Effie's pulled Katniss into a warm hug. Katniss squeezed her tightly, letting the tears stream down her cheeks. Katniss inhaled the woman's scent once more. She enjoyed how this felt. She loved the way Effie's body pressed against hers.
To Katniss's disappointment, Effie eventually broke the hug. She envied the moment they had a few seconds ago, wishing it could last forever. "How long have you felt this way?" Effie whispered resting her forehead against Katniss's.
"I wish I could answer that. But I don't really know. A few days ago, I would have told you that I just started feeling this way. But I think I've felt that way for a while. If I had to guess, I'd say that maybe they started when we were staying in District 13." Katniss replied, mentally scolding herself for confessing that much. Effie placed a soft hand upon Katniss's cheek.
Katniss touched the woman's hand savoring the touch. Katniss was enjoying the sweet moment they were sharing. But something had come across her mind. Why was Effie suddenly being this intimate toward her? The other day she had told her that they couldn't be together because they were from two different districts.
Surely society wouldn't be ready to accept that she and Katniss were involved with one another. Then another question crossed her mind. Katniss suddenly pulled away, getting a questionable look from Effie. "What is it dear?" Effie asked in her elegant Capitol accent. "What about Haymitch?" Katniss asked avoiding eye contact with the woman.
Effie let out a deep sigh. "Katniss please…." She began but was cut off by Katniss. "Oh my god! I just said that I love you! I thought that the least you'd do before coming here is to tell him about us!" Katniss cried feeling a sense of betrayal. "Katniss you don't understand…" she reached out touching Katniss's arm, but Katniss snatched away from her.
Her touch was so light, but still sent electricity through her body. Katniss shrugged this thought off remembering the situation they were in. "No, don't touch me! Why the hell did you come over here anyway? You knew how I felt about you. You were just leading me on for the whole time. You aren't going to end it with Haymitch. You came over here to watch me make a fool out of myself…for you!" Katniss shouted walking away from Effie.
Effie watched Katniss with deep devastation. "Katniss please just listen to me." Effie begged wrapping her arms around the girl's waist in desperation. Katniss found herself unable to shift out of the woman's touch. Not because of strength, but because she didn't want to move.
As much as she hated the woman for what she was doing to her heart, she couldn't find herself to move. "When you told me how you felt about me, I wasn't sure how to respond. I've never had a woman confess that to me before. But you're my friend Katniss. You've been there for me since the games." Effie said softly pressing her face into Katniss's back.
"When I kissed you I felt like I was kissing the girl of my dreams. I said I loved you, but you never said that you loved me back." Katniss replied fighting with everything in her not to turn around. "Katniss dear, you don't understand. I'm scared. Scared for—" Effie began but was cut off by Katniss snatching out of her arms and storming out of the door.
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. "Katniss, where are you going?" Effie cried as Katniss stormed off from the porch. Effie's pink convertible was parked in front of the house. It looked like something designed by Barbie herself. "To hell for all you care!" Katniss barked, slightly scaring the woman.
Thunder boomed above them. "I'm sorry! I'm afraid—" "AFRAID?! We're all afraid! You don't think I was scared when I started feeling this way for you? You don't think I was scared when I had to compete in the games!?" Rain showered out of the sky, completely drenching them.
"You don't think I was scared when—" Effie ran up to Katniss, silencing her with a kiss. Katniss's eyes widened in disbelief. Why was the woman kissing her again? This was starting to confuse her. Effie's lips tasted so sweet. Not too long ago had Katniss been kissing these lips, but it still felt like it had been too long. The kiss was deep and passionate.
Katniss wrapped her arms around her waist, savoring the sweet taste of vanilla. "I love you too." Effie whispered against the girl's lips. Katniss pulled away, looking into the woman's eyes with confusion. "What?" she asked, not believing the woman's words.
"I love you too." Effie repeated with a warm smile. The rain had smeared Effie's extravagant make up and flattened her wig. She still managed to look absolutely breath-taking. Katniss gazed at the woman, as though she were under a spell. "Can we go inside?" Effie asked.
Time Skip…
Katniss watched as the woman slipped out of her clothes. They fell against the floor as lightly as ever. The woman took off the drenched wig, letting her blonde hair fall down her back. Katniss slowly came up behind her, kissing her lightly on the neck. Effie shivered under the contact. Katniss ran her arms along the woman's body kissing her shoulders.
Effie turned around letting Katniss see more of her form. The woman's body looked as though it was carved by the gods themselves. Katniss felt as though she were looking at the woman for the first time. "You're so beautiful." Katniss said feeling as though she were in a dream. "Thank you dear." Effie said in a voice as smooth as silk.
Effie walked over toward Katniss gently removing the girl's clothing. Soon it was all on the floor and they were both admiring each other's forms. Katniss picked up the woman causing her to release a light giggle as they crashed against the bed. Seeing the woman beneath her made her crave her even more.
Katniss began kissing down her neck, causing a shiver to run down her spine. She could feel the woman's breathing pattern increase in speed, as her kisses became lower and lower. Katniss grabbed one of her breasts lightly pinching the woman's bright pink nipple. She placed a kiss upon the other breast teasing it with her tongue.
Effie elicited a moan, which drove Katniss wild. Katniss began to suck on the woman's nipple, getting another sound of pleasure from the woman. "Oh yes…yes..dear..oh good heavens please…go lower." Effie cried between heavy breaths.
Katniss obeyed, placing kisses down the woman's porcelain stomach. She finally reached the woman's lower lips seeing that they were glistening from wetness. This encouraged Katniss to get right to work.
Katniss ran her tongue along the woman's clit. Effie let out another cry of pleasure. Katniss smiled to herself, beginning to pump her tongue in and out of the woman's opening. Effie pushed Katniss's face against her even more, encouraging her to go deeper.
The woman tasted like strawberries and other fruits. Katniss continued doing this until the woman had an orgasm. She lapped up the woman's juices, before moving back up to place a kiss on her lips. Effie smiled returning the kiss.
Rain pattered against the roof that sheltered the two lovers. Katniss felt as though she were in a secret fortress. "How was I?" Katniss asked. "You were brilliant." Effie whispered against her. Closing the distance between them, she brought her into another passionate kiss.
Their tongues fought for dominance. Katniss could feel the heat from the other woman's body. Effie crawled on top of her, straddling her. "What are you doing?" Katniss asked, liking where this was going. "Returning the favor, my dear." Effie whispered against her ear. Katniss felt chills run through her body.
She loved being pinned under the woman. She felt the woman grind against her, causing her to let out a cry of pleasure. The woman rocked against her sending a throbbing sensation to her core. Katniss wanted more. Being with her felt like ecstasy.
They made passionate love. Each girl had multiple orgasms. Katniss took note of how skillful Effie was with her tongue. When they were done, Effie laid her head against Katniss's chest. Katniss had the woman wrapped in a tight embrace. Effie whispered sweet words into Katniss's ear as the storm raged on outside.
It had been the best feeling Katniss had ever felt in her life. She felt as though she had found her affinity. Effie sat up crawling on top of her. Katniss raised an eye brow, assuming that she was ready for another round. Suddenly Katniss's bedroom door swung open followed by the sound of Peeta's voice.
"Hey Katniss how's your day bee…oh god!" Peeta said, shielding his eyes. "Oh dear!" Effie cried hiding under the covers. "Peeta! Don't you know how to knock?!" Katniss yelled, annoyed by the interruption. "Sorry sorry! I was just going to ask you if I can invite Gale and some of the guys over tonight?" He asked still shielding his eyes.
"Sure whatever! Just get out!" Katniss cried, throwing a pillow at him. "Sorry!" He shouted closing the door behind him. Once they were alone again Effie slithered up from the covers, moving back on top of Katniss. "So, I was wondering if you'd like to come over to my house tonight. I want to cook you something." She said making two fingers crawl up Katniss's arm to her lips. "You'd cook for me?" Katniss asked. "Of course dear, I'd be delighted to." Effie replied. A wave of excitement ran through Katniss's body. She had gotten the pleasure of making love to the woman of her dreams and now she was inviting her over to cook her a meal.
"What are you making?" Katniss asked.
"It's a surprise dear." Effie whispered placing a sweet kiss upon her lips. "Now please get dressed and pack some clothes." "Okay." Katniss said, climbing out of bed. She walked over toward her drawer, looking for clothes. She looked over toward the blonde wrapped in her bedsheets.
Effie truly looked like a goddess. Katniss remembered suddenly remembered something. "What about Haymitch?" she asked instantly regretting this question. Effie stared deep into her eyes curving her lips into an enchanting smile. "I will tell him that's over between us." Effie finally said.
Katniss's face brightened up at her words. But part of her felt guilty for causing them to break up.
