Shadows of the Past

Feels Like Home

The soft glow of the rising sun was the first thing Hangman saw when he opened his eyes. He hadn't realized how much he missed the smell of y/n's scent mixing with the fabric softener that she always used. He could hear Gunner softly snoring on his bed in the corner and took the time to stretch in the otherwise quiet of the room. He moved his eyes around the space, finally allowing them to settle on the door to the bathroom that was slightly ajar. Y/n had been moving around inside with only her bra and duty pants on preparing herself for the work day. She looked up into the mirror as she was running her fingers through her hair when their eyes met in the reflection.

Jakes breath caught in his throat as he allowed his eyes to roam over her body, he knew he should look away but it had been so long since he'd seen her like this that he couldn't tear his eyes away. She turned and moved away from the mirror and just before he cursed himself for looking at her she appeared in the open space of the door frame, pulling the door open and making her way into the room. Jake sat up on the edge of the bed as she made her way over to him without breaking eye contact. He had just contemplated opening his mouth to utter an apology when she suddenly seized his face between her small hands, pressing her lips to his in a heated kiss. Hangman was frozen for a split second before his hands moved up to grasp at her hips, pulling her to straddle his lap. The two engaged in the most delicate dance of give and take, neither trying to gain the upper hand just trying to make up for 3 years worth of distance in one kiss.

As her hands reached up and grasped at the hair on the nape of his neck, he stood with her in his arms and turned to allow himself to climb up the bed with her still attached to him. He gently deposited her onto her back on their bed without separating their lips for a single second. He pulled back for just a moment to look at her, studying her face like it was the last thing he'd ever get to see. He paused and looked at her with an expression that said if she wanted to stop all she had to do was say the word, but instead she reached up to his dog tags that were dangling just above her chest tangling her fingers in the delicate chain and giving them a careful tug to draw his lips back to hers.

He was in absolutely no rush, wanting this moment to last as long as possible. He carefully removed each article of clothing she still wore, taking the time to kiss each new patch of skin that was exposed to him. He savored the little sounds and twitches she let slip when he encountered some of her more sensitive spots, and she was surprised that even after all this time he remembered just where to touch her to drive her the most wild. By the time all clothing had been shed, he looked at her once more making sure that this was what she wanted and he was met with her breathy sigh,
"Please Jake, I need you." He carefully lined himself up with her entrance and pushed in as gently as ever, giving her plenty of time to adjust to him before moving. A deep groan left his throat at the sight of her throwing her head back in pleasure as she was becoming familiar with the feeling of him inside her after so long apart. He set a generous pace, just enough without being too much. He could tell when she was getting close, her moans had intensified as all her inhibitions seemed to disappear once she teetered on the edge. She desperately whimpered out his name with all the emotions and sensations seeming to be coming to the surface all together for them both. He quietly shushed her and ran his fingers through her hair, moving it back out of her face pushing his own impending release to the side. With a press of his lips against the soft skin of her neck he whispered to her,
"Its okay honey. Just let go, I'm right here baby..I've got you." Her breath shuddered in time with her body spasming around him, clenching him in a way no woman ever had and never would as he followed her off the cliff into ecstasy.

He held her close to him until the subtle trembles of her limbs subsided, then made his way into the bathroom. He emerged quickly, coming back with a warm cloth and gently cleaned her up before tossing the cloth into the dirty clothes hamper. He climbed back into bed next to her and again gathered her into his arms. She rested her head against his chest and let out a sigh at the feeling of his warm skin against hers. A few moments of silence past until she broke it with a small giggle,
"I had forgot how good that is. Whoever you've been with since me definitely benefited from my loss." He reached a finger under her chin titling her face up so he could meet her eyes,
"There hasn't been anyone since you. There is no one else for me but you Bug." She tried to cover the shocked intake of breath at his admission, but clearly he had heard all the same if the loving look on his face was any indication.
"Jake..I..I'm going to be late for work. Your welcome to stay as long as you want, just lock the door behind you when you go. See you around Hangman." she carefully sat up and slid out of the bed and headed for the bathroom, closing the door softly behind her.
