Summary: My take on what might have happened after the cameras cut away in episode 309, ‘How A Resurrection Really Feels’.

Author’s Notes: This is written for and dedicated to Elise by way of a thank you for all of her gorgeous fanarts that she makes and which I’m forever snagging for my LiveJournal to use as headers. I hope you like this.

Thanks to the wonderful Brynne for her support and for beta-ing this for me.

Haley’s eyes remained fixed on Nathan’s as she closed the bedroom door and then walked over to where he sat on the edge of the bed. Taking a seat beside him, she placed her hand in his and watched as their fingers automatically entwined. A quiet sigh escaped her lips at the familiar feeling of her hand in his much larger one.

Glancing down at their hands and then looking back up into his wife’s large brown eyes, Nathan slowly inched towards her and closed the gap between them. Covering her mouth with his, he kissed her softly; reminiscent of the kiss they had shared just a few moments earlier. He brought his fingers up to her cheek, tracing the bone lightly with his thumb before cradling the side of her face in his palm so he could hold her steady as he deepened the kiss.

Her lips automatically parted to allow his tongue access into her mouth and she felt a shiver running from the top of her head all the way down to the tips of her toes. While things had been steadily improving between them these past few weeks, she still hadn’t dared to let herself hope that she would once again be kissed by him. That had still felt so far away at times.

Gently releasing her hand from his, Haley wrapped her arms around his neck and brought his body even closer to hers as she felt his strong arms wrap around her waist doing the same thing. Without the kiss breaking for even a split-second, she suddenly found herself sitting across his lap as his hold tightened on her that little bit more.

When the kiss did end, she heard him whisper “I’ve missed you” against her neck and she felt a smile tugging at her lips. “I’ve missed you too, Nathan,” she whispered back.

Nathan again looked into her eyes and saw the truth clearly evident in them and he smiled back at her. His fingers found the zipper of her jacket and he pulled it down before slowly pushing the garment off her shoulders and he watched her as she slid her arms out of the sleeves, tossing it to the floor afterwards. He could feel his fingers literally itching to touch her golden skin that was now revealed to him and he slowly slid his hand up and down her bare arm, marvelling at the goosebumps that suddenly appeared.

“Are you cold?” he teased and he watched her shake her head.

“No.” The smile on her face had widened and leaning forward, she pressed her lips against his for a moment before drawing back slightly and rubbing her nose against his.

“Good.” Without another word and with her still held firmly in his embrace, he stood up and turned so he could lay her gently down on his bed. Crawling on top of her, he covered her body with his and captured her mouth in a deep kiss.

Their tongues tangled wetly as their bodies pressed tightly together and their hands wandered all over each other. Breaking the kiss when the need for air became an issue, Nathan buried his face in the nook between Haley’s neck and shoulder and breathed in her familiar, comforting scent for a long moment before he once again took her lips in another passionate kiss. Before it could spiral too out of control, he broke the kiss and eased himself off of her body before getting up and standing at the foot of the bed.

He couldn’t tear his eyes away from the sight of her lying on his bed; her eyes were sparkling and her lips were all kiss swollen thanks to him. He pulled his T-shirt off over his head and held it in his hands for a half-moment before throwing it to the side.

Haley’s eyes were riveted on him when he stripped off his grey T-shirt and she couldn’t stop herself from licking her lips in anticipation. God, he looked so good…the time he’d spent at High Flyers had definitely made a difference to his physique, she couldn’t help but notice. Her lips curved into a small smile when she noticed the ring hanging from the chain around his neck and as he approached her, she reached up and grabbed it, pulling him down to her and a second later his lips were reattached to hers.

Her hand in his, he pressed it against the mattress as their fingers intertwined and their hands were clasped tightly together. His free hand roamed up and down her side, touching her over her vest top before slowly slipping beneath it to feel her silky soft skin. Moving it higher, his thumb reached the side of her breast and he moved it back and forth in a circular motion. Shifting slightly, he pushed himself up a bit so that he could move his hand over a little and touch more of her breast. The resulting moan she released into his mouth had him smiling against her lips.

“More, Nathan…please…” Gently removing her hand from his, she moved it to the hem of her top and started pulling it upwards, not wanting to wait any longer to have his skin touching hers. It had been so long and she desperately needed to feel that again.

Together, they quickly divested her of her top and neither had any clue where it landed, nor did they care. As soon as it was off, Nathan’s weight pressed her firmly into the mattress and it felt so good…so right to both of them. While his fingers toyed with the lace of her bra, she felt an object pressing into the lower portion of her chest and she shifted to try and dislodge it.

As they kissed again, Nathan felt her squirming beneath him and opening his eyes, it took him a second to see the look on her face was one of discomfort and he frowned. “What’s wrong? H-Have you changed your mind?”

“What? No…god no, Nathan. I want this…I want you…more than anything.”

“Then why do you look so uncomfortable?”

Slipping her hand between them, she gently pulled the chain from where it was trapped between their bodies and held it up so he could see it. “Uh…your ring was pressing into me.”

Breathing out a sigh of relief, he shook his head. “Sorry about that. Here, let me take it off.”

“No!”

“Why not? It’s hurting you and--”

“I just want you to keep it on, that’s all.” She could feel the tears prickling behind her eyes and she glanced away from his intense gaze.

His fingers on her cheek turned her face back to his and lowering his head, he kissed her softly. “I’ve got an idea,” he told her, moving onto his side and slipping the chain over his head. Unfastening the clasp, he slid the ring off the chain and placed it in her palm. Leaning over, he dropped the chain onto his nightstand before coming back to lie on his side next to her.

“Nathan, wha--”

Instead of answering her verbally, he held his left hand up in front of her and gave her what he hoped was a reassuring smile. Seeing her hesitate as she slowly brought the ring closer, he nodded. “Put it back on me,” he told her in a husky whisper.

Biting her bottom lip, Haley placed the gold band at the top of his ring finger, sliding it down until it was back in its rightful place and entwining their fingers, she brought his hand up to her mouth and pressed a kiss against it. Looking into his eyes through her tear-filled ones, she gave him a crooked smile before placing her free hand at the back of his neck and pulling him back on top of her.

The feel of his firm, bare chest pressing against hers felt amazing and when he shifted his position a little, she couldn’t help but moan at the delicious friction his movement caused. With his hand still in hers, she placed it on the front opening of her bra and gave him a shy smile.

Keeping his eyes locked on hers, he popped the clasp and moved the two sides of her bra apart so he had an unrestricted view of her breasts. Releasing his hand from hers, he lightly stroked his fingers over one of the soft mounds and couldn’t help smirking at the little gasp that escaped from her throat. As his fingers touched her reverently, he leaned in closer and took her mouth in another searing kiss before kissing his way down her throat and neck, sucking a patch of skin into his mouth, determined to mark it as his.

“Oh…oh god…” she cried out.

Disentangling her fingers from his, she fisted the soft bed covers tightly as she gave herself over to the sweet sensation of Nathan’s hot and talented mouth. A part of her felt like she should pinch herself in that moment to make sure this was really happening and wasn’t a figment of her overactive imagination. Her moans and cries got louder as he worked his way further down and his lips latched onto one of her nipples and began nibbling and sucking on the sensitive little nub.

“You like that?”

“Uh huh,” she replied, nodding frantically. Her hand relaxed its grip on the bed and came to wrap around the back of his neck. Running her fingers across his recently shaved head, she giggled at the soft bristly feeling.

“What’s so funny?” he asked when he drew back from where he had been kissing her jaw-line.

“Nothing. Just getting used to the feel of your buzz cut,” she replied, the laughter still evident in her voice. The laughter quickly turned into another moan when he lowered his head to hers and licked her lips before slipping his tongue between them.

The next time he broke the kiss, Nathan rested his forehead against hers and once he’d caught his breath, he said, “I love you, Hales…I need you to know that.”

“I love you too…I always have and I always will.” Tilting her head back, she placed a kiss on his forehead followed by one on the tip of his nose before finally kissing his lips. She was just about to pull back when he sucked her bottom lip into his mouth and grazed it with his teeth.

“I want you so much…” He panted harshly, their breaths mingling together.

“God…me too…” Slipping her hands between them, she began tugging at his belt and once she had managed to unfasten it, she began working on unzipping his jeans.

He chuckled at her eagerness and when she pouted, he dropped a kiss onto her lips. “There’s no rush, baby … We’ve got all night.” Placing his hands onto the zipper of her jeans, he slowly inched it down and together they made short work of removing them, together with her sneakers, quickly followed by his own pants.

Pushing herself up, Haley shrugged out of the bra that was still hanging from her arms and she threw it onto the floor. She felt herself blushing at being almost completely naked in front of him after so long. The last time she had been in this bedroom she had been wearing her tank top and pajama pants but now…

“You’re beautiful,” Nathan told her, interrupting her thoughts and inching towards her, he brushed his lips against hers before retreating. Covering her body with his once more, he rested his forehead against hers and looked into her eyes, smiling at her to reassure her that this was what he wanted too. Feeling her shapely legs wrap around his waist had his smile widening and lowering himself further, he ground their lower bodies together, eliciting another sigh of relief from both of them.

Slanting his mouth over hers, he kissed her soundly while his hands took on a life of their own and wandered all over her upper body. He ran them up and down her arms before slipping them between them so he could cup and knead her firm breasts. Tugging on her nipples had the desired effect and her mouth parted even wider as she gasped at the sensation and he thrust his tongue inside her mouth to explore every part of it.

His body was literally buzzing with need for his wife and his arousal was at a fever pitch. The feel of her fingernails scraping along the back of his neck and down his back was sending his temperature soaring through the roof and he trailed hot, wet, open-mouthed kisses down her throat.

Haley felt her breath catch in her throat as she revelled in all the different sensations she was experiencing. His large, slightly calloused hands were kneading her breasts expertly while his tongue, teeth and lips suckled and nibbled on her flesh and she tightened her legs even further around his waist and her lips formed a perfect ‘o’ as she felt him grind against her that little bit more.

Her hand found his and moved it to the waistband of her panties and opening her eyes, she found his staring back at her. The intense look he was giving her sent shivers up and down her spine and she let out an involuntary moan. The next thing she knew he had ripped her underwear off and was kissing her senseless while two of his fingers slipped inside of her, causing her hips to rise up off the bed. Their tongues tangled and their teeth clacked as each fought for control.

Bringing her hands down as far as she could reach, she began pushing at the waistband of his black boxers and tilting her hips back, she brought her feet into play too in her desperation to have him fully naked.

Nathan paused from what he was doing to her for a short moment so he could remove his boxers and as soon as he’d kicked them off, he returned to her warm embrace but, as an afterthought, he flipped them so she was now on top. Pulling her forward so her body was lying flush against his, he pushed himself up and rested his weight on his arms which were bent at the elbows.

Haley’s long hair created a curtain around them and lowering her head slightly, she suckled his bottom lip between her own and grazed over it with her teeth. Her hand came up and she ran her fingers along his jaw; his late-in-the-day stubble prickling the pads of her fingertips.

“I’ve missed you so much,” she whispered, cupping his cheek in her palm and caressing his face gently.

“I’ve missed you too,” he told her as his hands moved down to her hips and gripped them tightly, forcing her lower body down as he thrust up.

She moaned at the feeling of his slick flesh sliding along her wet and highly sensitive tissue. “I need you…now!”

He nodded frantically and shifting slightly, he was just about to slip inside when she stopped him.

“We…um…need something.”

“Huh?” His lust-addled mind couldn’t work out what she was saying.

“Protection. Have you got any?”

“Oh! Uh…yeah. There should be something in my nightstand.” Seeing her raised eyebrow, he quickly added, “They’re what I brought with me when I moved back in here.”

Releasing the breath she had been holding, she nodded. “Okay. I just thought…”

“I know, but I--”

Placing her finger over his lips, she stopped him from continuing. “It’s okay, you don’t have to say anything.” Softly kissing him, she then leaned over to open the drawer of his nightstand and she laughed out loud when she felt the sucking kiss he gave her tummy which tickled.

“Hey!”

“Sorry, I couldn’t resist,” he said, not sounding sorry at all. “How come we need to use something? I thought you were…”

Opening the drawer, she rummaged around in it until her hand felt the box of condoms. She grabbed it and removed a couple of the foil wrapped discs and tossed them onto the bed before putting the box away and closing the drawer.

Smiling down at him, she answered his question. “I was but there was no point being on it when…uh…I wasn’t with you…” Her voice trailed off.

Linking their fingers, Nathan stroked his thumb across the back of her hand as he heard her words. He was already reassured that her having left had been solely for her music and not for any other reason but hearing her tell him again made his heart feel even lighter in his chest.

Pulling her down, he ran his free hand through her long tresses, savouring the silky feel of the strands. Cupping the back of her neck, he drew her forward so he could feel her lips against his once more. One of the things he’d missed most while she had been gone, and even when she had returned, was kissing her. And now he had her back he was determined to make up for lost time.

As his mouth devoured hers, Haley felt around for the condoms she had dropped onto the bed and she smiled against his lips when her hand came into contact with one of the discs. Breaking the kiss for a moment, she quickly ripped open the foil wrapper with her teeth and removed the latex ring. She scooted back a little from where she was sitting and smirked at the groan that escaped from him.

Her hand stroked him from base to tip a couple of times before she placed the condom on him and smoothed it down his erection which was literally throbbing in her hand. Moving forward again, she rubbed against him and giggled at the noises he was making.

“You’re going to be the death of me,” he told her as he gripped her hips and held her steady.

“Really? Well, we don’t want that now, do we?” Lifting herself up slightly, she took him in hand and placed him at her entrance. She teased him by just slipping the head inside and circling her hips before slowly pushing down to take him inside.

“H-Hales…please…”

Covering one of his hands with her own, she brought it up to her breast and silently told him what she wanted and she found he was more than happy to comply with her request. His large hand palmed her breast while his other one kneaded and then caressed her butt.

“Please what?” she choked out as she took him inside just a little bit more.

“Oh god…y-you know what…”

“I’m not sure I do,” she teased. Her body was screaming for her to take him in deeper yet she wanted to delay the moment, knowing it would be even sweeter when it finally happened.

“Yes, you do,” he gritted out between clenched teeth. Placing his hands back on her hips, he pulled her down just as he thrust up and a deep growl tore through his throat as she engulfed him completely. He tried to keep his eyes open but the sensations were too strong and he squeezed them shut in an attempt to retain control.

Her sheath fluttered around him as he held her still, savouring the moment for as long as possible. It had felt like an eternity since they had last joined and part of him was terrified that this was all a dream.

“Nathan…oh…oh god…”

Hearing her voice moaning his name had his eyes slowly opening and looking up into her face, he saw the look of pure contentment etched on it and his lips curved up into a smile. His hips ground against hers and his teeth bit into his bottom lip as he kept his eyes firmly fixed on his wife’s. Relaxing his hold on her hips, he began moving her up and down his shaft and soon she was aiding him; her hands braced on his chest with her nails digging in. The mix of pleasure and pain sent an electrical jolt through him and he felt himself pulse deep within her.

When she picked up the pace he deliberately slowed his and gripped her hips again in an attempt to slow her down.

“Nathan!” she cried out in frustration.

“What’s the matter, babe?”

“Faster…”

“What’s the magic word?” he teased as he shifted slightly and brushed against a particularly sensitive spot causing her to gasp loudly.

Leaning forward over him, she licked a path around his lips before sucking his bottom lip into her mouth and nibbling on it; all the while keeping her gaze locked on his. “Please Nathan…I need more…”

She took both of his hands in hers and again placed them on her breasts and she threw her head back when he began kneading them and occasionally pinching her sensitive nipples. Her entire body felt like a livewire and she never wanted the feeling to end. Her eyes roamed all over his hard, firm body and she grazed her fingernails along his abs and lower stomach, following the trail of fine hair leading to his groin.

Haley cried out when he suddenly flipped them so he was on top and she felt him slide even deeper inside her. His mouth latched onto hers and he kissed her with all the passion he had within him. Their skin glistened with a fine sheen of sweat as their overheated bodies writhed together in a mass of tangled limbs.

His tongue mimicked what his lower body was doing to her and he moaned into her mouth when he felt her fingertips dig into his ass in an attempt to bring him even closer to her.

Her head fell back as she gulped in mouthfuls of air and his name left her lips in a chant. His mouth latched onto one of her nipples and he grazed his teeth against it causing her to shout out in pleasure. In that moment, she wished he hadn’t shaved his head because she desperately wanted to grab a fistful of his hair. Instead, she had to make do with running her hands over his shoulders and back and gripping his flesh.

Nathan could sense her orgasm wasn’t too far away and he wanted to come with her. Shifting his position, he made sure to hit her clit with his pubic bone on every down-stroke and he knew he’d hit the jackpot when she practically sobbed with the intensity of what she was feeling.

“Squeeze me, Hales…” he commanded.

Opening her eyes, she flexed her internal muscles as requested and watched his eyes almost roll into the back of his head at the sensation she had just caused him. She did it again and couldn’t help giggling at the look on his face. The laugh soon turned into a deep moan when he thrust even deeper inside of her and she swore he’d just bumped her cervix.

She raked her fingernails across his scalp and down the back of his neck before pulling him up so their faces were level with each other’s. Their foreheads rested together as their mouths fused and their tongues duelled.

As the passion escalated, they broke the kiss and Nathan buried his face in the crook of Haley’s neck, sucking and biting on her salty flesh as his body pounded into hers over and over again.

Intertwining their fingers, they gripped each other’s hand as they felt their orgasms fast approaching. Her thighs tightened around his hips even more and she tilted back a bit more so he could sink deeper and she screamed with pleasure. With her eyes squeezed tightly shut, all she could see were brightly coloured stars exploding into the night sky.

Her climax triggered his own, and he chanted her name as he emptied himself inside of her. They stayed joined for as long as they could as they slowly caught their breaths and their bodies calmed down.

Nathan knew he needed to get up and dispose of the condom and after pressing a soft kiss to Haley’s lips, he reluctantly withdrew from her and got up from the bed. She couldn’t take her eyes off him as he walked into his bathroom and a few moments later he returned to her.

Her smile matched his when he pulled the covers back on his bed and helped her get underneath them. Climbing into bed, he gathered her in his arms and held her close. Her head rested on his shoulder and her fingers trailed up and down his chest while his fingers played with her hair.

“That was…”

“Amazing?” he interrupted.

“To put it mildly,” she said, a light blush colouring her cheeks.

“How can you blush after we just did that?” he teased with a chuckle.

Burying her face in the space between his neck and shoulder, she smiled against his skin. He heard her mumble, “Shut up,” which caused him to laugh louder.

After a moment, she grew serious. “We still have a lot to talk about, Nathan.”

Turning his head to meet her gaze, he nodded. “I know but can we do that tomorrow. Let’s just enjoy tonight and--”

“Why? Is everything going to be different tomorrow? Are we going to pretend that this didn’t happen?”

“What!? No, no Hales, that’s not what I meant. I just meant that we can deal with the heavier stuff tomorrow. If I wasn’t serious about what happened between us tonight I wouldn’t have put my ring back on. I-I wouldn’t have given you false hope.”

Haley breathed a sigh of relief and snuggled in closer to him. “I’m sorry, I just…”

“I know. I’m sorry I made you doubt this. I meant it when I told you I love you. That’s never going to change.”

“For me either.”

“Good,” he said before taking her mouth in a hot, passionate kiss.

Rolling on top of her, he deepened the kiss while his hands wandered up and down every available piece of skin he could touch.

“Oh…I’ve definitely got to make a doctor’s appointment tomorrow,” she said as his tongue licked a path down her throat.

“Why?”

“Because I hate condoms,” she stated, feeling her cheeks heat up at her admission. “I…uh…I miss feeling you without any barriers.”

Inching up a bit, he smiled against her lips. “Me too. But for the time being…” He held up the stray condom he found under the pillow and they both laughed.

“Oh, they’ll do just fine for now,” she whispered before rolling him over onto his back and snatching the disc from his hand.

The sound of harsh breathing coupled with moans and sighs echoed throughout the room as the young couple came together over and over again that night. They still had a long way to go in resolving all of their issues, but they both knew that they had made good progress tonight. The main thing was that they loved each other and hopefully the rest would soon fall back into place.
