Protector pt III
Once the two of them were inside, Ironhide sat Kory down on the couch and looked her over. Looking down at her through his rain soaker hair he saw that her face was pale and her deep blue eyes had lost their shine. Resting a hand on her cheek he felt just how hot she was.
The weapons specialist opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Kory suddenly pushing herself to her feet and running down the hallway. Before he could even stand up, he heard a horrible noise that made him cringe. Shortly after there was the sound of running water and Kory emerged from the bathroom, looking paler then she had before.
"I think you should go," she said as she ran a hand though her sort hair and made her way to the couch in the living room. Ignoring the urge to do as she said, he sat down beside her on the couch and rested his cooler hand on her hot forehead. Without knowing it, Kory leaned into his touch and let him rest her head in his lap. Ironhide didn't need to do a scan to see that the young female was tired. As she rested her head in his lap he couldn't help but play with her hair. It was so soft.
As Ironhide ran his large hands through Kory's light brown hair, said girl was at war with herself. She couldn't help but feel a very strong attraction to Ironhide, even though they had just met four days ago, and it scared her. Sure she had been attracted to guys in the past, but all of them were way out of her league and didn't even know that she existed. All guys at girls at school ignored her, and when they weren't they were picking on her.
This brought Kory to her current thoughts. Why was Ironhide acting like this towards her? In the 18 years she'd been alive, she had never know a guy to be so gentle with her, except for Sam. This caused part of her to think that Ironhide was going to take advantage of her, but the other part of her mind quickly pushed that aside. There was something about Sam's friend that radiated trust. Trust, Kory thought to herself. That was something that she hadn't felt in a long time. The teen didn't even trust her own mother, then again she was never home to earn it. Business kept them apart for months at a time. It took all of 2 years for Sam to earn Kory's trust and Ironhide had done it in less then a week. This thought made her grin inwardly. Sam's gonna be so jealous, with that last thought she fell into darkness.
