Author's Notes: Hi, readers. I'd like to present a new Power Rangers fic. It's an AU with no Ranger powers whatsoever and has characters living normal lives. It focuses on the original six with the primary focus on Tommy and Kim. It takes place in 2010. The idea of this fic came to mind when I wondered what would happen if Tommy and Kim were having an affair behind his controlling and posessive wife's back in which it's been going on for a year. As a result, this fic was born. Like "Conflicts of the Heart," this will be a rather short fic compared to most of my chaptered ones. It has sexual content. If that makes you feel uncomfortable, don't read the parts that have it. Otherwise, you may read it at your own risk. If you are into Tommy/Kim, check out ToxicWednesday's fics focusing on them. They are great. I hope you enjoy this fic. Constructive criticism is welcome.

Chapter 1: Being Together

The midevening moon beamed its light on an Angel Grove neighborhood in late September. A barred owl sat on a branch near the top of a tree in the Jennings residence's front yard. The house happened to be large with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. A basement contained one of the bathrooms. A chain-linked fence surrounded the backyard. A soccer goal stood in the middle of it with a soccer ball nearby. A swing could be seen on the front porch.

Kim moaned excitedly as Tommy thrusted upward into her while sitting up in her queen-sized bed in her room. She had her legs wrapped around his waist. The room was medium-sized. It had bright red walls, a pine dresser, and an oak nightstand. A TV/DVD combo sat on top of the dresser. A desk containing a computer with a cable modem attached to the wall was in front of the window. Green carpet covered the entire floor.

He kissed her roughly, one hand going into her hair and the other to the small of her back. She sighed ecstatically as he thrusted harder into her. She leaned her head back at his planting butterfly kisses on her neck. He moved to her ear to trace it with his tongue. He nibbled on her earlobe before giving it a gentle blow. He grabbed a fistful of hair.

The couple's get-togethers weren't like most. In fact, they were the result of them starting a passionate affair a year ago. Tommy was having problems with his wife, Jenny. She hated he spent time with his friends, especially his ex-girlfriend, Kim, but she was justified spending time with hers. She was away often. This allowed him to hang out with Jason, Zack, Trini, Billy, and Kim, whom were his childhood friends. He was careful not to tell her he had been with them, but she would become very angry if he accidentally let it slip that he had.

Tommy's parents, Barry and Ava, adopted him after his birth mother abandoned him at Angel Grove Memorial Hospital as a newborn. They divorced not long after he turned twelve due to constant fighting during the last two years of the marriage. His father got custody of him while his mother had visitation every weekend. He promised himself he'd never divorce his wife and make their marriage work. He and Kim started dating in September 1993. They broke up in May 1997, which the same month as their graduation from Angel Grove High School. He went on to become a police officer. Jerome mentored him. He completed his training two years later. She began helping her parents, Darren and Caroline, run their gas station called the Hart Gas Station.

In July 2001, he met Jenny Piper, who had moved to town seven months earlier, when they accidentally bumped into each other at the Youth Center. Before then, she worked as a nurse in Topeka. They began dating a month later. Kim met Ryan Jennings, who worked as a nurse at Angel Grove Memorial Hospital in September. They began dating that same month. The couples occasionally had double dates.

A year after they first started dating, Tommy proposed to Jenny during a romantic dinner at O'Charley's. She was surprised, but she accepted the proposal. Everyone supported the engagement. They married on December 5, 2002. A month later, Ryan proposed to Kim during a walk on the beach. She accepted the proposal after expressing surprise. Their friends and family showed their support of the engagement. They married on March 15, 2003.

In April 2007, Ryan began feeling weak. He developed bruises on many parts of his body. The lymph nodes in his neck became very swollen. He was diagnosed with terminal leukemia by oncologist Oliver Clemens. He was given six to ten months to live. The news devastated Kim. It shocked the others, and they offered comfort to her. He died on October 18 with her at his hospital bedside.

In October 2008, Jenny started to become controlling and possessive toward Tommy. She accused him of spending too much time with his friends and demanded he stop. They got into arguments whenever he went out to see any of them, even if it was just to help them with housework. He often confided in Kim about it. She encouraged him to divorce his wife, but he said he wouldn't because he didn't want to end up like his parents. Jason, Zack, Trini, and Billy became aware of the marital problems and tried to sway him to no avail.

In September 2009, Kim invited Tommy over to her house to spend time with her because Jenny had gone to Caribou for a medical conference. They kissed unexpectedly. They found they were unable to hold back their desires and engaged in passionate kissing. They removed their clothes and made love in her bed. After that, they met each other in secret as much as they could. Many secret meetings occurred in Angel Grove Park. Most were on Friday and Saturday nights. Because Jenny was a heavy sleeper, this enabled Tommy to sneak out of their house easily.

Jason and Trini found out about Tommy and Kim's affair five months later when they caught them making love in the guest room of Zack's house during a get-together. They, Zack, and Billy agreed to help them keep it secret. Jenny went to Topeka to visit her parents, Joey and Karla, for seven days beginning on Sunday. This gave Tommy the perfect opportunity to see Kim. In fact, he decided to spend Friday night and Saturday morning at her house. He would pick Jenny up from Angel Grove International Airport after he got off work Sunday afternoon. Kim would also be working the same day. So would Jason at Scott Sporting Goods owned by his parents, Jerry and Nina. Trini would be working at Jones Law Firm as well. All four of them had Monday off. They were planning to spend the afternoon at Kim's house after they had lunch with Billy and Zack.

Kim kissed her boyfriend's shoulder. She nibbled at it before blowing on it. She traveled to his ear. She proceeded to trace it with her tongue. He was unable to stop a moan from leaving his mouth. She made her way to his neck to smother it with hungry kisses. She sucked on it hard. He leaned his head back. He emitted a loud groan. The fire began to build within them.

"Oh, that feels great, Kim," Tommy said with much huskiness. He groaned when she licked at his neck. "Oh, yes! Yes!"

"That's it, Tommy," Kim responded. "Let every bit of it out."

She pulled back and kissed him passionately. She moved her hands over his body at a slow yet steady pace. She slowed it down, almost as if she were teasing him. She kissed his shoulder. She went to his neck and nibbled on it. She gave it a hard blow. He growled intensely as he slid his other hand into her hair. He gripped it so tightly that he looked about ready to rip it out. The fire within him was building to such a strong point that he thought he would explode any minute. He had no doubt it was doing the same in her.

He decided he was tired of sitting up. He pushed her on her back roughly. He kissed her hard, his thrusts growing harder and faster. The fire in him was reaching its peak. He slid a hand between them and massaged her clit. She let out a low yet excited moan. He pulled away from her and looked into her eyes. He clenched his teeth so tightly that they looked as if they would break.

"Come for me, Kim," Tommy growled fiercely. "I want to feel you come."

Tommy thrusted even harder and faster into his girlfriend. They wrapped their arms tightly around each other. Their climax was almost at its peak. He buried his face into her neck. He kissed it while grabbing at her hair. She rolled her head back into the pillow, an ecstatic scream leaving her mouth. She grabbed at the sheet with both hands. She gripped it so tightly that it appeared she was about to rip it.

He finally released himself into her. She echoed her release to him three seconds later. He was unable to keep himself up and collapsed on top of her. He panted hard, as did she. She ran her hands over his hair. Their heartbeats returned to normal along with their breathing. He rolled off her and laid on his back. She snuggled up to him. She pulled the sheet over their bodies. She laid her head on his chest. She sighed contently at his slipping his arms around her.

"What a wonderful lovemaking session," she exclaimed.

"It sure was," he agreed. "Moreover, we made love four times over the course of an hour."

"I know," Kim squealed delightfully. "I see it as us being teens all over again. We were unable to get enough of each other back then." She smiled.

"My favorite place for us to make love was Uncle John's cabin. We'd do it so many times that we'd lose count," Tommy said.

"I remember one time you came into the bathroom after I had taken a shower. I was brushing my hair while I was wrapped in a towel. You touched my shoulders and kissed my temple. You told me how happy you were to be with me. I told you I felt the same way," Kim explained softly.

"Then I picked you up and hoisted you over my shoulder. I carried you into the master bedroom while you beat me with your fists. I threw you on the bed and got on top of you. I kissed you and pulled your towel off. I took off my clothes. We made love for hours," Tommy said, smiling at that memory.

She giggled. "I have to admit I loved it when you picked me up and hoisted me over your shoulder. I still do. I wish I could do the same to you."

He smirked. "If we find a magic lamp, we can ask the genie to grant you a wish for super strength. Then you can pick me up and hoist me over your shoulder. Just don't lose your grip on me."

Kim gave Tommy a mock glare and smacked him on the chest. He ruffled her hair before reaching down to give her butt a hard pinch. She jumped and balled her hand into a fist. She presented it to his face.

"If you pinch my butt again, you will get a knuckle sandwich," Kim threatened playfully and sat up. The sheet fell off her chest.

"Okay," Tommy answered, pushing himself into a sitting position. He reached behind her and pinched her butt again. "Oops. My hand forgot." He did another pinch. "Oops. My hand forgot."

"All right, you asked for it!" Kim growled in mock anger. "Here comes the knuckle sandwich!"

She pressed her fist in the area between his eyes. He groaned and fell on his back. He spread his arms apart. He twitched three times before losing consciousness. She leaned close to him. She screamed when he sprung to life and grabbed her. He pulled her on top of him. She smacked him on the chest.

"You are so mean, Tommy," she said.

"And proud of it," he said with pride. "Don't try to change me. I mean it."

"I won't. I love you just the way you are," Kim commented with a smile.

"When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change. Cause you're amazing. Just the way you are. And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while. Cause, girl, you're amazing. Just the way you are. Yeah," Tommy sang beautifully.

"I love it when you sing Bruno Mars's Just the Way You Are. You do great every time," Kim complimented.

"Why, thank you, Kim," Tommy said warmly. "You're a great singer yourself. Everyone always wonders why you didn't pursue a singing career. You would've been very successful." He shrugged.

"Well, I thought my parents could use some help at their gas station. It became so enjoyable serving the public that I've stuck with it for twelve years. Besides, almost all agents are interested in young singers. I am over thirty years old. They consider singers that ago too old to help them careers in their world," Kim pointed out a little dejectedly.

"There just might be an agent who is interested in a singer your age," Tommy said hopefully. "You never know."

She kissed him on the lips and rubbed noses with him. They pressed their foreheads together, their breathing soft and steady.

"I love you so much, Beautiful," Tommy whispered lovingly.

"I love you too, Handsome," Kim said with just as much love. She pulled the sheet back over them before returning her head to his chest. She felt him put his arms around her. "I never saw myself becoming the other woman in a relationship."

"I never saw myself starting an affair with my ex-girlfriend," Tommy admitted. "She's not my ex-girlfriend anymore. She really is my girlfriend."

"She could also be called your mistress," Kim pointed out.

"Yes, but I prefer girlfriend," Tommy said, giving her a small hug. "It sounds so much better."

Kim nodded in agreement. She ran her fingertips over Tommy's chest and clicked her tongue twice. She made her way to his stomach. She traced circles into it.

"I can't believe it's been a year since we started our affair," Tommy whispered in amazement. "It feels like only yesterday when we made love in your bed for the first time in years."

"Yeah," Kim agreed. "Since Jenny isn't around all that often, we are able to meet in secret quite a bit. Our friends don't approve of cheating, but they support us and help us keep the affair secret."

"What we are doing is morally wrong, but it feels so right," Tommy commented. "I am happy whenever I am with you."

Kim smiled. "I am happy whenever I am with you too. It makes me wish we never broke up in the first place."

"Me too. At the same time, teen romances almost never survive beyond high school. I don't know if our relationship would've gotten that far," Tommy murmured with a shrug.

"It doesn't matter now. We got married to other people," Kim said, licking her lips. "My husband has been gone for nearly three years." She frowned. "I do miss him."

Tommy sighed heavily. "My wife turned controlling and possessive without any warning whatsoever." He shook his head in disbelief. "We were happy for six years. Now, our marriage is unhappy because of her."

"Some people become crazy after being normal all their lives," Kim replied. She sat up and held the sheet to her chest. "There is no preparation for it."

"That's true," Tommy said and pushed himself into a sitting positon. "The last five days have been wonderful. Even better is we are spending tonight and tomorrow morning together." He kissed her forehead. "There is no place on Earth I'd rather be than with you."

"There is no place on Earth I'd rather be than you with you either," Kim murmured, suppressing a yawn.

The lovebirds shared three tender kisses. They pressed their foreheads together and breathed in each other's scents. Tommy laid back down, taking his girlfriend with him. He sighed in content when he felt her place her head on his chest. He slid his hand over her shoulder.

"We've been fortunate to keep our affair under wraps for a year. Unfortunately, it won't remain a secret forever," he said with a frown.

"Once the townspeople know about it, I will be blamed for wrecking your marriage to Jenny. Society doesn't like it when women become involved with attached men. They always blame them, even if the men instigated the relationships," she growled angrily.

"I was the one who instigated this relationship. If anyone should be blamed, it should be me," Tommy commented bluntly. "I am the unfaithful one, not you." He scoffed frustratingly. "I want to punch out the person who said the mistress should be solely blamed for the demise of a marriage."

"Me too," Kim agreed, nodding sharply. "I understand why many people oppose divorce. They are religious. They don't want to end up like their divorced parents. They don't want to deprive their children of a two-parent home. They don't want to look bad in society's eyes, especially women." She snorted.

"Not wanting to end up like my parents isn't the only reason I won't ask Jenny for a divorce. You're another one. I believe she'd go postal on me if I told her I was divorcing her because of you. She might even go after you," Tommy mumbled in some fear. "I don't want that to happen."

"I understand your fear, Tommy, but you can't let that control you," Kim said seriously. She took her head off his chest to look at him. "I'm more than willing to wait for you. At the same time, you can't keep going like this. You will have to confess what you've been doing to her at some point."

"There is also a chance that someone will see us being affectionate in public and tip her off. That will make her even angrier than she would be if I told her about the affair," Tommy said, his body shaking a bit. "Let's not forget about our parents. I have little doubt my parents will be angry with me for being unfaithful to my wife."

"I can see my parents being angry that I got involved with my married ex-boyfriend," Kim commented, biting her lip. "He's not my ex-boyfriend anymore. He really is my boyfriend."

"Our friends' parents don't know about the affair either," Tommy pointed out seriously. "Once they know, it is likely they will be angry at them for keeping such a secret." He swallowed hard.

"I agree," Kim replied, sniffling softly. "Everything is so complicated. Then again, who said life would be easy?"

He expressed determination. "One thing is clear. I will never stop loving you."

She choked back a sob. "I will never stop loving you either."

Tommy and Kim kissed passionately. Their tongues touched, causing them to groan loudly. They dueled for control. He turned their bodies until he was on top of her and in between her legs. He trailed kisses to her neck and buried his face there. He sucked on it hard. She moaned softly. Their hearts pounded in their chests. Fire built within their veins.

"Oh, that hits the spot, Tommy," she whispered seductively. She whimpered at his nibbling on it. "Oh, shit! Oh!"

"Good girl, Kim," he said with much sexual intensity. "Let every bit of it out. I am far from done with you."

Tommy captured her lips in a possessive kiss. He plunged his tongue into her mouth. She whimpered with much excitement. She slid her hands into his hair, gripping it hard. He touched her breasts. He teased her nipples with his thumbs. This hardened them. They became lost in another round of lovemaking.
