Giving In To Desires
Chapter Five.
Haley was running late she was supposed to be going out with Lucas after tonight's game, which meant she had to be dressed for their date before going to the school to watch the game. The game was due to start in 20 minutes and she wanted to make sure she got there in time to see it. She had been looking forward to spending some time with him alone all week and was glad that it was finally Friday. Zipping up her dress she looked for a pair of earrings to go with it. Deciding on some large silver hoops she quickly put one in and swore as she dropped the other one and it disappeared under her bed. Crouching down on her hands and knees she peered under the bed eventually finding the elusive earring. Giving herself a final appraisal in the mirror she was pleased with the results. Lucas had told her to dress up and having not had anything suitable she had borrowed a dress from Brooke. Lucas would be surprised to see her dressed so revealingly for a change but it had presented itself as the perfect opportunity to dress the way she wanted to for once without raising suspicions. After all she had only done as Lucas suggested and borrowed a dress from Brooke. Looking at the clock she saw if she didn't leave right now she wouldn't make it in time to see the beginning of the game. Grabbing her bag and a jacket to ward against the chill she ran out the door and jumped into her car and sped towards the school.
A loud roar erupted as the match ended in yet another thrilling victory for the Tree Hill Ravens. As usual the Scott brothers had starred and Haley was extremely proud of both of them. She waited outside the gym for Lucas to change so they could go. Most of the team and spectators had already left but Lucas still had not appeared. Leaning against the wall she looked around the deserted hall for something to alleviate her boredom. Coming up empty she once again turned her attention back to locker room exit as she heard the door open hoping Lucas was finally ready.
"Hey Hales are you waiting for me?" Nathan asked with a smirk as he exited the room.
"What possible reason would I have to be waiting for you?" she asked a grin of her own forming.
"Thought you might want to congratulate me on my superb performance," he told her.
"Well done Nathan you are a basketball god," she said with more than a hint of sarcasm.
"Thanks but I wasn't actually talking about basketball. I was thinking more about the performance I gave at your place last night."
"Last night?" she questioned him jokingly "did you come around last night? Can't say I remember. Must have slipped my mind."
"Well then perhaps I should refresh your memory," he said advancing towards her.
Amusement was sparkling in her eyes as she looked up at him.
"You see" he breathed into her ear "it started with me doing this," a hand trailed lightly up her thigh "and then it went something like this" he unzipped her jacket slightly and his hand cupped her breast a thumb brushing over her nipple.
"I think I have a vague recollection," she told him her breathing becoming ragged at his touch.
"Well maybe we should go back to your place so I can remind you properly," he suggested.
"As great as that sounds Nathan I actually have a date so we might have to postpone this to some other time."
"You sure about that? You could tell Lucas you're not feeling well," his thumb still lightly brushing against her nipple.
"I can't Nathan, not now but come around later ok and we'll definitely continue this."
Nathan wasn't really happy about it but knew he didn't really have a choice. "Fine Hales. Call me when you get home" he said struggling to control his annoyance at her refusal.
"Ok" she said starting to move away but before she could get far Nathan's hands came down to grasp her waist
"Oh and Haley here's something for you to think about while you're playing kissy face with your boyfriend" he swooped his head down capturing her lips in a hard possessive kiss instantly she opened her mouth hoping to deepen the kiss but Nathan drew back.
"Nathan what was that for?"
"That's how a kiss is supposed to make you feel. Lucas never makes you feel like that does he? I'm the only one who can ever arouse you with one little kiss and don't you forget it. So go out with your boyfriend I don't care because when he kisses you I know it will be me you'll be thinking about." He stepped back and she looked at him shocked for a moment since when did Nathan get possessive. But before she could ponder on it further the locker room door opened once again and Lucas exited.
"Baby you look beautiful," he greeted her "are you ready to go?"
"Ready when you are." She told him brightly.
"Have fun you two," Nathan called after them "See you later."
Poor Lucas had no idea of just how seriously Nathan meant that rather innocuous farewell but Haley couldn't resist sending Nathan a knowing look as she turned back to reply.
"Yeah Nathan I'll see you later."
She knew it was mean to carry on like this in front of a clueless Lucas but for some reason she could never resist the thrill of playing word games with Nathan, only the two of them knowing the true meaning of the harmless sounding phrases they tossed back and forth. The constant possibility that they might get caught had really heated things up between them lately (as if they could get any hotter) and it had become increasingly difficult not to be too blatant in front Lucas and Brooke. Lately all Nathan had to do was look at Haley a certain way and she wanted to rip his clothes off, boyfriend be damned, but she would somehow manage to control herself until that initial wave of lust passed and she was able to think more logically. Because when logic played a part she knew she could never hurt Lucas like that and she would remind herself that she loved him it never occurring to her that that was not the sort of thing she should have to remind herself of.
"Baby" Lucas waved a hand in front of her face trying for the third time to bring her out of her thoughts.
"Huh?" she said slowly becoming aware of the fact that she was still standing there looking at Nathan. "Oh sorry Lucas I was just thinking about an assignment I have to do this weekend," she quickly covered for herself.
"That's cool Babe I just think we should go. It's getting late."
"Yeah you're right let's go," she agreed.
Leaving her car at the school she got into Lucas' truck still a little distracted.
"Hey you're a million miles away" Lucas interjected "maybe I should help you get your focus back."
He leaned over giving her a gentle loving kiss but all Haley could think about were Nathan's earlier words when he kisses you I know it will be me you'll be thinking about. Trying to drown out his words playing in her head she focused on Lucas trying to arise some passion in his kiss but it remained gentle and sweet and not for the first time she was frustrated with his lack of passion. I'm the only one who can ever arouse you with one little kiss. Damn him she swore inwardly. Pulling back from the kiss she smiled reassuringly at Lucas but if he had noticed anything wrong with their kiss he wasn't showing it.
"Lucas honey as much as I'm enjoying this I hadn't pictured us as having our date in your truck in the school parking lot so maybe we better get going." Lucas smiled at her before turning his attention to driving and headed off towards the restaurant he had booked a table at.
For the rest of the night Haley forced herself to think only of Lucas and eventually found herself able to relax and enjoy Lucas' company the way she always had. He had booked them a table at a really nice restaurant and when she arrived she had found a beautiful white rose resting on her place setting. They had eaten their dinner talking and laughing together and when they had finished had gone out to the dance floor holding each other tenderly and swaying to the music. At the end of the night he drove her back to the school to collect her car and when he had leaned over to give her a goodnight kiss her mind remained pleasantly blank.
"Thank you so much for tonight Lucas I've had such a great time. I'll call you tomorrow" she told him practically glowing with happiness.
As she drove home she thought back over their date thinking how wonderful it had been to spend some time together without the rest of the group around. Thinking of the group brought Nathan to mind and she couldn't help the devilish smirk that crossed her lips as she thought about what they would do that night. She had been back to the Lingerie store earlier and picked up something special for tonight hence her running late for the game that night. But it would be worth it to see the look on Nathan's face when he saw her in the black silk teddy and accessories that she had picked up. Pulling into her driveway she decided she would call him first then get changed while she waited for him to arrive. Walking into her bedroom she failed to notice the open window and kicked off her shoes as she reached around to try and get the zipper grabbing her phone off the nightstand as she did so. Grasping the tab she pulled at it unsuccessfully. Great how was she supposed to change into something more appropriate for Nathan's arrival if she couldn't get out of her dress? She groaned in frustration and nearly jumped a foot into the air as a hand came to rest lightly on her shoulder blades
"Let me" a husky voice breathed against her neck.
"What are you doing here? I thought I was supposed to call you."
"Yeah well I got bored so decided to let myself in. You don't mind do you?" he asked as he slowly pulled the zipper down.
"I don't mind at all" she assured him trembling slightly as she felt his hands pushing the dress off her shoulders before coming around to cup her breasts in his hands.
"Good" he said "now I couldn't help but notice the contents of that bag over there so why don't you go and get changed while I make myself more comfortable" he pulled one of his hands away and she heard the scraping sound of the zipper on his jeans being pulled down.
"Gladly" she agreed heading towards the bathroom before turning to look back at him watching the muscles in his body contract as he lifted his shirt over his head. How did I ever get this lucky? Lucas and Nathan. I have definitely got the best of both worlds.
The person standing outside the house looked at the two figures now silhouetted in the window wrapped around each other, disgust at what he/she was seeing written plainly on his/her face. "They are going to pay for this."
A.N. Ok I finally got around to updating again. I hit a major writers block on this story a few days ago and was seriously considering giving up on it. But thankfully I got some reviews which encouraged me to keep working on it. Please review believe me it does make a difference. Thanks to everyone who has so far. I'm afraid those of you who want to know who it is that knows Nathan and Haley's secret are going to have to wait a bit longer. I'm not quite ready to reveal it yet.
