Motel. Night.

Dean threw his bag on the bed in the room. He made a point of getting 2 rooms. He could hunt with Sam...but tonight he needed a break completely.

"I'm taking a shower. You should probably get some sleep." Dean told Bela. He walked towards the bathroom not bothering to grab his bag.

"Dean." She tried. He didn't say anything back, just kept walking. He couldn't talk about it right now. Dean shut the door behind him and turned the water on. However, Bela wasn't done, she couldn't just let him be, not this time.

Dean had stripped off his shirt and was leaning against the countertop when the door opened. Bela didn't say a word, just walked up to him and stood next to him.

"I don't want to talk." he said.

"You don't have to." she replied. Bela knew he needed this. He couldn't talk about Sam or Lucifer being topside, or even Bobby in the hospital bed paralyzed. He couldn't yell or hit something. So she knew what he could do was let out all his frustration and anger into whatever it was they had going on. She needed it too.

He looked over to her and she put her hand on his chest. He placed his hand over hers, and then slid it to her wrist and pulled her to him. He leaned in and touched his forehead against hers. Bela moved her head and placed a kiss on his lips softly, than on his jaw, and then his neck as he finally gave in and grabbed at the bottom of her long sleeve shirt. She pulled away from him long enough for Dean to remove it and then he pulled her back into him and kissed her. Tonight was much like their first night together. Quiet, letting their pain and emotions take the lead. Bela removed her hands from Dean's bare chest and down to play with the belt of his jeans. It seemed to take longer this time to remove it since their lips didn't part, but she finally managed, undoing the buckle and sliding the jeans down. Dean let go of her and their lips parted so they could breath, and he stepped out of the pants lying around his ankles. Dean stopped taking it slow at that moment. He quickly removed the rest of Bela's clothing and bra, sighing heavily as he realized she didn't have any underwear under the tight jeans of hers, and then he pushed her quick but gently to the edge of the tub. Once completely bare together Bela wrapped her arms back around his neck as Dean lifted her up and pushed the curtain over in one motion. She didn't even have time to blink before he had her against the shower wall, not bothering to move the curtain back.

llllllllllllllllll

They'd stayed in the shower together until the water turned icy enough to make them too cold to continue, granted they had plenty of time to meet their releases. Once Dean shut it off they'd stepped out and each wrapped a towel around them to dry a little. They still hardly spoke, not needing to. Dean finally leaned down and picked her up as he had years before in the museum, except she was standing before hand. He left the bathroom and sat her down on the bed where they continued what they'd started a few more times before tiring. Now Bela was curled up beside him, as they'd gotten way to comfortable with lately.

"Thank you."

She smiled and nodded.

"So what now?" she asked. They'd ignored the latest events as long as they could, but there needed to be some kind of plan.

"Wait for Bobby to get released, take him home. I guess Sam and I will hit the road for a while until we can figure out a way to fight Lucifer. I mean, I don't think we can kill him...but I guess we can try. We can drop you off at your place in Queens if you want."

"Well my car is at Bobby's, but what do you mean?"

"Lilith's dead you know...I know we failed to stop the last seal breaking, but you kept up your end. You did what you could. Thought you wanted to go separate from here on out? Go be normal?" Dean questioned.

"What is normal? I mean, I wanted it for so long, but now? The bloody devil is on Earth and the end is near, and all that, so I'm supposed to just go home and live like everyone else? Thing is, I can't really do that because I'm not like everyone else, they get to be blissfully unaware and I get to sit around knowing the world's ending."

"You said you weren't a hunter. This isn't the life you want is it?"

"Of course it isn't what I want, not really. But I was trained by a hunter, hell I would have been one too had Lilith not came in and interfered. So maybe this isn't what I wanted...but is it not what I should do?"

"You were? And should do? Since when do you give a damn about what you should do?"

"No idea. I mean, the life of a thief is exciting enough, but I guess now...there's that looming guilt if I know you and your brother are off fighting Lucifer and I could have helped."

"Oh please. Just admit it, you like me and would miss me too much."

She sighed. "I said that first part already, special friend and all, but the second part..." she trailed off.

"Uh huh. So, after all that about not falling for me and..." he started.

"No don't kid yourself I didn't go that far honey. I do not fall, and this is still not a relationship."

"Alright alright, fine you aren't falling for my sexy body and charm. Got it."

She rolled her eyes. "You're not that charming."

"But you didn't say I wasn't sexy."

"Hmm that would be difficult to say." she grinned. He laughed. It was the first laught she'd heard from him in a while, and she had to admit it she sort of liked that she'd made him do it.

"So what do you want?" Dean asked.

"Well, I can go home still because I could use the break and my own bed for once, but like before I will continue to research, help you boys out. Besides, I promised to look for the Colt did I not."

He looked over at her. "Yeah, guess you did. Okay, so we'll take Bobby back and you can go from there."

"You going to be okay? With Sam I mean."

"Guess so. Like I told him, we're gonna have to bury it. I can't deal with it right now. What I do know is that I'll be taking the lead, so he either listens and doesn't argue or I'm gonna drop his ass off somewhere and fly solo."

"You think you should be going out there alone when the angels want your body as a vessel and Lucifer probably wants you dead?"

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Sam knows what he did, so we can only hope he's willing to let me call the shots."

She nodded.

He kissed the to of her head as she relaxed into him, but she was shivering slightly. They'd been lying there a while without anything on. Dean pulled the covers up over them and pulled her closer.

"So, care to elaborate on how you almost became a hunter?" he asked.

She shrugged. "I came here when I was 16, they tried sending me through the child care system back in England, but it was almost as bad as my real family, not quite but enough for me to hate it. So I ran off and came over here. Started looking at every book I could find on demons, that last a few years. When I was 18 I changed my name, getting rid of the constant reminder of my father and my past, and then one day I met some guy who knew a lot about demons and how to kill them. He taught me everything I know, gave me all the information a hunter needed to know. I would have done it too, stayed with hunting...but Lilith found out."

"And considered it trying to weasel your way out?"

Bela nodded. "She had him killed in front of me by another demon. It wasn't like I was that close to the man, but it was a warning and I didn't take it lightly. Instead of fighting back harder I quit. I got rid of many of the items I had, and that's when I found out I could make money off of the supernatural items. Thing is, from my father I grew up learning that money was power, that you could buy anything. So that's when I decided to become a thief, and hoped to end up buying my freedom from Lilith eventually. And as you know, it didn't work. I can't take back anything, but I probably should have just kept hunting, kept fighting."

Dean nodded. "But would you be here now?"

"Good question...believe it or not, I sort of like where I am now." she smiled.

"So you wouldn't rather be selling stuff on the supernatural black market?" he teased. "Instead of being stuck with us and our lives of neverending drama?"

"Well see there's this guy, and the sex is sort of fantastic...so it doesn't really hurt that much to be stuck here."

He laughed again. "Don't I know it."

"Oh don't be so cocky."

He smirked. "Nice choice of words, but you know I have every right to be."

She rolled her eyes.

"Besides, your not so bad yourself you know." He said, partially teasing partially serious.

"I've heard that yes."

"And I'm the over confidant one? Geez woman."

"Dean, just go to sleep."

"Yes ma'm."

"Do not call me that., I'm not old...yet."

Dean ignored her, and just wrapped his arm around her more firmly and they both fell asleep not too long after shutting their eyes.

llllllllllllllllllllll

End Chapter.

*PS: I was going to go further with the shower scene...but I've never written any mature scenes at all so I just don't think I'd be any good at it, so hopefully this was good enough for you. If you do ever want me to write any smutty mature scenes I may try to put one together and post a rough cut version and see what you think. Thanks for reading, pls review! I'm so thankful for all the feedback!
