Caught in Time

Chapter 35. Watched by All

-Cara-

Keegan held her cheek tenderly. His chest rose as he inhaled deeply before letting it out in a heavy sigh. The hand sneaked from her cheek into her hair. The green eyes glowed as they met hers. The intense way they studied her caused an urge to want to look away wash over her. But she couldn't.

"What are you doing to me?" He whispered and moistened his lips. Her heart felt like it was growing bigger from whatever it was that he was doing to her. It grew by the sole tenderness which he spoke to her. Did they both have these intense feelings towards one another, she wondered. Or was it just her? No. There had to be some sort of mutual affection between them.

His other arm was snaked around her back and he pulled her tightly against his body. It caused her to whimper airily when she felt him still inside her. He was still of an impressive size even thought it had been a while since he came.

"I think I do to you, what you do to me..." She said best she could in his language.

Her heart started to pound nervously in her chest. It was a very overt way of asking Keegan what he was feeling, just without the words 'do you like me'? Cara felt a bit childish for putting it like she had, but she didn't want to blurt it out. It felt better to dance around it. Then, if he rejected her, she could blame her lack of knowledge in his language. Couldn't she?

A wide smile was the only answer she was given from Keegan, and it was all she needed to feel her nervousness run off her like water. She could see the relief he was experiencing, fill his eyes, meaning that he had wanted to ask her as well, but obviously hadn't had the courage to do it yet.

-Keegan-

Cara's eyes glistened as they silently agreed that whatever they were - and had been for quite some time now - feeling towards one another, was mutual.

Keegan drew a mental sigh of relief and couldn't ever remember having felt so joyous and blissful as he did now. Before he could think to take the initiative, Cara pressed her soft lips against his. She grabbed his cheek softly. An involuntary low growl left him and his grip around her tightened. His hands loved the sensation of her soft skin in them and he enjoyed the moment immensely.

"I want you again." The words literally slipped out of him. He breathed heavily as the kiss ended, first after it had taken a very fiery turn after what he'd said.

He grew hard agan when he noticed how she responded so quickly to what he had said. Her lips clung to his, signaling her confirmation. He stole a much deeper and harder kiss just as the previous ended.  

Then, something caught his attention. A sound ripped him from the paradise he was currently experiencing. He froze instantly. His grip around Cara stiffened. She noticed that his attention had left her for something around them and stiffened as well. Her hands dropped from his cheeks to his shoulders. 

"What is it?" She asked in a whisper. Her forehead leaning against his.

"Quiet." He breathed and studied their surroundings closely with his eyes, not moving an inch from where they sat. "Be still."

It sounded like a twig breaking... or someone stepping on some dead branches. He kept listening while pretending to just sit there with Cara. Whomever it is, they aren't as good at sneaking as one need to be in this terrain. He thought darkly.

"What is it?" She whispered impatiently, slightly squirming in his embrace. Wanting to cover herself. He could hear the fear in her voice but she followed his lead; she did nothing and kept from moving.
