Chapter 17

Natalie's cell phone woke her up the next morning with its incessant ringing. She groaned and rolled over her hand blindly reaching out to pick it up.

"Hello?" she mumbled out feeling John stir beside her.

"Hey Nat!"

"Jess?" Natalie questioned sleepily.

"Yup!" Jess said cheerfully. "What are you doing later?"

"I don't know. Why?"

"I thought we might go out tonight, hang out..."

At that Natalie sat up and John looked at her questioningly, she just shook her head and said to Jess, "I thought you were in London?"

I came back last night after I heard what happened yesterday. I realized that I don't spend enough time with you and if I want to be like real sisters, which I do, I have to be here. So I transferred myself back to Llanview and...well here I am!"

"That's great Jess!" Natalie was touched that Jessica wanted to rebuild, or rather build, their relationship. She looked at John and asked, "You work tonight?"

"I was supposed to, but I was gonna call in and hang out with you..." he said with a salacious grin. "Why?"

"So Natalie, want to go out tonight?" Jessica asked.

"Hang on Jess, Let me talk to John for a sec." Jessica made a noise of ascension into the phone and waited.

"Well Jess came back from London and wants to go out. You wouldn't mind... would ya? Its gonna be like a girls night out. I figure I can spend the night at Llanfair, you wouldn't have to miss work for me and..." seeing John about to protest she said, "I know you hate to miss work! Don't deny it!"

"I want to be around you more though. I love you Natalie." He was quiet for a second, seeing that Natalie really wanted to spend some time with her twin he couldn't help but relent, "Its ok Natalie. I know you'll be with Jessica and you won't be alone; I just don't want anything to happen to you. Yesterday really sacred me..."

"Ahh John! That's so sweet. I'll have Jess and I'm sure the body guards that I got following me around won't let anything happen to me." She looked at him lovingly, "I'll be really careful. I promise." She placed a quick kiss on his lips and then said into the phone, "We're on Jess. I'll meet you at Llanfair at 5. K?"

"Sure Nat! See you tonight. And Oh! Tell John not to wear you out too much! " Jess said with a laugh as she hung up.

Natalie laughed as she also hung up. She saw the loving concern on John's face and said, " I really am feeling better John. My head hardly hurts at all."

John reached up and caressed her face, "I'm just worried about you. I'll always worry about you. After all you have been thru I don't think I can not worry."

Thinking of no better way to reassure John that she was feeling better Natalie leaned over and kissed him hard on the mouth. She let her hands slid over his chest and onto his shoulders hanging on as she kissed him with single-minded intent.

John moaned into the kiss as his tongue tangled with hers. His body hardening immediately at the passion he felt in her kiss. He fell back onto the bed, his hands clutching her back before sliding down to her ass and pushing her hard against his arousal. When Natalie broke off the kiss and moaned loudly at the contact John's brain started trying to work again.

"Wait" he gasped out. This was too soon, she had been thru so much yesterday and he wasn't sure she was ready for this right now. He didn't want to rush her,

Natalie pulled back even farther as John tried to catch his breath, "It's ok John. I'm fine. I want this," she told him, sensing his fears that she wasn't ready for such physical contact after yesterday. To forestall further protests she straddled his hips, bringing her center over his ridged crotch. Leaning down she kissed him as she ground herself against him in a delicious rhythm that had them both groaning.

John abandoned all thoughts of being noble at the fell of Natalie above him, rubbing against him. The slow rocking movements she was using slowly drove all rational thought from his brain. He breath backed up in his throat as he devoured her mouth with his. He brought one hand up and buried it in her hair even as he used the other to grasp the bottom of her pajama top.

Breaking the kiss and leaning back Natalie allowed John to remove her shirt; never breaking the rhythm of her hips.

John groaned low in his throat as he looked at Natalie's bare breasts. They were large and full, alabaster perfection with rosy pink nipples begging to be touched. Pushing her back until she was lying on her back on the bed. With his hands on either side of her supporting his weight he leaned over her and bent down. Taking her left nipple in his mouth, he sucked at it with intent, wanting to taste her, to feel that little bud harden and pucker under his attention.

Natalie moaned and writhed underneath him as he, switching sides intermittently, laved and sucked at her breasts. The intensity of it making her so hot she felt like she would catch fire. Her moist center throbbed from within with her drumming heartbeat. Her hands anchored in his hair as she held him to her breasts.

John smiled against her breasts loving the uninhibited response she gave. He loved the feel of her skin against him, loved knowing that it was him that brought out this wild passionate side. Finally after a long while he pulled back from her breasts enough to grin at her then attach his mouth to her neck. Kissing and licking his way to her mouth, where he took her lips with yet another hard passionate kiss.

Natalie was in heaven. John had his hands and mouth all over her and it felt wonderful. But there was something missing. She wanted to touch him, badly. Moving her hands from his hair to his shirt she munched it up and yanked upwards, telling him with out words that she wanted him as bare as she was.

John sat up quickly and removed his shirt. He sucked in a breath when Natalie ran her hands over his chest and stomach. Her fingers light and tender then grew firmer and more insistent. He sat as still as she could while she explored him, shudders running thru him when she stopped to play with his nipples for a moment.

When he had all he could take he pulled away and stood up. Taking his sweatpants off he got back on the bed and helped Natalie lay back. Reaching for her pajama bottoms he hooked his fingers in the waistband and pulled them down over her arched hips. Tossing them aside he parted her legs and moved his face to her center, noting the fact that she wasn't wearing any underwear. He looked up into her passion flushed face and smiled wickedly. He moved his hand up her thigh and, using his fingers, spread her outer lips apart so he could lick at the pouty little nub there.

Natalie squealed at the first lick, pleasure shooting thru her, colors blazing streaks under her clenched eyelids. His tongue worked her mercilessly sweeping back and forth over her clit, occasionally dipping in to her wet core. Her hands anchored themselves on his shoulders and her hips moved in time with his tongue. Moans spilled from her lips as the intense pleasure flowed thru her in wave after wave, winding her up making her desperate for release.

John felt the chance in her and knew she was close. He gave her one last lick and pulled away. He chuckled at her protesting shriek and moved up her body, aligning his body on top of hers.

Natalie was panting and shaking with the force of her desire as he moved up her body. She wanted him, NOW. Her body craved him, demanded that he be inside her. When John settled over her, his rock hard erection nudging her for entrance she sighed in relief only to yell as he suddenly snapped his hips forward and buried his thick length deep inside her slick canal. With a long moan she wrapped her legs about his waist and her arms around his torso flattening her body against his in an effort to get closer to him.

John groaned and shuddered with passion as Natalie wrapped herself around him. He could feel her breasts flattened against his chest, her hard nipples stabbing him, making his already hard erection stiffen further. He grunted as he began to move inside her, sliding out then back in again. Her hips moved and thrust in time with his movements and soon they were clinging to the edge ready to fall over. John gave one last hard shove inside throwing them both over the precipice into glorious ecstasy. Wave after wave of pleasure swamped them and they rode the waves until the storm passed, bringing them back down into the arms of peaceful bliss.

Natalie lay there in John's arms and thanked god that he was there. Her thoughts going back to all that she had been thru in the past few months and marveled that she had survived. Getting kidnapped, twice, then Carlo and now her mishap at the police station, it seemed like she was destined to have horrible luck. If it hadn't been for John she wouldn't have survived it all; literally she would not have made it. She looked up at his beautiful face and felt such love flow thru her. He really was the best thing in her life.

"I love you John" Her tone soft yet powerful and filled with such deep emotion John felt overwhelmed with his feelings. He had also been thanking god for her in those moments after their lovemaking. He was just so grateful that he had found her, that she was in his life. The fear he had felt yesterday when he hadn't known where she was melting away leaving just the raw powerful love that consumed him. Made him want to keep her with him, safe and happy, always.

"I love you too." Those words seemed inadequate for such intense emotions but he could think of no other words to express how he felt.

Quiet descended over them as they lay holding one another, both savoring the closeness they felt at being together.
