CH.3 Heat of the Moment

It was 11 :40 p.m. when Cain got out of her car and walked towards the black Impala parked next to her. Sam got out of the driver's seat and the two of them made their way around the car to help Dean out on the other side. She had taken them to her motel and was starting to get seriously worried about Dean. He seemed to have trouble breathing and could hardly walk.

''My room's right over there. You can stay as long as you want.''

The three of them made their way to the room very slowly. Dean felt absolutly awful at the moment. Everytime he tried to walk or breathe he could feel a sharp pain in his right side. Even if he was in pain, he was determined to try and hide it. It did have advantages. He had an amazingly good looking girl holding him. At this thought, Dean laughed a little and the sharp pain came back twice as bad.

Note to self: Do not laugh with a boken rib.

Sam had to support Dean's weight alone for a couple of seconds because Cain had to look for the key and unlock the door. She stepped in and opened the light before coming back to Dean's side and helping him in. The room was small and had two beds. Sam and Cain slowly put Dean down on the bed that was closer to the door. Cain got on the bed next to him and tried to pull up his shirt a little.

''What the hell are you doing!! That freaking hurts!'' Dean had closed his eyes because of the pain and passed one hand over his face.

''I have to take a look to see if it's really broken.''

She pulled Dean's shirt halfway up and winced at the sight of the big black and blue bruise on his side. Dean saw the look on her face. '' That bad uh?'' he said while trying not to squirm around because of the pain.

''Sam, could you go at the front office, I think there's an ice dispenser. I'll need more towels too.'' Lucky for them, Cain knew how to take care of injuries. This wasn't has bad as she thought. The rib was probably not broken but the bruise was bad and by the look of it, it must've hurt like hell.

Sam took a last look at the bruise before turning around and going out of the room. He made his way to the the front office and knocked on the door. It was probably locked because it was quite late at night.

''Hey. I need some ice and towels.'' The man inside unlocked the door and let him in.

''The dispenser is right there. I'll come back in a couple of minutes with your towels.'' The man opened a door on his left and disappeared through it.

At the same time back in the room

Sam had just stepped out of the room and Cain and Dean were left looking at eachother.

''So, you think I'll survive?'' he asked with a worried look on his face.

Cain cocked her head to the side.'' I think you'll do just fine. Don't worry.''

'' 'Cause if this was my last night... I know what I'd like to do...'' Dean looked at Cain and winked.

''Yeah... keep dreaming boy!'' She laughed at his pathetic attempt.

Dean was a little put off by her reply. ''Yeah well, what are you doing here anyway. I mean, who are you really?''

''Told you. I'm Cain. Cain Cooper. And apparently I had the same idea as you guys when I came here. What else is there to say?''

''Dunno. Just askin'. It's not everyday that you see a woman hunting alone. Anyway, name's Winchester. Just thought we'd have... official introductions.'' The conversation seemed to have taken his mind off the pain and he seemed to be doing a little better so Cain decided to keep talking.

'' So, you and your brother have been hunting for a long time?'' Dean had put his head downon the pillow again and was looking at the ceiling. She looked at the bruise again which seemed to have become darker than before and then looked down.

Wo! Ok! Obviously, his hunting job agrees with him. Look at that body!

She stared for a while aware that he wasn't looking in her direction.

''We've been hunting for a while now. You don't really see the time go by with this job.'' He kept staring at the ceiling and Cain was still looking at his body.'' So, like what you see?'' he said without even looking at her.

Shit! She felt her face go red .''What? What are you talking about?''

Dean smirked and lift his head up a little to look at her. ''Yeah... right. Red really agrees with you.'' He put on a serious face again.'' You know I understand. Hunting's a lonely job. Not a lot of time to meet people and have a little fun if you know what I mean.''

Cain couldn't believe how cocky the guy was. God! He was so full of himself. But with looks like that, those lines probably worked on most of the girls he met. So she decided that this game could be played by two persons.

''You're right. It gets pretty lonely most of the time. Sometimes, I'd give anything just for a little company.'' She let her hair out from the pony tail and slid a little closer to him on the bed. ''I wish I had someone that could help me with that.'' Cain was sitting right next to him and had brought her face a little closer to his. She was litterally laughing inside.

She could see Dean's expression and stopped laughing from the inside for a second. There was something in his eyes that told her that he wasn't joking around. Something like lust. They stared at eachother for a couple of seconds and Cain was starting to forget what game they were playing exactly. Dean could hardly move without being in terrible pain but managed to bring his head up a little higher. Something in Cain's head was screaming for her to get away but her body wasn't listening and she was stuck in this position.

She couldn't tear her eyes from his. Then they heard a key turn in the lock. Cain jumped of the bed and ran to the door to open it. Sam came in with his hands full with towels and a bucket of ice.

''Sam. Always with the good timing!'' Dean 's head was down on the pillow again and he was staring at his brother.

''What?'' Sam said as he put the towels down on the night table next to Dean.

''Forget it. I'm in pain here. Bring me some ice.''

Cain locked the door again and grabbed a towel on the night table. As far as she was concerned, a little pain never hurt to calm someone down. She took a bit of ice, wrapped it in the towel and without a warning, she pressed it lightly on the bruise.

''OW! You... I... What the hell is wrong with you?''

''Keep it there for 20 minutes, then take it off for 20 and put it back on... you can guess the rest. It's gonna bring the swelling down and you should feel fine in the morning.'' She continued pressing lightly on the bruise and then took Dean's hand and placed it on the towel so he could hold the ice in place. She then walked around the bed to where Sam was: '' You guys can stay here for the night. I'm gonna go take a shower.''

Sam looked at her as she made her way to the small bathroom . He grinned. He knew that look. The look that that most woman had when they spent a couple of minutes alone with Dean. The guy was good, he had to admit it. He was away from the room for about 5 minutes and he had already had an effect on her. Cain turned around and faced him as she closed the bathroom door and Sam could see the color on her cheeks. She was definitly not immune to his charms.

Cain closed the door and sat on the side of the bath tub. She could see herself in the mirror right in front of her.

This can't be happening. I know I've been alone for a long time now but this can't be happening. Besides, he doesn't look like the ''long term relationship'' type of guy.

Cain passed a hand through her hair as she got up. She threw her dirty clothes on the floor and got in the shower.

Back in the room

As the bathroom door closed, Dean let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding. '' Dude, that girl, I'm telling you she's crazy. Did you see that... with the ice.''

'' Right I'm sure all of it is because of the ice. Dean... what did you do?''

''Do? I didn't do anything. Why would you assume...'' Then he saw the smile on Sam's face. ''Ok... maybe I did something but I'm pretty insulted that the first thing you thought about was that.''

Sam sat on the second bed and looked at Dean. ''Come on. You know you can't help it. Just go easy on her. She seems like a really good girl.''

'' Oh really... how would you know? Been checking her out weren't you Sammy?'' Dean was grinning and wriggling his eyebrows.

''No. I mean... you know what I mean.'' Truth be told, yes he had been ''checking her out''. No one could blame him, certainly not with a girl like that.

Cain came out of the bathroom half an hout later. The lights were out but Sam was still up watching TV. An old horror movie was on and she could hear the fake screaming. She looked in the direction she knew Dean was and realised that he was asleep. She could see his slow breathing and his eyes were closed.

''Don't worry, you won't wake him.'' Said Sam.'' He was pretty tired. I don't think he'd wake up if you knocked him on the head with a baseball bat.'' Cain made her way to the bed.'' My turn to take a shower.'' Sam got up and went in the bathroom.

Cain pulled off the covers from the bed and got under. She was pretty tired too. She tried to fall asleep but all she could hear was Dean's slow breathing. Cain wasn't used to have people in the same room as her at night and she needed time to get used to the sounds. Sam came out of the bathroom 15 minutes later and got next to the bed where Dean was sleeping.

''God man. Push over.'' Sam tried to push Dean over a little bit but all he could manage was to make him snore a little.

''There's space here if you want.'' Cain couldn't leave him standing there. I mean they were all adults. They could manage to sleep in the same bed right?

Sam turned around.'' You sure you don't mind?''

''No, come in.'' She pulled on the covers to make space for him. Sam got in the bed and as soon as he pulled the covers over him Cain could feel the heat coming from his body. She hadn't felt that in a long time and couldn't help but to get a little closer to him. They weren't touching but Cain felt a lot better. ''Goodnight Sam.'' She said.

''Goodnight Cain.''

A little later that night

Cain opened her eyes and looked at the clock beside the bed. 3:45 a.m. She got up and was very careful not to wake both boys. She walked to the bathroom and closed the door. Cain didn't know why but she wasn't able to sleep. There was a glass on the sink so she took it and drank a bit of water. She always felt like that after a hunt. She always had questions. Why did I kill that thing? What if I was wrong and it was only trying to send a message? What was that thing before it became bad? Hunting was a tough job but the case she had just done was even more special. She was really lucky to have found Sam and Dean. Who knows what would have happened if they hadn't showed up. Cain put the glass down again and made her way back to the bed. She could still hear Dean and Sam's slow breathing as she got back into bed. As she pulled the covers back on, she felt Sam move around in the bed and suddenly felt him very close to her. She had her back to him and he put his arm over her waist and rested his body against her back. Cain stopped moving for a second and slowly turned her head in his direction. Sam was still sleeping. She turned back and closed her eyes. His head was now cradled against her neck and she felt his warm breath against her. Cain felt goosebumbs go through her entire body. That was actually really comfortable. She loved feeling a warm body next to her. Cain closed her eyes and fell asleep a couple of minutes later.

HAHA! I bet you didn't think that would happen. I guess Cain is getting a bit tangled in her feelings! Hope you liked it and DON'T WORRY. There is more to come! R&R
