Turning on the water to a gentle stream of warm water, Katelynn stepped in and let the warm water trickle around her body, one hand still holding Jack’s. She turned to press her back against the cold of the wall and looked up at him shyly, hoping she looked like a delicious meal for him to come get.

Water gently trinkled from her hair and across her skin, biting down on her lower lip and waiting for him to come get her.

He watched the water flow down her body, mesmerized. When she looked at him that way, it as all the invitation Jack needed. 

He started slowly at first, reaching out and caressing her cheek, then pulling her into another deep kiss. As their bodies pressed together, his half-hard cock nudged against her thigh, and Jack moaned softly against her mouth. There was no need to rush things, though, he reminded himself. They could take as long as they wished, re-learning each other, just enjoying this. 

Still kissing Katelynn, the blue man let his arms slide around her once again. His hands moved down her back, teasing down her spine, to the delightful curve of her ass. For some moments he just held her there, caressing the soft flesh as he kissed her, enjoying the feel of the warm shower running down his own back. 

Her breath hitched in her throat at every kiss and caress, melting against Jack’s body. How many nights she had laid alone in her bed without her love’s warmth and now it was returned to her. She almost felt it was just a dream.

Hands traveling up his sides and feeling every crevice of his skin, she ran her fingers almost ever inch of him, lingering for a few moments on his neck before moving up to gently caress his ears, moaning against his mouth.

“Jack..” she sighed between kisses, her body hungrily gliding along his and teasing his cock a bit.

“Nnnh!” She really had no idea what she did to him, did she? When her body slid against him, it took a great deal of willpower for Jack not to simply rub his arousal against her hip, and he mentally scolded himself for his lack of control. The feel of Katelynn’s hands on his oh-so-sensitive neck and ears wasn’t making it easy, either. 

As wonderful as her touches felt, Jack needed more. Hoping desperately that she wouldn’t think he was being too pushy, he caught one of her hands and gently, but insistently, guided it to his cock, silently begging for her to touch him there. His other hand slid up and caressed her breast, massaging the soft weight as his thumb brushed her nipple.

This time her tears were of happiness as she turned her head to kiss the skin of his head, wondering how much more love she could fit. And it was simply because she was back with him.

“I’ve missed you too, Jack,” she responded softly, still planting plenty of kisses across his skin as her fingers began lifting his shirt to help him take it off. She could feel their connection growing, could feel the awkwardness melt away the more they touched and kissed and was all the more happy for it.

Her heart felt ready to burst with how full of love it was.

With his shirt off she helped him take his pants off, her lips like butterfly wings across the skin of his chest as she planted kisses there. She just couldn’t get enough of him and despite her fumbling fingers and nervous anticipation of being with him intimately, it all just felt so right.

Looking up at his eyes and taking his hand, she began leading him into the shower.

It didn’t take long at all for Jack to shed his clothes, especially with Katelynn helping him. Thanks to her kisses, and the feel of her hands on his body, his cock was already beginning to stir to attention as he stepped into the shower after her. 

Watching her, his eyes roaming over her lovely, familiar curves, it was tempting to just take her in his arms right now. But Katelynn seemed to have something in mind, and Jack was happy to follow her lead.

It sparked and woke up something inside of her like the moment Belle kissed the Beast-turned-prince for the first time almost as if sparkles were swirling around them and joining them closer together. Her lips glided along his easily enough, humming in happiness and wishing she could get even closer to him.

But her fingers were already traveling under his shirt to spider around the skin of his stomach, feeling the hair around his bellybutton and tracing up to his chest. He was so soft and warm and she wanted nothing more than to feel that skin pressed even more against hers.

Breaking the kiss just enough to where she could talk but still feel his lips against hers, she panted and stared up at him with eyes clouded over. “…D-Do you want to join me..?” she dared ask, thighs rubbing together.

Jack hadn’t given much thought to going beyond simply kissing her. In the weeks since Katelynn had left, in his misery and loneliness, his libido had dwindled to almost nothing. Thinking about love and sex made him think of her, so he’d pushed those thoughts away – with his bleak mood, it had been easy. 

But now that she was back, he could feel desire surging up inside him, like sap pulsing through a tree and bringing it back to life after winter. He groaned against her lips as she slid her hand under his shirt, and his skin trembled under her touch. When her thighs rubbed against his, he had to resist the urge to nudge his hips against her. 

“Y-yes.” He was embarrassed at how whimpery his voice sounded. “Oh god, yes.” He leaned in and kissed her neck, whispering against her skin, “I’ve missed you so much, Katelynn.” 

This time her tears were of happiness as she turned her head to kiss the skin of his head, wondering how much more love she could fit. And it was simply because she was back with him.

Of this knew she oh so well, seeing how he had waited for her while she tried her best to break free of the spell, fighting her evil self every moment of every day so she could return to him. Smiling, she stepped forward to cuddle her body against his, forgetting she was naked.

But perhaps that was a good thing to kick start things.

Reaching up, she planted a hungry kiss on his lips, breathing through her nose since her mouth was too busy. Her fingers laxed and allowed the towel to slowly slip off, revealing her skin to him though she was too busy concentrating on other things to notice.

As soon as her body was against his, Jack’s arms were around her, holding her close. Oh god, she was just as warm as he remembered, and he let out a happy sound somewhere between a whine and a moan as she kissed him. He barely noticed it when the towel fell away – all of his focus was on Katelynn herself. 

He returned the kiss, softly at first, but then harder and more hungrily as his eagerness took over. His tongue traced along her lips, remembering the feel and taste of her. It was hard to breathe, but he didn’t have the presence of mind to slow down, not when all he wanted to do was hold her and never let go.

Giggling nervously to hide her embarrassment, she said, “R-Right, silly me…it was right there..” Had she hurt him by being embarrassed? Of course they would be slightly awkward around each other but that was what she was hoping to fix. But did he even want it?

Leaning down closer to him until her body bumped his slightly, Katelynn hoped her blushing cheeks weren’t a dead give away. “Sorry I had to make you get up,” she whispered near his ear, feeling a tingling sensation between her legs.

“Really, it’s okay …” Jack’s voice trailed off as he felt her warm breath against his ear. A shiver ran through him – had she forgotten how incredibly sensitive his ears were? He turned back around, soap in hand, and saw that telltale blush in her cheeks. The one that always appeared when she was trying to …

Oh. 

Maybe it’s not too soon. 

Jack set the soap down on the counter. A lavender blush rose in his own cheeks as he opened his arms to, hoping, praying, that he wasn’t reading her wrong. “I’d do anything for you, Katelynn.” That line had sounded much more romantic in his head, but he couldn’t take it back now.

Taking his surprise in a negative sense, she ducked away from his gaze even more so he wouldn’t see her flesh, reaching out for a towel to cover up. “S-Sorry..” she whispered, feeling ashamed now for feeling this way. Still their kiss earlier had sparked something in her she hadn’t felt in a while, love that swirled around desire for him.

Craving intimacy in order to be further connected to him – she missed it.

“I-I’ll just—”

Jack couldn’t keep from wincing as she ducked away and covered herself. Even though he knew he’d probably just surprised her, it still hurt to see her turn away from him, even now. He quickly spoke up, trying to reassure her. 

“N-no, don’t be sorry! I just … I wasn’t expecting …” He felt like a horny, embarrassed young boy again as he tried not to stare at her. He fought the urge to lick his lips, and failed. “Soap. Right. The soap’s down here.” He scrambled under the sink for it. 

She’s not ready for that. She only just came home, only just agreed to be with me again. It’s too soon.

She doubted he really wanted all the details, she thought with a wince and peeked her head out of the bathroom door since she was naked from the neck down. “All right but um..” she blushed, gnawing on her bottom lip. “….can you grab a bar of soap for me..? The one here is too small…”

Her heart was pounding, wondering why she was making an excuse for him to come. She was so torn between wishing to touch him and wondering if they were even ready. It felt like their first date all over again.

“Um, all right.” Jack was a little puzzled by the request. They kept new bars of soap under the sink – Katelynn knew that. But, given everything they’d just been through, he wasn’t going to brush her off with a “get it yourself”. He settled Roxy down on the couch (the dog gave a grunt of disapproval at being removed from her master’s lap), and headed into the bathroom. 

“I think we still have -” He froze like a deer in the headlights.

Oh. Katelynn was naked. Naked Katelynn. Right in front of him. Jack tried to tell himself that it wasn’t important – he’d seen her like this countless times – but it had been so long …

Taking his surprise in a negative sense, she ducked away from his gaze even more so he wouldn’t see her flesh, reaching out for a towel to cover up. “S-Sorry..” she whispered, feeling ashamed now for feeling this way.

His question caused her to drop the shampoo bottle in shock as she had been collecting everything in her arms to begin her shower. Giving a gentle cry of surprise as she picked it up and tried balancing everything in her arms, Katelynn’s cheeks warmed and she let out a deep breath.

“U-Um!” she stammered, unsure of how to begin. Surely ‘Oh yeah we just rescued Grace nothing big’ didn’t sound right. Putting everything away in the tub, Katelynn began peeling off her catsuit.

“…It was just..helping everyone to rescue Grace,” she managed to whisper out though the echo in the bathroom made her voice sound louder than she intended.

“It … what?” Jack exclaimed. He didn’t sound angry or upset. Far from it – he was shocked, but he was also very, very impressed. He knew Katelynn had always wanted to help the city’s supers with their work, and now it sounded like she’d found a way?

He settled Roxy into his lap. “Once you’re ready, please, tell me about it!”

Her catsuit had been crinkling when she moved but she had not paid it any mind any more than one would listen to outside traffic. But now that he pointed it out she peered down at herself and wrapped her arms around herself.

“Y-Yes..” She whispered, licking her lips. “Sorry I’m..such a mess..it was..well..we all did our best.”

Releasing herself gently from Jack’s arms, she rose from the couch and walked to the bedroom for clothes, wondering if her bathing supplies were all still there and if Jack was forced to look at them. She peered back at him. “I’ll be quick..and maybe we can just..relax and watch a movie?” She needed a sense of normalcy after everything.

“O-of course,” Jack replied. “T-take all the time you need. Your, um, your stuff’s still in the bathroom,” he added. “I moved it under the sink, but it’s all there.” It had been too hard for him to look at it (not to mention it got in the way), but he hadn’t been able to bring himself to get rid of it, either. Like the ring, he’d kept it as a silent hope that Katelynn would come back. 

Now that the people were done talking, Roxy came nosing over to the couch. With a smile, Jack lifted the little pug into his arms, and called to Katelynn, “A movie sounds good. And maybe you could tell me what you were up to just now?” The way she’d talked about it, we all did our best, made him think it wasn’t something bad, and he was genuinely curious.

She had nearly forgotten all about it she admitted to herself as her entire face colored in embarrassment. It was such a sweet, albeit bittersweet gesture. Lifting her hand to take it from him gently, she stated down at the beautiful ring and the promise it meant.

“I will,” she whispered, tears coming to her eyes even more as she smiled at him. Slipping the ring back on her finger, she couldn’t believe this was happening. The familiar weight was assuring as she twirled the ring around. “Because I still want it all with you. To have a life with you and only you.”

Looking up at him, she gave him a sweet smile.

He watched, love and hope welling up in a warm glow inside him, as she slipped the ring back on. And when she gave him that sweet smile, Jack pulled her into his arms again. “Then that’s what we’ll have, Katelynn,” he whispered against her hair. 

The two of them cuddled like that for a while longer. Nothing was said – nothing needed to be. They had been apart for too long, and simply wanted to be as close as they could, just for now. 

Eventually, though, Jack realized that her clothes were still torn, and she was grimy with soot and dirt. “Um … I guess you’d probably like to get cleaned up?” he asked, with an embarrassed smile. 

Her catsuit had been crinkling when she moved but she had not paid it any mind any more than one would listen to outside traffic. But now that he pointed it out she peered down at herself and wrapped her arms around herself.
