Chapter 11- Putting Fear Aside

"How are things with Nathan?" Peyton asked Haley while they were shopping at the mall one Saturday in early December.

"They are going really good. Speaking of him, I have no idea what to get him for Christmas. I swear it seems like the boy has everything." Nathan's father, Dan, is really well off. Their house is huge and has the best of everything. There is practically a television in every room. Haley knew that she had to get him something special, something that he wanted but didn't already have.

"I am sure we can figure something out." Peyton started towards a rack of jeans.

"Peyton, I need to ask you for a favor. I want to stay at Nathan's house tonight, his father is out of town, but my parents obviously won't let me, so I was hoping that I could say I am staying at your house." Haley looked expectantly at Peyton, she knew this was a huge favor to ask. Peyton didn't usually do things like this, not even for Haley or Brooke.

"I guess, Brooke was going to sleep over anyways. It's not like they would have any reason not to believe you after all, you do spend the night at my house all the time." Peyton raised her eyebrows at Haley, it was Peyton's judgmental look and Haley felt as though she had been getting that look a lot lately. "Are you having sex with him Haley?"

"No. That isn't what tonight is about. It is just the first night that we can spend together just hanging out, it really isn't a big deal. We will probably just watch movies and go in his hot tub, and just talk." Haley walked over to Peyton, "I do think about it though. Sleeping with him I mean. I really do. It scares me though."

"Haley, I don't know about this one. I don't think that I am the best one to give you advice, seeing as how I am still a virgin too. And if you had asked me months ago I would have told you to wait, definitely. But I don't know, Nathan loves you, that is obvious so I guess just follow your heart. If it says to wait then wait. What scares you though?"

Haley was shocked at Peyton's comments, absolutely shocked. She would expect something like this from Brooke, but Peyton, definitely not. "I don't know, that it will change things. Or that that is all he wants from me, and when he gets it he will dump me."

"Haley I don't think that any of that will happen. But like I said, follow your heart. You don't want to rush into this and then regret it later. Take your time, he will wait, I know he will. It will work out Haley."

ooooOoooo

"So what movie is up next?" Nathan asked as he walked towards the DVD player.

"I don't know, how about How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days? I know it is a chick flick, but the last two movies we watched were ones you picked." Haley gave Nathan her puppy dog face.

"Not fair! You know I can't resist that face. Fine, fine, we will watch your chick flick." Nathan popped in the DVD and then laid back down next to Haley. It amazed Nathan, that look could make Nathan do just about anything.

"Well that if very nice of you." Haley rolled over on top of Nathan and began to kiss him lightly. Nathan began to explore Haley's mouth with his tongue. When she started to caress his lips with her tongue Nathan knew that is was okay to let his hands explore her body.

Nathan began to run his hands down Haley's stomach and when he got to the bottom of her shirt he started to push it up. Haley arched her back letting Nathan know that it was okay if he took it off. He pulled her up to a sitting position and she raised her arms above her head, with that Nathan peeled off her shirt. She laid back down and Nathan followed her. He lowered the left cup of her pink lace bra and took her breast in his mouth. He heard her pull in a quick breath and he knew that she was enjoying herself. As he bit lightly at her nipple he started to lower the straps of her bra so that he could give equal attention to her right breast. When he nipped at that one he heard Haley moan a little and that made him pull her close as his hands ventured to the hook on her bra. He struggled for a minute but then felt it click loose. He began to pull it off and watched in wonder as her breasts burst from the confining lace.

Haley reached down towards the bottom of Nathan's t-shirt and kissed him feverishly as she pulled it up. She only stopped kissing him for one second while she lifted his shirt over his head. Nathan's hands began venturing lower, he rubbed his hand up Haley's thigh and underneath her skirt. The feel of her lacy panties made him grow harder. "Haley we can stop, jut say when." He looked down towards her.

"Tell me you love me Nathan."

"I love you Haley." Nathan stared deep into her brown eyes as he said it.

"Then make love to me, please. We have waited long enough already."

"Are you absolutely sure that this is what you want?" Nathan didn't want to force Haley into anything, make her do anything that she wasn't completely comfortable with.

"I am positive." With that Haley's hands began to fumble with the button on Nathan's jeans. She finally got it undone and lowered his fly. She could feel his hardness spring out against her belly. Nathan stood up off the bed and stepped out of his jeans. He leaned over Haley and pulled down her skirt. He hardened more at the sight of her lying there in nothing more than her pink lacy panties. He turned around and walked towards his dresser, he opened the top drawer and rustled around a little. As he turned to walk back towards the bed Haley could see the square foil package in his hand. She felt a little nervous but knew that she was doing was the right thing for her.

Nathan stepped out of his boxers before he lowered himself on top of Haley once again. He kissed down her neck and then trailed kisses down her abdomen. He could feel her tighten as his lips edged towards the top of her panties. He lowered them down and he could feel her push them off. She opened her legs to him and he lowered his mouth to her center. He explored her most intimate place with his tongue, and as he flicked it against Haley's most sensitive spot her could hear her moan. He continued until her breathing indicated that she was ready for him.

Nathan raised himself to his knees and tore open the foil package, he threw it to the floor and unrolled the condom on his throbbing member. He laid back down and guided himself towards her. Haley took a deep breath as Nathan started to ease himself into her, as he did he looked her right in the eyes. He could see that she was a little scared to he paused, knowing that he would soon hit some resistance. "Don't stop Nathan, please, don't stop."

Hearing that Nathan pushed slowly deeper into her, as he did she flinched in pain but he could feel her loosen up. He could tell that the pain had subsided as the look on her face was one of sheer pleasure. As Nathan began to move himself in and out of her she started to move her hips more and more quickly against him. As though Haley was a seasoned pro she wrapped her legs around Nathan pulling him deeper inside of her. He could feel her nails dig into her back and knew that she was almost there. Then he felt it, he felt her shake against him and call out his name, in a voice deeper than he had ever heard her use before. With that he knew that she was there and he could release, he gave one last thrust and then let himself succumb to the pleasure.

They laid there for a few minute and then Nathan rolled off Haley, he got off the bed and headed towards the trash can. A few seconds later he crawled back into bed with Haley, he wrapped his arms around her right. "Are you okay Hales?"

Haley turned towards him and pulled herself closer, "I am fine, I am wonderful in fact. That was amazing, I am glad we waited, but I am glad we didn't wait any longer. Thank you Nathan, that as incredible."

Nathan rolled onto his back and Haley laid her head on his chest, the two fell asleep just like that, in on another's arms.
