Just to set the scene (from Part 1 by Guen): 
"This would be wrong because," Natalie took a deep breath and swallowed, 
"because I'm seeing someone else." 

Nick's hand dropped from Natalie's breast in shock. "What?" "Who?" 

To continue: 

Natalie stepped away from Nick and clutching her robe to her shaking frame. 
She said "I mean I have been thinking about meeting a friend of Myra's." 

Nick turned away and started to the kitchen. When he reached the 
refrigerator, removed a bottle of his special reserve and took a few sips. 
He wanted to give himself time to think before he answered her. The silence 
was hanging in the air like a thick fog. Nick was feeling so many emotions 
that he could hardly catch his breath. He felt like the wind had been 
knocked out of him. 

Having to share Natalie with someone else? Knowing that some other man might 
hold, kiss, and touch his Natalie. Or was she just his best friend? Well, 
forget that, he thought. 

He set the bottle back in the refrigerator and quietly shut the door. Nick 
slowly turned around and walked to face Natalie. Nick took her hands in his 
and looked deeply into her face. He noticed that wet trails of tears were 
lining her face. Somehow those tears gave him courage to continue. 

"I don't care what you are thinking about doing, the fact is that you love me 
as much as I love you." "And no matter what ever else happens, nothing will 
change that!" He said. He dropped her hands and pulled her gently to his 
chest with his strong arms. "I am not going to let you get away that 
easily." He was cradling her head on his shoulder with one hand entwined in 
her hair and ran his other hand down her arm. He whispered into her hair as 
he stroked her arm. "I can't let you go now, you are too much apart of my 
life." 

Nick lifted her chin up and moved his lips to hers. Nick said between 
kisses, "I love you now and I will love you always." Natalie sighed into the 
kiss and time seemed to slip away. 

Nick led her to the sofa and they both sat down. He continued to kiss her 
softly and sandwiched the words "let's forget about the future for the next 
few hours." 

Natalie nodded her head in agreement not wanting the warm sweet kisses to 
stop. She had dreamed of Nick's caresses, his tender kisses, and his 
closeness. She reached up and started unbuttoning his shirt. She wanted 
nothing more than to feel his skin. His smell, touch of his tongue lightly 
tracing her lips, his breath in her ears was all that she had dreamed. She 
hesitated and thought to herself, "what do I do next?"
