Velvet Hands

Totally repulsed by Toad's actions at the theater, Kitty refused Lance's offer that they go get something to eat.

For a while the couple just sat in his Jeep parked near the theater, each fuming at how their date at been spoiled.

"Do you want me to take you back to the school?"

At his sadly asked question, all of Kitty's anger at the hoods Lance hung out with evaporated.

"No," she answered, turning to look shyly up into his face. "Not yet."

He smiled hesitantly at her reassurance and lifted a hand to stroke her cheek.

"Do you trust me?"

"Like, totally."

He dropped a quick kiss on her nose then settled back to start the vehicle and put it into motion.

She was curious about what he had in mind, but truly meant it when she said she trusted him and just buckled up to enjoy the ride.

He raced the old Jeep up the hairpin curves of the mountain that led to a popular look out/make out spot where people could park and see all of Bayville spread out below.

Night had fallen over the town and various lights lit the area below them as the stars did above their heads.

It was beautiful and with a sigh Kitty sank into the arms Lance wrapped around her after bringing the vehicle to a stop near the edge of the bluff.

"This is perfect," she whispered against his chest.

Heaven, Lance thought of the situation as he tightened his arms around Kitty and she didn't hesitate to snuggle closer to him.

Maybe, just maybe, he'd managed to save their date from his friends' interference.

They sat there like that for many long peaceful moments before she broke the silence by speaking his name.

Frowning a little worriedly, he looked down into the eyes she'd tilted up toward his and asked "What?" even though he had a suspicion that he knew what she wanted.

"Would you…" she blushed slightly, "Would you kiss me again?"

With a slow nod of his head and a delighted curl of his lips Lance moved those last few inches to bring their mouths together.

She sighed as their lips touched and lifted her left hand to slide it into his shaggy brown hair.

For a long time both his hands remained curled under her shoulders to hold her up, but soon he needed more.

Kitty pulled her lips away to giggle when his right hand moved from her shoulder down her side, tickling her ribs.

He filed away the knowledge of that sensitive spot before continuing down to her hip to caress her pert little bottom.

As his lips claimed hers again the hand moved onto her stomach and up her covered chest until he was gently holding a breast in it.

She began moaning as his hand played with that soft mound of flesh and her other hand moved up to tangle in his hair.

Though he knew she wasn't ready for it yet, Kitty's response made him hungry for more.

There was no way he could resist parting her lips and demanding her tongue dance with his.

Nothing could keep his hand from going after better contact with the breast it still held.

She was so caught up in her first real kiss that Kitty didn't even realize he'd slid the strap of her dress down and had moved his hand under the loosened material to touch her bare flesh.

She had no idea until she felt his warm, rough fingers caressing her as no one else ever had.

Her mind screamed that she should protest his bold actions, but her body was loving this treatment.

It shook with delight and arched into his hand, encouraging him to continue.

With her continued moans and sighs, he grew bolder and perhaps a bit rougher.

His lips left hers to kiss their way down her neck, causing her to whimper at the freedom her own lips now had while moaning at the way his parted over the flesh of her throat to lightly suckle the skin.

That delightful hand of his left her flesh to glide down her covered body until it reached her pantyhose clad thighs.

The feel of his hand, even through the silky stockings, made Kitty shake with feelings she'd never felt before.

When his lips found her breast and his hand slid between her thighs, she knew she had to put a stop to things.

Slowly and with more reluctance than she'd like to admit, Kitty placed her left hand on the wrist of his right one and stopped his actions.

Her firm hold on his hand brought Lance's head up away from her body to see what was wrong.

It took a moment for the haze he'd sunk into to clear, but when it did he pulled his hand free to place it safely on her waist and then dropped his forehead to rest on her shoulder.

"Too fast?"

His breath tickled over her neck as he asked the question, making Kitty shiver as she nodded.

He raised his head to look into her eyes while he stroked her cheek.

"I didn't scare you or anything, though?"

Smiling and blushing, she shook her head no in answer to his question.

Lance smiled back and held her against him until their heartbeats returned to a normal rate.

Finally she moved away from him to sit up in her own seat, blushing a deep shade of red when the top of her dress drooped and reminded her of how he'd loosened it.

He felt ten-feet tall as she straightened her clothing, casting shy yet satisfied glances in his direction while she did so.

Clearing his throat he turned away for a moment to smile smugly at the knowledge that she'd enjoyed his caresses.

"You wanna grab something to eat or go back to the school?"

Kitty glanced at the clock on the radio and gasped at the time.

"School," she replied seeing how close they were getting to Logan's ridiculously early curfew.

~*~*~

They sat in silence outside the front gate after Lance brought his Jeep to a stop there at the institute.

Kitty fiddled with her tiny purse and he shifted nervously as he stared at the large mansion beyond that gate.

"Lance - "

"Kitty - "

They began to speak at the same time then fell silent again neither wanting to interrupt the other.

She was blushing and he turned in his seat to take her fidgeting hands in his.

"Kitty, will you see me again tomorrow?"

With a delighted little laugh she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips.

"Yes," she exclaimed between quick light kisses.

He smiled and pulled her close for a longer, deeper kiss before moving to hop out of the vehicle and walk around to her side.

She giggled when he opened her door and offered his hand up to her like a gentleman to assist her down from the Jeep.

"Should I walk you to the door?"

Kitty thought about it for a moment then shook her head.

"Better not. The security system may take you for an intruder as you're leaving."

"I can take this place's security, sweetheart," he said with a smirk.

Sweetheart.

She just about totally melted into a puddle at his feet for that endearment.

Somehow she managed to resist that urge while giving into the other one she had, which was to move into his arms for another kiss.

"I had, like, the best time tonight," she sighed as she leant back in his arms to gaze dreamily up into his face.

"Even with my friends crashing it?" he asked while bending to nuzzle his nose against hers.

"I'd forgotten all about that," Kitty confessed with a sincere smile.

For a moment they simple stood in each other's arms smiling and staring at each other.

Then a light came on outside the school, letting them know someone was watching and felt they'd had ample time to finish up their goodnights.

Groaning, Kitty had a sneaking suspicion that someone was Logan and, not wanting the big guy to come see what was taking so long, she gave Lance one last kiss before saying goodnight.

"See you tomorrow, Kitty," he promised as he let her slip from his arms to deactivate the security system and step through the gate.

While he climbed back into the Jeep and prepared to leave, she stood watching him on the other side of the fence.

Their eyes met through the windshield and they shared a secret smile before waving one last goodbye and going their separate ways.
