Ironing Things Out: Veronica and Trevor

Veronica woke from a terrible dream and showered. She sighed. This was so nice and the water was nice and hot. The soap was a soft vanilla. She put on some nice clothes and fixed her hair and sighed.

"Who am I getting ready for?" She said to her reflection. She immediately thought of Trevor. She smiled and put on some lipstick. Pretty soft pink. She felt like herself.

She realized that she was hungry. She opened her door and realized Trevor never locked it. She wasn't a prisoner and she was shocked that he didn't think of her as one. She walked to the pantry and took out two bags and put them in the microwave.

"Make sure you shake them or there will be hot spots." Emma reminded her. She was sitting at the table in workout clothes.

"Oh, thanks. I hope this is okay?" Veronica shook both bags and sat at the table.

"You look fantastic and you are fine, Veronica. Things...it was past time that things got used. Please, help yourself to anything and make yourself at home." Emma smiled. It didn't hurt as much to watch her sister's things getting used. She missed Eve but she wasn't coming back.

Veronica finished off her bag and started the next one. "Thanks for being so kind. I owe you my life. I will do everything that I can to repay you. You have my word and my loyalty, Emma. I promise to protect you, if you need it." She smiled and threw the bags in the trash. "Where is everyone?" She wanted to ask where Trevor was.

"Cash and Malcolm went to clean out their place. They are coming back here. This is HQ right now and they are calling their brother. Trevor is in the back working. I am about to workout. I have some practice to do since I am benched for thirty days." She sighed. That was more than Veronica wanted to know and Emma needed to shut up.

Veronica nodded. She didn't know what to say and she really wanted to thank Trevor. Talk to him or just be in the same room. She had no idea what her problem was. Emma stood and left the room.

Veronica rushed out the back to the workshop. She opened the door, quietly. "Trevor?"

"Veronica? Hey. I was about ready to check on you. Sorry. I lost track of time." Trevor was in the middle of something. He had goggles on and looked around. He dropped his tool and took off his goggles. She was gorgeous. He took a couple of steps towards her.

"You look just beautiful." He looked at her and let his eyes roam over her. She was so cute and small. Her hair was a little curly and just to her shoulders. It bounced when she walked. Her lips were pretty pink and her smile was very pretty...she was pretty. He almost drooled.

"Thanks." Veronica smiled and looked down. They just stood there, saying nothing. She had no reason to be there. No real reason to look for him. Oh no! She had nothing to say to him. "Uh...maybe I should go..."

"No. You're fine. Come in. Please." Trevor blinked. "I love this dress. Very pretty..." Trevor felt stupid right now.

"Thanks. You look fantastic in that crazy, serial killer kind of way. It's a good look for you." Veronica teased him and giggled. He had a welding apron on and thick gloves and goggles on his head. His hair was sticking up and he looked wired on coffee. She thought he still looked hot.

"Thanks. I have been trying to perfect this look for years!" Trevor laughed and shook his head.

"What are you working on?" Veronica paused. Maybe he didn't want her bugging him so she gave him a chance to kick her out. "Sorry, I'm intruding and I can go. I don't mean to bother you. I just wanted to say thanks for everything. I took a nice hot shower and ate. I woke up in a very comfortable bed. Thanks." She watched Trevor. "It was the first night of rest that I can remember." She had a tear and wiped it.

"You are welcome and you aren't intruding." Trevor wanted to touch her hair. "What in the hell is wrong with me?" He said that out loud. Did he just say that out loud?

"What?" Veronica looked worried.

Trevor smiled and shook his head. "Nothing. I was just...I didn't mean to say that out loud. Sorry. I am turning into my sister! She lectures herself out loud a lot and I just did it. I am spending too much time with her. You want to help me?"

"Me? Uh, sure?" Veronica smiled but looked unsure.

Trevor was thrilled that she was going to stay. He gave her safety gear and she held pieces as he welded them. They were quiet for an hour. It was nice and Veronica was easy to work with.

"So, what is wrong with you?" She was curious and had waited for an hour. The possibilities were bouncing around in her head.

"What?" Trevor looked at her. "Oh...nothing. It was nothing." He fumbled with the screwdriver and dropped it. He sighed.

"Are you okay?"

Trevor laughed. No, he wasn't. Was there something in the water around here? He was having a tough time concentrating while she was standing so close.

She smelled like vanilla. Control yourself, man! Trevor was trying to keep himself in check. He looked at her arms for the last hour...her skin was so soft and smooth. He just wanted to touch her.

He thought about different things he could do with her on this workbench and had to gain some control. He hadn't thought of women in a long time and he was very out of practice.

Veronica was just helping him and taking her on this workbench wasn't going to help anyone. She would never talk to him again if she knew what he was thinking for the last hour.

"Trevor?" Veronica was a little worried. Trevor didn't really answer her and he was smiling as he looked at the workbench.

Trevor finally heard her. "Sorry. I think I need a break. Maybe I'm hungry." He almost ran out of the workshop after he took his safety gear off and rushed into the house. Veronica followed.

"Maybe I should just leave or go to my room?" She figured he didn't like her. He barely talked to her and almost ran away. Well, he was a hunter so there was nothing between them. Maybe working with a vampire was too much for him to take. Was he going to kick her out?

"No. Please. Stay. I just need a sandwich and we can finish that project. I love having you helping me. I enjoy your company, Veronica. I really do. This past hour has been the best I have had in a very long time."

Trevor smiled as he made a large sandwich. He was hungry. He took a bite and sighed because he was thinking about Veronica.

"But we didn't talk or anything. I felt like I was in the way and being rude." Veronica was confused.

"Trust me. You aren't being rude and you aren't in my way. Really. I love that you're helping me. Thanks. Sorry I had to eat." Trevor was feeling very unstable right now. Maybe he was going crazy. He had been alone for years and as soon as a beautiful woman steps in the house, he melts. He needed to get a handle on himself.

They sat in silence as Trevor finished his sandwich. He stood and Veronica followed him without a word. They finished the welding project in silence. It was late afternoon, maybe evening.

It was dark when they left the workshop. How long had they been working? "I lost track of time. Sorry, Veronica. You probably had something better to do."

"No. Not at all. I had a wonderful time helping you." Veronica cleared her throat. "I uh, this was nice. The best day I have had in a long time. Even before I was turned. This was nice."

"What did you do before?" Trevor had to ask as they were walking up the stairs to the bedrooms. He was walking her to her room. His room was on the first floor off of the kitchen.

"Barista. I worked at a coffee shop, working on my MBA. I thought about opening a coffee shop for myself. I was really good at it. I enjoyed it. Now, I have no idea." Veronica sighed. "That dick ruined my life."

"Oh, I'm sorry! You can make coffee for me anytime. I like mine, hot, cold, iced, flavored or plain. I'm not picky." Trevor smiled at her. "I'm sorry, Veronica."

"I will keep that in mind." She smiled at Trevor.

He wanted to touch her hair again. He thought better of it and cleared his throat. "I better get some sleep." It had been too long since he slept.

Veronica nodded. "I am going to read tonight. Sit in my room and read." She smiled. "I love to read and saw some books. I hope that is okay?" She didn't want to make him mad.

"It's fine, Veronica. I am going to shower and go to bed. Have a great night." Trevor smiled and kissed her. On the lips. He pulled back and stared at her. "Shit! Sorry. I didn't mean to. I have no idea why I just did that!"

Veronica stared at him for a second and had to fight not to throw herself on him. "It's okay. Don't worry about it. Really." She was trying not to melt into the carpet.

"Well, good night." Trevor was embarrassed and almost ran to his room downstairs. He showered and thought about that small kiss. Why did he do that? Why did that feel so natural? He asked that and then repeated the kiss several times until he fell asleep.

He woke up with a start and wasn't sure if he screamed out loud or not. Another stupid vampire nightmare.

He got up, put on his workout clothes and tennis shoes and opened his door, he was going for a run. When he had nightmares, he ran for an hour. It seemed to help. Veronica was there when he opened his door. She gasped.

"Sorry! I heard you scream and I was just checking on you. Sorry. I..." Veronica stopped talking.

"Hey. Thanks for being concerned but I'm fine. Just a bad dream. Are you okay?" Trevor just looked at her.

"Fine. I'm fine. I was reading. Can't sleep every night. I'm not tired and Emma said that was normal. I was just walking the halls, being creepy in the dark." She smiled and looked down. She was looking at family photos strung down the walls in the hallway upstairs. They were a gorgeous family. They made her sad. Trevor and Emma lost everyone.

Trevor smiled. "You want to come in. I can start a fire. We can talk. Please, I'm not ready to try to sleep. Yet." He didn't wait for an answer. He flipped a switch and the fire was going. A gas fireplace. It was pretty. She closed his door and sat beside him on the loveseat.

"Is this okay? I can move to the chair if I'm crowding." Veronica was unsure.

Trevor sighed. "No, you're fine. This is nice, actually." Veronica agreed and they just watched the fire in silence. Trevor dozed off and laid his head on her shoulder. She readjusted and they were lying on the loveseat together. His head was resting on her chest and she sighed.

She should have moved but she didn't want to, so she held on tight and just laid with him and watched the fire. She took turns and watched the fire for a while and then Trevor. She studied his face while she could.

Trevor's arm was wrapped around her and even in sleep, there was no slack. She wasn't sure she could pry herself out of his arms. She sure didn't want to.

The sun was supposed to come up but she heard thunder and Veronica sighed. This night was almost over but there was no sun today. She got to watch him sleep all night.

He was beautiful for a guy and she just wanted to watch him. He didn't move or twitch the rest of the night and he didn't let her go. He was holding on tight as he woke up. He didn't realize that he fell asleep and he woke up to Veronica looking at him.

"Morning." Veronica smiled at him. Trevor just stared at her. "I was going to move but you were holding on pretty tight and I didn't want to wake you. Sorry about this." She had laid in his arms all night and it was the best night ever.

Trevor smiled. "Morning and don't worry." He pulled her closer. "I have no idea what I am doing. I should tell you that before I do something really stupid." Veronica was about to ask but Trevor leaned in and kissed her hard.

He wrapped his arms around her and she sighed. Trevor sighed and melted into her. She was perfect. "Thanks for staying." He kissed her again and again. "And not smacking me for kissing you."

Veronica laughed. She hummed as he kissed her again. "Anytime." She kissed him back and moaned. She took his shirt and slid her hands up his back. "Trevor.." She never wanted to stop.

"Veronica!" He kissed her face and neck and her chest where there was skin showing. He dragged his tongue back up her neck and kissed her mouth. She tasted so great.

"I'm going to need more room! Bed!" He stood up and pulled her to him. He crushed his mouth on hers and she wrapped around him. They walked as one person to the bed and fell onto it.

He took her top and realized there was nothing underneath. No bra. He wanted to look at her for the rest of the day. She never needed clothes. Not ever. He kissed her everywhere he could see skin.

Veronica took his pants and touched his body. This was heaven. She had died and this was her reward. He was gorgeous. Who looked like him? He was just perfect and ready for her. She was ready for him and had no interest in waiting. Maybe she was a slut but it was worth the title. She moaned in ecstasy as he slid into her.

She begged for more and he didn't want to disappoint her. If he never touched another person for the rest of his life, he was okay with that. He just wanted her. Veronica. He was in heaven.

Trevor just moaned and looked at her. "This is so stupid!" He smiled and kissed her.

Veronica took a breath. "I know! I know Trevor! Really stupid but I don't want to stop! Please, be stupid for a little longer!"

Trevor kissed her. "You are perfect and I love this. You...I mean...I.. just!" What did he just say?

Veronica smiled and kissed him. "Me too!" She smiled and just held on.

Trevor showed her what he really thought of her and he took his time. He made love to her well into the morning. They laid on the bed wrapped up together. He touched Veronica and sighed. His hands had a mind of their own but he liked what they were thinking. She grabbed him.

"That only encourages me, you know." Trevor smiled.

Veronica smiled. "I know." She giggled as he slid into her from behind. She moaned. "Oh, Trevor!" She finished and he wanted more. She gave him everything and he demanded more. He wasn't done with her.

They were wrapped together and he never wanted to stop. He never wanted to leave her. "Oh, I have twenty-nine days left of vacation. That is a lot of time to do this!" Trevor kissed her neck and sighed.

"Oh, yes! Oh!" Veronica was shocked that Trevor was ready again. He was inside her again and she just moaned. "Sounds like paradise, Trevor!" She held his hands in hers and looked into his eyes and they made love for the hundredth time. She wasn't counting. That number could be low
