-Karen-“Like cheesecake?” I asked grabbing a fork and cutting off a small piece from the center and eating it. They laughed at the unexpected look on my face. “That was not cheesecake… But it is delicious!” I started to cut another piece when Conor stopped me. “Hold on, Kay. You have some presents to open first.” Conor instructed pulling my hand away from the cake. “We bought thank you presents for protecting us from the demons but now that we found out it was your birthday. They can be both.”“Presents? But I-” He stopped me talking by shoving a piece of chocolate in my mouth. “Chocolate wins.” He motioned to me to sit down in my chair as he handed me a tiny box with a purple ribbon tied around it. I gave him a look and opened it. In the box I found a pair of drop earrings that had a large purple stone surrounded by tiny gray stones. “These are beautiful!” I giggled at a thought that crossed my mind. “It’s almost like it’s us…” I said lightly touching the earrings. Joanne came over
-Karen-“No Karen. No, it’s perfectly fine, my love.” He kissed my lips. “I knew it was going to be hard for you to trust me. Especially with the past you’ve had. We’ve had set backs along the way but more than anything I have done my best to show you and tell you how much I want you even when you tried to leave last week. I know you’ve struggled and that’s okay but I want to reinforce my words to you. So, I have an honest question for you: Do you think I would turn my back on you and leave you behind after everything that has happened?” He asked seriously.“Not at all, Conor. I don’t think you would unless you had no other choice.” I whispered without hesitation.“Even if I didn’t have a choice, I would stand by you. Karen, with this ring, I promise that no matter what happens in this life, I will never turn my back on you. I won’t abandon you and leave you behind. I won't let you wonder if you aren’t good enough because you’re my idea of perfection. Everything about you; scars, tear
-Karen-“I’m fine, Conor. Those pesky demons didn’t touch me at all.” I replied returning my gaze to the snow covered fountain. It snowed! It snowed a lot! I stared out at it for a few minutes until I couldn’t contain my excitement anymore. I unclasped the cloak and ran out into a two feet of snow squealing like a happy child. “Snow! It snowed!!” I danced happily in the snow for twenty minutes as my chest heaved from breathing the cold air. I looked over at the three of them as they stood in the hall watching me like I lost my mind.I ran over to them and grabbed on to Joanne’s warm hands. She gasped at my touch. “Come play in the snow with me!” I squealed as I pulled her out to the nearest snow drift and pushed her in to it. She laughed excitedly. “This is called snow?!” She asked patting the white fluff. “It’s been falling since last night. We’ve all been too afraid to come out into it.” I giggled excitedly. I balled up some snow and threw it at her. “Ah! Kay!” I did it again until
-Karen-I was awoken by an attack of kisses on my neck. “Mm…” I sleepily looked up and saw Conor lean down to kiss me. He paused and then kissed me sweetly and then bit my lower lip. The sensation caught me off guard and I gasped. He kissed me deeply and then moved down my neck to my belly planting kisses along the way. I love those kisses! I watched him sleepily as he gently ran his hands over my skin. He crawled over me and carefully lowered himself on top of me. He laid his head on my left shoulder and held me. Mm! I love being next to him like this! His warmth was making me sleepy all over again. So warm! I could fall asleep…“Kay!” He whispered in my ear. I looked over and he kissed me. “Want to dance with me?” I thought about it for a moment and then nodded. Sounds like it would be relaxing! “Yes! I have the best companion in the galaxy!” He got off the bed quickly and stoked the fire as I stretched in place, shaking out my hair. I sat up and watched as he pulled the chaise next
-Karen-“I trust you with my life!” I replied hugging the pillow tighter. I felt him part my legs a bit wider and I waited with bated breath. I heard him snicker as he touched me gently. Nothing would ever prepare me for what came next. I felt something soft flutter and suck against me in my most private area. I cried out from the immense pleasure I felt and tried to close my legs as it was too much for me. “Oh no, you don’t!” I heard him mutter as he forced them back apart and then ramped up the pace. I felt his fingers enter me as I screamed into the pillow for mercy. “This is your punishment. Good luck!” He continued for what felt like forever. I was teetering on the edge of insanity and I knew he was going to throw me off one way or the other at this point. I knew he could sense that and started sucking relentlessly on me until I slipped over the edge and died when I hit the proverbial ground. I heard him snickering as I laid there panting and feeling weak. He pulled the pillow a
-Karen-This next dance of passion was completely different than every other one. It wasn’t just pleasure on a physical plane. It was almost as if I could touch the inner most parts of him. I held him tightly to me as we moved together in our intimate dance. I could feel the tension building up between us making it difficult to breathe normally. Cheek to cheek and intertwined I whispered, “Conor, I want you! Let me blend in with you.”“I feel like I can’t get close enough to you.” He replied rushing to my lips and not allowing either of us to talk anymore for the moment. The tension was rising, and I felt like I was going to break from the pressure of it all.I ran my hands all over him as he pulled me closer. I was going to die for certain this time. “Don’t fight this!” He whispered holding me tighter than before. “Surrender to me!” He looked like he was in horrible pain, but I know he was almost to the top of the cliff right before we were going to fall to our deaths. “Surrender!” H
-Karen-A sweet smile touched his lips. “I’ll never forget the way I felt when I realized it. She was cuddled up to me after we had worked a back-to-back shift. She had just been granted permission to be my assistant a week before and we had been working a lot because of some things that happened in the capitol. We went back to my apartment because it was closer to the office than her place. I woke up and saw her watching me with those beautiful green eyes and she smiled at me and I- I swear on everything, I thought about how I felt with her. Not only working with her or being intimate but I thought about her and her lively spirit and I knew, more than anything, that I wanted her in my life forever. I felt my soul shiver with excitement and I just wanted to hold her in my arms until time stopped.”“I remember that! You stared at me for a few minutes and then you smiled back and held me so tightly. I loved the way I felt then, but I didn’t think it was going to be a serious relationshi
-Karen-“I’m sure he’s heard that so much from other women though. Anyone trying to suck up to him to get free things… Like money or jewelry.” I explained with a frown. I don’t want to be like other women. I want to be different. I want to stand out from the crowd.“Nope! I’ve known Conor since he was twelve, Karen. He just turned nineteen. That’s why Beatrice was here last month. He’s never mentioned it to me at all and I like to think I know him very well. I’m sure if you tell him how you feel about him, it will make him extremely happy.” Bart advised. “You don’t have to tell him right away. Think it through. You can’t take your words back once you say them.”“He told me he had feelings for me. Do you think he might love me?” I asked nervously. I wonder.“You would have to ask him Kay. How would you feel if he did say he was in love with you?” Bart asked as Joanne smirked. How would I feel about that? I think I would probably faint honestly. But I think I would be really happy… No!
