Ch 9

" So that was good, really good," he told her as they took a seat in the living room after finishing dinner. She smiled at him.

'Why so surprised Mcbain... I've cooked for you before" she asked him curling her feet under her body. He smiled at her and looked into her playful eyes.

"Cook... no...made me a few sandwiches... a few reservations yes...but cook for me...no"

"I had to have cooked for you... once..." she said thinking in her head. " I'm pretty sure I have"

'Nope... never really cooked... and like I said a few minutes ago... it was good... Thank you," he told her again as she was still lost in thoughts about when she had cooked for him. He saw her still thinking and he laughed at how cute she was, he leaned in and kissed her gently... changing her focus for a few minutes.

"Now that I have your attention," he told her and she smiled." Yeah... you always have my attention" she told him and he again leaned in and kissed her, this time longer, a more heated kiss that pushed her back on the couch some. The same couch they made love on the other night... the same couch that helped to change things, start to make things right.

Kissing her and pushing his body into hers he saw her start to move some, push him away some.

"Slow... remember... just be... nothing else for now" she told him and he understood, nodded and moved off of her, moved over to the other side of the couch some.

John nodded his head and he sat for a few minutes staring at his hands, turned to her as she asked.

Natalie sat there, she told him no basically to them kissing and going further... but... he had her flushed, heated, she turned to him, he looked at bit nervous, out of place for a moment and she just did, asked what came to her, her impulsiveness shining thru.

"You wanna go upstairs?" she asked and he turned to her quick, a slight smirk on her face, he had no time to answer her, she grabbed his hand and was leading him upstairs slowly.

They slowly walked the stairs him following behind her as they barely made it up the stairs... as his mouth was kissing the back of her neck the whole journey up the stairs, his hands around her waist in the process.

Opening her bedroom door he glanced a peek at a room he never saw, her bedroom... it was decorated just her style, nothing over the top and defiantly not flowery anything.

Natalie looked at him as they walked into the room, staring deep into his eyes she felt his hands move to her face, hold it gently for a moment and tell her.

"I love you Natalie"

"A little soon to saying those words isn't it Mcbain" she asked jokingly as he pushed her towards the bed more, as his lips locked on to hers, up against her lips he mumbled the gentle words,

"Its never too soon for those words" and grabbed her roughly, pushed her back on the bed
