Four Leaf Clover – 15
Summary: Started from Trinity's challenge of J/N engaging in an affair behind the Evil One's back. EVenge kidnapped Natalie at gunpoint and confessed to killing Paul Cramer and Tico Santi – her husband! Hayes was arrested as the Killing Club Killer because they actually did real police work – ie, research – and traced him forward from Ivan Potter. Natalie overpowered the psycho lawyer and got them to the LPD. She was diagnosed with a mild concussion from being hit by Evangeline's gun, but refused to go home. John is dealing with the fact that he slept with a murderess.

"When do finals start?" John asked as he dropped Natalie's book bag on the desk.
"We have reading week next week, after that." Natalie dropped down on the couch and put her feet on the coffee table.
"So you need to study?"
"A bit, I only have three classes. I think I got a good handle on them."
"Maybe we could go away for a few days?" He sat down on the couch and dropped his head in her lap.
"Yeah? A mini-break means true love."
"Huh?"
"Movie reference, never mind. Where do you want to go?" Natalie stroked his hair.
"AC? New York? Nashville? Memphis?"
"Elvis? You want to go to Graceland!" Natalie laughed.
"Yeah so?" John asked defensively.
"I think Memphis is a great idea. Drive or fly?"
"Normally I'd say drive, but since you have to study let's fly."
"We could wait until finals are over."
"Then we'll never be able to get away."
"Maybe we shouldn't leave Michael right now."
"You're right. Elvis will have to wait." John sighed and closed his eyes.
"It was a lovely dream, while it lasted. We should check in on Michael. Find out when the memorial service is."
"He's at the hospital. I spoke to him before we left the station. How about I shower and then we go to sleep." John opened his eyes and put his hand on her face.
"Sure."

John walked out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist to see Natalie fast asleep in the bed. He sat down on the bed and brushed the hair off her face to look at the dark bruise on her temple. "Tough girl," he murmured and traced his finger down the side of her face to her lips. He pressed a kiss to her hair and then got up to toss the towel onto the bathroom floor and then climbed under the covers and gathered her close to him.

"I have nothing here to wear."
"Go naked."
"John!" Natalie spun on him and managed to look threatening even though she was just wearing a towel.
"Borrow something from Roxy." John didn't bother to hold back his laughter as Natalie came at him. He grabbed her around the waist and tossed her on the bed. "Better yet, stay there naked all day at your desk."
"Wouldn't you love that?"
"Hmmm, yeah, I would." John's voice coming from the depths of her neck was muffled.
"John."
"Can't you see I'm busy seducing you?"
"I kinda figured that." Natalie laughed and pulled his face out of her neck. His blue eyes were twinkling at her so she pressed a kiss to his lips.
"What?" he growled.
"I was just thinking about Michael."
"Now?" John asked incredulously.
"About how lucky we are to have found each other. I feel really lucky, John."
"Me too." John stroked her cheek with his thumb. They stared into each others eyes before John dipped his head down and they melted into sweet kisses.
Natalie slid her hands down his bare back to the waist band of his pants. Then she slid her fingers back up and down his side, eliciting the moans and shivers she planned on. Then she tilted her body to the side and reached between them to undo his pants. He gladly titled his hips back as he continued to kiss his way down her neck to her wet towel. He pushed it aside with his chin and slicked his tongue over one nipple.
"Damn." Natalie arched into him, losing her grip temporarily on this waist band. She bent her leg and used her foot to continue pushing his pants down his legs. When his pants and underwear reached his ankles they battled with their feet to push the offending clothing off the bed.
John groaned as their naked bodies pressed against each other. He continued to suckle the water from her body and pressed his fingers at her center.
"What you do to me, John." Natalie wrapped a leg around his hip and dug her nails into his upper back.
"This?" John pushed himself inside her. Again and again. And again. Natalie met him stroke for stroke, their lips and tongues mimicking the rhythm down below. Natalie felt John tighten inside her and the trembling of his body that came right before he erupted. The awareness sent her splintering around him and she felt every pulse of his seed inside her, which prolonged her own spasms. Both of them had their hands fisted in the others hair as they kissed and kissed as their bodies' pleasure subsided and the inexorable connection between them was almost a live thing humming through them.
John rested his hand on her hip, her knee was still bent at his side and they remained joined as they regained their bearings and their breath. He stroked his hand up her side, marveling that this softness could carry such a load.
"Fuck Graceland. Let's just get a seedy motel room and spend a week indoors," John panted against her shoulder.
"We have a seedy motel room."
"Not in Llanview."
"Do you think it'll always be like this?"
"Every time." He kissed her shoulder and nipped at her ear. "About the clothes thing, how about we get a place together?"
"We could…" Natalie trailed off. "Did you just ask me to move in with you?"
"Yeah." John propped himself on his hand and looked down at her.
"Oh."
"Oh?"
"Well, you're sure?"
"Oh, hell yeah I'm sure." John leaned down and gave her a kiss that showed her he had no doubts. He hardened inside and began to move again. "Are you gonna say yes?"
"Yes. Oh yes." Natalie arched into him and met his thrusts.
Sounds of groans, moans and panting filled the room for the next fifteen minutes as they found their bliss in each other, again. And again.
