The Space She Invades - Chapter 9: Riding Out The Day's Events
Dean wandered into the kitchen to see Sarah and Duncan attempting to make lunch. Duncan was grabbing at her and she was giggling. She tried unsuccessfully to balance the ingredients and fend him off at the same time. The lunch hit the floor and she fell into his arms for an extended kiss.
Dean wasn’t sure how much more he could take of their cutsie romance. Duncan as love-sick suitor was really starting to grate on Dean’s nerves.
“Hey,” Dean said sharply as he walked over to separate them.
Duncan glared at him. “Don’t you have some place else to be? Maybe some training to do?” he suggested and tilted his head toward Sarah.
“You two aren’t supposed to be left alone. Where’s Connor?”
Duncan pointed toward the backyard and Dean could see Connor standing alone on the deck, leaning on the railing. Sighing, Dean grabbed Duncan’s arm and tried to drag him outside.
Duncan pulled away and grabbed Sarah, giving her a quick kiss. “My bodyguard seems to need me. Be right back.”
She smiled. “I’ll be waiting,” she said and indicated he should meet her upstairs.
Dean rolled his eyes. “There will be none of that. Come on, Loverboy.” He pushed Duncan out the door. Sarah giggled as Duncan threw her a kiss.
Dean really hated his role as a cockblocker. Seriously, it went against his nature to deny a friend his fun. Hell, wasn’t he trying to get Sam laid right now? And Richie would never have any decent companionship if it wasn’t for his excellent matchmaking skills.
But this was different; he knew Sarah would never forgive them if something happened. Certainly, it might damage Duncan and Connor’s relationship, too. He couldn’t see Sam being all forgiving if he’d slept with his girlfriend. Dean snickered to himself. Well, there was that one time in high school that he’d stolen Sam’s date, but they were young and she was too hot for Sam.
Out on the porch he walked over to Connor. “Dude, you were supposed to be watching them.”
Connor looked over at Dean. “They were making lunch and I needed some air.”
Dean smirked, “Clearly you don’t know the power of lunch meats and a big kitchen table.”
Connor blanched. “They didn’t…” He glanced at the kitchen window to see Sarah and Duncan exchanging googgily faces through the window.
Dean watched the disgusting display. “No, but man you have to be vigilant.” Dean called to Duncan. “Hey Mac, do we need to have that talk again?”
Duncan gave a little wave to Sarah and walked over to slouch against the deck railing. “What is your problem? I love her. She loves me.” He sounded like a grumpy teenager.
“Dude, I explained this. That’s not Debra. And Sarah is Connor’s girl. You have to snap out of this.”
Duncan straightened and faced Connor. “What is she to you? She is the love of my life. I won’t give her up.”
Connor just sighed. “Duncan, you’re not yourself, so it’s best we don’t discuss this.” He headed toward the back door.
“Oh, no you don’t,” Duncan snarled. “You are not going after my woman!” He grabbed Connor and pushed him away from the house and back against the deck railing.
Next thing Dean knew Duncan had drawn his sword. Damn he hadn’t realized Duncan still had it on him. He was kicking himself for not taking it away. “Whoa, Mac. This is not a good idea.”
Duncan whirled on Dean. “She’s mine and I won’t give her up.” Duncan waved the sword menacingly toward them and backed up to the kitchen door.
“Mac put the sword away, man,” Dean said calmly
“Stay back. We’re leaving and you can’t stop us. I’ll take your head if I have to,” he said angrily. “Yours too, Connor.” He swung the sword between them.
Connor stepped between Dean and Duncan. “Duncan, listen to me. You don’t want to do this. You’re not thinking clearly,” Connor said, trying to reason with him.
“Jesus Christ, Mac.” Dean sighed. “Move, Con,” he commanded and pulled his gun. Once the older Immortal was out of the way, he shot Duncan twice in the chest.
Duncan’s hand went to his chest as he collapsed to his knees. A moment later he was dead.
Connor whirled on Dean. “Was that really necessary?”
Dean shrugged off Connors concerns. “He’ll heal and he’s much easier to tie up if he’s not resisting.”
Connor snickered. “Well, you do have a point.”
“So, glad you approve.” Dean grabbed Duncan’s arms to lift him up. “Now, help me get him inside.”
Suddenly, the back door was flung open and Sarah launched herself at Dean. “You bastard! You killed him!” she screamed, knocked Dean to the ground, and began hitting him.
Dean fended her off and got one good blow to her jaw before Connor pulled her off from behind. She was kicking and screaming like a wildcat. “Bring her into the kitchen,” he commanded and ran into the house to grab some rope and his handcuffs from the duffel in the living room.
Connor held a still struggling Sarah onto the kitchen chair while Dean tied her down. Then they hand cuffed a “dead” Duncan to another chair. Exhausted, they both headed in to the living room and collapsed on the sofa.
Connor sighed. “It’s just going to get worse, isn’t it?”
“Yep.” Dean acknowledged and the added silently. Hurry up, Sammy.

Dinner finished Katie and Sam returned to the room. As he opened the door, he caught the sound of Katie yawning.
“Tired?”
She nodded. “I can’t imagine why?”
“We’ll get some rest and head out to the grave in the morning. We can drive to within three miles of the site before we have to hike the rest of the way.”
“Sounds like a plan. Dean would be appalled.” She stood in the middle of the room facing him, unsure what to do next.
Sam laughed. “True, and I have another one. You take the bed and I’ll grab a piece of floor.”
He watched several emotions run across her face. After a few days together he’d learned to recognize her confused face. “What?”
“I just thought…that is… I mean...” Katie tried unsuccessfully to express her thought. She looked a little disappointed or maybe scared.
Sam figured she was scared and stepped to embrace her. “There’s nothing to worry about. Most of the prep will go unneeded, really. You’ll see.” He was trying very hard to make her feel better but the more he talked the more he could feel her shaking against him. There was a muffled sound against his shoulder. Was she crying? He pushed back to see her biting her lip trying to stifle a laugh and took another step back.
“You know Dean is right?” she gasped out between giggles.
Now Sam was the one wearing the confused face. “Huh?”
“How do you ever get laid without his help?”
Sam blanched at her straight forward declaration. “I didn’t think with everything that was happening…I mean, I want to,” he finally admitted.
She folded herself arms and looked up at him. “We are in a romantic country inn and face unknown dangers tomorrow. Didn’t you ever see Terminator?” she said by way of explanation.
“Actually too many times to count; Dean loves that movie.” He smiled and leaned into her. She met his lips and then he deepened the kiss. He wasn’t sure they were going to get much sleep tonight after all.
****************************************
The night had almost ended before it started.
He hadn’t thought to bring protection but then he remembered Dean fiddling with his luggage at the airport. A search of the outer pockets on the larger suitcase revealed that sometimes having a hound for a brother paid off. He made Katie swear that she wouldn’t mention it to Dean.
As they lay there sated from their first time together she began giggling madly.
Sam was beginning to feel embarrassed when she reached over him to grab his cell phone off the nightstand.
“What do you think you’re doing?” he asked.
“Calling Dean,” she giggled.
“What? Why?” He tried to snatch the phone from her.
She scooted to the edge of the bed holding the sheet protectively over her nudity. “I figured I should thank him. If he wasn’t so invested in your sex life, I might not be so happy right now.”
Sam smiled at the compliment but there was no way he was letting her call Dean. With an evil gleam in his eye, he yanked the sheet away. She yelped and attempted to grab at it. As she moved, he captured her in an embrace and took hold of the phone. “I don’t think this is the kind of update that Dean was thinking of when we promised to check in,” he teased and tossed the phone off the bed.
“Actually, I think it was,” she quipped.
“Thinking about my brother while we are both sitting here naked isn’t doing much for my libido.”
“Oh, maybe not for yours…” she teased.
“Hey!” He rolled her over onto her back and kissed her until her giggling subsided. “Much better,” he said as he fell into her embrace.
