Fighting For Control
Chapter Ten: Letting The Inner Animal Take Control
Cato returned from his talk with Brutus after a half hour. "Come on Peeta, time to go to bed."
"In a minute or two, Clove and I are watching this program about the latest trends in the Capitol and they are so weird." I say not even looking away from the television.
"Now Peeta." Cato said with more authority in his voice.
"Baby just come and sit down for a bit." I say patting the spot next me. Cato sighed before he scooped me up and flinging me over his shoulder. "Hey put me down." I basically yelled.
Clove on the other hand started to laugh uncontrollably. "Have fun Peeta." She cackled out.
"Why?" I whined as he carrier me into the bedroom.
"You owe me a night of what ever the hell I want." Cato said overjoyed.
"Shit really?" I rolled my eyes as Cato locked the door and threw me on the bed.
"Exactly, tonight I have a free pass to your body, meaning I can do what ever I want." He grinned cockily as he leaned down over me.
I rolled my eyes again and let out a deep breath before smiling and kissing his check. "Fine do as you please."
"Oh I will, firstly though strip." Cato smirked standing back up.
"What?" I ask, purposely being difficult.
"I said strip cutie, do what I say or I'll have to punish you." Cato said, his voice all of a sudden husky and low.
I sat up and did as I was told, pulling off my top before I kicked off my boots. I stood and pulled of my sock and as I undid my pants I notice Cato had not started to take his own clothing off.
"Don't mind me, keep going." Cato said crossing his arms over his chest as he watched me pull down my pants and underwear before stepping out of them.
"What now?" I asked, slightly uncomfortable just standing naked infront of Cato.
"Get on your hands and knees on the bed." He ordered.
I sighed but complied crawling up on to the bed on my hands and knees. I heard Cato start to take his clothes off but he never got on to the bed. "Are you." I go to ask but he talks over me.
"Play with you hole."
"What?" I ask in disbelief, was he being serious right now. I went to turn around to look at him but as I turned Cato lightly spanked me causing me to yelp in surprise.
"I told you to listen to me or I'd punish you. Next time won't be so soft." His voice was full of lust and excitement.
I nodded, weirdly turned on by was was going on. I reached around and started to circle my entrance with a finger. I slowly started to push it inside, realising Cato wanted a show I spread my knees further apart and starts to move as sensually as I could.
Soon enough I had slipped a second finger in and as I pumped away, moaning for more of an effect on Cato I felt his hands on the globes of my ass. He spread them as he watched me continue to work my hole.
"Take your fingers out." Cato ordered next.
I slipped them out, leaning on both elbows now as I felt Cato's tongue slide up the side of my left cheek until his tongue was swirling around my entrance.
"Cato." I moaned at the toe curling sensation he was unleashing on to me.
I felt Cato smirk against my ass. "That's right Peeta, give into it."
I grasped at the sheets beneath me as he continued to eat me out. I don't know how long he was back there but it felt like hours, I was starting to sweat as my body overheated.
He finally started to move on, kissing up my back as a finger took his tongues place. His finger dove into me, shifting around before he pulled it out and proceed to push two in. He scissored his fingers and in no time pushed in a third.
As he curled his fingers he found that spot, causing my body to tense up as I let a loud moan be released into the mattress beneath me.
"That's right Peeta, you're all mine and if I get my way you'll be experiences this pleasure everyday for the rest of your life." Cato said into my ear only turning me on more.
I wanted nothing more, I wanted it all, all of him, I couldn't wait any longer. "Cato please, I need you in me now." I cry out as he brushed over that spot again.
Cato pulled out and lined himself up, he pushed in quickly making me hiss in pain but I found myself wanting it like this, rough and hard. I wanted him to manhandle me, mark me, screw me, do anything he wanted to me.
He pulled out until just the head of his manhood was still inside me then plunged back in. The force buckling my knees and we can crashing down onto the bed. The fall didn't stop Cato though, he pulled out and thrusted back in, his tempo building fast.
All I could do was lay there and take it, my legs we parted, back arched as I braced myself against the bed, taking each thrust and bringing myself up to meet his movement. I bit into the pillow near me and my throat started to hurt from the multitude of moans coming from it.
Cato was drilling me with suck force I thought my pelvis was going to snap but I loved every second of it. Both our bodies were soon covered in sweat and I felt myself getting close to my climax and an increasingly fast past and he slammed against my prostate over and over.
"Cato, I'm so, I'm gonna." I bellow out not sure I could last another second.
"Then cum for me cutie." Cato growled which did it for me.
With a cry a felt my orgasm fill me and spill out as I came against the bed beneath me. I body went ridged and moments later Cato thrusted hard one last time before he moaned and I felt him release inside of me.
My body went limp, and my breathing slowed as Cato pulled out. I was officially spent, to tired and blissed out to move out of my own mess.
Cato scooped me up and talked towards the bathroom. He sat me on the edge of the bath as he turned the taps on and poured differing gels and soaps into it. Once the bath was full he helped me into it before he got in behind me. I leaned back against his chest and smiled to myself.
"You really know how to wear me out." I say, my voice hoarse.
"Well I told you I have a free pass to the body of yours." He kissed my neck. "What else did you expect me to do?"
I laugh at his question. "I'm so ready for bed now though."
"Well let's get you washed and then I'll carry you back to bed." Cato said pouring some soap onto his hand and washing me.
Once we were both washed Cato stood up and dried himself before pulling the plug and passing me a towel. I dried myself and as soon as I was down Cato picked me up bridal style and carried me back to bed.
He laid me down and that's when I noticed the bed sheets had been changed. I felt my face heat up at the knowledge of one of the avox's having to clean the bed while we were in the bath. Cato slipped in beside me and pulled me into his arms. It didn't take love for me to start to fall asleep though.
"I love you cutie." I heard Cato say.
I nod as my eyes started to get heavy. "You to."
I woke the next morning, surprisingly early. I looked over to the clock on the bedside table and knew there was still a half hour before Effie would be waltzing in to get us up for breakfast. Like the past few mornings I woke on my side, Cato behind me. His muscular arm draped over my side.
Today was the individual evaluations, I had to stay focused and impress the game makers today. I knew a high score would cement my place in being teamed together with Cato and Clove. It worried me honestly, not knowing if we would be put on the same team. I knew we had done what we could to stand out together but the game makers could separate us just to add more drama in the arena. The thought frightened me, if they actually did that I wasn't sure as to what we would do. Would Cato give up? Would he try to save me somehow? If it came down to the two of us would either of us be able to kill the other?
I closed my eyes and concentrated on pushing my worries and doubts aside. I had to stay focused, I had to make it impossible for them not to group us together. I let out a deep sigh before Cato's hands pulled me closer to him.
"What's wrong?" He asked, voice scratchy from sleep.
"Nothing, I'm just trying to prepare myself mentally for today." I reply, at least it was a half truth.
"You're going to be great, don't worry I'm going to make sure we are put together." Cato whispered into my ear, his lips grazing against my ear softly.
"And how are you going to do that?" I ask as I turned onto my back so I could see him.
Cato propped himself up on an elbow so he was looking down at me. "It's a secret. Anyway why are you awake right now? We have an extra fifteen minutes before Effie comes barging in."
"I don't know, I think I'm just eager for this day to be over." I tell him as I intertwined me fingers with his.
"That's exactly my I'm thinking, the quicker the next two days fly by, the quicker we are in the games, the quicker we can survive them and get out, and then start a proper life together." Cato smiled as he laid back down looking up at the ceiling.
"Do you really think they'll let us do that?" I ask shuffling over and resting my head on his chest.
"I'll make them, we'll move somewhere together or you can come to District Two. I'm sure Brutus would be able to get you a permanent pass to live there. I mean you have been staying with us since the first night." Cato shrugged as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
I thought I about it, would I be willing to move away from District Twelve? Leave my friends and family, and move to District Two. I have already cut ties with my District while I was here, I mean I was still the District Twelve male tribute but I was currently basically a District Two Tribute. I could decide later, if I actually make it out of the arena then we could work out where we would go.
"You would want to stay with me though right?" Cato asked, maybe he took my silence as me not wanting to be with him after the games. His voice was suddenly filled with worry and doubt.
"Of course I do, it's just more complicated. I mean I have a life back home, friends and family. But that said I do want us to be together." I ask reassuringly, leaning up and kissing his cheek. "You are my family now as well."
Cato's worry disappeared and a large grin replaced it. "And so are you. So I guess we should get up, I'm sure if we don't Effie will be in here any minute."
"Agreed." I gave his lips a quick peck and rolled to the edge of the bed.
We both jumped in the shower and washed quickly, I could feel my nerves starting to rise but I tried ignoring them. Once we were both done we got out and dried ourselves before returning to the bedroom and getting dressed.
Just as I had done my boots up I heard a knock and Effie walked in, yesterday's lavender colour now replaced with a firey orange. "Oh you are actual up on time, well I never."
I smiled at her, her face showing that she was unsure of what to do. "Good morning Effie."
"Oh, where are my manners, good morning boys. I'll see you at the dining table for breakfast then." She smiled before turning around and walking out.
We walked out to breakfast hand in hand, both Enobaria and Brutus and Portia and Effie present. "Morning." I smiled as we sat down.
"How are you three feeling?" Enobaria asked as Clove walked in.
"Ready." Clove answered quickly.
"Exactly." Cato nodded as he started to fill his plate.
"Nervous." I replied honestly looking over to my mentor.
"Peeta I know you'll do fine. Having some nerves is perfectly alright, means you are still here, fighting for a chance to make it out." Enobaria smiled. "All I want you to do is run the gauntlet, show your skills with the throwing knives and sias and then some hand to hand combat."
"What about survival stations?" I asked as I took to memory what she said.
"The gamemakers will be looking to see what makes you stand out. While the survival skills are good to know, they ultimately want a show during your evaluation. You need to catch their eye with your skills, impress them, show them you are a force to be reckoned with." She said, with a spark in her eyes.
"Alright. So gauntlet, sais, knives and hand to hand." I nodded repeating it over in my mind. "I can do that."
"You'll be great." Cato whispered to me with a smile.
The rest of breakfast was spent talking about we thought the other tributes would score and what to expect from them. At that point, as much as I felt I was kind of betraying her I told them that she was a hunter back in Twelve with amazing bow skills. To which Enobaria and Brutus thanked me for choosing to tell them, they understood it was hard for me to reveal Katniss's strengths. Once we were finished Enobaria pulled me aside to make sure I knew what I needed to do.
"Just let it all go and do what ever comes naturally to you. Trust that you'll do well Peeta. Don't doubt for a second that you feline instincts will help you, embrace them." She said before sending me off to the elevator with the others.
When we arrived in the waiting room I notice not many tributes had already arrived. A trainer greeted us, taking down what we wanted for our own evaluations before showed us to our the District Two waiting area, before showing me the District Twelve one. I asked if it was fine to wait with Cato until he was called and she nodded before telling to just come back to my section when he left. With that I walked back over to Clove and Cato. Clove was seated, her face emotionless, as if she was meditating or something. While Cato stood, arms crossed as he stared Marvel down, who was doing the exact thing to Cato.
I rolled my eyes and stood between the pair as I noticed the majority of the tributes were now filing in. "Cato stop it, there's not point playing his game."
Cato sighed but eventually looked down to me. "I know, he just makes it so easy to want to snap his damn neck." He almost yelled, scaring some of the tributes close to us.
I rolled my eyes at his theatrics, I guess he still wanted to intimated the other tributes. "Come on." I say as I pushed him into his chair. "Why focus on him when you have me in your lap?" I asked as I stepped either side of his legs before sitting on his thighs.
"You have a point." Cato smiled back before leaning forward and kissing me as he wrapped his arms around the back of my waist.
"Just don't get him to excited Peeta, last think we need is the game makers getting distracted by the tent in his pants." Clove joked turning her attention to us.
"I'm not going to make any promises I can't keep." I smirk back as Cato kissed down my neck.
Glimmer, District One.
A voice rang out from the speaker above us. I turned and watched Glimmer stood and headed towards the doors. They opened and moments later she disappeared behind them.
I let out a deep breath, realising I was holding it. I knew soon my name would be called and I had to stay focused. We were all going to be judges on a scale from one to twelve and if I got anything above a seven I would be happy. Getting a twelve was impossible, if I had to guess an eleven was probably the same so I knew a seven would be obtainable.
Time seemed to move slow, Marvel was called next then Clove. Cato and I wished her luck, she nodded in reply, determination expressed on her face. When Cato was called we stood up, he quickly pulled me into a passionate kiss before letting me go.
"Do you best, and don't be worried you'll do amazing." He whispered to me before turning and walking up to the doors. Once the doors closed I walled back to the District Twelve area and sat next to Katniss. She didn't move a muscle, ignoring me completely.
Slowly one by one I watched each tributes name get called before they walked through the door to the evaluation room. Waiting was horrible, it dragged and all I could do was think about how Cato and Clove did and how well I was going to do. I couldn't screw this up, I needed everything to go perfectly.
When Katniss's name was called she stood glancing at me before she held her head high and walked towards the door. "Good luck." I muttered under my breath as the door closed. Part of me still wanted her to do well but the rest of me knew she would do well, and she would come for me when she had the chance in the arena.
Peeta Mellark, District Twelve.
I took a deep breath and stood up, I could do this, just focus on what Enobaria had told me. I headed into the training area, head held high as I walked up to the where the game makers sat, they a couple meters above me on a platform. I couldn't put my finger on it but they all seemed a bit on edge. I brushed it off and stood in front of them.
"Peeta Mellark, District Twelve." I spoke with confidence.
Seneca Crane brushed his fingers through his beard, a look of curiosity in his eyes. "You are one of the tributes that was genetically altered as an infant?"
"Yes." I replied.
"And you are the tribute who denounced this own District to share a bed with the District Two male." He asked though it sounded more like an observation.
"Again yes." I nodded, wondering what this had to do with my evaluation.
"Very well, please begin." He said his hand gesturing towards the trainers to the side of me.
I nodded and turned towards the training floor. I had it set up so I would first run gauntlet. I took my starting position when the trainer blew his whistle I bolted towards the gauntlet, I raced up it using my heightened abilities to dodge the first trainers paddle before I jumped into a twist over the second trainers attempt to hit me. I rounded the corner and leaped over and under them again.
I then jumped over the table snatching up my sais and headed towards the moving dummies. I slide under the first, cutting through its stomach and stood swiping and cutting three more as the moved around me. Two more appeared in front of where I stood, and moved towards me rapidly. I readied myself and just before they got to me I did a somersault, cutting the throats of both simultaneously. Before turning around and throwing one of my sais at the last remaining dummy that stood a few meters away.
Lastly I walked over to the knives stations, picking up three and took a breath, awaiting for the first target to light up. As soon as it did, with a flick of my wrist I sent a knife towards it. Two lit up next and the throw them in quick concession. The adrenaline pumping through me allowed me to act on instinct and when a forth and fifth lit up and I had no knives I used me tail to grab one as my hand grabbed another two. I sent them both towards there intended targets as my tail released the knife in its clasp. I quickly caught it as I spun around and threw it at the last target. I looked at all six and saw each knife was close to the bullseye, still not perfect though.
The last thing I did was walk over to the hand to hand combat station. As requested two trainers were present, and at the whistle they charged for me. I spun to the side evading the first before dodging the second and brought my foot up to hit him in the head. I didn't understand how I was doing this but my body just moved on its own, skipping over the first trainers low kick before cart-wheeling over the seconds failed lung.
I hit the first with a closed fist before using the momentum I had to spin into a jumping kick, taking the second out and knocking him down to the floor. The first trainer then lunged forward, taking me down with him but I rolled into the fall, pulling him on to his back before I leaped up to my feet and stood on his windpipe.
I looked up at Crane who nodded, I was glad to see the game makers were still paying attention to what I had been doing.
"That's enough." Seneca said.
I bowed and headed towards the exit door. My heart was pounding, I was left stupefied at my own actions. Had I really moved that fast, that precise? I smiled to myself as I pressed the elevator button and waited for the doors to open. Enobaria was right, letting the feline part of me take over had successfully taken my efforts to the next level.
Within a second the doors opened and I hit the button for the District Two's floor. I waited as the doors closed and the elevator started to move. I hope Cato did will, and I hope I actually did as well as I feel I did. Unexpectedly the doors open before I reached my desired floor, Marvel standing there.
"So Peeta I thought it time we have an actual conversation, one on one." Marvel smirked, putting his hand in front of the doors so they wouldn't close.
"What's so important you have to ruin my afternoon?" I ask back bitterly.
"I know you three knew about the pairing. And I know exactly what I'm going to do to make sure you won't make it out of the arena." Marvel threatened.
"That's great do whatever." I roll my eyes at him. "Just go."
"Peeta you have no idea what I'm capable of and." He begun to growl before I cut him off with a kick to the stomach causing him to take a few steps back.
As the doors closed I smiled at him. "And you don't know what I am capable of either dickhead."
I brushed off my run in with Marvel as the elevator doors opened again. Cato standing right in front of them, waiting for me to arrive. He was already showered and changed into casual clothes. I jumped into his arms with a smile. "How did your session go?" I asked kissing his cheek.
"Well I think, I don't know what they thought of me though. Some of them looked kind of bored." He said, worry evident in his voice.
"I'm sure you amazed them with you skills with a sword." I smile taking his hand and walking back to our room. "How long do we have until the scores are revealed?"
"They'll be shown after dinner so take a quick shower and then we'll go eat." Cato said sitting down on the bed.
I walked over to the bathroom and peeled off my clothes before jumping in and quickly washing myself. As I bent over to wash my legs I heard a groan behind me. I looked between my legs to see Cato standing at the door, staring away at my ass.
"You alright there?" I ask quirking and eyebrow.
"Definitely." Cato smirked before licking his lips.
I shock my head and continued to wash myself quickly and once done turned off the water and opened the glass door. Cato handed me a towel and I dried myself before ducking past Cato and pulled open a draw.
"Hey I deserve a kiss for that." Cato whines turning around to see me pull on my underwear.
"What ever mister." I replied as I slipped on a pair of soft pants and a top. I patted my hair down and slipped on some boots, Cato running a hand up my tail.
"Ready?" He smirked as I swatted his hand away.
"Yes." I nod before walking over to the door.
We sat down at the dining table, the last to arrive. Clove was telling Brutus about her time in front of the game makers and once she was done Enobaria turned to me.
"How did it go?" She asked with a smile.
"I think better then I expected but I mean I have no clue if it was enough." I replied once I had swallowed the food in my mouth.
"I know it was." She said, a knowing grin appearing on her face.
I gave her a questioning look and she nodded before turning back to her food. She knew something, I guess I would just have to wait until my score was revealed.
Once we were all finished we moved into the lounge to await the score reveal. Not long after we had all seated the Capitol's symbol appeared on the screen and a moment later Caesar Flickerman's blinding white smile came into view.
"Good evening citizens of Panem, I'm here to reveal the ever exciting training score each tribute was awarded after their private evaluations that were held today. So let's get right it to, I know you have all been waiting for this moment all day."
He laughed his over the top laugh before Glimmer's face appeared on screen.
"And of course we start with District One, Glimmer with a score of seven'
'So she did have some skills it seemed' I thought as Marvel's face appeared.
"Marvel with a score of nine."
I sighed, so he was did as well, I just hoped I could at least match that.
"On to District Two, Clove with a score of eleven."
I gasped in surprise, Clove's face lighting up at the news. She was practically jumping in her seat.
"Cato with a score of eleven. My my, District Two are some fierce competition this year."
I gave Cato a quick peck on the cheek at the news as Caesar went on down the list, no other tributes getting higher then a seven. I was surprised when Foxface only got a five but I knew she was sly and probably wanted us to pass her off as nothing so she could gain the upper hand and surprise us in the arena.
"District Eleven, Rue with a score of seven. And Thresh with a score of ten."
My eyes widened at both scores, I didn't expect either of them to do as well as they did.
"And Finally District Twelve, Katniss Everdeen with a, oh my, an eleven." Caesar said with excitement.
The news caused a stir between Clove and Cato but I knew she would do well. My stomach churned as my face came up on the screen, I quickly grabbed Cato's hand squeezing it as Caesar continued.
"And Finally Peeta Mellark with a score of ten."
My heart skipped as a sat there in shock, I was prepared to get a seven, or an eight if I was lucky. Cato swooped me up into his arms, I was to in shock to register what was going on around me. Finally my senses returned and I was present again.
"Peeta you did so well." Cato beamed.
"And so did you." I smile back, returning the hug he had pulled me into.
"The three of you did us proud, that said I need you to head of to bed, tomorrow we need to prepare you for your interviews, so I'll be getting you up early." Brutus said, he looked like a proud father at the moment and I couldn't help but feel like we were this odd family.
"Sure I'll take Peeta to bed, can't promise we'll be sleeping though." Cato joked as he picked me up and threw me over his shoulders before walking towards our bedroom.
"Goodnight." I smiled back as Clove followed heading to the door opposite ours.
