A/N: I am officialy dead. I can't feel my arms and legs, but I finally finished the chapter ! I'm sorry it took me a while, but I've been writing a new Kato story'The clock is still ticking' ( you can go check it out) plus my parents dragged me to Croatia to visit my grandparents where I didn't have internet for almost two days! I know, how did I survive ? Well, I befriended lots of bunnies my grandparents own and hopefully won't chop off :'( ...and a fast little turtle my dog keeps trying to eat...So, after a very interesting day I hope you enjoy and please REVIEW !:) Also I apologize for the sucky lemon scene since you have to experience it to know how to write it...and plus I wanted it to be less detailed since in this story I like them that way, but in the other one I'm writing, it's going to be a different Kato relationship and with it, a different love scene:)
Katniss POV:
I lift myself into a sitting position, my hands resting on my knees. Flipping my hair over my shoulder, I fix him with a seductive stare. There was a longing look in his eyes, mixed with many more emotions. Shock, happiness, lust...I slide out of bed and reach out for him. I raise my hand and let my fingers brush his flushed cheek. He leans into my touch and pulls me in with both of his hands. I rest my head in the crook of his neck, inhaling his mesmerizing scent. His hands are tangled in my hair and I can hear him mumble, but I can't make out the words.
''What was that?'' I slightly purr, placing kisses from his shoulder up to his neck, causing him to tighten his hold around my waist.
''Katniss,'' he whispers huskily, sending shivers up my spine,''Wake up!''
I pull away from his embrace, confusion written all over my face. The same voice calls out again, but the words aren't coming out of Cato's mouth. Soon, his face is fading away and I can no longer reach out for him. I find myself back at my room, the voice calling my name louder and louder.
''Katniss, sweetheart,'' the voice calls out again in desperation,''Wake up!''
My eyes snap wide open and stare directly into a pair of blue eyes that belonged to none other than Derek. I groan and raise myself up, still feeling a little sleepy. The dream felt so real, and I can't even remember falling asleep. The last thing I remember is eating dinner, and Prim dragging me upstairs to read her a bedtime story. I must have dozed off, and mum came back for Prim. Cato was absent during this whole period. I shift my gaze towards Derek, finally acknowledging his presence. Once he sees I won't be the one starting the conversation, he opens his mouth to speak.
''I'm sorry to wake you, Katniss,'' Derek says, a sense of true honesty in his voice,''It is two o'clock in the afternoon.'' My head immediately snaps towards my bedside clock, and I can see he definitely isn't lying. Was I really this tired? If he didn't wake me, I would still be sleeping soundly.
''Thanks for waking me up then,'' I slightly smile with my eyes half closed,''I had no idea I was this tired.''
''You had a rough week, it is perfectly normal,'' he chuckles while tapping me on the shoulder,''But this isn't the reason I have woken you up.'' He glances at his watch and turns back to me.''I have little time so I'll be quick. As you know, your mother and I are going to a very important dinner today, and we might be running a little late. She is waiting for me at the hospital right now, so I'm in a hurry, but I didn't want to leave you alone since everyone ran out of the house this morning. If you need anything don't be shy to ask Bridget or Margaret. Prim is staying over at her friends house. Cato and Marvel should be home soon, but I wouldn't wait on them for lunch. So go downstairs and grab a snack, and we'll see each other tomorrow, okay?'' he gives me a smile and pecks me on the cheek.
''Okay,'' I mumble, since I feel like my throat is burning,''Thank you for taking care of me.'' He gives me a quick nod, and walks out of the door. My dream finds its way back into my mind, filling my thoughts. I finally remember yesterday's dinner when mum told me they'll be out of town. Adding my anger and need to make up with Cato onto that, it's no wonder I had that dream last night. I take Derek's advice and run downstairs for lunch. Since Bridget and Margaret were already expecting me, my lunch was served before me. Once again, my regards go to the chef. Half way through my rather enormous desert, my phone vibrated. My heart nearly stopped when I saw it was actually a message...from Cato.
''Get in the car!'' he orders me around. I scoff and hold my ground, my hands crossed over my chest. I got a message six hours ago requesting me to meet him in front of the house at eight o' clock, which I assumed was his way of apologizing and taking me out on a date. Since his arrogant side always wins his inner battle, he ends up being an ass.
''You truly outdone yourself,'' I sneer, moving closer,''Try asking nicely, and maybe I wouldn't be so repulsed by the idea of being with you.''
''Just get in the car, Katniss,'' his face barely an inch away from mine. A smirk finds its way onto his face, and he opens his mouth again. ''Besides, you've been preparing for this throughout the whole day. We wouldn't want your dress to go to a waste, would we?'' he grins, taking me by my hand
''Yeah? And who says it's for you?'' I shove him, a playful smirk lingering on my lips. He groans and opens the door for me, then walks away to his side of the car without uttering a word.
The ride is taking longer than I expected, since nor me nor him is starting a conversation. I uttered a few questions throughout the ride, like ''Were are you taking me?'' or ''Is that a police car following us?'', on which I receive a grunt in return. In the meantime, the sky is pouring with rain, doing absolutely nothing to enlighten our mood. Cato mumbles a few curse words under his breath, doing the best he can to see the road.
''Cato, watch out !'' I scream, noticing a car driving in the middle of the road, heading right towards us. Cato turns left and loses control of the wheel, ending up outside the road, going towards the forest. I scream my head off since we're heading right towards a tree. Before the impact, he manages to slow the car down and turn it around so that the damage isn't severe. We sit there in silence for a minute while trying to catch a breath, until Cato walks out of the car and in to the pouring rain. I see him wondering around hopelessly, trying to figure out in what place we landed. He gets back in to start the engine, but it's useless. I reach out for my mobile, but there is no reception.
''Looks like we're going to have to walk,'' he grimaces, walking out of the car again. Once my anger kicks in, I open the door with as much force as I can muster, dragging him by his jacket.
''Are you crazy?'' I yell,''It's pouring rain, and now I'm soaking wet thanks to you.''
''The road is not far,'' he shouts back,''We can make it.''
''Not in this rain!'' I snap, throwing my hands in the air dramatically,''Get in the car! The best thing we can do now is wait until it stops raining. Okay?''
''Fine!'' he snaps, dragging me into the car.
Once I'm inside I cry out in despair, since my dress is practically ruined and I'm dripping wet thanks to Cato. I glance at Cato, and he stared right back at me. We're going to catch a cold and possibly freeze to death, since I'm shivering.
''Are you cold?'' he asks, his voice filled with concern.
''No asshole, I'm just super excited,'' I roll my eyes, rubbing my hands together.
''Get your clothes off, you'll catch a cold,'' he says while taking his jacket and shirt off.
''And who's fault may that be?'' I snap, while avoiding his gaze. I shift uncomfortably in my seat since his shirtless and we are only a few inches apart. After thinking through whether I should take my clothes of or not, I decide to take my dress off since I don't want to lay in my bed for two weeks. I pull my knees towards my chest, half because of the warmth and because I feel this need to cover myself since I know he's staring at me.
''I can help you get warm,'' he smirks once he sees me shivering again.
''Oh yeah? And how's that?'' I groan, snapping my head in the other direction.
In a split second he is up from his seat and moving towards the back of the car, while nudging me to come.
''Well, are you coming?'' he purrs, tapping the seat next to him.
I chuckle and head towards him, but I trip and end up on him. A smirk plays on his lips when he pins me down onto the seat. My breathing quickens when his mouth places gentle kisses on my jaw line. I brought my mouth to his forcefully as I ran my nails up his back. I smile as he growls and returns my kiss with more force. I pull away from the kiss and trace his chest with my fingertips. His eyes glitter with need, and he pulls me into another hungry lip-bruising kiss. He pulls away and shoots me a look, as if asking for my permission. I nod and blush a dark shade of red when he undoes my bra. Once again, I have the need to cover myself and look away until he stops me.
''Trust me, you don't want to do that,'' he whispers, turning my head to look him in the eyes.
I suck in a breath when he works his way down my body. He places soft kisses up my thigh, while giving my breasts equal attention. I let out a low moan, while pulling on his hair which seems to arouse him even more. I wrap my hand tightly around his waist and attack his mouth, while rubbing myself against him. My heart is pounding fast and my body is trembling in anticipation. I whimper lightly when I feel his tongue enter my mouth. I trace my fingers down to his belt, while undoing his zipper. He slides his pants down off his hips, joining the rest of our clothes hanging on the wheel.
''Are you ready?'' he asks me after a while of heavy petting, his body shaking.
''Cato?,'' my lips quirk into a smile, noticing him trembling,''Are you nervous?''
''No!'' he snaps back almost instantly while blushing.
''Well, I am,'' I say truthfully,''I've never done this before.''
''Never?'' he shoots me a puzzled look, but his eyes flicker in happiness.
I pull him in for another kiss and encourage him to move on. He places himself in front of my entrance while I clutch onto him tightly and shut my eyes.
''Open you eyes,'' he demands,''It'll be okay I promise.''
He gently enters me, his blue eyes boring into me. A tear slides down my cheek when I feel a sharp pain, but Cato kisses it away. He moves his lips next to my ear and whispers sweet things to me until I adjust to his pace. After a while, the pain is replaced by pleasure. I moan in pleasure when he thrusts harder into me, our bodies moving in rhythm. He wraps my legs around his waist and quickens his pace until we both ride our climaxes and collapse in each others arms. He looked me in the eyes, his chest rising up and down.
''I love you,'' he breathed out, a small smile creeping onto his lips.
''I love you too,'' I pull him in for a kiss.
