Ok so loads of little romance bits between the two couples but not M rated yet :-)
Dean and Jess followed Sam into the house and the smell coming from the kitchen had their mouths watering. Walking into the kitchen they saw Charley buzzing around chopping and cooking different things, Sam leaning against the wall watching her.
"She hasn't let you help has she?" Jess asked Sam, who shook his head.
"Would even let me peel the potatoes" he smiled, Bobby came into the kitchen then, smiling at seeing the four of them so happy.
"Well we can set the table. You two go shower..." Dean dragged Jessie out of the kitchen until Bobby shouted after them "...separately, we all want to eat this week"
"Buzz kill" Dean shouted down, but he gave Jess one last kiss before pushing her to the main bathroom while he used the one in his and Sam's room.
Twenty minutes later Dean caught Jess just as she was about to walk down stairs and pulled her into the small alcove on the landing. "Dean?..." she whispered
"Shush" he leaned down and let his lips lightly press against hers, he could feel her smile before she started to kiss him back. They kept it sweet and short, just small open mouthed kisses and hushed whispers.
"Get down here you two, dinner's ready" Charley laughed, Jessie pulled away from Dean giggling at his pout.
"Come on Charley cooked ... no way you should be pouting" she teased, Dean's face breaking into a huge smile as they walked down stairs hand in hand. Charley stopped dishing out the dinner and squeaked
"Finally!..." causing everyone to laugh.
Charley had made a huge roast beef dinner, with mash and vegetables plus a desert cooling in the fridge.
"Charley this looks amazing" Jessie breathed and pecked her on the check as a thank you.
After an amazing dinner and desert or chocolate mousse they small group went back out to the garage to see what Jess and Dean had been up to. Bobby looked on and nodded "Hmmm, isn't as bad as I thought.." he hummed
"I Know right..." Jess gazed adoringly at her bike making Sam and Charley giggling "What?..."
"You face Jess, you just look totally blissed out" Sam sniggers, Jess just sticks her tongue out at him making everyone laugh harder. Jess and Dean did a quick tidy up of the garage so it wasn't a complete mess after them using it.
"So..." Dean trailed off and quirked a brow at Jess
"Ye?..." Jess drawled
"How good are you on a motorcycle anyway?" Dean had been dying to ask but to be honest forgot after he was able to kiss her.
"I'm decent, and road worthy most of the time but...I did do a little more off road stuff" she smiled
"Off road like, mountain biking?" he asked slyly but he remembered Charley letting something slip about street racing
"Well more on the um...shadier side of things"
"Come on Jessie?..." he sighed knowing she was stalling
"Ok, ok. I did a little street racing in Dublin for a while, the trails were usually up mountain roads but ye I was good and my dad taught me a few tricks" she smiled again
"What kinda tricks?"
"Just a few tips on how to ride the bike better and slid stuff like that. I put my own flare on a few things. But I stopped when things started to go south. Drivers were using races as drop off points for stuff. I was only in it for the fun"
"Have to say, I'm kinda dying to see what you can do" Dean smirked and made no attempt to hide his leering at Jessie eyes flicking to the bike. She laughed.
"You rotten liar you're perving in your head about me on the bike or something aren't you?" poking his chest with her finger, he grabbed her hand and drew her into him, smirking again.
"Well it was you all decked out in leather actually"
"Ah...I see, to bad I have none of it with me" she teased and leaned in the rest of the way for a kiss. Dean pulled Jess into the circle of his arms both her hands resting on his chest, he savoured the taste of her, god she taste amazing, he nibbled at her bottom lip flicking his tongue over it to sooth the sting.
Jessie hummed pleasantly against his lips almost making his eyes roll back in his head, her little noise's of pleasure and the vibrations against is lips drove him crazy. Dean knew he was getting very turned on and had to pull back from her lips resting his forehead against hers, their breath had quickened mixing in the small space between them. Jessie slid her hands down his chest and around his waist, making his breath hitch again Dean moaned and leaned down to ravage her mouth again.
"We better go back inside" Jess breathed against his lips when they finally pulled away from each other again.
"Ok" Dean said and kissed her again softly this time.
"Come on" Jess started to pull him towards the house, detaching her arms from around his waist to take his hand but Dean just pulled her to his side a slung an arm over her shoulder and strolled back to the house a happy smile plastered on his face.
When they got back inside Bobby, Sam and Charley were all sitting in the living room watching an old horror film, Bobby on one of the single armchairs and Sam and Charley on the couch. Dean eyed the other single chair and before Jess could move toward the couch he tugged her over and pulled her down on his lap. She shot Bobby a quizzical look and he just smiled so she leaned back into Dean and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Nhaw..." Charley mock whispered, then squeaked turning into Sam to dodge a pillow Jess fired at her.
"Like you can say anything" Jess smirked
"That's different I don't think I ever seen you sit on a guys lap...ever" Charley stated smugly
Sam and Dean looked at Jess puzzled expressions on their faces, Dean feeling marginally happier hearing this news but still wondering why and asked
"Really?" Jess shifted uncomfortably on his lap with everyone staring at her, Charley smirking slightly.
"Really, really" she said, Sam just shrugged but Dean was fighting the caveman urge to fist pump at him being the only one she's done this with. Can't help but wonder what else I'll be her first of. She's the first I've felt this way about, even Cassie doesn't compare. Jess put her head back on Dean's shoulder he fixed himself so she was tucked under one arm, her legs draped over his with his cheek against her head. Charley couldn't help but smile at them, Sam nudged her so she would stop staring. Jessie's eyes started to droop while they all laughed at the horror on TV eventually she drifted off in Dean's arms.
Jessie's dream started with her waking up in the field same as always except the circle of benches and the two Goddesses waiting for her. She stood from the ground and walked over to them a small smile on her face. They both stood and greeted her with motherly kisses to her cheek.
Hello Child, you have a lovely glow about you Athena said slyly
Oh hush leave her be Athena, we'll get to that later Badb smiled and winked at Jessie making her blush.
"Hello to you too" Jess smiled, Badb reached for her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze, then pulled it forward to examine the bracelet.
I am so proud of you. You found it so quickly and may I say your skills at thievery were impressive
Oh yes I quite enjoyed you and your Charlene's method, very clever quipped Athena, Jessie bit her lip and frowned pulling her hand back to her chest and sitting on her bench, Badb and Athena looked at her concerned
What is the matter Child? Athena asked reaching forward again to place a comforting hand on Jessie's arm.
"When I put the bracelet on it hurt...I mean really hurt...and I thought I was going back, so did Charley" Jessie edged hesitantly "did you know it would hurt me?" both Goddesses shared a look of unease.
No Child, we did not know it would hurt you. But I suppose it does make sense, your magical essence is what was needed to revive the bracelet...
It must have drawn it straight from you, we should have known that would happen...
Jessie's shoulder's relaxed "It's alright I'm ok now but will it happen again when I touch the necklace?"
No...we will give you an incantation to say and prevent your essence from leaving your body unless you let it. It will not cause you pain, I swear it Athena was appalled at the idea of Jess having her essence sucked out of her like that, the pain must have been unbearable. Badb was no better inwardly berating herself for not think to prevent something like that from happening. Jess could see the distressed looks on both of their faces and felt a little better from it.
"Like I said I'm ok now, it just scared us at the time" she shrugged and tried to reassure them with a smile.
You really are a remarkable young woman, I knew you would be but meeting you just settles it she smiled, Badb clapped her hands together to grab their attention.
Alright, you have found the bracelet now you need the necklace and I am happy to say it will not involve the same methods as my bracelet did. Because we are going to show you where to find it, you'll have to dig.
Yes, I am delighted to say that it is still in its intended spot. It will have a small book with it which we can help you read. It will not be written in any language you know of
"Ok..." Jess replied "...where is it?" Athena swirled her hands around in front of the trio and a golden light shun until there was a picture inside. It showed a large oak tree, very old looking and surrounded by nothing but grass.
It is buried on the south side of the tree, fifteen feet from the centre of the tree. It will be a far distance down but no different than when you and your companions put a restless spirit down
Jessie nodded "Where is the tree?" Badb sat forward and whispered a series of numbers into Jessie's ear, she frowned slightly "Are those co-ordinates?"
Yes and do not speak them aloud in here. I am afraid there have been others looking into what myself and Athena have been doing and I do not want them to know where you are or will be. Do not worry you are safe as are your companions we are just being wary.
Athena shifted in her spot seeming excited all of a sudden
Now your glow, tell me is it that lovely blonde male, oh what am I saying of course it is. Are you happy?
Athena give the girl some privacy
Oh hush you want to know as much as I do they both turned excitedly to Jess, she found it hard not to laugh because they both looked like giddy school girls waiting for gossip.
"Well I don't know what we are officially..."
Oh wonderful, he is lovely and suits you well I think, Jessie frowned a little bit afraid suddenly.
"You two didn't ...I mean what's between me and Dean isn't because you two..."
Oh goodness no! We do not interfere in affairs of the heart or free will. What is between the two of you is only down to you and him. But having him there for you will stand to you in the future when the time come for you to act Jessie nodded again.
"And what is it I have to do?" she asked
You must have both relics before we can tell you or it will not work. I am sorry Child we are not keeping things from you on purpose only by necessity
Oh we will steam your essence from leaving you now, it is only a small incantation and no marking will appear
Both Goddesses lay their hands on Jessie's shoulders and spoke whispered word, a gold and purple light swirling around her and making her feel refreshed. Suddenly Athena gasped.
Oh for the love of Zeus...
Just then a tall, tanned and extremely good looking man appeared in the clearing Jessie was instantly on alert as was Badb, both of them standing tall and rigid. The man strolled arrogantly toward the three women and smile splitting his face and eyes roaming over Jessie's form his expression taking on an awed and hungry look. Athena practically stomped towards the man and stood in front of him hands on her hips.
Apollo! What are you doing here?! Athena was furious for him to be able to enter this dream was extremely inappropriate and meant he had tacked his magic onto her so he could follow
Sister dear what have you been up to? Who is that human, she has a fascinating glow about her? Athena knew that look in her brothers eyes he was about five seconds away from mentally staking a claim on Jessica, which would not bode well for him. Before Badb or Athena could say anything else Jessie exhaled an annoyed huff
"That's it. I've had enough of this glow business causing trouble, can either one of you I don't know hide it?" she pleaded with Athena and Badb completely ignoring Apollo he was exuding arrogance and that just annoyed Jessie even more. Badb smile comfortingly at Jessie and her and Athena went to reach for Jess, shaking their heads slowly.
I'm afraid not Child, the glow is you. And there is no way to hide it Badb smiled But it is a lovely glow she tried to reassure Jessie, who just nodded they all shot Apollo a narrowed eyed look.
"How was he able to get into my dream?" Athena feel in love with this girl all over again, it did not faze her in the least that another God had just walked into her life.
Oh now my dear beauty, why I am the manifestation of any woman's dreams surly that would account for my being here
Athena groaned and shook her head as Badb looked on angrily at this idiot who felt it alright to invade Jessica's dream uninvited. Apollo obviously thinking his legendary charm would win over the young human, he was very interested in getting to know her.
"I'm not just any woman and you certainly are not the man of my dreams. I don't want you here you weren't invited and to be honest it doesn't show much of a first impression for you to practically brake into another person's mind. Bad form really" Jess crossed her arms feeling slightly invaded with this man in her head. Badb and Athena looking at her proudly then turned their angry stares to him.
The Child is right. You had no right to invade her mind uninvited because you could not give your sister privacy
Apollo this is low even for you.
Oh come now, I have done no harm. My lady I beseech you, forgive me? Jessie's little rant had done nothing to deter Apollo's interest in her, if anything he was more intrigued a human woman had never spoke to him like that although he could tell this one had divine heritage. He amped up his charm and sent her a slanted smile expecting her to forgive him. Jessie arched a brown, placed her hands on her hips and glancing at Athena who gestured with her hand as if to say 'go ahead'
"I don't want you in my head, so no and out...now!" Jessie stated firmly. Apollo frowned realise that this little mortal was very serious, he began to feel angry
How dare you address me...
"Hold it right there, you barged into my dream uninvited. Athena was no happier about you being here than I was. And you asked for forgiveness...I answered no. So ..." Badb smiled proudly at Jess and stood at her side wrapping an arm around her waist, Athena walked in front of her brother again.
Could you not have kept to yourself Apollo? I allow you your secrets, I will have mine respected. You will not breath a word about her to anyone, if you do she will be in danger. Olympus only knows how much danger you could have put her in already
I meant no harm Sister, I worry for you and you have been going missing for sometimes days at a time... he sighed and ran a hand through his long hair I will tell no one of her or where you have been but can I not ...
No Apollo we cannot tell you, at least not yet Athena smiled kindly at him, he really did try to look after her not that she ever let him.
Badb nodded in agreement, Jess was still slightly pissed that a strange man God was just able to appear in her dream, Badb turned to reassure her.
Fear not Child your dreams will be safe from now on, we will take extra precaution
Apollo looked and Jessie again this time his stare more thoughtful, she is a beautiful mortal, strong willed and opinionated as well. He decided that he like her, but internally cringed at the horrible first impression he had made. He was used to women fawning over him, falling to their knees and willingly loving him.
I do apologies young mortal, I meant no intrusion and I will leave as you have asked...but if you ever have need of me you know my name to summon
Athena raised her brow curiously at her brother who was not usually so genuine to female mortals and so he disappeared with a flash of silver. Athena spoke a few quiet word of an incantation to ward Jessie dreams from anyone but her and Badb.
I am sorry Child, I did not realise he had followed. It will never happen again
Jessie nodded and sat with Athena and Badb back in their circle of benches Athena and Badb then told Jessie the incantation for the necklace before they shimmered and disappeared.
"Jessie?...Jess come on wake up?" Dean was lightly shaking her shoulders his heart rate had picked up as it had been a good fifteen minutes that they had started to try and wake Jessie, she had glowed purple and gold again in her sleep.
"Why isn't she waking up?" Charley was kneeling by Dean and Jess on the chair, Sam and Bobby hovering closely.
"I don't know..." Dean was really starting to panic now she had never been kept in her sleep before and always woke up on her own. Charley leaned over Dean to pat at Jessie's face, whispering to her gently, a slightly desperate edge to her voice. Sam crouched down behind Charley pulling her back into his chest, resting his chin on her shoulder to try and comfort her.
"Should we lie her down?" Bobby asked, Deans arms tighten around her and he shook his head adamantly
"No, I'll keep her here, she usually wakes up with a headache though so maybe..." Charley shifted to her feet and went to the kitchen returning with a glass of water and some pain killers. They waited anxiously for her to wake up, becoming more and more impatient as the minute wore on. Ten minutes later she started to stir, eye fluttering and shifting in Dean's lap, slowly coming becoming more alert, everyone breathes a sigh of relief.
"Jessie?..." Dean gently patted her cheek, trying to wake her quicker. She hummed and burrowed her head under his chin, mumbling incoherently causing everyone to laugh with relief.
"Jessie?..." Dean asked again, she moved enough to look at him then grimaced closing her eyes again, "Headache?" he asked, gesturing for Charley to give her the water and pain killers. Jessie took them gratefully, swallowing the tablets and downing the glass of water.
"Ugh.." she sat back enough to see everyone then frowned noticing them hovering around her, "What's wrong?"
"You glowed again, same as before purple and gold. But you wouldn't wake you when we tried to get you to, stayed like that for a good thirty minutes, had us worried sick" Charley breathed
"Oh...that's never happened before..."
"Did anything different happen...well I mean more so than usual?" Sam asked, Jessie's brow creased trying to clear her head from the headache, Dean threading his fingers through hers in comfort.
"Em...ye actually. Another God, but he wasn't supposed to be there...he followed Athena, her brother..."
"Apollo?" Sam cut in, Jessie nodded.
"Ye he followed her magic or something, didn't cause too much trouble but he was an arrogant fucker. They did say that the pain from the bracelet was not something they knew would happen and they fixed it so it wouldn't happen with the necklace" Jess said
"Well that's a relief but why did it happen then?" Charley asked
"My magic essence is apparently needed to revive the artefacts and having it pulled out is painful so they stopped it and gave me the incantation to say when we get the necklace..." Jessie frowned again a flash a pain going through her head "...they gave me co-ordinates...to a tree it's where the necklace is buried..."
After spending the next few minute fretting over Jess they group grabbed a map and found out that the necklace was in the middle of a wild life refuge in Montana, about two days drive away if they stopped to sleep.
"So another God hijacked your dream" Sam stated handing Jessie a coffee, she made a pinched face
"Ye...he came off as a bit of an ass actually, but Athena said he was only worries about her...guess I can understand it..a little" Dean frowned and pursed his lips
"How was he an ass?" he asked
"Kept hitting on me...and basically expecting me to fawn all over him" Dean stiffened in his seat next to Jessie, she looked at him oddly "I told him off Hotstuff...told him that the man in my dreams position was already taken too..." she smirked and leaned over to kiss him quickly, he relaxed again
"Good, I get your irresistible and all that but I'm not sharing" he teased Jessie smirked back at him.
"I'm irresistible?" she asked, Charley and Sam sniggering at Dean's embarrassed expression. Dean narrowed his eyes at her, "Shut up" he ruffled her hair.
"Alright love birds" Bobby interrupted "so when are you going to go get this necklace, do you need a day Jess?"
"No Bobby, I'll be fine, honest. My head feels fine now" Jess smiled, Charley narrowed her eyes at her, "I swear it fine, headaches gone already" Jess beseeched
"Ok then, we could start that way tomorrow, it's already after 12 tonight so no point going now" Sam said
"You lot will be passing the Roadhouse, I need ye to pass something on to Ellen for me"
Dean smirked "Oh and what's that?" Bobby scowled at Dean and reached for a brown bag
"It's a dagger ye Igit, someone she knows was looken for one to kill a water nymph"
"Right.." Dean trailed off
"Well I don't know about any ones else but I'm beat..." Jess sighed and stood from the table, Charley stood up as well, she grabbed Sam's hand and tugged him towards the stairs "We'll take up stairs you two take down" she smiled cheekily, as she was walking by Bobby she pecked him on the check "Night Bobby" who smiled slightly, then looked on as Sam and Charley strolled upstairs.
As Dean stood he laced his fingers with Jessie and started to walk to bed. "See ye in the am Bobby" Dean said, Jess let go of Dean for a second and bid Bobby goodnight the same way Charley did, with a kiss to the check. Bobby watched fondly as the two walked to the downstairs bedroom, he couldn't help but feel happy for his two boys. This life was hard enough as it was but having someone there for you like that was better than anyone could ask for, not to mention how close the four of them were together.
Charley stretched out in the bed, cuddling down into the covers while Sam finished in the bathroom, she was so happy for Jess, I mean she was happy for both of them but Jess in particular. Charley had known her a long time and Jess didn't trust easy when it came to letting people care for her or love her for that matter.
Sam switched off the light and slide in behind Charley, wrapping an arm around her waist and spooning her back to his chest, she was so tiny that his long body practically swallowed her. He smiled as she snuggled back into him and turned her head a bit, Sam leaned down and gave her a slow kiss, tongue slowly tracing her bottom lip and delving into her mouth. Charley turned so she was on her back and Sam leaned over her there kiss still slow and tender. Hands tracing each other and breaths coming is shorter gasps as they both struggled for breath, eventually pulling away to rest his forehead to hers and breath, Sam couldn't help but stare at her. Her lips kiss swollen and red, her breathing deep, her pupils dilated, he really had to calm himself down, like now.
They hadn't slept together yet, not because either of them didn't want to it was more they didn't want to rush into it, they wanted it to happen whenever it happened. Although Sam had a feeling that right now if they weren't in Bobby's he wouldn't have pulled away. Charley basically saying the same thing in her head, she leaned up and pecked him on the lips again, even though she really wanted to keep going, they were in Bobby's and that just felt off.
Sam moved again so he was on his side and so was Charley, facing each other
"You doing ok Charley?" Sam asked, he just wanted to make sure she was ok after the scare with Jess.
"I'm good now Sam, was scared earlier though and I am a little still with all this crap about Jess and her magic. I don't want her to get hurt" Charley bit her lip apprehensively, Sam pulled her closer and kissed her forehead sweetly.
"I know Charley, it's scary but we'll figure it out. We always do. None of us will let Jess get hurt" Charley nodded then cuddled into Sam arms, both of them drifting off into a comfortable sleep.
Dean and Jess were cuddled in bed now as well, Jessie was still tired for the dream again so it didn't take long for her to fall asleep, her head pillowed on his chest. Not before they had kissed goodnight and Dean had checked again to make sure she was ok. He didn't like all of this, the way their fuck up was basically all on Jess to fix, he knew that none of them would let her to do anything on her own but it still felt like when ever all this came to a head it would be on Jess.
Dean shifted enough so he could look at her, he still found it hard to believe that she was his, that she even wanted to be with him with everything she knew about him. She was so strong, always protecting Charley and doing thing the big sister would do, he really felt like Jess would get it when he was on his big protect Sammy things, only now he was like that for Charley and Jessie too. Charley was a good match for Sam, she stops him being so broody and Jess well she was the one to get him to open up, and as reluctant as he was to admit it talking had helped because now he could see that despite everything he told her she still cared for him. He pulled her closer and closed his eyes happy to find that he was drifting off.
Athena:when she's speaking
Badb: when she's speaking
Apollo: when he's speaking
