Katniss
I couldn't believe this, I was letting the Bloody, Brutal Cato come up to my room, and stay with me for a little while, what was I thinking, this was wrong on so many levels, but I felt something when he kissed me something that, that I could grow to love...
We get into my room and I move to the top of the bed with my back on the back board and he sat in front of me, my heart skipped a beat, as I saw him finally relax, and his eyes softened, It occurred to me that maybe he wasn't lying that maybe he actually didn't want to do this, and that he wasn't bloody, or brutal he was someone that hated being there as much as I did.
"So spill it 2." I said teasingly, he turned to face me and sat Indian style.
"Well you see, back in two I have a little brother-Matthew, who I have basically taken care of since he was born. My father works all day and my mother passed away giving birth to Matthew. Well even with my father working we still don't have enough money to give us a meal every night, Not to mention pay for my grandma's surgery that if she doesn't get she'll die, So I thought Well I'm strong enough, I can win the games, and get the money to pay for the surgery and to be able to get all the food we need. So I volunteered. For my family..."
I couldn't believe it, he wasn't at all as mean as he comes across to be, no, he was gentle and the only reason he was here was so his grandmother lived.
"Oh Cato..." I leaned in and hugged him.
Cato
I told her everything, no taking it back now, I knew we shouldn't be doing this, and that we should be hating each other but I just feel drawn to her, and apparently she feels the same way.
Before I knew what was going on she says "Oh Cato..." and gives me the most sincere hug and I return it lightly pushing her back on the bed so I was on top of her.
"Katniss, I care about you, I know I just meet you, but I feel like I've known you my whole life-"
Before I could finish she kissed me, not only with passion but with hunger.
I need her, I felt...safe with her.
We broke away for air, and I started to kiss her neck, while leaving a trail of kisses I made my way to her collarbone. She moaned in please which started to get me excited But I wouldn't let that happen, not now it's to early, so instead I rolled off of her never breaking the kiss, but when it finally broke she asked me to stay with her that night, I agreed and she changed into a nightgown and I just stood there, until she said the last thing I was expecting.
"Just take off your pants, you can sleep in your boxers." She smiled and got into bed facing me, I started to strip and when I took my shirt off she gasped, I laughed a little and asked "What?"
"Nothing... You just are so...so beautiful."
I laughed and climbed into bed with her. That night she fell asleep in my arms, and I knew that when we would wake up tomorrow, that not only would we have questions to answer, but that I would wake up happy, happy because we would be intertwined in each others arms something that I was very much looking forward to waking up to.
