Vitals

Chapter 5

The drive to the beach took only ten minutes and was a lot easier than Ora thought it would be. They listened to loud techno music the entire way. It was especially sunny out so all the windows were down and numerous times Ora would stick her head out the passenger window to feel the warm breeze on her face. This always brought a smile to Klaus' face. These were the moments he loved. Seeing Ora enjoying life and capturing memories of the small sensations.
To both Ora and Klaus' surprise, the beach was vacant. But this was good news. Klaus threw off his shirt stumbled in the sand as he ran towards the water. This made Ora giggle. She took her towel and played it out over the sand and sat down to absorb the comfortable sun.
"C'mon Ora. I didn't drag you out here just so you could sit in the sun." He ran over to Ora and firmly grabbed her wrist. This made Ora tingle and she was forced to acknowledge Klaus' intense stare highlighted by the almost horizon bounded sun. His grip forced her out of her place on the towel and brought her a couple feet of distance. In an agreeable manner, Ora slowly slid her shirt off over her head, but left her shorts tightly hugged around her waist. Obviously this was hard for Klaus not to stare at. She did it so swiftly, so seductively. But this was interrupted as she dragged a handful of water up from the edge of the shore and threw it into Klaus' face.
And a large squeal emerged as he returned the favor. It was like a dream.
The evening consisted of splashing, laughing, and playfully aggressive behavior. But eventually the sun started to set and both Ora and Klaus decided to settle down on a her towel.
"Can I take a picture?" Ora hesitated, camera already in hand.
"Haha of course!" Klaus wrapped his arm around Ora's shoulders and made a face at the camera. *click* buy he kept his arm there after the picture. She loved the feeling of his skin, it felt so right. She wanted more. Ora put her hand on the center of his chest and pushed him down onto his back. Then she fell back so her body was touching his. This surprised him but he didn't want to move. It's what she wanted and Klaus appreciated that she was taking control of the situation.
They engaged in the situation in silence. As if they both knew what each other was thinking. The mood was perfect and everything seemed right. Ora tilted her head so that her golden brown eyes made contact to Klaus' black eyes. It seemed like time stopped and her neck unintentionally leaned towards Klaus' direction. Their lips were millimeters from each other when Ora stopped. Maybe things were going to fast. Was this really how it was supposed to be? But as she started to retreat, Klaus wrapped his small lanky hand on the back of her neck and forced her onto him. She could feel his large nose pressed against her cheek. Time really did stop now. Almost like he wanted the kiss more than she did. And somehow she had caught him up on the situation.

The two lay there, half in the sand, half on the beach towel. Ora was snuggled up against his chest and Klaus' arm was around her. But then the sun went down.
