CHAPTER 8

Sarah’s day had passed in a flurry of activity. She had organized a constant stream of entertainment to keep Megan and Bea occupied. After dinner they had had a long bath, filled with bubbles and brightly colored plastic toys. Now they were tucked up tight in bed and Sarah was free to relax. As she closed Megan’s door behind her she went straight to the kitchen to poor herself a drink.

What a day, she thought. She sipped at her wine and felt her tension start to fade. She was just about to sit down when there was a knock at the door. Her heart immediately thudded in her chest. She took a deep breath and headed into the hall.

Sarah did not turn on the lights. She wanted to be able to see her visitor before they saw her. Her front door was paneled with glass, so if she turned the inner light on all she would see would be reflections.

As she approached the door she saw a dark shape on the other side - but she couldn’t work out who it was. She went right up to the door and peered through the glass. She saw Daniel’s face break into a grin from outside. Her heart raced even faster, but in an altogether different way.

Sarah opened the door, waited for him to step inside, then flung her arms around him.

He was here.

He had come back.

It would be ok.

Daniel actually lifted her off her feet and swung her around, holding her tight. Sarah grinned so hard her face hurt.

He kissed her deeply, and again; they found themselves embracing in the hall, her heart so happy she felt it would explode.

He broke away and asked, ‘Sarah - what has happened?’

‘It doesn’t matter now,’ she replied and kissed his cool soft lips hard.

Sarah felt Daniel’s resolve to talk weaken as he got lost in their kiss. He pushed her against the wall and held her face in his hands. She felt flutters swimming up and down her body, over her skin, in her heart and tummy. He kissed her so hard she thought she would faint.

Her heart filled with love for him, and she realized, however impossible, that she really did love him. Tears welled up in her eyes, but not in sadness this time, in joy instead. His kisses covered her face and she basked in them.

Then he picked her up and put her over his shoulder.

‘Daniel! Put me down!’ She struggled against him, but giggled as she did.

He was resolute and marched on, up the stairs, flinging her back on her bed. He approached slowly, teasingly. Sarah gasped when she saw the look in his eye. It was predatory. Heat rose up her chest and into her face.

She wanted to rip his clothes off, but instead she stared into his eyes, captivated by his unbelievably good looks, as he reached for her.

He knelt between her legs. She sat up and ran her hands over his lips. She traced her fingers over his eyebrows and down his jaw. She ran them through his hair. All this time she continued to look in his eyes, searching his soul.

She ran her hands under his leather jacket and pulled it off his shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. Then she pulled his black long sleeved top off, over his head. She ran her hands over his bare chest, feeling him inhale at her touch.

She gasped once more as his passion took over and he kissed her again. She wrapped her hands around his back, holding him as close as she could. Even though his lips were cool, his breath was warm. With every kiss tingles spread though her body, healing her heart of pain and her mind of fear.

She wanted to melt into him, ‘bite me,’ she said, as she had before. He didn’t hesitate, she could feel he had wanted it, she could feel his every desire as his teeth sank into her neck. This time she was feeling so much love it didn’t even hurt. She just felt the pleasure of giving, the pleasure of sharing, the pleasure of connecting with him in the deepest way she could.

As she started to weaken he pierced his neck, in the same manner as before, and she drank - tasting the intoxicating liquid, letting it fill her and strengthen her. As she broke away she realized she was on top of him and leant back to connect via their eyes again. She kissed him
