It’s far less bouncy. Morgan: *stalkhug * Readers/Reviewers: The ducks appreciate the fact y’all are still reading and reviewing. J I’m going to free up some room in the archives soon and just do a YSI posting of the zip files.
Jono paused, uncertain as to whether he should just push the door open or knock; it stood ajar, a sliver of bright light spilling out of Paige’s room and into the hallway. He rarely ventured to this part of the mansion, preferring to stick to his secret places in the basement, moving around the grounds after everyone—or almost everyone—was asleep. Being in the upstairs hall made him feel strange, like he was doing something wrong and was on the verge of getting caught. He marshaled his wherewithal and wished he could take a deep breath, deciding in a fit of propriety to knock on Paige’s door instead of just push it the rest of the way open. He stepped forward and raised his fist, freezing in place as the door swung open, the toe of his boot bumping the wood.
Paige did not notice him standing there. She had her earphones on and her back to him, fussing over something on the bed. Bare except for the scrap of cotton that served as panties, Paige’s tan skin was a stark contrast to the white fabric, the slight curve of her hips and indentation of her spine making Jono’s eyes go wide. He had seen her in her bathing suit before, he had seen her in her skin tight uniform before, but the privacy of this moment, the unaware and carefree way she was moving around her bed, entirely at ease… He let his gaze drop to her feet, noting the way her toes curled into the thick carpet positioned at the foot of her bed, the shifting of her weight from side to side. He slowly moved up her legs, the smoothly muscled length of her calf, the few freckles dotting the back of her knees as she swayed to whatever she was listening to on her old portable CD player. He knew for a fact it skipped and sometimes just cut out entirely but she seemed, by the looks of things, to be having a lucky night with it. She moved as if she were about to turn and Jono stiffened, jerking back, but all Paige did was reach for something on the far edge of the bed, bending at the waist to reach it. He closed his eyes for a moment, hoping to clear his vision of the sight of her long legs, slightly parted, and her upturned backside as she stretched. He should not think such things, he ordered himself. He had no right, no matter how she felt about him. He could not be the person she needed; he had known that for a long time. And it wasn’t just her, he continued in his mental rant, not thinking of how he could barely make out the hint of the cleft between her thighs, marking her sex. _I might be dead, _ he thought bitterly, _but apparently that only applies to ninety nine percent of me… _ He realized, with a sick certainty, that it was beyond too late to make his presence known now. It was obvious that he had been watching her—the door was wide open and if he tried to shut it, it would surely garner her attention.
“See something interesting?” Rahne murmured at his side, making Jono straighten sharply. “Don’t worry,” she snickered. “I’ll not tell a soul.” She poked his arm hard, jabbing her nail into the bandages there. “Just step back an’ I’ll cover for ye.” She shouldered Jono aside and strode into Paige’s room which she had been sharing with Theresa until the other girl moved. “PAIGE!”
“Huh?” Paige jerked off her headphones and flushed brightly, grabbing up her uniform from the bed and using it to cover her bare breasts. “Geez, Rahne! Knock first!” She could barely make out Jono in the hall behind the Scottish mutant but he did not seem to be looking at her at all. Disappointment warred with relief; she had thought of being with him pretty much since the first time she met him. She had a mental file cabinet packed full of fantasies and day dreams about the different things she would like to do and have done—most of which relied purely on imagination since she had no idea how…equipped…he was since his mutation manifested. _I should’ve worn my black panties, _ she thought in a fit of pique, her cheeks reddening even further at the notion of Jono seeing her in the underwear her mother had deemed unfit for a good girl to wear. Rahne was talking but Paige was not listening, instead imagining Jono’s reaction to said unmentionables, or what she wanted his reaction to be. She could easily pretend, when she thought of it, that she was a hundred times more confident than she really felt around him, that she could easily stand before him and unbutton her shirt, slide her jeans down her hips and stand before him, bare breasted and wearing the black cotton and lace panties that really were not that provocative, at least not compared to some of the other underthings she had seen on laundry duty. She still wondered who owned the metallic blue and silver tiger striped g-string. Belatedly, she realized that Jono had stepped into the room and she was still standing, uniform with it’s broken zipper that she had been trying to fix clutched over her chest. “Gah! Let me get dressed!” She ran into the half bath before either of the others could say anything.
“What’re you doing tonight, Jono?” Rahne asked without missing a beat, a smile playing at the corners of her lips.
_* What? * _ Jono’s head spun with the sudden shift in his mood. He had been almost angry, stalking to Paige’s room to demand she tell him everything, that she hide nothing from him. He would use her feelings for him if he had to, he had thought. Lust quickly sublimated that, seeing Paige exposed but hidden doing more for his long-docile libido than any amount of daydreams and guilty trips to the stash of magazines under his bed had done. Now he was well into confused, trying to think of anything but where he wanted his hands to be right now, damning his broken body for what it meant he could not do, what he could not give.
“I’m running away from home and taking you with me, Chuckles. Pack a bag.”
