Kristina could not believe this was happening, the feel of Ethan's hands touching her, she wanted to lose herself in this moment. Ethan could not believe it either, was this the same girl that only a year ago he tried to convince himself he did not have feelings for? This girl, this beautiful, amazing, breathtaking girl, but she was not a girl, she was a woman, a full grown woman, how could he have wasted all that time trying to talk himself out of it and turning her attention away. He ravaged her, making up for all of that lost time, examining every part of her body with firey lust. When he unbuttoned her top he looked at her with such hunger that Kristina lost all thought. It was in that moment she gave herself up to him totally. Later on that night Ethan and Kristina laid in bed snuggled beside each other "I love you Kristina" Ethan told her. Kristina took a second to just let those words sink in, those words that she had wanted to hear for so long, she was really here, this was really her life with Ethan in it, it was not a dream. "I love you too Ethan, more than you ever could know" she replied back as she looked up at him and kissed him. "you were so awesome today, my little firecracker" he told her with a sly smile. "at which time" she teased to which he started tickling her till she screamed. "ok, so tell me the truth, did Jason really teach you how to use a gun?" he said laughing. "of course he didn't. He took Michael out and Michael showed me a few things, but I doubt I could have actually shot her" she said back with a smirk "but Granny didn't know that did she". Ethan just started laughing hysterically. "Ok, so I am starving Ethan, think Dim has anything to eat out there?" Kristina asked thru her laughter. "let's go see, I never did hear him come home" Ethan replied. "Maybe he went out and found somebody lucky to love like we did" she said back, putting her arms around his stomach and looking up at him "he will never be this lucky" he replied back, and with that he picked her up over his shoulder and carried her out into the kitchen while she playfully screamed for him to put her down. "now let's see what he has here to eat" he exclaimed as he looked thru the cabinets. "Ethan, let's not go back to Port Charles for awhile, let's go and see the world" she said. It startled Ethan to hear her ask such a thing. "you don't want to go home Krissy?" "You know your parents are going to be worried about you". "They will be fine" she said back. "I want to see all the places you have seen. I want to see the world with you". Ethan couldn't believe what she was asking, a part of him knew that she should go home and try to go back to college but an even bigger part wanted her all to himself for a while and wanted to show her all the amazing places in the world and that part won. He dropped the pot he had in his hand and went over to her, per his hands on her face so he could look her right in her eyes. "Ok, I would love to show you the world, but you have to understand it will not be all sunshine and roses, you know I will need to run cons to get us money to survive and take odd jobs, will you be ok with not living in the lifestyle you are used too" Kristina giggled and put her hands on his face as well "Ethan, where ever you are is where I want to be, I do not care if we are dirt poor as long as I have you" and she kissed him. "Ok, just one stipulation, you have to call your mom, you have to let her know you are ok" he insisted. Kristina really did not want to call home, but she knew that Ethan would not let her go till she did. "ok Ethan, I will call" and with that Ethan went over and got the phone and handed it to her. This was not going to be a fun call she thought as she started to dial the number…..
