Peeta's POV

One week later

I heard Katniss screaming. I woke up instantly and tried to reach for her I couldn't. She wasn't in bed.

"No, no please! No!" she screamed. I scanned the room and saw her shaking curled up in the fetal position by the windows.

"Kat! Kat!" I screamed for her. Her nightmares were getting worse. This was the fourth night in a row she'd woken up screaming. She had never gotten out of the bed still asleep before. I moved off the bed as fast as I could and came to her side. She was still screaming and her cry's were gut wrenching.

"Prim! Please no! Prim! Prim!" Shit, it was about her sister again. I shook her awake and watched her eyes snap open in fear. Her breathing was fast.

"Katniss love, come here." I lifted Katniss up. She was ice cold from sleep walking by the windows. I carried her over to the bed. She was still shivering in my arms. The clock said it was 5am. I sat with her in bed pulling the covers over us and warming her with my body. She wasn't screaming anymore which was a good sign. I moved my hands over her body trying to warm her. All she wore was a little see through shirt. I put my hand to her face and when she finally looked up at me she had tears in her eyes.

"Sweetheart, it was just a dream. It's okay, love. It was just a dream."

This past week had been tough on all of us. Katniss was getting over her stomach bug. She was sleeping more and with it came really vivid nightmares. Thresh was doing much better, but still hadn't woken up yet. It was taking a really hard toll on Rue and Katniss. They still had to force feed him and sponge bathe him. We had just finished setting up an untraceable phone line late yesterday and I was going to have Katniss call Gale to see if he had made it back to Panem yet. If he had, he should hopefully have news of Prim who's cell chip hadn't activated yet.

"It was so real. Prim...she was being beaten and men were trying to rape her. I couldn't get to her." Jesus Christ, that must have been terrifying. Poor Katniss.

"It was just a dream baby. Just a dream. The untraceable landline is working so we can try to reach Gale. He might be back in Panem. Mayb,e he can tell us how Prim is. We'll call him later today."

She nodded and sat up a little to wrap her arms around my neck. I held her like that for a while calming her and feeling her body warm against mine. She met my eyes and gave me a deep kiss.

"Let's just stay here for a little while, okay?" She asked and I nodded

"Sounds like a good plan to me. How are you feeling otherwise, honey? Are you still nauseous today?" I asked. I was still a little worried about her.

"Yeah, I'm okay."

"Okay, I just worry about you Kat. If you need anything, you'll tell me right?"

"Of course, baby."

The monitor began to beep and I instantly tensed with Katniss in my arms. It was an automatic reaction. I calmed down when it was just a mail delivery notice. I had taken to keeping a security monitor at our bedside as another precaution in case Thresh and Damien had been followed. I looked on the screen and it was just telling me that a package had been delivered to the property.

The address said it came from Finnick and Annie' place. Rue said she would call Annie with the secure land line to place an order for medical supplies. This must be the first shipment. I pressed the intercom and let Rue know the package was here. She had taken the night shift with Thresh so I knew she'd be up. I had showed her a few days ago how to make it to the front of the property using the tunnel so no one would have to be seen to pick it up. With a secure landline and secure mail drop off, we could have supplies delivered on a regular basis.

"Thanks for letting me know. I'll go pick it up now. Thresh's temperature is back to normal by the way," Rue said through the intercom

"Good, I'm glad. Kat and I will be in our room if you need anything."

"Sounds good."

I put the monitor down and scooted back over to Katniss. She had laid her head down on my pillow her hair spread out around her. She was looking up at me with an invitation in her eyes. It was incredibly cold outside. Even with the heat on nobody ever wanted to leave their beds. That was fine by me. It was early morning. With Katniss being sick this week, all of us running around to take care of Thresh and Damien's withdrawal was getting worse, we hadn't spent much time just being together. I laid down with her and wrapped my arm around her waist.

I pulled her to me so our bodies were flush against each other and kissed her forehead softly. I knew she was worried about her family, and I wished we could know for sure if Prim got the cell chip. So far it hadn't been activated so I only hoped it was because Gale hadn't gotten to Panem yet. Before we left Annie and Finnick's, Katniss had taken a chip out of the storeroom and left a note on it for Gale instructing him to give it to Prim. We wrote down the ID number so once it was activated we could speak to her.

The problem was the waiting. We weren't getting any news in from Panem and the things Haymitch had discussed with us worried her. She wasn't talking to me about it. That hurt me a little, but I tried not to focus on it. She would open up to me in her own time about those fears. She was open with me about her feelings and that was enough for now. I felt her move against me and my attention again returned to her beautiful face.

"Peeta?"

"Yes, baby?"

"If I asked you to do something for me, would you?"

"Kat, You know I'd do anything for you."

"I don't know how to ask for this I'm kind of embarrassed."

"You never have to be embarrassed with me. Think of everything we've gone through."

"Okay…I just...I want to feel…." She was clearly trying to figure out how to phrase her words. " I want to feel your slave again...your sex slave, I mean."

"You want to do what?" I had never thought of Katniss and my sex slave she knew that.

"I don't mean for you to put the ankle cuff back on or anything just…you know in the bedroom. You could tie me up, demand I do things..." She was blushing incredibly hard ,but I was happy she was able to tell me what she wanted.

"Okay love, we can try that. What made you think about it?"

"When I first came to you, I was so worried about everything. But when I felt like I was your slave and we did things together, I felt free from my worries because you were in control of everything. I didn't think. I just did what you told me to do. I really want that feeling back. I want it back so badly. I want to do everything you say. I want you to tie me up and I want to forget about everything, but you. When I submit to you, I stop worrying about everything I can't control."

"So you want me to be your dominant?"

She nodded. Blushing again. "Okay, if that's what you want Kat."

Shit, I definitely did not see that one coming. In a way, it made sense. I had always been the more dominant one between us sexually. I had even has some experience back in my days before the accident with some incredibly light BDSM stuff. The hardcore chains and whips weren't my thing. I did like some of the lighter stuff though I never thought to do it with Katniss. I guess this was just us taking our play to a different level. If Katniss thought this would help her relax, I was all for it. I'd do anything to distract her from this fear that was building in her. She had just been so sick. I didn't want to hurt her. Maybe we'd come up with a safe word. She would have to be able to tell me if she wasn't okay with something. I had to admit I was definitely looking forward to seeing Katniss all tied up just for me.

"You have to tell me if I hurt you or do something your not comfortable with, okay?"

"Yes, just please Peeta make me yours."

"You are mine." I kissed her hard on the mouth.

Katniss's POV

I don't know why I asked him, but once the words were out of my mouth I realized that was what I had needed. I was worn down to the bone from taking care of Thresh, Damien and myself. All the while being so worried about Prim and why Gale hadn't gotten to her yet. I craved for Peeta to take control, and the more I thought about it the more excited I became.

We established a safe word and I felt him take some silk scarves and wrapped them around my ankles and my wrists and tie me to the bed. I was stretched out like an upside down Y. My wrists clasped together and tied to the center of the headboard, my legs each tied to a bed post. I was spread before him and not being able to move was already helping me to relax. I know it should probably do the exact opposite, but I trusted Peeta so completely that I felt no panic and no desire to try to escape his grasp.

"Are you happy to be tied up, Katniss?"

"Yes," I answered with a whisper. I felt Peeta run his hands down my arms and legs. I felt him cup my breast through my shift and rub his thumb lightly over my nipple. I bit my lip to keep from moaning out loud.

"Do you like it when I caress you here?"

"Yes," I breathed

"Yes what?"

"Yes, master."

God, it felt really hot to call him that. I felt myself getting really turned on.

He smirked at being called master and I watched a new side of Peeta start to emerge. He seemed really comfortable dominating me. I was so turned on and glad I was able to voice what I wanted.

"Do you know what I want, Katniss?" He was fondling the other breast now too and breathing the words over my neck. Teasing me with his closeness.

"No master."

"I want to hear you screaming in pleasure, and I want to watch you climax around me. But, what I want more then anything is for those things to happen only when I tell you too. You're mine Kat and you will do nothing without my approval. Do you understand?"

His hands had traveled behind me and he grasped both of my ass cheeks in his large hands squeezing hard.

"Yes, yes Master." Oh god. He had lifted me up and I felt his bulge through his shorts rub up against my exposed center. The shift had ridden up to my waist exposing my lower half to his hungry gaze.

He bit down on my ear as he whispered, "Who do you love?"

"You, master."

I was rewarded with a thrust of his groin to my center and his mouth sucking against my neck. The pressure against my clit mixed with his mouth suckling my sensitive skin had me slick and burning for him.

"You've been an obedient little slave so far haven't you Katniss?" He whispered against my neck as he continued to grind his cock back and forth over my clit. I jerked my head in an affirmative motion.

"I think you deserve a reward for your obedience, don't you?"

I couldn't answer with words I just whimpered in pleasure silently begging him to pleasure me more.

He moved down my body and positioned my pussy at his mouth and began to suck my clit hard. I screamed at the pleasure of finally having direct stimulation. He licked me over and over plunging his tongue into my folds and coming back up to swirl around my clit. I was nearing the edge when I felt him insert two fingers into my core and begin to fuck me with them. The pleasure was so intense and was only made stronger by my hands being restrained from touching him. He began to make a come hither motion with his fingers, hitting my g-spot. He sucked hard on my clit and I went soaring.

"I want you to come around my fingers Katniss. Come for me, baby." He said against my lower lips. The second he went back to sucking my clit I felt myself explode. The climax wracked through me and I screamed his name in my release.

When I came to, Peeta was kissing my body while his hands untied my bound wrists. I was sweaty and out of breathe from him loving my body. After he finished untying my ankles, he ordered me to get up and follow him.

I got up and met him in the bathroom. He had turned on the shower and was taking off his shorts when I found him. The site of Peeta naked was so glorious. I felt like I was getting to appreciate him anew by looking at him as my master. There was a subtle change in Peeta when he was being my master. He was more reserved, more confident and more talkative in bed. I really liked it.

He commanded me to take off my shift in front of him. I did as he said and lifted my shift slowly over my head using both my hands. I kept my arms up above my head displaying my breasts in the best light. I let the shift fall from my fingers.

"What else would you like, Master?"

"I want you to get into the steam room and sit on your knees waiting for me."

"Yes, sir." God, I was getting excited again thinking about what he might have me do next. I did as he said and walked into the steam room which was filled with aromatic vanilla steam. It smelled delicious. I heard Peeta come in behind me and shut the door. A burst of pleasure shot into my pussy as I kneeled before him. His huge cock extremely stiff and commanding attention.

"Suck me," He said and I began to take him into my mouth slowly. I felt his hand go into my hair and caress my scalp. He started guiding me to suck him the way he wanted it. He let out a moan of pleasure and I felt myself cream onto the floor. Him in control of me while I gave him pleasure was such an erotic mix that I felt high from it.

"Harder" he ordered me. I sucked in my cheeks to give him a tighter suck as I moved my tongue up and over his crown. He tasted salty and I lapped up whatever precum had escaped from his tip. He placed both hands in my hair and began to thrust deeply into my mouth. It felt his tip go toward the back of my throat and moaned around him in pleasure.

"O god, Kat." His thrusting got faster and I sucked him as hard as I could guiding my mouth over his thick length. He cried out with a final thrust. Hot spurts of cum shot into the back of my throat and I swallowed his salty seed. He remained in my mouth more cum trickling out of his member and I continued to twirl my tongue around him licking up every last drop of the semen. I couldn't get enough of him.

Slowly he removed himself from my mouth and helped me stand. He put his arms around me in a strong embrace and I returned it kissing his bare chest above his heart. We left the steam room and moved towards the rain shower that he had turned on earlier. He washed me and caressed my skin. Keeping our bodies touching. He gently massaged my shoulders and kissed my neck as he did so.

He left the shower and told me to stay where I was. I did as he said and saw him come back with a couple of warm white towels. He shut the water off and dried me carefully where I stood. It was so caring and intimate I felt overcome by how much I loved him. I was his and he cared for me so completely. He showed me in his everyday actions. It came second nature to him and made me feel amazing. I felt looked after for. I was safe, relaxed, cherished. I got exactly wanted when I asked to be his slave this morning.

When he was finished, he brought me a warm white robe and he donned a matching one. He kissed me thoroughly making sure to hold me close the whole time.

"Shall we go get some breakfast and check on Thresh?" I nodded at his suggestion. I really wanted to stay in bed all da,y but I knew we would be missed. I should help Rue put away the grocery shipment.

The morning passed by uneventfully. Damien still hadn't gotten up yet and it was almost noon. Thresh had yet to awaken, but his body was healing and his vitals were looking so much better that I wasn't to worried about him. Peeta made an amazing breakfast and ordered me to remain at the table. He was loving the whole dominant thing, but not really taking advantage of the slave part of it. He was ordering me to allow him to pamper me. He served me banana pancakes with a whipped cream heart placing it down right in front of me and whispered in my ear

"I know how much you like the cream."

I blushed at his comment. I have to admit I secretly adored the whipped cream heart. It was a very Peeta thing to do. Rue ate with us. After, we unpacked the delivery from Annie. Rue sent Peeta to go wake Damien and watch over Thresh. I didn't really think Thresh needed to be watched over, but I wasn't going to say anything.

"Katniss, I really need to talk to you about something."

"What is it Rue? What's wrong? Is that why you sent Peeta to watch over Thresh?"

"Yeah, I need to ask you a few things. They're kind of personal. I'll get to the point, I promise."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Katniss, have you had you period since you've been in America?"

"Um, no." I had always been irregular that was nothing new. "But that's typical for me. In Panem, I rarely got my period because of malnutrition and stress."

"But you haven't really been malnourished here have you? You and Peeta didn't pick up any protection before we left Annie and Finnick's."

"I hadn't really thought about it then. I'm protected from the birth control shot they gave me before I left Panem for another month. Peeta and I looked in the records after you said something to us in the van. It was a three month dosage."

"But Katniss, you throwing up and you're having vivid dreams…"

"Rue, what are you getting at? Are you trying to tell me you think I'm pregnant?"

"I just think that it's a possibility. You don't know what they gave you in Panem. The shot wouldn't have kept you from getting your period.

"I just think that it's a possibility. You don't know what they gave you in Panem or if it really worked. The shot wouldn't have kept you from getting your period. So I just ordered some stuff from Annie just to be safe in whatever the case turned out to be. I got us some feminine products because if your not pregnant you will get your period eventually and I ordered you some birth control because if your not pregnant you will get pregnant if you don't start taking the pill. And just to make sure that your not pregnant I ordered some Pregnancy tests. Will you take one for me? Please?"

I was dumbfounded I did not see this conversation coming at all. I guess I should thank Rue for making sure I was prepared but I felt weird that she knew so much about this kind of stuff when I didn't. I felt naïve and stupid.

"Um… Do you really think I need too?" Rue nodded. I started getting incredibly nervous. When Rue put it all together it sounded like I just entered into having sex without taking precautions. Once I was already having sex, I read on a piece of paper that I had been given a birth control shot but didn't use any additional protection since then. I had also missed two periods and found myself throwing up most mornings with very few other abnormal symptoms. When Rue put it together for me it sounded very much like I was pregnant.

I started breathing hard as Rue handed me one of the tests. She explained to me how to use it and we walked together to the bathroom.

"I'll be right outside if you need me okay?" Rue said, I just nodded at her.

I took the test and came back out to Rue holding it in my hands. I didn't know how to read it. I showed it to her and her eyes went wide.

"Guys! Thresh is awake!" Peeta yelled at us down the hall. Neither of us moved.

"Rue what does the test say?" I whispered to her.

She held the answer key in one hand and my test in the other.

"Katniss! Rue! Thresh is awake why aren't you…" Peeta had reached us and saw the way we were standing. "What's going on? Rue, what are you holding?"

Rue looked up at me terror clearly written in her eyes. "It's positive." She whispered back to me.

Oh Dear God.
