To Every Guy That Said Sex Can Wait…

They had been dating for a month. Kel knew his reputation. He only dated to get under a girl's shirts and she knew that even though he said she was different, she couldn't help but wonder if he was just trying to add another notch to his belt.

Kel looked over at where Dom was sitting. He was surrounded by their friends, though mainly it was the Third Company. Kel studied Dom for a moment before turning back to her friends. Dom was the Court Flirt; he had slept with probably most of the court. Neal had warned her that his cousin was a bit of a flirt and it was best not to get involved during a letter when she was a squire. She hadn't paid much attention as she had been dating Cleon and hadn't real listened to his advise (she never had).

"Kel? Are you okay?" Yuki asked, grasping her hand.

Kel smiled at Yuki who was looking at Kel worriedly. Kel squeezed her hand and nodded. Yuki had just found out that she was pregnant and Neal was more worried then ever about his wife. He had enlisted Kel's help in keeping her calm and peaceful till after the morning sickness had past and she was past the three months mark.

"I'm fine Yuki, just thinking. Are you okay? The baby isn't making you sick?"

Yuki laughed.

"Good because your husband is very worried and it is getting annoyed,"

"Excuse me Yuki but could I steal Kel away from you?" Dom asked coming up to them and placing his hands on Yuki's shoulders.

Yuki laughed again with a nod. Dom looked up at Kel and she stood up. Dom took her hand and they walked out of the Mess Hall. Dom squeezed her hand and she looked up at him.

"Are you okay? You seem quiet – quieter then usual. You okay?"

She nodded.

"I'm fine,"

Dom looked at her seriously. He didn't believe her for a second and he could sense that her mask was about to make an appearance. He pulled her along the hallway and into her room. He locked the door behind her.

"The truth now? What's the matter Kel?"

She sighed and sat on her bed. Dom followed her and sat down beside her.

"Am I just another notch in your belt?"

Dom faltered for a second, not believing what he was hearing. Before he could answer her and lent closer to him, pulled him down by the neck and kissed him. He responded immediately and kissed her fiercely. Things became heated very fast and as soon as Dom realised she was under him, he pulled away.

"Kel, what's going on? First you ask if your a notch in my belt and then try to what?"

He crawled back off her and she sat up.

"I just," she sighed realising she was very close to crying. She school her features to be blank. "I just thought if I was just another woman to sleep with you I just wanted to get it over and done with it before I got attached,"

Dom smiled faintly.

"Kel, you are the first girl I have ever asked to be my girlfriend. With you it is something different, something special and always has. You could never be some notch in my belt and I deeply care for you. I like you a lot,"

Kel nodded and Dom kissed her gently.

"And sex?" she asked quietly as he hugged her. She had put her head against his chest and he rubbed her back.

Kel knew she had to put it out there. She wasn't ready for sex even though she was nineteen. He had to know now because she wasn't exactly sure when she'd be ready – maybe not till she was married!

"Kel," he started. "Sex can wait,"

She looked up at him and he saw the vulnerability in her eyes. He nodded meaning every word he said. He would wait till she was ready, till both were ready. The truth was he was willing to wait because it was Kel…
