CAN POV:
She wants to talk???? I don't want to talk at this precise moment.
We're soaked through and I can see every curve of her body through her flimsy white dress...
I'm sure she can see my very large curve through my soaked clothes too.
Whether it was instinct, muscle memory or just these damn tablets causing this confusion in her head...she responded to me, to my touch for the first time and turned her head so our mouths met.
We are both shivering but it's not from the cold rain still lashing down on us. Steam is literally rising from our body heat. It's from the pure adrenaline of our contact.
"I do want to talk... but right now, more than anything... I want to touch you and I want you to kiss me again, cause I need it Sanem...I need it so bad I can barely keep myself upright."
My body is juddering and I'm careful to keep my voice low and soft. There's no power in my words, just desperation.
She holding me at arms length again and is backing away. I have to let her go.
I wipe the water from my face and she does the same but her fingers linger on her lips, then she closes her eyes and reaches for my face.
She traces every inch of my skin as though she were blind. My eyebrows and eye sockets. Down my nose and across my mouth. I open my lips so she can run her fingertips across the inside of my bottom lip. I press my tongue to her index finger and I think I hear her moan.
At the next flash of lightning she snaps her eyes open and her gaze is so hot on me that my shoulders and chest tighten up.
Then she steps back in to me with a strangled sob and wraps her arms, around the back of my neck. I bury my face onto her shoulder and nuzzle below her ear breathing in her glorious rain washed scent. It's like fresh linen... All clean and light.

She bends her head back and I move my lips down until they rest between her breasts. Her chain is lodged just inside the opening of her dress and I move it with my mouth. Out pops a round circle attached to the end of it and I pull back to see what it is. My fingers grip a metal band.
Another flash in the sky illuminates the pearly swirl of white moonstone set in a silver band... Our engagement ring. She's been wearing it all the time...
SANEM POV.
He holds my ring. The tip of his index finger rubs inside the band. He looks up at me in shock as if amazed that I still have it...
I'd kept it positioned as close to my heart as I could.
I'm not sure what to say... What is he thinking? I shake my head to see if it clears my confusion and when it doesn't...pulling the chain from his grasp, I run up the steps, through the puddles and out the gate.
