~Chapter 4: Underneath it all~

Kat was just updating one of her recipe books when she heard the door go behind her. Expecting it to be Alex, she didn't turn but pointed the pen over her shoulder.

"I told you, I'll be up soon. And if you THINK of trying to steal my cookies I'll," she half turned to glare at him, only to be surprised by what she saw, "I'll-Oh…Oh hello Angelo."

Kat full turned to him, taking in his appearance. He seemed alright, other than a large bandage on his neck and deep, black bags underneath his eyes.

"I…take it the night went a little bit rough?" She tried not to smile and appear concerned, her mind wandering at the deliciously dirty thoughts that came in.

Angelo just sighed and looked at her.

"In all seriousness, it was." He carefully pulled away the gauze that was around his neck, allowing Kat to get a proper look.

"Geez…ouch, she bit HARD." Kat walked over to him and looked around it, making sure it wasn't infected or badly broken.

"Yes…and I had to sedate her for doing so." Angelo looked away gloomily, still feeling guilty for doing such a thing.

"Don't look so down," Kat directed him to sit, trying to find some lotion in the drawer next to her, "in her state, it's not a big surprise and you did have every right to. Otherwise, she would have 'had her wicked way with you'."

Angelo blushed and glared at Kat as she snickered and began to lightly dab some cream onto the area of his neck that was worse.

"She WOULD have. And…and I know what you're thinking. But even If I HAD let her, when she returns to normal, what if she remembers? What if I lost control and done such a thing to her? I'd never be able to trust myself with her again and I wouldn't blame her is she hated me."

Kat sighed and pulled away, looking at him exasperated.

"You TWO are so…such…Urk!" She threw up her hands in frustrations and just gave him a motherly look, "sticks in the mud. And so clueless! The day before she became all 'rabid', she came in here, worried that you would hate Iher/I if she suddenly had her wicked way with Iyou/I. You are both," she punctuated each word by poking Angelo in the middle of his forehead, "so. Incredibly. FRUSTRATING."

Angelo pouted and rubbed the spot she had poked.

"And don't pout, I had to get it into you're head somehow." She turned from him and placed everything neatly back in her draw.

Angelo made a facer like a sad puppy (which never worked with Kat).

"But-but...I don't know what to do. I love her and she's so precious. I could never, never hurt her or-or use her in such a way-" Kat turned to him and started to interrupt him with a little bit of anger, managing to control herself,."BUT she may want you to," she took a breath and began more gently, "Angelo...she loves you. As you love her. I think...I think somehow, she was suppressing what she really wanted to do with you and whenever Yumie manages to do it, she scolds herself and retreats further more into her own subconscious. The bite? That was Yumie AND Yumiko' way of showing exactly how she feels towards you. She doesn't want anyone else to have her and she doesn't want anyone to have you. Understand?" Kat opened her hands up to him and hoped he was getting it and she wouldn't have to dumb it down anymore."I...I think so...yes, I do." Angelo nodded and blushed some more."She's not asking for you to go all...possessive on her. She's had enough of that with Alucard," Kat growled the 'things' name, "She doesn't want you to hurt her like he does. But there's even a difference between the beast inside of you and that unholy creature. You have that limit. YOU know what she likes and what she doesn't like. What will hurt her and what will make her cry out in pleasure."

Kat slowly paced back and forth and actually began to think clearly about everything she was saying to him.

"You need to walk into your lab, kick off your shoes and coat and as soon as you see her, grab hold of her. You need to hold her a little roughly, just to show her that you will never leave her or let her go. Then…," she took a deep breath as she felt her own temperature begin to rise, "then kiss her and take her then and there on the floor. No stopping to apologise. No awkward moments where you think you should spend every second praising her body like she was a precious jewel. She was built for combat and hardships and knows the feeling of a tender hand on her skin. Now you show her what she always fantasised. And by the time you take her, you don't slow it down, you continue. You just-just-" She finally turned to Angelo after realising he was very quiet.

Angelo was looking at her with a wide-eyed expression, slowly becoming conscious she was getting off on it. "W-well...yes," Kat cleared her throat and looked away from him, "…I'm going to find Alex."

She said nothing else as she walked off, a little skip in her step.

Angelo was left with a very red face and A LOT to think about.
