NOTE: The characters of Nick
Knight and Natalie Lambert are the properties of the TPTB. They are
about to embark on an sensual
adventure that, hopefully, will end their torment. Is this a dream?
Maybe, maybe not<EG>.
You'll have to read to find out!
This story takes place about
a month after "A Night In Question". Nick is still taking time off work
to recover his memory. This
story is purely an indulgence into the romantic realm. It has no
plot
whatsoever. As I have been
constantly reminded, "We don't need no stankin' plot!" This is an ADULT
N&N story. The song, "Take
My Breath Away", is from the soundtrack "Top Gun" and is performed
by the group, Berlin.
Maybe some day I'll come up with an actual plot. Until then, I guess this
will
have to do. Hope you
enjoy!

Natalie sat at the black lacquered kitchen table trying to concentrate
on the lastest
batch of Nick's test results
while he restlessly paced the room. "Nick, please stop that
pacing. It's been a
long day for me. I'm tired and listening to your constant thumping is
not helping me."
"Do you have to do that tonight, Nat?" asked Nick. "I thought you
were coming over
to talk, watch a movie, anything...Can't
you do that some other time?"
"Nick, I've wanted to monitor the changes in you since your recovery and
bout of
amnesia. It's a unique
opportunity to study their effects on your vampire physiology,"
replied the dispassionate
persona of Dr. Lambert while still studiously perusing her lab
notes.
Suddenly, the note book was ripped from her hands. "Natalie, what's
wrong?
You've hardly talked to me
this past month. And the times that you have, you've only
asked how I was; if I were
feeding properly; or if my memories have returned yet. And
the way you jab me with those
needles all of the time...." said Nick as he subconsciously
rubbed his arm. "Can't we
take one night off, just be friends. Please?" implored Nick as
he walked over and gently
massaged Nat's shoulder.
"Really Nick, if you don't want to do this, I'll just head home. I'm tired.
I know
you're bored. You're
not working. Maybe it's time you went back to the precinct..."
droned Dr. Lambert once more,
not meeting his gaze.
"You're right, Nat. I am bored....and LONELY!" Nick reached around
and forced
Nat's chin up to face him.
"I've missed you. Please stay, just for a little while?"
"Nick, if you want to talk, just talk." came Nat's indifferent reply as
she pulled
her chin out of his grasp
and stood up from the table. She moved toward the cupboard
in search of a glass to get
some water. Her mouth had suddenly gone dry. The images
of "that night" danced across
her vision. His soft kisses, the gentle caress upon her
cheek, his hands upon her
bare flesh...Nat closed her eyes and shook her head to banish
the tormenting memories.
Nick's eyes clouded in frustration as he watched her retreat to the far
side of the
kitchen. He walked across
the loft; flipped on the stereo; and leaned against the frame
of shelves on which the stereo
speakers rested. After staring several moments at the
floor, he looked up to see
that Natalie was still bent over the sink, her glass of water
clutched in a tight grip in
the hand resting on the counter. From the distance he asked,
"Why HAVE you been avoiding
me, Nat?"
Still facing the sink, Nat stammered, "I....I haven't Nick. I...thought
you needed
some time. You did ask
me to bear with you, didn't you? I'm giving you what you asked
for...I told you before, I
don't have all the answers."
"You're running from me, Nat," stated Nick. "You know it and I know it.
Don't try
to feign a casual indifference.
It won't work, not anymore. Too much has happened
between us this past year
to deny what we feel for each other. We both know that we
aren't 'just friends' anymore.
Our relationship is much more than that. You, yourself
have admitted as much."
"Nick we've talked about this. It won't work this way..."
"HOW DO YOU KNOW?" roared Nick. "Are you afraid to try Nat? That
night
we...."
"I KNOW what happened 'that night'", Nick. I don't need to be reminded!"
Natalie whirled around to
face him across the expanse of the loft, her face reflecting
the ravages of her loss.
"'That night',...I'm sorry, I took a gamble and lost, a loss I
have yet to come to terms
with. Do you know what it did to me to have to tell you what
you were? I thought we had
finally won, that we could love each other the way we both
wanted; but instead I almost
ruined everything..." Nat abruptly stopped her emotional
tirade, trying to hide the
tears that were threatening to fall. She bowed her head
letting her hair fall over
her face, and started for her coat that was flung over the
back of the leather couch.
But before she could retrieve her coat, Nick was beside her.
"Natalie, we've got to do something about this soon. It's beginning
to tear us
apart. I don't want
to lose you..." whispered Nick as he stood behind Natalie and
enfolded her in his arms.
He nuzzled his way into her hair and found the rapid pulse
beating at the side of her
neck. Gently, he kissed the pulsating vessel, rubbing his lips
ever so lightly across its
slight protrusion above her skin. Goose bumps immediately
appeared in response to the
tickling sensations teasing her flesh.
"Natalie, stay with me tonight," pleaded Nick. "I want you so badly."
"Nick, don't." Natalie's voice caught in her throat. "It won't work this
way."
"I can't help the way I feel Nat. All of those dreams I have of you,
of us being
together....," Nick's low
husky tones accentuating his growing sensual desires. "Last
month when I thought I was
human, when I touched you, kissed you, I can't get them
out of my mind."
"Nick, you're still rediscovering yourself. You only know a
part of what you
are..."
"I KNOW what I am, Nat," hissed Nick. "I am reminded every time I open
that
refridgerator and drink that
tasteless, lifeless swill!"
"Then you must understand the dangers." Nat struggled to free herself
but Nick
held her fast, unwilling to
let her go.
"Nat, why can't you just let go of your fear, like that night you brought
me home
from the hospital...." Nick
began to run his fingers through her hair as he easily held
Natalie in the grip of his
other arm.
"Nick, that was different," murmured Nat as she unconsciously leaned her
head
back on his shoulder. "You
thought you WERE human, you didn't feel the vampire."
"That's right Nat, remember that! Remember the part of me that emerged
to
consciousness wasn't a blood
sucking animal. It was a MAN, the human part of me that
knew instinctively what you
were to me! The vampire never emerged until it grew
hungry and needed to feed.
The only time I saw it, or felt it, before then was in my
dream, Nat. Have I told
you about my dream that night, Nat?" Nick raised a hand to
Natalie's breast, cupping
its fullness in his large hand.
Natalie gasped at the intimacy. "Nick, stop tormenting me," she implored.
"Tormenting YOU? Do you know what *I* have endured!" growled Nick
as he
whirled Natalie around to
face him. His forceful grip restrained her; his steely
fingers biting into her forearms
like he did the "that day" when he, scorched by the
rising sun, demanded that
she tell him what was wrong with him. "You are on my mind
every minute of every hour!
That dream! It whispers to me every day in my sleep!"
"Nick, please. Your hurting my arms," said Nat, bowing her head, not wanting
to
see the anguish in his eyes.
Seeing the red marks rising on her skin, Nick immediately
eased his grip upon her.
Natalie took advantage of his distraction and broke free,
running for the door.
She couldn't bear this agony anymore. She wanted him too, but
she was afraid...afraid of
making more mistakes with him, of losing him.
Before she could reach the huge metal door of the elevator, Nick flew to
block
her path. She tried to back
away and dart around him, but again he was too fast. Her
mortal reflexes were no match
the vampire. He grabbed her and pulled her hard
against his rigid body; kissing
her savagely, passionately; prying her lips open with his
tongue and forcing her to
respond. She wimpered once as she fought for breath. Nick
continued barraging her mouth
by capturing her chin, gently pulling it down to allow
him a deeper exploration with
his tongue. Natalie's body fought to keep the weakness
at bay, struggling to stay
upright as Nick continued his lingual assault. She was finally
forced to rest her full weight
against him as she surrendered in his embrace.
Abruptly, Nick broke off the kiss to savagely whisper in her ear, "I'll
tell you my
dream, Nat. Listen very
carefully." Nick nibbled the shell of her ear. Then, he
continued on; raining kisses
along her jawline before stopping to run his now
descended fangs carefully
along the exposed expanse of Natalie's throat without
breaking through her heated
flesh.
"You were standing nude. I was dressed in my robe, walking across
the room
behind you when I saw, no
sensed, you in the room. I was drawn toward you. You were
facing away from me. I couldn't
see your face, but I felt your arousal radiate from
your exquisite body.
I wanted to run my hands all over you...feel the warmth of your
skin blushing in passion.
I put my arms around you and started kissing your bare
shoulder, moving upwards to
the side of your neck....like this."
Nick's fantasy became reality as he spun Natalie around and held her against
his
chest. He pulled her
blue silk shirt from the waistband of her jeans and began
unbuttoning it. He eased the
garment from her slender shoulders and threw it hastily to
the ground. He kissed her
bare shoulder, traveling upwards to the side of her neck as
his fingers combed through
Nat's soft auburn waves. Natalie inhaled sharply as his
cool caressing lips touched
her heated flesh. The tempest of her desire rose up and
held her in the thrall of
his low seductive voice, it's husky resonance ensnaring and
subduing her will, enticing
it to act in accordance to his own yearning. As her resolve
crumbled, so too did
her desire to thwart him any longer.
"You asked me to take you in that dream. You BEGGED me to take you! I can
feel
your passion rising within
you even now, Nat. I can smell your arousal, the scent of
your readiness to mate with
me. You want me, Nat, and I want you fiercely; but there is
only one way we can be together.
I can pleasure and arouse you in ways that will drive
you wild with need. I can
make you beg me to possess you. And I will, my beautiful one,
I will..." Nick's seductive
voice played havoc with Natalie's composure, she began to
tremble violently. Nick
moved to her other shoulder and micmiced his earlier
tantalizaion. He reached
around and cupped Natalie's breasts through her scanty lace
bra, running his thumbnails
lightly over her nipples encased in the gauzy material.
Natalie arched upward and
moaned in sensual delight.
"You have to trust me, go slowly with me...Do you remember those exact
words you
spoke to me?" said Nick in
between the feather soft kisses he planted on her cheeks
and brow.
"Yes, I remember," came her breathless reply.
"Do you also remember what happened 'that night' after I kissed you, fondled
you,
petted you? We were getting
very passionate, very intimate. I had your naked torso in
my arms, I caressed your bare
flesh....then you suddenly pulled away from me, telling me
that we needed to wait.
It was all happening too quickly, too soon. You said that I
needed time to remember things
properly, make decisions for myself based on facts and
not get carried away by desire.
You didn't want me to regret what was happening
between us and at the time
I accepted that.
But then came that dream, that beautiful, sensuous dream! In it, you begged
me to
bring you across. At
the time, in the dream, I did not immediately feel the presence of
the vampire. You were on fire,
wild and erotic. When you pleaded with me to take you,
I felt a dark part of myself
rise up. I wanted to possess you, to love you and be inside
of you. It struck me that
*I* hadn't removed my clothes to make love to you properly. I
didn't realize that I COULDN'T
make love to you like that, that I wasn't human. But that
dark part of me screamed with
its need for fulfillment, to join with you! It understood
your request to 'bring you
across'. Finally, I could stand no more and I took you.....WE
took you, Nat.
You made such glorious mewling sounds when I fed from you. They only inflamed
my desire further. You were
inside me, you touched the heart of my soul. I pulled you
down to the floor....then
I startled awake. I couldn't believe my dream could be so
bizzare, yet so sensous.
Taking your blood released my orgasm....YOU drove me to
heights I've never known..."
In the background a seductive song played on the radio....
Watching every motion
In my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
"Do you see my dilemma now, Nat?" he asked kissing her softly on the lips
while
his hands wandered over body,
coming to rest lightly on her hips. He pulled her against
him and nibbled her neck,
always returning to that one pulse point that seemed to
pleasure her so very much.
She inhaled sharply everytime he suckled her there. Her
hand came up to entangle within
his hair, forcing his head down to exert more pressure
on this erotic area.
Watching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
Turning and returning
To some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say
(My Love)
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Nick held Natalie tightly in his arms, swaying both their bodies gently
with rythm
of the song. "I want
to consummate our relationship, Nat," he whispered in her ear.
"Trust me, my love. Trust
me to go slowly. Trust me enough to love you just a little...Don't
be afraid to try."
Through the hour glass I saw
you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I
called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today
I am unafraid
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
Natalie was completely overwhelmed by the rush of emotion. She couldn't
think
properly. She wanted
him so desperately, but still she hesitated to say the words he
longed to hear.
"I'll stop if you want me to, WHEN you want me to," murmured Nick as he
trailed
kisses through her auburn
tresses. "Please, Nat! I can't live with this horrible
emptiness, this fugue state
of existence. I just want to touch, and taste, and feel alive
again. I want to feel alive
in you! I want to join with you, your passion, your fire, your...."
Nick paused briefly, overcome
by the emotional storm gathering within him, "your love
for me."
Watching every motion
In this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there's a love in
flames
Turning and returning

"I know you love me, Nat. Say it," coaxed Nick
"I...I.." stammered Natalie, her composure now completely shattered. Nick's
hands
continued their tormenting
seduction. They fondled her contracted nipples, tracing circles
around them and pinching them.
Suddenly, he ripped her bra away. Both hands massaged
each soft swelling mound.
Natalie felt her self become wet. Nick moved his hands down
to the waistband of her jeans
and pushed them off her hips to mid-thigh. He tried the
same with her undies, but
he grew impatient as they entangled in her jeans. So, he ripped
them away as well and threw
them to the floor to join the other shredded garments.
Now, with all of her feminine secrets revealed, Nick slid his left hand
up and down
the inside of her thigh and
then upward to entangle his fingers in the burnished triangle
that hid her womanhood. He
ran a finger along the outer fold of her labia then parted
them to find the trigger to
ignite her budding passion.
Natalie stiffened as she felt his penetration into her moist folds.
Instinctively, her
hips began to move against
his flesh penetrating hers, creating a delicious friction. The
muscles of her vagina tightened
to entrap his fingers within her. Nick had inserted two
fingers within her now.
He pushed them deeply up into her until he felt the distinctive
pattern of musculature that
he sought. He thrust inside her vagina, exerting a gentle but
firm pressure while moving
slowly in and out.
"SAY IT," he implored, "I NEED to hear you say that you love me, Nat. Tell
me you
want this as much as I do."
Nick moved his right hand around and placed it beneath the
palm of his left hand. His
fingers sought and found the hood of her clitoris. He began to
rub against it, teasing it
to full erection. Natalie cried out in pleasure, but did not resist
him. He began a circular,
grinding motion upon her clit, a movement synchronized with
that of his left buried deep
with in her. Faster and faster each hand moved upon and
within her.
"Oh God, Nick. I WANT YOU!" she screamed in sexual frustration, desperate
to
find her climax. But
Nick kept her on the edge until she uttered the words he so
desperately wanted to hear.
Her breathing was ragged now. Her hips slammed against
his hands. He increased
the pressure within her and pushed harder, upward into her
slick vagina. Natalie's
head thrashed against Nick's shoulder, her breathing fast and
labored, her expression contorted
as she suffered the agonizing passion blazing
within her. She begged
for her release, her hands moving to cover Nick's, imploring
his hands to move in the way
she needed. Natalie rubbed her body against his. She
lifted her face so that she
could reach his jawline where she ran her lips across its
hard prominence to continue
down the side of his neck. Finally, Nick saw that she
could bear no more and ended
her torment. He captured her lips in a fierce, possessive
kiss as he furiously flicked
his thumb across her clit and tipped her orgasm. As she
came, she pulled her lips
from beneath his plundering mouth and cried out her love for
him.
Nick felt Natalie's vagina spasm as her orgasm hit. Her muscles contracted
in
wild, undulating waves about
his fingers as her hips moved in a sychronous rhythm.
Nick shuddered as he heard
the words of love finally pass his lover's lips. His control
slipped..
He quickly picked Natalie up and laid her across the nearby leather chair,
her
rump on its arm. He
removed her shoes and her jeans. He knelt between her parted
thighs and grabbed her ass.
Before the waves of her first orgasm passed, he delved
his tongue within her, holding
it rigid as it penetrated into her. He tasted her and his
own desire soared out of control.
He swirled his tongue around her clit, licked at the
inner folds of her labia.
Nat struggled to keep her legs open to him, fighting the need
to lock her legs about his
head. He felt so good inside her. Nick began to suck
rythmically on her clitoral
hood while fully pressing his tongue against it. Natalie's
pelvic muscles tightened,
she could feel the heat build, ready to erupt in another mind
shattering orgasm.
"Nick, I'm going to .....I need you so much!" she moaned. Nick began
darting the
tip of his tongue across her
clitoris. Natalie screamed as her body spasmed once, then
twice. Natalie sat up
on her elbows and her head fell back as the forceful power of her
orgasm raged, her face
grimacing as excruciating pleasure claimed every neural
response in her body.
She arched her back and pushed against his mouth, screaming for
him to take her. The vampire
surged forth with golden eyes and bared fangs as he
witnessed the glory
of her body writhing in a frenzy that he had brought about. He
wanted her so badly. He plunged
his fangs into the pliant, tender flesh of her innerthigh....
she was inside him and he
burned.....he burned. The essence of her spirit filled him. It was
an ethereal light that pierced
through the dark decadence of his vile soul, igniting a
firestorm of emotion in the
cold recesses of his coporeal body and heart. Her
quintessence seeped through
his metaphysical entombment; finding the remaining kernels
of humanity and giving it
succor. The kernels broke open as it greedily received the long
awaited sustenance that would
allow its roots to grow and take hold, to be reborn. This
rebirth of his mortality seared
every neural fiber, his body writhing in response as a
consuming wave of sensual
gratification innundated and collapsed all of his emotional
barriers..... He felt....cleansed.
Reality blurred as he fell to the floor.....
Nick jerked awake screaming Natalie's name as the automatic shutters hummed
to
life, rising to announce the
beginning of yet another dark, lonely night. The blood sweat
poured down his temples onto
his cheeks. A dream.....another DAMN dream. It had been so
real, so very real.
He could still smell her upon his skin, taste her. But it couldn't
have
been real, could it?
When had he gone to bed? He didn't remember getting there.
He
sighed in frustration.
Once again he burned with desire as a result of a damn dream. He
wanted the reality.
He wanted Natalie. He heard the radio playing a song with a slow
seductive beat.....

He had been haunted by dreams for weeks and he was in hell! He had tried
it her
way, and they were both suffering
for it. By God, he would make that woman understand
that they COULD be together,
NOW! With new resolve, Nicholas Knight rose from his bed
and headed for the shower,
his decision made. "Tonight, my heart, we WILL be together!"
