Nathaniel Colten Whitley — Colt to his friends — was brought up in a large house in the suburbs. It was hidden behind a treeline, in the middle of a large swathe of land. It was just as well with all of his parents' clients coming and going, it gave them privacy. And when he was home, it gave him somewhere to play. He grew up never wanting anything in his life; his parents provided everything he could need. And yet, there was something missing, something incorporeal, something he could never quite put his finger on. He didn't know what he was missing, but in time he would understand the part of his life that had always been a part of him. He was an average student, average grades, played sports, basketball, hockey, football. He made the school team and had plenty of interest from college scouts in later years. He found something he excelled at. He graduated, took a year off before taking any of the opportunities laid out in front of him carefully picking and choosing what he did with his life. He would never have to work, but he wanted something to spend his days doing. Little did he know that choice would be made for him. During his year off his parents were involved in a car crash. The fire department rushed to the scene but couldn't extract them from the wreckage before the spilled fuel caught on fire. He didn't blame them for saving themselves, he admired them, wanted to be like them. Fearless in the face of adversity, selfless trying to save others. He vowed to become a firefighter, someone who would save lives. Then his world was turned upside down as he found out what he never knew about his parents. With the family home left to him, all the keys to all the locks, he had to find out what was in the room he had never seen. On the second floor of the house, he couldn't even see in from the outside, and the windows were frosted. What were his parents getting up to with their clients in that room that required all that secrecy? He opened the door and he knew what was missing from his life. He found out his parents were professional Dominants, and their clients came to see them to satisfy their needs. All the privacy, the windows, the locked doors, the soundproofing, the house in the middle of several acres behind a treeling hiding it from public view. It all made perfect sense. It filled the hole in his life, and he vowed to never let that part of him go once he had it. He had a few short relationships, some as a sub, some as a Dom, all of which didn't last. There was something missing, a little 'Je ne sais quois' he couldn't put his finger on. He always felt as if a part of him was missing, and each one took another part with them when they parted. He threw himself into college picking up the medical skills he needed to become an EMT with his local fire department. In his spare time, he pored over books, everything he could read on the internet, visited meetings and spoke to people, taking in everything he could about the lifestyle his parents led. Some of the people could have been his parents' clients, but he didn't care. He became the youngest EMT for Ambulance 51 in its long history, rising through the ranks until he reached Captain. He took pleasure from everything he could do in his job, from saving lives, from rescuing people. Then he met [[profiles:katiewhitley|Katherine Nora Donnelly.]] Katie. A whirlwind romance began when he visited a club recommended at a meeting, somewhere he could meet someone, hopefully, someone who would fill the hole in his heart. She wormed her way into his heart, papering over the cracks and giving him the opportunity to heal. ===== Events ===== Took Katie as his sub 'Kitten' after meeting her in a club (he doesn't argue about the logistics of the multiverse that were involved) where she opened up musically when he sat with her. She invited him back to her studio and he provided her with a public collar, a silver chain denoting his ownership, and he brought her into his world of Dominance and submission. Overheard Katie's conversation with an unknown person about someone known as 'Shea' inquiring after her mother and her father Niall Shea. She denied all knowledge. Nate was unaware at that moment that someone was trying to hunt her down as leverage for the Shea Irish Mob. [[profiles:seeleybooth|Seeley Booth]] interjected and pulled in a number of favours to 'kill' Katherine Nora Donnelly and give her the identity of Kathleen Nichele McMichael. Kitten first saw Nate's temper come out (in the form of a heavy bag, martial arts 'routing') as he feared he couldn't protect her. [[:cases:185-ms-3544|Malachi Shea]] managed to find Kitten during one of Nate's shifts. Booths Seeley and [[profiles:danielabooth|Daniela]] were involved as they were local, first responders. Daniela tried to defuse the situation when Malachi requested a female negotiator but none were available and ended up shooting him. Nate only arrived after the shooting to provide support to her later. He had to retrain her to enjoy something that Malachi made feel was something she hated. He would always help her into the light. Proposed during a session of sensory deprivation with a beautiful ring of platinum and rose gold, with a mounted diamond. She said yes! The wedding is still undergoing planning, but Nate has invited Seeley to be his Best Man, Kitten asked Daniela to be her Matron of Honour. {{gallery> :galleries:nate?nocache }}
