Part Fourteen.

Julie and Thomas went upstairs and saw Luda Mae sitting at the table with an overweight woman.

"You two look like you've been hard at work," the woman said.

"Julie, why don't you go up and clean up. Thomas, you wait until she is all done."

He nodded as the two went upstairs.

"I don't know, Luda. I don't think them's is a good match. She doesn't look like she could manage."

"She's a hell of a lot tougher than any other girl who wandered into this town. I like that Tommy's got a soft spot for her."

"You want grandbabies."

Luda Mae smacked her friend's arm.

"Don't rush into that stuff so fast!"

Thomas and Julie went upstairs. He was about to wait in his room when she pulled his arm.

"I don't see why we both can't clean up together."

They went into the bathroom.

"Let me just wash off my arms first."

Julie went to one side of the bathtub and Thomas went to the other. She started the water and started scrubbing the blood off her arms. She had a little bit on her legs but nothing as covered as her arms. Thomas took off his apron and shirt and followed her example.

Once her arms were done and Thomas was finishing his, she went over to the door and made sure it was locked. He put the stopper in the drain and looked over to Julie. She turned around with that look in her eyes. That look that made his heart race and his hands shake.

Julie went beind her head and untied the apron. Once it hit the floor, she slowly slid her dress off. Thomas had to hold onto the edge of the bathtub for support. His body ached and his knees were weak. She slipped her underwear off and walked over to him.

"Thomas," she whispered as she started taking off his pants.

He lifted himself up and finished taking off his pants and throwing off his boots. Julie went into the water and started rubbing her body with the damp washcloth. Once Thomas was undressed, he got in and kissed her neck. His hands rested on her hips as her hands started massaging his back.

He groaned and started rubbing his hips against hers.

"Anxious, are we?" she said swirling her tongue against his neck.

Thomas tried to make sure she wouldn't slip in his grasp but kept her lower body underneath the water to get cleaned.

Julie used the washcloth to finish wiping away the blood that seeped in through Thomas' clothes from his body. She traced every muscle until he pleaded in groans.

She kissed him as he buried himself deep inside her. A moan escaped her throat as he created a fast and hard pace. He grabbed her breasts as her cries of pleasure were muffled by his mouth. She started moving her body in rhythm with his.

Thomas teased and pinched her nipples as he felt himself reaching his breaking point. Julie broke the kiss, short of breath.

"Thomas-Thomas-I-"

She let out a loud moan as she climaxed. Her muscles contracted against his member and made him release.

He struggled with breath for a few minutes as Julie clung to his neck. She smiled as she kissed him.

"I feel so much better now. A bath was exactly what I needed."

Thomas leaned back and held Julie in his arms. He kissed the top of her head. Julie looked up, her expression a bit nervous.

"Thomas...I-I don't know how to say this...I never felt this way before..."

He was worried. It didn't sound like anything good was coming.

"I love you."

She stared into his eyes as she rested her hand over his heart.

"I love you, Tommy."

Thomas put his hand over her heart and rocked her gently. She buried her face into his neck. What she didn't notice were the tears falling from his eyes. No matter what happened, he could never let anyone take Julie away from him. When she looked at him, smiled at him, or touched him, it was always with passion and love. He couldn't bear to lose it. She was his Julie. His precious jewel.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At dinner, Luda Mae and Hoyt were having an arguement.

"You tear and rip your pants more than any other man in this state!"

"Well I can't help it! I have to chase and keep these damn hippies and bikers away!"

Uncle Monty, Thomas, and Julie ignored the conversation and kept eating. It was a good thing MaeMae and Hoyt were fighting. Thomas and Julie kept making eyes at each other.

Hoyt growled and took another bite of the stew.

"Tommy, was Julie any help downstairs?"

He nodded.

"She didn't just stand there, did she?"

Thomas shook his head no.

"Good."

Luda Mae looked up from her food.

"I got an idea. Why don't we take some meat over to the family?"

Julie looked at them confused.

"We have some family out a few miles out of town. They don't come 'round here that much but we go and visit."

"They'd appreciate the food."

"I think there are about...fifteen people left. Right, Thomas?"

He nodded.

"All right. Julie, you can stay here and watch the place while the rest of us take some over."

Thomas looked over to Hoyt and trembled.

"But-But just me?"

"You can take care of yourself. And now you know how to get your own meals. We'll only be two or three days."

Thomas groaned in protest.

"Thomas is right. What if one of them escaped? I wouldn't be able to get them as fast as Thomas could. What if he stayed with me?"

Before Luda Mae or Hoyt could say anything, Uncle Monty spoke up.

"Let 'im. I'm sick of them making googly eyes around us."

Julie turned bright red as Thomas fidgeted.

"It ain't no secret you two like each other. Just admit you two want some alone time."

"W-Well it would be nice."

Luda Mae wiped her forhead with a napkin.

"Its fine. No need for you two to act shy."

----------------------------------------------------------

The rest of the night was awkward. Everyone sat in the living room and watched a black and white tv that they found in one of the cars of the students. When they opened up the back, it was filled with drugs. Julie took the liberty of tossing the drugs into a box in the basement.

"You dirty slut."

She turned around and saw Justin glaring at her.

"What did you say to me?"

"You're a fucking bitch! You trap us down here and come down while we starve and are cut to bits! By you and that freak!"

She grabbed a thick rope and cut a long piece. Justin tried to back up as she tied a knot in the rope. Julie stuck the knot in his mouth and fastened the ends around his head and under his arms.

She smirked.

"You're just mad because I can get some action while you have to play with yourself."

Justin screams were muffled by the knot.

"Tommy! Thomas, can you come down here?"

He was already waiting at the top of the steps and came downstairs. Julie smiled at him as she walked over to him.

"Is everyone watching tv?"

He nodded.

"They won't come down, will they?"

He shook his head no.

She kissed him and wrapped her arms around his neck. If they wanted to say she was crazy, that was fine. She was crazy about Thomas after all. But she wouldn't have anyone call him a freak.

He pulled away and looked at her curiously.

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't help it. Now that they know, I wanted to kiss you so badly. But I'm a little scared. What if Hoyt said something mean if he saw us?"

Thomas let her go and went over to his tools. He grabbed a blade and swung it around like he was cutting the air.

Julie giggled.

"Aw. That's so sweet. Let's go back upstairs."

He groaned passionately as he rubbed his hand on her face.

"I don't mean that upstairs yet. Soon, I promise."

Thomas sighed defeatedly.

"I'm getting sore. We need breaks."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas and Julie went back upstairs. Hoyt, Uncle Monty, and Luda Mae were watching the few avaliable channels.

"Good timing. A movie's about to come on."

"What is it?" Julie said sitting down.

She accidently sat on top of Thomas, who sat down while she was looking at the tv. Julie tried to get up but he held her close to him. With a giggle, she curled into him. Her legs rested on top of his, her buttocks against his manhood, her chest into his right arm, and her head nestled in his neck. He rubbed his head against the top of her head. She wrapped her right arm around his neck.

"Are you sure I'm not too heavy? If you want me to get up-"

He groaned and massaged her back with his left arm.

Hoyt looked over and sighed.

"Damn it. Look at that."

Julie looked up at Thomas guiltfully. He looked a little frazzled.

Luda Mae fixed that by smacking Hoyt with Uncle Monty's cane.

"Ouch!"

"Don't you say nothing about those two!"

"But look'it! She's turning Tommy into a goddamn toy!"

Julie stuck her tongue out at Hoyt and kissed Thomas' neck.

"I'm not turning him into nothing. I love Tommy."

He put his hand over her heart, his own way of saying it.

"I still think you need to man him up some!"

"What movie are we watching?" Julie asked to change the subject.

"Its called...Birds. Mama thinks it'll be some kinda scary movie."

"That's what the commercial said."

During the movie, Thomas and Julie kept each other warm by snuggling close. When no one was paying attention, they would exchange a few gropes, most of them from Thomas. A few times, he scared her into a tiny squeak. Other times, it was hard for her not to moan as he grabbed her breasts and brought her nipples into peaks.

Then when the movie started getting scary, Julie pretended to bury herself closer to Thomas. She moved her hips slowly and teasingly against his member. He had to bite his lower lip as he felt the pressure building.

When the movie was over, Julie yawned.

"That was a good movie. The ending with the thousands of birds gave me the chills."

"Its gettin' late and you look tired. Why don't you head on up to bed?"

"Okay."

Thomas got up but still held Julie in his arms.

"You gonna take her upstairs?" Luda Mae asked as Hoyt made a disgusted face. She corrected him by smacking him again with the cane.

Thomas nodded and carried Julie up the stairs.

"Dang it! Quit taking my cane!"

"As soon as Hoyt leaves those two alone!"
