Bittersweet Love Part 9 (rated pg-13) As Catherine and Vincent proceeded to the falls in silence, he stopped a moment to pull her in his arms. "Catherine your forgiving father as you did warmed my heart." "You have a forgivingness about you that is truly remarkable." "You are so beautiful, kind, gentle," "You are sweetness in the purest sense of the word." "Your passionate nature astounds me" "You are perfection to me Catherine." "Sometimes I wonder what I have done to deserve such a treasure as you." "Vincent the woman you see in me is because of you." "All of these thing were buried deep inside me somewhere. "It was your gentleness, your kindness, strength and courage. '' "Most of all it was your love for me that brought them to the surface." "I love you for it." "I love you with all my heart." "Sometimes I too wonder what I have done to deserve you." Taking his lips in a passionate kiss their trip to the falls was slightly delayed as desire consumed them. "Vincent, said Catherine breathless, I cannot believe what we just did." "Making love right here in the middle of the tunnels". Anyone could have seen us." "Want to do it again?" Tilting his head to the side, he smiled, and loved his Catherine once more "Catherine, this time he was breathless as well, "I cannot get enough of you." "If we do not leave here soon� Her words interrupted his. "Vincent I would not mind that in the least." "You know it as well as I do." "You can feel my desire for you igniting again." "Yes, Catherine I can, and they made love once more." After washing up, they joined everyone for breakfast. It was a pleasant time for them being with his family. Lisa sat alone at a dimly lit section of the hall fuming. "Catherine should be gone not here being entertained by my family." "Not on Vincent's arm." "Father said he would talk to Vincent." "May be he hasn't had a chance too." "I'll wait and see what happens." With breakfast finished Vincent asked Catherine if she wanted to go for a walk to the crystal caverns. She has never been there. She was excited about his suggestion. "Vincent I would love too." "Thank you asking." "Then let us go my love taking her hand." Lisa called Vincent before they left." "Yes Lisa?" "Do you think I can join you and Catherine at the caverns?" "I have not been there in years." Vincent looked at Catherine, she nodded her head yes. "All right Lisa you may join us." So the three of them started their journey. Vincent was a pleasure to walk with. He informed Catherine on everything around them. Lisa walked behind them listening as well. Upon their arrival Catherine was overcome by the beauty of it. "Oh Vincent, this is beautiful. He felt her happiness. It made him happy as well. She released his hand and slowly walked around. Touching the walls watching them glimmer and sparkle. There was a small stream on one side. The crystals reflecting off the water was breathtaking. Lisa saw an opportunity and went for it. Taking Vincent's hand, Catherine is really enjoying herself. Why don't we go in there, pointing to another entrance in a cavern, I want to see if anything has changed since I was there so many years ago." "Catherine do you mind if Lisa and I go into another cavern?' The beauty around her mesmerized her. She could not take her eyes off of it. She waved her hand softly saying it was ok for them to go. Vincent and Lisa went deep into the cavern. "Vincent do you remember when we use to come here to be alone?" "How many times did our bodies reach out to each other here." "We felt it but were too na�ve to know desire." "Can you still feel it Vincent?" "I can." She took his hand and laid it upon her breast. He felt her nipple hardened against the palm of his hand. "My god Lisa, snatching his hand away, give it up." "I do not desire you." "I am going back to Catherine and he left." She caught up to him at the exit, "Vincent wait." "I am sorry hugging him, placing her body tight against his, "please forgive me?" He removed her arms from around his neck, "Lisa for the last time, I am not interested." He went to Catherine and gave her a kiss on the lips, "I love you beautiful." She returned his kiss, "I love you too handsome." Vincent decided he would tell Catherine later what Lisa had tried to do. Right now, she was enjoying herself immensely. He could not spoil that for her. They spent the rest of the time being together. Lisa's presence was totally forgotten. Lisa took the hint and left. "This is ridiculous." 'I have tried everything to get Vincent's attention." "It seems useless." "Catherine has him wrapped around her little finger. He won't even show the slightest bit of interest in me." "His restraint is too great with Catherine around." "I will try one last thing seduction." "As soon as Catherine returns above, I'll be ready." Lisa was returning to her chamber when he ran into father. "There you are Lisa." "I have been looking for you." "We must talk." "All right father we can go to my chamber." "It is closer." She asked father to take a seat when they reached her chamber. "Thank you Lisa." "My leg has been bothering me a little today." Sitting down, "I will get straight to the point of our discussion." "Lisa Vincent and I talked this morning." "We came to an understanding." "He does notice everything around him when he is with Catherine." "He saw you in the tunnels." "He knew you had come to his chamber when he and Catherine were otherwise engaged." " He heard you call his name on both occasions." "Lisa he told me you have been trying to break him and Catherine up." "You even used me to help you." Lisa Vincent is the happiest he has ever been in his life because of Catherine." "He loves her with all his heart." "He needs her in his life Lisa." "She has given him the dream he has always hoped for." "Don't you see you cannot be that dream." "Only Catherine can." "I will not under any circumstances shatter that dream." "I will not separate them especially now." "Why not now father?" "What is the reason?" "If Vincent wants you to know I am sure he will tell you." "I will be going now.' "Lisa if you wish to remain here with us, I suggest you leave Catherine and Vincent alone." With that statement father left her chamber. Realizing father was not going to help her; Lisa knew she was on her own. She avoided Catherine and Vincent the rest of the weekend like the plague. Buying her time. With Catherine gone, the moment will come when he will let down his guard. "I'll be ready." She felt she had a flawless plan. Lisa will be finding out very soon, it is impossible to fight the extraordinary love Catherine and Vincent share. Part 10 Shirley's Fanfic Index |
