Chapter 13 NC-17

Three months later Natalie lay in John's arms pouting, her bare back against his naked chest. "Do you really have to go back so soon?" He had come to Llanview for the weekend and had to go back to Atlantic City in the morning. The last three months they had alternated between John coming to Llanview and Natalie going up to Atlantic City. She knew that one of them would have to make the sacrifice and move but for now this arrangement worked for them.

John kissed her deeply and then pulled back, "You know I have to. I have to testify in the morning." He told her. He reached up and palmed her breast, loving the feel of its weight in his hand. It was a perfect fit.

"Mmmm..." Natalie said. She pressed herself more firmly into his palm and moved her bottom against him. Even after three months she couldn't get enough of him.

John hardened against her immediately and grinned. He moved his hand to her core and felt that she was already wet and ready for him. He moved from behind her and then pressed her back to the mattress. He climbed on top of her and began to kiss a path from her lips to her bellybutton then back again.

Natalie was writhing under his delicious ministrations. She smiled and decided to turn the tables on him. She put her hands on his shoulders and pushed. He looked up questioningly, smiling at the intent in her eyes. She pushed at him till he was on his back then she bent over him with a wicked smile. Her hair trailing over his sensitive body she began to place kisses all over him. She got more and more turned on as he moaned and voiced his approval of her actions. Finally, when he was begging for her, she straddled him and settled over his throbbing hardness.

She sank down slowly, taking him in inch by inch. When he was imbeded as deep as he could go Natalie leaned forward, kissed him passionately, and began to move. Torturing them both with a slow rocking motion.

John put his hands on her hips and helped her move. He arched upwards meeting her thrust for thrust. Soon the torturous rhythm proved to be too much and they climaxed together crying out the others name. Natalie slumped forward, exhausted and John wrapped his arms around her, turning them so they lay facing each other on their sides.

RING! RING!

Natalie groaned as the phone rang. She snuggled deeper into John's embrace, not wanting to answer it.

RING! RING!

"Just answer it," John said to her with a slight laugh. For her day off she sure did get called a lot. Until last month Chris had been calling her constantly but after John had a few words with her ex he had stopped calling all the time. Most other times it was Bo or Antonio calling about a case she was working on. He hated the interruptions but he knew it was all part of who Natalie was.

Natalie sighed and rolled over, reaching for the phone. "Hullo?" she asked, wishing that people would just leave her alone on her day off. Heck it was 7 at night! Couldn't she get a break?

"Natalie? You busy?" Antonio asked.

Natalie sighed. This was becoming a problem. It seemed like every time she had a chance to spend some time with John Either Bo or Antonio called her and wanted her to come in to work! She was annoyed and this time she was going to say something! "Look Antonio, you know John and I are seeing each other! You know we only get to spend the weekends together so unless it's an emergency please just leave me alone on the weekend!"

"I'm sorry. I am just so used to you being around. Now that John is in the picture he takes up all your time. I'll have to remember that." Antonio told her. He sounded a bit off to Natalie.

"Look Antonio why don't you call Jess? I know she would love to spend some time with you." She told him. Jess was her twin and happened to be in love with Antonio. She had thought Antonio felt the same but it seemed like they were drifting apart. Natalie thought it might be because Jess was working so much at the paper and Antonio practically spent all his time at the station. Ever since he had gotten his badge back he had been going at it non-stop.

Antonio was silent for a moment then he forced a laugh, "Yeah I guess I'll do that. It's not often Todd lets her have a night off. I'll see you tomorrow Nat."

John listened to the conversation and sighed in relief. She wasn't going back in. He had been doing some serious thinking over the last month and he knew that he couldn't keep this up. He wanted Natalie with him all the time. He hated leaving her to go back to work. He knew that it was time to make a change. He hadn't yet told her but after he left this last time it would be the last time. He had put in for a transfer and it had been granted. After this next assignment he would be working out of the Pennsylvania FBI offices rather then the New Jersey ones. That meant that he could spend more time with Natalie since the Pennsylvania offices were located only 30 minutes from Llanview! He also wasn't taking on any more undercover cases; he didn't want to be away from Natalie for months at a time! If all went well the next time he came back it would be for good!

Natalie hung up the phone and then looked at John. He was naked and sweaty, his hair was messy and damp. She laughed at the sight the two of them made. At John's questioning look she said, "It's a good thing he called instead of coming over."

John grinned at that. He laughed and took her into his arms hugging her tight. "I love you Natalie."

Natalie turned in his arms and kissed him on the mouth, "I love you, too John." She pulled back after a moment when her stomach growled. "I think I need something to eat."

John grinned wolfishly and leered at her, "Yeah? I know what I want to eat..." He tackled her onto the bed and began to kiss her body.

Natalie fell back giggling as his hair tickled her skin. Her giggle turned to a moan as John's mouth closed over her breast. She was drowning in sensations as they made love yet again.

After they were finished Natalie lay back in the bed, exhausted. She snuggled into John's arms again as he played with her hair.

"Natalie...?" John questioned a short while later. He needed to talk to her and wanted to make sure she was awake.

"Hmm...?" Natalie murmured, content and peaceful in his arms.

"We need to talk."

Natalie sighed; she had known this talk was coming. She wanted to ask him where they were headed, where they were going with the relationship but she had been to nervous to ask. "I know." She told him. She got up and slipped on a robe as he pulled on his boxers. She sat on the bed and said, "What now?"

He didn't pretend not to understand. He knew she was nervous perhaps a bit scared of what he wanted to say. Hell he was nervous himself. "What would you say if I told you I wanted us to move in together?"

Natalie smiled widely and threw her arms around him hugging him tightly. "I would say yes of course!" She hugged him again then pulled back abruptly, frowning at him. "Where? Atlantic City?"

John was grinning at her reaction. Raising a hand to her face he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "Nope. Right here in Llanview."

"Really? Are you serious?" At John's nod she kissed him on the mouth. "I love you!"

They kissed a minute then John but her from him and looked deep into her eyes. "I love you too. Being away from you so much these last few months has been hell. I put in for a transfer and I got it. I got transferred to the Pennsylvania FBI base and its only about a twenty minute drive from here."

"That's wonderful!" Natalie told him. "But what about working undercover. I know you liked doing that!" she protested. She didn't want him to give up a job he loved for her.

"I told them I wouldn't be doing any more undercover work. I will still have to travel some but I would be around a lot more." He told her. He really wanted this to work for them. "After tomorrow I wont have to leave for a while."

"That's so great!" She gushed more happy then she had been in a long time. She was about to say more when her stomach growled again. She blushed.

John laughed at both her blush and her stomachs rumblings. "Lets go get something to eat," he said getting up. After they were dressed they headed to Rodi's for dinner.
