Under Your Skin

Chapter 3

"You explode inside of me. You explode my heart. I never had nothing anywhere so the end is where I start."

Day One

The next morning

Dean groaned when the harsh sunlight hit his face that seeped through the cheap motel curtains causing him to wake up. He blinked his eyes a few times trying to get them to focus on the clock that now read 9:00 am. 'Four hours of sleep, damn it.' He grumbled to himself rubbing his eyes with the heel of his hand.

Dean looked down at Lexi with the trace of a small smile on his face. He reached down brushing some of her blonde hair off her face, running his fingers lightly across her cheek. No one would ever accuse Dean of being a sentimental guy, but he had to admit he missed waking up next to her.

He sighed attempting to fall back asleep but it was no use he was wide awake. It didn't help matters either that Lexi kept shifting against him. She shivered her body pressed to his, Dean's libido now in full force once again. He wrapped his arms around her kissing and nibbling on her neck, "Lex, wake up."

"Hmm…Dean, no I'm tired." She mumbled sleepily, "Waking me up at 3 am for sex was enough. Stop kissing my neck…."

Tightening his grip, Dean smirked against her neck, "You didn't complain last night."

"Dean let me sleep….." she whined pulling away, "I can't think straight when you do that."

"I know." He chuckled brushing his lips against her ear lobe, "Come on, one more time before Sammy comes bursting through that door bitching."

Lexi rested her head on Dean's shoulder afterwards while he rubbed her back in small circles causing her to sigh from his touch. She stared intently out the window silently berating herself for sleeping with him for the third time in less than 24 hours.

'Why can he still make me turn to mush after all this time?' She wondered shutting her eyes attempting to make sense of everything that had happened over the past year.

After graduating from Tulane College, Lexi decided she needed to make some major changes in her life. The first change for her was the hardest thing she had ever had to do. She had to break it off with Dean. Tired of constantly being lied to and cheated on, she left him in New Orleans with the intention of never seeing him again.

She left New Orleans for New York City the next day, where she began her first term of Med. School at Columbia University. That's when the strange dreams about a yellow eyed man saying, 'I have big plans for you.' began. Lexi really thought she was loosing her mind in the beginning because along with the dreams came migraines and visions. However, it was the last vision that made her seek Dean out. It chilled her to the bone just thinking about it, even laying there in his arms she felt a cold chill run through her body. With the images from the vision now forever burned in her memory, she had convinced herself that she needed to tell him in person. Lexi just couldn't call and tell him of his impending death; it wasn't a conversation one should have on the phone.

The real truth was she really did want to see him. She missed him and as much as she didn't want to admit it no other guy measured up to him in her mind. Every date she had gone on in the past year she found herself comparing them to Dean. None of them ever came close. Lexi would never breathe a word of this to Dean. Despite this, it was not her intent to jump back into his bed. Deep down though, she knew it was inevitable.

He just had this way of making her crumble. It was what Lexi imagined drowning must feel like, being pulled under, loosing all control only to be swept away by some unseen force. That's exactly what happens every time she looks into his green eyes. She looses her equilibrium, everything else around her fades away and it's just her and Dean. She was so consumed in her thoughts that she was vaguely aware that he was speaking to her.

"What?"

"I asked you if you were hungry. Are you?"

"Um yeah…." She whispered gathering the sheet around her before getting out of bed turning to look at Dean, "What are we doing here?"

Dean raised his eyebrows shaking his head, "Getting breakfast."

"No Dean, you know what I mean, I'm talking about us."

"There is no us, Lex." He shrugged pulling on a pair of pants, "You said so yourself last night."

"Right." She whispered grabbing a change of clothes out of her bag heading to the bathroom, "I did say that."

Dean looked around the parking lot somewhat surprised not to see Sammy asleep in the Impala. He shrugged it off for the moment figuring maybe he went to get some food but just to make sure he pulled out his cell to call him while he waited for Lexi to come outside.

"Hey Sammy, it's me. Sorry about making you sleep in the car. Man, you won't believe what I did last night." Dean laughed picturing Sammy's face disgusted by hearing the details of his sexcapades, "Lexi's here, damn I forgot what a talented mouth she has. That girl can suck the bend out of a river. I'll tell you all the sordid details when I see you. Listen we're gonna get some food at the diner in town, met us there. Later."

"Where's Sam?" Lexi questioned walking over to the passenger side of the Impala confusion washing over her features.

"Don't know, left him a message to meet us at the diner." Dean stated as they both got into the car.

"You're not worried? This is Sam we're talking about and you have issues."

"Issues?" Dean grunted starting the car, "I don't have issues."

Lexi snorted trying to hold back her laughter, "Oh sure you don't Dean it's completely normal for a 27 year old man to have such an attachment to his younger brother."

Dean looked at Lexi simply shrugging his shoulders. He completely ignored her last statement, turning up the radio while singing along off key. It was his way of signaling the end of the conversation.

The Star Diner

Dean raised his eyebrows watching Lexi push her breakfast back and forth on her plate as he motioned with his fork, "What's the matter, Princess? Food not good enough for you?"

"Fuck you, Dean."

"We already did that an hour ago, babe." Dean winked at her with a self satisfied smile on his face.

Lexi narrowed her eyes at him her face turning crimson as she pushed away her plate, "Be quiet, jerk off."

"So this is gonna be our dirty little secret then? Hmm that's gonna make the sex so much hotter." Dean smirked leaning back against the booth using his eyebrows as punctuation.

"DEAN! Stop it, ok! Stop with all the innuendos, can't you just talk to me like a fucking normal person?"

"Okay, OKAY." He said throwing his hands up in mock defeat, "I'll stop. Hey you gonna eat that?"

"No, no go ahead. I……"

Lexi groaned her eyes shut tight. Her hands flew to her temples trying to stop the blind searing pain as the images coursed through her head. Dean looked up suddenly rushing out of the booth and kneeling by her side. She continued to moan eliciting stares from the other customers while Dean rubbed her arm,"Lexi, Lex……what did you see?"

She took a sharp intake of breath looking at Dean her voice shaky, "Sam….."

"What about him? Where is he?"

"I, I don't know exactly where he is. I saw him he's driving on an interstate…..I couldn't read the sign. I'm sorry, Dean."

"Come on let's go."

"Where Dean? I don't even know what direction he was going in."

"Well I just can't sit here damn it." Dean stated gruffly throwing some money on the table and stalking out of the diner leaving Lexi scrambling after him.

3 Hours Later

They had been driving west in silence for hours because that's the direction Dean wanted to go in. They had no real destination just hope that they would somehow find Sam. Every few minutes Lexi felt Dean's eyes on her as he glanced her way. It was as if he wanted to say something but he never did. It was really starting to annoy her.

Dean tried to keep his eyes on the road. He was attempting to concentrate but he wanted to ask Lexi if she remembered anything else from the vision. He decided against it once again besides she had told him at least 10 times already what she had seen. He couldn't help it though. He just had this thought running through his head that he was going to find Sammy dead in a ditch somewhere off of Route 70.

"Dean, you're not gonna find Sam dead off of Route 70." Lexi stated simply as she watched the scenery go by.

"Wh…What did you just say?"

Lexi turned looking at Dean slightly confused, "I was trying to reassure you that's all. I said that you're not gonna find Sam dead off of Route 70. I mean that's what you just said."

Dean pulled over slamming the car in park before turning and gapping at Lexi, "I didn't say that."

"Yes you did, I heard you."

"NO Lex, I thought it."

Lexi laughed softly thinking Dean was just messing with her, "NO I heard you say it."

"You're a god damn telepath." Dean said somewhat startled his eyes wide, "Why didn't you tell me."

"A what? I, Dean stop kidding around."

"I'm not kidding damn it. Listen, all the other kids like you and Sammy have some kind of extra kick to them besides the visions. And I'm stuck in a car with my EX and she can read my thoughts! Just fucking GREAT!" Dean chuckled slightly, "Yeah this is going to be fun. Just what I want, you in my head."

"You're nuts Dean. I can't read people's thoughts."

"Oh yeah?" Dean said nodding his head, "Ok tell me what I'm thinking right now. Go ahead try that nifty little power on me Obi wan."

Lexi sighed still thinking Dean was out of his damn head but she figured she might as well just humor him. She closed eyes concentrating on Dean when suddenly her eyes flew open. She stared at him in disbelief, smacking his arm, "You….I can't believe you! In a graveyard? At night? You want me to have sex with you in a graveyard?"

"Yup." He said his eyes lit up devilishly, "Nothing wrong with a little kink, Lex."

"Is that all you think about…..sex?"

"Yup that and my car." Dean nodded a small grin on his face before turning serious, "You stay out of my head, got it. Maybe there's something there in the journal to help you control it."

Lexi picked up the journal he had pointed to turning it over in her hands thoughtfully, "And this all has to do with the yellow eyed man?"

"Demon, Lex. That man's a demon."

"A demon?" she questioned her voice rising up a notch.

"Yeah, demon as in an evil being that can possess you; they like to kill too…a lot."

"Dean, you can't say demon like its nothing. I'm a little new at this whole demon hunting thingy, I'm likely to panic."

"Don't panic. I'm gonna send him straight back to hell." Dean said brushing his hand gently over hers before looking away changing the subject, "We gotta find Sam first though."

"I thought of you as everything I had that I couldn't keep."
