Author’s Notes: I recently posted a comment fic meme – stories mustn’t be longer than the length of a LJ comment, ie. 4,300 characters – on my personal journal and this has been written in response to Berry’s request. I went a little overboard with this one and it's way over the limit of 4,300 characters. Hope nobody minds! ;)

The weather was unseasonably warm but Haley James wasn’t complaining. Not in the slightest. The hotter the weather, the more chance there was of seeing him bare-chested; the perspiration on his skin glistening in the afternoon sun while his muscles popped and flexed as he carried out his work… his very physical work.

When her parents had informed her that she’d be home alone for Spring Break, she hadn’t minded too much since she saw them on a fairly regular basis. The thought of having the house to herself for a week actually felt pretty good after living in a house with five other people, although having grown up as one of six kids, she was pretty used to the drama that usually involved.

She wasn’t so happy, however, when they informed her that she’d be supervising some construction work in their absence. So much for her much needed peace and quiet, she’d thought to herself.

Haley’s annoyance disappeared the moment she set eyes on the contractor they’d hired. When she’d opened the door to him early on Monday morning, she’d felt the heat rise several degrees as she’d stood there staring at him.

Nathan Scott was the epitome of tall, dark and handsome and coupled with his gorgeous blue eyes and sexy smirk… She’d fallen head over heels for him!

They’d chatted and flirted a little… okay, a lot… during his breaks and she discovered that he’d set up his own construction company soon after leaving college, preferring to work for himself. She was definitely impressed and, if anything, it made him seem even sexier. A sudden vision of him driving a bulldozer while barking out orders to his staff had her shivering despite the heat.

The work her parents had hired him for mainly consisted of building a new wall in the backyard, as well as some roof repairs, and by the time the afternoon rolled around and the sun was at its hottest, he tended to strip down to his wife-beater or, like yesterday, strip off so he was topless. It had been on the tip of her tongue to ask if he wanted her to rub some sunscreen into his skin but she’d chickened out.

The wall was almost finished and with her parents being due home on Saturday, she knew her time was limited, even more so since she’d be leaving for school again.

Wearing her favourite baby blue halter-necked top and a pair of shorts with her hair piled messily on top of her head, she made her way out into the backyard, carrying two glasses of ice cold lemonade.

“I, uh, thought you might be thirsty,” Haley said, smiling as she approached him.

“I am,” he replied, taking one of the glasses from her and practically downing its contents in one go.

Watching his throat muscles work as he sucked down the beverage, she sunk her teeth into her bottom lip to stop herself from moaning and a second later, she blushed when he smirked at her, bending to place the now empty glass on the ground. Before she had a chance to say a word, his large hand was cupping the back of her head as he leaned down and seized her mouth in a deeply intense kiss.

Her breathing was heavy and ragged when he finally drew back from her but she somehow managed to keep her gaze locked on his.

“I’ve been wanting to do that from the first moment I saw you,” Nathan told her, his thumb rubbing lightly across her cheekbone.

“Really?” she whispered.

“Really. You don’t know how hard it’s been being this close to you all week and not doing anything about it. And I mean that literally.” He smirked.

This time, she lowered her gaze, feeling her face grow even warmer and figuring she probably looked as red as a tomato. Opening her mouth to speak, she gasped when he kissed her again, slipping his tongue inside to tangle wetly with her own. In that moment, she made a decision and breaking the kiss, she placed the drink she was still holding onto the floor before grabbing his hand and pulling him inside the house.

Closing the back door and locking it, she jumped into Nathan’s arms; her fingers tangling in his hair and raking along his scalp while their lips devoured each other. When he hoisted her up, she could feel his thick, hard length pressing into her and she undulated her hips against it, desperate to feel him inside her. When he planted her onto the kitchen counter, she helped him remove her shorts and panties before her own hands went straight to his belt.

Haley watched with rapt attention as he rolled on the condom he’d managed to grab from his wallet before his pants ended up around his knees and when he plunged into her a split second later, she moaned; the sounds growing louder and reverberating around the room as their passion escalated. God, she couldn’t remember anything ever having felt this good. Her fingers gripped the edge of the counter as she met him thrust for thrust, the base of his cock rubbing deliciously against her clit on every down-stroke.

Nathan tugged at the tie behind her neck, releasing her halter-top and baring her breasts to his hungry gaze, his hands roaming all over them, kneading and caressing the firm globes.

She cried his name when she climaxed, her fingernails curling into his shoulders, leaving little half-moons behind. The jolt of pleasure/pain had Nathan following suit and he buried his face into the crook of her neck when his orgasm rushed through him.

They remained intertwined for several long moments, their breathing slowly returning to normal before they reluctantly drew apart.

“So… uh…”

“Yeah,” Nathan mumbled. Pulling out of her, he turned his back as he removed the condom and dropped it into the nearby trash can. When he turned to face her, he saw Haley had started to get dressed. “Don’t!”

“What?” The look she gave him was one of confusion.

It was his turn to stutter as he said, “I, um… thought we could… maybe use the other condom I have in my wallet.”

Haley raised her eyebrows at that but couldn’t stop the smile she felt tugging at her lips. “Is that so?”

“Yeah,” he drawled, his confidence returning. “I mean, the job’s almost finished and you’ll be leaving for college so…”

“So?” she prompted.

“So, I figured we shouldn’t waste any more time.”

Twining her arms around his neck, she popped a kiss onto his lips before slanting her head to deepen it. “Mmm, you’re so right,” she agreed before adding, “And between my older brothers and sisters, I’m sure we’ll find more condoms upstairs.”

Picking her up off of the counter and placing her down, he laced their fingers together as he huskily whispered, “Lead the way.”
