"He's The Best" This is an ATC/MM from season's 8 "The Way It Is."

Matt had just left the Long Branch, after inviting Kitty to dinner. Kitty was still trying to digest what had transpired just a few minutes ago. Matt had shot and killed a man that threatened to kill Matt and Kitty. But he wasn't just any man. He was a man who had taken a serious liking to Kitty. Kitty had to admit she did not feel the same way, and regretted ever getting involved with him.

Sam's voice broke Kitty's thoughts. "I'm sure glad he's back. He's an awful good man to have around, Miss Kitty." Sam had seen Kitty with Ad the last few days and it bothered him to say the least. He knew Ad was all wrong for Kitty.

"He's the best," said Kitty with a ghost of a smile on her face. Matt had just invited her to supper and she knew what usually followed supper.

Kitty ascended the steps to her private room. She and Matt usually ate supper together around six o'clock, so she had a couple of hours to get ready. Not that it would take her a couple of hours to get ready, but she wanted to make it extra special for Matt tonight. She wanted to show him how sorry she was and that he was the best.

The first thing she did was have her bathtub filled with hot water. Kitty didn't have the tub quite filled all the way. She knew it would cool down some while she and Matt were at Delmonico's, so she left some room to add some kettles of hot water to reheat it. Kitty planned on Matt and her getting in the tub and she would give him nothing but pleasure. She knew how much Matt enjoyed being in the bathtub with her. Kitty wasn't going to lie. She enjoyed being in the tub with Matt as much as he enjoyed being in the tub with her.

After having her tub filled with water, Kitty placed body oil on the nightstand, next to her bed. Once their bath was taken, Kitty planned to give Matt a full body massage. He might be the one getting the massage, but she would be able to have her hands all over his muscles, muscles he kept hidden under the longsleeve shirts he wore.

Bath and massage done, the final activity Kitty had planned to show Matt that he was the best was a night of lovemaking. As with the bathing together and the massage, she would benefit just as much as he would. She really didn't have to do anything to get the bed ready.

Kitty had just finished getting ready for her supper with Matt, when she heard the familiar sound of his boots coming up the stairs and then Matt's soft knock on her door. She sprayed a couple of spritz of Matt's favorite perfume behind her ears and went to answer the door.

The moment Matt and Kitty saw each other, their faces lit up with smiles. No matter how bad things can get, seeing one another could turn things around for the better. They were each other's refuge.

"Are you ready?" asked Matt.

"Yes," said Kitty as she grabbed her hat and put it on as they walked down the stairs.

Matt and Kitty were walking down the boardwalk of Front Street. When they passed a few of the uppity ladies of Dodge, one decided to make a snide remark about Kitty. She made sure it was loud enough for both Matt and Kitty to hear. "Look at that. Her man has to go away and she decides to give her time to another man. Now that her man is back, she has him kill that other man, just because he's now in the way."

Kitty felt Matt's body stiffen. She knew he was about to say something to defend her, but she urged him to keep walking. "Matt, I know you want to say something, but please don't."

""Kitty, you know I can't stand it when people put you down with rude and unnecessary remarks," Matt responded.

"I know and I love you for that, but they want a reaction. Don't give them the satisfaction of one," said Kitty.

Matt and Kitty continued their way to Delmonico's. They reached their destination, walked inside, and took a seat at their favorite table. After they were seated, the waiter came up to them to take their order. Both of them ordered a steak dinner. They ate their dinner while enjoying small talk.

"Well, I must say, that was a pretty good steak," said Matt as he wiped his mouth with his napkin.

"I agree. My steak was pretty good too," said Kitty. "Are you ready to go?"

"I am," said Matt as he tossed some money on the table to pay for their meals.

Outside and away from possible listening ears, Kitty spoke. "I have some plans for us tonight."

"I knew there was a reason I asked Chester to cover my rounds tonight," said Matt.

When they reached the Long Branch, they took the back steps to Kitty's room. Kitty pulled out her key and unlocked the door. After walking in, Kitty removed her shoes and Matt removed his boots. Matt also removed his hat, placing it on the hat hook, and his gun belt.

"The first thing on my list is some time in the tub for us. I have to go downstairs and get some hot water," said Kitty as she grabbed two tea kettles and went downstairs.

Matt already knew he was going to enjoy what Kitty had planned for tonight. He thought about removing his clothing while Kitty was gone, but then decided against it. He remembered her telling him one time that she thoroughly enjoyed watching him strip off his clothing. He knew exactly what she meant, because he got the same feeling watching her remove her clothing.

Kitty returned a short while later with the hot water. She poured the water into the tub, reheating the water that was in there. She noticed that Matt was still dressed and was pleased. That meant they would be able to watch each other get undressed. Matt and Kitty slowly got undressed, pleasing one another as they did so.

Clothes off, they stepped into the tub, with Matt settling himself behind Kitty. Both settled in the tub, Kitty took a bathing sponge and started washing Matt's arms and then moved down to his legs. Wanting to wash his torso and then his manhood, Kitty carefully turned around to face Matt. Kitty washed Matt's torso and then moved further down. Matt was definitely getting aroused and Kitty knew it. No words were needed as Matt took Kitty right there in the tub. He easily slid into her warm, slick opening. Once inside her, they began a lovemaking rhythm that only they could dance to. Matt could feel Kitty's muscles start to tighten around him. Her climax was all he needed as his climax brought forth his seed, spilling it inside of her.

Catching their breath, Kitty was the first one to find her voice. "Wow, that was absolutely wonderful. If you're ready to get out of the bathtub, I have more planned for us." Kitty stood up and stepped out of the tub.

"You've made me absolutely weak, but I think I can manage to get out," said Matt as he stood up and stepped out of the tub. Kitty grabbed two towels for them to dry off with.

"So far I'm enjoying what you have planned. What's next?" asked Matt.

"How does a massage sound?" asked Kitty with her sultry voice.

"Your hands all over me sounds like heaven," said Matt as he pulled Kitty towards him.

"In that case, go lay on the bed, on your stomach," said Kitty.

Matt did as he was told. Kitty took the oil off of her nightstand and put some drops in the palm of her hand. She rubbed her hands together and then joined Matt on bed, straddling him. She took her oiled hands and started massaging his shoulders, arms, and back. Knowing that Kitty was completely naked and feeling her hands all over him, Matt could feel himself getting hard.

"Woman, do you have any idea what you're doing to me right now?" Matt whispered.

"Yup and that's going to lead to my final plan," replied Kitty. "Roll over."

Matt did as he was told and Kitty stretched herself on top of him. Matt was fully aroused and slowly entered his lover. Once inside her, he slowly rolled them over, so he was on top. Now that he was on top, Matt began to grind himself against Kitty. Kitty matched every movement. After several moments, both reached their climax. Matt's member softened and he gently pulled out of Kitty. Matt rolled back onto his back. Kitty reached down to pull the blankets up on top of them and then settled in Matt's arms, resting her head on his broad chest. Both Matt and Kitty relaxed in the afterglow of their lovemaking.

"Matt, I just want you to know that nothing happened between Ad and me. You are the only man in my life, and you always will be. You are the best," said Kitty as she traced slow circles on his chest.

"That's only because I have you," said Matt as kissed the top of her head.

It wasn't long until both of them fell asleep, grateful for what they had with each other.

The End
