Vrskaandrea: It is interesting to see each parties reaction to 'the event'. while this is not a romantic story between the two, more convenience, it does change the dynamic only slightly.

Blondie 20000: Thanks for persevering. I know this isn't your favourite plot point and while most other fem!Dean has her pairing with chicks, i thought it would be a natural progression for Deans brain to head down that particular train of thought. You're welcome for the recommendation. Its a great story. :)

Vegas Granny: Blondie is an extremely talented writer. I love her stories.

Makanie: Welcome and thanks for the review. I hope you enjoy whats to come. x

***OKAY...there is a small repeat of the Dana/Caleb pairing in this chapter. Its descriptive but super short, just so you are warned! :)

CHAPTER 24

Ever the gentleman, Caleb let Dean shower first with an offer to join her that was only 12% joking. She was sitting at the table with a beer when Caleb exited the bathroom. He grabbed the extra beer Dean had placed on the table and sat opposite her.

"So, are you going to let me in on the big secret?" He asked after a few moments silence.

"Hmm?" Dean asked.

"Your big experiment? How sex feels for a woman? I mean that's what you wanted to know right?"

"Oh, right! Well it felt different." Dean said with a shrug. "Not quite what I was expecting, but it was okay."

"Just okay?"

"No, not 'just okay'." Dean reassured Caleb. "It was...nice."

"Nice, just what a fella wants to hear." Caleb mumbled. "But you did...you know, didn't you?"

"Mmm, no I don't think so." Dean replied.

"You don't think so?"

"No, well, I feel relaxed and calmer, content, but I didn't get the kaboom I get when I do it myself."

"I want a do over!" Caleb demanded.

"A do over? You can't demand a do over for sex!" Dean laughed.

"Yes I can and I just did!"

"Oh my god, just calm down. It's probably just because it was my first time like this and it hurt a bit. Stop stressing, no one is questioning your 'manly abilities'!" Dean couldn't help but to laugh at his friends distress. "Maybe if I do it again it will happen."

"Wait, you're planning on doing it again?"

"I don't know, maybe. If, and this is a big if, I get desperate enough and someone comes along who interests me, sure, why not?"

"We have already had this conversation. It's not a good move picking up randoms." Caleb said seriously.

"Yeah, so you said, but as I said, that's all we ever do."

"Dean." Caleb growled.

"Caleb." Dean growled back, mocking her friend. "I'm not even sure I will do it again but the one thing I'm not doing is repeating this conversation, so I'm going to bed. Goodnight." Dean finished the last of her beer and walked over to the other bed and crawled under the covers.

"Hey, that's my bed!" Caleb said.

"Maybe but this one is clean. I'm not sleeping in that filth." Dean said pointing to the bed they had thoroughly messed up earlier. Caleb sighed.

"Fine, I'll sleep in that one."

"Such a gentleman." Dean smiled.

"Shut up." Caleb threw back with no heat as he straightened the covers and crawled into bed. "Night Dean."

"Night Caleb."

•

Two days and one Banshee later, Dean was making her twice daily check-in call to Sam.

"Hey, how'd the hunt go?"

"One less fugly to worry about." Dean replied. "How're you?"

"I'm fine." Sam answered with an eye roll, he knew what was coming. It was the same twice a day.

"Headache?"

"Gone."

"Nausea?"

"None."

"Vision?"

"Clear."

Dean was quiet.

"You're researching, aren't you?" She asked.

"My vision and head are fine. Bobby checked me himself. Ask him if you don't believe me!" Sam snapped.

"That's okay, I believe you, besides, I already have." Dean said.

"Oh god! You've been checking up on me with Bobby?" Sam accused his sibling.

"Of course I have. You're my brother and it's my responsibility to keep you safe. Plus I know you'll lie to me." The older Winchester said. "Let me guess. You have six books around you and your laptop has at least eight browser pages open."

Dean heard Sam clear his throat and shuffle in his chair.

"Ha! I knew it! You are such a geek!" Dean laughed. "Anyway, I'm about a day out and I thought we'd swing by and I'd spring you from the bench and we can pick up the 'Great Supernatural Extermination Tour'."

"Is Caleb still with you?" Sam inquired.

Dean flicked her eyes over to where Caleb was sitting drinking coffee on his bed.

"Yep."

"Okay, well maybe you should continue with him. I think I might have found something and I want to follow it up." Sam told his brother.

"About the curse?" She asked.

"Yeah, it's not much. Just a tenuous tiny thread really but..."

"You just want to pull it and see where it leads?" Dean asked knowing her brothers dedication to research and to her.

"I can't promise it will lead anywhere Dean, but if there's a chance it will lead to something that will fix this I want to follow it to the end." Sam said softly.

"Thanks Sammy. Well Caleb and I have a couple more leads of our own to follow up but we should be back in about a week."

Sam and Dean spoke for another couple of minutes, just catching each other up on their days and Dean filling Sam in on the future hunts and their proposed movements around the country. Repeating her promise to be back at Bobby's in a week they said goodbye and hung up.

"So looks like we are stuck with each other for a bit longer." She told Caleb as she slid her phone into her pocket.

"What the runt too caught up in his dusty old books to join us?" He asked.

"Thinks he might be onto something and wants to check it out." Dean answered from the small kitchenette where she was pouring a coffee.

"Awesome. So it's just the two of us."

Dean turned and leaned against the counter watching as Caleb stood and slowly walked toward her. He reached around her to retrieve the coffee pot, putting his body very close to hers. Slip...

"Yeah." She said looking up into Caleb's eyes. Slide...

They stared at each other for a moment before Dean cleared her throat and stepped away from Caleb.

"So what beastie is next on our agenda?" She asked then raised her cup and took a drink. Not now, nope, not happening...she thought to herself.

•

"It's getting kinda late Sam, don't ya think you should probably call it a night and get some rest?" Bobby asked walking into his study to find Sam still working at the desk.

"Just five minutes more Bobby, I think I'm onto something." Sam said not looking up.

"Just five minutes more." Bobby huffed. "That's what you always said when you were younger. 'Just five more minutes', and damn if it didn't work then too."

Bobby sat opposite Sam grabbing a book.

"Okay, what are we looking at?" He asked.

•

Dean tried to fight it. She really, really did but the click eventually happened when they were celebrating the demise of a really nasty wraith. One minute they were sitting at a table eating a late dinner, having a few beers and the next thing Dean remembered was they were busting through the motel door, ripping and tearing at each other's clothing. When she woke the next morning she was wearing nothing but one of Caleb's T-shirt's and she had Caleb's arm wrapped around her with his boxer clad body pressed in behind. Dean lay there for a moment trying to recall the events of the previous night...

•

They set upon one another the moment the door closed behind them. Kissing and removing each other's clothing as they moved about the room. Caleb silently agreed with Deans previous comment when they had to try to remove their boots while trying to maintain the intimacy. Next thing she knew she was flat on the bed with Caleb working on giving her her first 'kaboom' orgasm of the night. She managed to get her scrambled brain cells working enough to roll them as he worked his way back up her body. She positioned herself to return the favour when Caleb stopped her.

"You don't have to do this." He said.

"I know." She breathed out.

She bit her lip as she looked at Caleb's erection in front of her. Looking up she could see the indecision on his face. The war raging between stopping her or letting her perform such an intimate act, which he, honestly, really wanted her to do. She smile and decided to make that decision for him and lowered her mouth over his swollen appendage. Never having done this before she just went with what she liked. After a few minutes Caleb started pulling away.

"You gotta stop." He said panting.

"What?" She asked worried as she sat back. "Was it bad?"

"No." Caleb sat up and pulled her in for a kiss. "Just don't want this over before it gets started."

Continuing to kiss her, Caleb pressed them back down while he blindly groped around on the bedside table for his wallet that he vaguely remembered throwing there.

Queue 'kaboom' orgasm number two!

•

Dean lay there a bit longer until her bladder began to make its self known. She tried to wriggle out from beneath Calebs arm only to be pulled in tighter against him.

"Stop moving." He mumbled into his pillow.

"Let go, I gotta go!" She said as she wriggled harder to get away.

Caleb whined sleepily but lifted his arm.

"Jeez, never figured you for a cuddler." She said, climbing from the bed.

"I'm not. Usually I'm trying to figure out a way to leave or get them out the door before their heartbeat has returned to normal but it's a bit hard when you're sharing a room with that someone."

"Well not my fault." Dean said. "There's another bed there, you could have moved."

She entered the bathroom and closed the door. When she exited Caleb was sitting against the bed head with the sheets pooled around his waist.

"You could have moved too you know." He said, continuing the conversation.

"Yeah right! My legs were jello, I wasn't going anywhere!"

"So you got your kaboom then?"

"Oh yeah, I got my kaboom!" She answered with a sultry smirk.
