I don't own The Hunger Games

Chapter 31

Peeta's POV

I watch as my beautiful mockingjay sleeps peacefully resting on my chest. I take this time to run my hand all over her body, not in an abusive way, but I just take my time to worship her perfect soft skin. I caress her bare thigh and hips, applying just a small amount of pressure not to wake her up. I spend a little more time on her waist and breast, which causes her to wiggle a little. How did I get so lucky? This girl is everything I ever wanted, what we did last night was everything I ever dreamed since I was 14 years old and got hit hard by puberty. I grew up sharing a room with 3 older brothers and they were not very discreet about their first "times", I would listen to them and try to learn as much as possible imagining how it would feel to do all that with Katniss. Now, it is all real, this moment is real, our lives are real and the most important, our love is real.

I lose track of time just enjoying my girl, when I finally start feeling sleepy I hug Katniss's naked body close to me and fall into a deep sleep, not haunted by nightmares or flashbacks.

It's early morning when I finally open my eyes, Katniss is still sleeping but she is not lying against my chest anymore. She probably kicked the blankets away from her and she is completely exposed lying on her back. I can't help it but stare at her bare body. I watch her perfect breasts and her erected nipples, her soft and flat stomach moving up and down as she breathes, the bones of her ribs sticking out a little reminding me of the times when she suffered so much that she would barely eat, but the most beautiful are her scars. They are not flaws on her skin, they are symbols and marks that tell a story, the story of the girl who volunteered to play a deadly game for her sister and leaded a rebellion that gave an entire nation the freedom they dreamed of. I didn't get the chance to see all of her last night since it was dark, but now I'm completely breathless. She is perfect for me, every single cell of her body, inside and out.

Katniss's POV

When I finally open my eyes the first two things I notice are the sunlight shining through the window and the cold breeze making my body shiver. It takes some time for my vision to clear and my eyes lock with a pair of ocean blue ones. Peeta is watching me like a hawk, I can see the lust in his eyes and a small smile appears on my lips until I notice that I'm completely bare on sunlight. I grab the blankets as fast as I can and cover myself including my head, I never felt so embarrassed in my life lying here in all my glory and Peeta staring at it. I know it seems insane since we just had sex last night, but it was dark and we were under the blankets, he couldn't see anything. A million thoughts run through my head at the same time, what did Peeta think of what he saw? Was he completely disgusted? Will he leave me now that he can see that I'm not what he expected? I feel tears sliding down my face, I'm so ashamed of my body, of my scars. I'm nothing of what a woman should look like, my body is covered in marks that the rebellion and the games left, my breasts are too small to be attractive to any man, I don't have female curves and I'm so underweight that some of my bones are sticking out making me look like a skeleton. No man would ever want something like this, especially Peeta who is so handsome and built.

"Katniss?" I hear Peeta whisper. He tries to pull the blankets but I hold them tight. "Baby, what's wrong?" "I'm afraid you are going to leave me because I'm not what you expected" I think to myself. We keep fighting over the blankets, he trying to pull them from me and I hold them over my head as tight as I can, but I don't have any power against Peeta's strength so it doesn't take long before I'm staring right into his azure eyes.

"Katniss? Love, what is wrong? are you crying? Oh, Katniss please tell me you don't regret what happened between us." I can see tears forming in his eyes. How could he think I regret it? it was probably the best night of my life, I just hope I will be able to feel that way again.

"No, I don't. Please, give me back the blankets." I whisper, my voice sounding small. my neck and the top of my breasts are uncovered and he can clearly see the scars left by the fire that took my little duck away from me. Thinking about Prim is like reopening a wound that was beginning to heal, with Peeta by my side and everything that has been happening I forgot to grieve over the greatest loss of my life, but the pain is still living inside of me and I don't think it will ever go away completely.

"I won't give you back anything if you don't tell me what is going on." I sigh, he won't give up if I don't give him an explanation.

"I just don't want you to see me, please. I can't take you looking at me and being disgusted." I say, tears streaming down my face when I'm done.

"Oh my...Katniss...how did you...How could you think that? disgusted? Words can't begin to describe how beautiful you are to me love. Every single part of your body is completely flawless for me." Peeta, the master of the words attacks again.

"Peeta look at me, my body is covered in scars, I'm way too skinny, I don't have the sexy curves women usually have and my breasts are too small..." I say, a little louder than I intended.

"Katniss listen to me.." Peeta says so powerfully that scares me making me jump a little. "Your scars are not a flaw, they tell your story, the story of the bravest girl I've ever known and how hard she fought for those who she loves and the ones she never met. You are not 'way too skinny' , you are perfect and we are working on getting you back to healthy after everything you went through. You have the sexiest body I've ever seen and I'm in heaven every time I look at it. and your breasts..." Peeta brings his hand up and start caressing one of my breasts, playing with my nipple. "They are perfect and I'm in love with them." Once his last word is out he attacks my lips, a kiss full of passion and lust. Every single word he said sounded so honest that I can't bring myself to doubt, I just hope he will think that way a bit longer.

"My perfect Katniss, I want to love you right now. Please let me show you how beautiful you are, let me make you feel good." A nod is all he gets before we get lost in our love. It's way easier this time because we are both already naked, so as Peeta positions himself on top of me, I pull the blankets on us. He takes his time kissing me, he starts with my neck and makes his trip south, by the time he reaches my erected nipples I'm already panting and so ready for him.

"Peeta...Please..." I'm so lost in the moment, all this pleasure is too much for me to handle. Peeta is making me feel so good and I want to reciprocate the favor, so I slowly place my hand on his member making both of us jump. He is so smooth and soft but at the same time he is rock hard, it's a phenomenon I will never understand. I'm not sure what to do next and Peeta seems to notice, so he places his hand on top of mine and starts moving them up and down, sort of what he did when he was inside of me yesterday. I start following his lead but being careful not to squeeze too hard since I've heard that man can be very sensible there.

"Oh Katniss...Baby that feels so good." He whispers as he lets go of my hand and brings his mouth to my breast. We are both moaning and panting so hard I'm scared we can be heard by Haymitch or anyone walking around outside. I forget my worries when I feel Peea's hand on my intimate place. He takes some time to caress my public hair before sticking his hand inside. He goes straight to the little bundle of nerves and inserts a finger inside of me. I almost flinch but catch myself, the pain was not expected, but it is not the same kind of pain I felt when Gale forced himself on me, it is soreness. Almost a good kind of pain.

"Peeta, Peeta, oh baby..." I whispers his name like he is my lifeline. "It feels so good, ohhhh..." he moans against my breast in response. Like we rehearsed it, we both let go of each other's parts and he positions himself on my wet entrance. I brace myself for the pain I know is coming, I should say something to Peeta but I don't want to ruin this moment like I ruined our first morning after our first love night. Peeta kisses me full on the lips one last time before she start to push into me, I try to keep my face blank and ignore the pain but it's impossible. Since Peeta looks into my eyes when he enters me he notices my change of expression easily.

"Are you okay? Katniss, what is wrong?" he asks, sounding worried.

"I'm fine baby, just go really slow okay? I'm a bit sore from last night, that's all." I say, I want this too bad to just stop.

"I'm so so sorry love. Do you want me to stop? we can wait a couple of days, I don't want to hur..." I cut him off with a kiss. "No Peeta, I want this. Please..." He looks at me like if to ask if I'm sure, I just nod. He kisses me while he enters me very slowly and gentle and before I know it the pain is gone and we are both enjoying ourselves.

"Oh my...Ahhhhh...Katniss, you feel so good. Oh baby, you are so tight and warm." he whispers against my lips. "Peeta l love...oh...so good." We moan against each other's lips. I can fee myself getting closer and closer when suddenly Peeta pulls out and flips us over. At first I'm afraid he is having a flashback but as I look down I can see his eyes are that perfect shade of blue I love so much.

"You are going to try this way okay? You on top, don't worry baby I'm going to help you." Wait, what? I'm completely exposed sitting on his erection, he has a clear view of my entire body in this position.

"But you are going to look at me..." I whisper, looking down. Peeta brings two finger up and lifts my face to look at him. "That's the plan. You are beautiful in my point of view and I would enjoy watching you so much...Please baby, if you hate it we can stop." I just nod. Peeta smiles and helps me to guide his member back to my entrance. Slowly I sit on him and the feeling is exquisite. He feels so much bigger and deeper this way, it's almost unbelievable.

"Ohhhhhh Peetaa...Baby is so deep this way.." I moan. I realize that I don't know what to do next so I look down at Peeta for help.

"Okay. I'm going to hold your hips and help you, just bounce up and down like you are riding a horse. It doesn't matter how fast you go, you control it baby." he says. I follow his instruction and use my legs to bounce on him, I'm sure it would be easier if I knew how to ride a horse, I only saw a horse once in my life and it was from far away. It is harder than I though to keep a rhythm, I keep losing balance and stopping. As he promised Peeta tries to help me and when I finally get used to it it's a bliss. I can feel his eyes on my bouncing breasts and it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable, it makes me feel sexy and desired. I bet he knew this position would make me feel so powerful and as always my Peeta was thinking about me. This position also makes it easy for Peeta to sneak a finger where we are connected and rub my clit, which brings me to two intense orgasms before he is close to his own. Right before Peeta comes I lean down and capture his lips with mine, just as I feel his hot seed fill me he turns to his side bringing me with him. He pulls out and we lie in there, staring at each other's souls.

"You don't know how much I love you Katniss. So so so much." he whispers.

"I love you more Peeta, so so so much. Always." We make out for a couple of minutes, just spending time with each other and laughing at our current situation. Peeta gets up sayng he is going to take a quick shower and make us some type of special breakfast. While he showers I take some times to think about all that just happened and what happened last night, both events bring a smile to my face. When he is done I get up to take my shower and Peeta goes downstairs. I just hope that everything will finally fall into place and we will finally get a chance to be happy. But I let myself dream too much, there are some unfinished business that we didn't know but were about to bring us more trouble and in consequence more suffering.

There you have it. Here comes the event we have all been waiting for... So I gotta think of a way to put all the ideas for Gale's punishment together, so it may take a little while. Please let me know as a review if I chose your idea and what your idea was because it's been some time and I don't remember (If I chose your idea I emailed you privately). I didn't have the guts to read this chapter to review (lol) so I'm sorry for grammar mistakes. Please let me know how I did and don't forget to review, they make my day. See you guys next time
