Author's note: This will be a multi-part story written in one shots. I love this relationship and have very much wanted to explore it since I finished reading The Host a few days ago. Please feel free to review and let me know what you think. Also, please feel free to check out my Wanda/Mel one shot Confusion.
Happy reading!
Attempted
Kyle pulled back just enough for Sunny to see his face properly. His look was expectant after such a fierce kiss.
Her voice shook as she asked, "What was that?"
"I was trying something." He pressed another kiss to her mouth.
It was hard at first, but melted into something softer. Sunny's hands rested on Kyle's stomach. She slid them slowly up his chest and around his neck. Her fingers played in the hair at the base of his neck.
He pulled back once more. "Jodi?"
She shook her head. "I don't feel her. I'm so sorry."
He sighed and rested his forehead against hers. "I should just give up."
He was speaking to himself, but Sunny answered anyway. "No, please don't. I know she's in here somewhere. She has to be. Melanie and Lacey and the others were."
"Not all of them." He moved away, her arms falling limply to her sides.
"Well, not Pet's host. And a few of the others. But your Jodi is in here. I just know it."
He turned and started pacing in the small space they shared. "When was the last time you felt her?"
She was silent. That was answer enough. It had been years. Jodi faded away quickly after insertion. But she didn't want to admit that to him. She still wanted him to have some hope.
He turned around and took her face gently in his hands. "Sunny, you're not the girl I fell in love with. I know you have all of Jodi's feelings. Maybe she is still in there."
"Try again with the kissing." She suggested, her cheeks flushing a little at the proposal.
"I'll try more than that." He wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her up. He sat with her on the mattress just a couple steps away.
They kissed again, the soft kisses that sent butterflies through Sunny's stomach. She touched his hair, running it through her fingers. Kyle's hands rested on her back, unmoving. She took the chance to touch his face, scratchy under the beard growing on his cheeks. His gentle kiss was even rough because of it. She found she liked it. She smiled against his lips.
Kyle lifted his head and looked down at her expectantly once more. He shook his head, kissed the tip of her nose and then left the room quickly.
Sunny stared after him. What had she done wrong? Would he be back? He never went away from her for long.
