"What are you?" I ask as I take a step closer to her. She doesn't seem threatened by my question or movement because she is still standing in the same position.
Then she turns to face me...
Before I can stop myself, my left hand traces the side of her face. And I can notice her shift away from me.
"Don't hide from me Safiya, please. This doesn't change anything -"
"This changes everything." She cuts me off. "...do you see how that works?" She asks, her voice already threatening to break down in tears.
And as I contemplate on how to say my next words, she disappears and appears behind the tree I'm resting on. Her breathing makes me shift in my spot as I find her again.
"I'm sure there's a way. I'll find a way, I promise." I say between breaths.
"Don't promise anything you can't fulfill... I don't expect you to help me."
"But I want to. I - I have to, Safiya."
She looks up at me after my words are out, like she is trying to read me. Maybe she reads minds, too.
....
"...You don't even know me." She begins again and then adds, "And yes, I do read minds." She says, and then looks away to the lake again.
"I'm not afraid of you, Safiya. And I do care. Don't you see what you are doing to me?" I say as I rake a hand through my hair, taking quick steps away from her.
"I am in love with you..."

"I need to teach you a lesson for defying me," Beau says, and in an instant, my leg on his thigh drops down beside his. He puts his other hand on my waist and lifts me off my chair. I land perfectly on him, and my eyes widen once I feel him against me.
"Yes, darlin, you are the reason for it, and you are going to satisfy it tonight."
"I'll do no such thing,"
"Oh, you will, and you are going to enjoy it" He places a kiss against my shoulder, and my eyes close as he begins to grind me against him. A moan escapes my lips, but Beau spanks my ass hard the second it does.
"Don't moan out, darlin. You don't want anyone to hear us," he says, putting his hand into my dress and caressing my ass he spanked.
"Do you?" he asks, kissing my neck and burying his head in my chest. I shake quietly as pleasure surges through my body from his hand and mouth on me.
"Good girl" He begins to grind my hips faster against his hard length.
