The Proverbial War - Page 75/141

"Colt?" I said in a small voice.

"Yes?"

"I'm not good at this."

"It shows."

"I don't know how to get a hold of how I'm changing inside." I self admitted.

The fingers of one of his hands speared through my hair to rest against the back of my neck in a warm clasp that was neither demanding nor domineering, but instead felt calming.

"Here's a suggestion. Why not embrace the change instead of fighting it?" Colt said softly.

His hand was softly urging, but it was me that leaned up and brought my lips to his in a kiss that stretched on and on. The kiss was different and completely guiltless. Why had I been against this?

Colt was the first to draw back and with a sigh he said, "This needs to be continued, but for now let's get out of here!"

I nodded in a bit of a dreamy stupor forgetting that he couldn't see me. I found myself pulled around and once again his hands settled on my hips only this time I didn't really object to it.

The stick was pressed into my hand, "Your club mademoiselle."

I smiled in the darkness and started forward.

*****

Was this eternity of darkness ever going to end?

I was growing very frustrated with the darkness and with Colt's hands. With every step forward that I took they rubbed into me and I…… I…… I didn't know what I wanted.

I tripped over a stone and the hands holding me reacted as if I'd just commenced to fall into a bottomless pit. I was abruptly hauled upward and back. I landed with a thud onto Colt's front as we both fell to the cavern floor.

"Are you all right?" Colt asked with concern.

"Let go of me!" I said in a huff, as I tried to get free.

In the process of rising I slipped and fell back on to Colt. His hands caught my hips again and in what felt like a knee-jerk reaction I seized his face with both of my hands and kissed him hard. The kiss was intoxicating and I loved it!

I pulled back abruptly and stumbled up to my feet.

"What have you done to me?" I exclaimed feeling at my lips in the dark.

I'd practically assaulted the man!

Colt chuckled wryly and I heard him getting up off the cavern floor.

"You have a funny way of looking at it Babe. A better question Honey is what you've done to me. You keep kissing me like that and things are going to escalate sooner than you may be comfortable with."
