Chapter 17: All About Us

A few months went by and Kira was able to come back as the Kira they loved. To the girl Conner loved the most.

One day, Kira was swimming in Trent's pool when Conner came out. "Hey," he greeted. Kira sat up and looked at him.

"Hey what are you doing?" She asked.

"What? Can't I swim with you?" He asked.

"You don't know how to swim."

Conner grinned as he took off his shirt and walked to the deep end of the pool. Kira was in disbelief when she saw Conner dive into the pool. He came to the surface beside her with a grin. "You learned how to swim," she commented. Conner shrugged.

"I had to learn sometime," he answered.

Kira smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck when he got closer. Conner smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. He picked her up slightly and Kira wrapped her legs around his waist. Kira smiled and he pulled her into a kiss. Kira kissed him back and laughed when he pushed her up against the wall of the pool. Conner pulled back from the kiss and he caressed her neck with his lips. Kira tilted her head back and closed her eyes. Conner stopped slightly when he saw the scar on her collarbone. He traced the scar with his index finger before kissing it. "Well, things are heating up in here," a voice commented. They pulled apart and saw Ethan standing there.

"You know how to ruin a moment don't you?" Conner asked.

"Just a bit," Ethan replied.

Conner rolled his eyes and Kira climbed out of the pool. "Is there something wrong?" Kira asked.

"Nope, just came to see what you two were up to," he replied.

Conner got out of the pool too. "Kira, just once?" He asked. Kira smiled.

"I think you deserve it," she replied.

Conner chuckled as he pushed Ethan into the pool. The Blue Ranger resurfaced. "Dude, next time, don't bug us," Conner told him. Conner held Kira's hand and walked away. Trent came out with a laugh.

"I told you he was going to do that," he commented.

"Shut up."

Ethan splashed water at him.

Conner and Kira came back to her room. "Well, I'll let you off here," he commented. Kira grabbed Conner's hand before he could get far.

"I don't think so. You're not getting off that easily, Mr. McKnight," she answered.

Conner smiled and placed his arms on both sides of her so she had no way to get out. "So, where were we?" He asked. Kira smiled.

"I think we were right here," she replied.

She placed her hand on the back of his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. But then their morphers went off. They pulled back and Conner let out a frustrated sigh. "Damn," he muttered. Conner held his morpher up. "What's going on Dr. Oliver?" He asked.

"Nerak's sent his messenger back," Tommy replied.

"On it," Conner answered.

Conner looked at Kira. Kira nodded and she stood next to him. "GREEN HAWK RANGER!" He shouted.

"RED PANTHER RANGER!" She shouted.

They morphed and ran to the city.

The Rangers came and looked at the messenger Nerak had sent. "Well, Master Nerak wishes for you to return," the messenger laughed.

"Not happening," Kira snapped.

The messenger through a blast at Kira. "KIRA!" Conner shouted. Kira hit the ground and she held her stomach. "You okay?" He asked.

"I'm okay," she replied.

Conner stood up and glared at the monster. "HAWK STAFF!" He shouted. His staff appeared in his hands and he charged at the monster.

"CONNER DON'T!" Kira shouted.

Conner tried fighting the monster on his own. Kira stood up and ran towards him. "PANTHER DAGGERS!" She shouted. She jumped over the monster's head and helped Conner fight the monster.

"TIGER SABER!" Trent shouted.

"COYOTE LANCE!" Kitty shouted.

"ORCA WHALE SHIELD!" Ethan shouted.

They started fighting the monster together. However, Conner misjudged a move and he was hit in the stomach. He stumbled back and he held his stomach in pain. "Conner!" Kira gasped. She hurried over to him and kneeled by him. "Are you okay?" She asked.

"I think so," he replied.

The monster threw a final blast before disappearing once more. "Let's get him back," Ethan insisted. Kira nodded and they helped Conner off the ground and back to Trent's house.

(Trent's House)

That night, Conner was sleeping on his back when Kira came in. Kira bit her lip as she quietly snuck inside. She closed the door behind her. She bit her lip and she sat next to him on the bed. She stroked his bruised face. His eyes fluttered open, flashing the dark green like they always did for a brief second. "I can never get used to that," she commented. Conner looked over at her.

"What are you doing up? Are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine," she replied.

Conner saw the tears in her eyes. "No you're not. What's wrong?" He asked. Kira shook her head and Conner sat up slightly. "Hey, what is it?" He asked. Kira held his hand.

"I'm scared," she confessed.

"Of what?" He asked.

Kira swallowed the lump in her throat before looking at him. "What are you scared of?" He asked. Kira took a deep breath.

"I'm scared to lose you again," she replied.

"Kira…
"I lost you to him once."

Conner shook his head and he placed his hands on her face. "He can't beat us," he assured her. Kira shook her head and lowered her head. "Kira…" he murmured. She looked at him. "I love you," he added. Kira looked at him in disbelief.

"You love me?" She asked.

Conner nodded with a smile. "Yeah, more than anything," he replied. Kira smiled and she hugged him.

"I love you too," she answered.

Kira pulled back slightly and he kissed her deeply. Kira kissed him back and she scratched the back of his neck. Conner gently pushed her back against the bed. One of his hands left her waist and skimmed across her stomach and up to her chest. Conner sat up slightly and looped his fingers under the straps to her nightgown. Kira gasped him he gently nipped at her earlobe while he pulled the straps of her nightgown down. She arched against him when his hand went under the nightgown and spread her legs. Conner smiled when he heard her gasp underneath him. He caressed her neck with his lips, trailing kisses down her neck. He pulled the nightgown over her head and continued to kiss his way down her body. "Conner…" she half moaned, half sighed. She pulled him back up and she kissed him deeply. Conner kissed her back and ran his tongue along her bottom lip.

Kira arched against him before she turned him onto his back. She straddled his hips and smiled. "Like to be the one on top?" He teased. Kira laughed slightly and she leaned forward so her lips were close to his ear.

"Always," she replied.

Conner tilted his head back when she nibbled on his earlobe. She ground her hips into his, making him groan. Kira smiled and she kissed his throat and ran her hands down his chest and to his boxer shorts. Conner grabbed her hand with a chuckle and shifted so she ended up on her back. "Yeah, but I'd rather be on top," he murmured. Kira giggled and he kissed her again.

Conner caressed her thigh before pulling down her panties. Kira gasped into the kiss when he touched her there. She pulled back and she arched her back. "Conner…" she groaned. She grabbed the waistband of his boxers and pulled them off. Conner settled himself between her legs and he kissed her stomach and moved up. Kira kissed his shoulder and ran her hands up and down his back, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath her hands. Conner kissed her and entwined his fingers with hers. He kissed along her jaw line before looking into her face.

Kira's breathing was a bit labored, they were both sweating. "You know we can stop," he pointed out. Kira smiled and she shook her head.

"We've gone this far…why stop now?" She asked.

Conner nodded and with one swift thrust, they were still when he pushed himself into her. Kira bit her lip and let out a small moan. It was the greatest feeling she had ever felt in her whole life. Even though, now she wished Conner was her first. Conner started a steady pace and soon Kira was joining him. They were grinding against each other. Kira moaned his name every time he thrust into her. They were both close and they knew it. She closed her eyes and she tilted her head back, arching up against him again. "Conner!" She gasped when she went over the edge.

"Kira!" he answered.

Conner groaned and collapsed onto his arms so she didn't have to deal with his weight. They were both breathing heavily and Conner had his forehead pressed against hers. Conner rolled onto his back and Kira placed her head on his chest and held his hand. "I love you," she murmured. He kissed the top of her head and held her closer to him.

"I love you too," he answered.

In a matter of seconds, they were asleep.
