Several days later, Kris found herself lying in bed with Nathan. It had been another rigorous day of practice, and both were completely exhausted. And yet somehow, neither had been able to fall asleep. So they'd cuddled up together, holding one another and talking. It was moments like this that Kris loved the most. Content with just being in Nathan's arms, talking with him, teasing him. Moments like this Kris held preciously to her, the way she'd never been able to do before she met him.

"You sure do seem to attract some weirdos, don't ya?" Nathan asked, amusement edging at the corners of his voice. Kris couldn't help but to laugh as she recollected Nathan earlier, chasing Alan off again after he once again attempted to sweep her off her feet. Or so that was how he put it.

"Are you including yourself in that one?"

"I'm no weirdo."

"That's what you think. Besides, I'm pretty sure he's terrified of coming back into the kitchen again."

"And I will if he keeps lurking around you like that."

Kris giggled. "We wouldn't want that now, would we?"

Nathan chuckled, pulling her closer against him. "The only one who can lurk around my future wife, is me."

"Future wife… I like it. Has a nice ring to it."

"Yeah, it does."

"Same ring as getting to call you my husband soon."

Nathan nodded his head. "I like it. Now to just make it official. We haven't really been able to talk about it with everything going on lately."

"Everything's just been kind of crazy. But you do know how I feel about it."

"We're not eloping. It's too cheesy."

"Why not? Less hassle that way. Why do you want a wedding anyway? Aren't the guys usually the ones who just want it over and done with?"

"Considering that our relationship hasn't exactly gone the… traditional way… I just figured we'd do it right this time. Make memories and all that crap."

Kris groaned. "You're really going to make me wear a big puffy wedding dress, aren't you?"

"Well it doesn't necessarily have to be big and puffy. That's up to you." Nathan answered on a laugh.

"… Will you bake a big wedding cake?"

"You can bet your bottom dollar on that one babe. Come on, it'll be a blast."

"Alright, I'm in. When do you wanna do it?"

"The second all of this crap is over with obviously."

"That could be a while you know."

Nathan shrugged his shoulders. "So? Gives us something to look forward to at least."

"That's true."

"It's settled then." He said, pressing a quick kiss against her forehead.

Kris sat up, looking down at Nathan with a suddenly mischievous look in her eyes. "You know, I just remembered something."

"What's that?"

Her index finger began tracing lines up and down his chest. "I believe I promised you a mind-blowing demonstration some time ago, didn't I?"

Nathan's gaze turned heated and he flipped them, pinning her down into the mattress. "Oh yes, I remember now."

Kris leaned up and nibbled on Nathan's earlobe, causing him to shiver above her in delight. "Let's see if we can get to mind-blowing status again."

"I'll try my darndest babe." Nathan whispered, sealing her lips with his. His tongue slowly traced the edges of her lips, an involuntary moan escaping her. Did he know just how good of a kisser he was? He had to have. He used it against her constantly, turning her into a giant pile of goop within mere seconds.

He always seemed to know where to touch, where to kiss, to undo her in his arms. Did he really know her body better than she did? Well, two could play at that game. In her time with Nathan, she'd learned a couple of his vulnerable spots, and exploited them whenever she could. Partly because seeing the goose bumps rising on his skin gave her great satisfaction, but also because she wanted him to feel just as amazing as he made her feel.

She pulled her lips from his and traced her tongue down to his neck, licking delicately at the throbbing vein there. A low growl came from the deep recesses of Nathan's throat, reverberating through his chest. Kris moaned, the dark masculine sound causing her lower belly to burn with desire. She loved that sound he made. It sounded passionate, almost animalistic. A sound that he made when she was doing something right. She grabbed the edge of his shirt and roughly pulled it off, tossing the unwanted garment across the room. Rising and falling with his breathing, the expanse of Nathan's chest was exposed to her delight. He really was an extremely attractive man. And she still couldn't believe how lucky she was to have found him. All for herself.

It took only a few moments for both of them to strip one another of their clothing. Desire licking at their heels, making them both almost desperate with impatience. But still, even as they were both pressed against one another, skin to skin, a primal hunger taking over their senses. Nathan slowed his motions. Looked deeply into her eyes with a soft smile kissing his lips. He brought his hand up and ran his thumb gently across her cheek, sprinkling feather-like kisses across her face. Kris giggled. Nathan truly was quite the romantic, always trying to sweep her up off her feet. It was moments like these that made her feel just how precious she was to him.

But feeling the throbbing heat pressing against her thigh, Kris's patience reached its limit. She grinded her hips accurately against his, earning her a throaty groan. His mouth opened in a silent cry of pleasure, the sight both magnificent and enthralling to Kris. But Nathan threw her a devilish grin and lowered himself, taking his tongue and tracing it down her body. Starting at the valley between her breasts, and running it slowly down to just above the triangle of hair above her womanhood. He watched her intently with each slide of his tongue, seeing as she threw her head back against the pillow and gasped. Loving the feeling of him tasting her that way. She writhed beneath his touch, letting out a moan as he kissed his way back up. This devil of a fiancée she had.

Nathan looked down at her then, hastily claiming her lips as he moved in between her legs. Eagerly pushing himself into her waiting body. They both moaned in unison as he slid home, her loving heat taking him deep inside of her. Every pore of Kris's body screamed for release, for this man to take her to a place that only he could take her. High above the heaven's and well into space. A place only the two of them dwelled. Pure bliss and ecstasy.

Grabbing her hands, he laced his fingers through hers, rocking his hips against hers. She groaned in satisfaction of being filled, panting and writhing beneath Nathan as he set a slow, steady rhythm. A rhythm that Kris knew all too well. One that she knew would drive her completely wild with need and decadence. It was a teasing rhythm that Nathan adored using because, as he had told her, he loved seeing the hungry look in her eyes. Indulgencing every sense in her body and then lapping it up with his eager tongue.

Nathan chuckled, the sound restrained in his efforts. "You alright babe?"

"Never better princess." She panted, sealing her lips against his as he continued his motions down below. Though she knew it would completely inflate his ego, it was hard for her not to admit that Nathan was positively other-worldly when it came to this. His body and hers just seemed to connect on some instinctual level, finding every nook and cranny to bring the other to the brink of insanity. Every time like the first time, discovering each other over and over again.

Kris began to feel the delicious tightening in her core and her eyes met Nathan's, throwing him a seductive smile. He pressed his forehead against hers in answer, pulling one of his hands loose of hers. She went to protest, loving the intimacy of such a small gesture, but abandoned her efforts when his thumb snaked up between them and found the small nub to her undoing. The incredible sensations wracking her body began to blur together, causing small tears of idyllic rapture to trickle down her face. She felt like screaming, like crying, all at the same time. Her whole body seemed to throb with unending pleasure. Her now free hand clawed at his back, chanting his name like some sort of answered prayer as she dove head first over the cliff. Nathan followed shortly, swallowing up her cries as he too fell into the heavenly sensation that is the little death.

Their bodies shook in unison in the aftermath, simply staring into one another's eyes. Both of them were gasping from their excursion, but they still clung to each other. Kris brought her hands up to cup Nathan's face, taking her thumb and rubbing some of the sweat from his brow away. To her, he'd never looked more handsome to her. Looking at her with such loving eyes, his hair plastered to his forehead with sweat, labored breathing as a result of giving her such pleasure. She leaned forward and pressed a kiss against the salty skin on his forehead. Kissing the tip of her nose lovingly, Nathan gave her a soft smile. He gently pulled himself from her body and fell to the side, tucking her into his side and pulling her into his arms.

"I think we've maintained our mind-blowing status." Kris panted.

Nathan smiled and nodded. "I second that."
