Daniel

Daniel carried the box of beer nuts down the steps to the cellar below.

He remembered coming here as a child and the way the damp air clung to his skin. He had to convince Sophie and Caitlin that there was a ghoul down here that would pick the skin from the bones of unwitting little girls too curious for their own good.

Looking over his shoulder at her now, it amazed him how quickly the time had gone. No longer children, but rather adults caught in a love affair without any real rules or labels.

She lowered a heavy box to the ground and her curtain of red hair fell forward, shielding her face from the lamp light. “It’s so much easier when I have help with these things,” she said, rising back up and stretching her arms above her head.

He couldn't help but smile. At five feet tall, she was a tiny thing. She had always been little, and he never let her forget it. He would affectionately come in and call her ‘midget’ in childhood, and would have continued it to do so into adulthood. His own mother had boxed his ears each time she overheard his pet name.

“What is it?” she asked. She lowered her hands and offered him a slow smile.

“Nothing. Just thinking about how short you are.”

That did it. The smile quickly disappeared and hard frown lines marred her freckled face. “The correct term is petite.” She pursed her lips and crossed her arms over her chest.

Her figure drew his eyes and had him thinking once again of what they shared together. He imagined pulling her body against him and taking her on the cellar floor. “Petite,” he agreed as he snuck closer to her, closing the distance and wrapping his arms possessively around her waist.

“And you’re no Goliath, yourself,” she said as she pressed a finger to his chest.

He had to agree. He had grown mostly early. At twelve, he had shot clear up to five foot nine, all within the space of a year. He'd grown so quickly, his mother refused to buy him a new wardrobe, claiming there was no point if he was just going to keep climbing like one of those American sequoia trees. The rest of the class, his brothers included, continue to grow tall at a slow and steady rate. He never grew again. “Still nine inches above you. Granted, that's nearly a foot,” he said and rested a hand easily on top of her red hair.

“You'll want to remove your hands if you intend to keep them,” she growled and his smile only widened.

“I do you love your fire, Caitlin Margaret Murphy,” he murmured. He lowered his lips carefully to hers until he was sure that she wouldn't strike like a viper waiting for prey. He fixed his mouth on hers in a slow, hungry kiss. And as she wrapped her own arms around his waist, pressing her nimble body to his own, he groaned as he grew hard. “What if we lock that door?” he murmured.
