Beauty & The Beast (Book 1)

67. Insatiable

(A/N: Season 1 Episode 16 - "Insatiable")

Cat opened her eyes slowly, in an unknown bed. She lay there for a bit, remembering whose bed she was in.
And how they'd made love three times during the night.
She smiles and closes her eyes again, rolling around to look at Vincent. He isn't next to her when she opens them. She lifts her head, hand touching the spot he slept in, and then she sits up, wide awake. And worried.

Her eyes widen when she sees a mess on the floor. Clothes, shoes, bottles...
She frowns until she sees Vincent coming in from outside with a trash can and broom. She smiles. "You're here."

"Uh yeah," he grins, seeing she is awake. "Where else would I be?"

She sighs. "If you were like a lot of other guys out there? Miles from here," she chuckles.

"Come on," he scoffs. He puts down the can and broom and walks over to her, having picked up her shirt.
"No guy in his right mind would - "

Vincent stops talking when she wrinkles her nose. "I know how to pick 'em."

"Hey!" He hands her shirt over.

"Past tense," she smiles at him. He laughs and turns right back around. Cat frowns and laughs. "So, uhm, did we do...all of this?"

"Wasn't Muirfield," he jokes, puffing his cheeks out looking at the mess, crouched down on the floor.

"Right." Cat gets up from out of the bed, pulling on her pants. "Here, let me help."

"No it's fine," he says, standing to throw the bottles he picked up away.

"No it's okay," she smiles and comes over.

"Are you okay?" Vincent asks, walking closer to her.

"Yeah," she chuckles. "You?"

"I'm okay if you're okay."

"I'm great. I just...uh, I can't actually believe that we...did this." It was an awkward morning after conversation.

Vincent looks around him. "It's fine," he shrugs. "It's just stuff."

Cat laughs and shakes her head. "No. No, I meant uhm, that we - " she gestures between them. "You know?"

Vincent grins. "Oh. Yeah."

"And I'm only saying it because I wasn't sure if we could but - "

"We can." He nods, eyebrows lifting once. I'm not an actual animal or an alien...the parts still fit...

"Yes. We can."

Vincent stares at her. She was very cute like this. He wanted to kiss her again. Maybe do something more...
"You know what..." He starts to walk her backwards to the bed. "I think we should just stop...cleaning..."

"I hate cleaning," she agrees, hands on his biceps to keep from falling over her feet.

"Hm," he hums. "Me too." Then he pushes her onto the bed and she giggles.

An hour later, they are laying in bed, naked and wrapped in his sheets. 

"This is so bad," Cat says, grinning up at him.

"What's so bad?" he asks.

She laughs. "I'm just...I'm in so much trouble." She was way in over head with him.

He laughs too.

"The last time something like this happened I..." She shakes her head. "Disaster."

Vincent looks away a second, still smiling. "Wait, something like this has happened to you before?" he jokes.
