Jenkins/Cassandra
Romance/hurt/comfort
A hand running through his hair and down his neck slowly woke him from his sleep as he hugged a little tighter to Cassandra she put a kiss on his forehead.
"Good morning..." She whispered softly. Jenkins tilled his head up and put a kiss on her collar bone.
"Good morning my lady."
Quickly resizing he hadn't moved all night from when he had fallen asleep, his right arm was killing him and he had lost feeling in it. No wanting too but needing to he rolled himself over to his back and stretched out his arm.
"oowww, these old bones don't handle staying in one spot all night" He joked, Cassandra rolled over to her side to face him and started to rub his shoulder.
"You were sleeping hard...and that snoring..."
"hey..." Jenkins brought his arm down and playfully and lightly smacked her on the side of her butt.
"I do not snore!" Cassandra laughter.
"Ha! And I'm the queen of England." Jenkins grabbed her and rolled her over on top of him. Wrapping his arms around her mid body and holding to him.
"I have met the queen of England, and you maim are nothing like her." Cassandra opened her mouth in disbelieve. "You are much more pretty and lovely then she." Jenkins smiled at her and placed a little kiss on the tip of her nose.
Cassandra smiled, she was happy to see this playful side of him, after last night she was afraid it would take a few days for him to get back to himself, he had opened up and shared so much with her that she wasn't sure how he could be this morning. She pushed herself up and pulled her legs to his side and straddled his lap, she was careful not to wiggle too much taking note of the soft bulge she felt under her as much as she wanted things to heat up she didn't want to rush him. Jenkins hands came to rest on her thighs and made lazy patters on them, Cassandra lightly played her hands over his stomach and chest looking at the tattoos and scars. She ran her hand over the half dollar size one under his chest.
"What's that one from?" She asked hoping he would be as open as he was last night. Jenkins watched her for a second as she studied the mark.
"A dagger...four inches north and I wouldn't be here."
Cassandra cocked her eye brow at him, Jenkins knowing what she was thinking.
"It was before I found the grail and became immortal."
Cassandra gave an OK nod and went on exploring him, she took note of the areas that made his breath catch when she touched, and she also noticed that the bulge under her was starting to get hard.
"Rollover"
Cassandra pushed herself up on her knees to give him room to move, He hesitated for a moment, he back was the worst in his thoughts but reluctantly gave in and turned over. Cassandra settled herself down on his backside. She started at the base of his back and pushed her palms into his back and moved them forward, Instantly Jenkins let out a moan from the movements as her hands worked his shoulders and back down.
"Good God woman, for as small as you are you have hands of steel!" A few grunts between the words as she continued to work his back over, Cassandra worked over the rough parts of his back with ease.
"Are these whip marks?" She asked as she focused her rubbing on his shoulders. She could feel him take a deep breath and he tensed up a little. She laid herself onto his back to whisper in his ear.
"You don't have be scared to tell me, but if you're not ready it's OK." She kissed his cheek just next to his ear. Jenkins felt like he was going to explode from emotions, he had never had anyone be this tender with him, so caring, so understanding.
"It was yes, I was caught feeding a prisoner or war. Showing mercy to the enemy in my time was considered a sin to the crown, but what no one knew was had it not been for that guy giving me vital information at the time we would have fallen to the enemy, he himself did not believe in the fight but was bound to it by an oath. I was whipped and beaten for my betrayal, they threw me in a cell for a few days and that was it, I knew what the risks were when I fed the man, I figured it was the least that I could do after he had sacrificed everything for our side."
Cassandra fought hard to stop the tears in her eyes as she listened to him speak, not really sure what to say for the first time in their talks in the last 24 hours, she just continued to rub his back leaning down and placing kisses everywhere her hands touched. After what felt like at hour Jenkins felt her hands start to slow and stop, she slid off him and laid next to him. Jenkins still laying on is stomach with his hands resting under his head he turned his head and looked at her.
"You have no idea how good that felt..." Cassandra reached over and ran her hands through his white hair.
"You can have one anytime you would like." She smiled at him, he pulled his right hand out from under his head and wrapped his hand around her neck and pulled her into him pressing his lips to hers, and nibbling at her bottom lip he slips his tongue into her mouth, their tongues tangle together for a few minutes before he pulls back from her.
The alarm clock went off, Cassandra letting out a huff that she had forgot to turn it off the night before, she rolled over and smacked the top of it shutting it off and turning back to Jenkins.
"I guess that means it's time to start the day..." She spoke running her fingers through her hair. Jenkins moved over her, hovering over her.
"Thank you my lady." He kissed her forehead. Cassandra closed her eyes at the feeling of his lips on her skin.
"For what?"
"For making me feel human again..."
Cassandra smiled at him and watched him as he pushed himself out of the bed and started to gather his cloths from the floor, he sat on the edge of the bed to put his socks on. Cassandra took the chance to wrap her arms around him from behind, running her hands across his chest and kissing his neck. Jenkins felt the pressure in his pants start as his eyes closed from the pleasure. As much as he wanted to the old knight found himself unsure and a little scared at where things could lead, and he wanted things to be perfect if things were going to go in the direction he thought they were.
"Cassie..." He reached behind him and tangled his hand in her long red hair. He didn't have to say anymore and Cassandra was not going to push him.
"Only when you're ready." She whispered.
Cassandra moved around and got out of the bed, heading for the closet to find the days outfit. Jenkins finished with his shoes and put his shirt on, as he buttoned it up he watched her pick out one of her colorful outfits and the slip into the bathroom. A few minutes later Cassandra came out of the bathroom, Jenkins was waiting at the door for her.
"Ready to get this day started?" He asked. Cassandra walked over to him and slipped her arms around him giving him one more hug. Jenkins returned the hug holding her tight and resting his chin on the top of her head.
"Cassie, Would you have dinner with me tonight?" Cassandra pulled back and looked up at him, smiling and placing a kiss on him.
"I would love that." Jenkins kissed her softly back and gave her a soft pat on the butt.
"Good, I'll make the arrangement's, now get going woman before I change my mind and throw you back in the bed." He gave her a wink and opened the door for her.
Jenkins went straight for his lab, Cassandra made her way to the annex she had a pep in her step and seemed to be walking on cloud nine. Eve was reading through a book on Greek gods getting ready for their next mission when Cassandra came skipping down the stairs.
"Good morning eve! how did you sleep? What are you ready? getting ready for something? did I miss the chipping book? Ow! is that a book on Greek gods? what are we going after?" Eve looked up from her book, Cassie was going a mile a minute. She quickly set the book down and watched Cassandra as she rambled on.
"Cassie! What is going on?" Cassandra was still talking, she had done moved on to another subject in her head when Eve's hands came down on her shoulders.
"Cassandra, Slow down!" she slightly shook her and got her to look at her, Cassie smiled at her. Eve looked at her for a moment and studied her face. Cassandra watched Eve looking over her.
"I know that look, Slight bags under your eyes suggesting you didn't sleep much, hair slightly a mess tells me you were in a hurry this morning, your nervous about something, which is why even for you, you fired off all those questions." Cassandra eyes widened as she realized Eve was figuring things out and like a light switch being flipped Eve gasped and smiled.
"You slept with someone last night didn't you!"
"What?..no..I...what are you talking about Eve...I..." Cassandra was babbling as Eve continued her investigation.
"You did, the only time I have seen get you this worked up is in numbers and there is no way anything like that has happened this early in the morning, so that leave only one thing, This isn't you walking in the the annex like normal Cassandra, This is a walk of shame into the annex." Eve was smile and slightly giggling as Cassandra covered her mouth and laughed.
"I didn't sleep with anymore...per-say." Cassandra leaned against Jenkins desk as Eve stood there arms crossed smirking at her.
"Wait, Stone was working out with me last night and i walked him back to his room, Flynn and Jones were out last night that only leaves..." Eve's mouth dropped opened as she looked at Cassandra.
"you didn't? did you? you did! oh my god Cassandra! JENKINS! OK details!" Eve closed the space between them waiting for Cassie to tell her anything.
Cassandra closed her eyes and shook her head with a smile.
"It's not like that Eve, He brought me tea last night, we hadn't been on the best of terms for the last couple weeks, anyways we started talking finally and things just led into things. But I did not sleep with him like your thinking. I wanted to but I could tell he wasn't ready, he opened up to me so much last night Eve."
Eve was smiling as Cassandra spoke, She help up her hands.
"Cassandra you don't have to say anymore, what ever he said to you was between you guys and what ever you did or did not do is between you guys but all i am going to say is...It's about time!"
Right then Jenkins came walking in to the annex, Both girls looked at him and smiled and split like they has just been caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Jenkins smiled and shook his head.
