| With that being said she took off her shirt and kept her camisole on.
Sully saw her start to shiver again and he moved to sit behind her. He started to rub her arms helping her warm up. Michaela leaned against his bare chest and whispered, �Oh Sully, that feels so good.� Sully stopped rubbing her arms and held her tight. �How long do you think the storm is going to last?� Sully looked out the cave and saw that the storm was still going strong with no signs of letting up anytime soon. �Well, from the looks of it we might have to stay the night here.� Sully felt Michaela tense up and he smiled. He turned her face towards him and delicately place kisses on her forehead, her cheeks, and her nose until his lips found hers. The kiss a fervent one, Sully didn�t want to scare Michaela so he grudgingly pulled back. I think we should go to sleep now. Chapter 9 Sully didn�t want to make Michaela any more nervous than what she already was so he laid down next to her leaving some space between them. Michaela drifted off to a profound sleep almost immediately. Sully�s head was racing and it took him longer to sleep. He couldn�t keep his eyes off Michaela. She was so beautiful, and looked even more beautiful while she was sleeping. After a long while of watching Michaela, he finally began to dose off. �Sully?� �What?� �Come inside.� Sully was outside building a shelter in the woods to protect them from the rain. He was soaked but he didn�t want to be alone with her. �It�ll stop soon.� �Don�t be stubborn.� �Old habit.� Sully couldn�t see whom he was talking to because the rain was blocking his view. He moved closer to the lean to he was building. �Give it up.� He got closer to the lean to and took off his belt. He went inside and saw Michaela lying on the ground covered with a red blanket. He laid down next to her and covered himself with the same blanket she was using. He put his hand on her hip and was surprised when she grabbed his hand and pulled him closer to her. The chill from the night air woke Michaela up. She looked around at her unfamiliar surroundings and was a little confused. She laid still letting her eyes get adjusted and remembered where she was. She turned around and faced Sully. He looked so peaceful. His chest rose up and down in a steady rhythm. Michaela studied his face, and noticed that he was smiling. �Must be having a good dream.� The draft from outside made her shiver and she unconsciously snuggled up to Sully placing her head on his chest. It took only a short while for her to warm up and fall back into a peaceful sleep. Sully woke up in the middle of the night and saw the fire had died out, but he was still warm. He tried to sit up and felt he was being weighed down. It wasn�t until he looked down that he saw Michaela snuggled next to him. He looked at her and was amazed at how right it felt to have her in his arms. He felt a breeze come through the cave opening and felt her shiver. He wanted her to rest some more and quite frankly he didn�t want this moment to end. He wanted to hold her in his arms as long as he could. So he wrapped his arms around her pulling her in tighter against him. The sound of her steady breaths and the warmness of her body next to him made him relax and he dosed off again. Morning came and Michaela and Sully were snuggled together keeping each other warm. The storm had passed and the sun was shinning bright. The only sounds that could be heard were the birds singing and the wind blowing through the trees. Michaela woke up, and blinked her eyes a couple of times so that they could focus to her surroundings. The first thing she noticed was that the fire had died out throughout the night but she was still very warm. The second thing she noticed was that she was in Sully�s arms. CONTINUE |
