Golden Ecstasy

ECSTASY4a

Golden Ecstasy 4a

Tommy had told Kat he was heading up to the cabin to put everything
in order again. There was laundry to return, the last foodstuffs to dispose
of, the heater and water tank to shut down again ... on impulse, the Pink
Ranger had decided to accompany her boyfriend, although she could think
of more pleasant ways to spend the afternoon than doing household chores.
Once there, the two divided the various small jobs between them. Tommy
saw to the kitchen and appliances while Kat cleaned the bathroom and put
fresh linens on the bed. She was currently yanking at the cloth ropes still
tied to the headboard, grumbling under her breath. It was no use; the knots
were just too tight for her. Shaking her head in exasperation, she straightened
again; the Pink Ranger hadn’t thought that Jason had been straining that
much against his bonds. However, she couldn’t just cut the ropes loose;
they needed to be returned to the living room, to hold back the drapes.
Huffing slightly, Kat gave up the attempt before she broke a fingernail.
"Tommy?"
She heard him answer indistinctly from the shed just outside the kitchen,
where he was shutting down the heater.
"To can can you come here for a moment?" Kat called a bit more loudly.
"Sure; give me just a sec." Tommy’s voice was muffled. Within a few
moments, though, he joined her in the bedroom. Kat was putting fresh slipcovers
on the pillows and jerked her head distractedly towards the bed.
"Could you please get the ropes off the bedposts? The knots have drawn
too tight for me."
"Sure." A bit bewildered, Tommy knelt on the mattress, already covered
with a fresh sheet. Deftly, his strong fingers untied the brown cords.
Smoothing them in his hand, he looked at them, then cocked a curious eyebrow
at his girlfriend who was plumping up the pillows before depositing them
on the bed.
"Whatever did you do with these? Where are they from, anyway?"
"They go around the drapes at the window behind the couch," Kat answered,
mentally cataloguing what else needed to be done. She collected the water
bottle and glasses from the nightstand and wandered off to the kitchen,
Tommy trailing behind her. "We -- well, Tanya actually -- used them in
the beginning to tie Jason’s hands."
An invisible observer would have been able to see and hear the Red Ranger’s
jaw hit the floor. As it was, Kat was oblivious as she rinsed the glasses
and dried them. Only the strangled sound of Tommy’s voice brought her back
to the here and now.
"You .... you tJaseJase up? And then you ... and he ... oh my God ..."
Tommy blushed fiercely as his mind was suddenly assaulted by images of
his best friend stretched out on crisp white sheets, arms bound over his
head and his body hard with need, with Kat bending over Jason, her long
blonde curls trailing over his sculpted muscles. He swallowed hard and
fought the urge to adjust his suddenly too-tight pants.
"Yes; it was Jason’s idea, actually, because he’d frightened Tanya a
bit in the beginning."
Katherine had to struggle to keep her voice neutral as shservserved
Tommy’s discomfort, but perversely being back at the cabin helped. She
hadn’t been able to talk to her boyfriend and lover about her experience
before, although she’d wanted to; somehow, the words wouldn’t come, and
Tommy had assured her right after her return that he’d wait until she was
ready.
She lowered her eyes as the silence between them became somewhat oppressive.
Suddenly, her breath caught in her throat. Kat hadn’t meant to, but her
gaze had dropped below Tommy’s waistline, and she blushed hotly as she
recognized the unmistakeable bulge in his pants. The blue eyes flew upwards
again, to meet chocolate orbs which closed in momentary embarrassment.
When they opened again, she gasped at the half-defiant, half-apologetic
look Tommy gave her. Kat fairly fbackback to the bedroom.
Tommy watched Kat disappear before he could say anything. He briefarguargued with himself if he should follow her, she seemed so upset, but ultimately
decided against it. Her revelation had really thrown him for a loop,
and it was unbelievable how much, or how fast, the vision of Jason tied
up like that had gotten to him. Even now, he could feel his penis twitch
in his shorts, and he adjusted himself self-consciously. It didn’t help
much. Zeo Ranger Five knew that his girlfriend had noticed his sudden arousal,
and he could only hope that it didn’t disgust her too much.
*Kat’s always been so shy about having sex ... making love ... although
I‘d think she had to have gotten over it a bit, if she’s been with Jase
like that ...*
A new, tiny spurt of arousal tingled along Tommy’s nerve endings. Sighing,
he cast another glance in theectiection of the bedroom, but Kat had closed
the door behind her. Well, maybe it’d be better if he left Kat to calm
down on her own. He wanted to hold her, to reassure her that nothing had
changed between them, but maybe the time wasn’t quite right yet. Silently
shaking his head at his uncharacteristic procrastination, Tommy took one
of the soda cans out of the fridge and decided to take a short break. He
wandered out on the porch, looking over the tiny lake as he gradually felt
his erection diminish.

***

In the bedroom, the Pink Ranger took up the top sheet with trembling
hands and tried to smooth the crisp linen over the mattress, but was too
distracted by what had just happened; with a faint sigh she sank onto the
bed, staring unseeingly into the room that had become so familiar to her
such a short time ago. Her thoughts were whirling chaotically.
*Why am I so surprised that Tommy gets turned on by the thought that
Jason was tied up while I was with him? Remember what you felt that second
afternoon when you teased Tanya about it? What it would’ve been like if
we had bound him again?*
Kat felt a rush of heat coil deep in her belly and her breasts began
to tingle as images of That Weekend rose in her mind. Sad tad tried hard
not
to think about it, but being back at the cabin, in the very room she had
spent so much time with Tommy’s best friend, made it impossible to escape
her memories any longer. She moaned softly as her pulse rate soared, and
her eyes closed as she remembered *Ja *Jason bending over her, his eyes flashing dark fire at her ... his
large, warm hands moving across her flushed skin ... the hot mouth devouring
hers, then wandering down to her throbbing nipples ... licking, nibbling,
suckling .... his skilled tongue lashing her higher into sexual frenzy
until she could only sob out his name with need ... the hot, thick shaft
opening her up, filling her body with its urgency ... their skin slick
with sweat as they moved together as one, straining towards fulfillment
again and again until exp exploded into orgasm, their cries of release
echoing around the room ....
Then there was the aftermath ... the gradual slowing down of hammering
hearts as they kissed, hands once more roaming the other’s body in soothing
caresses as their legs twined with each other and they relaxed against
the rumpled sheets to drift off into sleep together, only to start the
cycle anew as the Ecstasy potion claimed her as surely as Jason, even though
it only coursed through his veins while he took his pleasure within her
willing body ...
And there were the times in between, when they rested ... cuddling
close in oth other’s arms ... talking ... sharing ...the way Jason carried
her to the couch ... how his hands felt on her wet skin as they showered
together ... roaming her body and teasing her... the look in his eyes as
he saw her naked for the first time ... his tears after they had found
the right way to relieve his need ...*
With a violent shake of her head, Kat returned to the present. It was
over; had been over for more than two weeks now, and it was time to resume
her life. And her life did not include the former Gold Ranger, but
Tommy. Zeo Ranger Five. The man who had trusted her enough to open his
heart to her after his first girlfriend had let him go with hardly an explanation,
cutting him to the quick. She had no business to relive her time with Jason
-- Tommy’s best friend. A person her boyfriend cared enough about to offer
himself to when the effects of the Ecstasy potion became known.
Katherine sighed heavily as she slumped on the bed, absently crushing
the top sheet between her fingers. She had thought long and hard about
what had happened between her and Jason, and reluctantly had to admit that
he’d gotten to her far more than she was comfortable with. Otherwise, she
was sure, she could never havenedened up so much to him.
*Yes, Jason is attractive. Handsome -- extremely so. Also nice, funny,
caring, intelligent ... sexy ... but so’s Tommy. And I’m in love with him,
I know I am. I couldn’t have made love with Tommy in the first place if
I didn’t love him.*
Another sigh rose from what felt like the soles of her feet as she slowly
got up to finish making the bed.
*I wonder ... if Jason had been in Angel Grove when I moved here
... would I still have fallen in love with Tommy, or would it have been
with his best friend?*
The Pink Ranger had no answer as she completed her chore. Uncomfortably
aware that her memories had aroused her to the point that she could feel
the wetness between her legs soaking her panties, Kat tried to concentrate
on the task at hand. She looked around once more to see if she had overlooked
anything; finding everything in order, she turned, but as she did so, her
left foot hit against something that rolled over the hardwood floor with
a faint clatter. Curious, Kat bent and from under the bed retrieved the
dark glass vial Alpha had handed her before she teleported up. It rattled
slightly. Kat worked the lid off and a last contraceptive-cum-stimulant
rolled into halm.alm. The tiny white tablet seemed almost to mock her,
and the blonde moaned again under her breath as a shudder worked its way
down her spine. Clutching both the vial and the pill in her hand, Kat all
but fled the bedroom.
She stood in the living room, trying to control her breathing, as she
caught sight of Tommy. He was standing outside on the porch, slowly sipping
a soda as he leaned against the railing. He had discarded his shirt a while
ago, and his tanned, muscular arms contrasted nicely with his red muscle
shirt as a light breeze stirred his long hair, blowing it away from his
forehead. Kat watched, suddenly mesmerized, as he rolled the chilled can
against his forehead before draining it. The muscles in his throat worked
as he swallowed the cool liquid, and a few drops spilled over as he tilted
the can up, coursing down his strong neck to leave a moist trail that disappeared
down his torso.
As Kat stood and all but drooled over the handsome leader of the Power
Rangers, she suddenly became very much aware of the small round
lump in her fist. Slowly, she opened her hand and stared at the pill. The
blue eyes turned once more towards the porch and the tall figure raising
his face towards the wind and sun. The blonde felt her breasts grow heavy
and begin to ache.
*Impossible ... I can’t just ... but why not? I love Tommy, and I
know he loves and wame .me .... what if he says no?*
Kat swallowed hard, barely holding back a needy sigh.
*What if he says yes?*
The thought intensified the ache in her already-throbbing nipples and
sent a fresh, tiny spurt of moisture into her tingling folds.
*I’ve never done this before! I can’t ... can’t just ... seduce
... Tommy!*
However, once formed, the idea would not go away. Before more rational
thought prevailed, Kat lifted the contraceptive to her mouth and lipped
it from her palm. Swallowing it dry as she’d done that Saturday night before
she went to Jason the first time, the Australian drew in a deep breath
and absently let the glass vial fall to the floor. The muted clatter on
the carpet brought Tommy around to face her, and the Red Ranger’s mouth
suddenly went dry as he took in the flushed face of his blonde girlfriend.
Tommy was completely bereft of speech as Kat sashayed towards him, her
full breasts heaving slightly under her coral- pink t-shirt, two hard little
protrusions pointing directly at him. The azure eyes were dark with passion
as Kat lifted her arms around his neck, rubbing her hips seductively against
his own. The quivering rosy lips beckoned as Tommy instinctively grasped
Kat around the waist, and he felt himself grow rock-hard the instant her
pink tongue-tip moistened the soft mouth.
The Red Ranger couldn’t help the moan that escaped him as Kat kissed
him, softly at first, then with increasing passion. She had never
taken the lead in a kiss like this, although she certainly had not been
totally passive -- but what she was doing to him with her lips and tongue
now sent his hormones rocketing sky-high.
Kat let her tongue-tip trace the seam of Tommy’s lips as she undulated
agt hit him. The hard, tall body felt so incredible against her soft curves
that she purred deep within her throat. The tiny vibrations sent shivers
down the two teens’ spines, and involuntarily Tommy answered with a groan
that seemed to rise from the deepest recesses of his soul. Almost immediately,
Kat took advantage of the fact that the firm lips opened slightly under
hers, and she slipped her moist oral organ inside, to duel with Tommy’s.
He was unable to resist the blatant invitation and reciprocated. Within
moments, the two were clutching hard at each other as they devoured their
partner’s mouth almost savagely. Only when the need to breathe became too
insistent did they separate reluctantly, bodies still pressed close, their
breaths coming in short, fast gasps.
Katherine looked up into Tommy’s brown eyes with an expression in her
sapphire pools that sent another surge of blood directly into his already-straining
shaft. She felt the instinctive thrust of his hips against hers, and answered
with a sensuous grind that provoked yet another deep moan. Barely able
to keep his eyes open with arousal, Tommy watched his normally serene,
calm, demure girlfriend transform into a sexy siren right before him. All
the shyness and insecurity that Kat had displayed in their lovemaking before
seemed to have vanished into thin air, and the sensual smile playing around
the soft, moist lips was truly a sight to behold. Tommy captured it with
his own lips.
Their kiss, like the ones before and quite a few after, lasted a long
time. The two Rangers were lost only within each other as they explored,
licked, nibbled and nipped at soft tissues and moist tongues until their
bodies throbbed with need. Finally, Kat took a small step backwards, her
hands still locked around her boyfriend’s neck and her hips once more swaying
against the steel-hard ridge in Tommy’s pants. Her eyes sparkled with an
expression he had never seen in them before, and she slowly licked
her already-glistening lips again.
"Ohmygod, Kaaaaat ...!" Tommy moaned as he thrust his hips insistently
into her softness. His head was swimming as he tried to collect his wits
when he heard the Pink Ranger chuckle softly deep within her throat. The
sound made his blood pressure soar.
"Kat .... oh God, Kat, please ... !" Tommy panted as he felt the smooth
hands glide under his tank top, outlining and caressing the muscles on
his back and chest.
"Hmmm? Please what?"
The sultry purr wrapped itself around Tommy’s consciousness, making
it extremely difficult for him to concate.ate. Kat had succeeded
in pushing the thin cotton up and her hands roamed unhindered over the
warm expanse of skin. Tommy gasped at the bolt of sexual energy shooting
into his groin as she gently pinched a tiny nipple.
"Kat .... uhhn ... Kat .... w-what are you ... mmmmm ... d-doing?"
"Can’u teu tell, Tommy?" the blonde seductress whispered into his ear,
flicking a moist tongue-tip against the shell. The sensation was unexpectedly
erotic, and Tommy angled his neck into the flirty caress. Because of that,
he almost didn’t notice what Kat’s hands were doing to the front of his
loose chinos. Before he could react, much less protest, she had opened
the fly and was slipping those incredible hands inside his boxers, dipping
over his asscheeks to grasp the tight muscles in a teasing grip. Then,
Kat slid them towards the front and his throbbing erection once more. The
Red Ranger moaned loudly as his girlfriend cupped his balls in one hand
and skimmed along his rod with the other.
Kat watched Tommy’s reactions to her boldness avidly. A part of her
was wondering why she was doing this, how she could be so forward, but
it was drowned out by the thrill of reducing Tommy to a blob of simmering
hormones. The feeling of sheer power it gave her was completely
exhilarating, and the ache spread from her tits towards her pussy. A new
idea occurred to her.
*You’re mad! You’ve never done this before!* The voice in her
mtrietried to dissuade her, but her own needs overruled it.
*So what? Tommy will love it, and it’s not as if he could tell, anyway!*
Before she could change her mind, Kat slowly sank to her knees before
Tommy, pushing his pants and underwear down on the way. His engorged cock
twitched as the air hit the heated skin, and the sight of a drop of clear
fluid gathering at the very tip made Kat’s mouth water. She pressed a first
kiss against the spongy head and felt it flare. Encouraged, she closed
her eyes and opened her lips, reaching out with her tongue. A few tentative
licks produced deeper moans from above, and Kat could feel tremors starting
in the strong thighs. Inhaling a shaky breath, she opened her mouth wide
and drew as much of the throbbing length inside as she could manage. Holding
very still to get accustomed to the taste and feel of actually having Tommy’s
cock within her mouth, she moved her tongue a bit against the satiny smoothness.
Liking the sensation, she began to explore.
Tommy nearly went into sensory overload. As soon as Kat sank to the
ground, he’d known -- prayed for -- what was coming, but nothing
could have prepared him for the incredible feeling of having his cock deeply
imbedded in that hot, wet cavern. He couldn’t help himself; he buried both
hands in the silky strands of Kat’s hair as he stared at the pink lips
wrapped so tightly around his length. When her rough/smooth tongue began
lapping at the ridge around the corona, he almost lost it. Instinctively,
his hips snapped forward, burying more of him inside that incredible orifice.
Tommy felt himself hit the back of Kat’s throat, and withdrew again. His
sighs and moans rose from somewhere deep within, and he grasped the blonde
head more firmly, tilting it slightly upwards. The angle at which he thrust
altered somewhat, and Tommy sensed Kat’s teeth grazing his shaft. He started
to tremble with need, and groaned out her name.
"Kaaat ...!"
The girl slowly opened her eyes at the not-quite desperate sound and
looked up into Tommy’s face, her own pools a deep blue, blazing hotly from
within. Deliberately, she swirled her tongue around the silky head, finding
the vee of the ridge and licking repeatedly against it. There was something
incredibly thrilling about the fact that, although she was on her
knees before Tommy, it was he who was at her mercy. It reminded
her of the feeling that seeing Jason bound on the bed had left her with.
Although she hadn’t acknowledged it at the time, it had sent a sliver of
arousal deep into the core of her body. But, this was not Jason; this was
Tommy who shivered under her hands. Kat could almost taste his desire
to just thrust forward, to bury himself within her mouth until he came.
However, she wasn’t ready for that. Yet.
Kat gently withdrew from Tommy’s cock, licking delicately until she
only held the very tip between her lips. A steady flood of pre-come dripped
on her tongue, and she swallowed it a bit gingerly. Finding the taste not
too bad, Kat became once more aware of her own body’s desires. Her breasts
ached with the need to be touched, to feel Tommy’s hot tongue wrapped around
the hardened knots that were her nipples, and she knew she was soaking
wet in her shorts. With a gentle, parting kiss she released the silk-covered
steel from her wet oral embrace. Burying her face briefly in the dark curls
at the base of the throbbing shaft, she nuzzled there for a few moments,
then trailed teasing fingertips over the swollen testes and lithely got
up again, to find herself caught in a crushing embrace.
Heedless of Tommy’s pants puddling around his ankles, the two devoured
each other as Tommy yanked Kat’s t-shirt out of her shorts and burrowed
upwards to her aching mounds. Almost roughly, he fumbled briefly with the
front clasp of her bra and pushed the lacy cups aside, filling both palms
with the soft weight. Tommy brushed his thumbs across the hard tips, causing
Kat to suck in a sharp breath and grind her hips against his naked flesh.
Tommy tore his mouth away, gasping for air. His eyes burned into their
sapphire counters, as, and the fire in them fanned the flames of his own
desire to new heights. Tommy had to swallow hard before he found his voice.
The light baritone was hoarse with need as Tommy kneaded Kat’s heaving
breasts.
"Kat .... oh God, Kat .... I want you ...!"
"Yessss!"
Therp hrp hiss was enough to bring their mouths together once more,
tongues duelling with each other. A few awkward shuffles, since he didn’t
want to let go of the young woman in his arms, enabled the Red Ranger to
step out of his crumpled pants and underwear. He then swept Kat up into
his arms and without a backward glance carried her inside, towards the
bedroom. Once there, Tommy let Kat glide down his body and proceeded to
take off her clothes with an urgency he’d never displayed before. The Pink
Ranger revelled in his touch, moving with the marauding hands while still
dusting hot, sucking kisses and licks all over Tommy’s face, neck and shoulders.
Within moments, they were both naked and sank onto the freshly-made bed,
where they writhed together with an abandon they’d never shared before.
Kat arched her back, moaning loudly, as Tommy captured a pebbled nipple
between his lips. The rosy knot of tissue was hard as stone and ached fiercely,
and the first wet swipe of his tongue brought only momentary relief. She
thrust her breasts upwards, into closer contact with Tommy’s mouth. He
got the blatant hint. Chuckling breathlessly, he bit into the small protrusion
-- not enough to hurt, but more than enough to call forth a sigh that was
halfway between torment and pleasure.
"Tommm--meeee!"
He didn’t answer verbally; instead, he gathered Kat’s heaving bosom
up in both hands, pressing the firm globes close together so he could flick
his tongue rapidly from one hard nipple to the other and back again. Their
lower bodies were grinding against each other, almost humping in their
eagerness to take and be taken. Nothing mattered but the pleasure they
were giving each other, and Tommy finally released one rosy-white swell
to cup the moist mound between Kat’s legs. They fell open at his first
touchTommTommy, please," the Australian panted. The emptiness she felt seemed
almost unbearable; she only knew that she needed to be filled by Tommy’s
hot, throbbing shaft, now! Kat tugged impatiently at the broad shoulders,
seeking out the ravenous mouth with her own once more.
"I want to make this last ..."
"No! Tommy, I need you within me, now!"
Since his own need was eagerly agreeing with the gasped demand, the
young man acquiesced and moved between the invitingly spread thighs. Lifting
them up towards his waist, he couldn’t resist the temptation to draw this
out just a bit longer. He for forward and licked roughly at the
glistening folds gaping through the blonde curls. As soon as he made contact
with the swollen pearl hidden there, he could feel Kat convulse in orgasm.
She screamed softly as the waves of pleasure engulfed her, then collapsed
bonelessly into his arms.
"Oooohhhh!"
Tommy couldn’t help himself; he laughed as he wiped the moisture off
his lips and chin on Kat’s smooth belly and moved upwards. Despite her
climax, she eagerly opened up to him as he entered her with one fluid stroke.
They’d never before had been so much at ease with each other, and Kat clung
to Tommy’s shoulders as he settled himself more comfortably within her.
Both teens paused to savour the exquisite feeling as her velvety folds
gripped the hard length of his cock. Sparkling blue eyes met glittering
brown ones as the two undulated against each other. Mouths met in yet another
searing kiss. Then, Tommy eased backwards and thrust his hips once, driving
himself still deeper into the welcoming body. Simultaneously, they moaned.
Another deep stroke sent shudders down their spines. Tommy paused once
more, afraid he would snap.
Kat wrapped her legs high around Tommy’s torso and drew him down into
another long, thoroughly arousing kiss as she clenched her inner muscles
around the pulsating rod. When they came up for air, their hearts were
thundering against each other.
"Take me, Tommy; make love to me. Please!" Kat shifted her hips slightly,
eliciting a soft groan from her lover.
"Mmmmmmh!" The sensual sound was acompanied by a shallow stroke into
her heat. Tommy couldn’t remember when being within Kat had ever felt so
good.
*You’ve never been completely naked within her before!* his mental
voice reminded him drily. That was the only reason which enabled Tommy
to stop. Trying to withdraw from the delightful warmth, he gathered his
spinning wits.
"K.. K.. Kat, honey, wait...!"
He barely recognized his own voice, it was so raspy with need.
"Hmm? What?" The sexy purr was also almost unrecognizable.
"Kat, I ... I need to get a condom," Tommy panted. He didn’t
want to leave the delicious heat surrounding his manhood, but a last shred
of sanity remained. However, Kat’s next words destroyed even that.
"Not necessary. There was one of Zordon’s pills left ... I took it befor ... ...." Her breathless words were swallowed by Tommy’s mouth as he buried
his tongue and his cock deeply within her mouth and pussy. Within seconds,
nothing existed but the insistent desire to become one, to scale the heights
of ecstasy together.
Lips caressed and teeth nipped. Hands stroked and glided. Legs entwined
and hips thrust against each other as Pink and Red Ranger drove each other
higher and higher, straining for that elusive spark that would ignite the
universe around them. When they reached it, they cried out the other’s
name as first Kat, then Tommy tumbled head-over-heels into climactic oblivion.
"Tommy!"
"Kat!"
Long-drawn out moans filled the air as they slowed down, still rocking
against each other. Graduallightight grips loosened and frantic kisses
gentled as their thundering heartbeats subsided. Only when the last little
spasm had faded did Tommy lift his sweaty face from Kat’s neck, to look
into azure pools that glowed and sparkled with an inner flame that sent
his pulse skyrocketing again. Still out of breath, he hed hed softly as
he observed the smug little smile play around her kiss-swollen pink lips.
"I know you don’t like it much, but right now you really look
like a cat that has gotten the canary!"
"Mrrrreeouww!"
Kat growled at Tommy playfully, for once not chiding him about making
a cat joke. Instead, she let the throaty sound roll sexily around her tongue
and drew his head down to hers, to nip and nibble at his mouth. She arched
into his chest as their tongues duelled, rubbing her still-throbbing nipples
against the smooth musculature. The Red Ranger let himself be swept away
by the exquisite sensations; however, a shift in position dislodged his
softening penis from its delightfully warm, moist sheath.
"Uuhnn ...." both moaned simultanously, half with laur anr and half
with disappointment. Tommy finally rolled off Kat, only to gather her closely
in his arms. He gently brushed back a few strands of hair that clung to
her damp cheeks. She looked up at him with a look in her eyes that he’d
never quite seen before. Normally, when they made love, the blue pools
took on a deep glow, shining softly with love and satisfaction. All of
that was there now, too, but overlaid with a kind of glitter that sent
new shafts of heat into his belly. Tommy kissed Kat once more, taking her
mouth slowly, sensually, until they were both breathless with laughter
and not-quite satiated desire.
The young woman traced the strong features with her fingertips, until
they wandered into the long mahogany locks. Tommy chuckled as he shook
his head, dusting the fair skin with the strands. His hands roamed over
Kat’s curves, gently tickling here, petting soothingly there, dipping into
the sweet folds to trail moistened fingertips to the rosy nipples, circling
them until they began to harden once more. He bent to take another taste,
and Kat arched her back, offering her creamy globes to his mouth. Tommy
couldn’t resist and took his time, exploring, kneading, licking and suckling.
He stopped before things went any further, though. For one thing, he was
still somewhat spent from the most intense orgasm he’d ever experienced,
and for another, he was enjoying Kat’s uninhibited responses far too much.
Making love to her like this was something he’d dreamed about, but hadn’t
wanted to push her into.
Kat issued yet another sexy moan as her lover released her aching breast
to move upwards again, claiming her hungry mouth as they aligned their
bodies more comfortably on the rumpled sheet. She reluctantly opened her
eyes as she felt Tommy draw away slightly.
"Tommy?"
He shivered at the husky tone. Their legs were still entwined with each
other, and he propped his head up on one elbow as he let his free hand
glide over the smooth skin, from shoulder to hip and back up again. He
laughed gently at his girlfriend as he stole another kiss.
"You sure are a wildcat today."
"Do you mind?" She sent him a smoldering glance as she outlined his
pectorals with a teasing finger.
"Not at all." It was Tommy’s turn to sigh sensually as Kat flicked a
fingernail over his tiny nipple, sending little electrical sparks directly
into his groin.
"I’m just wondering what’s gotten into you all of a sudden. I’m not
complaining, mind, but ..." his voice trailed off as he felt Kat stiffen
in his arms. The soft hand fell away from his chest and Tommy could just
barely see the blue eyes shutter before Kat turned her head away.
"Kat?"
He gently took her chin in his hand when she wouldn’t loo him him, lovingly
forcing her to meet his eyes.
"What is it, honey?"
Kat swallowed as tears threatened to gather and spill over. She had
known this was coming, but did it have to be here -- now?
"Maybe ..." she had to force the words through her dry throat, "...
maybe you shouldn’t ask what has gotten ine, be, but who."
"Huh?" Tommy stared at his girlfriend uncomprehendingly. Then, the meaning
of her words registered, along with the dull flush on the porcelain face
and the anxious look she cast in his direction.
"I ... I see."
He sat up, running both hands through his hair as he brushed the long
strands back.
"Jason, right?"
"Yes." Kat’s affirmative came in a very small voice. "Tommy, I ..."
The Red Ranger inhaled deeply. Seeing the trepidation in the lovely
face, he forced images of Kat and Jason writhing on this very bed from
his mind and lay down again, gathering the nude form close. He kissed her
forehead.
"It’s okay, Kat. I ... you caught me by surprise, is all. I guess I
should have expected something like this might happen, but ... I just never
thought ..."
Her tears did spill over then. Kat tried to turn away, but Tommy
wouldn’t let her. He pulled her back into his arms and held her wordlessly
as she cried, trying to come to terms with the fact that it hadn’t been
him, but his best friend who had been the one to unlock the sensuality
of Kat’s nature -- something he’d more sensed than known about, but longed
to experience. Well, now he had. Tommy gently stroked the trembling girl
as he let his mind wander over the past couple of weeks, back to That Weekend.
He hadn’t asked before because he wanted to give Kat time to regroup somewhat,
but it seemed the moment had come.
"Can you tell me about it?" he asked quietly when he felt Kat slowly
relax in his arms again. She shivered as she wiped her wet cheeks on the
pillow.
"Do you want a blanket, or something?" Tommy inquired solicitously,
thinking Kat might be cold.
A light breeze came in through the open window; it actually felt rather
good to Tommy on his still-overheated skin, but if Kat needed the cosiness
and security of covering up .... besides, she’d always been a bit hesitant
about being naked with him outside of actually making love.
"N-no, I’m fine," she hiccuped as she snuck a peek into the lean face.
The chocolate eyes were serious, but still warm; maybe this wasn’t going
to be too hard, after all. Taking heart from the slight smile and gentle
kiss Tommy brushed against her forehead, she rested her head against his
shoulder and sent her thoughts back to the two days she had spent mostly
in Jason’s arms. Drawing a deep breath, she unconsciouhugghugged Tommy’s
waist as she launched into her memories.
"It ... it started out very much like we expected; I came up here just
as Tanya and Jason had finished the first cycle. I..."
The Pink Rr had tod to swallow several times as she explained the sequence
of events, suddenly embarrassed. It was one thing to do what she had done
and talk about the experience with Tanya and Jason, who had been there,
but quite another to relate intimate details to her boyfriend. However,
Tommy deserved to know. He already knew the basics, so to speak, and there
was no real need to describe everything that had passed between
her and his best friend. She forced herself to continue.
"...Jason said that it wasn’t really helping him when I just held still
and just let him ... you know. Anyway, we both took a shower after the
first time, and when we came back here, he sort of lost control for a while."
Kat looked up into Tommy’s eyes just in time to catch the expression of
alarm wash over his face. His arms tightened around her.
"God, Kat, he ...." Tommy’s voice suddenly was hoarse with strain. Had
he let his girlfriend go into a situation where she had been hurt in any
way? "Jase didn’t hurt you, did he?"
"No, no, nothing like that," she soothed him, smiling lightly. "It was
just ... I was about to restrain him again when he suddenly couldn’t hold
back any longer. I had no choice but to go along with what he was doing.
Anyway, somehow or other, I don’t exactly know how or why
it happened, but I began to respond to Jason, and that was sort of the
turning point."
Katherine felt Tommy slowly relax beside her as her words sank in. It
gave her the courage to tell the rest. Cuddling closer to the muscular
body, she didn’t notice the slightly dreamy note in her voice as she gave
Tommy a somewhat expurgated version of events. Tommy did, but decided not
to pursue the matter right now.
He was silent for quite some time when she finished, thinking about
what she’d said ... and not said. The Red Ranger knew that Kat had only
given him the bare facts (he had to grin somewhat sardonically at the aptness
of the expression), but he didn’t really need or want to know every tiny
little detail of what Jason and Kat had done together. Finally, he turned
towards the lovely face resting on his shoulder.
"So -- what you’re saying is that you and Jase didn’t just have sex,
but made love."
It wasn’t a question, and both knew it, despite Tommy’s carefully neutral
tone.
"Yeah. It was ... oh, Tommy, I don’t know! I really can’t explain this.
It was the same as when we made love, but it was also totally different.
It certainly was .... easier, in some ways. I didn’t have to hold back,
physically or mentally. Not that I have to, with you, but ... And Jason
was so relieved ... he actually cried after that first time!"
"Jase ... crying?" That was a thought that hadn’t occurred to Tommy
before. Somehow, it felt strange to picture his best friend so emotional
-- Jason had so much control normally, even if he tended to lose
his temper in a fight every now and then. But there had always been extenuating
cicumstances before.
*Like having to have sex with someone else’s girl ... girls ... or
turn into a sex-crazed maniac does not qualify as extenuating circumstances?
Get real!*
He shook his head and tightened his arms around Kat’s shoulders, hugging
her to him.
"What .... what else happened? If you want to tell me, that is," he
added hastily, not wanting to seem merely curious.
Kat thought for a moment. She had told Tommy most of the basic facts
already; was there something else he needed to know to really understand?
A memory of how she had come on to him only a short time before assailed
her. Yes, he deserved an explanation for that -- even though he’d participatedthusthusiastically once the surprise wore off, Kat had sensed his underlying
bewilderment. The question was, could she explain her changed attitude
and uncharacteristic behaviour? She could only try.
"Tommy ... I guess you’re sort of wondering why I ... I mean, just now,
on the porch ..." She blushed furiously as she recalled how brazenly she
had come on to Tommy. At the same time Kat, with guilty pleasure, experienced
a fresh surge of arousal as she remembered how it had felt to take Tommy’s
pulsating rod into her mouth, listening to his moans.
"Yeah," he admitted, his own cheeks just as red. "I mean, it ... you
were totally awesome, and I’ve wanted that for quite some time, but ...
you always seemed so, I dunno, shy about us making love before, or experimenting
a bit ..."
"I know," Kat grinned fleetingly, then sobered again. "But Tommy ...
when I was with Jason ... his need was so great, and we did it so often
... there was no room to be embarrassed, or inhibited. I ... I guess I
lost all that pretty fast. Tanya and I talked about that some; I think
it was because it wasn’t just about me, about my desires. It was
about saving Jason from the effects of that ‘Ecstasy’ stuff. And now In’t n’t exactly go back to the way things were ... before."
Before Kat could say more, Tommy drew her closer to him.
"I’m not sure I want you to," he mumbled into her hair as he let his
warm hand glide over her back, down past her waist to cup a gently rounded
buttock. Delightedly, Kat could feel the gradual lengthening of Tommy’s
manhood against her soft belly. "I kinda like you this way."
She shifted slightly and moaned under her breath as the narrow hips
ground minutely against her own.
"I just wish it could have been me to show you all these things," Tommy
sighed, only half-seriously. He let his hands roam upwards again, to tease
and explore the soft mounds with their hardening rosy tips. His own excitement
rose another notch when Kat arched against him, offering herself to his
mouth. Before That Weekend, she would have lain back more passively, letting
him have his way. Now, she buried her fingers in his long hair, pressing
him deeper into her bosom.
"Maybe ..." she moaned more loudly as his moist lips fastened over a
throbbing nipple, "... maybe we can learn from each other?"
She laughed breathlessly as Tommy lifted his head briefly from the tempting
feast, to look at her with eyes that began to smolder with renewed desire.
He just cocked a questioning eyebrow at her as he bent once more to suckle
her breast.
"There are a few things Jase and I haven’t done," she
reassured him with a slightly naughty smile, giddy with growing excitement.
Letting her hands drift down the muscular torso, she grasped her lover’s
by now fully engorged cock in a firm yet gentle grip, causing him to draw
in a hissing breath. Kat disentangled herself from the strong arms and
pushed Tommy back against the pillows. Leaning over him, she slowly began
to pump her hand up and down his pulsating shaft as she pressed a hungry
kiss against his mouth. Tommy filled both palms with her swaying mounds
as he delighted in her sure touch. Barely able to think coherently, he
managed to gasp as she nipped at his hardened nipples.
"Like ... like wh - what?" Every nerve cell in him was rapidly drowning
in sensation as things began to heat up once more.
"Like this, for example," Kat murmured thickly as she scooted down Tommy’s
sculpted body, her mouth once more hovering only inches from his already-leaking
cock. He waited with bated breath for the first touch of the soft lips
and nearly lost it completely as the rosy tongue-tip snaked out to lick
delicately at the reddened skin. Burying his hain tin the sunny locks,
he shelved everything else as he gave himself over to his girlfriend, wanting
only to revel in her newly-discovered sensuality and hardly able to wait
for his own turn -- to do at least some of the things to her he’d read
about in magazines, fantasized about more than once ever since they’d become
lovers, and what he’d assumed so far that Kat was too shy to agree to.
As the waves of desire lapped higher, engulfing their writhing bodies,
a last thought penetrated Tommy’s pleasure-fogged mind.
*I never thought there’d come a day when I might actually be thankful
for one of Mondo’s schemes!*

***

Jason sat at a table at the Beach Club, watching Emily deal with the
last few customers. She wove agilely through the jumble of chairs and tables,
smiling occasionally in his direction. He slowly sipped his drink, thinking
of nothing in particular except how good he was starting to feel again.
His strength was gradually building up again, and regular checkups by Zordon
and Billy monitored his progress so that he was in no danger of overdoing
things. Sometimes, the Ex-Ranger chafed under the gentle restrictions,
but he tried very hard to follow his mind on this, and not let his impatience
win out. Jason was so lost in his musings, that he never noticed Emily’s
approach until she tapped him on the shoulder.
"Where’ve you been, handsome?" she asked teasingly, laughing as he flushed
slightly. It always amused her how easy it was to embarrass her boyfriend
whenever she referred to his undeniable good looks.
Jason jumped almost guiltily. His mind had involuntarily strayed back
to That Weekend, remembering the spectacular sunsets up in the mountains
he’d shared with Kat and Tanya. Of course, he couldn’t tell Emily about
that.
"Thinking about a certain lovely blue-eyed blonde," he grinned, suppressing
the small pang his not-quite lie caused him.
*Well, it’s true,* he tried to console himself. *She doesn’t
need to know that I still can’t get Kat out of my mind!*
He was rationalizing, and knew it. But it brought a delighted smile
to Emily’s face, and she slipped an arm around his waist as the two of
them wandered off down the beach, waving good-bye to Ernie in passing.
Ruthlessly, Jason shoved his memories back into the dark corner of his
mind where they belonged. Emily leaned her head against his shoulder as
they ambled along, perfectly content in his embrace. She sighed happily,
and felt the strong arm tighten around her shoulders. Both teens didn’t
talk until they reached the small outcropping of rocks, where they’d had
their
first real conversation, just before Louie Kaboom showed up. Jason
drew Emily down onto the same boulder they’d sat upon all those weeks ago.
Before he d sad say anything, she turned towards him and pulled his head
down, brushing a soft kiss against his lips.
"I missed you."
The soft confession was much gentler than she usually talked to him.
"I missed you, too," Jason replied, returning her kiss just as softly.
He knew this to be true; if his situation two weeks ago hadn’t been so
desperate, he’d never have considered going behind Emily’s back to seek
sexual relief. Mentally shaking himself, he hugged her close, tucking her
head under his chin as she snuggled into his chest. Was it his imagination,
or did Emily seem more ... gentle, somehow, less inclined to assert her
fierce independence? If that was the case, he heartily approved. While
he had always admired Emily’s sheer spunk, he’d sometimes wished she were
more attuned to his moods. What hardly anybody knew was the fact that Jason
Scott, Red and Gold Ranger, one of the fiercest warriors of Earth, had
a well-hidden strong romantic streak -- and it was hard to express that
when your girlfriend tried at every opportunity to assert the fact that
she very much was her own woman.
The blonde girl sighed happily. Meeting Jason and falling in love with
him was turning out to be a wonderful experience; he was every bit as strong
and independent-minded as Eddie had been, but he didn’t need to prove it
constantly to everybody. He just ... was. There was a maturity and
self-confidence in Jason that Emily had very rarely found in any of her
contemporaries -- but come to think of it, all of his friends were like
that. Emily felt very glad that the gang, as they referred laughingly to
themselves, accepted her so unquestioningly. For once, she could just be
herself, not needing to prove how tough she could be. She scooted deeper
into Jason’s arms as they sat, kissing occasionally, and watched the sun
slowly sink into the horizon, painting the water in vibrant pinks and oranges.
They held each other as they cuddled, enjoying their closeness mostly in
silence until Emily stirred in Jason’s arms.
"Jase?" Emily whispered his name, trying not to disturb the mellow mood.
"Hmmm?"
"Can ... can I ask you about something?"
Emily’s voice was uncertain, and a faint blush stained her tanned cheeks.
Jason watched her curiously.
"Sure. You can ask me anything you want -- I won’t tell. I thought you
knew that."
"I do; it’s just ... this is .... kinda personal."
Thoroughly intrigued, the young man sat up, to get a better look of
the pretty face. Giving her an encouraging nod, he just said quietly, "Go
ahead. If I can’t, or won’t, answer, I’ll say so."
Emily looked into her boyfriend’s dark eyes, seeing the warmth and sincerity
in them. Gathering her courage, she blurted out the question that had had
her wondering for quite some time.
"Have ... have you ever .... made love with anyone?"
Jason leaned back, slightly stunned. Of all things, he hadn’t
expected this. He felt the colour rising in his cheeks as he briefly thought
about what exactly to tell Emily. He finally settled on the truth, as far
as his experience before That Weekend was concerned.
"Yes. There was a girl in Geneva ... Bernadette ... although, it wasn’t
really making love. We were intimate, yes, but ...."
"I don’t understand," the young woman said, frowning slightly. Jason
sighed, remembering.
"Baby ... I don’t know if I can explain it properly. Bernie and I ...
we were friends, sort of ... we had a lot of interests in common, and liked
each other very much .... We had dated before, nothing heavy, but ... the
opportunity was there, we were curious, so we ended up in bed together.
It was good, but we found out pretty soon that that wasn’t what we wanted
out of our relationship. It was more than just sex, but not really enough,
either. I’m lucky that we were able to remain friends, afterwards. I don’t
regret sharing my first time with Bernie, but it should have been more
than just affection and attraction, I guess. Why?"
The blonde thought about his words.
"I ... it’s just ... I’ve been thinking about doing it lately. Since
I met you, to be exact." Emily blushed hotly and wouldn’t meet Jason’s
eyes. He hugged her, touched.
"Oh baby ... but what about your pledge? I thought you promised somewhere
to wait for marriage?"
Jason wasn’t sure what to make of Emily’s admission. Sure, he was attracted
to her, but after experiencing Tanya and Kat’s generosity and caring, he
was not at all certain he was ready for an intimate relationship right
now. Emily’s pledge had been a good deterrent from letting his fantasies
run amok. On the other hand, his hormones reared up with interest, and
he became uncomfortably aware that his shorts were getting a bit tight
in certain places.
"It ... it’s not permanent," the girl whispered, her face still buried
in his broad chest. "I gave the pledge in our church, before we moved here,
but the pastor wouldn’t accept permanent ones from anyone under sixteen.
He thought we needed at least some maturity, in order to make an
informed decision. I was only fourteen at the time, and we came here before
I could pledge again. I really wanted to ... and it was a good excuse to
give the people I was hanging out with at the time. They were into trying
out everything, especially sex, and if you didn’t want to be hassled, you
had to go along with the group. Talk about peer pressure!"
Emily sat up and brushed her hair back. She looked at Jason from under
her bangs; seeing that he was raptly listening to her, she continued.
"Anyway, those kids respected one thing only, and that was if you had
promised something. So, after I pledged at church, they stopped pressuring
me. When we moved to Angel Grove, it was just as good an excuse not to
give in to Eddie and his friends."
"Are you telling me that guy hit on you?" Jason straightened, indignant.
He didn’t care much for the other boy, although he was civil to him for
Emily’s sake when they accidentally ran into each other. True, he’d cleaned
up his act some, but there was still too much of a rebellious streak in
him for Jason’s taste.
Emily smiled at his reaction.
"Not really. He tried to persuade me, but I managed to convince him
I was serious. He left me alone after that. Mostly. Then I met you, and
..." her voice trailed off. Jason knew that his girlfriend had severed
most of her ties to the group of bikers, only seeing them occasionally
for old times’ sake. Grudgingly, he settled down again. Emily took his
hand in hers, tracing the palm with soft fingertips as she searched for
the right words to continue.
"Jason .... what I’m trying to say is ... I guess if you wanted
me to ... you know... I think I could give back my promise."
Themer mer Ranger was stunned speechless. He never would have guessed
that what Emily felt for him went that deep. A part of him couldn’t
help but be flattered and interested -- what normal young man wouldn’t
be, after such an admission from his pretty girlfriend, but another part
was frantically searching for a way out, without hurting Emily.
*I’m not ready for this! Not now! Not when I’m still hung up over
Kat! Besides, if That Weekend has shown me anything at all, it’s that I
don’t want 'just sex'! And I don’t know yet if I really love her, or not!*
Jason turned more fully towards Emily and cupped her flushed face between
both hands. Tilting it up, he kissed her very gently on the mouth, caressing
the soft lips until they opened for him. While he explored the moist warmth,
he tried to marshal his thoughts. It wasn’t easy, not with the way Emily
was responding to him, moaning softly in her throat. Just before they were
out of breath, he released the clinging lips with a last, gentle lick.
Seeing the blue eyes open again, he smiled at the dreamy expression. Jason
brushed his mouth over her cheeks, into her hair, and drew her back into
his arms. Deciding that only honesty (as far as he was able to give it)
would suffice, he thought for a moment before he began to speak.
"Emily ... baby, I don’t know what to say. No, hear me out, okay?" He
smiled reassuringly at his girlfriend before she could say anything.
"Look, first of all, I’m touched, I really am, that you would want to
be, uh, close to me like that. I know it’s a big step, especially for a
girl. But ... I can’t help you with that decision. It has to be yours;
if you feel being intimate with someone is right for you, that’s fine."
He grinned a bit sheepishly.
"However ... Emily, I don’t know if it’s the right step for us.
Not right now, anyway."
"I’m in love with you, Jase,ily ily protested, slightly hurt at what
she perceived as his rejection. "I told you so!"
"I know you did," he replied soothingly. "And I care for you, as well.
A lot, actually. And you’re pretty, and funny, and smart, and everything
I ever wanted in a girlfriend. It’s not that I don’t want you -- it’s just
that I want to wait. We’ve been dating ... how long? A couple of months?"
"Almost three," she pouted. "And you’re using what should be my lines!"
Jason had to laugh at that and hugged her close.
"So I am," he grinned, planting a teasing kiss on the tip of her nose.
She glowered at him, but her lips were twitching at the corners. Jason
became serious again.
"Emily ... being with Bernadette has shown me one thing. I want a real
emotional commitment before I make love to anybody again. I don’t
necessarily want to wait ‘til I get married, but sex alone is not enough
for me -- not anymore. I care about you, yes, but I want to be able to
say ‘I love you’ ... and mean it. We simply haven’t been together long
enough for me to be sure about that. You say you’re in love with me, and
I believe you, but is it the real thing? Enough for a potential commitment
to each other?"
It had been more the time he’d spent with Tanya and Kat that had brought
Jason to that conclusion, but again, it was something he felt he couldn’t
share with his girlfriend. Especially not now.
"I ... I don’t know," Emily admitted, reluctantly. "I think so."
"Well, why can’t we wait until we’re both sure? No pressure from both
of us, we take things as they come, and if we find out along the way that
we want to get together that way, that’s fine. If it turns out differently,
that’s fine, too. That way, we’re not rushing into anything, and need not
regret things we did or didn’t do."
The girl thought about what Jason said. He certainly had a point, but
seeing her cousin with her husband, holding their tiny daughter, had awakened
desires in her she hadn’t known before. Her cousin wasn’t that much older
than her, and she had envied her the easy intimacy, the half-hidden caresses
she exchanged with her husband. Emily longed for that, and she knew
Jason would not take advantage of her. He was far too honourable for that.
Having her wishes denied now by the very man she wanted to fulfill them,
felt like rejection. She sighed, a bit angrily.
For once, Jason could follow Emily’s sometimes convoluted thought processes
-- at least up to a point.
"Baby, I’m not rejecting you." He kissed her again. "I just want to
be very sure this is right for both of us. Let’s take our time, and when
we still feel that way about each other in a while, I’d be more than happy
to oblige you."
Emily shivered at the husky tone. In her mind, she had to admit Jason
made a lot of sense, but she’d agonized so over her decision, torn between
her awakening desires, the promise she’d made and the strong feelings she
had for her handsome boyfriend ... it wasn’t easy to step back again. However,
deep down, a tiny part of her breathed a huge sigh of relief that Jason
had made this decision for both of them, instead of immediately
taking her up on her offer. Emily grudgingly admitted to herself that it
was the right choice. Still, she couldn’t resist a parting remark, more
out of slightly injured pride than anything else.
"Have I ever told you I hate it when you’re right?"
"Repeatedly," Jason grinned, relieved that he'd averted a possible fight.
He settled back against the sun-warmed rock, drawing Emily across his lap.
Tracing her features with a broad, warm fingertip, he turned serious dark
eyes on her.
"Emily, I want very much to make love with you." Somewhat to his surprise,
it was the truth. "If ... when we’re both ready, I’ll be honoured
if you really want me to be the first for you. But please, let’s take this
slow and wait a while yet?"
She looked at Jason for a long while, then nodded reluctantly.
"It ... it’s just not easy to wait," she admitted. "The way you make
me feel when we kiss ..." Emily blushed hotly.
"I guess it’s about the same when I’m holding you like this," Jason
conceded ruefully. "You’re so pretty ... at times, it’s very hard not to
do something like this." Very carefully, he placed a hand over her breast,
squeezing gently.
Emily sucked in a sharp breath at the sensation, feeling her nipple
contract and harden. She stiffened instinctively, and Jason removed his
hand in a gentle caress.
"You see? I don’t think you’re quite as ready as you thought
you’d be."
The absence of that warm pressure on her body was at the same time reassuring
and disappointing.
"How ... how will I know when I’m ready?" she asked in a small voice.
"I dunno. We can only wait and see, and maybe try a little, every now
and then. Okay?"
"O-okay."
The two on ton the warm sand, holding each other, just looking into
the other’s eyes. After a few moments, Jason chuckled and drew Emily closer
to his chest.
"Meanwhile, why don’t we go with what we’re already comfortable with?"
With that, he captured the soft lips with his own and began to explore
her mouth once more, delighting in the soft sounds and sweet surrender
Emily granted him as they kissed, until darkness settled around them. Walking
home hand in hand, they felt mellow and content -- even if a slight element
of frustration had managed to creep in. They were healthy teenagers,
after all, and common sense and resolve only went so far. Saying goodbye
to Emily on her doorstep with a long, thorough kiss goodnight, Jason made
his way to his parents’ house, thankful that at least one of his ghosts
had been laid to rest. He felt a new sense of comfort and security in his
relationship with Emily, and for the first time in days, he’d been able
to banish images of the Pink Ranger from his mind. He knew he wasn’t quite
over Kat yet, but his experience with Emily this afternoon gave him hope
that he could let go ... eventually.
*Now if I only had that talk with Adam and Tommy behind me yet!*
Jason sighed as he unlocked the front door, went up to his room and
flopped down on his bed. Hands laced behind his head, he stared at the
ceiling. He was very much tempted to just let the matter lie, but he was
well aware of the underlying strain between him and his friends. The former
Ranger knew that clearing the air was the only way to regain their former
ease with oth other, and he wanted that above all. Jason missed his closeness
with Tommy especially. He couldn’t help remembering Tommy offering himself
to him; it still filled him with a feeling of awe and gratitude. However,
the way things had turned out, he doubted he could have responded to the
Red Ranger -- or Tommy to him -- in the fashion necessary to really break
the potion’s hold over his system. In retrospect, Jason could envision
himself taking Tommy -- he flushed a bit guiltily at the rush of arousal
the image still brought to his mind -- but he had a hard time picturing
the two of them just exploring each other, taking their time to evoke responses,
caressing warm, damp skin with hands and lips ...
With a mental shake, Jason let go of his musings; they only served to
arouse him further, and since his nocturnal fantasies and dreams were more
than sufficient for the moment, he didn’t want to provoke his subconscious
into something he was not at all prepared to handle. Deciding to leave
well enough alone, he prepared for bed, slipped under the covers and soon
fell asleep, his dreams for once populated not only by Tanya and/or Kat,
but also the mischievous face of Emily as she, too bent over him with seduction
in mind.
