Katniss
"Cato..."
I whispered, but before I could say what I wanted to he kissed me.
I can't believe this, he kissed me, the only boy that I have ever felt any attraction to kissed me, I was so shocked at the beginning of the kiss, but then I gave in a kissed him back, wrapping my small arms around his neck, he lifted me up, and pushed into the kiss. I moaned in pleasure and then broke it off.
I had him set me down, and told him
"Cato... We shouldn't do this we are in the Hunger Games for Christ's sake. You can't just kiss me and then expect me to accept the fact that you are going to kill me in a few days." I said as a million different things ran though my head.
"Who said I was going to kill you, I decided you are going to win, and I will do everything in my power to make sure you win." This wasn't the intimidating Cato I remember in the training center no this is a more gentle, and soft Cato, one that maybe I could grow to love.
"But why? I mean Cato, I'm just a girl that you met at the Hunger Games, nothing more. So why save me? When you could easily take out everyone and continue living?" I said, with shock, and excitement making me shake a little.
"Katniss, you deserve to win, you are the only one here that actually deserves it, I mean everyone just sees me as a killing machine that can't wait to spill blood, but to be honest I didn't want to do this, I had to do this." This was the first time he called me by my first name. I couldn't understand what was going on, I wanted to just be in his arms again, but curiosity got the best of me.
"What do you mean Cato?" this time I took a step closer and he didn't move.
"Come with me to my room and I'll explain" He said with a slight smile.
I was shocked but I was curious and I didn't want to leave him, he made me feel...special.
"Okay, no tricks?"
"No trick's, I promise" He replied taking my hand and bringing me to the elevators.
Cato
I couldn't believe it, the girl on fire said yes to coming up to my room, I was shocked. We entered the elevator and I pushed my floors button. When something occurred to me,
"Hey fire girl, is lover boy, and your drunken mentor gonna come looking for you?" I said with an edge to my voice at the thought of Lover Boy getting to see her night after night, day after day, he can spend more time with her then I ever can.
"No, They are all celebrating or something, they won't be back until tomorrow."
A smile crept up on my face with the thought of maybe later being able to retreat to her room with her.
The elevator was about to open with I canceled it and hit the button for her floor.
"What are you doing?" She asked with a slight hint of panic in her voice.
"I thought it would be better if we went to your room instead, I don't need them questioning me." She seemed to understand.
I just couldn't restrain myself any longer. While the elevator was moving up, I brought her up to me again and kissed her, she allowed it and kissed me back, her hands running through my hair, and my hands at the curve of her back, I wanted more of the girl on fire, and she wanted more of me.
The doors opened and we removed each other from our grasps, and walked to her room, her hand clasping mine and leading me away to her private room.
