Chapter 65-The Room
Katniss awakes at 2 am. She wakes up because she's starving, her stomach growling. They didn't eat dinner, only snacking in between their sex sessions. She leans over and sees Gale sleeping soundly on his back. Not wanting to disturb him, she carefully and quietly slips out of the bed and goes over to her backpack. She takes out the sleep clothes she had packed and gets dressed. She then goes over to the small refrigerator and takes out some fruit and gets herself a glass of water. Once she fixes her plate she goes outside on the balcony and sits down and begins eating. The air is warm and breezy. She hears the ocean but sees only darkness. She begins thinking about what she and Gale had done earlier that afternoon and into the evening.
After they had gotten out of the shower, he guided her to the bed. Still naked, they are both dry though their hair is wet, he leans in and begins kissing her. The sliding door out to the balcony is open, blowing in the warm air. She opens her mouth letting his tongue slide in, their kisses getting more passionate as each second passes.
He gently pushes her down so that she is on her back as he gets on top of her. His mouth moves from her lips to her neck and she whimpers, longing for his kisses though she is enjoying the feel of his lips on her neck. He then moves from her neck to her breast, kissing it lightly before taking her hardened nipple in his mouth. She arches her back in response while he reaches down and begins stroking her clit. After a few moments he moves to the other breast, repeating the same movements. She feels his fingers become wet as he strokes her, his lips continuing to suck her breasts. She feels herself begin to climax, then suddenly he stops and pulls away from her, causing her to open her eyes and lift her head up. She's about to ask him why he stopped when he gets on his knees, grabbing her legs and pulling her towards him. She sees a look of pure lust on his face and he takes control and brings her legs up over his shoulders. He reaches down and inserts himself in her and begins thrusting, looking down at her. He sees she looks out of her element and says, "Are you okay?"
She blushes and says, "Yes, I just-never did it this way before."
"Do you like it?"
She nods still blushing as he continues his movements, feeling him go deeper. She likes this position, but is embarrassed that in some ways she is so inexperienced compared to him. With Peeta, they both had to learn together how to have sex, having been each other's first. They tended to stick to the same routine in the bedroom. She knows with Gale she was going to be exposed to different things, for he had definitely been with more than one woman and she's knows from gossip from the Slag Heap to what she heard at his apartment and now from personal experience, he knows have to have sex. And that he is very good at it.
She becomes self-conscious hoping she is a good enough sexual partner. She lets her thoughts distract her from what they are doing and she hears him say, "You don't look like you are liking it." He then stops, pulling out of her and looks at her with concern.
She wants to hide her face, but she is 26, not 16 anymore and instead she brings her legs down and sits up, facing him. "I just-can't help but feel, I am not good enough."
"Good enough?"
"In the bedroom I mean."
He looks at her gently and says, "Why would you say that?"
"Because you're only the second person I've been with."
"So?"
"So I am inexperienced compared to you."
He gives her look of disbelief and says, "Katniss, I love being with you. Have you not seen the way I look at you while we have sex?"
"Yeah" she says blushing again.
"I can't stop staring, because I need to make sure I am not dreaming. That you are really are mine."
"I am yours, always."
"I think you know for me to say I love you is an understatement right?"
"Yeah."
"Then you know you have nothing to worry about. So relax okay?"
She smiles, feeling more at ease. "Okay."
"Okay-do you want to try something different?"
"No! I liked what we were doing, really I did."
He leans forwards and begins kissing her. They begin touching each other and once they are both aroused, he leans her back down and raises her legs over his shoulders again and continues where they left off. He sees she is much more relaxed this time. He reaches down and begins stroking her breasts while moving in and out, his eyes never leaving hers. He sees the look on her face when she begins to orgasm, he speeds up the pace, beginning to climax himself. Once they are both finished he gently moves her legs back down, coming down on top of her and leaning up on his elbows. He strokes her damp hair out of her face and says, "Another reason I can't stop staring is because you are so beautiful."
She moves her head up and kisses him, her way of thanking him for the compliment.
They lay on the bed side by side wrapped in each other's arms. It is becoming increasing hot in the room but neither one wants to get up. He kisses her forehead as she is rubbing his back, feeling his scars. They lay there for quite a while, just holding each other while they begin to sweat from the heat.
They doze off for about an hour. She awakens first, still wrapped in his arms while laying on her side. She leans forward and begins kissing him, quickly waking him.
He smiles and says, "Hey beautiful."
"Hey" she says beaming.
He sees she has a look on her face, a look of desire. She suddenly removes herself from his arms and rolls him on his back. She bends down and begins kissing him, moving her kisses down his body while stroking him. Once he hardens, she moves down taking his member in her mouth. She hears him begin to moan as she moves her head up and down.
Once he feels himself begin to climax, he quickly taps her and says, "Katniss-stop-I'm" and suddenly he feels her get up startled when he suddenly begins ejaculating. He gets up and leans over the bed and grabs himself, helping to stop the onslaught while he finishes.
She comes up from behind him and kisses the scars on his back, wrapping her arms in front, touching his abdomen and chest.
After he cleans both of them up he comes back to the bed. He scoots her to the bottom of the bed and spreads her legs, touching her while he kneels on the floor. He then bends down and begins going down on her. He holds onto her waist as his tongue assaults her most sensitive area, her legs on his shoulders. She is moaning loudly, no longer feeling self-conscious in any way, shape, or form.
Before she comes he gets up and before she can protest, he stands up and scoops her up, placing her at the center of the bed. She gets on her hands and knees as he enters her from behind. Just like before, he is able to thrust deeply inside her. He reaches around and strokes her clit while quickly moving inside her. She is moaning so loudly she almost sounds as if she is pain. Gale grunting with each thrust.
Once they finish they decide to get in the tub. After they are done washing each other they pick up their bathing suits for they were still on the floor from earlier. They get dressed and Gale calls housekeeping to bring new sheets. They go down to the main lobby and get a snack while housekeeping is changing the sheets. Katniss says to Gale she wonders what the housekeeping staff thinks for it is only 4 pm.
Gale shrugs at her question and says, "This is a hotel, they know couples come here for this kind of stuff."
"What if they tell Ceasar?"
"Then I will file a complaint. They should be minding their own business" he says while taking a bite out of an apple.
They get a dessert to take upstairs, a chocolate and peanut butter pie and split it while eating on the balcony, taking turns feeding it to each other.
"This is soooo good" Katniss says as she puts a piece in Gale's mouth.
"I wish we could do this every day" he says. But he knows tomorrow they have to get back to reality. Katniss leaving early for District 9 in the morning.
They watch TV for a few hours on the bed. They know they should go out and get dinner but neither one wants to leave the comfort of the room.
"What time is your train?" he asks with his arm around her while they lean on the back headboard of the bed.
"It leaves at 8 am. I won't get to District 9 until Monday night and I start first thing Tuesday Morning."
"My train leaves at 9. We have to stop at your Mom's first right?"
"Yeah, to get my suitcases."
She sees a sad look form on his face, realizing they only have a few hours left together before they are apart again. They decide to make it count one last time.
She is holding on to the headboard while he is behind her. He is holding onto her hips while they move up and down. She is not facing him but then tilts her head to the side and brings his head down to kiss her. He then moves his hands from her hips to her breasts and begins squeezing them, eliciting a whimpering sound from her as she feels her nipples become erect under his fingers while he continues to kiss her, unable to stop.
Her entire body trembles as she orgasms, and she leans back on him unable to remain on her knees. She pants heavily as her breathing returns to normal.
He kisses her forehead as he picks her up and places them under the covers, totally spent. She lays on top of him as he strokes her hair. He looks at the dreamcatcher hanging above them on the bed post, not wanting the night to end.
After she is finished eating her snack she gets another glass of water then crawls back into bed, Gale still sleeping soundly.
They both wake up at 5:30 am. They shower individually and get ready and leave the hotel at 7 and head to her Mother's apartment. Her Mom is not home yet, but Katniss leaves a goodbye note and grabs two suitcases that were previously packed.
They get to the train station at 7:50. Once Katniss's suitcases have been checked and taken away they walk to the main gate, her train having already arrived.
"I'll call you when I get there" she says looking up at him, trying not to cry.
"Good luck. You'll do great. Let me know what your plans are during your one week break."
"I will."
He leans down and hugs her and says, "I love you, yesterday was incredible, don't ever question whether you are good enough for me ever again okay?"
She pulls back and smiles at him, looking at him with pure love in her eyes. "I love you too" and hugs him fiercely.
They both have tears in their eyes as she walks towards the train, she turns around and looks at him one last time before getting on, giving him one last wave and a smile.
