5.5. "Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker."

Nathan was trying to stifle a yawn and unlock his door quietly at the same time. His eyes were struggling to stay open, and his blinking had become slow in response. He had just knocked off from what was supposed to be a one pm to ten pm shift, that actually turned into a one pm to one am shift. There was an emergency with one of his patients, and although the nightshift doctors had it in hand for him to handover, he stuck around to see it through more for experience than anything else. He wouldn't always just be able to drop his case and go home, this wasn't going to be one of those times either. But now he had left work and managed to switch his brain off from his job, the tiredness had set in. It was probably factored down, also, to the fact he didn't get a huge amount of sleep the night before after his date with Mel. She had stayed over, and of course they went on not to sleep but to get hot and sweaty between the sheets. It had been a perfect way to finish off their first date, and he hadn't had to crawl out of bed at five am for work either. The late start was good timing.
They were hitting the stage where they couldn't get enough of each other, even this early into the proceedings of their relationship. They text messaged throughout the day when he was able, and he called her on his dinner break, which he spent the entire time on the phone to her while he ate, including a commentary of what he was eating when she wanted to know the sorts of things he ate while he was at work. Somewhere in the course of the conversation, he asked her what she was doing that night, and it led to her agreeing to stay the night again so she would be waiting at home for him when he finished his shift. But an emergency was an emergency, and it was unavoidable. It was his Residency and he was learning, he knew Mel would understand. He had sent her a quick text to explain he was going to be late, and she really did understand. He was over the moon when she told him she would stay anyway. He knew she would be asleep by now, but that didn't mean he couldn't look forward to climbing into bed with her to curl up and go to sleep after his hard day. In fact, it was really, really appealing and he couldn't think of anything he wanted to do more right at that moment.
Trying to keep as quiet as he could when he got in, Nathan peeled his coat off and kicked his shoes off after it. He was still in his scrubs, not bothering to stop and change in the changing rooms like he normally would. He just wanted to get home. After a quick trip to the bathroom to go to the loo, wash his face and brush his teeth, he padded up the hallway, yawning again and rubbing a hand tiredly over his face. He turned the door knob of the bedroom door slowly so it wouldn't click and tiptoed inside, closing it over again behind him. There was a soft, thin stream of light from the street lamp outside coming in through the corner of his blinds and revealed a lump on his bed under the covers. A flicker of a smile appeared on his lips when he realised it was nice to come home from work to someone, especially someone he enjoyed being with as much as Mel. He stripped off out of his scrubs and then his boxers, leaving them in a pool around his feet as he tugged the thick warm covers back. Mel stirred a little, murmuring something unintelligible. He crawled in under the covers and wrapped his arms around her, pressing a kiss to her lips and nuzzling her throat. "Go back to sleep," he whispered tiredly, dropping another couple of small kisses to her shoulder.
Mel mumbled more unintelligible gibberish as she shifted to align her body to Nathan's, a leg sliding over his as she pulled herself closer, and slid her arm over his waist. She sighed contentedly, and managed to open her eyes slowly. "S'okay," she murmured, her speech starting to get clearer. "M'good." She rubbed her hand against his side, and brought her lips against his for a another kiss, only this one lingered a little. She'd spent the night watching some of his DVDs while chatting to her sister on and off on her laptop. The computer now lay dormant out in the main room with Mel's shoes tucked neatly under the coffee table. She had an overnight bag in Nathan's bedroom, but she found herself not wanting to bother with the PJs and went to bed naked instead. It wasn't as if they hadn't slept in the nude together before. In fact, both times she had slept over there had been no need for clothes. "'Lo," she said with a huff of laughter as she smiled after the kiss.
"Hello," Nathan murmured huskily, rubbing his nose softly against hers and kissing the corner of her lips. With her arms wrapped around him, he was now half lying on top of her, his legs curled in with hers. He couldn't help it, he was hard in an instant, despite being tired. Clearly not tired enough. He smiled against her lips, letting his hand brush down her side, lingering at her breast for a few moments to cup it and he dipped his head to kiss the soft curve of flesh there, humming softly in appreciation. He felt like he could touch her forever and felt like indulging just a little bit before going to sleep. He swept his hand lower, nudging her legs apart and slipping his fingers between them with a soft growl of arousal. "You're wet," he whispered, catching her lips in another hungry kiss as he began to stroke her. "What were you dreaming about?" he coaxed.
Mel's hand had slid down to Nathan's ass, and she pressed the heel of her palm against the flesh before gripping it possessively as she moaned at his touch. She hadn't been able to help it. He was right to suspect her dream had aroused her, and she didn't answer until she'd twisted her head to graze her teeth against his shoulder then soothing it with her tongue. She looked up at him, a naughty smile tugging at the corners of her mouth as she lifted her hips up to encourage him. It was definitely better than touching herself. "You... Us." She wrestled her other arm out from under herself, and slipped it between their bodies so she could cup his balls in her hand, and started to massage them softly. "Was dreaming about you, um... being spooned up behind me and taking me from behind."
Nathan sucked in a sharp breath and let it out with a soft moan in his throat at the feeling of her hand around his balls. He rocked his hips forward, encouraging her touches and started to kiss her slowly, but deeply, his tongue seeking out hers and drawing it between his lips. The dream just made him even more turned on, and his cock twitched in anticipation against her hip. He was stroking her softly, rhythmically, lost in the how wet and hot she already was, and just from a dream about them. He wanted to make it a reality, but he was comfortable in this position. He broke the kiss, slightly breathless now and trailed his tongue along her jaw, lapping at the corner of her lips while he rolled his hips again, trying to get more of anything she had to offer. "I want you..." he told her in a husky purr, picking up the kiss again just briefly before breaking it again. He let two fingers slide within her, and then out again, spreading the wetness there and feeling his gut clench in anticipation. He shifted so he was lying between her legs, his painfully hard cock now thrusting softly against her. "Fuck, I need you right now. Are you on the pill? I need to be inside you..."
Mel whimpered as she moved her hand, brushing her fingers up his abdomen and feeling the muscles contract in response before she curled her arm up under his, fingers splayed against his back. She had no complaints about their current position despite her dream. She was getting more aroused by the second, enjoying the fact that she'd been here, waiting for Nathan, and now that he was home, he wanted to be with her. It was a nice way to be woken up, no matter what the time was. A flush had crept over her entire body, and Mel arched her back. "Yes... pill." She lifted her head off the pillow to kiss him deeply, giving Nathan's ass a squeeze as she brought her knee up against his hip, and rubbed her foot against the back of his leg. "Please," she begged. She was on the pill, so not using a condom for one night really wouldn't be a problem, right? She just wanted him so badly, and he was already there, and hard, and just thinking about him inside her was making her nerves tingle. "Please, Nate... Want you, too..." she whispered.
Nathan didn't have to be asked twice. He wasn't sure anything would get his ass to shift out of this position save for maybe a small earthquake or tornado. He rocked back just a little to position himself and then entered her with one deep thrust, driving as far into her as he could and claiming her lips with his. He couldn't stifle a moan of indulgence, feeling almost immediately satiated like having a long, cold drink of water after running a marathon. He was sure he hadn't felt this much passion or hunger for a girl in a long time, maybe if at all. Mel just had him hooked and it was like he couldn't get enough of her. Normally, he was a polite and respectful guy, but times like this when he could just lose control, it was like he wanted to worship every single inch of her all at once. It felt like electricity was bubbling through him and his skin was hot from arousal in just this short span of time. Her body was pressed up against his like they were melted together and he was already finding a slow rhythm, pulling out and sinking back into her wet warmth with another hum of appreciation in the kiss.
Her hands were starting to travel all over his body, her fingers caressing every curve of muscle, and inch of skin she could reach. Mel had been addicted since that first kiss, no doubt about it, and ever since their first night together it was hard for her to think about anything and anyone except Nathan. The time spent getting to know his unconscious body really hadn't gone to waste either, and Mel was finding all the dips and bumps that had become her own little favourite arts of him. Not that she'd really tell him. Her fingers brushed down his arm, and caressed the Gemini tattoo there while she kissed him back, matching every spark of electricity and hunger he was feeding her. Her lips lifted to meet his thrusts, the slow rhythm just serving to drive her even more wild as she just wanted to take him deeper and deeper. She genuinely had never met a guy that made her feel this way, or one she craved so much. Mel's body ached just to be with Nathan, and when he was gone it was like a new part of her had been chopped off. She clung to him now, not daring to let much space get between them in case the feeling came back. His cock stroked deep inside her, and she moaned loudly, unable to keep herself quiet.
Nathan wasn't sure how long he was going to last. As soon as he felt how wet she had been, his arousal had been sparked. He had been thinking about her all day, and not all the thoughts were innocent. He just couldn't help it, and he knew it was maybe just that new relationship phase of discovering each other, but that just had him wanting her more. It wasn't difficult juggling his work schedule with starting a new romance, but it clearly did mean he was hot and ready extremely easily as soon as he was in her presence. Coming home to her naked in his bed had just been icing on the cake. He usually wasn't the vocal sort in the bedroom, but he couldn't help the noises he was making now. His hands roamed over every inch of her that he could reach and he pulled her hips up against his to drive deeper and pick up his pace. He bit down on her lip, sucking on it and enjoying her taste. If he had the ability to twist himself into a pretzel right now, he would go down on her again like he had done the night before, but memories of that was enough to cause him to groan loudly and thrust just a little harder, the force of his movements knocking the spare pillows onto the floor and shrugging the covers away from their bodies. He didn't care, there was heat enough between them and now he could see her in that small stream of light and he broke the kiss to smile down breathlessly at her.
Mel cupped his face in her hands, her thumb brushing against his lips as she smiled. She managed a soft, breathless giggle as she looked back up at him, her own lips curving into a smile. He just always made her feel happy. Even like this when they were caught in a heated embrace, she could feel the warmth and happiness spread through her body along with the desire. She brought her other leg up against his hip to help him thrust deeper, wanting to take as much of him in as she could. Her fingers trailed along his jaw, and Mel's voice caught on a moan as her back arched and her other hand moved to grip his arm to brace herself. There were so many things on the tip of her tongue that she wanted to say, but only pants and moans made it past her lips. Her green eyes held his gaze in the dim light and she curled a finger into his mouth as she smiled again. He really was gorgeous, and he was all hers.
Nathan sucked on her finger, curling his tongue around it as his eyes still shone with a smile. He had found a fast, smooth pace now, and despite the chilly winter night, a few droplets of sweat trickled down his forehead from the exertion. He let his eyes dip down, looking between them to see himself taking her and watching her breasts pressed against his chest. She was driving him wild and he let her finger fall from his lips so he could kiss her again. "You're beautiful... so fucking beautiful..." he whispered into the kiss, feeling down beneath him to take her leg and hook it up over his hip. He caressed her thigh and then her ass, giving it a soft squeeze and pulling her hip up with each of his thrust. He let out a rush of breath and had to let his head fall down onto her shoulder. "I'm close..." he had to warn in a hoarse whisper, feeling the small pulses of warning in his gut start to shoot lower.
"So are you," Mel told him between pants, her eyes closing briefly as she realised just how close she was getting herself to climax. Her fingers pushed up into his hair, and she held his head against her shoulder while her lips brushed against his cheek, and her breath came out in hot puffs against his skin. She could feel the perspiration start to break out across her skin, and her whole body tingle with anticipation. She was so close, and all Mel had to think about was Nathan coming inside her while her inner muscles clenched tightly around him, and she was gone. Her body curled itself around his as she cried out his name, hips bucking as the orgasm tore through her and left her breathless. She still held on tightly to him as the aftershocks pulsed through her body, making her muscles clamp down around him sporadically.
It was like bursting a bubble. As soon as Nathan started to feel Mel come undone beneath him and her inner muscles clench around his cock, he was lost. He had grunted softly in an effort to hold off just long enough for her to climax and then he let go, his eyes falling closed as his orgasm shot through him and he exploded inside her with a wave of pulses that felt like they started at his head and shot right down to the swollen tip of his cock. He crashed his lips against hers again, a rough, desperate kiss as he rode the last apex of the wave and then had to break away to suck in a deep breath, his muscles loosening in the wake as he slumped down on top of her. His heart was thumping in his chest and he could feel hers matching it. He laughed softly and kissed her shoulder, trying to wait a few moments to catch his breath before saying anything.
Mel wrapped her arms around him as they stayed connected, and brushed her fingers in soothing strokes down his back. She didn't mind being crushed beneath the weight of his body, wanting to be trapped like this for the rest of the night if it meant they were still joined. She grinned up at the ceiling before her eyes slipped closed again briefly, and she just focused on feeling both their rapid heartbeats. She turned her head so their faces almost touched, and opened her eyes slowly again to look at his face. "Beautiful..." she murmured.
Nathan knew he would be in danger of falling asleep like this, but he couldn't bring himself to care so much. He rubbed his against her shoulder and just basked in the afterglow a little longer, enjoying the feeling of still being inside her. He didn't want to move right away and he smiled again, opening his eyes just a little to meet hers. The sleepiness was setting in again with a vengeance now he was satiated, but he didn't think she would appreciate being trapped under his dead weight for the whole night. Or even less so the fact that he was so tired, he would probably end up drooling on her. But his eyes slipped close again and he gave her a soft squeeze in the embrace. "Know it might be kinda soon, but... m'falling in love with you," he told her sleepily, blinking slowly.
Mel froze for a moment before she rubbed her hand against the back of his neck and then down his shoulder and arm. She could feel her heart skip a beat, and even in the haziness brought on by afterglow, and the fact she had been dead asleep when Nathan had come home, Mel could admit to herself that she felt the same. She moved to kiss his lips, and smiled sleepily. "Me too. I mean, you. I'm falling in love with you too."
Nathan just smiled again in response and had to reluctantly move, withdrawing from her and melting into her side with his arm tucked around her. It took him a couple of moments of wriggling before he found a spot, but when he did, he was pretty convinced he would happily stay there all night hugged around her warm and secure. It really did feel right. He could feel sleep rapidly claiming him when he could no longer keep his eyes open. He mumbled a goodnight that probably wasn't even clear enough for her to realise what he was saying and then when out like a light.
