The motel was just beside a McDonald's, Ian had opposed but I went anyway and bought us some food after booking a room. Ian was still waiting in the car when I arrived, he always had that anxious expression when I was gone. His navy blue eyes pooped when he saw the McDonald's bag. Then I showed him the key of the room and opened the car's door.
- Ian, let's go, I want to take a shower and I am very hungry – I said so looking at him in the eye. My body was ashamed to the core but now this body had to be me and I was taking control over it.
- Sure, I'm hungry too. Thank you for the food hon. – He grabbed me by my waist and we walked calmly to our room. I could feel Ian was scared but it was so much better to not call attention on us
The room was simple and, contrary to many motels, it was quite cute. Everything was either black, white or silver. It was modern and the bathroom had a huge bathtub. It felt like ages had pass since I last took a real bath.
- Ian, I know I always shower last but… do you mind if I take a bath first? Look at that bathtub! We must use it! – As soon as I said it I regret it, even Ian blushed and we both burst into laughter.
- Sure Wanda, we should use that bathtub – He said so with a huge smile and came fast at me, he grabbed me and so easily pulled me off the floor. Then, while carrying me and laughing he opened the tap and took off his shoes. – I think these clothes are really dirty, don't you think so? – He was so happy, I nodded
- Really dirty – I took off my shoes and he put me on the bathtub, standing. That way we were almost the same height, looking each other in the eyes.
We kissed and this time I didn't compare it with Jared's kisses in Melanie's body because it was so much more breathtaking, loving and passionate. We melted into each other, his lips were… just delicious, I couldn't have enough. This body, my body, was finally reacting to my real feelings. The kiss was slow in the beginning, from time to time looking to each other, Ian caressing my cheek, I caressing his dark hair.
The water was still running and I could feel my socks getting wet. I had planned everything, I was going to take a bath and change myself to the sexy underwear I bought previously that day, but I would put my pajama on top of that. Ian would take a shower and meanwhile I would light up some candles and prepare a champagne bottle and two glasses I also bought. I was still shy, maybe it was this body, maybe it was me, but I would just leave the box of condoms on the bedside table. I wasn't completely sure it would happen today but now I was. Then Ian stopped, looked at the bathtub and back at me. I closed the tap and got back to kissing him but he was not the same.
- Is something wrong? – Ian shook his head and very seriously he started unbuttoning my shirt.
- Is this what you want? – He solemnly took off my shirt and then his. I realized I had seen him without his shirt many times but it was probably the first time he saw me shirtless. It was also the first time I noticed his birth mark, it was in a lighter tone than his skin, on his right shoulder, a little but over his chest and a little bit over his back. It made it look like he was wearing an armor.
- I want you Ian O'Shea, I love you. – We kissed again, slowly, trying to express every inch of our feelings to each other.
- I love you too Wanderer.
Ian was so sexy, it was the first time I saw him this way. He was strong and muscular, his dark hair was just another way to highlight his intense blue eyes. We moved from the bathtub to the bed while Ian undressed me. He was being very kind and gentle, he was going slow and asking me every few movements.
- Shh! everything is ok Ian. I want this. I want you. – I said firmly. After saying so I gave him the most passionate kiss I could and, as once happened to him before when I was in Mel's body and I was trying to revive her, his instincts were stronger than his thoughts and lava melted once more through my body.
My plan would probably never occur but this was what I expected from my plan and it was so much better than I could have imagined.
When I woke up I realized how hungry I was, we didn't have dinner last night and it was already very late, the sun was high, probably around 12pm. Ian was lying beside me, he looked as if he had been awake for a while. He was watching me with the tiniest smile. I had never seen that smile before.
- Good morning beautiful – his smile grew bigger and then I realized that the tiny smile had more feelings than this one. I smiled back, feeling completely rested, and I kissed him.
- Good morning, Ian. Isn't it too late? – I tried to stand up but Ian wouldn't let me
- When are we ever going to be as lucky as we have been now? We are probably never going on a raid on our own again… and anyway we'll have to return soon. Let's make the most of it, let's pretend this is just a trip, a safe trip with no human-soul war. Let's just love each other and forget. We'll start driving again at 14pm so that we reach the cave at night. How does that sound?
- It sounds wonderful… but, please I want to stop at one more supermarket, otherwise I would feel guilty… - Ian was as understanding as ever. He kissed me and the lava started again. Was it going to be this way always from now on? Not that I was going to complain but it was going to be hard to avoid this in the caves… - Let's stay in bed, I'm hungry – I said blushing.
