delicious as this pepperoni pizza that I just ordered. I don’t think that I could be attracted to a one hundred and thirty year old man…can I? No of course not. I look over at his beautifully lined facial hair, neatly cropped hair on his head, and my stomach flutters. I’m in trouble. I may have to help him get a job an apartment soon. “So Keyan… I ordered pizza. I’m starving what about you?” “Yes I am completely famished.” He flops beside me onto my bed. I nervously slide away and he notices. “Is there something wrong?” “No, why would you say that?” I giggle. “No reason. Let’s eat.” I pull a slice of pizza from the round pie and the cheese stretches. Keyan smiles and I melt. Dammit! I knew that his smile was bright, but this is so intoxicating. I take in a big gulp of air and bite into the slice. I flip on the television and we sit there eating while watching TV. The time passes and my eyes start to get heavy. I lay back and Keyan watches. He smiles as if he is watching a baby fall asleep. His smile is sweet and innocent. I can’t believe I didn’t notice it with all of the wool on his head and face. But wow…some girl is going to be very lucky. “Are you tired McKenna? I could turn off the tube and leave your room.” “No you go ahead and watch it. I know that it can help with bringing you up to speed with how things have changed and life in America. I’m going to change though. I have night clothes for you as well.” He nods and his attention goes back onto the screen. I go in the bathroom and wash my face. I quickly change into my pj’s. I hurry back to the bed and his eyes are glued. He doesn’t even notice that I have slid beneath the covers. I gaze at the back of his head trying to control the urge to run my fingers through it. I remember washing his over grown locks and his tight bottom as he cannon balled into the air and landed into the springs in Palasca.~ ***** I focus my eyes onto the one that I love more than anything else in this world. My heart thumps at the sound of his voice. He whispers I love you into my ear, plants kisses on my neck, and down my collar bone reaching the dip between my breasts. He licks his tongue out and playfully teases my skin with it. Between my thighs are on fire. I feel the moistness building as he cups my breast. His gentle touch is as delicate as I am. He barely touches my skin as his hands move down and rubs my belly. I quiver beneath him. He works the skin beneath his fingers as if he is kneading dough. My hips are twisting with want. Inside my head I’m begging for him to take me. We’ve waited long enough. The tension is too high. I need him now. I want to look into his eyes and tell him to ‘make love to me. I’m yours.’ I slide my hands into his hair and grip it tightly. I lift his head so that our eyes meet. I want Rylan to know that I’m ready. When our eyes meet they are not the green eyes that I expect. They are the bluest blue. Bluer than I have ever seen, they draw me in. “I want you Keyan. Please be gentle. I belong to you forever. Make me new.” I breathe the words without regret. He doesn’t speak. He just follows my instructions. His lips are magnetic against my skin. The electric jolts send my mind whirling. I can’t stop the emotions that I’m feeling. And even though I’m willing in my mind to change this person into Rylan, I am glad that it’s not him. He asks permission to remove my pants in the most polite tone and I beg him to. I kick them off and when I am completely nude he joins me by stripping down as well. We lie there naked, waiting for the cue to proceed. My body twists with desire. All of my inhibitions leave and I beg him to enter. I reach down between us to feel what he has to offer. And for some reason the gods have been good to this amaranth. I help as he steers toward a cave he has never explored before… ***** I jump up from my dream drenched with sweat. My chest rises and falls
