Chapter One

I snuck across the dirt road to Ben's cabin. We were allowed to be together during the day, but not the way we wanted to be. If we are caught we'll be accused of conspiring with the devil, and we will burn at the stake for being witches. I looked around to make sure no one saw me, and then I knocked on his door. It cracked open and Ben poked his head out. He broke into a smile as soon as he saw me and pulled me through the door.

"Hey, I missed you yesterday," he breathed.

I chuckled and wrapped my arms around his waist tightly. "I saw you yesterday."

"Yes, but you didn't come over last night. I missed you then," he said and pressed his lips to mine.

"Well then, I'll just have to make it up to you," I say and push him onto his straw bed. I climb on top of him and pressed my lips to his. His arms went around my neck and I started to unbutton his shirt.

I licked his lips and he opened his mouth. My tongue explored his mouth and I pulled his shirt off. My lips moved to his neck and my hands to his trousers. I quickly untied them and pulled them down, completely exposing him.

I pulled my shirt over my head, not bothering with the buttons, and Ben pulled me back to him. He quickly pushed down my pants and breathed, "I love you John."

"I love you too," I said back. I kissed my way up and down his neck and back up to his lips. I pushed his legs up to my rib cage and positioned myself at his entrance. "Are you ready?" I asked.

"Mhm," he moaned. "Make love to me, John." I willingly obliged.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

 I woke up the next morning to sunlight streaming in my face and someone pounding on the door.

I jerked awake and untangled myself from Ben. I wasn't supposed to fall asleep. I usually stayed up till about two in the morning, then I would sneak back home.

The knocking got louder and Ben's boss yelled, "Benjamin! You're late! Get out of bed and come down to the field you bloody slacker!" The knocking stopped and his footsteps died away.

I grabbed our clothes and shook Ben's shoulder. "Ben," I hissed. "Wake up. Mr. James just came by looking for you. We gotta get to work." He groaned and sat up. I handed him his clothes and I put on my pants.

I bent over to pick up my shirt off the floor when I felt long arms wrap around my waist. Ben laid on my back and put his head on my shoulder. "Good morning, handsome," he whispered in my ear.

 I smiled and stood up and turned around. "Morning. I wish i could always spend the night." I cupped his face and bought him to my lips. I got deep so into the kiss that I didn't notice someone had opened the door until she gasped.

Anne, Ben's neighbor, stood in the threshold with a basket of apples and pears. She was his best friend, besides me, and she was in love with him. He didn't realize it, but everyone else did.

Her mouth was wide open as she took in everything. I noticed we were still pressed together, and I quickly let go of Ben's hips and backed up.

My movement broke her spell and she said, "Uh, um...Ben? What's going on?"

He looked like he was about to cry. "Please don't tell anyone Anne. It's not as bad as it seems. I'm not evil, I just fell in love." He gave her a tentative smile.

She didn't smile back; she didn't say anything as she thought about what she would do. Finally she said, "I can't accept this. What you're doing is wrong, but I won't tell anyone. Just promise you'll stop this nonsense."

Ben and I looked at each other, silently debating what we would do. Then he said, "Alright. We'll stop."

She let out a sigh in relief. "Thank you. I don’t want you to get in trouble. Oh, these are for you," she said handing the basket of fruit to Ben. Then she waved and left, shutting the door behind her.

As soon as she was gone I squished myself to Ben. "We're not really going to stop, are we?" I asked. 

He chuckled lightly. "Of course not. I love you way too much to let you go." I kissed him one more time, then we left to work.
