After a nice long soak in the tub, Jase put the meat out to defrost and went to bother Nathaniel. He was sprawled out on the couch watching a movie. "Hey, Kitty, what are you watching?"

"The Jungle Book." He gave her a shy smile, then looked back to the TV.

"Really?" She glanced at the tv. "I'm guessing you brought it with you since I don't own it."

"It's on HBO."

"Oh." She walked around the couch and sat on his feet.

He glanced away from the screen. "Want me to move?"

"Nope. I'll just sit on you." She said as she began to watch the movie.

"Alright." He shifted slightly, turning back to the movie. "Need any help with dinner?"

"Not unless you know how to grill too. If so, then why aren't you making dinner?" She grinned at him.

Nathaniel grinned. "I can grill. Anita got me this really great grill set last year..." he paused, "Not that we used it more than twice... but I can do dinner..."

"I was kidding, Nathaniel. I said I was making dinner and I shall make it. Unless you grill naked." She smiled at the that particular image.

"Tends to be a bit too risky for me." He shrugged, not noticing her smile.

"Damn." She said. "But knowing Jason, he'd show up earlier and find us having sex on the patio or something."

"He'll probably be early. I don't know how he and Caleb are doing, though. It depends." Ignoring her reference to sex , he stood. "I'm going to take a quick shower before dinner."

"Ok, but I think I used most of the hot water when I took my bath." She stretched out on the couch, more catlike then wolflike. "I hope they'll be ok."

"It's fine." Nathaniel shrugged. "And they'll make it if they're meant to. They love each other too much not to."

She nodded and rolled over onto her stomach. In some ways, her and Jason were exactly alike.

"Jase?" He asked quietly.

"Yeah, Nathaniel?" She responded.

The leopard hesitated. "I... never mind." He turned, hurrying towards the bathroom.

Jase rolled off the couch and followed him. "No, what where you going to ask me, hun?"

"It was nothing... really. I was just going to ask if you wanted to brush my hair and then I remembered you were busy with dinner... and I don't want to trouble you, so it's alright."

Jase smiled at him and hugged him. "Maybe later." She kissed his jaw and headed into the kitchen to do prep work on dinner.

He bit his lip, watching as she disappeared before leaning against the wall with a sigh. Damn it..

Jase opened the patio door and started the grill. She cleaned it real quick and grabbed the steaks off the counter.

Maybe he could have Jason fix him. Then there'd be no problem...

She grabbed some spiced and headed back out. She was glad it was such a nice day.

Nathaniel headed upstairs and climbed into the shower after undressing and tying his hair up so that it wouldn't get wet. He felt like an ass... the biggest ass on the planet. He couldn't believe himself. God, he deserved to die for the night before.

Jase sighed. Nathaniel had been odd since she'd slept with Caleb. She had probably hurt his feelings. She'd apologize later tonight.

Caleb blinked at Jason as the wolf opened the front door. "Shouldn't you knock? We're early...?"

He snorted. "Why bother? I don't hear or smell anything going on except grilling and a shower. Now would you leave a grill unattended?" He said as he opened the door.

"I guess not..." He shook his hair from his face and followed Jason into the house.

Jason closed the door after they got inside. He headed towards the smell of the grill. “Hey Jase!" Jase was flipping the steaks as he got out to the patio. They was also potatoes and garlic bread on the grill.

"Hey Jay. I'm almost done here."

"Would you like some help?" Caleb offered her a small smile.

"Could you guy set the table?" Jase asked them.

Jason gave her a quick hug. "Sure sis."

"Sure. Not a problem." He stepped into the kitchen and began setting out plates.

Jason grabbed out the silverware as Caleb got the plates.

"Dinner smells great, Jase..." He called through the open door. He'd finished setting out the plates and grabbed some glasses.

Jason grabbed out some condiments and set them on the table. He heard Nathaniel come downstairs.

"Hey, Nate."

"Hi, Jason, Caleb. How're you guys?"

Caleb shrugged. "We're alright."

Jason headed out and helped Jase bring in the food off the grill. "Dinner's done." Jase said cheerfully.

"Shall I set out milk, water, soda, or juice?" Nathaniel asked.

"I'll take milk, Nathaniel." Caleb shifted from foot to foot, unsure of what to do.

"Beer." Jase and Jason said in near unison. It was just a beer kind of a day.

"Alright..." Nathaniel shoved his hair back over his shoulder and bent, grabbing the beer from the crisper before pouring two glasses of milk.

Jason sat the food down on the table and took a seat near the window.

Caleb sat across from him as Jase and Nathaniel seated themselves. "This really does look great, Jase..."

Nathaniel traced the rim of his glass with a finger, looking at his plate. "Yeah..."

Jase patted Nathaniel's knee. "Thanks for the beer, hun. Guys, go ahead and get something to eat."

"You're welcome." He offered her a small smile, waiting for their guests to grab what they wanted first. Caleb, however, didn't reach for anything.

Jason sighed. "I guess I'll go first." He said as he served himself then Jase. Jase just shook her head.

"You're not going to eat?" Caleb bit his lip as he forced himself to grab a steak.

"Jason has been serving me as long as he's been serving himself. I thought he'd stopped because he hasn't done it since I moved here." She said looking at the food on her plate.

"Oh." Nathaniel shrugged, serving himself as well. "So which of you is the older twin? I'm afraid I don't recall..."

Caleb sipped his milk, poking the steak with his fork. Maybe if he cut it up really small they'd think he ate more than he did. Sadly, Jase didn't have a pet for him to slip it to.

"Jase is." Jason said as he cut his steak up. "By almost an hour." Jase ate some potatoes, but found she wasn't all that hungry.

Nathaniel nodded. "That's cool." He watched as Caleb absently cut up his food, mixing it together, though he ate little.

It was Jase who broke first. She just stood up and left the table. Jason sighed as she left.

Placing his head in his hands, Nathaniel swallowed. He'd screwed up again. Great fucking job.

Caleb parted his lips to say something, but stopped, pushing his plate away from himself.

Jase grabbed a Tupper-ware container and threw it at Jason. "Take your food and leave."

"You only served my food to remind me of good old times. Wanted to remind me you were my brother."

"Jase, I know you're upset-"

"Upset! You gave that woman my number. You know I hate her. I knew the second you served me that it was you. I am so beyond upset right now, Jason."

"Jase..." Nathaniel stood, taking her hands in his. "What's wrong?" He looked at Jason, then back at his girlfriend.

Caleb stood, swallowing. He was utterly confused....

Jase just stared at Jason who sighed. He packed up his and Caleb's food in the container, then headed doe the door. This was a fight he wouldn't win.

"I... goodnight?" Caleb said quickly as he followed his lover, wondering what the hell had happened.

"Jase?"

"Yes, Nathaniel?" She asked as she began to clean off the table.

Jason made a beeline for the car. He handed the food over to Caleb as he pulled out and got the hell out of there.

"Who did he call?" Nathaniel watched her, confused.

"He didn't call anyone. He gave our grandmother my phone number." Jase's voice of full of anger.

"Oh... Why did he do that?"

"She probably sweet talked it out of him. She's always liked him better."

"Why don't you get along?" He asked quietly, putting the left overs in the fridge.

She broke the glass that she had been picking up. "I hate that woman. She hates me. She thinks I'm not lady like enough, I think she'd an old hag."

"Careful." He took it from her, gently taking care of the glass. "Why is that?"

"I remind her of my mother. She never thought mom was good enough for my dad."

"Oh." He bit his lip. "Why don't you go sit down, Jase? I'll finish cleaning..."

She sat down in the nearest chair.

The leopard made quick work of cleaning the kitchen, filling the sink with dishwater. "How about I answer the phone for you.. and if it's her I can tell her you're not here?"

"No. God no. She'll start questing you. Are we dating? Have you deflowered me yet? Am I only seeing you? Do you plan on marrying me?"

"Yes... I don't think that's any of your business, yes, and... yes. If she'll have me." He answered softly, dipping his hands into the dishwater.

She sighed. "You don't know her. I'm thinking about changing my number and not giving the new one to Jay. She called me earlier and I hung up on her. I had to turn my phone off cause she kept on calling back."

Alright... so she'd ignored his 'not really a proposal' proposal. What did he expect, especially now? "Ah." He resumed washing the dishes silently.

"One day, we'll have a huge wedding and if Jason tells her about it I'll kill him." She laid her head down on the table.

Nathaniel paused again, then smiled. He finished washing the dishes, then dried his hands before facing her. "I love you."

She smiled. "I love you too. I'm sorry I slept with Caleb and left you alone."

"Don't be. I was an ass. It was my fault. I can control myself better." He looked at his hands, blushing.

"You weren't an ass. I was just being hot and cold with you and that's not fair to you."

".... I was an ass." He tugged her up and into his arms.

She hugged him. "Sure, hun, you were an ass."

He laughed softly. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." She rested her head on his shoulder.

He rubbed a hand down her back. "When are you watching Elias and Rissa again?"

"Not until next weekend. Why?" She closed her eyes.

"Just wondering... I'm hoping Elias stops glaring at me for daring to date his crush..."

She pulled back. "What? Elias doesn't have a crush on me."

Nathaniel laughed softly. "You're blind, then, love. Trust me, the kid's got it bad."

She blinked. "But... I... He's just a kid. I didn't do anything special to warrant a crush."

He stared at her, then ran his hands through her hair. "You... love... have beautiful hair..." His hands skimmed over her breasts, and then her ass. "And the best breasts and ass I've ever seen... add that onto the fact of how intelligent, kind, creative, stubborn, caring and everything else that you are... and who could resist?"

She just laughed, "He's really been glaring at you?" She was touched that he said all those things about her. He made her feel loved.

"Oh yeah." Nathaniel groaned, letting his head fall back. "If looks could kill, I'd be a dead kitty."

She laughed. "I'd protect you from the look of death." She kissed him.

He kissed her back, his lips teasing hers. "Good... a fifteen year old boy is dangerous in love."

"Oh, very dangerous. I'd protect you using my luscious body if I had to."

"Oh? And how would you do that?" He kissed a line along her jaw.

"I'd seduce him of course, then you could run away." She ran her ran up his back.

He growled low in his throat. "I don't think so..."

She laughed. "What, you don’t like the fact that I'd be seducing a child?"

"I don't like the fact that you'd be seducing anyone but me." He pulled her closer

She kissed him. "I'll keep that in mind and won't bring my other boyfriends around."

"You'd best..." He picked her up and set her on the counter as he covered her mouth with his.

She returned the kiss when her house phone rang. "Damn it. He gave her that number too. She probably just waited to call until I thought it was safe."

Nathaniel pressed a finger to her lips as he answered the phone. "Hello?"

"Hello. Is Jase-Lyn there?" Jase cringed. She could hear that it was her grandmother and that she'd used her whole 1st name.

"I'm afraid she's busy at the moment, may I please take a message so that she can call you back?" He asked politely.

"Oh? Busy is she. And who might you be?"

"Nathaniel, Ma'am."

"Who are you to my granddaughter?"

"I am her boyfriend, Ma'am." Nathaniel leaned against the counter, and began toying with Jase's fingers.

"Are you a wolf?" Jase shook her head trying to warn him.

"Ma'am, I'm afraid I don't feel comfortable with this questioning..." He bit his lip, frowning slightly.

"So...not a wolf I take it." Her voice was filled with disgust. "Who knew she'd stoop so low-"

Jase grabbed the phone. "Listen here you old bitch. I love him, he loves me. We're getting married and you can drop dead!" She hung up on her.

He winced. "Sorry..."

"I hate her. I wish the gods would hurl a fiery mountain down on her."

Nathaniel tugged her into his arms. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to let her know... I didn't realize..."

"It's ok. It's none of her damn business who or what I sleep with." She tossed the phone onto the counter and sighed. "I need another beer."

"Would you rather I heat up the tub for you? You could take a warm bath..."

"We used all the hot water. I'm just going to go lay down." She slid off of the counter.

"Want a massage?"

"Only if I get to be naked." She gave him a weak smile.

"Hmm... wow. I don't know about that. Jase naked and my hands on her body..." He smiled at her.

She smiled a bit more. "Think you can handle it or do I need to call someone to come do it for you?"

"I think I'll be able to handle it." He kissed her cheek. "I can always consider it inspiration if I'm very desperate." He winked at her. "But I should be fine. Promise."

She patted his butt. "Meet you upstairs." She took the stairs two at a time. She quickly stripped and laid down on the bed.

He ran after her, pausing to grab some massage oil on the way. "Ready, Love?"

"Always." She mumbled. It was stressful days like this then she was glad she had silk sheets. They felt so good against her skin.

He warmed the oil on his hands. "Is it alright if I straddle you love? Easier reaching..."

"Of course." She smiled into her pillow. Oh yes he could straddle her.

He moved, straddling her hips, pointedly telling his body to ignore her backside which pressed up into him. He flung his hair out of the way, and slowly lowered his hands to her skin, working the muscles gently.

She moaned in pleasure. It felt so good to have his hands working the tense muscles of her back. "Ooo, right there."

"Tell me if you want it softer or harder, alright?" He shifted slightly so he could reach better, leaning forward.

"Mmm, harder." She almost purred. "Trust me, right now, you can't do it too hard."

"Mmkay." He leaned more of his weight into his hands, working the muscle beneath her smooth, creamy skin, slowly working his way down her back, then once again up to her shoulders.

She felt her muscles loosen up as he worked and sighed. "I love you, Nathaniel."

"Nah... you just like my hands on your body...." He shifted, and began to rub her feet.

"Oh, you're a god among men, Nathaniel." She moaned as he rubbed a particularly sore spot.

Nathaniel laughed softly, the sound husky and inviting. "Am I?"

"Yes, yes you are." She giggled.

He purred, and slowly began massaging her calves and up her thighs, giving her a full body massage. Reaching the top of her legs, he stopped, moving to sit near her head. He took her left hand, and slowly began massaging that as well.

She turned her head and smiled at him. "My, you certainly are good with your hands."

"Am I?" He worked his way up her forearm to her bicep, then back down before switching hands.

She nodded as she closed her eyes. God, she loved him so much. "Nathaniel, if I ask you something, promise not to think I'm crazy?"

"What, hun?"

"Will you marry me, like tonight?"

"Jase..." He froze. "But... I'd love to, but your family... You should have a big wedding with flowers and cake and a dress..."

"My family will just ruin it. I just want you, me, and a witness. I don't care about that stuff." She grabbed his hand and kissed it.

"I want to be able to get you a ring... and do this right Jase..." His voice was low, and he paused. "But... if you really want to get married tonight, and promise to stop Jason from killing me, then I'll do it. I'd do anything for you..."

"I promise and yes I really want to do this. I love you and it's just right that we should get married." She rolled out of bed and began getting ready. "You have two hours to get a ring and get ready. I'll stay here and get ready. Also, I’ll get us a witness." She blew him a kiss.

"What should I wear, Jase?" He kissed her quickly, grabbing his wallet from the dresser.

"A nice suit." She said, as she put on her good lace underwear. "I have a white dress that will do nicely. I think I can talk Mika into being our witness. She'll just have to get Richard to watch the kids for a bit."

Jase grabbed her cell phone and turned it on. She called Mika as she pulled her clothes out of the closet. She was getting married on the fly. She couldn't believe it.

Mika sighed as she picked up the phone. "O'Sullivan residence, Mika speaking. How may I help you?"

"Mika, it's Jase. I need a huge favor. Can you get Richard to watch the kids and come help me with something?"

"What's wrong?" The Lupa's voice was urgent, and she muted the TV, much to the protests of the kids.

"Nothings wrong." Jase said, her voice full of excitement. "I'm getting married to Nathaniel and we need a witness. I want it to be you."

"Me? Why me?" She squeaked. "What about Jason?"

"That jerk gave my grandmother my phone number. Let's just say most of my issues stem from her." Jase said. "Besides, I'd of invited you anyway."

"Oh... well, let me call Richard and see if he can watch the kids, alright?" Mika unmuted the TV and wandered into the other room.

"Thanks so much!" She said as she hung up. She put on her dress. It was simple, but elegant. She smiled at herself in the mirror.

Mika sighed as she dialed Richard's number, rushing into her bedroom. Did she have anything wedding appropriate?

Richard grabbed his phone. He recognized Mika's number. "Hey Mika. What's up?"

"Hey, hun."Mika grabbed a dress, then shook her head. "Could you do Jase and I a very large, important favor that I would pay you back for as soon as possible in anyway you'd ask of me?"

Richard leaned back on his couch. "What is it?"

"I need you to watch the kids. Jase is eloping with Nathaniel, she's pissed at Jason, and they want me to witness.... Ugh! I own nothing decent for a wedding!" Mika stomped her foot, and dug further back into her closet.

"You have that nice blue dress." Richard said without thinking. "Wait... eloping? Wow, that's sudden and of course I'll watch the kids."

"It has a stain on it- Rissa dumped paint on it. And I know it's sudden... and thanks. Hmm..." Mika paused on a creme colored dress with pink flowers and mint green trim. It wasn't anything she'd worn before, but she'd tried it on and thought it lovely. Hmm... "How long will it take you to get here, hun?"

"Just let me get some pants on and I'll be right on over." Richard told her.

She paused, pouting. "Great... and now I'll be daydreaming during the wedding. Thanks."

He laughed. "I have boxers on, if that helps." He grabbed his pants and put them on. "Ok, I'm on my way over. Love you. Bye." He hung up and headed out to her house.

Mika pulled the dress on and twisted the top layer of her hair up, leaving curls about her face. Pinching her cheeks and adding a layer of lipstick to her lips. Good. She pulled on a pair of small heels and hurried downstairs. "Kids!"

Elias looked up. "Yeah? Why are you all dressed up?"

"Jase and Nathaniel are going out and I'm meeting them there. Richard is coming to stay with you..." Mika reached over, kissing him on the top of his head.

"Ok." Elias said. "Where are they going out too?"

"I'll tell you later. It's a secret, as far as I know." Mika bit her lip, looking for her purse. "How do I look?"

"You look great, Aunt Mika." Rissa said, "tell Jase to come back soon."

"Thanks, baby." Mika grinned. "And I will. Promise."

Richard knocked on the door. "Bye." The kids called.

"Bye, kids!" Mika hurried to the door, opening it. "Richard! Hi."

Richard gave her a quick kiss. "Hi and see you later."

She smiled, reaching to wipe away her lipstick from his lips. "I look alright?"

'You look great. I've never seen that dress before. I like it."

"Thanks... well, I'm out. I'll be home when I can. Thank you!" Mika hugged him, then ducked out the door.

Richard headed inside with the kids.

Jase finished getting ready. She sat down on the couch and waited for the troops to get there.

Mika pulled into Jase's driveway right after Nathaniel, grinning as the leopard climbed from his car, neatly dressed in a handsome suit. "Oh... sexy boy..."

Nathaniel flushed. "Thanks, Mika. You look nice..."

"Thank you. Shall we head inside?" Nathaniel nodded, and the Lupa followed him into the house.

Jase stood up when she heard the cars pull in. She grinned as she saw Nathaniel. She hugged him tightly. "You look great."

He hugged her back, then blushed as he knelt before her. "I want to do this properly. Jase... I love you more than I ever thought possible. Will you do me the honor of completing my heart and soul by marry me?"

"It would be an honor to be your wife, Nathaniel. Not let's get going. I called ahead so they're expecting us." She kissed him when he stood up.

"Where are we going, guys?" Mika smiled at them both, turning towards the door as Nathaniel held Jase's hand.

"There's this place not too far from here. I know where it is so I'll drive."

"Alright. I'll sit in the back." The trio piled into the car, with Mika in the backseat on her own insistence.

It was a relatively short drive. Jase pulled up from front of a nice little house. "The woman who lives here is an ordained minister. She married people all the time." Jase informed them.

Nathaniel grinned at Jase, pausing to look into her eyes. "You're sure you want to do this tonight? I'll wait for you if that's what you want..."

She looked over at him. "I want to be able to call you my husband. I'm not waiting for anything or anyone."

He kissed her briefly but passionately, then climbed from the car. "Come on. Let's get married."

Mika bit her lip, torn between giggling with happiness and an odd tearing in her eyes.

She grabbed his hand and they headed inside. It was a lovely ceremony. She loved the ring he'd gotten her. About an hour later, they finally left as husband and wife.

Nathaniel held Jase close as they stepped from the minister's house, brushing his lips over hers again. "God, I love you..."

"I love you too." She glanced back at Mika who was still crying. "Thank you for coming Mika."

Mika sniffled, wiping her cheeks. "Not a problem..." She hugged them both. "I'm very glad for you... I should have followed in my car, but if you can give me a ride to my car, I'll let you guys have your night alone..."

Jase smiled. "Sure thing." She got into the driver's seat. She looked at her ring again and smiled. She drove them back to her and Nathaniel's house. She walked Mika over to her car. She hugged her lupa. "You're the best lupa ever."

Mika held the other woman close. "Thank you, hun. Congratulations... I wish you the best."

"You too." She winked at her and headed into the house.

Nathaniel watched as Mika drove away before pulling Jase to him again before she could cross the threshold. "We're married... I have to carry you..."

She laughed. "Ok." She wrapped her arms around his neck.

He picked her up, her knees over on arm and the other behind her back before carrying her inside. "Where to, Mrs. Graison?"

She grinned at him. "To the bedroom. I want to change."

He brushed a kiss over her lips and headed up the stairs. "Ditto. This suit's not terribly comfortable."

"You look incredibly sexy in it, though." She told him. "You can put me down now."

"And if I don't want to?" Nathaniel smirked at her.

"Then you'll still be holding me and it'll be hard to change then."

"Not if I undress you..."

"And hold me at the same time? Ok, will you please put me down?"

"Yeah. Sorry." Nathaniel set her gently on her feet and grabbed his bag of clothing. "I'll... be in the bathroom."

"Hun, why are you going to the bathroom? This is your bedroom too."

"Oh. I had to go... and figured I'd uh... just do both... but..." He set the bag down, and began tugging off his suit, folding it carefully.

She turned her back to him and unzipped the dress. She tossed it in her clothes hamper and went over to Nathaniel. She wrapped her arms around him waist.

His stomach muscles tightened and he looked at her over his shoulder. "Hey..."

"Hi. So husband, what are our first plans as a couple?"

"I don't know... Wife." Nathaniel smiled at her.

She laughed. "God, we're actually married."

He turned, hugging her to him. "Yes, we are."

"This is all so exciting." She said.

"I know." Nathaniel smiled, pressing a kiss to the side of her neck before letting her go and reaching for his shorts. If she wanted anything to happen, she would have to start it.

Jase watched him dress. She was afraid to push things so soon, but at the same time she wanted Nathaniel.

He smiled at her, tugging the band from his hair. "So you liked the massage enough to marry me, hm?"

She snorted. "No. I mean it was good, but I married you because I love you." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and went to lay down in bed.

"Good. I love you too." Nathaniel stretched, then scratched the spot just above his navel on his lean stomach. "Shall I take my hair down?"

"No." She patted the spot next to her. "Come join me."

His brow furrowed slightly, and he crawled into the bed. "Is here alright?"

She shook her head. "Nope. Closer."

Nathaniel pulled his lower lip between his teeth and he moved closer. "Here?"

She snuggled up to him. "Right there is good." She ran her hand down the length of his braid.

He purred, nuzzling her neck. "I love it when you pet me..."

"I know. That's why I do it." She smiled at him.

Nathaniel traced his tongue over her pulse, and closed his eyes, letting her make the next move. “Ah....”

Jase paused, unsure of herself. She wasn't sure if she was ready for this. She didn't want to work him up only to realize she couldn't go that last step. It just seemed cruel. Jase laid her head on his shoulder. "Nathaniel...I'm about to tell you something I've never told anyone, not even Jason. You know how I told you the guy that I killed, that I was carrying his child?" She took a deep breath. "I..I was young and stupid. I never wanted that child, but I felt it was my responsibility. He wanted me to have an abortion and I told him it wasn't his choice. That's how the whole thing started. I don't know how it evolved like it did, but you know how it ended up. Nathaniel, you're the first guy I've been with since that happened."

He raised his head, his lilac eyes meeting hers. Gently, he stroked her blonde hair back from her face and traced a finger down her jaw, and over her lips. "Jase... I mean it when I say that you are one of the most amazing, strong women that I have ever met... and I've met a few, though most haven't been able to pull themselves all the way out of their situations..." He slid a hand down, cupping her belly. "I am willing to wait for you... forever, if I have to. I'm honored that you've chosen to be with me at all, but even if I'd been the millionth man in between, the very sight, scent, or thought of you would still cause me to fall for you again and again. And we won't have a child until you are ready. Tonight I vowed to be with you 'until death do us part'... and I meant every word of it. I love you."

Jase smiled at him and some how blinked away the tears. "It's just I've been alone for a long time. I'm just glad I found you." She kissed him, her mind made up. "But I'm not ready to have a child yet so you better find some condoms."

"Jase... love." Nathaniel bit his lower lip, kissing her lashes. "Caleb gave us a bag full... not that we need to have sex right away... I just meant..."

She ran her hand down his chest. She needed this, needed him, to feel right again. A lot had happened but Mika was helping healing those wounds. She'd encouraged Jase to get back to her life. Nathaniel was a big part of her life and she wanted him. "I want my husband to make love to me. After all, it is our honeymoon."

"You're sure?" He swallowed, looking into her eyes.

"I'm sure." She met his gaze with such intensity in her eyes.

He smiled, leaning down and claiming her lips in a gentle kiss, purring against her mouth.

Jase slid her tongue into his mouth. Tonight, she was happy just being with Nathaniel. Jason would kill her when he found out, but hey he deserved it after the whole grandmother incident.

Nathaniel moaned rolling so that she laid on top of him. "Jase..."

"Want me to top you, hun?" Jase grinned down at him. "You still didn't get a condom."

"They're in your side drawer..." He stretched, reaching for her night stand and plucking one out. "And I want whatever you're willing to give me..."

She grabbed his wrists and stretched them up over his head. "I'm willing to give you everything." She said, leaning down to kiss him.

Nathaniel made a low noise in the back of his throat as he kissed her back, not struggling as she held his arms in place. She was heaven...

Jase bit his lower lip. "So, were should we go for our honeymoon?"

He shuddered. "Where do you want to go?" He shifted, rocking his hips up against her.

"I was thinking Zimbabwe. We can go see the leopards." She licked his collar bone.

"You've a leopard in your bed..." He shifted slightly, leaning up to nip at her jaw. "Your leopard..."

"Yeah, but haven't you even wanted to go see the wild leopards?" She kissed him. "And yes, you are my leopard."

"We can go where ever you want, Jase..." Nathaniel kissed her deeply, tugging at his hands, wanting to cup her face and hold her to him.

"But Nathaniel, where do you want to go?" She emphasized the word you.

He paused, meeting her gaze. "I'm already here... with you. That's where I want to be..."

She kissed him. "There has to be somewhere, hun." He was always all about her. She wanted to do this one thing for him.

He closed his eyes for a moment, then met her gaze. "Ireland. I've always wanted to go to Ireland." Nathaniel glanced at the ceiling. "I used to dream as a kid of finding the end of the rainbow... and saving Nicky and I..." He remembered Emiko's visit, and shoved it to the back of his mind.

She kissed him. "Ok. We'll go to Ireland. Just warning you know, Jason and I are part Irish, so we'll be spending a lot of time in pubs." She winked at him.

"Ireland and Zimbabwe..." He nipped at her jaw.

She laughed. "Sounds like a great trip." She raked her nails down his sternum.

"Jase!" He gasped her name, his back arching as his hands grabbed at the blankets. He moaned low in his throat.

She smirked at him. "What?" She asked innocently. She moved down his body and kissed in a line across his stomach.

"You know exactly what..." Nathaniel licked his lips, looking down at her. "You know how good that felt..."

She dug her nails into his side. "What? That?"

He growled in pleasure, his body straining closer to hers. "God, yes..."

She laid her head on his hip and looked up his body at him. "Tell me what you want."

"Jase..." He licked his lips, reaching down to stroke her hair. "I want you... your mouth, your hands, your teeth... you around me..."

She grinned and bit into the soft skin of his stomach. She slid her hand up the leg of his shorts.

He moaned, sliding his hand into her hair at the feel of her. "I love the feel of you..."

She pulled her hand out and made quick work of his shorts. Now, he laid before her, naked perfection. She bent down and took him into her mouth.

The leopard forced himself to be still as she used her mouth on him, teased him and tortured him until he was begging. "Jase... please... I want inside of you..."

Jase quickly removed what little bit of clothes she had on and mounted him. "All you had to do was ask."

He groaned, pushing up into her. "Jase..." He leaned up, kissing her quickly before covering the tip of her breast with his mouth.

She bit her lip as she began to move him in and out of her body.

Nathaniel scraped his teeth over her nipple as he sucked, his hands moving to her hips and teasing the skin there.

She moaned his name as she grabbed a handful of his hair. She tore his mouth off her body and covered it with her own mouth as she rode him.

He groaned, slipping a hand between them to tease her clitoris as they moved, pushing her towards her first orgasm. He was giving her at least two tonight...

Jase shuddered as she came. She realized how hard she was pulling his hair, but he didn't seem to mind.

Shaking as she gripped his hardness, Nathaniel began to tease her neck with his mouth, already pushing her to another peak.

She pushed him down. "Oh, no you don't. I want you to come this time."

"Jase..." He pushed himself up on his elbows, a slight pout gracing his kiss swollen lips.

She licked his bottom lip. "Yes, Nathaniel?"

He shifted, letting his fingers slip between her legs again. "Why should you only come twice..." He kissed her deeply.

She shivered at his touch. "Why should you have to wait to come?"

"Because... I love the feeling of you coming around me..." He traced her nipple with his tongue.

She pulled on his hair. "And I love watching you when you come inside of me."

His back arched, his head falling back. The pain made him gasp in pleasure, and he thrust hard inside of her.

She made a noise of contentment low in her throat. She began to ride him again.

Nathaniel thrust into her, his hips moving in a way he knew would bring her, and bring her hard, whether she wanted to come or not. He might be submissive, but he was getting his way.

She cried out above him as she came again. Damn, the man certainly knew how to treat a girl. She shuddered again as she tried to keep pace to make him come as well.

He moaned, pulling her down to kiss him. The next time she came, so would he... He reached between them, ensuring it. He could feel his own climax building, lurking just beneath the surface as they moved.

She grinned as grabbed his wrist. She pinned it about his head and began to ride him hard.

He swore, moaning as he tried to free himself. It was too late however, and he came, spilling himself into her with a hoarse shout of her name.

She kissed him as he shouted. "I always win, Nathaniel. You should know that by now."

"Oh really?" He moved, pinning her to the bed with his mouth between her thighs, frantically working the small, swollen nubbin of flesh there.

She arched her back as she moaned. Her nails dug into his back, drawing blood as she came a third time. "You cheat..." She managed.

He rested his face on her stomach, licking his lips. "Mmm..."

She closed her eyes. "I love you, Nathaniel."

"Love you, Jase."
