Another Chance: As A Human 2

Chapter Twenty-Five: Reunited

Katherine's POV

I get into my room and look around, everything is pretty much the same since the last time I saw it. I close my eyes, take in a breath, and breathe it out. I head straight into the bathroom and start the shower. I sit under the showerhead for a good minute as I let all my thoughts and feeling come flooding through. I think about killing Qetsiyah, about being tortured, the thought of my daughter dying and I just let the tears flow. After I'm done feeling pity for myself I get up and finish the rest of my shower routine. I get out and get dressed and then I look into the mirror. I watch as the puffiness under my eyes starts to fade away. I take the towel and dry my hair my natural curls forming. I close my eyes and take one more final breath. 'Once you open your eyes all the pain will be gone, the anger and sadness, it has to.' I open my eyes, look up and there is Silas standing behind me looking into the mirror. He smiles at me and I return the favor. 

"You know, Katherine; you don't have to pretend to not be in pain, not to be angry, not to be sad. You never have to fake it around me, you know that right?" 

"I need to not be all of those things, Silas. If I pretend that it's better, I won't turn it off again. I need to pretend." 

I watch as Silas gets closer and closer as he keeps direct eye contact with me. I feel his hand on the skin of my waist under my tank top. I jump slightly at the warmth and the electricity of his hands touching me. 'Why do I keep doing this?' I ask myself 

"You aren't doing anything to yourself, it's just your body's reaction to me. That feeling your getting, of electricity, it's the love and connection between us." 

He leans down and presses a light kiss to the top of my shoulder. He comes up a little and places one on the lower part of my neck. Then he places one in the middle of my neck and another right on my jawline. I lean into the last one and a breath of relief that I didn't know I had left my mouth. I look up to see that my lips are slightly parted, breath slowly escaping. I try to make my breathing go back to normal but the feel of his soft lips against my skin makes it hitch with every touch. He moves his head up slightly and his eyes connect with mine. He lightly drags his fingers up my arms, goosebumps covering my whole body, and places his hand on the straps of my shirt. He keeps his eyes looking into mine as he moves the straps down off my arms and they fall down to my sides. It feels like, with each passing second, time moves slower and slower. He moves down to the hem of my shirt and slowly rises it over my stomach, my chest, and over my head. He drops the shirt to the ground and I hear a small gasp leave his lips as he takes a glance of my torso and chest. He traces his tongue along his bottom lip. 'Dang, he knows what that does to me' He snickers. 'Damn him and his mind-reading.' He continues placing light kisses up and down my neck. I can't help but let out a couple of small moans here and there. I close my eyes at each and every movement.  'I can't take this anymore' 

"Can't take what, Katerina?" He asks moving his hand down my stomach

"I-I..." 

He gets down to my underwear and pulls at the lace and lightly snaps it back. He hesitates when a little hiss of pain comes out of my mouth. 

"Keep going." I beg

I continue to watch as he reaches his hand below my waistband and into my underwear. He barely scrapes the tips of his fingers down my privates. I take in a big breath when he inserts one finger, and then two. He moves them in and out a couple of times before as I moan before he moves up. Two, Three, Five, Seven circles and I'm almost close. I quickly stop him and speed around, switching our places. Without hesitation, I rip his shirt open and throw it to the ground and I take a moment to take in the view. I slowly place kisses down farther and farther towards the top of his belt. He lightly snatches me up, placing his hands right under my thighs and lightly places me on the bathroom counter. Without a second thought, he crashes his lips into mine. His tongue darts out and I open my lips slightly, giving him permission. I touch my tongue to his and it warrants a moan out of him. I feel his hand moves towards my back as he tries to unhook my bra. Once he gets it off and tosses it to the ground he picks me up, my breast pressing against his chest, and carries me to the bed. He lays me down and proceeds to get on top, placing one knee in between my legs lightly pressing against my sex. He disconnects our lip to take a once over of my body.  

"Is it possible that you get more and more beautiful as time goes on?" He whispers 

"It is VERY possible, now shut up and kiss me." 

                                                                                                             *** 

I let out one last moan before Silas falls to my side, sweat over his chest. He and I are both breathing heavily as I look over to him and laugh. He looks at me and smiles. 

"What are you laughing about?" He asks 

"Nothing, I just miss this. Us." 

Although I loved what just happened, it was just a temporary release. I still feel all the anger and sadness. I know the smile as fallen from my face and is replaced with those two feelings when the smile on Silas's face is also gone. 

"Hey, are you okay?" He asks, placing his hand on top of mine 

"Yeah, Yeah. I'm fine." I reassure myself, plastering a fake smile on my face 

"Katherine..." He pauses "I love you." 

'I love you too' I wish I could say it out loud, but I can't. Not right now, probably not for a while. I stay silent as he just looks at me. 

"It's okay, you say it whenever you feel is right. Goodnight. I love you." 

He places one last kiss on my lips before he gets up and goes to take a shower. 'In due time, Silas, In due time.'
