�I�m coming,� she shouted, her voice straining to meet the sound of the whistling tree branches.
�You know Lauren, I really don�t feel like analyzing one of your late night stands right�� Morgan�s voice trailed off as she finally looked up from tying her robe.
�Hi.� Apolo stood before the threshold, shadows lurking around his mouth, revealing the smallest hint of a smile.
Morgan�s stare met that soulful one of his as she felt herself drown into those bright, brown pools. �Hey,� she answered, slowly biting down on her lower lip. �What took you so long?�
�I don�t know, but somehow, it doesn�t seem to matter now.�
Apolo entered, his confident gait swift like the wind rattling in the streets. Morgan shuffled away from the door, retreating into the dark hallway until he finally had her cornered against the countertop. Morgan innocently stared up at him, his eyes emitting a flash of lust that seemed to parallel the overwhelming feelings surging up and through her every vein. Apolo leaned in closer and breathed in the softness of Morgan�s shampoo, taking his time to memorize it�s essence, it�s raw sweetness mingled with wild raspberries. She could almost taste the salty moisture of his golden skin on her tongue as his arms entrapped her under the weight of his heaving body.
�No strings attached,� she murmured as Apolo brushed his full lips against hers, his warmth gliding over her own, giving him permission to take control .
�None,� he whispered in reply, holding her gaze as she returned his kiss ever so lightly on his waiting mouth. �Our secret.�
Morgan slowly nodded, ducking beneath Apolo�s right arm and releasing herself from his cage. She smiled as she barely missed the gentle touch of his lips once again. Apolo stared at Morgan, the moonlight from the window shining down and enhancing her features like nothing his human eyes had ever witnessed before. She grabbed him by both of his rugged hands, and grinned once again, a few tendrils of hair falling over her misty eyes. Morgan inched backwards, guiding Apolo with every step as her feet glided over the cool tile until finally reaching the bedroom. The door uttered a creak as it closed behind the two of them.
