23. Lovers – 211 – Kitty/Lance
It's easy to get lost in her arms. Her hair is soft against my cheek, her lips softer against mine as we kiss, wrapped up in each other on her bed. I considered sneaking into the mansion to do this, to kiss Kitty awake, but having finally decided to join the X-men I didn't need to sneak around anymore, or at least not much.
Kitty seemed sort of surprised when her eyes opened and saw it was me, but it made my heart skip funny when she closed her eyes again and started to kiss me back. The best part of all was when she whispered my name, mumbling it into my ear. I never thought my name could sound so good. I did know, just from looking at her curves, that Kitty would be soft to the touch as my fingers trailed along the skin uncovered between the waistband of her shorts and the bottom of her shirt.
We didn't go all the way that night, or even the next night or the night after that. It was hard, harder then anything I've ever done, but I went slowly, so slowly, taking a week just to remove her shirt, to get to the skin I'd been dreaming about for months.
