Their walk back was mostly in silence, dotted now and then with talks about the snow, about how the roads were and if it was still this thick back in Metro City. It wasn’t ten to twelve when the bus pulled up early, making it a good idea they’d left as early as they did. Just as before their bags were placed in the carriage area, and they found their seats towards the back.

This time Jack sat at the window seat, and Katelynn at the isle seat. He wrapped his arm around her gently, pulling her against him, and settled his other hand on top of hers. “So. Shall we do this again one day?” he asked as the bus pulled back onto the road.

She nodded against him, enjoying his closeness as she watched the scenery pass by through the window. Nature was passing her by and soon the only trees she’d see were those that dotted sidewalks or were in the Metro City parks.

“For sure..I really had a lot of fun Jack,” she said, looking up at him. “Every second of this trip is now a treasured memory to me. We should plan something spontaneous again sometime.”

She wondered if mentioning her intention to take him to New York City would ruin things. She was still trying to figure out prices and such so she failed to mention it.

“We should.” he agreed gently, stroking his thumb against her hand gently. “Though planning a spontaneous moment kind of defeats the purpose… b-but yes. I agree. Again, most definitely.” he smiles at her softly, before looking back out at the world passing them by.

After that lovely moment the two spent the morning packing up. Disposable food was put in the compost heap, which was luckily all they’d bought. But they did make sandwiches first, to last them the trip back to Metro City. They locked up the house but, for a moment, they made their way to the edge of Gail’s field. They didn’t go up to the remembrance stone, or the trees. They just stood at the edge.

“Bye Gail.” Jack said quietly. “I’ll… try not to be so long between my next visit and now.” he told the field, holding Katelynn’s hand gently.

Squeezing his hand gently in hers, she looked off into the field herself, expression serious. “I’ll take very good care of your brother for you Gail..always..okay?” she said softly, looking up at him. “We’ll return sometime soon to visit you again. Your brother loves you so much..”

She swore by these words, more so by the one’s about taking care of him, but also wishing to make him happy, no matter what happened to them in the future.

They stood there a moment longer before heading out, Katelynn’s heart growing slightly heavy.

He thanked her and used the robe to soak up the wet of his body, and grabbed a towel to dry his head and checked his beard. He had a mustache slowly coming in, since he hadn’t shaved in a few days. He left it alone, and soon joined her in the bedroom.

Jack went to where he had laid his clothes out and began pulling them on. “Well I don’t know about you but I’m super squeaky clean now.” he smiled, hoping to diffuse the slight sexual tension from the bathroom.

She had been about to exit the room where her clothes were, looking over at him and smiling. “Clean and also sexy,” she replied before blushing.

She exited the room to go get her clothes, finding some jeans to wear and hurried to change, almost wished she could smack her own head against a wall.

“It would help on water bills.” he said gently, but also with a small smile on his face. “Okay. You should rinse your back now…” Jack said gently. And he should rinse himself too. The water was already beginning to grow cool.

Quickly running herself through the water, Katelynn tried to escape the confines of the shower, reaching over for her robe and putting it on. She grabbed his robe from where he had hung it and passed it over to him, her eyes taking in his naked form one last time, appreciating the view of his chest and the tattoos she loved.

“Here you go,” she said before exiting the bathroom to give him privacy and find her clothes, grabbing the panties from last night on her way.

He thanked her and used the robe to soak up the wet of his body, and grabbed a towel to dry his head and checked his beard. He had a mustache slowly coming in, since he hadn’t shaved in a few days. He left it alone, and soon joined her in the bedroom.

“Of course not.” he replied gently, smiling down at her as the water now washed over the two of them. He lifted his hand, the one without the sponge, and gently traced his fingers down her jaw gently. “You’re m-making this the best shower ever.”

Love had definitely made her a slave to this man, her legs weakening with every touch he gave her. Her eyes searched his as if telling him how he was affecting her, not completely in the sexual way but in something more deeper, spiritual, loving. His touches always felt like sparks against her skin.

“W-We should take showers..together more often then..?”

“It would help on water bills.” he said gently, but also with a small smile on his face. “Okay. You should rinse your back now…” Jack said gently. And he should rinse himself too. The water was already beginning to grow cool.

“You’re welcome sweetie.” Jack whispered back, voice barely audible over the sound of the running water. He gently brushed a few loose hairs off of her back as he washed further down her spine, dabbing the sponge against her lower back. “An-anything for you.”

Her shivering increased when his hand lowered, her hands tugging on her wet hair as she bit her lower lip. She tried to focus on the fear that the hot water might run out and turned to look at him slightly. “I-I’m not taking away from your shower?” she asked softly.

“Of course not.” he replied gently, smiling down at her as the water now washed over the two of them. He lifted his hand, the one without the sponge, and gently traced his fingers down her jaw gently. “You’re m-making this the best shower ever.”

Oh her back was beautiful as the rest of her was. Jack hadn’t seen it properly before like this. Her skin was flawless, smooth, creamy and just beautiful to look at. Jack took the sponge from her gently, and rubbed it against the soap before he began to gently wash her back. 

Her breath got caught in her throat as she shivered slightly at feeling his hands move against her back. She hadn’t know her back was a sensitive area but apparently it was.

She closed her eyes, trying not to be embarrassed. “T-Thank you, love..” she whispered.

“You’re welcome sweetie.” Jack whispered back, voice barely audible over the sound of the running water. He gently brushed a few loose hairs off of her back as he washed further down her spine, dabbing the sponge against her lower back. “An-anything for you.”

She had just missed witnessing him washing himself down there. Oh god how awkward that would have been; turn around, find your boyfriend touching himself with a soapy hand. Thank God she didn’t see it, he would have died of embarrassment. Jack rinsed his hands beneath the water for a moment before she took her turn with it.

“D. Do you want me t-to wash your back?” he offered awkwardly, since. Well. Isn’t that what lovers do?”

She looked over at him, slightly surprised by the request a moment, not expecting it all. He had grown so much braver, it made her feel proud. Smiling, she nodded and handed him her sponge gently, moving her hair forward to give him access to her back.

Oh her back was beautiful as the rest of her was. Jack hadn’t seen it properly before like this. Her skin was flawless, smooth, creamy and just beautiful to look at. Jack took the sponge from her gently, and rubbed it against the soap before he began to gently wash her back.

Jack nodded. “Well I don’t have hair to wash so I’m pretty quick in here…” he admitted as he reached for the soap dispenser and picked up the bar and began to lather it in his hands before he began to lather up his head and neck first, before moving downwards as the water just missed him since it was pointless to lather then rinse away immediately.

She kept her back to him, still blushing badly, hair sticking to her body to fit her form and the slight curves she has. Her waist was way too thin, she mused, as she lathered up her stomach up her chest. She felt too nervous to talk, trying to ignore his body so close to hers and if it hadn’t been for the water she figured he would have heard her heart in the silence.

Despite the awkwardness and shyness on her part, it still felt nice, having him so close like this.

Looking over at him quickly to see him washing himself, she moved quickly under the water to wash the soap off, putting her head under it one more time to rinse out any remaining conditioner.

“Okay. I. I understand.” Jack said as he slowly pulled his father’s dressing gown off of him, and hung it on the peg hanging on the door. He takes a deep breath, forces his libido to calm down before turning and walking over to the shower door. He sees her form through the frosted glass and that hardly helps his situation but damn it. No. Be calm. Be cool.

He opens the door gently, and steps in besides her.

She stands there shyly, seeing his naked form before her in all his beautiful glory, and lets out a shaky breath, giving him room under the water. “I uh..I already washed my hair..I just need my body..but you go ahead.” She reaches for her sponge and rubs it over her body, down her arm and sides, trying not to look at him for too long in case it made him uncomfortable.

Jack nodded. “Well I don’t have hair to wash so I’m pretty quick in here…” he admitted as he reached for the soap dispenser and picked up the bar and began to lather it in his hands before he began to lather up his head and neck first, before moving downwards as the water just missed him since it was pointless to lather then rinse away immediately.
