“Y. You. You wan… want me to see… see you in. In nothing…?” he asked shakily.
Now it was her turn to blush, looking a bit shocked. Her mind shut down, going in reverse and replaying what she had said. In her innocent mind she hadn’t really seen it but with his assumption she could, feeling really embarrassed.
Then her mind sped up like a locomotive, running through thoughts faster than light. See her in nothing? Did he want that? Did she? Didn’t that mean..? But she was scared of such an act. But this was Jack, he wouldn’t hurt her. Was she ready for something like that? Why were her hands shaking? Could they even do that with her having casts on her legs? Would he enjoy it? Oh god. Was it too fast? Could she do it?
Too many thoughts. She ended up putting her hands to her head to stop the tirade, trying her best to explain. “I-I..meant..your..work shirt…instead this..! S-Sorry! I mean maybe one day! T-The other thing..b-but I mean..with my casts I d-don’t know and…I-I’m scared and…! I mean w-with you it’d be s-special…but…I-I w-want to but…”
Shut up Katelynn!
He sat there watching her, his own heart hammering within his chest. The very idea of doing… that… with Katelynn was enough to turn his skin from blue to purple in a split second. Now Jack was a polite young man, but he was also an honest, healthy, in love young man.
Jack would be lying to himself if he denied that he had thought of her like that. Of her hands touching him in ways nobody else had ever done. Her lips against his, her body pressing against his in those wonderful ways he thought he’d never know. How he had touched himself to these thoughts.
They had recently stopped, though. She was hurt, now. She was in casts. And was going to be in a wheelchair for over half a year. He doubted they could do anything like that. A part of him screamed in frustration at that. He had a girlfriend. A beautiful girlfriend who allowed him to kiss her, to hold her hands and hold her to him and their deep kisses the day before had only reminded him how new they were… but also how nothing would happen.
He swallowed dryly before reaching out, and touched her leg gently.
“I-it’s o-okay..! W-we don’t have t-to think a-a-about that s-sort of th-thing for a l-long time…! Y-you ha-have to g-get better, K-katelynn I.. I would never m-make you do something y-you’re not r-r-ready for..! I said w-we would g-g-go slow a-and I m-meant that…”
