They went back to Soap's flat three days later. Katie felt refreshed by the trip; getting away from the city was just what they needed.
After they got home and cleaned up, they settled onto the couch, watching tv, cuddling together. Katie's heart was beating faster than usual. She couldn't seem to calm down. Soap observed her anxiously, biting his lower lip.
"Are you okay?" He asked cautiously.
"Hmm, yeah. Just nervous I guess," she replied.
"Well, relax. There's nothing to worry about, right?" He gave her a reassuring smile, squeezing her knee gently.
"Yeah...of course. I'm sorry," she apologized.
"It's okay. I understand." He assured her. He continued to hold her hand, tracing circles on the top of it with his thumb.
"I just wanted to ask you.....was that night at the cabin just a one-time thing? " She bit her bottom lip, glancing up shyly at him.
"Of course not. There will always be another time, if you want it." He answered softly. She nodded slightly. His heart melted a little. He pulled her close again.
"What about us, though? What about forever? What if I have to move or change my name after the trial is over? What if you just up and leave because of a top secret mission and you never come back?"
"I can promise you, Katie. No matter what happens, I won't ever leave you. If there's any way I can help you, let me know. I love you. That hasn't changed. And I don't plan on stopping loving you anytime soon." He said, staring deeply into her emerald green eyes.
He leaned down and planted a gentle kiss on her lips. Her heart pounded faster as his lips brushed against hers. Her cheeks became warm. She felt her stomach tighten in nervousness as her hands trembled. He took them gently in his and brought them to his mouth, kissing them gently. She smiled softly, resting her hands on his chest, feeling her heartbeat accelerate. He smiled, his breath fanning her lips. Their foreheads touched lightly, his hands still cupping her hands. She felt a rush of butterflies fill her stomach, and suddenly she was very aware of him. He pulled her close to him, letting her straddle his lap. She wrapped her legs around his waist, her eyes locked on his.
"Don't think I haven't noticed those sparks in your eyes." he whispered huskily into her ear. His hands began to roam up and down her back, causing goosebumps to break out along her arms. Katie wrapped her arms around his neck, resting against his strong body.
"Want to go to bed?" He asked.
"Can I get a shower first?
" she asked teasingly.
"Okay, fine." He laughed. He slid off the couch and led her to the bathroom. He helped her undress and step into the shower. She stepped under the warm spray, leaning back and closing her eyes as the hot water rained down on her. He stripped and got in with her, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"You're amazing." He whispered in her ear.
"You are too."
He leaned back a little and leaned in to give her a passionate kiss. Then, he pushed her back into the wall, locking her in between his arms. The kiss was deep and intense. The hot water pelting their bodies was the only sound in the room. Katie moaned softly as Soapy moved his mouth lower, trailing kisses along her neck. She ran her fingers through his damp hair, holding his head in place as he kissed her jawline. He ran his tongue along her collarbone, making her heart race. She felt herself becoming aroused. She lifted her hands to grasp his head and pull his face back towards hers. He met her lips, kissing them fervently and running his tongue in her mouth. She responded hungrily and returned his passion with equal intensity. He lowered himself and laid her back against the tile floor. He cleaned her body, turning the shower off as he finished. He slipped out of the shower quickly, wrapping a towel around his hips and looking at her with desire shining in his hazel eyes. His eyes travelled from her feet to her face, lingering there for a second before he bent forward and kissed her deeply.
He left her naked on the floor and dried off, picking her up bridal style and wrapping a towel around her. They made their way to the bedroom and crawled into bed, lying side by side, his arm slung across her waist, her head on his chest. His fingers started moving gently through her blonde hair. After a while, her breathing slowed down. She ran her fingers over his hard torso, exploring the planes of his abs. He sighed. Her finger reached the top of his boxers, caressing the soft fabric.
"Oh god, Katie....stop," he mumbled, pulling her closer, burying his nose in her neck, inhaling the fresh smell of her shampoo. Her fingers trailed over the ridges of his ribs.
"Steaming bloody Jesus, lass....you're making me hard again." He groaned.
She giggled and placed a trail of kisses along his chest. He rolled over on top of her, taking in her scent, inhaling deeply.
"Katie, I need you so badly right now." He breathed, kissing her neck. "I'm shaking, just dying to touch you..." His voice was deep and tender. He trailed his lips down her neck, nuzzling her shoulder as he did so.
"Please," she whimpered. He chuckled. She arched her back, allowing him better access to her skin. He sucked and nibbled on the spot below her ear, drawing a gasp from her.
"Oh God...." she breathed. His fingers played across her soft skin, caressing the fragile skin of her belly. His strong fingers went to the coarse hair of her pubic area, rubbing and teasing her sensitive flesh. She squirmed beneath him. His fingers found the fragile skin of her folds and stroked lightly. She gasped softly, arching her back. Her fingers gripped his shoulders tightly. He chuckled.
"Let me do this for you...let me feel you...let me make you feel all of the things you've been repressing for so long." He said seductively. He positioned himself between her legs, running his large hands up and down her thighs. She opened her legs wider for him. He leaned down, kissing her gently. Her breath came in short gasps. He parted her legs further and entered her, slowly. She cried out at the sudden invasion.
"Ahhh, Oh God...." She gasped.
"I'm
here, Katie..I'm here..." He whispered, rocking rhythmically inside her, increasing the pace.
Her breaths quickened even more. He panted, pressing himself harder into her. He held her tight, rocking back and forth.
"Yes....yes....more....please....I'm ready......" She whined quietly. His movements increased, causing Katie to moan louder. Soon, the sensations were overwhelming. She could feel herself getting close. They came with the heat of the sun.
"Come..." he grunted, clenching tightly onto her. A loud roar filled the room, filling both of their hearts with euphoria. He collapsed on top of her, panting heavily. She lay in a daze for a few minutes after, trying to catch her breath. When she finally came down, John had her wrapped in his arms, playing with the ends of her hair. She gazed up at his face, tracing his cheekbones with her fingertips. He looked like some kind of god. She couldn't believe how beautiful and powerful he was.
He stared lovingly into her beautiful eyes. He leaned down and captured her lips with his own.
"Stay here," he said softly, getting up from the bed. He soaked up a washcloth in the sink, wetting it with warm water and returning to the bed. He gently cleaned the sweat off her face, kissing her forehead. He continued to clean the rest of her body, cleaning every inch of the sticky sweat that had accumulated on her. When the whole mess was finally gone, he climbed back under the covers, snuggling next to her as she nestled into his warmth. He wrapped his arm around her, holding her close. Her head rested against his shoulder.
His lips pressed themselves firmly against the crown of her head. She curled her toes. She loved the fact that her body fit perfectly perfectly against his. Soap lifted her chin, running his thumb over jawline.
He gazed deeply into her eyes. She blushed, meeting his gaze with uncertainty. His fingers gently stroked the tip of her nose. His eyes sparkled with love. She felt her heart swell. She knew they had to talk about everything, but right now all that mattered was being in each others arms. He kissed her forehead tenderly.
"Sleep now, lassie." He smiled. He pressed one last sweet kiss on her forehead before placing her head on his chest once more. His arm tightened around her waist protectively, bringing her closer to him.
They fell asleep together on his warm and comfortable bed.
