Ch.26

After Ron's tutoring was over, Shego had to admit Ron's learning ability surprised her. He was picking up information fast and making short work on the materials he had to go over. By Shego's estimate, in two month or less he'd be caught up with the subject. And if the same applies to the others, Shego knew Ron's intellect was about to start shining.

From his brief time as a villain, Shego concluded that for whatever reason Ron suppressed his performance in both the academic field and athletic one. 'Seriously, he augmented Dr. D's machine, made an original device, still had time to go through Drakken's stuff and find a way to track Kimmy's Kimmunicator frequency. What else could he had done if he remained evil...' with that thought going through her mind Shego shuddered. 'Ron had been demented and world domination would have been easy. The question is how much of the world would be left. Afterall, he mentioned he would have the world tremble at the power of his storm's.'

Shaking herself free from that line of thinking, Shego decided to test some things once everyone went to sleep. She was curious to see how Ron was pulling everyone into a shared dream and if she was totally honest, Shego still wanted some cake.

After Shego was sure everyone was asleep, she sneaked out of Ron's room and made her way downstairs. Seeing Ron asleep on the couch, Shego figured she might have to wait a while to see any signs if any where given, when Ron pulls people into a shared dream. After a while, Shego decided she might as well eat some cake as she waited and headed for the kitchen. Just as she was about to open the fridge, Shego noticed someone else out of the corner of her eye and spots Yori stopping by Ron in the livingroom once she turned around.

"Would you like some cake, Yori?" Shego whispers noticing that Yori was looking right at her.

After a moment of hesitation that was likely due to embarrassment, Yori answers just as softly. "Yes, please."

"Came to check how it happens?" Shego asks, guessing that Yori had the same thought as her.

Yori nodded in response and Shego turned around to bring out the cake. After getting two slices onto some plates and getting some forks, Shego asks Yori to help bring two chairs closer to Ron. With nothing else to do but wait, they started to enjoy their cakes. Moans slipping free as they passed the time and ate. Eventually, Shego and Yori noticed Ron gave off a barely noticeable blue glow, fading so quickly they doubted it till they confirmed with the other.

Seeing the phenomenon first hand, they confirmed that it was Ron at it's source. After a minute of silence, Shego asked Yori with a mischievous grin. "Want some more cake?"

Nodding, Yori silently followed Shego to the kitchen. By the time they finished enjoying themselves, the cake was no more.

~~~~~

Ron had another dream that night and beyond his control, the dream's mood was affected by Shego and Yori's soft moans.

Ron's dream started with him taking a walk on the beach. He found himself wondering if there was going to be guest like the last few days and briefly worried about what they might do. Afterall, just because they were in a pool together, Ron wouldn't normally allow himself to freely touch Shego and Yori's bodies. In his dreams Ron's finds his inhibitions and insecurities a nonfactor, Ron found it easier to express himself and follow his heart. A thing his guest seemed to share.

As he continued his walk and went over his thoughts, Ron saw a silhouette in the distance. It didn't take him long to identify her. Ron knew who it was and his heart felt a twinge of pain. He hated seeing her this way. Ron knew what was causing her pain but he didn't know if him taking action would help or cause her more pain. Still, she needed someone and Ron wasn't going to disappoint her.

As Ron drew closer, he saw the tell tale signs of her crying. She didn't notice his approach so Ron sat in the sand beside her. He briefly considered how to address her but discarded his usual greeting since the similarity with the cause of her pain.

"Beautiful beach, isn't it Ann?" Ron asked hoping to briefly distract her.

To his relief it worked. Ann was stunned and lifted her head to confirm who had spoken, likely surprised at how he addressed her. After Ann saw it was Ron she started trying to compose herself.

"There's no need." Ron told her softly and brought her into a hug. "Just let it out."

Ann started crying in full as Ron held her. Again, Ron's anger started rising but he remembered that it wasn't his time to be angry, Ann was suffering and needed some support. When Ann finally stopped crying, Ron didn't immediately let go off her. Instead deciding to ask what he already knew. "It's Mr. Dr. P, isn't it Ann?"

Ann stiffened but probably decided it was her dream and answered. "Yes."

Ron considered telling her now that they were sharing dream, but decided to wait till later, opting to let her talk about what she would normally keep to herself first. "If you want to talk about it, I'll listen." Ron offered.

As Ann hesitated, Ron put some more strength into his hug, hoping to convey that she was not alone and started to rub circles on her back to help keep her calm. After a while Ann began to speak. She spoke of the distance growing between her and Mr. Dr. P. How after she noticed it, she did everything she could to bring them closer. She increased her workout time, having it cut into her rest and sleep time to maintain her figure. Established date night, she even openly flirted with him hoping for some intimacy but the distance just kept growing. About how Mr. Dr. P started missing date nights and even stopped making it home from work from time to time.

As Ann spoke, she began to cry again. As Ron listened his anger mounted and he swore to himself not to follow in those footsteps. When Ann mentioned her attempts at intimacy Ron blushed profusely, his mind briefly wondering but quickly reigned it in, staying focused on Ann.

After a while of Ann not saying a word and just resting her head on Ron's shoulder, hugging him firmly, he assumed she fell asleep like the previous dream. Thinking briefly Ron began whispering about a certain night six to seven years ago, that under normal circumstances he would never say or even admit to it happening. Bringing Ann onto his slap slowly, so that she was more comfortable while noting her eyes were closed. Ron brought his lips to her ear and continued to whisper his memory to her. His words even and honest, Ron recounted that night with absolute detail, not ever forgetting what happened.

Ron didn't understand why he was speaking about that specific event but found himself unable to stop.

~~~~~

Unlike Ron had assumed, Ann had not fallen asleep. She was simply enjoying the moment and having someone to talk to again. As Ron whispered. "I'm going to tell you a secret."

After he began moving her gently and Ann closed her eyes, not sure if she wanted to be seen awake. Ron sat her on his lap, her face facing the ocean and brought his head onto her shoulder, his lips by her ear and continued to whisper. His words even and honest, completely steady as he spoke his heart out and after a few sentences, Ann started to blush. As Ron continued to whisper, Ann's blushed deepened for two reasons. His words and his manhood against her. Ann felt it even through their clothes, straining against her, prove his words were not empty and just meant to comfort her. As she listened to his words Ann's body responded, even as she struggled to come to terms that it was Ron and not her husband that was causing such reactions.

By the time her alarm clock started on Friday, Tara was aware she didn't sleep for a single second the night before. She was so anxious she started debating whether it was better to stay at home sick. She was looking for a way to explain to her parents, when her phone started ringing. Looking at the caller ID she saw it was Bonnie. She sighed into the phone. "Bonnie!"

"I'll be there in five." Was Bonnie's greeting. "Meet me at the door."

"I don't think I ca..." Tara began to speak before she noticed the line went dead. Sighing she got up to go answer the door, making sure to let her parents know that Bonnie was on her way over. And just like she said, five minutes later the doorbell rang. After opening the door the first thing that came to mind was asking why Bonnie had come over so early.

"I had a feeling you might start to freak out. I also left a note at home that I would be spending the night at a friend's, so if your parents give the okay, tomorrow I can help you get ready." Bonnie explained.

Tara teared up a bit. This was the Bonnie she knew, the one behind the 'Queen B' persona. "Thank you so much. I'm majorly freaking!" Tara admitted.

It took Bonnie nearly ten minutes to help Tara come down, get permission to spend the night and drag Tara over to the bedroom to start getting ready but even after all that she could not muster any appetite to eat breakfast. Making it to school was a blur and by the time lunch arrived Tara had second guess everything she was wearing to the hairstyle she choose. With Bonnie half dragging her to the Home Ec. room, Tara had no choice but to enter and see Ron.

After crossing the doorway Tara almost bolted. She first saw Ron totally in his element and completely at ease. Then she caught a whiff of what he was cooking and her body betrayed her by announcing it's hunger. With a massive blush, Tara hears Ron announce. "I hear you, food will be ready in five."

At his words everyone shared a laugh. Tara was holding Bonnie's hand as even she laughed. Tara was finally able to relax when Ron turned around and nearly dropped the food when he saw her, his expression the compliment she needed. The food was great and another pick me up for Tara, considering she didn't eat breakfast. After a while of chatting and having a good time it was time to get back to class.

The rest of the day couldn't end fast enough for Tara, she must have looked at the clock a thousand times that day. When the last bell of the day rang, Tara was dragging Bonnie out of the school. They were going to stop by Bonnie's before going over to her house and waiting for Ron. Of course, during the tutoring, it was just going to be Tara and Ron, Bonnie's idea for some alone time.

In other words, so Tara could close some of the distance between her and Ron.

As expected, some time later Ron sent a text he finished his detention and was on his way over. When Tara heard the doorbell she gave a quick hug to Bonnie and made her way downstairs.

It didn't take Ron more that one try to understand what Tara explained. And just like everyone who tutored Ron recently, Tara was shocked at how easily Ron was grasping everything. Still, Tara simply smiled and continued the session.

~~~~~

By this point it shouldn't be a surprise to Ron, but the smoothness that the tutoring was going had started making wonder why he failed to understand in the first place. Sadly, just as the thought crossed his mind, Tara spoke and he smoothly pushed it away. "So Ron, about tomorrow after tutoring. I was wondering if we could hang out afterwards?"

"Sure, what do you have in mind?" Ron asked.

"I'll take care of everything." Tara replied smiling widely.

"Okay, it's a date." Ron said half jokingly, half dreading Tara's reaction. Since Kim's reaction could only be called adversion.

"Great!" Was Tara's instant reply.
