Gunsmoke: Never Wanna Live Without You

Part 13 Conclusion

After reluctantly letting each other go, Matt and Kitty sat down to their warm dinner. He didn't figure that Kitty could be completely recovered and he wanted her to make sure and eat.

"Matt, I told you," Kitty said gently, "I'm fine. My head doesn't hurt anymore. I don't feel dizzy," she tried to reassure him.

"I know," he said as he held her chair for her, "But I don't want to take any chances. You're precious to me," he said and leaned down to kiss her forehead. Kitty only smiled as she placed her napkin across her lap. If he wanted to fuss over her, she wasn't going to stop him. Matt pulled his chair around so that it was next to hers and pulled his plate to him. He'd had to go without her company for almost a half a year and he didn't want to waste one moment of their time together. "You know, Doc wouldn't talk to me the whole time you were gone," he told her as he poured them some coffee.

"Oh, Matt," Kitty said in disbelief.

"It's true," he said. He sat watching as she cut into her steak, occasionally taking a bite of his own food.

"Matt," Kitty laughed, "Are you gonna eat your food or are you just going to watch me eat mine?" she asked. Matt smiled and continued to stare. It was the first chance he had to really take her in since they ran into each other on the stage. He noticed that she had been styling her hair a bit differently. His eyes traveled down her body and she seemed to be even smaller than she already was, nothing a few good meals wouldn't fix.

"I missed you," he said softly. Kitty smiled adoringly and placed her hand on his cheek.

"I missed you, too," she told him. Matt caught her hand before she could move it and kissed her palm, then turned his attention back to his food. "What's with the bottle? You've never been much of a wine drinker," she questioned.

"I'm not. I got it for you," he said as he took a large bite of potatoes and a big chunk of steak into his mouth. He reached across the table and opened it for her.

"You should give it another try. I bet you'd like it."

"Nah, I had it once a long time ago and it tasted spoiled to me…like they used rotten grapes."

"Well, if it tasted rotten then it probably was," she said. "Here," she cut off a piece of her steak and held it out for him to eat. "Take that," he let her feed him, "And then take a small sip of wine after you swallow." Matt reluctantly brought the tiny glass to his mouth and did as he was told, surprised to find that it was quite delicious. "It's good, huh?" Kitty smiled as she took the glass from him and took a sip for herself.

"Yeah, it is. I guess I'll have to give wine another chance," he said.

"You just have to know how to drink it."

"And I suppose you learned about fine winery when you were in New Orleans, huh?" he asked smiling at her. It was so nice to be talking to her, simply having a light conversation.

"As a matter of fact I did. There was a woman I lived with after my mother died. She taught me all about it and lots of other things, too."

Later on that night, after they were both dressed and ready for bed, Matt came out of the washroom to find Kitty sitting at the table having another glass of wine. She had taken her hair down and she was wearing a pale pink gown with a matching robe. He was wearing his undershirt, but he still had on his trousers over his underpants. He looked down at her bare feet and smiled. He had missed them too. "Aren't your feet cold?"

"A little," she said as she sat her glass aside. Matt stooped down and picked one foot up to massage it. "That feels good," she said as she looked down at him with half lidded eyes.

"Sleepy?" he asked. She nodded. "Come on then. Let's go to bed." She allowed herself to be pulled up and over to the bed where he wrapped her into his arms. She placed her arms around his neck and looked into his eyes.

"Kiss me," she instructed simply. Matt wasted no time in complying. The kiss was slow and easy, neither of them feeling the need to rush. He pulled at her soft lips with own as his hands smoothed up and down her back. Kitty trailed kisses down to his chin and across his jaw. "How was your meeting today?" she asked as she continued her assault across his face.

"Long," Matt said before capturing her mouth again. He could taste the wine on her tongue and decided that it tasted even better that way. "How was your visit?" he asked in between kisses.

"Long," Kitty repeated with a giggle. Matt smiled and broke the kiss.

"Come on then. You need to lie down." He helped slide her robe off, exposing the pale skin of her shoulders. How was he going to lie next to her all night when she looked so luscious? He didn't know. He couldn't resist leaning down to plant a kiss on the freckled skin.

Kitty walked around to her side of the bed and climbed in, while Matt went to put more wood on the fire. Her eyes followed him as he walked over to blow out the lamp. Then walking back to the bed, he took off his pants and climbed in next to her. Kitty wasted no time in snuggling in close. "I love you," she told him as she closed her eyes.

Matt planted a kiss on the top of her head. "I love you, too, Kitty."

Kitty woke up just a few hours later from the heat of the room. She flexed her hand and opened her eyes to find that she was touching the firm skin of Matt's torso. He must have taken his shirt off sometime in the night, she thought. She could see the fine gleam of sweat on his chest and could tell by his even breathing that he was still asleep. Bringing her hand up, she slowly caressed the muscles of his chest and stomach. She couldn't believe that he was there with her. Their time apart seemed so surreal now. Her fingers played with the dusting of hair on his chest and then traveled to the line of hair running down his stomach.

Matt woke slowly to the pleasant feel of a smooth hand running across his chest. He opened his eyes and watched as Kitty's hand continued to create the wonderful sensations throughout his body. His hand tightened on her waist and he pulled her up until she was at his eye level. Her desire was evident. She leaned in and he was ready for her as he parted his lips to accept her warm, moist tongue.

Kitty pushed Matt onto his back and sat up to straddle him. He put his hands on her waist to hold her in place and looked into her eyes as she continued her massage of his chest. "Matt," she said softly, "I need to feel you next to me." He grabbed her hands and pulled her down until she was lying on top of him. He kissed her lips softly and felt the faint rocking of her hips against his stomach. He then rolled her over until she was beneath him, one of his legs resting in between hers.

They stayed that way for a long time exchanging long, slow, lazy kisses. Matt's hands rubbed along her hip and thigh and she could feel him pressing against her. "Kitty," he breathed as his hand snaked its way underneath the edge of her gown. "I want to see you." She pushed on his shoulders and he fell back onto the bed as she moved to straddle him again. Matt watched intently as she grabbed the edges of her gown and slowly pulled it up and over her head, revealing her lovely body to him. He reached out a hand to touch her face and then trailed the back of his fingers down to her neck, down between her full breasts and down her flat stomach, stopping just before he reached the soft patch of hair. "You're so beautiful," he told her with an ardor reserved only for her. Kitty leaned down to him and he closed his eyes at the feel of her breasts against his bare chest. She placed kisses along his neck and he felt her tongue teasing the underside of his chin.

"Now, I want to see you," she whispered into his ear before lightly nipping the lobe. Matt stood from the bed and there was no mistaking his plain arousal. Kitty kneeled on the bed in front of him and pushed his underwear down past his hips. Matt watched as she took in the sight of him with appreciative eyes, her fingers reaching out to touch his sensitive need. He placed his hands on her arms and gently eased her back onto the bed. Propping himself up on one arm, he looked down into her face and lovingly brushed a piece of hair from her eyes.

"I love you, Kitty" he told her. She put her arms around his neck and pulled him to her.

Matt took his sweet time exploring Kitty's body. He trailed his kisses from her mouth to her neck and down to her chest. He placed light kisses on the swell of one breast before taking the nipple into his warm mouth.

"Ohhh," Kitty moaned as she felt his moist tongue swirling and his lips suckling. He switched to her other breast where he showed the same delicious attention. "Matt, I need you," she whimpered as his kisses moved to her cleavage. She felt his hand moving along her stomach, his fingers playing gently in the downy hair between her legs. His touch went even further and she sucked in a breath as his long fingers slid gently between her slick flesh, massaging her most sensitive area.

Matt was in heaven at the feel of her. He moved his fingers tantalizingly slow over the soft area as he continued to love her breasts. The coarse hair of his face excited her as it brushed across her skin. He felt Kitty's hands moving across his back and shoulders and then slide down between them where she began caressing him. He couldn't stop his hips from lightly rocking at her touch. His fingers reluctantly left there haven in her warmth and trailed back up her body where he cupped her breast softly in his strong hand, his thumb brushing the hard nipple. Her hand left him and she wrapped her arms around his upper body. Matt moved until his hips were snug in between her legs and leaned down to take her mouth in a voracious kiss.

Kitty could feel him pressing against her middle and she writhed beneath him helplessly. "Matt…mmm…" she implored. She couldn't remember ever wanting a man so very much.

Matt pulled out of the kiss and looked into her eyes as he moved to slowly enter her body. He braced himself on his forearms as Kitty reached a hand down to help guide him inside. He rocked his hips oh-so-gently, letting her get used to the size of him and eased inside more and more at her urging. "Kitty," he whimpered tenderly and his eyes fell closed at the exquisite feel of her heat surrounding him. Her hands rubbed along his face and neck as he moved within her.

"Mmmm," she mewled softly. Matt opened his eyes to see her chest heaving and her mouth open. He forced his hips to stop and leaned down to run his tongue along her top lip. Kitty sucked it into her mouth and pulled him down so that more of his weight was resting against her.

They kissed and kissed with Matt only rocking his hips occasionally, teasing them both with the anticipation of the wonderful sensations to come. One of Kitty's legs was wrapped around him while the other moved restlessly along the tangled sheets and covers. Matt slowly increased his pace as her hands slid down to his firm behind, squeezing and kneading, urging him to go faster. He could feel her tightening around him. He lifted some and splayed his hand flat against her lower abdomen, his thumb moving in slow circles to satisfy her even further. He nearly exploded as he watched their bodies moving together. Waves of pleasure swept through both of them as Kitty gripped him even tighter. Their moans filled the room.

They lay together afterward; Matt still nestled inside of her. Kitty ran her hands lovingly through his hair and down his back, helping him to calm. They were both covered in a sheen of sweat.

"Matt," she whispered. He lifted his face from her neck and looked down at her. She pulled him in for a soft kiss. "Matt…that was…" She trailed off at a loss for words.

"I know," he said smiling down at her. He slowly moved his weight from her body, both of them shuddering at the loss of their physical connection. He moved to lie on his side, facing her, and pulled her in until her head was tucked under his chin. Neither said much, both still high from their loving. "I never want to live without you, Kitty," Matt said lovingly.

She placed light kisses on his chest. "You won't ever have to."

The sunshine was what woke them up later that morning. Hands immediately began to touch and caress. Lips kissed and lingered. "Matt," Kitty said in between kisses, "When are we going home?"

He rolled onto his back and pulled her on top of him. "Whenever you want," he answered. Kitty smiled into his mouth. The way she was feeling now, they could just stay in the hotel room forever.

"I told Gillian that I would have dinner with her today," she said, gasping softly as his hands came to her breasts. "I want you to come with me."

"Who's Gillian?" he asked, loving the weight of her small body on top of his.

"She's my friend." Kitty moved so that her hips were in position with his.

"Ohhh…okay," he groaned as she eased down onto him.

"Mmm…" she whimpered at the feel of his fullness inside of her. "Do you have any more meetings?" She bit her bottom lip as they found their rhythm. Her hips steadily moved faster and faster. "Matt," she cried as he pushed his hips up harder. He never did answer her question.

They finally pulled themselves from the bed around one that afternoon. "I can't even remember the last time I stayed in bed this long," Matt said as they dressed. "But then again, I never really had much incentive to." His eyes traveled down Kitty's body. She gave a husky laugh as she put the finishing touches on her hair.

Turning around, she saw that Matt had become lost in his thoughts. She walked over to the table where he was sitting and perched on his lap. He looked at her with a smile.

"Hey, what were you thinking about just then?" she asked. He pulled her in for a quick kiss.

"You know, Kitty," he began, "When we get back to Dodge, things might not be too different than they were before," he explained, troubled by the fact that his job was still a nuisance to any kind of personal life he had ever wanted.

She looked at him warmly and brought a hand up to smooth his brow. "Matt, I knew who you were and what you did from the very beginning of our friendship. I love all of you, including the lawman. You should never feel guilty for that." She rested her head against his. "Besides," she giggled, "there will be one difference."

"Oh, what's that?" he asked curious.

"Doc might talk to you now that I'm back."

The End.
