I felt his lips brush against my neck, "Hm… Well I guess that would be okay."
All too eagerly he said, "Alright! I'll go start the shower and you can get some towels and get undressed and then come meet me!"
I watch him walk away. Peeta and I have been together for a while now, but we've never done anything sexual before. I've seen him naked once. I had just come back from hunting and I needed a shower. Peeta wasn't in our "living room" so I walked straight into the bathroom and there he was laying in the bath. Naked. He didn't even look embarrassed. Of course I blushed and turned out quickly. I have to admit that he looked really good. I brushed the thought away and grabbed two towels from the linen closet right outside the bathroom door. I know he said to get undressed out here, but I couldn't walk in and have him see me naked all at once.
I walk into the bathroom and Peeta was already in the shower facing the other way so I could only see his backside. He looks so good. All defined. I started to feel something stir in me and I look away.
He turns around. "I thought you were going to get undressed out there?"
I don't want to look at him because I know he is naked and I know that I won't be able to help but to stare at his penis. "Yeah, well. I decided against it. I thought I'd just get undressed in here."
He seems perfectly fine with it. He watches me as I take off my boots, and my shirt. He gets a little squirmy after that. I slide my pants off. I was in front of him in nothing but my panties and bra. I look back at him and his eyes are glued to me. He seems to enjoy what he is seeing so I keep going. I unclasped my bra and let it slide to the floor, and then I pull my underwear down. There is no way he didn't know I was blushing. I walk toward the shower, open the glass door and stepp in. There was enough room for both of us to fit comfortably.
"Mmm. Katniss, you are so sexy." He whispers to me as he left a trail of kisses down my neck. It feels good.
"Well, Peeta. I have an odd feeling that you enjoy what you're seeing." I have no clue where that came from. I never have this much courage.
He laughs and backs up a little, "Sorry, Katniss. You can't blame me. I like what I see. I like it a lot. Of course I'm going to get aroused."
"We're in here to shower, Peeta. Nothing more." I told him hitting a few buttons that would give me shampoo.
He looked disappointed but he didn't complain. Peeta was always like that. He was always so nice. That's one of the reasons that is making me fall for him so hard. He never pushes me to do anything that I don't want to do.
I finish showering before he's finished. I walked out of the shower, grabbed the towel, and wrapped it around me. I looked back at him in the shower one more time. He was looking right back at me with his beautiful blue eyes. I could see in his eyes that he wanted me. I turned away and walk out of the bathroom.
I walk over to the dresser and pull out a pair of blur jeans and a dark green shirt. I took my time putting it on thinking about what was taking Peeta so long in the shower. I didn't really want to think about it because I knew what he was doing.
I lay down on the bed and tried to think about something else. It didn't work too well. I thought about how Peeta should hurry because he we're going to be late for dinner if he took too long. I wonder what we're going to have for dinner. Probably the deer I caught in some kind of gravy that is either too thick or too thin. Maybe some green beans, and whatever they call mash potatoes. I can't wait to be back in District 12 where Peeta can cook for us. He actually makes food that looks and tastes like food. But who am I to complain? Food is food. At least I get to eat.
Peeta walks out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He looks so good. I've thought this too many times today. He didn't bother to wipe himself down before he walked out of the bathroom so the water was dripping down his chest and back. I look away because I can feel that thing stir inside my stomach again.
"After I brush my hair do you want to walk to the kitchen?" Peeta asked.
"Yeah, sure. Just let me put my shoes on." I got up and grabbed socks and my shoes. I sat back on the bed and put my shoes on.
Peeta and I made our way out of our compartment and we walked down the hallways. Peeta was right about what he said earlier. I don't leave our compartment for much except for when I'm going to hunt, or going to dinner. I think about Buttercup for a minute and make a mental note to ask Greasy Sae to let me bring a little bit of deer meat back for him.
We enter the cafeteria and it's practically empty. Peeta drops my hand and walks over to a guy named Avery. They've hung out a few times since we lived here. Avery is thinking about going to District 12 with us. He doesn't have any family here anymore. His mother died when he was little kid, and his father died in the war. He was an only child. Avery is about the same age as us maybe a few months younger. They've really become close.
"What's up, Peeta?" He asks as they do that weird handshake that becomes a hug.
"Nothing really. Just thought we'd come down here early to see what's for dinner, and to make sure we have a good spot in line to make sure we get to have enough of the delicious food."
We all laugh at this. "Well, I'll tell you guys that it involves deer meat. I caught a nice size dear earlier today."
Avery looked puzzled, "Katniss, how do you bring it down here? I mean, the deer must weigh a lot more than you do."
"I've been hunting for years, Avery. I guess I kind of got used to carrying things." I reply.
Peeta says his goodbye and we walk over to the window to start the line. Yep. I was right. Dinner looks to be deer meat in some sort of gravy that is too thick looking, green beans, and mash potatoes. I'm good at this game. I ask Greasy Sae if I can have a little bag with deer meat for Buttercup. She walks away for a minute and the hands me a bag. We take our food and sit down at a table. Within a few minutes Annie and Johanna join us.
Annie is having a pretty hard time since Finnick died. They had just gotten married. He never got to meet his son, Dylan. He's beautiful. He has Finnick's eyes. Annie's trying really hard to be a single mom. We all know it's hard for her. We all pitch in to help with Dylan.
Annie looks up at me, "Katniss, you look lovely today. Something is very vibrant about you."
I smile at her, "Thank you, Annie. That's very sweet of you. Where's Dylan?"
"Oh, he's back at my compartment with Delly. She said that she wasn't hungry and that she'd watch him for me so I could eat. I'll feed him when I get back." She smiles and looks back down at her plate.
We finish our meal in silence. Peeta and I are the first to get done. We say goodbye and we get up to go back to our compartment. We walk hand in hand down the hallway.
"You know we won't have to go to dinner, or walk down hallways in almost nine days." He says as he squeezes my hand.
I stop to hug him, "Oh, Peeta. I cannot wait. You have no idea. It's going to so nice to be able to be in a house. Our house."
We start walking again. We go through a few more hallways and get back to our apartment. We get inside and Peeta goes to the restroom. I pull out one of his big shirts, take everything I have off except my underwear, and throw the shirt over me. I go and lay in bed and wait for Peeta to get out. He comes out in his boxers. I feel that thing in my stomach stir again. I don't understand what this man does to me. He lays in bed next to me and I turn my back against him and he puts his arm around me.
"Nine more days Katniss and we'll be doing this in our own bed in our own house." He whispers to me.
"That's going to be amazing. I love you, Peeta."
I can fee him smile into my hair, "I love you too, Katniss."
