Chapter 6

"Falco...Falco!"

The avian jerked his head sideways to avoid the hand that was smacking his cheek. He opened his eyes, squinting at the light.

"What happened?"

"Ah..." He sat up, rubbing his neck and glancing around. He was on the bridge, on the floor where Katt had knocked him out. "I thought this looked like a comfortable place to nap. Really disappointed me."

Fox tilted his head with an expression of sheer sarcasm and disbelief. "Nice bruise."

"Well, this floor isn't very forgiving." The ace pilot stood up and walked down the hall.

"Looks like Katt won this round." Slippy said with a grin.

Fox shook his head. "This is why I didn't want a girl on the team."

Falco knocked on Katt's door. "Katt, open up!"

She came to the door. "Leave me alone."

"Katt, please let me in."

"You're a jerk."

"You knocked me out on the bridge floor. I'm completely humiliated! The whole team saw me there. You won. You beat me and embarrassed me. Now can I come in?"

She sighed heavily and opened the door. "What do you want?"

"You know, it's taken me forever to figure that out myself. And maybe in the long run, I have no idea what I want. But right now? Right now, I want you."

She blinked. "I'm not falling for that again."

"God damnit, Katt! I'm not fooling around this time."

"I don't believe you!" She threw the door closed, only to be blocked with Falco's steel boot.

"Believe this!" Falco shoved the door back open, pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Her claws dug into the skin on his waist and she pushed him away. "Stop! Stop messing with my head. It's not fair!"

He closed the door behind him and pulled her into a tender kiss. "I'm not. I'm not messing, Katt. I want you. I really do."

She slapped him, and he threw her face down onto her bed. In one swift motion, she grabbed a pillow, rolled to her back and hurled it into his face. He grabbed the pillow, slammed it down across her chest and arms, and straddled her waist.

"I'm not trying to hurt you, god damnit, knock it off!"

She slid out from beneath him using his legs as a tunnel and then twisted his arm to flip him onto the floor. He tripped her, causing her to fall on top of him. He grabbed her arms and held her down against his chest. "Stop it. You're turning me on."

"Well, you're making me frustrated!" She turned her head and bit into the flesh on his arm. He winced, but didn't let go.

Instead, he leaned down and nipped at her neck. Her jaw relaxed, and he pushed her off of him with a chuckle. "You drew blood."

She licked her lips with a grin. "So I did."

"You tease!" He grabbed her and lifted her body against the wall, kissing her passionately. When he set her down again, her vest was gone and her flight suit was unzipped. "That was fast."

She relaxed her arms and the suit slipped down to her hips. "Whoops..."

Falco dove for her chest, burying his face in her cleavage and undoing her bra from behind. She grabbed a handful of feathers on the back of his head and pulled roughly, forcing his face away from her.

"I didn't say you could have those yet."

He grinned, running his hands through his head feathers and then slipping out of his shirt. "Can I change your mind with a trade?"

She laughed. "Mine are so much more fun," she said, cupping her own breasts in her hands and squeezing them, "you're going to have to do better than that." He stepped forward with a hand out, and she slapped it away. "Much better than that."

"You can't tease me like that!"

She threw a roundhouse kick towards his face and he grabbed her leg, putting her foot to rest on his shoulder while holding her steady by the ankle. He unzipped her boot and took it off with a grin. She tried to jerk her leg away a few times, but he only held tighter. Using his grip as a stronghold, she shifted her entire weight onto her captive leg and pushed off the ground with the other. Once in the air, she struck Falco in the diaphragm with her still booted foot and launched off of him. He grabbed her tail and yanked as he flew back, drawing an angry yowl.

He coughed violently, doubled over from her kick. She unzipped his pants and pulled them towards his ankles. "Heh...just can't wait, can you?" He said hoarsely. He grabbed at her flight suit, tugging downwards. She slapped away his hands. "Fine, fine. At least I've got a nice view."

She shoved him to the floor. "Don't get too excited. Enjoy the view while it lasts. I still haven't made up my mind on whether or not I'm going to have sex with you."

His eyebrows raised and he grinned. "You're gonna have sex with me?"

She rolled her eyes. "That's all you heard, isn't it."

"Sorry, did you say anything else?"

She took off her flight suit and threw it at his face. He grunted as her boot struck him in the side of the head, and then fumbled with clearing his line of sight.

He let out a long whistle. "Nice thong."

She laughed. "Don't flatter yourself. I wear them for me, and me only."

"I never said ya didn't."

She sat on the far corner of her bed with a sigh, still trying to decide what she was going to do. "If you actually want me, you're gonna have to convince me it's actually a good idea."

He crawled up onto the bed behind her and began to softly rub her shoulders. "Is this convincing at all?" He whispered in her ear, and then trailed his mouth along the side of her neck.

A soft pur rose from her throat. "Convince me more..."

He bit down gently on the muscle that ran from her neck into her shoulder and cupped her breasts in his strong hands. Leaving his left hand there, he slid his right hand along her body and beneath her pink lace-edged thong. He worked her until she began to pant, and then he went about removing the thong. She reached for his underwear with her claws out and sliced it off.

"Damnit! I like these underwear."

"Don't get your feathers in a blanket. I'll buy you new ones." She leaned back and pulled him on top of her. "But only if you do a good job."

"I'm a bit out of practice... but I'll see what I can do."
