Chapter 2: Just Friends with Benefits?

Peeta

Katniss and I end up catnapping for a short period. The garage door going up alerts us to her family's return. We quickly clean up and dress; I give her a fleeting peck on the cheek before literally having to jump out her window and scale down the tree just beyond it to avoid detection.

A few weeks pass, and I am able to do my sex scene with Glimmer Donahue. She's delighted, of course, but I have to act really hard to hide my disgust. She isn't Katniss.

Which is why, one day right after the final bell at school, but before rehearsal, I find Katniss in the hall. Before she can say anything, I drag her into the boys' bathroom.

"What are you doing?" she hisses, though I know she knows full well. I press her into the wall and kiss her till her lips are sore.

"Mmmph, Christ!" she gasps, as my lips move to her neck. "Peeta, we can't do this here –"

"Can," I counter, even as I effortlessly raise her one leg to my waist.

"We shouldn't –" she tries to reason, even as she is losing her ability to think.

"Why not, silly?"

"Someone might see us."

"Then let's make it quick."

"Oh, no, no, no," she mewls almost coyly, but I hump her center, insistently.

"Please, Katniss. I need this, to get through rehearsal with Ms. Legally Blonde."

She sighs, defeated. "I have to pick Prim up at her classroom. Hurry."

Katniss

My permission granted, Peeta seizes me by my thighs and hoists me up the wall. I fold my shivering legs around his waist, trying not to orgasm from the adrenaline I feel even though I am already very wet. He unbuttons my pants and yanks them down past my knees. Pressing his body into mine to keep me up, he masterfully drops his own trousers to his ankles, exposing his rock-hard cock.

Next second, he is slamming up into me. My mouth falls open in a perfect 'O', my eyes bulging.

"Uhhh…..uhhhh….." I groan as he pounds into me, fucks me so ferociously, it's almost animalistic – which I find quite sexy.

"Mmmmmmmm!" My scream as I cum is muffled by his deep kiss, otherwise, someone was sure to hear us. Peeta finishes soon after, and we finally break apart.

"Thank you," he pants gratefully. We quickly clean and dress; I only relax when I clasp the last button on my jeans. No one caught us, thank God. I glance up and don't have time to react before Peeta kisses me tenderly. I return it softly.

"Go get Prim. Safe walk home; I'll call you tonight. I love you."

I smile. "I love you too." I slip out of the bathroom and do a quick check of the now-deserted hallway. The smile is still on my face. This friends-with-benefits deal I have had with Peeta has been exciting to explore, and has in fact only made our friendship stronger. I dare to dream that someday, we might have a relationship, turn into something more….
