Chapter 17

Sebastian

We got to the cabin seconds before it started to downpour. We laughed as we closed the door and then stood by the window and watched the rain come down in buckets. I could smell the rain as we got closer to the cabins; I could feel the wind picking up, and sense the electricity in the air.

I had been worried we wouldn’t make it back in time. While I would have loved to see Ara wet, with her clothes clinging to her body, leaving little to nothing to the imagination. I didn’t want her to catch a cold. Though the idea of warming her up held a certain appeal.

It had been years since I had seen such a force of nature. It was easy to forget the power wind and rain can have living in Southern California. We certainly didn’t get storms like the one that Ara and I got to watch. It was a little scary but beautiful at the same time. Kind of like the woman I was currently sharing a cabin with.

Her beauty was even more evident when I saw her looking out at the storm. Her eyes were bright, her hair was pushed back with moisture and possibly sweat. Her cheeks were flushed from the exertion of running the last half mile to the cabin. There was an excitement to her, a happiness, and a calm, too. All of it was sexy. I loved seeing all the different sides of her and that she allowed me to see them.

It scared me how much I cared about her, how much I loved her, and how much I just enjoyed being around her. I had wanted to take things slow with her, but after being alone with her for less than a day, I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to do that.

We had shared a moment on the lake. The kiss that I had been so excited about and believed was finally going to happen, hadn’t. Ara had pulled away. I could fault the thunder scaring her, but I had been so into wanting to kiss her, a herd of elephants could have come by and I wouldn’t have noticed.

I could see she wanted me, but she was still wary. Her eyes at times would look at me with such love, such desire, and other times, like she wasn’t sure who I was. I could understand her wariness. I had all but abandoned her when we were younger. I had never talked about what my plans were for the future or my goals. She had no idea how much she was an integral part of it all.

If I told her, she wouldn’t believe me. She would think I was just telling her so she would sleep with me. I knew I had to convince her that I was staying. My future, my happiness, everything I wanted in life was in New York, with her. There was so much I ached to tell her and hoped that I would find a way soon.
