And for once, chaste was the best Kathy could do. It wasn't that there were other people around, even Eliot. But her omnipresent fear was too big for desire to get around. Sex meant letting your guard down, sex meant setting aside your constant vigilance. Kathy wasn't ready to do either, at least not when she was awake.
And she wasn't doing that great a job sleeping these days, either.
"Well, yeah," she said, smiling a little at the kiss but not stealing one of her own. "You're also under forty." She looked down at herself, covered in gross from the fight and the subsequent hugging. "We should get cleaned up. Fortunately, hot water isn't an issue."
