Chapter 10

Peeta-

Katniss: Thank you for dinner last night and breakfast this morning.

Katniss: Although...it would have been nice to see you this morning.

I seriously have got to figure out how to see this girl more often.

Me: Good morning sunshine! I hated to leave, you looked so beautiful.

Me: When can I see you again?

I absolutely hated dragging myself out of her arms during the night. She looked gorgeous, she was so warm and cuddled into my side. That is where I want to wake up every morning, for the rest of my life. While, I love any time that I get to spend with her, I just want more of a guaranteed schedule with her and Lily. I just don't want to rush into anything and I would never want to scare or intrude.

What the hell, I'll give it a shot.

Me: We always have movie night on Wednesdays? We would love it if you both came.

Katniss: That sounds really fun. Let us know what time and what to bring.

I know what she can bring, all her stuff and move in with us. But, knowing her, that will take forever. Baby steps. We'll get there.

Wednesday completely drags to get here. I'm closing up tonight and I have someone coming in early tomorrow to open up- just in case I can convince my girls to stay the night tonight. Miche and I are pretty clean, especially since we spend most nights eating with Finn and Annie, but I spend my lunch break cleaning up the apartment and getting everything ready for this evening. Thankfully Finn is going to pick up Miche at school, which gives me time to finish up my prep work so I can close up a little earlier.

"Hey bro, getting ready for tonight? I know it's been like a million years since you got laid…so you should probably jack off before she gets here. Maybe twice." Finn nonchalantly mentions as he looks around for something to eat. Miche brings him a cookie from the front, they high-five and Finn pulls him up onto his shoulders. "Do you even have any condoms that aren't expired?" I throw my arms in the air dramatically and signal him with my eyes to Miche. Thankfully he is blissfully unaware and happily eating his cookie.

"Miche-y, can you take your bag upstairs so I can talk to your dad for a sec? Love you, bud." Miche wiggles his fingers with Finn, doing their special handshake and he skips up the stairs.

"Don't make a mess!" I yell up the stairs to him while Finn flops down at the huge table that I do my cutting on. "Can you please not say condoms and jacking off around the kid? I didn't think I'd have to worry about him hanging out with you until he was at least a pre-teen."

He only shrugs it off, "He's heard way worse from Annie. So, are you going to bang her tonight or what? You know I want to hear all about it." He's picking at a pastry, "I mean, you already finger-fucked her at her house…plus, I saw her at the store this week and she's smokin' hot…. even Ann said so, and you know how picky she is." Clearly, I need to stop over sharing with Finn.

"Seriously Finn, I will only go as fast as she wants…I mean, her husband did just die and I've only loved her for like, my whole life. But yeah, she is totally hot. And stop saying shit like 'finger-fucking'…no one says that shit."

"Whatever dude, just let me know what happens. Annie's cooking tomorrow, so come over for dinner and give us all the details. I have to live vicariously through you, since all I have is married sex now."

"Bullshit! You know that I can hear you and her fucking when I'm there and you – and her too for a matter of fact – tell me WAY too much about what you do in bed, so I know you aren't just having plain 'ole married sex."

"She tells you about it?!" His eyes bulging out, "God, she's so hot." He's so ridiculous, I'd swear he thinks about sex more than a teenage boy and so does she, they are perfect together. "Well, I better go. Text me if anything good happens…we'll see you tomorrow. Invite her to dinner sometime…and if she's up for a foursome- you know we're down." He shoots me a quick wink and laughs when I roll my eyes.

"Alright, I'll see when she can come by for dinner… Maybe Mags can watch the kids one night and we can all go out for drinks. And Finn, please just meet her a few times before you try to get her to sleep with you."

"Dude, I'm not sure she'll be able to wait that long." He slaps me on the ass and heads out the door. That's my best friend, always thinking with his dick. He's really the best, I'm so lucky to have found him and Ann.

I glance over to the clock and decide to close up half an hour early. She'll be coming through the back, so I flip the "open" sign to closed and turn off the front lights. Everything is finished and ready for opening, I'll probably still come down and check on everything in the morning when I make Miche's lunch, but I can do that with the girls here…if they they'll agree to stay. I contemplate Finn's advice on jacking off in the shower before she gets here. The last thing I need is for my dick to be hard all night long from being close to her, so I hurry through making myself come. Hopefully that will keep my erections at bay for tonight. Dinner is close to ready, I'd prepped everything earlier on my lunchbreak. I made a fresh loaf of bread for dinner right before I closed down the ovens and an apple pie for afterwards. When I get her text that she's at the backdoor, I practically fly down the stairs.

When I told them to dress comfortably, I was hoping she would wear a sweatshirt or something that covered her whole body. But, fuck no. She's wearing the tightest yoga pants I've ever seen, she definitely has the body for it and there's no way she's wearing panties under those things. Her hair is down in a loose braid, with the end hanging over her shoulder and falling next to the V in her t-shirt that barely shows the top of her cleavage. Goddamn it! I should have make myself come twice.

Lily looks absolutely adorable, she's wearing her frilly princess nightgown from the first time I met her and a shiny plastic tiara. I bow to her and invite her inside, she gives a curtsey back to me and giggles.

"Princess Lily, Sir Miche is upstairs awaiting your arrival. You may find him in the toy room." I tip my head forward to her and she skips up the stairs. The smirk on Kat's face makes it all worth it. I hold my hand out to her, when she takes it and passes by me- I can smell the sweetness of her skin and hair. Fuck, it's going to be hard to keep my eyes and hands off of her. "You look absolutely stunning." I whisper into the spot right behind her ear, I can feel the shiver that runs up her body and through her fingers. I close up the door and she puts a 6pack in the fridge. I love that she's a beer drinker. Delly hated beer.

Katniss is not what I would classify as a 'hugger', not like Delly who would practically throw herself at everyone she saw that she even slightly knew. So, when Kat turns to me and presses her body against mine, wrapping her arms around my neck and standing on her tippy toes to get as close as possible- I'm caught off guard. My legs stumble back but I quickly regain my footing, definitely won't let a moment of closeness with her pass me by. I love the way my arms fit all the way around her and she tips her head slightly to the side to allow my face to hollow into the side of her neck. The way her chest presses into mine when she's straining to be as tall as she can to meet me. Fuck! She smells so good and she's so light, I could easily pick her up and fuck her up against the refrigerator. Calm down. Breathe. Don't focus on how good she feels; how soft her skin is. Damn it! Okay, calm down. Breathe.

"Thanks for having us over Peeta, I've missed you..." The last part was barely a whisper, but it makes my heart flutter and my dick twitch as she runs her hand down my thigh. She softly moans when I kiss the crease at her shoulder and neck, barely skimming my tongue over her skin up to her ear. I don't want to push too far, with the kids being upstairs. Her voice is raspy and sexy when she tells me, "I've been thinking of you..." Goddamn it! Well, if she wants to play it like that. I know how she likes it.

I push her against the side of the panty, out of the line of sight if someone were to come down the stairs, and pull one of her legs up and around my waist. Clearly she's surprised, her chest is heaving...up and down and her eyes are wide. "You've been thinking of me? Hmm?" It's a growl in her ear. I know she likes it; I can feel the heat from her center on my already-hard dick. So much for my previous actions preventing this from happening. "Have you been touching yourself while you're thinking of me?" She nods and I can feel the 'mmmm' that leaves her lips. I have one arm snaked underneath her ass, holding her up. I was right, definitely no panties. I use the other hand to grab at her wrist, she gasps when I suck her two middle fingers into my mouth, leaving them wet with my spit. Then I pull out the waist of her stretchy pants and put her hand inside, "Show me." Her eyes darken and she licks her lips instinctively.

She's hesitant, but she lowers her hand down further into her pants. I can feel her leg tighten around me as she starts to rub her clit. I pull her other leg up and around me, she twists her ankles together and uses the pantry wall to keep her balance. With my hands free, I pull her tshirt up to expose her chest. "Fuck," is the only thing I can say when I see the white lace covering her dark nipples. They're hard, I can see them straining against the fabric of her bra. She and I don't break eye contact as I reach with my mouth and bite at her. Sucking and nipping through her bra. Her hand starts moving faster between us and she's rolling her hips against mine. Goddamn it! All I want to do is throw her over my butcher block table and fuck her from behind while I pull her hair and slap her ass.

She's close. Her chest is heaving, her thighs are clenching and unclenching. I buck up into her, matching her rhythm. "Come for me sweetheart, come now." I smash her up against the wall and press my mouth against hers, I swallow the panting and the moan that sounds like my name that comes from lips. Her hand motions stop and the heaving in her chest slows. I let her legs down slowly and pull her in completely.

"Fuck, Peeta." Is all she says as she pulls me in and kisses me deeply. I'm sure she can feel my dick straining against her stomach. Shit. I should have listened to Finnick and jacked off twice.

"You head upstairs and check on the kids, I just- ah- need a minute." I'm sure I'm blushing. I watch as her eyes drift down to my old athletic shorts. She palms my hardness through my thin shorts and stands up tall to kiss me again.

Fuck me.
