Thread: The Untamed: Revisited (Katy1008 & CrimsonMaster )

The ride back to town was at a steady canter, the two of them just riding rather than talking. There was a little conversation about what Rios had said and some about who else Katie needed to meet but for the most part they were comfortable with the silence. And in the silence Katie was thinking about the meeting they'd just had and of what might be the next or some future meeting with the Chief. She could almost still feel Rios' touch from his examination. Purposeful but rough. And then the looks of various men as they came past her, looking down on her as she was seated between Rios and JP. A more intimate meeting Rios had suggested but she didn't get the impression that he was necessarily talking about just the two of them. As she finished the ride back to town she was already imagining a different kind of ride. They got back to the office and checked in with Jake. There was nothing urgent that had arisen whilst they'd been out but Jake said Dr. Stone had been by and left a note. JP picked it up from his desk as Katie poured herself a coffee. We have a dinner invitation. JP said as he read through. Katie looked at him as he continued reading. The medical professional in this town would like us to join them for dinner this evening. Nice and friendly of them don't you think? He looked over at Katie who nodded. He was fairly sure he knew just how far that hospitality might extend... Certainly as far as Doc Adams was concerned. He wasn't sure about Abigail Stone but he had noticed the odd look every now and then that she had given Katie when they were introduced. JP thought this could be an interesting first night in Tucson for his new Deputy. Katie had simply nodded in response to JP's question but she thought they were just talking about dinner. They headed back to the hotel and got cleaned up in their rooms in plenty of time for the 7.00 invitation. Katie wore a pair of new tan pants which were just a little tighter than she normally wore. She hadn't chosen them for that reason that was simply the cut of them. She wore a new clean white blouse with a simple camisole underneath. She polished her dark brown leather boots and slipped on a short cut buckskin dark brown jacket which she left open as she trotted down the stairs to meet JP in the lobby. He had scrubbed up pretty well too and the two of them headed out and took the walk up the Main Street to the Doc's office come house. They went to the rear door off the back alley which led to the house part of the building rather than the surgery. Abbie opened the door and seemed pleased to see them both. She took their coats and then led them into a small parlour where Doc Stone was pouring small glasses of sweet sherry for them all. They made small talk...talked about their days... Until dinner was being put on the table by Abbie who had gotten Katie to help her and then over dinner they talked about what had brought them here to Tucson. Periodically through dinner JP brought his hand to Katie's keg under the table. Gave it a squeeze or a caress but carried on as if he were doing nothing. Katie said nothing but quietly enjoyed the contact and was thinking about what might happen when they got back to their rooms. Abbie had also been somewhat tactile through dinner. An odd touch on her shoulder or her arm every now and then. At her neck when she said how she liked the blouse Katie was wearing. After they had done with the main course, Abbie fetched a desert... A cream and chocolate cake. Katie was feeling a little full and said she wasn't sure she could manage the cake whilst commenting that it looked wonderful. Come now Katie. Abigail made that especially this afternoon. You don't want to disappoint her do you? The comment was pleasant but Katie couldn't help hear just the touch of a sharp edge to Doc Stone's question. It reminded her of how her father used to talk to her when she was little and when he really expected her to do whatever it was. Oh you must. Just a little. Here. Abbie cut a small piece of cake and lifted it with her fingers to Katie's mouth. Try some first. I know you'll want more. Katie looked at her for a moment...looked at Stone and JP who were watching expectantly. She looked back to Abbie and then leaned forward a little and opened her mouth. Abbie fed her the small piece of cake from her fingers. And we can't forget the cream. She quickly drew her finger along the edge of the plate gathering thick white cream and again she brought it to Katie's mouth but this time slipped it inside. Katie looked at her as she sucked gently on the cream covered finger. Is cream just the best thing ever Katie? jP's hand came back to her leg under the table as Abbie withdrew her finger and cut pieces of cake. Perhaps you and I should share one Katie. She handed a plate each to Stone and JP and then put on in between her and Katie. She took a fork and had a small piece herself and then loaded the fork a second time. Here. After that first taste, I know you want more don't you Katie. Katie looked at her, felt JP squeeze her leg, and she opened her mouth a little letting Abbie feed her once again.
