In the Moon's Light

Chapter 32: I Agreed to What Now?

Michaels' POV:

I hear the clock on the wall start chiming, just to remind me that she isn't back yet and that it is now 9 o'clock. Where the hell could she be? Was she actually planning on coming back or was that just a lie? Someone's coming back down the hallway. I swear if it's the professor again I'm going to lose my sh....wait they're running.

I turn toward my bedroom door just in time to see Kat throw it open and run straight into my chest wrapping her arms around my neck. Before I can say anything her lips are on mine, working in perfect harmony with each other. I instantly feel myself relax and I can't help but wrap my fingers through her hair and try to bring her even closer into me. I feel her warp her arms a little tighter around my neck, and then I feel her legs wrap around my waist.

I feel her tongue brush against my lips as I eagerly open them for her, as she deepens the kiss. I want all of her right now, but I don't want to push her too fast. Sure, fast is the definition of our relationship at this point, but I'm beginning to worry that I may actually push her into going farther than we should tonight, secrets revealed or not and mine is impossible to hide without clothes on.

I feel her curl her fingers in my hair and I can't help but let my hands wander down her back and attempt to bring her closer to me as I gently grab her butt. I hear her make a gasp noise mid-kiss followed by an even more passion filled kiss. I begin to not care how far either one of us goes tonight and just enjoy this moment when suddenly she breaks away from the kiss.

 I bring my hands back up around her waist as I open my eyes to find myself getting lost once again in those green gems of hers. God, her eyes are so beautiful. I gently caress her face as I watch her eyes sparkle, as a smile makes its way onto her beautiful face.

"Michael, we need to shut the door."

"What........oh. Yeah ha, I umm I guess we do don't we."

I move to shut the door, with her legs still wrapped around my waist and my arms wrapped gently around her waist. She sounded out of breath and so incredibly sexy. I shut the bedroom door quickly with my foot and find myself staring at this beautiful creature in my arms. I could die a happy man with her in my arms tonight.

Then I remember just how worried she had me all day. I'm not mad at her, just mad that I was worried and stressed  all day. I see her expression change from what I hope is love to............concern or maybe confusion? I carry her over to the bed before sitting down with her on my lap. She moves her legs to the side as she gets comfortable in my lap and leans into my chest, snuggling her face into my chest.

"Michael.......is something wrong?"

"Why would you think something is wrong?"

"Oh, just something in your eyes I guess."

"Nothing's wrong, it's just.....oh Kat, my Katherine. I've been so worried about you all day. First you leave without waking me or saying goodbye, and you leave a note that says 'be back around dark' and then four hours after dark you finally come home. I kept thinking that something happened, or you weren't coming back, or you got lost or hurt. I wouldn't know what to do if you hadn't of come back, I--"

She cuts me off mid-sentence with a kiss as she wraps her arms around my neck. She then snuggles her face into my neck, kissing the top of the mark and making me shiver but in a good way. I instantly feel myself relax as she leans into me and even more so when she starts talking.

"Shhhh.....Michael. It's ok. I'm sorry you were worried all day but I'm back now. The meeting place for me and Jenny was pretty far off and it took longer for me to get there and back. I'm sorry you were worried. But I'm here with you now, and I'm poison free. Everything is alright. I'm sorry."
