strings of my heart

never far away

Evrin's point of view

Several months passed since the incident regarding Jess and luckily I didn't get pregnant, my parents had the chance to finally meet Alec which they liked him because of how respectful he was towards them which made me happy.

We were at my home here in Tennessee after Brantley dropped us off, we walked inside and settled in for the night. I was deciding on what to cook for dinner when I felt his hands rest against my waist as he gently placed kisses on my neck and shoulder.

Evrin: Alec...?

Alec: yeah baby?

I thought about what I was going to say when I felt a few tears forming in my eyes slowly and it got his attention.

Alec: what's wrong sweetheart?

Evrin: I'm scared...

Alec: you have nothing to be scared of baby.

Evrin: being this close to you I...

Alec: it's okay Evrin...

Evrin: Alec...?

I looked into his eyes and seen the look in his eyes and I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck and placed my head on his shoulder.

Alec: what is it baby? You don't have to be afraid to tell me what's on your mind.

Evrin: what's going to happen when you return to Australia and I'm not with you?

Alec: I know being apart scares you since we'll be thousands of miles apart but I'm never too far away, I will always be here for you baby...

Evrin: I love you...

I felt him gently kiss my neck before he whispered in my ear, I felt like there was something more that I was feeling and I didn't know what it was but I knew that I needed him more than ever and having him this close to me was something that I never wanted to forget about.

Alec: there's something on your mind baby, you can tell me.

I thought about it for a second and I felt like I was on fire for him.

Evrin: I want you Alec...

Alec: I don't want to hurt you and have you think back to that day... are you sure this is what you want to do baby?

Evrin: yes, I was scared before but I'm ready now. Just go easy on me please?

I felt him gently pull me towards him and we made as far as the fireplace and we got wrapped up in the blanket that was in the chair.

The passion we shared grew stronger with every touch we exchanged, I felt the sweat fall from his body and onto mine as we made love, I heard myself letting out soft gasps as he took control while I placed my hands on his back and he gently pulled me onto his lap, I wrapped my arms around his neck and felt him gently kiss me as we continued making love to each other.

I laid down beside him after we were finished what we were doing, I knew that he would leave in the morning and I wanted to spend as much time with him as I could before he left.

Evrin: I love you Alec.

Alec: I love you too Evrin.

I cuddled up next to him and we both fell asleep in front of the fireplace.
