Katie's Quest

Chapter Ten

Katie spent longer in the shower than was probably necessary. It wasn't just a matter of getting herself clean, it was a matter of reasserting her self-control and regaining her focus. Spending so much time with Kieran, knowing what lay ahead for both of them, brought Katie's desire for him to a white-hot burn. She wanted him with an intensity unlike anything she'd ever felt before, and it was all she could do to keep from jumping his bones the moment they were alone in their room together. She was proud of herself for maintaining her composure, but Katie also knew everyone had their limits and she was no exception.

I want to touch him, she thought, as jets of hot water sprayed over her naked body. I want to touch him, and I want him to touch me and kiss me and hold me and--

Frustration boiled over and she slapped the wall of the shower helplessly. I never thought taking it slow would be so hard. Every time he's near me I want to leap on top of him. Every time he smiles, every time he laughs, I feel my pussy get soaking wet. Good thing I brought lots of spare panties!

She took a deep, shuddering breath and tried to gather herself. It's okay, Katie. You can do this. You just have to hold out a little longer, okay? Just let him get comfortable, let things settle now that you've arrived, and make your move as soon as the moment feels right. Don't rush, though. Don't show your hand too early. A girl loses her virginity only once. Your first time should be as special and magical as possible.

Katie reached for one of the many scented body washes the hotel provided and began lathering herself, making sure she was both clean and fragrant.

I'll take him out to a nice dinner, she thought. Her rampaging libido calmed somewhat as she focused on planning her next move. Somewhere nice but not too formal. If things go well, if the vibe is really positive and if Kieran's not too tired, I'll go for it when we get back.

Her hand slipped between her legs and she bit her lip to keep quiet, strumming her clit like a skilled guitarist. Katie knew her body well enough to bring herself to orgasm very quickly, but even then it felt hollow, a pale imitation. It was like settling for a cheap beer instead of an expensive, rare wine. Still, it was better than nothing and at least it helped her let off some steam. As she toyed with herself, Katie wondered how many time she'd be able to make Kieran cum when they went to bed together, and how many loads he'd blast into her willing, fertile body before he ran out of endurance.

She turned the water off and stepped out, steam curling seductively around her naked form. Katie made sure to dry her hair carefully and dress in a clean set of clothes--a simple T-shirt and blue jeans this time, rather than the more stylish ensemble she'd worn on the plane. I love that outfit, but I want to wear something a little more comfortable.

She emerged from the bathroom just as Kieran was returning, his arms laden with snacks. Katie's stomach growled hungrily as he laid bags of junk food onto a nearby table.

Kieran gestured at it a bit sheepishly. "I wasn't sure which kind you'd want, regular or spicy or spicy with lime," he explained. "So I got all three just to be safe."

Katie's heart did a barrel roll in her chest. It was such a small thing, but the gesture meant a lot and it showed in a nutshell the kind of person Kieran was. How very like her quiet, shy friend to do something like this in order to make sure he got exactly what she wanted. He's going to make some lucky girl very, very happy.

And yet, for reasons she couldn't articulate, Katie found the idea of Kieran getting some other girl Cheetos, or holding some other girl in his arms, distinctly unpleasant. So unpleasant, in fact, that she couldn't contemplate it for more than a few seconds. This was most unexpected, and it even rattled her confidence a little before she managed to reassert it.
