Okay this is a little something I think the Nick/Nat packers will enjoy.
It has some sexual tension but I dson't think it is involved enough to be
on the Jadfe list. Hope you enjoy.

(m/f) Nick and Nat

To the Limit (1/2)
by:
Charma

        Natalie tried to concentrate on the file sitting in front of her,
but her mind would not let her. It kept wandering back to Nick. Last
night they had another 'close call' as he liked to put it. She on the
other hand referred to it as another unfinished bout of lovemaking. More
and more lately it seemed whenever they were near each other they had to
be in each other's arms, however Nick would always put a stop to it
before it got far enough. He would give her his usual spiel about how he
was afraid of hurting her, then they would say goodnight and that would
be the end of it. Natalie was getting tired of it. She was definitely
ready to have it progress further. The question was, how was she going to
convince Nick that it was the right thing to do. As she sat staring at
the unopened file on her desk the idea hit her. She was going to do it,
she was going to push Nick to his limits. He was after all a man and men
can only take so much seduction before they give in.

        As she rode the elevator up to Nick's, Natalie ran through her
plan one more time to make sure she had not overlooked any detail. She
wanted this night to go off with out a hitch. She fidgeted slightly,
pulling her trench coat tighter around her. Underneath she wore a tight
red dress that had a plunging neckline and the highest hemline she had
ever dared to wear, accompanied by a pair of, what friends referred to
as, fuck-me pumps. She had planned out the evening to the last detail.
Natalie knew that Nick wanted her and she planned to let him know it. He
was not expecting her and Natalie knew that he would have drunk more
blood that evening. He usually tried to drink less blood when she was
coming over. He thought that she was not aware of this, but she could
tell just by looking in his refrigerator. He will be more relaxed and
less hungry, two things necessary for her plan to work.
        When she stepped out of the elevator, Natalie was not surprised
to find Nick waiting for her next to the door. He knew she was coming, he
always did. When he smiled at her and put his arm around her shoulders,
her stomach did a flip.
        "I'm going through with this." she told herself as they walked
into his living room.
        "Let me take your coat." Nick's voice broke through her thoughts
as he tried to remove her coat.
        "No, that's okay. I'll get it." she took a deep breath and
stepped away from Nick. This was it, once she started she could not stop.
Turning to face him, she saw his look of slight confusion. Grasping the
her coat tight together she took a deep breath then brazenly removed it.
She tossed her coat onto the back of one of his chairs and watched as
Nick's expression went from amazed; she really thought his eyes might pop
out for a moment, to pleased; with a full grin.
        "Do you like?" Natalie asked as she approached him and put her
arms around his waist.
        "Oh yeah." he murmured as she covered his lips with hers. For
several minutes the only thing that either Nick or Nat thought of was
their mutual explorations. Slowly Nat slid her hands up Nick's chest and
started to unbutton his shirt. Before she got to the third button,
however, Nick had grabbed her hands away and moved away from her.
        "Nat. No." he whispered as he dropped her hands and moved further
away from her to the couch. Nat knew she had to act quick. Hurrying over
to him, she put her hand on his shoulder and turned him to face her.
        "Yes." she simply said as she leaned in and kissed him again. She
unbuttoned his shirt and slid her hands across his strong chest. Pulling
her lips away from his she trailed kisses down his throat, teasing him
with the tips of her teeth. Nick's breath suddenly became rapid and his
arms tightened around her. Natalie pushed him towards the couch and they
fell onto it. Natalie laid on top of Nick, kissing him deeply, feeling
his descending fangs. Nick's arms went around her and started to slide
down the length of her body. Just when they started to curve over hips
and onto her butt he stopped himself. Suddenly, Natalie found herself on
the other side of the room, having been thrown there by Nick, who was
currently standing in the open refrigerator drinking his second bottle of
blood.
        "Nick." Natalie said as she stood from the floor and started to
walk towards him.
        "Are you okay?" he asked as he started on his third bottle.
        "Well, I'm not hurt if that's what you mean." she stood several
feet away from him, afraid to approach him.
        "Why did you do that?" he asked in a still husky voice.
        "Nick, I want to be with you and I know you want to be with me. I
trust you and know that you won't hurt me. " she told him taking a step
closer.
        "Nat, I have hurt you and I will hurt you. I love you and can't
risk your life, it means to much to me." he told her turning to face her.
        "I can't do this anymore Nick. I just can't sit around and wait
for you. I need our relationship to move on, but I don't think you do. Is
that the truth Nick? Is it just that you have been trifling with me all
along?"
        "No, Nat. I love you more than anyone I have ever known that is
why I can't risk your life." he took a step towards her, but she backed
up this time.
        "Well, Nick, I don't believe you. I'm sorry but this is it. I
have to say good bye." she turned and walked towards the door, but he was
there to stop her.
        "Nat, don't go like this." he put his hands on her shoulders.
        "Nick, I'm sorry it has to be this way." she shook his hands off
her shoulders and walked past him to the elevator.
        Nick watched her leave. He could not believe this was how it was
s going to end. He always knew that he would be the one saying goodbye,
but he wasn't ready to say goodbye to her. He didn't know if he would
ever be ready. Still staring at the door, Nick knew he had to get her
back. Grabbing his shirt, he was out the window in a flash.

        Natalie wiped the tears out of her eyes as she fumbled with her
keys. She opened her front door and stepped into her apartment. Regret
was foremost on her mind. How could she have been so stupid? It was going
to be hard to get over him but it was necessary. She could not continue
her life like this. It was time for her to think about herself ahead of
Nick. For too long she had forsaken her own happiness to help Nick.
        When she stepped into her living room Natalie was stunned to find
Nick waiting for her. He had been sitting in her couch and stood to greet
her.
        "What are you doing here?" she asked with a lot more venom than
she had planned.
        "Natalie I am not ready to say goodbye to you yet." he walked
over to her and tried to grab her hands but she avoided him by walking
past him.
        "Nick, I meant it when I said I wanted you out of my life now. It
hurts too much seeing you. I can't deal with you anymore."
        "Marry me." Nick said from behind her.
        Natalie turned to stare at him, shaking her head from side to
side. "Why?" she finally asked.
        "Because I love you and I don't want to be without you." he
tentatively took a step towards her.
        "Do you know what it feels like to be in love with you? I want to
spend the rest of my life with you, but knowing that I can't because you
don't want me." she told him trying to keep her tears from falling.
        "Natalie." he began, but she cut him off by putting her hand up.
        "Nick, I know that you care about me, but I feel like I have been
used, I feel unloved, undesired, and unwanted every time I see you. I
know that if you wanted me as much as I want you, we could be together
but the truth of the matter is that you don't. That's not the worse thing
though, you want to know what really is the worse thing, well it is the
fact that no matter what, I am never going to be able to fall in love
with anyone else." this time she was unable to keep the tears from flowing.
        In an instant, Nick was holding her. "oh Natalie, I do want you.
I realized  the moment you stepped out of my life that I couldn't live
without you. I believe in you Natalie and if you believe in me I know
that we will be together. We just have to take it slowly."
        Natalie pulled away from him, "Nick, no. I don't want you to tell
me we will be together when you and I both  know that you have no
intention of ever going through with this." she turned away from him and
started to walk away but he was in front of her.
        "Oh yes I do. I want more than anything to make love to you right
this moment. It no longer matters if I fear that I might hurt you, it
only matters that I have to be with you." to emphasize his point, he
lifted her into his arms and kissed her so thoroughly that she had to
break free to catch her breath. She tried to take a step away from him,
but his arms lifted her off the ground. In a flash she was on her bed
with Nick hovering over her.
        Their lips came together ferociously, each devouring the other.
When Nick's hands started to slide further down Natalie's body, she
pushed him off her slightly. She looked into his eyes, happy to see that
they were still blue.
        "Nick, are you sure you want to go through with this?" she asked hesitantly.
        "Natalie, I love you more than anything and I plan on making love
to you, if you will let me." he told her placing a peck on the tip of her
nose.
        "Oh yes." she muttered as she reached up and kissed him.

        Nick and Nat laid upon her bed, holding each other tightly,
sharing a deep lingering kiss. Natalie was ecstatic about the aberrant
intimacy that she and Nick were sharing. She had often fantasized about
what their first time together would be like and now it was going to
happen. Nick gently pushed her onto her back and disengaged his lips from
hers. Leaning up on his elbow, he just stared down at her, smoothing out
her hair away from her face. He was amazed by her beauty. Not her outer
beauty but her inner beauty. He could feel her love for him radiate and
he wanted nothing more than to bask in her radiance.
        The look on his face made Natalie worried. She reached up and
caressed his cheek lightly. "Are you okay?" she asked.
        "Uh-huh. You are so incredible. Beautiful." he grinned down at
her. " I want to love every inch of you." he trailed his hand down her
chin and barely across her neck. His fingers glided over the fabric of
her dress and down her arms, leaving a trail of goose bumps in their
wake. Lightly he touched her breasts through her dress. "Roll over." he
whispered. Natalie complied.
        It took only a moment for Nick to slide her clothes off and
straddle her hips. Sweeping her hair aside, he began to slowly and
meticulously massage her back and shoulders. His hands slid across her
skin gently, with just the slightest bit of pressure. Rubbing his palms
in circles down her back, he felt her relax and arch slightly into his
hands. Leaning over, Nick ran his tongue across her skin, covering her
shoulders and back with his lips. He traced her spine down her back. The
tip of his nose barely scraped against her butt as he crawled backwards
to the end of the bed, stopping to nuzzle and place delicate kisses on
the back of Natalie's knees.
        When he reached the foot of the bed he massaged her feet gently.
        "Roll over Natalie." he spoke as he nudged her over.
        Natalie rolled over sheepishly, fighting the urge to cover
herself from Nick's intense stare. When he saw her blush he smiled
brightly at her.  He tried to turn his head away so she wouldn't be so
self-conscious but he wanted to stare at her more than anything in the
world, well almost anything. Slowly he slid his hands up her legs feeling
the exquisite curves of her muscles. Carefully he slid his hands over her
thighs and in between them nudging them apart. He placed small kisses on
her inner thighs. She could feel his breath caressing her skin as he
moved closer and closer to her pubic mound.
        First she felt Nick's hand graze her curls then become a constant
pressure, gently running his fingers through her pubic hair, teasing her
with his touch. Natalie's pushed up into his hand involuntarily. His
fingers found her clitoris and stroked it softly, eliciting a moan from
Natalie. Soon, she found he had replaced his fingers with his tongue and
lips, carefully tending to her. As his tongue entered her she writhed
underneath him in orgasm. Nick tasted her with earnest, enjoying the
reaction he was causing her. He could hear her heart racing, speeding his
existing desire for her. His hands found there way to her breasts,
tenderly caressing them, rolling her nipples between his fingers.
        Natalie's fingers intertwined in Nick's hair as he tended to her,
thrusting his tongue in and out of her mimicking future acts. Slowly he
ended his tasting, trailing small kisses up her body, pausing to tease
her nipples with his tongue and teeth. When Natalie opened her eyes he
was leaning over her smiling. Their lips met momentarily then Nick rolled
onto his back.
        Natalie breathed deeply for a moment then leaned up on her elbow
and looked down at Nick.
        "Your turn?" she asked as she started to unbutton his shirt.
Sliding her hands across his bare chest she pulled his shirt open
completely. Leaning close to him, she traced patterns down his chest with
her lips and tongue. Softly she teased his erect nipples with her tongue,
circling them slowly then sucking the tips ever so slightly. When she
felt Nick shiver she smiled inwardly. As she started to undo the zipper
on his jeans to release him, Nick suddenly shifted and Natalie found
herself underneath Nick. He sought her lips ferociously. In an effort to
keep from passing out from lack of oxygen, Nat pushed Nick away from her
slightly, moments later. He supported himself over her, staring down into
her eyes.
        "What's wrong?" he asked in a rough voice.
        "Nothing. I needed to take a breath before I passed out." she
replied pulling him down on top of her, reveling in the feel of his
weight upon her. As their lips and tongue dueled together, Nat's hands
wandered down Nick's body. She easily finished the task of unzipping his
fly and proceeded to slide his jeans and briefs down him. When she pushed
them as far as she could reach, Nick slid off her and removed his
clothing. He looked down at her a moment before he returned to his
position atop her.
        As Nick trailed kisses down her neck, he wedged his knee in
between her thighs, separating them. Taking the hint, Natalie opened
herself to him. Rising above her slightly, Nick positioned himself to
enter her. Nat looked up at him and the realization that they were going
to actually be making love, surprised her. Obviously her face gave away
her thoughts.
        "Are you okay Nat?" Nick asked, poised and ready to enter her.
        "Yeah, I was just thinking that I have waited a long time for
this. I love you." she slid her hand down and guided Nick into her. She
lavished in the feel of him entering her. When he pulled out and started
to thrust in earnest Nat could feel the burning embers of her soul being
set ablaze. Soon she was lost in the waves feeling caused by her mounting
orgasm. She was luxuriating in the sensations she was feeling that Nat
did not notice that Nick had fallen on top of her and was suckling her
neck. When she felt the scrape of his teeth against her neck, she was
snapped, rudely, out of her enjoyment.
        Nick's head popped up to look at her, his blue eyes turned into
glowing orbs. She heard the raspy hiss moments before his teeth sunk into
the pillow next to her head. Nat wrapped her arms and legs around Nick's
body as he shuddered and convulsed. She held him tightly until he was
still. Hoping that he could truly resist the bloodlust. She felt him take
a deep breath then release it, some of the tension disappearing from his
body. She held to him until he pulled away slightly. His eyes were blue
again and he was smiling. Nat could see blood on his lips from where he
bit his own lips. She reached up and ran her fingers across his lips
delicately removing the blood. She brought her finger tip to her lips and
licked the drop of blood off of it.
        "Mmm." she smiled at Nick then leaned up and kissed him as hard
as she could. He pulled away from her almost instantly.
        "You never answered me?" he said as he shifted his weight so that
he was not completely on top of her.
        "What?" she asked a bit confused.
        "I asked if you would marry me." he told her grinning.
        "Yes." she replied matching his grin.
        "I love you Natalie Lambert and don't ever forget it." he leaned
down and kissed her softly on the lips knowing that they would be
together forever.
