Overland Park, KS, Tuesday Afternoon (Late July)

[vanillajello]

"Woah, what's with the bouncing, princess?" Charmaine asked, looking up from her work on some new tiaras, as Kate came down the stairs seemingly exuding far more energy than she'd exhibited going up them some time earlier.

"Oh, nothing," Kate replied, mock coyly. The grinning probably ruined the effect, but she cared not. "Hey, Mom's still coming to pick you up for that doctor thing?"

"Unless she's turned into someone else, yes," her aunt replied. "Why?"

Yeah, Kate was still grinning. "No reason." Again, it wasn't really believable. She bounced her way to the kitchen.

Charmaine shook her head and went back to her glue and sequins. "Whatever you say, Katie."

"Even if we have a penchant for getting caught being...together by your family?" Bod asked, stepping closer to her now and smiling. "I might embarrass you into avoiding me."

[vanillajello]

"You could never do that," she assured him in a murmur when he moved closer again. "We can learn to control ourselves better. Or my family will just have to deal."

[therewaslife]

"I honestly don't know if I can control myself around you," Bod admitted, reaching for a light kiss. "I really don't know if I can control myself around you when I've been separated for you like I have."

[vanillajello]

"Less than a week," she replied, catching his lip between her teeth and worrying it there before releasing it. "Tsk, poor self-control."

Pot, meet kettle.

[therewaslife]

"I'm pretty sure you nearly tackled me when you saw me earlier," he mumbled, wrapping an arm around her and pulling himself closer. "And you told me to come here right now. You remember that, don't you?"

[vanillajello]

"Oh yeah," Kate said, as if she was just now remembering that. "I think I did. Yeah, I definitely think I did those things." She snagged another kiss form him. "Hmh."

[therewaslife]

"I love you and you make my self control non-existent," Bod said, smiling against her lips. "That's a compliment. I've got your ring on for many reasons."

[vanillajello]

"To remind you of what you can't have when I'm not around?" she mumbled, against his lips. "To make you pine for me harder, and yes, I also mean that in a dirty way."

[therewaslife]

"I don't think pining can be dirty," Bod decided, shaking his head and pushing her backwards towards whatever might lay behind her. "How do you make pining dirty?"

[vanillajello]

The closest thing was the wall, in all its muted '70s glory. Kate leaned back against it willingly.

"I think you pined for me dirtily when we were broken up," she said. "I think it's very easy to pine in a dirty way."

[therewaslife]

"Aaah," he said right before he settled his lips on her neck. He inhaled deeply and then kissed the slope of her neck lazily. "I didn't realize you counted that as pining."

[vanillajello]

"I'm totally counting that," she sighed, closing her eyes. "Totally, no doubt about it. It was just... sexual pining. Pining through sexual frustration."

[therewaslife]

"All right," he said and licked a line down her neck and to where her shirt started. "That was pining, I agree. I was very -- that, yes. I wanted you badly."

[vanillajello]

Kate let out a quiet little moan and got her hands on his hips again, to tug him more against herself. "And do you want me badly now?"

[therewaslife]

"I want you so badly now," Bod murmured against her neck, lips still pressing open mouthed kisses along her neck. "So badly."

[vanillajello]

"That's... great." He made it hard to think of a better word. Really hard. Her nails pressed into his sides through his shirt. "What are you gonna do about it?"

[therewaslife]

"Is what I'm doing right now not what you want?" Bod wondered, letting his lips find the line of her jaw now. "Too little?"

[vanillajello]

"Just prompting you to say thing," she murmured, tipping her head back against the wall. "But I might want more. I might need it."

[therewaslife]

"You want me to talk?" Bod asked, nipping at her neck and pressing his hips into hers. "My mouth's a bit busy at the moment. You should talk."

[vanillajello]

"What about?" she teased, even if her voice waivered a bit at that press. "Babyproofing the house?"

[therewaslife]

"No," he said and suppressed a laugh against her neck. "I'm sure you can find something more relevant to talk about all things considered. You're a smart girl."

[vanillajello]

"Am I?" Oh, she so was. "Ooh, oh, you want me to talk dirty, right? Something abut, like... how much I've been wishing you were here with me when I'm all alone in our room at night?"

[therewaslife]

"Something like that, yes," he murmured, pulling at the neck of her shirt so he could get his mouth a little further down on her chest. "That's...just perfect."

[vanillajello]

"Perfect," Kate sighed. "Okay. I've missed you. A lot. I've wished you were here because the sofabed is lonely with just me in it, and when I can't sleep I have nothing to do but to imagine you beside me, or above me, or underneath me..."

[therewaslife]

"And does that help you get through the night?" Bod prompted, licking another patch across her chest and over to her pulse point. "Do you imagine me just sleeping with you?"
