A little lost? Nah! (JONATHAN)

[kiera]

Jonathan grinned, he couldn't resist being at least a little proud of himself. "Honestly, what was I thinking putting you in charge. Just don't fall. I would feel bad and we would both get muddy. That doesn't sound all that great to me." Jonathan laughed, his voice deep. He wondered if Dylan could feel the rumble in his chest. He was holding her pretty tight. He had a good excuse though, he had promised never to drop her. He would keep that promise. His fierce protectiveness, mixed with determination, rose inside him again. He wasn't sure where it had come from, but it definately belonged here. He looked down and grinned at her. He had no need to watch his steps. The jaguar inside of him was sure footed, agile and graceful. He was more likely to sprout wings and fly than fall in the woods. It was his domain."I would bet anything you were thinking - more of realizing - that you could trust me." He paused and looked down at her, his eyes slightly serious. His voice was lower. "You can trust me, you know."

He was quiet for a few moments. He relished the feeling of her head sotly resting against his muscular shoulder. Her dark hair was slightly dissheveled from her fall, but still utterly beautiful in his eyes. Her soft smiles, so much more frequent than he had ever seen them, made her face innocent and pure. As cliche as it sounded, he felt like he was carrying a fallen angel in his arms. He could almost swear she was glowing slightly. "What were you doing out here alone?" His muscles tightened around her in response and he hoped she didnt feel how much he stiffened at her question. He had let down his confident defenses, or maybe just expanded them to include her. Whatever it was, he hadn't been prepared for this. How was he supposed to answer. He imagined his response. I came out here to hike down to the lake and strip out of my clothing. Then I'm going to change into a giant black leopard and roam the woods. Funny story...that's actually exactly how I found you! No. That would not go over well. He frowned slightly, almost but not quite forgetting Dylan in his arms.

"I might have to say I was out here doing the exact same thing as you." He grinned ruefully at her, hoping to disguise his sensitivity at her comment. "I just happen to be better at it, or at least more graceful." His thumb was absently stroking her hip where his hand held her aloft in the air. He smiled down at her. "And what were you doing out here Dylan? I refuse to believe you would go through all of this trouble just so I could make you my beautiful damsel." He would have kissed her again, but he was biding his time. He had a plan. They had almost reached the top, when he would be forced to set her down. His excuse would be over. That didn't mean he wouldnt be able to pull her close once more, maybe more than a slight brush of a kiss this time. Didnt the beautiful maiden usually allow a little more than a chaste kiss? He was hoping so. He wanted to hold her tight, make her understand that from this moment on - should she accept - he was hers.

xx. She took in his gaze with her own bright brown eyes. She felt safe with him and was more than happy to admit it, even though when they had first met, it seemed like the chances of them being together would take forever to form but really it had only been a matter of about an hour. And now she was more than happy being here. Her arms stayed looped around his neck as she watched where they walked. Dylan's fingers played with the collar of his shirt absently before she shifted and looked up at him with those soft, glittery eyes.

xx. Dylan smiled at his question before shrugging a little, watching the forest around her. to get away from everyone. i am sick of going to parties every night and if i would have stayed home they would have had me doing stupid chores all day. So i guess that is why i am here... i am glad i did come out here, even though i fell in the mud.

[/color] she blinked her eyes a few times and by the time they reached the top, she wanted nothing more than to hold on a little tighter in fears that he would let her go. her bright eyes were focused on his face as she blushed a little and looked down.

xx. she wanted nothing more than to spend time with him and be in that state of unconditional love that she often missed from her first real relationship which turned out wrong. Her eyes turned back to the woods and she flinched absent-mindedly, she remembered the way it felt. the pain that had come with it and the pain that was more like a knife being raked down her back. she turned her head away from him as she remembered the day she found out her ex boyfriend's secret and the reason why she hated him as well as all other animal shifters.[/blockquote][/justify][/size]

Jonathan slowed as they neared the top. He was dreading the moment when the ground was flat once more. Then his excuses died and he would be forced to set her down once more. That didn't mean that he would let her go though, he wasn't sure if he could. He sighed as they reached flat ground. Reluctantly, he lowered her so her feet touched the dry earth again. His arms wrapped around her waist wordlessly. He said nothing, simply wrapping his arms tighter and tighter around his waist until she was pressed firmly against him. He buried his face in her hair, breathing in her scent. He had still said nothing, but felt he didn't need to. His hands spread out, his palms pressed against her back. He rubbed up and down, feeling every curve of her body fitted perfectly against him. He withdrew his face from her hair, looking down into her beautiful eyes. He used a finger to brush a strand of hair away from her face. He returned his hands to where they held her against him.

"I've been debating what course of action to take now and whether you'll kill me." His hands stopped rubbing her back as he looked into her eyes. It was true, he had been thinking about it the entire walk up the incline. He didnt want to risk her pushing him away, but couldn't risk her not knowing how he felt. He had made a decision. "I'm just praying you won't." He made his move before she could speak. His face was so close to hers, the action wasn't difficult. He just needed to be brave. His grip tightened as he suddenly crushed her to him and kissed her. This was different than the little kiss before. This was not shy, nor chaste. It was passionate, yet gentle. It was long and he wouldn't let her go. He felt her warmth against him and wished he could melt into her. When he finally withdrew, he was breathing harder and his eyes were an unreadble mix of emotions. He searched her, wondering if he had angered her. His voice, when he spoke, was low breathless and slightly husky.

"I want to be the only guy to take you to dinner and the only one to carry you in my arms." His words were simple and honest. He wanted to be hers.

xx. when he lowered her to the ground her arms instinctively lowered but as his arms pulled her closer a smile touched her face and a look of hope entered her eyes. They twinkled and sparkled as she slowly wrapped her arms around his neck back to where they were before. but after he started speaking she looked up and listened intently. but what came next she didn't think she could have prepared for even if she tried. her eyelids fell closed and she kissed him back, almost as though the whole world could stop and allow them time to spend in this moment. but when he pulled away her eyes flickered open and watched him still. her hand gently played with his hair and she smiled softly.

xx. she looked into his eyes, watching the sea of emotions in his gaze that were matching hers. she was quietly playing with his hair yet when he spoke again and she paused, turning her eyes back to his face. to be honest, you are the first one to. dinner is something everyone does, but this... i thought it was sweet. incredibly sweet. her eyes lowered to look at the ground. she all ready knew that he was hers and she was ready to be his as well. the idea sounded wonderful to be with. and i want to be the only one you do this with. the one you hold this close and rescue from mud puddles.

[/color] she said with a small smile on her face.

i'd like nothing more than to be with you.[/color][/blockquote][/justify][/size]
