her stomach do a tiny flip flop while a small shiver ran down her spine. She playfully narrowed her eyes at him and palmed his cheek.

"Hmm, that might be, but you know I can never tell you that."

Nathan leaned into Haley's touch and closed his eyes.

God, he had missed her. Her voice. Her soft touch. Simply just being close to her.

He opened his eyes again, and found her beautiful, brown eyes staring back at him. He smiled and started to lean in, but quickly stopped himself, when the thought of her maybe not being ready for this next step, hit him. She had still been a little reserved this morning, and still was. But she talked to him and let him near her, which was a huge change from the previous days, and a big step in the right direction.

He shifted his eyes down to her lips. He felt desperate of the want to feel them against his own again, even if it was just for a little while.

"Come here." Haley whispered and moved her hand around to the back of his neck to close the small gap between them.

The kiss was slow and tender. Almost like a first kiss. They were both testing each other out and neither of them wanted to do anything that could maybe scare the other away.

Haley felt her head started to spin by the feel of Nathan's soft, warm lips. She wanted to lose herself completely in him, but knew that if she did, she wouldn't be able to talk. She nibbled softly on his upper lip, and lingered a few seconds in front of his mouth, before she pulled back and rested her head against his chest again.

She felt Nathan's fingers raking through her hair, and let out a huge sigh, when his fingertips grazed her scalp.

"I don't want to move away from Charlotte, Nathan. My life is there. I love my job, and I love the people I work with. Peyton is there - she's my family. You…" She trailed off. Her heart started to ache by the thought of leaving Nathan behind. How could she have been so stupid, to think that it would make everything better and easier? He was the reason she was able to breathe right now, and she had a feeling that that would never change.

Nathan kept playing with her hair, as he listened to her speak. He wanted her to continue on her own terms, because he knew she had more to say, so he chose to stay silent. He kissed the top of her head, when he heard a small sigh escaping her.

"I thought that if I left, I would make everything better. That I would be fine and you would be fine. Eventually. But if I end up leaving, it would only mean that he won. That he got just what he wanted, and I don't want that, I can't let him manipulate and control my life like that again." She paused for a second, to control the sobs that kept crawling into the back of her throat.

"I can't live without you, Nathan." She choked out and grabbed a hold of his shirt.

Nathan enclosed her fist in his hand and carefully placed a loose strand of her hair behind her ear.

"I know, baby. I'm not going anywhere." He nuzzled his lips against her forehead.

"I'm here for you." He whispered into her skin when her sobs increased.

Haley sniffled and wiped her tears after a few seconds, and tilted her head so she could look at Nathan.

"I just don't know what to do. How can we make him stay away from us? How can we make sure that he won't hurt us? You, especially. I don't think a restraining order will be enough, he wouldn't give a shit about that."

Nathan looked into the deep, brown eyes, that made him feel everything at once.

Stillness. Happiness. Love. Comfort. He felt alive. She made him feel alive.

God, he loved her.

He couldn't believe that he came so close to giving up on her. It wouldn't have been worth it. He would've hated himself for the rest of his life, if he had ever walked away from her. He silently thanked Jake, for helping him see what was right, and for Haley, that snapped out of her dark hole at the time when she did.

He looked intently into her eyes, that was glistening with tears, confusion, and fear.

"I'll make a few calls and see what I can do. See if we have a case at all. But I will not let him get away with this. And I will not let him chase us away from our home. Whatever happens, we're gonna face this together, Hales. You know that, right?"

Haley closed her eyes for a brief moment.

Chase us away.

Our home.

Her heart swelled and almost bursted out of her chest.

She opened her eyes again and found Nathan's eyes. The promise and the love they held, made her completely speechless. Her voice wouldn't hold right now, if she tried to speak, so she smiled lovingly at him and nodded her head.

When Nathan returned her smile with one of his genuine, real smiles, she felt her body go into overdrive. The tingling sensations fired through her body, they hit every surface of her skin, making her shiver uncontrollably.

"Are you cold?" Nathan asked when he felt her body tremble.

It wasn't exactly summer warm outside, even though the sun was out. He could feel the cool breeze, that once in a while, would make the small hairs in the back of his neck to rise. So he leaned over to the basket and grabbed the extra blanket he'd brought, to put around Haley.

"Here you go." He tucked her in and rubbed his hands up and down her arms.

"Thank you." Haley said, and indulged herself in the feeling of being wrapped up in a blanket, with Nathan's strong arms around her.

"But I wasn't really freezing…" She spoke low and pulled her bottom lip in between her teeth, as she looked up at Nathan through her eyelashes.

Nathan's heart almost jumped right into the back of his throat, when he saw the look in her eyes, and the sound of her low voice, that he swore, held a hint of huskiness. A shiver ran down his spine, and immediately alerted a certain part of his body.

He cupped her face and stroked his thumb across her cheekbone. He locked her gaze, and slowly lowered her down onto the blanket they were sitting on. She was now laying down on her back, staring intently back at him, making his heart rate blow out of proportions. He traced his hand down her cheek, and further down her neck, over her pulse point, until he came to the edge of the blanket he'd put around her. His eyes stayed locked with hers, as he carefully opened the blanket and unfolded it from her small, perfect frame. He let his hand delicately move over her naked chest until he came to the hem of the neckline of her top, which was just above her cleavage. He continued his way down on top of the fabric, in the valley between her breasts, and down across her stomach. He then moved his hand to her waist and rested it there.

Haley kept her eyes at him. Completely transfixed by his blue, sparkling eyes, and combined with the touch of his hand, made her entire body turn into an explosion of sensations. The anticipation inside of her increased with every second, and she wondered what his next move would be after he stopped his hand at her waist. She wanted to feel more. She could feel her body burn by the sudden want and need of him. She had deprived herself long enough for the intimacy and the closeness, and now she really needed to feel him.

Haley slid her body so she was more underneath him, and raised her hand to his face. She smiled tenderly at him and stroked her knuckles over his lips and chin.

"Are you okay?" She asked carefully, starting to feel a little self-conscious by his intense gaze.

Nathan was broken out of his thoughts by the sound of her voice, and involuntarily squeezed the hand that was resting on her waist, when he got a little startled.

When he saw that Haley started to squirm and twist underneath him, he continued to tickle her.

"Na-thann, don't!" Haley pressed out in between her crying laughs.

Nathan knew how much she hated to be tickled, but he couldn't help but think how much he had missed that laugh. That wonderful sound. So he kept torturing her a little longer.

"I - beg you-u. Pleas-ee stop!" Haley tried to break his hand away from her sides while she writhed her body from side to side. But she was stuck underneath his body. And with the lower part of his body completely on top of hers, there was no way out. He was too heavy for her to get away from.

When his thumb came in contact with her bare skin that was now visible after her top had risen up, he heard Haley suck in a sharp breath, and she stilled the movements of her body. He quickly halted his ministrations, and swallowed hard. He had felt it too.

Their laughters died down, and the atmosphere around them changed as blue met brown once again.

Nathan felt himself being drawn towards her. Her big, brown, glistening eyes were slowly wheeling him in, and within the next second, he had connected their lips. The kiss was explosive and frantic. Tongues were battling with each other, while hands explored all the way from head down to the linings of the pants.

When Nathan moved his hand to the center of Haley's stomach, she let out a loud moan into his mouth, which caused Nathan to groan himself. The feel of her thigh against his crotch had his body going into high gear, together with the taste of her amazing lips. There was no better feeling than being with Haley like this. She made his body come to life, in every way, by the simplest touch. And this was no exception, seeing that it had been a while since she had touched him or given him any kind of response.

He delved in the feeling of his hand against her soft skin and slowly inched it up towards the underline of her bra.

Haley held onto the collar of his shirt with one hand, while the other kept playing with the small hairs in the back of his neck. When Nathan moved his mouth along her jawline and found her spot just below her ear, she pulled his body closer to hers and moaned out loud again. God, she had missed this. His lips felt so good against her skin. The burning sensation in between her thighs were slowly starting to drive her crazy, as Nathan kept sucking on her neck and finding his way to her breast with his hand.

"I've missed you, baby." Nathan whispered huskily into the skin of her neck, right when he dipped one of his fingers into the cup of her bra and found her already hardened nipple.

"Ohh - " Haley's words got caught in the back of her throat when Nathan flicked his finger over her nipple.

She arched her body into his and slung one of her legs over his hip, to bring his lower half even closer than he already was.

"I've missed you too" She whispered in a trembling voice, as every sensation in her body made her quiver in pleasure.

It felt like she was almost ready to explode, and they hadn't even shed any clothes.

Nathan moved his hand around to her back and unclasped her bra, to free her perfect breasts. He couldn't stand the barrier between them and his hand right now, so he had to loosen the bra to get proper access. He started to tug at it, but quickly halted when he heard Haley's soft giggles. He raised his head and looked at her, a little annoyed that she'd started to laugh, because it totally ruined the moment.

"What?" He huffed out in frustration.

Haley couldn't help but break out into a fit of giggles, when she caught the frustration and annoyance in the tone of his voice.

Nathan kept staring at her, and felt his painfully hard member press against his pants, which didn't make him any less annoyed by the fact that Haley was now laughing at him.

"What's so funny?" He tried again.

Haley raked her fingers through her hair and tried to choke down her laughter.

"Aww, you're so cute, baby." She was finally able to get out after a while.

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about?" Nathan was confused. He had no idea what she was talking about. It was annoying as hell, because here he was, feeling like the worst case of blue balls there ever was, and she stopped it all by laughing, and then ended up saying that he was cute!

Haley had to fight to hold back her laugh, as it threatened to break out again. She pulled her lip between her teeth and palmed Nathan's cheek.

"My bra, Nathan. You know you can't remove my bra, when I'm still wearing my top, right?" She suppressed another giggle as she saw the realization of the situation appear in his face.

Nathan realized quickly what she was saying, and mentally slapped himself for being so caught up in the moment. This probably made him seem like an amateur, when he tried to picture the entire thing from Haley's point of view. How he had tugged at her bra, like an impatient, dorky teenager, only to get better access to her breasts.

He closed his eyes for a second and groaned out loud.

My god, he was adorable.

Haley saw how embarrassed he got and didn't understand why he let this get to him so easily. They were both very much caught up in the heat of the moment, and she didn't notice it herself until she felt him tug at it to remove her bra entirely. That's when it hit her that she was still also wearing her top, which made her break into a laugh.

Haley suddenly heard someone talking, and turned her head towards the sound. When she saw a group of people walk across the field, she remembered where they were, and immediately started to blush. Thank god they were still wearing their clothes, cause that could've been embarrassing.

She palmed her forehead and turned her head back to Nathan, which had also noticed the people a few hundred meters away from them. When Nathan glanced back at Haley with one of his smirks, her face turned dark red.

"Too bad we got held up by that bra of yours, huh? Otherwise we could've given them one hell of a show." Nathan cocked his eyebrow and chuckled, when he saw Haley's face and neck turn into that cute, blushing color.

"Oh you would like that, wouldn't you?" Haley huffed out, and swatted his shoulder lightly, before she sat up next to him.

"Hey, whoa, what are you doing?" Nathan asked astounded when she started to fiddle her hands under the top to re-clasp her bra again.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" She looked at him seriously, and had to suppress a smile by the look on his face.

"No, no, no, come on Hales." Nathan sounded a little desperate and tried to pry her hands away from underneath her top. He moved his mouth close to her ear and whispered huskily. "I don't mind if we have an audience." He smirked and placed a wet, lingering kiss right below her ear lobe.

Nathan's warm breath against her ear caused her to shiver, and another set of tingles shot through her spine by the sound of his husky voice. Haley let out a breathy moan when he kissed her and slowly started to lean into him. She tilted her head as Nathan trailed his lips down the column of her neck, while his hand was resting on the flesh of her stomach.

Haley suddenly snapped out of it, when she heard the chattering again, and this time they were even closer.

"Mmhh, Nathan…not here." She spoke up and pushed lightly at his chest.

Nathan hung his head and let out a defeated groan. He withdrew his hand from underneath her top and rested it on top of her thigh, and raised his head when he felt her hands on his cheeks.

Again, Haley had to hold back a giggle when she saw the pain and desperation in Nathan's eyes. She gave him a sympathetic look before she gave him a quick peck in the lips.

When she pulled back she looked him in the eyes and made sure he was with her. "Come on, let's go back to our room." She whispered in a seductive tone and added a sexy smile, before she slowly started to get up on her feet.

Nathan's breath got caught in the back of his throat, by the change in Haley's demeanor - and not to mention that fucking sexy voice of hers, combined with the killer smile, that made him throb in excruciating pain. He watched her get up on her feet and was unable to contain the deep, guttural groan, when she bent down, right in front of his face, so he got a perfect view of her tiny, firm ass - as she started to pack their stuff back into the basket.

Nathan couldn't move. He was completely paralyzed by the sight of the petite brunette in front of him. Not to mention his hard on, that was extremely painful at the moment. And it didn't help the matter, the way Haley was moving around either. The way she was swaying her hips and then pop her perfect, little ass in the air, whenever she picked something up from the ground.

"Fuck!" Nathan cursed quietly, as he tried to get up, but felt the tightness in his pants throb like crazy and make it extremely hard to move.

He heard Haley giggle by his outburst, and fell down on his back. He raked his hands through his hair and closed his eyes. He focused on calming himself down, with every possible thought that would turn him off, so that he could get the hell out of here, and back to their hotel.

When he opened his eyes again, he looked straight into Haley's giggling face that was hovering above him.

"Come on, hot shot. What's taking you so long?" She teased him and darted her eyes down to his bulging pants.

"You - are going to be the death of me, Haley James." Nathan groaned out loud, as Haley picked up the basket and slowly started to walk towards the path that lead to where they had parked the car - while laughing loudly.


He walked slowly through the living room. Making sure to take a good look around. He had cut the power earlier, so that he wouldn't cause any alarms to go off, when he broke in through the backdoor of the house.

When he came to the small side table, by the end of the couch, he picked up the framed photo that was sitting there. It was a picture of them, together. She was laughing, while he was looking at her with adoration and a big, genuine smile.

He clenched his jaws together and squeezed the frame in his hand, almost to the point where he broke it. It disgusted him to see that guy looking at her like that. No one, except for him, were supposed to look at her - in any way. He felt the rage rush through him so that his hands started to shake uncontrollably.

Fucking prick.

He quickly placed the frame down on the table, and walked towards the hallway.

He couldn't understand how it was possible that she looked so happy. She looked so carefree and at ease - but it had to be an act. He knew she didn't love him, not in the way she loved him. She was probably just waiting for the right moment to give him the boot. When she was sure that he would have everything sorted out and ready for her to come back to him, she would probably kick his sorry ass out.

There was only one obstacle that kept them away from each other right now, and as soon as they came back, he was going to take care of that, once and for all. Once he would get this done, he knew that she would be grateful for what he did for her, for them - so they could finally start over and begin the rest of their lives together.

He made his way through every room in the house, while he went through the plan in his head. He had almost everything sorted out, and knew what he had to do - what would be the easiest thing to do. It was absolutely perfect.

He smirked to himself, and when he stepped into the master bedroom on the second floor, he walked over to the bed and sat down at the edge, next to where it looked like she was sleeping. He noticed the hand lotion, and the girly book at the bedside table, so it was safe to say that this was her side of the bed.

He removed the black glove on his hand, and stroked his palm softly over her pillow. He leaned down and inhaled the mixed scents of her shampoo and her perfume. She smells fucking amazing. He couldn't wait to finally be able to run his nose across her skin again. To finally have her body pressed against his own. Feel her naked skin, and her breasts pressed up against him.

He felt himself getting rock hard by the thought, and groaned.

He got up on his feet, reached into his pocket and pulled out the small object. He held it up in front of his eyes, and suddenly got filled with memories from the past. She used to love this, she would never let it out of her sight. And he was positive that she would be happy to see it again. Then she would definitely know how he felt, and she didn't have to walk around and pretend anymore.

He stayed in place for another minute and nodded to himself in satisfaction. His plan was brilliant, there was no way in hell that this wouldn't work - he had it all under control.

Now, all he had to do was wait for the perfect moment, once they were back.


Nathan was laying on his stomach with heavy eyelids, and fought against sleep. He was exhausted to say the least, but in a good way. They had definitely made up for lost time after they came back from their picnic trip.

He smiled lazily to himself when he felt the bed shift next to him. It didn't take long before he felt the sheet, that was resting low on his waist, being lifted, and a warm, naked body crawling on top of him.

He could feel his skin tingle when she left soft, wet kisses in between his shoulder blades and continued upwards to the back of his neck. When she trailed her lips around the the side, she found his earlobe and nibbled softly at it, while stroking his upper arms, that was spread out next to his head, with her hands.

Nathan really was tired after their earlier activities, but for some reason he felt himself slowly starting to react again to Haley's ministrations. He loved how soft, and tender she was. The combination of her hands, her lips, and her naked skin pressed into his, made the most incredible sensations run through his body. He could never get enough of her. The twitch between his legs was a definite proof of that, as Haley breathed out a soft moan while she kept working her mouth on his ear.

"Are you falling asleep on me?" She purred sexily into his ear.

"Is my girl frisky today?" Nathan asked in a low voice.

Haley kissed her way around to his lips and looked at him while licking her lips.

"Crazy frisky." She whispered, before she claimed his lower lip, making sure she worked at it properly by sucking and licking it.

Nathan couldn't help but let out a deep, guttural groan by the sound of her sultry voice, combined with the sweet taste of her lips. The fact that her breasts was pressed firmly into his back didn't exactly put a damper on the sensations that quickly developed within him. When he felt Haley was about to pull away from his lips, he grabbed her wrist and in one quick motion, flipped her over - in which a loud squeal escaped Haley - before she was securely placed on her back.

Haley instinctively placed one of her hands on her chest and grabbed a hold of Nathan's biceps with the other hand.

"Hey, don't cover up my perfect view now:" Nathan smirked down at Haley and moved the hand away from her chest. She felt him intertwine their fingers and place their joined hands at the mattress next to her head.

Haley playfully narrowed her eyes at him but still couldn't contain the smile.

"Ugh, you're such a guy…" She said and lightly squeezed his arm.

When she felt the firm, bulging muscle under his skin, her body quickly started to heat back up again, after that gymnastic flip she'd just involuntarily been a part of.

Nathan smirked and lowered his head. "Yeah, but I'm your guy." He whispered, mere centimeters away from her lips.

Haley could feel his warm breath fanning out at her lips, and automatically swiped her tongue over them. She slid her hand up his arm and over his shoulder, before she stopped at the back of his neck. She stroked her hand up and down in his hair, which made Nathan close his eyes for a brief second. When he opened them up again, Haley put a little extra pressure with her nails at his scalp and whispered. "Yeah, you're my guy." Before she pulled him in and closed the gap between them.

Haley could feel her heart was about to burst out of her chest as their lips connected, and when Nathan squeezed her hand and slid his other hand up the curves of her body, she let out a deep, guttural moan and arched her lower body into his. The intense want and need for him was back again in full force. It was really amazing how quick the atmosphere around them changed. One second it was fun and lighthearted, the next one they were practically assaulting each other, and the PG-13 line was not even to be seen at the same continent.

She had no idea to how she had been able to stay away from him like she had, and wished with all of her heart that she could've taken that back. Sadly, it was too late to change the past now, but she sure could try and make up for it - which was exactly what she was doing. It was physically impossible to ignore what her body was craving right now. Every single part of her skin was burning, and her stomach was twisting and slowly building up that amazing tight coil, that she wanted and needed to explode - and rather sooner than later.

Haley reached in between their bodies and found Nathan's insanely hard member. As she started to pump him gently with her hand, Nathan did an involuntary jerk with his lower body and groaned into her mouth.

"Ohh, fuck! That feels so good, Hales." He choked out and moved his lips to her neck.

He untangled his hand from hers, and moved it down to her center. He needed to feel her, he needed to reciprocate what she was doing to him. When he dragged his fingers through her folds, he almost came in an instant when he felt how wet she was.

"God damn it, you're already so wet, baby." His voice was trembling along with his heavy, staggered breaths.

Haley was about to answer him, but her words got caught in the back of her throat when she felt Nathan slip two fingers inside of her.

"Nathann…" Her eyes snapped shut, as she felt him graze one of her sensitive spots when he dragged his fingertips along her walls.

Nathan suddenly pulled his fingers out of her, just as quickly as he had entered her, and covered her hand that was clasped around his shaft.

"Baby, I can't…I have to…" He couldn't even finish his sentence. He felt Haley spread her legs even further and cradle him in between her thighs.

An incoherent sound escaped Haley, when he placed himself at her entrance, barley touching her with his tip. He looked at her and saw that her eyes were closed, and her lips were slightly parted.

"Open your eyes."

Haley's head was spinning by the feel of him circling around her entrance. Her eyes were heavy, but she forced them open, when she heard Nathan's husky demand. She knew he wanted to watch her when he entered her, and she wanted to watch him too as they united their bodies into one.

She fixed her gaze at his blue pools, and allowed him to pull her in with the immense intensity his eyes held. She lost herself completely in him, and got caught a little off guard when he suddenly entered her, but in a slow, torturous pace.

Haley had to fight hard to focus on him, so her eyes wouldn't roll to the back of her head, when she felt him push all the way inside of her. She loved this feeling. Every time he entered her, she always felt like her body was about to be torn apart by the overwhelming, explosive sensations it created, when he filled and stretched her to the fullest. He was so big, but he fitted so perfectly.

Nathan watched Haley carefully and fought hard to keep his own eyes open, as the feeling of her tight sheath once again closing around him. She was so tiny, but he was amazed by how her body were able to adjust and form so that he could fit inside of her - making him a perfect match for her, and vice versa.

When he'd pushed all the way in, he slowly pulled out, almost entirely, before he repeated the action.

"God, I love the way you feel around me." Nathan groaned out.

Haley raked her fingernails across his chest and around to his back. She bit her lip to stifle a moan when Nathan shifted the angle of his hip, so he hit another sensitive spot. Hell, she felt like every single fiber of her surface was like a sensitive bundle of nerves. It didn't matter where he hit her, it was always like this with him. The incredible friction, even just the thought of him so deep within her. He made everything feel so god, damn good!

Haley put her legs over his waist and crossed her ankles, to spur him further on. She needed him to go faster. The tight coil in the pit of her stomach was building fast, and she felt like it wasn't long until it would snap and make her scream out his name like she always did.

"Ohh, God. Yessss." Haley moaned out when Nathan increased the speed, as she squeezed her legs tighter around him.

She grazed her fingernails up his back and heard Nathan choke back a groan. She could feel that he was also close, so she kept her ministrations with her hands on his back, and started to clench her inner muscles on every upstroke.

"Fuckkk." Nathan choked out when he felt Haley squeezing her walls around him.

"Let it go, baby." Haley murmured as she felt Nathan's movements starting to slow down. That was a sure sign that he was about to burst, and she knew that when he did, it would make her come too.

Haley moved her hands to the back of his head, and pushed him down so she could connect their lips. They were barley able to taste each other, as the powerful sensations they both felt in the lower parts of their bodies, were too strong to actually focus on anything else.

"I love you." Haley whispered into his mouth.

The same second Nathan stilled his movements as he let himself go.

Haley felt him twitch and empty himself inside of her, which triggered her own release. His name fell off of her lips over and over, as she experienced one of the most powerful orgasms she'd ever had.

It took them both a while to come down. Their breaths were still shaky and heavy. Nathan let his head fall down and nuzzled his lips over Haley's collar bone, and up the side of her neck until he reached her ear.

"I love you too, Hales." He said and let his lips linger in front of her ear for a second, before he made the move to roll off of her.

Haley unclasped her legs from around him, and followed him as he placed himself next to her on his back. She snuggled herself into the side of his body, placed her head on his shoulder and draped her arm across his torso.

Nathan kept running his fingers up and down her arm, while they lay there in silence, both trying to catch their breaths.

After another moment of silence, Nathan started to chuckle.

Haley angled her head and looked up at him. "What?"

"Nothing, I was just thinking about what show we could've given those people that was having that vineyard tour earlier." He smirked down at her.

Haley gasped and pinched him in the side.

"Ouch! What are you pinching me for? It's true!" He chuckled and winked at her.

"I can tell you right now, mister, that that would've never happened!"

"Why not? So you're telling me that you would never have sex in a public place?"

Haley traced her hand over his chest, and circled her finger around his nipple.

"I never said that…" She trailed off and bit her lip as she glanced into Nathan's eyes.

Nathan almost swallowed his tongue as the words left her, and combined with that sultry look she was giving him right now, he swore he almost felt himself restore again. What a fucking turn on!

"Are you challenging me, Hales? Cause you know, you're gonna regret it one day." He smirked and evoked a tiny giggle to escape her.

"You promise?" She smirked back at him and started to laugh when Nathan groaned out loud.

"God damn it, that's so not fair! My girl's a dirty player…so hot!" His head was already spinning, and he felt excited by the simple thought.

"I have my moments." Haley teased and moved her head closer to his neck.

"You do realize that I won't be able to think about anything else from now on, whenever we're out, right? The seed is already planted, Hales."

Haley laughed and nibbled lightly on his earlobe. "And what if that was my intention all along?" She smiled when she felt Nathan shiver.

"Like I said before, you will be the death of me, Haley James." Nathan groaned and chuckled. "But what a marvelous way to go." He added and moved his hand down to her hip, before he lifted her so she was sprawled out on top of him.

Haley raised her head so she was looking directly at him. She was pretty sure she would never hear the end of this, and every time they were out, he would probably take every opportunity he had to make this a reality. But the fact was, that she was just as excited about this idea as he was, if not even more. But she decided to keep that to herself, at least for a while. It was going to be so much fun to see how he would try to handle this, because she knew that when it came to sex, Nathan Scott wasn't a very patient man.

She placed her elbows at the side of his head and put her hands in his hair. She smiled softly at him and leaned in and gave him a deep, tender kiss.

"Mmm, you know what I want?" She asked while hovering in front of his mouth.

Nathan slid his hands up her back. "No, but I guess you're about to tell me." He whispered and moved in to find her lips again.

Haley halted him by putting her index finger on his lips, and smiled when Nathan opened his eyes in surprise.

She removed her hand and raised her eyebrow at him. "I really, really want to…take a shower." She said, and rolled herself off of him, and quickly out of bed, before he even had the chance to react.

"What the…!" Nathan got up on his elbows and turned his head after her. "Hey, come back here…" He whined when he felt the warmth of her skin disappear, leaving him cold and alone at the bed.

Haley stopped by the door that lead into the bathroom and glanced over her shoulder. She tried to contain her laughter by the sight of his baffled expression.

"You know, there's room for one more if you're interested? I might even let you wash my back." She teased and walked giggling into the bathroom, when she heard Nathan stumble his way out of the bed, and sprint after her.

Oh, God. What did I just put myself into?

She smiled. Her man was insatiable, but then again, so was she.

As Nathan caught up to her and swiped her off the floor, she squealed in surprise and started to laugh. When they got into the shower cubicle, she turned around and faced him, after he'd put her down.

"I don't think I've ever been this happy before." She said seriously. "And it's all because of you, Nathan." She added, and felt her heart beat a mile a minute when Nathan smiled lovingly back at her, and tenderly stroked her cheek.

Yes, she was definitely going to be fine. How could she not? As long as she had Nathan, she knew that everything was going to be okay in the end. He was all that mattered, and he was everything she needed.


AN; Happy OTH Wednesday! Since there's no Naley in this weeks episode, I figured why not give you an update today? This was a rather uneventful chapter, but think of this as my tribute to last weeks Naley reunion. Who doesn't want a little fluff, right? I'm still an emotional wreck after that one, by the way. My Naley heart is bursting with happiness! I know, fangirl problems, but I'm not even a little bit sorry. lol

And again, I'm sorry that it took so long for me to get this out. You can all blame my university, I know I do. Hope it won't take me too long to have the next one up.
Until then, enjoy the second to last OTH episode tonight. (I'm crying just by thinking about it..ugh!)

Anyway, thanks to all of you that still read, review and to all of you that alert/favorite etc. It's truly appreciated!
