From the Heart of The Knight

15

Adrian watched her as she sat on the log next to his brother Dorian watching the flames. The flames danced slowly creating a warm glow that had covered her dusky skin. She was wearing a white crochet dress. 

They had implemented her figure, hugged her curves, and then sat over her mid-thigh. She looks divine and there aren't any other words to describe her at all. And he cannot take his eyes off her. Also, he was debating if he tells her his truth. Or he kept himself silent about the same.

"Come on Mira let's dance," Dorian told her and then took her hand in his pulling her towards the empty area. "But I don't know how to dance." She complained. "I will teach you. Follow my lead." She took his hand following his movements. "See it was easy, wasn't it?" Dorian asked her. "Yes, very but still you are a very good dancer, Dorian." Dorian laughed at that sentence.

"That is your humbleness but the truth is Adrian is a way better dancer than me." Mira turned towards him and gasped seeing that he was looking at her intensely. He stood up from his place and covered the distance between them and then he pulled her in his arms. "You owe me a dancing baby" He whispered into her ear.

Then he begins dancing with her. He pulled her impossibly closer as the slow music flowed through the speakers. He picked her up in his arms twirling her slowly. Then he held her waist moving her slowly from side to side and then pulling her into his chest. His hand slowly reached her neck pulling her face closer to him. And his other hand caressed her leg. 

"You look beautiful." He commented. "And?" She asked. "I want to take you inside and show you what I feel right now. You know Mrs. Knight, you make me feel uncontrolled of my emotions. Not in control of my actions. That is a very dangerous thing." He whispered placing his lips on her neck.

"Then why do you wish to keep me close?" She asked almost breathless and warm, feeling too warm. "This isn't close enough; I need you closer Mira. So close with nothing in between us. Me and you and no resistance. It had been years since I have felt the warmth of a body like I can feel yours." She shivered more at his words. "I...I must go" But he didn't let her. Suddenly they heard clapping and looked at his family. "Get a room" Dorian shouted. Mira hid her face in Adrian's chest feeling the blush creep in.

Adrian broke into a burst of laughter and then he picked her up and ran towards the ocean dropping her in. "Adrian" She called out feeling the waves crashing all around her. She closed her eyes tightly afraid that she might drown. "Adrian" She called again when suddenly someone picked her up on their shoulder.

 "Adrian, you..." He smiled. "You thought I have forgotten what you have told me? No honey I haven't. It is rational to fear things that might have hurt you in past but that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy them at all. Here I am holding your hand and I am not letting go. So you have nothing to fear." He told her. Then he slowly lowered himself into the water and held her hand leading her to the sea.

"Isn't it great?" He asked as they watched the sunset together. "It is beautiful thank you for bringing me here, Adrian. I never thought I would enjoy it this much. Or that I can have happy memories about any place in this world." He pulled her closer and kissed her forehead. "Now, you do. And there will be more to be made, more to be remembered. If you are with me. If you will allow me to make more of these wonderful memories with you." He asked her. And she nodded.

He pressed her lips onto hers and kissed her slowly as they remain half-submerged in water. He held her hand as they walked back towards the bonfire. "So, what do you recommend?" She asked Adrian. "Let me make you a plate baby." 

"Only if you feed me as well," Mira said and Adrian looked away a little upset. "I am sorry Adrian; I didn't mean to..." "You haven't Mira. It is alright come on. I will feed you. It is not like the first time I am doing this am I, honey?" She shook her head.
