Baker's Girl Peeta MellarkXReader

A long soak

I really do need a rinse! I stink, I can smell myself without even moving.

Blurgh!

I walk towards the makeshift bathroom and get a tub ready to clean myself in.

Once it's full I begin to undress, "Y/N?" A familiar voice ask, "Are you in there?"

Oh God, It's Peeta.

It's been two whole days now and me and Peeta keep stealing kisses from each other.

Whenever our lips touch I get this electric volt all over me. My entire body gets set on this amazing fire of love. The way it burns feels so good, these kisses feel so good.

So good yet so bad...

My craving for his touch makes my body ache. I just want him to touch me, to hold me. I want to touch him. I want to feel his body in my hands, to feel his soft ashy hair, to hold his big muscular arms, to have his big strong hands in mine.

"Go away!" I can't do what he wants to do. It's just unfair and cruel to Gale and Katniss.

"I just need the toilet!" He shouts trying to sound innocent.

"Hold it," I just can't, "You're a big boy." God that sounds so wrong.

"Your big boy?" Peeta teases.

"No!" I declare, "Not now Peeta!"

I can hear him sulk of and I let out a sigh.

I'm not saying what we're doing is right but it's a lot better then what he wants. Well we both want it but that doesn't matter.

As much as I crave his soft touch, I can't allow myself to sleep with him. No matter how many problems it may solve.

I slip off my pants and knickers then I kick them to the door. Now no one can hear me. I cross my arms and pull up my shirt It pulls my hair up with it. It slightly tickles as I feel it land back down on my shoulders.

I step into the steamy hot water and let out a gasp. It feels so welcoming and safe. I swish my legs around listening to the soft splashing of the water...

I run down to the lake my arms in the air. I feel the breeze through my fingers. The sand between my toes makes them curl up.

I find a nice flat rock and sit on the top of the smooth stony surface. I place my arms behind and back and lean my head towards them.

"Peace at Last," I sigh closing my eyes.

The way the miniature waves crash against each other, the way the seagulls squawk, the way the wind whistles it all just makes me want to go to sleep.

"BOO!!" Peeta yells.

"Go away you fat dink!" I scream in anger.

"I just wanted some quality time with my favorite girl~" he says pushing himself up onto the rock next to me, "You're so pretty when you smile."

"Yeah whatever," I chuckle.

We just sit there for ages, him with his arm around me and me with my head on his shoulders. I feel so safe with him, so, so, so... Happy.

That was the day I fell in love with Peeta Mellark.

The top half of my body is now shaking due to the lack of clothing. I crouch down into the water checking the water still isn't to hot.

It's perfect.
