FIGHTING YOUR INNER DEMONS
Everybody has them. Some are louder than others. Some are stronger. Some are overwhelming, and sooner or later you just give up fighting. But there are other people around you who want to help you - maybe they're suffering too, either because of your inner monster or their own. Or maybe they're one of the lucky ones with demons that don't howl so much.

You can help each other. It's better than the alternative.

TURN OVER A NEW LEAF FOR YOU

Here's the thing: in the past, you've not been a nice person. Whether you were just a little nasty, you did terrible things, you were forced to be a monster, or your heart was dark to the core, it's understandable why you weren't anyone's favorite. But those days are behind you. Now, there's someone you care for, someone you want to get closer to, someone you lov-

Well, they make you want to be a better person. This desire could have been a gradual realization, or you could have suddenly decided one day to improve. In the same vein, you may want a complete overhaul, yet you could also be more realistic and try to work on one thing. Still, you know that you're the only one who can change yourself.

How is that going? It can't be easy, as old habits die hard. Do you have a supportive loved one — or someone who wants nothing to do with you, no matter how much you improve?

FIRSTS

You're in right smack in the middle of exciting times, perhaps even the peak of your life so far, and you're not alone. For you and your companion, it's all about firsts: first crush, first love, first fight, first confession, first kiss, first time, first adventure to certain death together - you know, as you do. There is a first time for everything, after all, and they say you never forget your first.

So...first?

1. First Kiss: Is there anything sweeter?

2. First Date: Are you super awkward and nervous or getting on like a house on fire?

3. First Time: A little awkward, a little exciting, always memorable. (Unless you had to get drunk to get up the nerve.)

4. First Place: Apartment in the city, or perfect white picket fenced home! Either way, better make the best of it.

5. First Pet: Dog or cat? Fish tank? Rhinoceros?

6. What is this...Love Thing?: I don't understand love. What is love, baby don't hurt me ---

7. Protected/Safe: You always feel safe with them. How can you thank them?

8. Childhood Sweethearts: You've loved them what seems like forever, ever since you were little.

9. Arguments: You jerk! Look what you've done! I never want to see you again.

10. Unlucky Friend: You lost the person of your dreams to someone else, perhaps because of their allure or perhaps because you never spoke up. What can you do now?

11. I'll Cheer You On: Always supportive, always by your side, they're the person you can count on. Why do they care so much, though?

12. Slap-Slap-Kiss: I could kill you for what you just did! I could - I could KISS YOU.

13. Confession in the Heat of the Moment: You're about to go defeat the ultimate baddie. How about confessing your feelings to the person you love? Seems legit.

14. Sudden Kiss: Kiss from nowhere! There are lots of reasons for this: to stop someone from crying, to make them be quiet, or just to explain yourself when words can't.

15. Waking Up: Fluffy, sleepy, giggly morning in bed.

She wasn't wrong. Tandy had him in a way that he was sure nobody else would ever have. A connection made when they were kids, one that saved their lives without either realizing until years later. Each were plagued with darkness surrounding their encounter. Tandy had lost her dad, Ty his brother. People they each looked up to who meant the world to them. He could feel her pain at seeing the truth over her parents' relationship, refusing to leave her alone after that revelation.

Ty was proud that she opted to stay with her mom since. He hadn't said as much, not finding it his place to do so. It made him think of when he'd seen his mother vulnerable--fearful she'd lose him the way they'd lost Billy. Except that Billy wasn't lost; he was taken. In a sense, so had Ty and again, all thanks to Connors. Roles were slightly reversed between him and Tandy but they weren't alone the way each had felt in the past.

Alone was the last thing he felt in the moment, consumed by her company and the way their powers felt when combined. She could make him mad and drive him crazy but Tandy Bowen also made him feel like a king whether they were facing insurmountable odds or in a lip lock. She pressed her body into his, prompting him to wrap his arms tighter around her. Ty shrugged off the jacket that he'd just put on. He wanted to feel more of her, not less.

Yet feeling more of her amplified what he was feeling overall. A mixture of arousal and adoration made for a potent combination that Ty had little success in willing down. Tandy only had herself to blame, kissing him the way she did. She continued to show him how much he enjoyed following her lead at times. He considered initiating something more but didn't find the nerve yet. It was too soon. Right?

At one time, Tandy couldn't have imagined her father doing anything wrong. He had been perfect in her eyes but she knew now that there were a lot of things she had been blind to because she had been a child at the time. She had let her grief and anger twist her which it could have done further once she learned the truth but the whole thing with Ty and their powers had pulled her back. Yes, she had done some bad things while she was hurting with the revelation but they kept her from going too far.

It was the same way she had refused to leave him alone when his friend had died and through the final fight with Connors. She hadn't been able to touch him at the time but she had laid with him until he calmed down and she had been the one he called when he wanted to listen to the tape of him with his brother again. It paled in comparison to what he had done for her, at least in her mind, but she tried.

She tried more with him than she had with anyone else in a long time.

She knew that meant something just like it meant something now as the kiss grew more fevered and her breathing grew heavier. It mingled sweetly with his whenever they parted for a second to draw in some much-needed air or to change the angle of the kiss. She even slid her hands over his shoulders to help him push the coat off, her heart racing as she moved her hands to the bottom of his shirt.

But she paused for a moment when she might have pulled his shirt off over his head. Instead, she leaned back slightly to look at him, licking her lips as she did. "A-are you sure about this?"

"Huh?" or something similar left him when she pulled back to look at him, asking him something. Ty swallowed and tried to regain his senses. She was still too close, forcing him to blink a few times before her words registered. He nodded and took off the shirt she held tentatively. "Are you?"

A part of him considered telling her that the last girl who opted to share a bed with him had vanished on him but she probably knew that already. It wasn't something he'd easily confess. Ty never really understood why people talked about exes with someone new. He was focused on the present and treated Tandy as such.

The belt around his waist was becoming unbearable but he didn't move to touch it, never leaving her face with his gaze. "I think biology kinda gives away what I want," he uttered huskily with eyes almost peering up at her lower face from his chin dipped down toward his chest.

"But I'd wait for you. If you want that. I understand." The last was said genuinely, worried look in his eyes that Tandy might have been having second thoughts.

Eventually, Tandy would have to find a way to convince Ty that she wasn't having second thoughts. Probably right about the same time she figured out that he wasn't having them either because she was sure that point was coming somewhere.

But right now she definitely wasn't having second thoughts or even thinking about much really. It was easy to tell that he wasn't either considering the rather adorably confused look he gave her as he tried to figure out why she had stopped for a moment. Then he was asking if she was sure which was easily the sweetest thing anyone had done for her in a long time.

There was no stopping the way her features softened as she touched his face, staring at him for a moment like she was truly in awe or had just seen the best thing ever. At least until he called attention to the rather physical reaction he was having as if she couldn't feel it pressing against her stomach seconds before.

"I don't want that." She murmured softly, rising up on her tiptoes to bring her lips close to his. "I want this. Right now."

She didn't want that. Ty was disappointed but not crushed, trying to will down his excitement. She had every right--

Oh. He'd misunderstood. Tandy didn't want him to wait and he could feel his cheeks grow hot at the realization. It wasn't embarrassment over the misunderstanding but a rush that she wanted him too. Ty swayed a little, more of an awkward move--even if for a fleeing moment.

"Here?" he asked with a slight arched brow in question as her mouth grazed his slightly with his light movement. After all, he had just spoken about a hotel room not long ago. His inexperience started to creep up on him. Yet his hands moved to her hips and held firmly, conveying that he hadn't changed his mind.

Tandy considered telling him that she was fine with right here but then she realized that maybe it wasn't right for him. Ty was too good, too gentle, for their first time together to be on the church floor. So she pressed her lips together to keep from smiling at how adorable she found him at that moment, her fingers brushing over his chest as he slid his hands over her hips after blushing.

"Not here." She licked her lips slowly, lingering close as she studied his face with a heated gaze. She could feel the air humming with energy and need, making her intimately aware of him in a way she had never felt before.

"Maybe you don't know any penthouse suites or anything but what about just a plain old hotel room?" She suggested, tilting her head slightly. "Maybe somewhere you went on a basketball trip or something?"

Something close to a soft snicker left him. "What kind of basketball do you think I was playin'?" he asked though the light laugh. The reaction was more nervous excitement than actual amusement. Ty was having one hell of a time trying to control his desire between her close proximity and the way Tandy looked at him. Whatever spark there had been before had turned into a raging fire.

"But my mom has had a few events where we stayed in a hotel. A few nice ones. Suites. But my favorite was actually over--" He was talking too much. Ty stopped, licked his lips and bit his lower lip while giving a nod. "Wait." With an unconscious soft grunt of frustration (from having to break away from Tandy and the state she put him in), he slipped his shirt back on and the hoodie immediately after.

Ty attempted something he'd never tried before. Being with Tandy felt empowering. From the first time they touched at the graveyard to sending Connors somewhere that nobody had yet to find the corrupt cop, the hope to his fears seemed to always spark something greater with his powers. So he kissed her and enveloped Tandy in Billy's hoodie instead of talking further.

She could probably feel the change in temperature, indicating they had gone somewhere. Ty immediately broke the kiss and looked around. There was the chance that someone was in the hotel room. It wasn't the most spacious room but it did overlook the French Quarter while having a great view of the stars from the bed. He remembered falling asleep while wishing on them not too long after Billy was gone. He couldn't think of a better place to be with Tandy at the moment.

Luck seemed to be on his side for once. The room was vacant. Mardi Gras was over and most didn't linger after in the 504. He looked back at Tandy with an expression that asked what she thought of the room before he took off the hoodie again. Or maybe she would. Or maybe she'd frown at the basic room rather than somewhere high end. No. He didn't believe she'd be like that. She'd probably ask what was with the room and give him a chance to explain. Or maybe he should just tell her?

"This was one of the first places my mom did her community relations thing where she was invited to stay. We'd never stayed in a hotel before. It about a year after Billy died. I remember laying in the rollaway and being able to see the stars in the sky..."

"Ones where you might have gone on trips to play at other schools?" Tandy rolled her eyes in amusement, nudging his shoulder playfully when he laughed a little at her. She thought it was adorable but that didn't mean she could resist teasing him as she smirked up at him. "Now I'm wondering what kind of basketball you were thinking about?"

She fell quiet as he thought about the hotels his mother had stayed in and she tilted her head curiously, watching him stop himself before telling her to stop. Then she mimicked his noise, making a soft one of her own that sounded like a protest even though she knew that he had to grab his hoodie if he was teleporting them somewhere. Not that he had to put his shirt on but she didn't stop him.

Instead, she smiled with a giddy sense of excitement as she stepped into his arms again, sliding her own under his hoodie and around his waist while she leaned up to kiss him back. She felt the change when it came but she wasn't in a hurry to pull away from him. It didn't even cross her mind to be concerned that there might be someone in the room he had brought them too and she figured they were pretty safe when she didn't hear a call of surprise following their arrival.

Her eyes remained closed for a moment longer when the kiss finally broke and she continued to lean into him as she felt strangely content despite the hum of arousal in her veins. Then she heard him talking again and she opened her eyes to look around, recognizing the importance of the room for him. Tonight, they would add another kind of importance to it but she held back for a moment, smiling a bit as she looked at the window.

"It's beautiful." She murmured before looking up at him, knowing he needed the words. "It's perfect, Ty."

"The NBA. Get your mind out of the gutter," he chuckled before trying to focus on where to go. It only took a minute before they relocated but neither seemed patient with the minimal separation. Tandy made a similar sound to his discontent when he'd stepped back to get dressed, fueling the desire already raging inside of him. She would probably laugh at the thought that remained on his mind. Ty still felt out of his league around her intimately.

Either he was a brooding, angry mess or a lost puppy whenever he looked at her. Tandy also made him happy. They talked about it previously, Ty worried he might have dismissed her concerns too soon. She seemed to take it in stride and agree that they were a good match. Imperfect in their own ways that made them a perfect fit. At least, he hoped she'd understood that from the conversation they had.

She was beautiful in the dimly lit room. Ty forgot about almost everything around them as they stood face to face. Her eyes had looked out the window and back up at him. A genuinely content smile formed in a small expression on his features. "You're beautiful," he countered in a husky pitch. He quickly cleared his throat and had started to lean in before jerking back suddenly. "Better lock the door if we're gonna stay."

Should anyone check in, going against the chain lock or slide bar would give them time to get out of there before anyone could tell who was in the room. It wasn't a spacious room so he was never out of sight getting to the door. Ty shrugged off the hoodie after securing them in the room, draping it over the only chair in the room. He stepped out of his shoes before getting past the chair. A nervous smirk tugged his lips before standing in close proximity to Tandy.

"There's an antique big tub in the bathroom," he blurted then shook his head at himself. Ty closed his eyes and hung his head. "Not tryin' to get you in it. Just somethin' else I remember liking about this place." His eyes had picked up toward the end, not giving any thought to what a novice he might sound to Tandy. He didn't feel wrong being himself around her. It really didn't bother him when she teased him. He actually got a kick out of it.

"Uh huh, sure." There was no stopping the smirk that appeared then, filled with mischief and something far more suggestive as she leaned into him briefly. She liked getting a reaction from him at times, especially those times when he told her that he couldn't with her or something. She was starting to see it was a good comment in its own way. "Are you sure it wasn't strip basketball or something? Because if that's a thing, I would totally play with you."

Maybe he was a brooding angry mess or a lost puppy but she was pretty sure that she was just as bad. She often smiled at him like a lovesick idiot or one of those schoolgirls who thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. Not Evita or anything because that would be weird but some other girl. She smiles at him like she had never smiled at anyone else.

She was still smiling when they arrived in the room and it turned oddly bashful when he told her that she was beautiful. Ducking her head with a small smile, she lowered her gaze as she felt a bloom of warmth start in the middle of her chest and spread outward in a way she had never experienced before. Suddenly she wanted to shuffle and hide her face but she didn't. Ty would never let her hear the end of it if she ever did.

Releasing him when he moved away to lock the door, she briefly clasped her hands as she turned to look around the room once more. Maybe it wasn't all that big but she didn't care. It was paradise to her and it was better because he was there with her.

Then she was right back to smirking as he started to mention the tub and seemed to realize just how it sounded that he was bringing it up. Chuckling, she reached up to curl her hands in his shirt as she started to kick off her heels. "Oh, I am definitely getting in the tub later and, if you play your cards right, I might even let you join me."

His eyes had immediately gone toward the ceiling. Mission accomplished. Tandy had the shake of head where he couldn't say anything else, grinning against better judgement. Who knew when he'd get the idea of naked basketball out of his mind. Fortunately, he no longer played on a team.

The only team he worried about now was their diving pairing. It wasn't a name either of them seemed to say out loud but thought about frequently, not just each other but the history to it. A part of Ty didn't want to give it a lot of thought since it also brought Evita to mind. Not that he couldn't stand to think of her or held any ill will toward her. It was more not knowing what happened. And now, would talk about his maybe girlfriend bother his actual girlfriend?

He swallowed thickly at the thought of Tandy being his actual girlfriend, excited and nervous. His eyes opened just a little wide at her words. Ty probably did a poor job at masking his inexperience. Yet he tried all the same. With a smirk, he picked up his gaze that had fallen away and looked back to her. "You're too good to me," he quipped with a shake of his head.

She had her hands in his shirt again but this time Ty didn't take it off for her. He waited with hands at his sides to see what Tandy wanted to do next. The window had been left open to where they had the view of the stars and the moonlight, without anyone being able to look in and see them in the unlit room. "You really are beautiful." The words left him like a subconscious thought yet he had no regret.

Ty could never deny being smitten. Angry at times with her or even at her, sure. Yet there was an attraction since the moment they ended up in each other's lives. Science nobody might understand initially then another kind of chemistry that kicked in since they met again. His mouth crashed against hers just as mindlessly. Instinct. He could feel his lips a little swollen from all the kissing they had been doing but it didn't prompt him to slow down or stop.

Tandy was just childish enough that she didn't even bother hiding her the smug satisfaction that she felt when she got exactly the reaction that she wanted. It even bordered on glee combined with a cute smirk because she knew she had planted an idea in his head. Maybe they could even find a makeshift basketball hoop at the church.

But it was true, while she worried about her mom and Mina, it was really only the 'team' that she shared with Ty that concerned her. He was the only 'team' and person that she wanted. She wasn't thinking about Liam or Evita because she felt like neither one of the exes could touch what they had now.

She also wasn't worried about Ty's experience or the lack of because she was more focused on the feel which was amazing. Anything else could be learned, she knew that, and she had no problem taking the time to help him gain experience. But right now she was focused on the feel of his hands on her or how he made her head spin a little when they kissed.

"Shut up." She muttered with a soft chuckle as he called her beautiful again, getting her just a tiny bit flustered again. She silenced him with another hungry kiss, the pleasure spiking anew inside of her. The only time she stopped was to pull at his shirt, helping him tug it off again so it could be dropped to the floor and she could slide her hands over his arms.

Then they were kissing again, causing her to moan softly as she let her hands slide from his arm over his chest, mapping out the muscles and committing the feel to memory. When she paused again, it was only to whisper. "There is a zipper on the back."

"Bossy," he uttered into her mouth with a chuckle that matched her own. It was a feat that he managed that much thought, feeling the energy in the room spike. They parted just enough to get his shirt off again. Ty was somewhere between dazed and mesmerized. Nothing in the world existed but Tandy.

A darkness swirled at the moan she gave and forced Ty to catch his breath. The cloud wasn't like anything before, more of a mist that concealed any visibility from the open window yet not from each other. Then again Tandy had her own glow. His mouth had dipped to her neck, peering over her back to work the aforementioned zipper. Maybe he should've asked if she was sure. No. She didn't tell him anything that she didn't mean. Not after everything.

The zipper was pulled down carefully before he straightened. He knew better than to say anything now but Tandy would have to deal with him staring, taking every inch of newly exposed skin. Ty simultaneously felt his mouth go dry and water at the same time. He licked his lips before connecting with another kiss as the dress pooled around her feet. His hands moved to the belt at his waist once her dress had fell.

He didn't remove his pants, just slid the belt off to give him a little room. Ty might have snuck a grab at the crotch of his pants to shift the bulge down a pant leg than continue jabbing her in the abdomen. He reached behind Tandy and pulled the comforter down in case she wanted to get into bed. His other hand was tentative yet protective over her bare hip. "Should I... Do we need... You know?"

His voice cracked at the questions but he watched her face, not pulling back more than inches away to ask if she expected him to have a condom.

"You're just figuring that out? Really?" Tandy whispered softly, smirking against his lips in turn before they started working at getting each other's clothes off.

She was easily so wrapped up in him that she didn't notice the darkness swirling about them. A sure sign of just how comfortable she was with him and his power beyond the fact that he was doing a damn good job at distracting her. Especially as his mouth moved to her neck, causing her pulse to race as she tipped her head to the side and bit at her bottom lip while he started working on the back of her dress.

Even just the gentle brush of his fingers against her spine made her tingle and arch closer, not at all bothered by the fact that she would be pretty much naked in front of him once the dress hit the floor. All that she wore after that happened was a pair of panties as her age meant that she didn't have to worry about wearing a bra all the time. Plus the dress had been snug enough to keep her breasts in place but having the material gone meant her nipples tightened further in the cool air of the room. Or maybe it was being even more turned on than she had been a couple seconds before.

But then he was distracting her for a different reason and she paused, groaning. "Maybe...yeah? I mean, I'm on the pill but maybe we should...have one?"

It was all too tempting to tell him not to worry about it as she started to sit down, her hand sliding over his stomach and dropping to tease along the waistband of his pants. "Or maybe a few of them?"

If anyone was allowed a laugh at his expense, it was Tandy. Mainly also because he had plenty at hers.

Whatever teasing had gone on verbally was turning all physical. Ty could barely think with the powerful combination of powers, feeling and now seeing Tandy. Yet the conversation started turning illogical. At least, that was how he viewed it. Admitting that she was on the pill but then telling him a condom was a good idea ..."So you want me to go?" he asked with confusion causing his voice to crack in the question.

Her hands traveling over his bare skin and Tandy sitting in front of him topless made the swelling at the front prominent enough where his pants felt almost painful on. His hands reached for hers, not knowing what else to do when she sat. He couldn't help let his eyes wander then visibly struggle lifting his gaze. "Sorry," he immediately apologized while feeling a heat rising on his cheeks yet feeling his eyelids hang with desire.

Tandy had to bite the inside of her cheek as she watched the confusion and a range of emotions flicker across his face. Really, she wouldn't have even thought of a condom until he brought it up. Which was risky behavior for her, she was sure, but she had thought he wanted one. He was so responsible and straight-laced that it sort of made sense but now he seemed to be almost disappointed.

Reaching to slide her fingers against his, she teased her nails over his palms but didn't hold on. Instead, she continued to tease her fingers along the inside of his forearms and then higher while he let his eyes roam over her. The way he looked at her was exciting, leaving her breathless as she started to tug at him.

"Don't worry about it." She started to lay back, deciding then that they would be fine because she was on the pill. So she shifted up further, tugging at him as she slid one hand over his shoulder to clasp the back of his head. She wanted to kiss him again and she wanted to feel the weight of him on top of her while she did. "You don't need to go."

He might later regret the indecision based only on the merit that she considered him the responsible one. Ty couldn't imagine having any second thoughts about sex or whatever she wanted to do with clothes off. He didn't like assuming anything, feeling that kind of thinking avoided putting him in bad situations where anyone had regrets down the road.

A condom was more than a method of birth control but he couldn't believe after what they'd been through together, Tandy wouldn't voice if there was some reason he should have protection while with her. Nothing but the immediate moment stayed on his mind and a slight wave of relief washed over him when she dismissed his apology and prompted him to stay. "You sure?" he felt compelled to still ask while following her lead onto the bed.

The slacks he wore slid past his hips without a belt on and exposed the boxers underneath but didn't get past the bulge at his crotch. Ty found a way to get them to finish sliding off as he crept on the bed after Tandy. The corners of his mouth curled upward while the rest of his features held more of a nervous excitement that he tried to quell by not talking. He looked almost indecisive between looking her over and wanting to kiss her.

Kissing won out the moment they were centered on the bed. Ty preferred not to be so exposed even if Tandy knew him better than most. She could see hopes but that power wasn't specifically needed with him. He believed she could sense what he wanted the way he'd been able to tune into her. His lips felt full from all the kissing but he didn't mind the sensation and continued the passionate entanglement while his erection was something of the elephant in the room as he remained above her on the bed.

It was true that a condom was more than a method of birth control but despite her careless behavior and casual attitude about sex, Tandy really hadn't been as casual about having it. Even with some of her schemes, she had never let things get so far because that sort of intimacy was something she had always run from. That and Liam really had only been focused on her.

But these things weren't really on her mind as she looked up at him, seeing the hesitation there still among the nervous excitement. She smiled softly, trying to remember the last time someone had been so sweet but the answer was always never. Or at least not even close to how sweet Ty could be in most things.

She let her kiss speak for her at first even though her own lips felt swollen and tingly. She almost couldn't get enough of kissing him but it also made her feel deliciously bold. Especially when she managed to slide a hand between them to touch him through his boxers, rubbing her fingers down the length of them and then back up again while she felt a rush of her own arousal.

"That's impressive, Ty." She murmured against his lips, smirking a bit as she let her hand slip inside so she could touch him skin to skin. Or, more accurately, wrap her hand around him to fully stroke him.

At her hand between them, a guttural groan rumbled in his chest and a swirl of darkness surrounded them. Ty didn't notice it. Tandy didn't look any different when he'd lifted his head and peeked at her face. She was smirking and in the briefest of seconds he wasn't sure of her intention. Was she really impressed or was he in over his head? He swallowed thickly and the moment was gone as quick as the bout of insecurity had came.

There wouldn't be any point in being mean to him at the moment. She didn't have a choice in being genuine with him. Ty found increasing confidence in his ability to cut through her bullshit. While he'd grown more fierce and less of a coward, Tandy had started to care. Her tenderness was evident in touch and words. He maybe had a moment of anger out of a defense mechanism but was instantly back to a shy look.

"I hope you're talking about me planking on top of you for however long we--" Words died in his throat as she stroked him. He felt instantly embarrassed at the hold she literally had on him. His body went rigid and his eyes rolled to the back of his head. Ty let out a husky growl that was closer to a low octave purr before crashing his mouth on hers again. His breathing was ragged and he couldn't help his hips from rocking and stroking himself in her grip.

He probably should have been doing something nice to her but his mind was having a hard time focusing.

Tandy paused, biting her lip as she saw the flicker of something in his eyes at her comment. She wondered if he was confused by her statement or the intention behind it but she hoped that he would be clear about it once she was touching him. Because, really, she was kind of impressed. She also liked how he felt in her hand, the idea making her feel a little hotter than before as she squirmed beneath him while she watched to see what he liked best.

"I mean..." She started to smile because they both knew she wasn't thinking about planking or anything like that at all. Sure, that was kind of impressive too but then his eyes were rolling back in his head and she couldn't stop the rush of smug satisfaction she felt. Or that it turned her on more to know she had that kind of effect on him.

Leaning up between them, she brushed her lips along the curve of his jaw and down his neck, nibbling gently over the skin as she started to move her hand faster while he rocked his hips to thrust against her. As she did, she moved her other hand around to push at the waistband of his boxers, finding it somewhat awkward given their position but she still wanted them off. So she could get him off.

"Tandy..." he warned breathlessly with eyes still pressed shut. If her wish was to have him at her complete mercy then it was granted. Ty felt he was going to embarrass himself and ruin everything but couldn't do more than grunt her name. His chest rose and fell heavily with breath. She might hear how thickly he swallowed, trying to will some control. He attempted a last ditch effort to distract himself by holding himself up with one arm to aid her attempt in getting off his boxers.

He couldn't remember if her underwear was off, barely remembering how they ended up in the middle of the bed. His warning might have been confusing given he continued to roll his hips as she held his erection. The desire was too strong to stop but also nerve wracking that he might disappoint her during their first time. Once his body was free of the underwear that he wore, Ty nudged her legs apart by the inside of her knees.

"You're... gonna... make me ...finish," he uttered in a strained voice at a whisper. Ty held his temple at the side of her own. A shiver coursed through his body, trembling at the climax he was on the brink of.

It was tempting to finish him off as she continued to ride the high of feeling smug over her effect on him but she also knew that she didn't want the first time to be all over her hand. They could do that another time and she was sure that she could have fun with it but not right now.

So she let him go when he warned her again that she was going to make him finish. She was panting softly against his hair as she moved her hand to the side, discreetly wiping it against the blanket before she started to wriggle with the intention of getting her panties off since she still had them. Which proved to be difficult considering their position but also because they were damp with her arousal but she wasn't bothered by it.

When she finally got her panties down that she could kick them off, she felt her heart jump into her throat while a flutter danced in the pit of her stomach. They were both as naked as could be as he settled between her thighs, her legs cradling his hips as she looked up at him.

"Ty..." She breathed his name softly, her gaze intense and filled with different emotions. She could have made a joke but the moment felt too big for that. It was big and overwhelming as she shifted to slide a leg around him, giving him a nudge as she rocked her hips up to tease herself against him. She could feel the length of his arousal press and rub against her, causing her to hold her breath as she waited for him to take the next step.

She let him go and he wasn't sure at first if he'd messed up by having whined or if Tandy hadn't been put off by his admission of weakness. It was hard for him to think... figuratively and literally. Fortunately the shifting gave him insight on what she was doing and he moved to help the process along. Ty didn't feel like the amateur he'd felt he was, believing communicating had been the key.

"Hey..." he answered when she called his name, feeling the level of varied emotions. His response might have been a single word but it was tender and caring. Ty felt she'd give him shit if he commented on how she looked. He'd seen Tandy display emotion, particularly when it came to her affection for her dad. This was different. Better. And not just because it was about him. She...cared. About him. For him. She seemed to know how he felt about her. "..Tandy."

It seemed necessary to say her name similar to her calling his. It was as if to declare to the other that they knew who they were with. Not Liam or Evita. Nobody but the other. Ty broke his gaze to pull back and check what he was doing. A novice move but he wouldn't profess to knowing any different. She had rubbed along his length for him to feel her readiness so he didn't make her wait any longer and pushed inside her walls.

Something between a moan and grunt rumbled from him as every muscle in his body tensed with the rush of pleasure. Again he trembled after fully burying in Tandy. "God, that's good." The words were breathless and quivered along with his rigid form. "Fuck--Sorry!...Uh." Ty groaned and dropped his forehead to rest on top of hers while trying to relax before really embarrassing himself. He was suddenly happy about not still being at the church. Lightning might have struck him down.

"Should've used a condom," he muttered before realizing how what he said could've sounded like to her. His head immediately picked up to look at Tandy with heavily lidded eyes. "Would've felt less good. I'm seriously about to embarrass the hell out of myself. ...Sorry." His arms moved in and cradled her form underneath him. His hands sought hers to link their fingers together. "Never felt anything this good before."

There would never be a moment in time when Tandy thought that her other half of their Diving Pairing was weak. Maybe eventually he would realize that and not worry so much about everything she said or did. At least not while they were alone locked in each other's embrace.

It was a relief to get rid of the last article of clothing separating them and the feeling stole her breath once more. As did the look in his eye when he answered her and the way his voice softened. Just for a second it was enough to almost make her panic but it was so fleeting that she knew it was more like a ghost passing through. She didn't have to be scared of being vulnerable or intimate with him because she really did care about him.

"I know." She murmured, nodding slightly as she slid her hands up his sides, biting her lip again as she watched him look down. She didn't think it was a novice move. Honestly, she just figured that maybe he liked watching himself press into her and she was tempted to watch too. But then he was inside of her, bringing about her own soft moan as she arched slightly and clenched around him.

She had told him before that the release of her power had been like sex. Maybe even better than sex. At one time, she might have even thought that but this was so much better. There was also a flare of white light against his back when her hands jerked up to get a better hold on him but there were no blades. Just a flare of power mixed with the pleasure before she relaxed slightly, opening her eyes to look up at him.

Then she giggled softly, sweeping her hands up and down his back. "It's better than...oh god. It's better than good."

Just a little press of his hips had stolen her breath again and she shuddered as she rolled her hips slowly to find his rhythm. Normally she would have been all about making it quick, turning it into a fast fuck just to get off but this time she wanted more. Even if the first time was still fast. So she smiled a little at his words, lifting her head to bump her nose gently against his while they clasped hands. "It's okay, Ty. We have all night."

"You cheated," he groaned almost as if in pain. The accusation was bitter and angry from the straining but Ty didn't pull away or change his touch. "That... wasn't... fair..."

It was nothing like the sex he'd had. Ty wasn't sure what he had before Tandy even qualified as sex, the past paled in comparison. Maybe she knew. Neither of them were psychic but they were definitely linked. He'd walked in on whatever she was doing to Liam... maybe she knew about his night with Evita? Ty hoped Tandy didn't just as he hoped she didn't know about any of his limited past sexual experience. They probably should've had a conversation. Maybe.

He lost the battle but was determined to win the war. If he didn't know she'd meant to trigger her power of if he'd sparked it somehow. What he did know was his climax came and there had been no stopping it. Ty was surprised at both feeling the release but still capable of continuing. He wasn't as hard as he'd been originally yet enough to build back up. Tandy had said they had all night like she could read his mind. There was a devilish smirk on his face after catching his breath.

"That was amazing." His mouth moved over hers with hands still locked that slid together above her head. Only then as his hips rocked to resuscitate the softened erection inside her, did Ty recognize the dance between them. Tandy was his partner in every way and he never saw it more so than that fleeting moment. Maybe it was a glimpse into the future, using her power of hope. They could bring the best out of each other no matter the environment. "You're amazing."

He'd learned in the short time they had just fooled around to apply pressure in a certain way and the pace to thrust into her. Faster. Harder. Not too fast or too hard. In fact, Ty was sure holding hands kept him in tune to what Tandy needed from him. "Tandy... tell me... what you want... please." If pleading made him sound weak, so be it. She deserved the same pleasure he received. More so, if he had any say in it. All the hurt she received in life--this had to be the reason why...

Ty lost all thought again, feeling pleasure creep back up and needing to will it down. He pulled his head back again to watch her face. Their powers could clear a city block yet intimacy wasn't creating something that hurt anyone else. He could sense that. It empowered and shielded them, only failing them if either ever opted to be with someone else intimately--possibly never reaching the pleasure their powered side created. "I'll never leave you. No matter what. You know that, right?"
