Effie NYE

Kagura mountain lodge was huge and offered many dark corners and empty hallways, especially on the upper floor. John had endured the party for as long as he could stand, watching Effie as she made her rounds through the crowd. She was so beautiful and the way she interacted with people was so effortless. John was truly jealous of her in that way.

But then the clock struck twelve and she was at his side, kissing him into the new year. Blood pounded in his ears and his groin and before John knew what he was doing he'd taken hold of her wrist and was dragging her off. Away from the crowd. Down a hallway, kissing her and touching her. Shoving her against the wall to ruck up her skirt and feel the bare flesh of her thigh above her stockings on the landing of the stairs leading downward.

"Effie," he gasped into her mouth. The single soft word echoed in the empty stairwell.

She can hear the sound of her nails scraping down the wood of the door, the sound of his flesh against hers, the way he's breathing. She can feel how his fingertips are digging into her hips. All of it somehow initially louder and more intense than the feel of him fucking into her. Like her brain is focusing on the minor details before it can register the enormity of the main event. Not because she doesn't want it -- she desperately wants it -- but because the sensations are beyond overwhelming.

And then, between one heartbeat and the next, everything snaps into crystal clear focus and she makes a sound that's almost a growl. Pushing back against him, trying to find some way to reach him, to touch him. "I need...I need," she tries to get the words out but she can barely breathe around the pounding of her heart. "Your hands... skin...please."

The smack makes her gasp and flush, just the way she likes it. Always him giving it to her just the way she likes it and so she never says no. Never resists. It makes them fit so beautifully and she never looks at it, never examines the dynamics of it because she doesn't need to. Doesn't want to. He can give her pain and fear in measured doses. He controls it. And if he can control her pain and her fear then he can keep her safe and she needs him. Needs him to keep control because she doesn't know where the limits are anymore. She doesn't know if she ever did.

Pushing back she meets his every thrust, urging him on, squeezing around him, giving him everything she can to make it good. Better than good. She wants the fingertip bruises on her hips, the burn of the smack, she wants his sweat and his spit on her skin. She wants all of him on all of her until there is nothing left in her to think about tomorrow. Just this. Just now. "I love you. Fuck, I love you. Do it. Do it."

It starts out so gently, just the slightest trembling in her hands, her arms. Then it moves down her body until she's shaking all over and at first she thinks it's just sensory overload. It would be far from the first time she's been left that way. The feel of his mouth on her cunt, his hands on her thighs, every inch of her over sensitized and wrung out.

But then it's something else entirely and it hits her so hard and so fast it steals the breath from her lungs. As though a bubble had burst and the water is rushing in, a freezing wave that's crashing over her and sucking her under. She loves him so fucking much and she's so fucking scared and no matter how hard she tries to block it out, it's there now. All that fear is there now and she doesn't know what to do to save herself from drowning.

She sucks in a desperate, gasping breath before she starts to cry. The trembling turning into shaking as her knees go out from under her.

The pain of the loss squeezes her heart to the point where she has to fight to breathe around it. As profound as the moment Peeta told her. Even through the drink and the drugs and John's arms around her and the time that's passed since they'd gone. It's fresh and raw and it aches down into her bones.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She isn't sure what she's apologizing for, maybe everything. Ruining the night, making him have to comfort her, not being able to stop crying. Not being stronger, maybe. "I just want them back, John. I want them back. I'm sorry."

She lays her head on his chest and closes her eyes. Desperate to try and find that numbness again that she'd worked so hard for.

"I need this to be real, John. I need it to be real. Do you understand? I can't..."

Her voice is wet from tears and the words are broken by her breathing, but they're there. The fear so overwhelming she'll do anything to block it out. She knows he's heard it before, she knows he understands why she's scared, but that doesn't stop her from needing reassurance. It doesn't stop her from needing to hear him say it so she won't be alone.

"They've gone and I don't know where and I don't...I don't know if they...if they don't remember this I can't stand it, I can't stand this. Please just let this be real."
