Okay.  This is my very first sort of adult fan fiction. I'm  not even sure it 
is bad enough to be considered adult.  I'm sending  it out on this list 
because it hints at making love.  If this can be  sent out on NNPack, tell me.  
Sorry if this isn't...uh, 'steamy'  enough for the list.  : ) 

Blame only me if there are  mistakes because they are solely my own.  I wrote 
this off an  inspiration I had this morning when I was listening to Garth 
Brooks.   

Song Disclaimer: The story is set to "The Red Strokes" by  Garth Brooks.  I'm 
not making any profit off the use of these  wonderful lyrics.  Just borrowing 
the lyrics to set the mood.   Thanks!

FK Disclaimer:  I'm not making profit off Nick  and Natalie either.  Just 
taking them for a spin, dance, and a little  stress reliever : )

FTP site can archive, fkfanfic can  too.  So can Mel Buckley (I'll e-mail you 
it separately to make sure  you get it).  If jadfe thinks it's good for their 
site, knock your  socks off.  You can archive it too.  If anyone else wants 
too,  sure, go ahead.  Just tell me so I can brag to my friends : )  LOL  

Well, here it goes...


The  Red Strokes
by Laura Janvrin
March 2001
 

Nick  looked at the finished product with a sigh.  The sun, the moon, dusk,  
dawn.  Such contrasts, yet, they were his life.   Contrasts.  He and Natalie 
were contrasts.  Maybe that's why he  loved her.  She was what he was not.  She 
was the other half of  his soul.  He sighed longingly. 
 
Nick was  pulled out of his revere by the music.  He turned sharply to see 
that  Natalie had let herself in and put on a Garth Brooks CD.   

"Where  were you?"  She asked softly when she noticed he had turned and was  
staring at her on the sofa. 
 
"Here.  I was thinking about now.  You.  Me.   Us."  The words were so 
simple.  Normally, he would not have  said them, but his painting had turned up 
his 
emotions to the point they  were impossible to hide anymore.
 
Natalie  smiled shyly and looked away from his serious expression.  She said  
nothing though to change the subject, which gave him hope. 
 
"Natalie..."  She looked up at him once again with her big  beautiful green 
eyes.
 
When he  said no more, she stood up and walked over to him and his painting.  
 She looked at the canvas, which was being bathed in moonlight.  

"It's  beautiful, Nick," she whispered in awe.
 
"Not as  beautiful as you."  The words were almost so quiet he wasn't even  
sure he said them.   
 
She  looked at him in surprise.  "You think I'm beautiful?"
 
"Oh,  Natalie...," he reached out and brushed her cheek with the back of his  
hand.  She leaned into his touch as if she were starving for just  that.  He 
quickly realized the feelings were mutual.    

Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine 
Two shadows starting to  softly combine
 
Nick  listened to the words of the song that came through.  "The Red  
Strokes."  They described what was happening here, now, between two  hearts, 
between 
he and Natalie.
 
The  picture they're painting 
Is one of the heart 
And to those who have  seen it 
It's a true work of art 
 
"Natalie?  Can I have this dance?"  His words were a  horse whisper. 
 
Natalie  nodded with a smile as she stepped into his embrace.
 
Oh, the  red strokes 
Passions uncaged 
Thundering moments of tenderness rage  
Oh, the red strokes 
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)  
Burning the night like the dawn 
 
Nick  nuzzled Natalie chestnut mane with a sigh as he pulled her close.   
They fit perfectly.  Nick kissed her hair softly.
 
Steam on  the window, salt in a kiss 
Two hearts have never pounded like this  
Inspired by a vision 
That they can't command 
Erasing the  borders 
With each brush of a hand 
 
"Nick..." Natalie whispered in his ear as his lips reached the skin  of her 
neck.  He could hear the love in her voice.  And the  desire.  The same desire 
that was rising in him.
 
Oh, the  red strokes 
Passions uncaged 
Thundering moments of tenderness rage  
Oh, the red strokes 
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)  
Burning the night like the dawn 
 
She  turned her head to face him more.  With a low moan, he finally  claimed 
her lips.
 
Oh, the  blues will be blue and the jealousies green 
But when love picks its  shade it demands to be seen 
 
Without  even remembering how they ever got there, they were in front of the  
fireplace.  Then they were undressed.  And then Nick and Natalie  were 
finally loving in a way that Nick never through they  would.
 
Oh, the  red strokes 
Passions uncaged 
Thundering moments of tenderness rage  
Oh, the red strokes 
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)  
Burning the night like the dawn 
 
"Nick...Nick..." His name was so beautiful on her lips.    
He said her name in return, along with a declaration he never meant so  much. 
 "I love you, Natalie.  Oh, how I love you."
 
Oh, the  red strokes 
Passions uncaged 
Thundering moments of tenderness rage  
Oh, the red strokes 
Tempered and strong (Fearlessly drawn)  
Burning the night like the dawn  
 
"I love  you, Nick," she said mere seconds before he bit. 
 
Steam on  the window, salt in a kiss 
Two hearts have never pounded like  this
 
Nick  smiled at her smiling face.  He stopped in time.
 

The  end
