"Uh, i can help"he said

" But I'm not ready." Athena said with a blush looking away.

"I'll be gentle with you, I promise."he said.

"But we just started are relationship shouldn't we get to know each other more." Athena said with a nervous frown.

"I've known you for almost a year. If this isn't a perfect time, then when?" he asked.

Athena thought a moment then pulled her to him kissing him hard.

Mordecai pulled her close, kissing her neck.

Athena shivered.

(( oh look hopscotch.))

Mordecai awoke later, and kissed her. "Hey."

Athena woke at his voice " Hey." she smiled

He kissed her, smiling."sleep well?"

" Not really." Athena laughed " Not much sleeping involved."

Mordecai kissed her. "For what it's worth? Totally worth it."he said.

Athena blushed softly " It was worth it." she said quietly.

He kissed her."ready to get up."he said.

" I guess." Athena sighed " Not sure if I can."

"Why's that?"he asked, sitting up.

Athena blushed softly "because of how I feel." She looked away clearly embarrassed.

"Oh, erh, want to just cuddle for a but?"he asked, trying to ease the tension.

" Sure." Athena cuddled against him.

Mordecai held her close.

Athena sighed softly " Whatever will Lori think...she'll be happy and try to force us to marry." she made a face.

"Would you blame her?" he asked.

" No but I would run away again." Athena laughed.

"True"he said.
