Healing Her: Kate Martin

Every

Kate's Pov:

Reese and I have had many conversations about how we want our relationship to be. Reese has brought up many times that she wants to take things slow. Especially because of her first relationship, she was forced to do a lot of things she didn't want to do. I want to make sure she is always comfortable, feels safe, cared for, and loved. I don't care how long it will take, I will wait for her. I will wait until she is ready. Even if it's "not the normal thing" or "that's so old school".

We have been together for almost 8 months now which is insane. Time has flown since we started dating. And I have loved every minute of it. Every kiss is tender, filled with love and care. Every touch is intimate and meaningful. Every word is sacred and precious. Every moment is cherished and enjoyed. 

Speaking of kissing...

We haven't gotten to the point where we have done anything more than kissing. Which is absolutely fine with me because I know Reese hasn't been ready yet. And all I want her is to feel heard and seen. But I swear when that woman is dancing with Gabbie and Jada. Or laughing about a post Caitlin is showing her. Or is just lying in my arms sleeping peacefully. I just want to take care of her. In more ways than one. I want to show her what it feels like to be loved. I want to show her what it feels like to be cared for. 

Reese's Pov: 

I put on one of Kate's Iowa t-shirts that is baggy on me along with some shorts and my slippers. She is coming over in a little bit for a cozy, comfy little date night. We are watching Outerbanks tonight because Madelyn Cline and Madison Bailey are just ugh. And also it's a super cute show plus everyone is super attractive in my opinion. But Kate texted me like 5 minutes ago telling me she was on the way and would be here after grabbing us both some ice cream. 

Kate is such a sweet girlfriend. I couldn't ask for a more loving, patient, genuine woman to be with. She humors me and my crazy attitude. She has been so supportive and patient with me and not being ready for many things. One of those things being related to sexual connection. After he who shall not be named I am worried or scared to do anything more than kissing. But today feels different. 

We are just lying on the couch watching the show. She is running her fingers up and down my arm barely touching me. But gosh is it doing something to me. I mean it could be how close we are together. Or her hot breath fanning  my neck. It could be the show, I mean some of these scenes are just stirring up my insides. But something about this feels different, I feel different.

"Katie?" I say in a hushed whisper leaning up off her chest a bit.

"Yes, princess?" She says back making the feelings only grow stronger.

"I need you."

A/n: I'm sorry it's a cliffhanger but I wanted to grow the anticipation. Let me know what y'all think.
