breathe.
    “ What did you just say?” asked shaking her a little.
    “ Um. I don’t know nothing.” She stammered.
    “ You know what you said.” He stated. getting angry. He knew he heard it. He knew it. “You said you love me.” He accused her. She stared at him for a moment. She pushed out of his arms and walked a few feet away. She was completely calm now and he felt like he would explode. Why did she not speak?
    “ Yes. I said I love you.” She stated
    “ Do you?” William asked. He could tell that she was struggling to stay calm but in the end tears won out.
    “ Yes. I know it’s stupid. I know you don’t want me. I am just a stupid girl. I know you don’t love me.” She said through tears. William could not move. She loves him and she thinks that he does not love her. He knew he had to do something but he was too shocked to push a coherent thought through his brain.

    Lisa stood there while he just stared at her. She had just confessed her undying love to him and he stood there like a statue staring at her. “Just leave.” She said quietly. His face went from expressionless to very angry or determined she could not tell which as he stalked toward her. She was frozen in place. She wanted to move but her body would not respond. He pulled her up against his body, leaned his head down and crushed her her mouth to his. He kissed her passionately and once she got over the shock, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. William reached down and swept her into his arms without even breaking the kiss. He walked her to the bed a laid her down gingerly while continuing to kiss her senselessly.
    “ How could you be so blind?” He asked. “How could you not know that I have wanted you more that I want my next breath?” He asked again between kisses.
    “ I thought you did not find me beautiful enough.” She answered breathlessly.
    “ Silly, sweet, naive girl. How wrong you are.” He answered as he kissed down the column of her throat. He pulled her shirt over her head and pulled her cotton pants down and had them both blessedly naked within seconds. He came down over her propped on one elbow. He looked down at her breasts and made a face as he saw the white scar left behind from her uncle’s bite. She reached to cover it up self-consciously/ He swatted her hand away, leaned down and kissed the scar that lay right above her heart. He brought his lips within inches of hers and looked into her eyes. “I love you. Lisa darlin. No other man will ever touch you again. You will always be safe.” He leaned down and kissed her as he slid into her. Within minutes they were both crying out in climax. William pulled her close to him as he lay down on his side. Lisa was so blessedly spent and happy. He loved her! He said it. She rolled over to face him and looked up into his face so that she could see his eyes.
    “ Did you mean it?”  She asked. He smiled at her and lifted her chin so the he could kiss her gently on the lips.
    “ Absolutely.” He answered. “I love you.” She opened her mouth like she wanted to say something but closed it tight. How was she going to ask? She was humiliated but really wanted to know.
    “ What is it?” He asked still holding her chin. She shook her head and he forced her to look at him when she would have looked away.
    “ Tell me baby. You can tell me anything.” He told her quietly her cheeks flushed beautifully but she cleared her throat and spoke.
    “ Can we do that again?” William looked at her.
    “ What?” He asked her, not sure what she was talking about.
    “ You said that where you come from people only did that with the person that they loved and since you love me back, we can do that again right?” She asked. He was rock hard immediately. He rolled her on her back and surged into her while he kissed her silly. The pleasure was so wonderful. She had never felt anything so magical in all her life. She couldn't wait to do this with him for
