away.
Connor got up, took a few steps over from
where he sat earlier and slid Tool back into his belt loop. As he
left the small clearing he felt Sarah staring at him
***
“What a great dream…” “Sun’s almost up Princess, time to wake up.” “Why? I’m so happy right here. Just a little
longer, please… Oh what a deep and sexy voice… Connor?”
At that moment Sarah slowly turned her
head to the sound of his voice and her eyes shot open, finding
Connor’s handsome features just inches from her own. She stop dead
in her tracks and held herself completely still. “Don’t move Sarah.” She told herself
wildly. “Wow! I can’t look away from those
soul piercing hazel eyes.” Another part of her told
him, “Kiss me. Kiss me. Kiss me…” All the while he held her Sarah’s heart kept beating faster
and faster. This was the best wake up of her existence. Only she
hoped he couldn’t hear her heart beating.
Feeing a soft breeze chill the cold
plastic on her back Connor pulled away from her very slowly. “No! Don’t go.” He tilted his head up
and sniffed the air for something. She did as well, but couldn’t
detect anything except the fresh smell after a good rain. He spoke
quickly in embarrassment “Are you hungry? I smell apples. I go get
us some breakfast.”
“No. Don’t go. Stay here
with me.” Instead iv voicing that plea she heard
herself say “Ok I’ll be right here.”
Connor stood up, taking his warmth with him,
but his musky male scent lingered and she enjoyed it. He picked up
Tool his hammer/hatchet thing and Sarah watch him disappear into
the dark forest. His walk was so silent that if she wasn’t watching
him leave, she would swear he didn’t exist. He then melded into the
forest like the shadows and Connor were one again.
Thinking back to when their faces were
so close, her face flushed so brightly that the tips of her ears
burned hotter than ever. “Wait! Did I
really want Connor to kiss me?” In the back of her
mind she heard a voice demand “YES!”
Sarah realized in the short time of
being alone that she still wore the poncho that Connor loaned, yet
the rain was long gone and the sun brought the dawn again. “Not only is he sweet; he thought ahead to keep me
dry and warm…” She slid the poncho over her head and
sat it aside after folding it back up and knocking out much of the
rain.
“Now it is my turn to be patient and wait on
Connor, after all he took time out of his life to see that I was
ok.”
***
“Alright time to go back to
Sarah. Six apples should be enough to satisfy us for a little
while.” Stepping back into the small clearing Connor
stopped dead in his tracks. Sarah just sat there, comfortable yet
alert, like a regal queen.
When she finally realized he returned she
said in a sly way “Finally! You're back, Connor. I’m hungry, how
many did you bring?”
“Six.” He said, still mesmerized by her
beauty and lovely smile.
Connor sat down in front of her and handed
over three apples. She bit into the apple and groaned with
pleasure. Apparently she was quite hungry. She ate the other two
that were given in quick order. So he gave her his last one since
he already finished off two.
When she finished tossing the core into the
woods Connor asked “How did you sleep?”
“Very well thank you, I would have been
miserable without your help… and company…last night I mean.” She
smiled and glanced at him from under her long eyelashes while
biting her bottom lip. This in turn, made his heart race.
“Glad to be of some help.”
When it became bright enough to travel, he
looked at Sarah to ask “Ready?”
She looked around the trees and then at him.
Understanding what Connor meant she said “Yep.”
Connor stood up first and held out his hand.
When she took it he felt that same jolt again. It seared trough him
from where they touched. He couldn’t stop himself from asking “Did
you feel that too?”
“Weird huh?” And
