Author's Notes: Hi, readers. Here's chapter fifty-four of "Don't Run Away." I'm glad it took just a week 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. I am glad to have brought smut involving this couple back after a long while. I felt it was something Tommy and Kim needed after going through such a tough battle. Stay tuned for chapter fifty-five.

Chapter 54: Walk Home/Intimacy Need
Tommy and Kim were walking down the sidewalk twelve minutes later. They halted themselves when a fox squirrel ran out in front of them. They watched it go across the street to a tree in a house's front yard. It climbed up the tree, going into a hole just below the middle. They looked at each other and raised their eyebrows.
"Talk about being surprised by a squirrel," Tommy said with a chuckle.
"It wasn't even a gray squirrel. It was a fox squirrel," Kim replied and imitated a squirrel's squeaking.
"Nice imitation of a squeaking squirrel," Tommy complimented while tickling her chin.
"Thanks," Kim whispered sweetly and pushed his hand aside. "Fox squirrels aren't native to California at all."
"Oh, really?" Tommy asked surprisingly.
She nodded fast. "Yeah. They were introduced to the area. The first well-known introduction happened in Los Angeles County at a veterans home in 1904. Since 1933, it's been illegal to bring in tree squirrels of any kind, but they've been translocated within the state. The fox squirrel does so well because they have two litters a year compared to the gray squirrel having just one. Their diet is also much broader."
"Wow," Tommy whispered in great awe.
"Yeah. Wow," Kim agreed.
"I am sure they like birdseed because we had a bird feeder outside our old house. Fox squirrels would raid it and eat most of the seeds," Tommy said, moving his eyebrows up and down.
"Oh, they love birdseed," Kim commented, giggling to herself as they resumed walking. "Dad has to fill his bird feeder every other day because the fox squirrels keep emptying it. He is thinking about getting chicken wire to put around the pole, so they can't climb up it. He is also looking at putting metal mesh around the tree trunks to keep them from being able to climb into the branches." She tilted her head somewhat.
"I didn't see a bird feeder in either of the yards at your mother's house when I visited Friday and Saturday nights," Tommy pointed out.
"She got rid of her bird feeder when she became tired of refilling it so much," Kim answered, giving a shrug. "I don't blame her."
He chuckled. "Who would?"
He put his arm around her to give her a big hug. He kissed her temple and released his hold on her. She couldn't help but frown. She looked at him with a soft sniffle.
"I wish we could hug each other and hold hands all the time. I couldn't help but feel jealous at seeing the couples in our group show affection at school," she muttered, her voice showing much sadness.
"I felt the jealousy too. Rocky and Aisha looked like they needed to be pried apart with a crowbar. So did Jason and Trini," he responded, chuckling humorlessly. "I don't think it will be long before Billy and Kat start really showing affection toward each other. I could tell he had a huge crush on her."
Kim bit her lip. "It's rare for a nerd to snag a pretty girl. Without his glasses, Billy does look pretty cute."
Tommy slipped his hands inside his pockets. "Has he ever thought about getting contacts?"
"No, he hasn't. Perhaps we could mention it to him," Kim suggested. "Then again, I don't know how he would react."
"All we can do is try," Tommy said with a shrug. "What do we have to lose?"
"You're right about that," Kim said, a small smile forming on her face.
"Hey, I am always right," Tommy answered smugly and turned his nose upward.
"Not always," Kim said, shaking her head fast.
He growled playfully. "Yeah always."
"No way," Kim commented in mock annoyance.
"Yeah way," Tommy blurted out.
She smacked him upside the head. "Goofball."
The lovebirds came to a stop at a stop sign. They watched a school bus go by. They looked at each other.
"The Dinozords were damaged even worse in the fight against Dragontor and Scorpina than they were when they faced him and the Dragonzord," Kim said, sighing heavily.
"I am sorry that happened," Tommy whispered with much sympathy.
"Rita's attack on the school caught everyone off-guard," Kim mumbled, her body trembling some.
"I actually went up against Dragontor, Scorpina, and the Putties. I didn't have a choice because I didn't want to blow my cover," Tommy admitted, gulping in a little fear.
She blew softly before licking her lips. "You did what you had to do. I don't fault you for that."
He suppressed a yawn. "Thanks."
Tommy and Kim looked toward the street. They observed two cars going in opposite directions. They saw two trucks do the same thing a minute later. She rubbed her hands together.
"I am heading with the team to the Command Center after I meet them at Billy's house. Billy will be helping Alpha design an alternate power system for the zords. After they install it, they will upgrade their weapons," she said.
"What would the zords need an alternate power system for?" he asked confusingly. "They seemed powerful enough on their own and combined as the Megazord."
"The reason is the Dinozords run on solar power. When a solar eclipse happens, its main power source is cut off. Rita has the ability to manipulate natural phenomena, including solar eclipses," Kim explained.
"Rita told me she could do that, but she never mentioned anything about the zords running on solar power," Tommy pointed out and scoffed to himself. "It makes me wonder what else she hasn't told me."
"The alternate power system will kick on and restore the zords to full power after their solar power runs out," Kim said, rubbing her nose.
"Why doesn't Rita attack at night?" Tommy wondered and walked across the street along with her. "It would be logical since the sun isn't very strong then."
"Actually, the zords would still operate very well under the cover of night," Kim said as they upped their pace. They reached the sidewalk. "It's only when a solar eclipse occurs that it loses power. With the alternate power system, that will be a thing of the past."
"You and your friends are smart to plan ahead," Tommy murmured warmly. "Who would've thought the Dinozords would run on the sun's energy?"
"It shocked us at first Zordon told us, but we got used to it. Cloudy days don't block out the sun's rays. You know such days can still cause sunburns," Kim said, clapping twice.
"Oh, I know about that all right. When I was nine years old, I got a sunburn on a cloudy day because Dad forgot to put sunscreen on me when I went swimming in a family friend's pool. I looked like a raspberry pizza after I finished. It hurt, but he put aloe on it. It felt much better," Tommy commented and smacked his lips.
"I see," Kim said in awe. "I've never had a sunburn, but my parents have had several. In our grandparents' day, it wasn't uncommon for people to have sunburns because sunscreen didn't exist. In fact, they didn't even know too much sun could cause skin cancer."
"People aged faster back then due to being out in the sun so much," Tommy added.
"Imagine looking like a leather handbag by the time you are forty," Kim said, snickering to herself. "I shudder at the thought."
"Me too," Tommy said and wiggled his eyebrows. "Yep, yep, yep."
Tommy grabbed a strand of Kim's hair and tickled her cheek with it. She swatted his hand aside. They started talking about today's teens putting on a lot of sunscreen.

Tommy and Kim reached the Oliver residence three minutes later. They approached the front door. He got out his keys. He searched through them until he found the right one. He unlocked it. They turned to face each other. He took her hands into his. He rubbed the backs of them with his thumbs so lightly that it seemed he wasn't even doing that.
"Thanks for walking me home, Kim," he whispered gratefully.
"You're welcome," she replied. "I was glad to do it. I can't wait to see you at the park tomorrow night."
He smiled. "Me neither."
Tommy kissed Kim softly. He let go of her hands to take hold of her head while making the kiss passionate. He slipped his tongue into her mouth, making her groan. She grabbed a hold of his shoulders as if she could hang on to anything else. Their hearts beat very fast. Electricity coursed through their bodies.
"Tommy, I need to—" Kim said, gasping when her boyfriend kissed her neck. She gasped at his sucking on it. "Oh, shit. Don't stop."
"I won't," Tommy assured fiercely. "No way."
Tommy pulled away from his girlfriend. He opened the door and took her hand. He pulled her inside and slammed it shut. He pushed her against it and kissed her hard. He plunged his tongue into her mouth while taking his backpack off his back and tossing it to the floor. She couldn't stop a groan from leaving her mouth. He pulled away from the door enough to allow her to remove her backpack from her back.
He pushed her back up against the door. He pressed one leg between her to hold her in place. They wrapped their arms around each other. He kissed his way to her neck. He licked at it before sucking on it. She leaned her head to the side. This allowed him to get better access. She groaned when he nibbled on it. She gasped at his biting down on her. She sighed in relief at the pain fading away. He captured her lips in another kiss. Their hands wandered and groped everywhere.
He grabbed her pink blouse and ripped it open with a lustful growl. She was glad it had claspable buttons. She didn't want her friends to find out what she had been up to. He took it off, throwing it to the floor. He took off his green t-shirt and tossed it toward her blouse. He kissed her once more. She trailed kisses to his shoulder. She traced her tongue along it before giving it a gentle blow. She proceeded to nibble on it. He emitted a soft moan.
Tommy felt his erection strain against his black shorts. He knew he couldn't hold on much longer. He pulled back to look Kim in the eye. He untied the bow-tied strings slowly. She giggled, knowing he was teasing her. He took them and his blue underwear off. His erection sprung free. She stared at it, her breathing turning to shudders. She turned back to him. She took hold of her blue skirt. She removed it and her white underwear. He positioned himself at her entrance. He entered her quickly and roughly.
He began to thrust in and out of her immediately. He was rough and fast. She moaned while moving her hips with his motions. Their grunting and groaning mingled together. He kissed her passionately. He slid one hand into her hair and the other to the small of her back. Their tongues fought each for dominance. He traveled to her neck. He stopped at the pulse point. He gave it a hard suck. This caused her to moan quietly. She winced when he bit down again. She sighed in relief when the pain faded away. The familiar fire started to build within them.
He returned to her lips to capture them in a possessive kiss. He slipped his tongue into her mouth. He smiled at her moaning softly. He upped the speed and intensity of his thrusting. She broke away from him to smother his neck with hungry kisses. She traveled up to his ear and nibbled on it. She was gentle at first, but she increased the pressure. He emitted a delighted moan. He leaned his head back, an ecstatic sigh leaving his mouth.
Kim kissed Tommy while sliding her hands up and down his back. She traced the muscles that lined it. Their tongues touched, causing groans to come out of their mouths. She returned her arms to his neck and wrapped them around it tightly. She could feel the fire within her getting intense. She believed it was just as intense in him.
She kissed her way to his neck. She licked at it before giving it a hard blow. She went to the pulse point. She alternated between kissing and nibbling on it. She bit down, which caused him to wince. He let out a relieved sigh at the pain fading away. They looked at each other with very intense expressions on their faces. They kissed long and hard. They hugged each other tightly, unable to let go at all.
He could feel the fire within him reaching its peak. He reached down to massage her clit. She broke the kiss. She stared at him with much intensity. He looked back at her with just as much of that. He thrusted rougher and faster into her. He clenched his teeth. He braced his hands against the door. He curled them into fists and banged one on it. His body tightened with every second passing. He went to her neck and licked at it.
"Kim, I can't—" Tommy started.
"Me neither, Tommy," Kim responded with much lust. She wrapped her arms around his neck. She whimpered at his tracing her ear with his tongue. "Damn it. Shit!"
He thrusted into her one last time as he let out a fierce growl. He released himself into her. She echoed her release to him with no time in between. Their bodies trembled a bit. He pulled away from her ear to look at her. She stroked his cheek. Their pants came out hard and fast.
"Wow," Kim said breathlessly.
Tommy chuckled. "You are right about that. I'm not even done with you."
Tommy grabbed Kim's legs, wrapping them around his waist. He put his hands under her armpits. He moved them away from the door, his cock still being inside her. He laid her on the floor in front of the fireplace. He began moving in and out of her once more. He was just as rough and fast as before. He kissed her neck hungrily, his body tightening with each thrust. Their hands wandered everywhere. He planted kisses along her jaw before nuzzling it. Her moans were like music to his ears.
He blew on his girlfriend's neck before kissing it. He moved his hands to her butt. He gave it a hard squeeze. He made his way to her ear trace to tongue along it. He nibbled on it. She whimpered at his touching her breasts. He fondled them slowly, almost as if he were teasing them. He pinched the nipples through her white bra. She let out an ecstatic moan when he slid his hands up and down her legs.
"Damn," Kim groaned huskily. She whimpered at his rubbing deep circles into her thighs. "Yes! Don't stop!"
"Let it all out, Kim," Tommy hissed in much intensity. "I am not stopping now. No way."
Tommy thrusted rougher and faster into Kim. She kissed his shoulder before nuzzling it. She licked at it before running her tongue along it. She gave it a gentle blow. She slid her hands over his back, chest, stomach, and arms. She traced every muscle that lined them. She brought them to his butt. She squeezed it hard. He tried to keep a moan from leaving his mouth, but he couldn't help himself.
He felt the fire within him reaching its peak. He slid a hand downward and massaged her clit. She emitted a pleasurable moan. She grabbed at his hair. She closed her eyes and whimpered softly. They engaged in long, hard kisses. Their tongues dueled for control. They groaned. She tore away from him. She opened her eyes to stare into his.
Tommy quickened his pace, a lustful growl leaving his mouth. He made three simultaneous movements from his hips and fingers, bringing himself and Kim to climax without any time in between. Their bodies trembled so much that it seemed they wouldn't stop. He found himself unable to stay up. He collapsed on top of her. They panted hard and fast. Their heartbeats returned to normal. They managed to catch their breath. He lifted himself and looked at her.
"I am amazed we made love in your living room twice in just a few short minutes," she exclaimed.
"I am too. I am glad we did," he said, smiling. "It was great to get all that battle adrenaline out of my system."
"I feel the same way," Kim agreed. "The coolest thing is we did it while we were still wearing our shoes."
"And you are still wearing your bra," Tommy added, flicking her nose. "It doesn't matter. I am willing to make love to you if you still had all your clothes on. Except for your underwear, that is." He winked at her.
"It's not easy fighting against you, but I am grateful for these moments we can have," Kim whispered and sighed in content.
"So am I," Tommy said, nodding at her. He gave her a loving look. "I love you so much."
"I love you too," Kim responded with much love. "Now and forever."
Tommy and Kim kissed tenderly. Their kiss became passionate quickly. Their tongues fought each other, and groans left their mouths. She broke it, though it was reluctant.
"I have to go, Tommy," Kim whispered seriously and cleared her throat. "The others are waiting for me."
Tommy moved off Kim to stand up. He grabbed her hands and pulled her to her feet. They gathered their clothes. They put on their underwear, followed by their bottoms. He tied his strings before putting on his t-shirt. She slipped on her blouse and buttoned it up. She ran her fingers through her hair. She managed to fix it a bit. She smoothed out her blouse with both hands. She did the same to her skirt. She grabbed her backpack after going to it. She put it over her shoulders. They went to the door. He opened it, and they looked at each other.
"I can't wait to see you tomorrow night," he whispered lovingly.
"I can't wait to see you either," she replied excitedly. "Bye."
Kim walked outside. He went into the doorway and observed her going to the sidewalk and walking down it. He waved to her, and she responded with a wave of her own. He stared after her until she was out of sight. He went back in the house and closed the door. He locked it and turned around to lean his back against it.
Tommy sighed contently. He wished he had a remote control that could fast-forward to his and Kim's meeting at the lake tomorrow night. He ached to be with her intimately once more. He loved the secluded area a lot. He decided to refer to it as their secret place. He wondered if other couples had used it to engage in sex.
Tommy emitted a small yawn. He knew he needed to get his music and American history homework done. He shifted in his position uncomfortably. He needed to go to the bathroom badly. He grabbed his backpack from the floor. He went to his room, tossing it on his bed. He headed into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
