Lihat lebih banyakSammy wakes languish with the early morning sun caressing her naked body. A smile plays seductively around her kissed bruised lips. Her body still aches with the sensual pleasures she has experience all night long. Her sleepy eyes searches the bedroom when it is clear to her that her lover has left their bed. Her smouldering brown eyes found him standing in front of the window. His tall muscular body cover in only a towel that he has wrap around his waist.
“Morning,” she purrs in a very sensual voice that she hardly recognises as her own. For a moment cast in silhouettes she watches him turn around to face her. He moves towards the bed, climbing back on laying down beside her. He stills wears the same smile that made her end up married to him. Making her forgot her fears she was captured, seduced and loved by him.
“Good morning gorgeous, sleep well,” he asks while teasing the corner of her mouth with featherlike kisses that drives her into wanting more. That magic kiss is just enough to spin her world back into a kaleidoscope of sensual colours.
“Peter,” she whispers breathless with anticipation of what is about to ensue again. The shared but very brief kiss is filled with so much promise for what is to be gained in their shared union. It is clear to them both they found each other magical.
“You are mine my love,”
“Yes, always,”
“I must confess my love, only death in time will separate you from me. The one who tries to take you from me will pay dearly.” His arms encircle her waist pulling her against him, feeling the shudder that goes through her body.
Sammy closes her eyes briefly concealing the darkness she has learned to embrace and hide within herself. She draws comfort from the strong arms around her knowing if he ever should learn about her he will regret knowing her. For now she will enjoy what life has given her.
Peter is no blind man but he is patient. He will enjoy the precious gift life has given him. Looking into her brown eyes he couldn’t for the life of him conceal his admiration for the beautiful woman that is his.
“My gorgeous Sammy, I can’t believe the Gods are this favourable with me, with us, I knew all I need was just one touch, one whisper and one kiss and I am yours forever and much more. I will never allow another woman into my heart. This place is reserve for only you.” He seals his promise with the tenders’ loving kiss that brings tears to her eyes.
“Peter,” she breathes possessively.
“Yours always but no more tears, all I want in these beautiful eyes is the light of love and laughter.” Climbing from the bed he bend over her and bodily picks her up into his arms and carries her to the balcony where a morning feast is waiting for them.
“My love we both had the most sensual evening behind us but today we could certainly do with this feast. It’s time we leave our heaven for the day and go out exploring the streets of Cape Town.
Sammy says nothing just watches him with the knowledge of last night still shining in her mischievously twinkling brown eyes. While enjoying breakfast she senses at the edge of her heart the lurking shadows of darkness that tries to invade her thoughts but she learned to keep a tight rein on them for now.
Sammy watches her husband with a tender smile curving around her lips.
Peter accepts the smile at face value since it is always clear to him that in every touch of hers, gesture that she feels the same about him. There is such honesty in those beautiful eyes but he did notice the lurking fear within their depths. A jaded man where woman are concerned, she however there is simply magic about her, no denying that. He will protect her with his life that is for certain.
“Sammy, “
Peter found her with still twinkling eyes in front of the mirror. His heart fills with joy watching her. He really can’t believe this unbelievable woman is his.
“I was just looking at myself. Did you know I never thought myself beautiful until I saw the truth in your eyes? I actually find myself interesting.” She smiles into his eyes reflected within the mirror.
“I am a man and am not supposed to admit this kind of weakness but I practically had fallen over my feet the moment I saw you. That first sight of you captivated me in such a manner that I just knew if you were mine, you would be the most sensually erotic woman. I was in love with you before I look into your eyes. Did you know how frightened I was when for a moment I blinked and I couldn’t see you at that very moment I vowed to myself never to blink whenever I am looking at you? I knew a fear like no other. I won’t be able to handle it if I should ever lose you.”
“You lost me for a moment but caught me before the end of that day. I am still surprise that you manage to make me yours so fast but I love that fact.”
“I don’t want to lose you my love,”
“My Peter,”
The reflection of his profile entwined with hers within the casting of the mirror. Soft brown eyes lock with more serious darker eyes. Both saw at that moment their eyes were the window to their souls. In tune with each other they simply move into a shared embrace filled with all the unspoken emotions they still like to share.
“I have to confess a truth about me, Peter,”
“Tell me,” He sits on the side of the dresser pulling her between his legs settling her against his heart.
“From the first moment you looked into my eyes helping me back onto my feet you always looked directly at me. It’s important that I can read your intimate expression. If you can help it, never look with lies in your eyes at me. I won’t be able to handle such a betrayal not twice.”
Peter sees the potential of rawness for such an action on his part. He found himself instantly concerned.
“Who hurt you my love?”
“I don’t know. The thought is just there. We know nothing about each other accept from the instant we met we knew without a doubt we love each other. Fate brought us together because I knew your face long before I knew what name to write onto my heart.”
Sammy can hear his heart beat.
“There should be no lies between us,”
“I promise to the best of my abilities, love.”
Sammy inhale deeply knowing she trust him with her life.
“I had long since learned to embrace the night as my cover of safety. I was running Peter until you stop me. There is demons from my past chasing me. Your love showed me I don’t have to be afraid. I no longer wake with tears on my pillow.”
“Who made you so afraid that you run?”
“I want you to know everything about me but you planned a day for us. Can we enjoy that before seriousness sets in?”
“Hear me well Sammy, I want to be your solid rock of trust, confidence and safety. Allow me to know your heart and mind as intimately as I know your body. You are right my love, we should talk about our family and our individual past but for today I want to give you a perfect day like the nights you had given so boldly and beautifully”
“It certainly can be arranged,” the sombre look is slowly replaced with the now known mischievous twinkle in her soft brown eyes.
Peter found himself falling continuously into the wealth of her eyes. His mouth claims her teasing lips into a devouring kiss that drives them both sensually towards the play field of ecstasy. Pulling her tightly against the framework of his body the pleasurable intent clear on both their part but the insistent ringing of the phone manage to halt them both. With clear annoyance and still holding her against him he answers the call.
Sammy stays leaning against his chest listening to the beating of his heart. The sound gives her such a sense of safety. Placing her hand across his chest she smiles for the still continuing whirlpool of loving.
Her instinct about impending darkness makes the odd notion takes root within her that she shouldn’t step from the hotel. The gloomy thought settles quickly with a tight grip around her heart. She instinctively senses the fear just behind the door.
Peter finishes his conversation finding her clutching his robe tightly her knuckles white her eyes at the door holding her in a hypnotise state.
“What’s wrong my love?”
Sammy swallows several times to gulp down the knot in her throat.
“I am being silly,”
“I don’t care. What worries you beyond the door?”
Her hand reaches up to caress his stubble cheek trying her best to removes the darkness from her eyes. He is no fool reading the fear and worry.
“You will always be safe with me Sammy.”
“I know that from the first moment. I want to tell you about my life but let’s enjoy the day you have planned. Tomorrow is still there. Go and shower.”
Join me,” he suggest with a sexy wink.
“This day won’t see the sight of us if I do and you that.”
Sammy found her back in front of the mirror. There seem to be a strange allure about her reflection. She has the odd notion there is something she is forgetting…
Desire continuously sparkled with a growing intensity that covers leaps and bounds of strength. Their joined heat was heightening also the pleasurable enjoyment completely obvious between them. Tears revealed the intensity of what she was feeling. Peter softly kissed the warm salty drops away before setting about loving the woman who filled him completely. There was no fancy tricks just simple desirous lovemaking. Sammy gasp as Peter leaned forward and kissed her deeply arousing her to heights of extreme sensitivity. He was awakening her now his mouth slip from hers traveling across her exposed throat teasing the beating pulse that throbbed so crazily. She gasps anew when his burning lips closed over one nipple, kissing, teasing clearly enjoying her. The nipple was erect standing proudly closed to his mouth that played over it again before the other nipple received the same pleasurable treatment. A breathless shocked moan escaped over her lips but he
Sammy opened her eyes. The first thing she noticed was the white wall. When she tried to move she discovered she was seriously drowsy. Just before alarm set in, she became aware she wasn’t alone.A relief like she never felt set in when she found her looking into the sleepy face of the man she remembered calling in her desperate hour of need. Leaning back against the pillow she closed her eyes. Sleep enfolded her gently.Sammy opened her eyes much later. She just stared at the gathering of people sitting quietly around her bed. They all appear in a state of sleep. Then she saw this time without alarm the shadows of her own family. They had gathered around Peter, her Daddy resting his hand on Peter’s left shoulder while mommy was doing the exact with his right shoulder. Danny sat knelt in front of him.“I love you too,” she whispered. Their silhouettes vanished forever but the memories of them were now fully intact.A strong secure
Sammy found her falling down into a deep black abyss. Her hands were held out in appeal to be set free. All she heard around her was her own screams and that crazy laughter. She was falling and it felt like it was never ending.“Wake up, love.”Peter shook her firm but with definite intensity. Her eyes flew opened up she don’t seemed awake really. She was more in a trance.Sammy climbed from the bed. Like it was the most normal thing in the world especially that time of night she reached for that rucksack.“What are you doing?”Peter had switched on the light.“I should get dressed.”“Where do you want to go this time of the night?”“I must search for the answer.”“Do you know what the question is, love?’“No. The quest is on. I must not fail.”“Who am I on this quest, love?”Peter watched her wonder
Sammy was thoughtful for a long time while she just looked at him. Strange words were whirling around in her mind.“What are you thinking now, love?’“You keep placing that term of endearment at my feet. Why?’“It suites you do you mind?”“Your wife might.”“She won’t. Once you let her into your heart, you’ll know.”“Sometimes the way you are talking, I should now her. Am I right Peter?”“You know my wife better than anyone in this world. You are two halves of the same coin.”“How is that possible? I was ill for a long time.”“That is the truth of another. Your version of events will come full circle.”“Peter, why are you talking like this? What do you really know about me? The way you sometimes talk, I feel like you are treating carefully around me.”“Life is sometimes n
Sammy opened her eyes. For the longest time she just looked. The sun was setting behind the family tableau. The man was tall with an easy going smile directed at the beautiful woman who held the hand of the little boy who was trying his best to walk. The boy was all giggles.“I can see a family. They are happy.”“Where do you find yourself in the picture?”Sammy looked around before growing restless. She felt the caressing hand on her back. This gesture calmed her taking away the fear. She blinked.“I am back at the crossroad. The family is gone.”“Don’t worry. Take another walk. Learn what’s in your mind.”“I am afraid.”“Don’t be. Remember within your dream my arms are safely around you. No one will pass the circle of safety.”“Hold me tight.”“Never fear.”Peter settled her more securely beside him.
Sammy was lying in the hammock. When Peter joined her their bodies rolled intimately together. Just like in her bedroom she nestled within the framework of his tall body.“I seem so at ease with you. It’s rather strange. I can even say I trust you instinctively. Go ahead with the tale. I think though you might have jumped the story a bit. You seemed lost to me when you entered the shop. What happened before you went there?”“You are right. Let me see. Oh yes. I had seen this beautiful creature as I stepped from the plane. It was a long business flight and I was tired. She was instantly on sight like a magic tonic that revived me in a flash. The airport was busy that day. I want to be as close to her as possible but like an elusive butterfly she kept avoiding me. The more I want to catch up with her the more I lost sight of her.”“You did catch her though?”Her expression was filled with child-like eagerness reveal
Peter stood in the open door looking at the rumpled bed. He just can’t get use to how quick his wife could move about. Without being told he knew where he would find her. She just can’t seem to stay away from that house.“I know who killed my parents. They are haunting me, making me a liar.”He stood there within the door while the words were whirling around in his mind. He was startled out of his reverie when a hand touched his arm firmly.“It’s time that we talk, brother in law.”Peter looked into the very serious face of Charlie Hoffman. When she turned he followed her. In the living room he noticed all the drawing was against the wall.“You question me and I’ll answer.”“I want Sammy here. Could you arrange this?”“Most things are possible with me. However you know there are too many players in this lover’s tale. You must learn the truth about each
Sammy was in her workshop drawing images that flow from her mind. Everything was dark and sinister. Peter took David by the arm and led him into the small kitchen. He left the door ajar wanting to keep an eye on her.“What do you know?”“Sammy is a very private person. You are very close to her. Watch her, listen, guard, you’ll know what to do. Find her diary.”Peter sat in the chair quietly watching his wife. She was so intent on her drawings that she didn’t even seemed aware of his presence. He reached into his jacket’s inner pockets. The rings were still hidden in safety. Slipping his hand within the other pocket he retrieved the small diary.Turning a couple of pages he found the difference from innocent girl turning her written word moody, frightened, and lost.“Dear mommy and daddy,I woke this morning and found you gone. Why did you leave me alone?&r
Peter walked across the floor and gently but firm helped Margie from the bedroom. It suddenly dawned on him. Quietly opening the door he checked it. Closing it he locked it hearing the bolts shut into place. Looking at the door a worry builds inside of him. Turning he faced her. She had climbed so silently from her hiding place. “Am I deluded?” Peter walked over to her. He took her by the hand and led her to the bed making her sit on top while he knelt before her. “Love, I gathered at first that you didn’t recognize me. Instinctively though you did know me. Deluded you are not. For some reason or another someone in this house are playing tricks on you.” He kept his tone soft and even wondering absently if the room wasn’t bugged by chance. “Why would it be done? I am harmless, aren’t I?” “I don’t know. Something isn’t right in your family. After our last puzzled conversation I did a bit of checking. Everything was shrouded in secrecy. Tell me,
