Author's Notes: Hi, readers. Here's chapter twenty-six of "Don't Run Away." I'm glad it took just five days to get out. This chapter has lots of Tommy/Kim. There is also sexual content. Like before, do not read it if it makes you uncomfortable. Otherwise, you may read at your own risk. It is possible I will bring Kat, Tanya, and Justin into this fic. I have added Rocky/Aisha to the pairing list. More pairings may be added as the fic progresses due to more Ranger characters appearing. Scorpina will be making her first appearance very soon. Stay tuned for chapter twenty-seven.

Chapter 26: Such Incredible Passion

Clouds covered most of the midevening sky above the Baxter residence the next day. A gentle breeze went through the trees, their leaves rustling softly. The house was large and contained three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The basement had one of the bathrooms. A wooden fence surrounded the backyard. The back door was a sliding glass type. The front porch had two foldable chairs and a swing.

Kim lay on her back on her queen-sized bed in her room. She had her hands behind her head. Her eyes scanned her large room that contained bright yellow walls, a pine dresser, and an oak nightstand. A TV was seated on top of the dresser. It had a VCR sitting next to it. A rocking chair sat near the window. A desk was next to the door. Her window was wide open. The curtains moved slightly back.

She looked at the clock, seeing it read eight-thirty. She laid her hands on her stomach. She hoped Tommy would make it here by nine o'clock as they agreed when they encountered each other in the hallway just before school started. She gave him directions on how to get to Caroline's house from his. To her luck, it was only a block away. She told him to open the fence and go across the backyard to the third window.

She tried not to smile, but she couldn't help herself. She was excited about having her boyfriend in her mother's house for the first time. She couldn't keep herself from staring at him during her classes. She even caught him looking at her several times. She could tell he was aching to meet her here. She had to admit she was aching just as much as he was. The best part was today being Friday. That meant they could stay up late and sleep in. She wondered if he might fall asleep with her in her bed. She saw that as very romantic.

Her thoughts shifted to last night's incredible meeting in the dreamscape. She was looking forward to meeting him there again in the near future. She loved how it allowed them to see each other, even when they were far apart. She knew they could envision themselves in any landscape they wanted to be in and do whatever they wanted. They could stay there until they were ready to return to the real world.

The sound of the fence gate opening and closing snapped Kim out of her thoughts. She was surprised that happened earlier than she expected. Of course, it didn't mean it was Tommy. It could be someone going across her backyard to get home after sneaking out of his or her house. That had happened several times in the past. She sat up and swung her legs over the edge of her bed. She rose to her feet and went to the window. Just then, Tommy appeared before it.

"Hey, Beautiful," he greeted lovingly and kissed her on the lips.

"Hey, Handsome," she answered and ruffled his hair. "What are you doing here thirty minutes early?"

"My parents decided to go to bed early due to being so tired from unpacking and working this week. They were asleep the second their heads hit their pillows. I thought I'd sneak out and come here earlier," Tommy explained.

"I see," Kim whispered and touched his cheek to stroke it. "I am so glad you are here." She kissed his cheek. "Why don't you come in?"

"Sure," Tommy commented eagerly. "Here I come, ready or not."

She giggled and stepped aside. He climbed in through the window and approached the front of her bed. He looked around. He appeared to be very impressed. She closed the window nearly all the way before coming to his side. She clasped her hands together.

"Your room looks very nice, Kim," Tommy complimented.

"Thanks," Kim replied gratefully. "What did you think of the front and back of the house as you arrived?"

"It looked very nice from the outside. It is larger than my house is. The backyard is bigger than mine is too," Tommy answered, chuckling warmly. He bent down to untie his white tennis shoes. He took them and his gray socks off. He rose to his full height. "I didn't have any trouble finding it at all."

She came to the front of him. "That's great. I can't help being excited that you are here. I never thought I'd have my boyfriend sneak into my room so early in our relationship." She took his hands into hers.

"This is exciting to me as well," Tommy said, feeling her rub the backs of his hands with her thumbs. "Of course, we're not just boyfriend and girlfriend anymore. We are lifelong mates."

"It was wonderful meeting you in the dreamscape," Kim whispered in a loving voice. "I hope it happens again very soon."

"Me too," Tommy said, pulling one of his hands out of hers to cup her chin in his hand. "Of course, I like meeting you in the real world better."

"It's not always possible, but at least we have the power to see each other, even when our physical bodies are far apart," Kim responded, sighing contently.

"I have to admit that it was so hard not to look at you during the classes we have together," Tommy said in a gentle voice. "I was counting down the minutes to when I would come to your house to see you."

"I did too, though I didn't expect you to come so early," Kim pointed out.

"I had to grab the opportunity to leave early since my parents were already asleep," Tommy answered. "After all, I didn't want to forget about our meeting here." He winked at her.

"Goofball," Kim said, slapping him on the arm.

He smirked. "I know you are, but what am I?"

Kim growled playfully and kissed her boyfriend. She slipped her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. She sighed in content when his encircled her waist. Her tongue entered his mouth, making him groan. It wrestled with his for control. Their heartbeats sped up. Electricity jolted up and down their spines before speeding through their bodies. They broke apart, gasping for air. They pressed their foreheads together.

"I can never get enough of kissing you like that," Tommy muttered breathlessly.

"Me neither," Kim agreed, shuddering softly. "I will never kiss another guy for as long as I live."

"I won't ever kiss another girl for as long as I live, my mate," Tommy declared.

She ran her tongue over her lips. "Make love to me right now."

He hissed. "I will, but you should close the door, window, and curtains first. We don't want to risk anyone peeking in here."

Kim nodded at Tommy and went to the window. She closed it and the curtains all the way. She approached the door to do the same. She returned to him, her breathing turning to shudders. They kissed fiercely, their arms wrapping around each other. Their hands wandered and groped everywhere. Their hearts beat even faster than they did a second ago. Their tongues fought for control. Moans left their mouths.

He moved her toward the door, pushing her up against it. He kissed to her jaw. He nuzzled it before running his tongue along it. He went to her pulse point. He proceeded to nibble on it. She tilted her head to the side. She moaned ecstatically. She became louder at his sucking the same spot. She took hold of his shoulders. She gave them hard squeezes.

He reached down, grabbing the hem of her pink blouse. He pushed it up to her breast line. He dropped to his knees. She leaned her head back. She sighed delightfully when he kissed her stomach. He ran his tongue over her navel. This caused her breathing to become heavy. She touched his head. She ran her fingers through his hair. He slipped his hands underneath her shirt. He squeezed her breasts.

"That feels good, Tommy," Kim groaned. She whimpered at his fondling her breasts. "You better not stop! I mean it!"

"I won't, Kim," Tommy declared with a seductive growl. "I will make it feel great for you. You can count on it."

Tommy removed his hands underneath from his girlfriend's shirt. He rose to his full height to kiss her passionately. He slipped his tongue into her mouth. He smiled against it at a groan coming from her. She slipped her hands underneath his green t-shirt. She traced every muscle that lined his back and chest. He groaned while putting his hands under her armpits. He lifted her upward. She wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms with his neck. He carried her to the bed. He laid her down. He got on top of her and settled in between her legs. His hands went to her breasts. They fondled them through her shirt.

He took his hands away from her breasts. He grabbed at her hair so tightly that he appeared ready to rip it out. He kissed down to her neck. He licked at it before blowing on it gently. She leaned her head back while emitting an ecstatic sigh. He kissed her possessively. He plunged his tongue into her mouth. It touched hers. He smiled against her lips when she moaned quietly.

He broke the kiss, pulling back to look at her. He grabbed her blouse while breathing heavily. He ripped it open with a fierce growl. She was glad it had claspable buttons because she didn't want to risk her mother finding out what she had been doing. She remembered the clothes she wore during their second meeting being old. She didn't mind throwing those away after she got home. She wasn't against more of her clothes being ripped to pieces, but she didn't want it done too much.

Tommy took Kim's blouse off and tossed it to the floor. He removed his t-shirt and threw it beside her blouse. They kissed with great passion, their hands wandering and groping everywhere. He traveled to her jawline. He traced it with his tongue. He moved to her ear. He nibbled on it before licking at it. She was unable to keep a moan from leaving her mouth. She rolled her head back into the pillow.

Tommy and Kim kissed long and hard. He reached behind her and undid her black bra clasp. He took it off to throw it to the floor. He slid his hands over her breasts three times. He fondled them slowly at first, but he upped his pace. He gave them hard squeezes, and she screamed ecstatically. He smothered her neck with hungry kisses. He teased her nipples with his thumbs, hardening them. She kissed his shoulder, and he nibbled on it. She moved her hands over his arms, back, chest, and stomach.

"Talk about incredible," she whispered. She whimpered at her boyfriend biting her neck hard. "Damn it! Yes!"

"That's it, Kim," he growled with much intensity. "Now, tell it to the world that you are mine."

"I am yours," Kim declared. "Always."

"Good girl," Tommy responded happily. "My love, my mate."

Tommy and Kim engaged in another passionate kiss. She trailed kisses to his neck. She gave it a gentle blow. She smiled at an excited moan coming from him. He winced painfully at her biting down on him. He emitted a relieved sigh when the pain faded quickly. She went to his ear. She traced her tongue along it before nibbling on his earlobe. She giggled when he groaned loudly. They hugged each other. They didn't want to let go. They felt the familiar fire building within them.

He kissed her neck. He nibbled on it before sucking on it hard. He slid his hands up and down her body so slowly that it seemed he wasn't even moving them. He pulled away from her. He gave her an intense stare. He grabbed the waistband of her pink pants. He pulled them off quickly and tossed them to the floor. He grabbed her white underwear and tore it off. He touched her shoulders. He moved his hands down her body, the skin breaking out in goosebumps.

He moved back and leaned down. He rubbed his face against her entrance. He nibbled on it before giving it a hard blow. She shuddered a bit. He plunged his tongue inside her. He fondled her wet folds. She couldn't keep a moan from leaving her mouth. She grabbed at the covers with both hands. He used his tongue to tease her clit. She moaned excitedly as she moved her hips with his motions. He bit her clit hard. She screamed while coming. She couldn't breathe since she was so lost in it.

Kim's high ebbed away. She felt very sated and released her grip on the covers. Tommy came to her eye level. He kissed her roughly. She pushed her tongue into his mouth. She wanted to taste her sweetness. Their tongues fought each other fiercely. He kissed down to her neck. He licked at it. He smiled at her groaning softly. He pulled away and looked at her. His breathing became pants.

She saw the large bulge in his green pants. She knew he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. She pushed them and his gray underwear down. He helped her get them off, his cock springing forward. Her breathing turned to shudders. She looked at him. A small whimper left her mouth. She swallowed hard before biting her lip.

Tommy aligned his cock at Kim's entrance. He pressed his forehead against hers. He began to enter her, but he pulled back out. She giggled, knowing he was teasing her. He slid inside of her until he was sheathed to the hilt. He began thrusting in and out of her almost immediately. She wrapped her arms around him in a tight manner. Her head rolled back into the pillow. She sighed in great ecstasy.

The lovebirds kissed long and hard. They groaned, their tongues fighting each other. He broke away from her. He kissed from her forehead to her jawline. He nuzzled the latter. He went to her neck. He proceeded to nibble on it. She moaned pleasurably. He gave it a gentle blow. He moved between licking at and sucking on it. She whimpered softly yet excitedly. Their grunting and groaning blended in an endless chorus.

"Oh, damn," Kim whispered in a husky voice. She hissed quietly when he bit down on her neck. She grew louder at his blowing on it. "Oh, don't stop, Tommy. Please."

Tommy growled very fiercely. "Never, Kim. Never."

Tommy kissed Kim possessively. He pushed his tongue into her mouth. He smiled into it when she groaned. He upped the speed and intensity of his thrusting. His body tightened with every passing second. He traced every inch of her mouth. She emitted a soft yet excited moan. He kissed down to her pulse point. He nibbled on it. He sucked on it before giving it a hard blow. She grabbed at his shoulders as if trying to keep herself from falling into the abyss.

He kissed her lips again. He slipped his tongue into her mouth, which caused her to moan quietly. He slid his hands to her breasts. He fondled them slowly, almost as if he were teasing. He rolled the nipples in his hands. He smothered her neck with hungry kisses. She kissed his shoulder before nibbling on it. She proceeded to lick at it. He growled intensely as he grabbed at her hair. The fire within him was building to such a strong point that he thought he'd lose it any second. He had little doubt it was doing the same in her.

He pulled away to stare deep into her eyes. He hissed while grabbing her wrists. He pinned them above her head. He thrusted harder and faster into her. The fire in both of them was reaching its peak. He tightened his grip on her a little bit. She whimpered loudly as she squeezed her eyes shut. He leaned down and pressed his forehead against hers.

"I'm about to—" she cried and opened her eyes.

"Me too," he said and clenched his teeth. "Damn it. Shit!"

Tommy kissed Kim passionately, his thrusts growing harder and faster. His grip on her wrists tightened even more. Their climax was almost at its peak. He broke the kiss. He pressed his forehead against hers once more. She whimpered softly and kissed his lips. He slipped his tongue into her mouth, touching hers. He smiled against her lips when she moaned.

He finally released himself into her. She echoed her release to him without any time in between. They broke the kiss to stare deep into each other's eyes. Their panting became mingled together. Their bodies trembled so much that it seemed they wouldn't be able to stop. He loosened his grip on her. He couldn't stay up and collapsed on top of her. He laid his head on her shoulder. Their trembles ceased as their heartbeats returned to normal. She stroked his head with one hand and his back with the other.

"As much I enjoyed making love with you in the dreamscape, it's better when we do it in the real world," he admitted in a breathless voice.

"You said it, Tommy," she said with a contented sigh. "If only we could be like this all the time." She sniffled.

Tommy took his head off her shoulder and gazed at her. "The bright side is tomorrow is Saturday. We have no school to worry about. We can sleep in as late as we want."

"I enjoy sleeping in. It helps me catch up on any sleep I lost during the week," Kim commented.

"Like on Monday," Tommy replied.

"Exactly," Kim murmured and kissed his nose. She touched his forehead. "I am determined to savor every moment we share together."

"I am too," Tommy said, planting a kiss to her forehead. He pressed his against it. "You will always be in my heart."

Kim stroked his cheek with the back of her hand. "And you will always be in mine."

Tommy and Kim kissed tenderly. Their kiss became passionate very quickly. He began moving inside her. His cock became hard. He slipped his tongue into her mouth. He smiled at her emitting a soft moan. Their hearts pounded so hard that it seemed they would leap out of their chests and land on the floor any second. Electricity sped through their bodies.

He kissed down to her neck to lick at it. He gave it a hard suck before biting down on it. She let out a painful wince. She sighed in relief when the pain faded quickly. He kissed her possessively. She slipped her tongue into his mouth. He groaned in a loud manner. They slid their hands over each other's bodies. The world faded around them as they made love once more.
