An: Thanks again for the comments everyone. Keep them coming please. And to clarify, this is a romance based story, it is meant to focus on Tommy and Kimberly but I hate plot-less romances so I added the evil Katherine plot line to further the story so it didn't dead pan.
Disclaimer: I do not own...
Chapter Four
Her fists were clenched as she strolled down the sidewalk towards her home. Eyes with fury shining brightly in them Katherine marched into her home and went straight to her bedroom. Slamming the door shut she was glad no one was home to bother her while she screamed in frustration. That fucking bitch was alive and getting better, that wasn't supposed to fucking happen! Turning to her backpack she brought out the ripped picture of Tommy and held it in her shaking hand, "This is not over...you always have to be the hero don't you..?" she slapped the photo down on the dresser and went for a shower, needing to cool down and think of her next plan.

Coming back into the garage Kimberly immediately felt her body swept into a nearly bone crushing hug by Jason. "I leave for a few months and you almost die. I am never leaving again." He told her as she was finally over her shock and hugged him back.
"I'm ok now Jason. I'm going to be just fine." She said, wondering who exactly she was trying to convince.
"Either way, the peace tour is done for us. We talked to Zordon, with this happening and the rangers being targeted in such a deadly manner we can't afford to lose our strengths.." Jason looked to the newer members of the team. "You will all remain rangers, but we will assist you in all ways unless you are battling in the zords." Jason held up his wrist to show the communicators that Trini, Zack and himself now wore once more. "I'm saying you're not strong enough, but we can't risk it."
Tommy agreed with a sharp nod as he put an arm around Kimberly, leading her towards the garage door. "I'm going to get Kimberly home to rest. I'll meet the rest of you at school tomorrow. Keep in touch and keep an eye on you know who."

"You don't have to stay with me Tommy..." Kimberly said as she was tucked into her bed and snuggled under the white comforter. She felt his body settle next to hers. She had called her mother in France and told her she had been too busy studying to call for the last little while which didn't surprise her mother. Now she was laying in bed with her boyfriend, his body spooned against hers under the sheets as they changed pajamas. Instead of taking her home to stay at Aisha's house Tommy had convinced his parents to let her stay with him for the next few weeks. Kimberly let on that she wasn't feeling well, and she missed her parents, on top of that the Oliver's knew she felt much more comfortable in their home.
"I know, but I just don't want to let you go..." his lips moved to her neck to lay gentle kisses.
Turning around she stole his lips and pulled him over her. Breaking the kiss, she knew she had to come clean with all that happened in that place. She was helpless, unable to move and barely able to speak while that monster kept her prisoner, but Kim was a fighter and a perfectionist and felt guilt that she couldn't have fought back harder against him. Tommy wasn't oblivious to the look on her face, and pulled back further to really take her in. Looking down at her he could see something in her eyes he had yet to notice. Desperation, need, sadness and guilt. "Kimberly...what's the matter?" Tommy wasn't a man to play with words, simple and direct was the only way to go.
"Tommy...the things that happened in that place...he didn't just want to drain my power." She took a deep but shaking breath, "He wanted to make me his...to steal me and keep me prisoner...He tr-.." she was getting choked up and Tommy couldn't help but grow worried.
"Kim...what did he do?"
"He tried to..." she whimpered and covered her face, "He tried to take me..." the words took a few minutes to sink in but when he caught on Tommy understood that the bastard hadn't tried to molest her just that one night when Tommy got there...he'd already been doing it before they could reach her.
"Kim did he..?"
"No...he didn't get the chance..."
He sighed in relief but he knew damage had been done to his beautiful girl. Looking to the door he made sure he had locked it before turning back to her and sitting up, straddling her waist and looking down at her, clad in a thin pink tank top and white pajama shorts with her hair tossed like a halo on the pillow. She would was perfect in every way to him, so precious to his heart. Tommy swore once again that Zed would never have her, never touch his angel again. Slowly he bent over and kissed her cheek, her neck, her shoulders, hands running over her side to creep under her shirt carefully. "Tommy...what are you-"
"Forget him, only know me. My touch, my kiss, my love. Not him Kimberly. Never again will he harm you..." he claimed her lips in passion, opening her lips to him as he drew her tongue into his mouth. His fingers intertwined with hers as she moaned deeply, giving into his idea. Zed had touched her, groped her but he had not taken her and she knew he never would so long as Tommy was there to protect her.
He was gentle and careful with his touches. It wasn't as if they hadn't had sex before, but this was different. She had been kidnapped, taken from his grasp and touched by that bastard. The possessive side of him roared to ripe out Zed's throat and make him die a slow and painful death, however now was not the time to focus on that, he needed to focus his attention completely on Kimberly.
His hands moved under her shirt, slowly inching it up higher until it slid over her head and was forgotten somewhere on the floor along with his own. Piece by piece their clothing slipped away until now could be found between them, skin to kin, nose to nose they stared at one another as Tommy kissed her brow. "I love you Kimberly Hart...never forget that..." he kissed down her neck. "I love your shoulders, and your neck..." he moved down, hands rubbing her sides, "Your chest..." his tongue flicked over her rosy peak before suckling sweetly. He moaned as he felt her nails run down his back, listening to her moans and gentle gasps was like hearing the sweetest music. Tommy was just glad his parents weren't home.
Moving up from her chest he whispered, "Your eyes, your hair, your skin, your voice...you lips..." he kissed her one last time. "Everything about you..."
"I love you too Tommy..."
They moved to lay flush to each other on the bed, Tommy's much large form laying over her but he knew how to situate it so they didn't hurt each other. The point was not to have sex, it was to be close, to love each other and let her know she was his. Besides, it's hard to have sex with your parents upstairs...Tommy's room was in the basement and his parents gave them plenty of privacy to do whatever they please (so long as they were safe) but he was always more comfortable at night when he knew they were two floors away sleeping or when they went out. His one hand moved through her light brown hair before settling at the base of her base and pulling into yet another kiss, sweeping her away from the memories of Zed's cruel touch.
