Sorry for the long wait. Time has begun to run away from me. Well here it is: the first kiss! Hope you all enjoy.

Disclaimer: Only thing I own is the plot line and Lorelei and Petey.

Peter lowered his lips to Lorelei's slowly, waiting for her to pull back. When she didn't, he brushed his lips gently against hers several times. Lorelei let out a soft groan at the feel of his full lips on hers. Peter pulled away and looked down at her, embarrassment etched on his handsome face.

"Lore, I'm so…", but his apology was cut off when Lorelei laced her fingers through his soft hair and crashed his lips down to hers. Peter stood still in surprise for a moment before he wrapped his arms around Lorelei's frame and kissed her back just as fervently. They slowly explored each other's mouths before it was too much. Peter roughly gripped Lorelei's hips and pulled her tightly against his frame. Lorelei's breath hitched at the feel of him pressing against her lower stomach. She slid her hands down Peter's back and felt his straining muscles. Peter began nibbling on her lower lip and when she moaned at the feeling he used the opportunity to slide his tongue into the warm craven of her mouth. She tasted like honey. When he felt her tongue tentatively reach out and brush his he lost it. He pushed her back against a tall oak tree while never breaking the kiss. When he had her back against the tree, he pulled his lips from hers and began kissing and biting down her neck. Lorelei had never experienced such feelings before. Her breasts felt heavy and aching, her skin felt too tight, and she felt like she might faint. When he bit a particularly sensitive spot at the juncture of her neck and collar bone, she began mewling. It felt like all the blood and warmth was flowing to her nether regions. She unconsciously began grinding her hips in to Peter's. She wrenched his head from her neck and kissed him as passionately as she was capable.

Peter knew he should probably stop, that this was her first sexual experience, but he couldn't bring himself to stop. He had thought about what it would be like to kiss Lorelei and taste her warm flesh for too long. It was all becoming too much and his erection was almost painful. He grinded in to her, almost desperate for some relief. Lorelei slid her roaming hands underneath Peter's tunic and began stroking his chest. She traced the outline of his abs and lightly ran her fingers down his treasure trail. Wanted to find out if it felt the same for Peter as it did for her, she started to plant soft kisses along his neck. He responded by growling. Feeling a rush of confidence, Lorelei gently began biting at the base of his ear. When she felt his shudder, she pulled his earlobe between her teeth.

"Bloody Hell, Lore. You're a little vixen." Peter choked out. She responded by grinding her hips into his again. Peter began kissing her as he slid his hands underneath her tunic.

"Lorelei!"

The two young adults froze. Someone was in the forest calling for Lorelei. Peter looked down into her grey eyes. They had turn slate grey with lust and he was sure his mirrored the same. He gently released her and pulled his shirt back down.

"Kid, where are you?"

Recognizing the voice of Eli, the two quickly righted themselves as they heard steps coming closer to them.Peter had to have one last kiss before she left. He grabbed her and kissed her hard before stepping away not a second too soon. Eli stepped through the last of the trees with Petey riding on his back.

"Oh! Hello King Peter. It's always a pleasure." Eli said as he bowed to Peter. Peter just gave a curt nod and stuffed his hands into his pockets to try and camouflage his state.

"Hey kid." Eli said with a smile that soon faded as he got a close up of her state. "Hey kid, are you okay? You look shaky and flushed." He held a hand to her forehead.

"I… I'm okay Eli. I just hit my head last night. And then a storm happened so we had to stay at the cabin. We were on our way to you actually."

"Yes, I know the story. This yippy little animal on my back told me, over and over again. He claims you know him."

Realising that they were talking about him, Petey jumped down from Eli's back and ran to Lorelei.

"Hi Lorelei, it's me Petey! I found your friend in the woods and he said he knew you and I said I knew you so we went to find you. But I got tired so I got to ride on his back. It was fun. Can I ride on your back sometime? It would be fun too. Cuz' we're friends and friends have fun together." Petey was so happy to see Lorlei he started jumping up and down. Lorelei shook her head. She didn't know if Petey's conversations were beginning to get more intelligent, or if her IQ was dropping and she could understand it better.

"Well Eli, we should probably go start our archery lessons."

"Are you sure you're up for it kid? You still look kind of peaky."

For some reason, the comment made Lorelei angry. Of course she wasn't okay. She had just had her first kiss with someone she promised herself she wouldn't have feelings for.

"It's his fault really," Lorelei thought. But even as she thought the words, a little voice in her head whispered "But you liked it. You could've stopped him at any time." She shook her head hard to get rid of it. Big mistake. As soon as she did it her head began to swim and she fell. Peter ran over to her side and tried to help her up.

"Geroff, Peter" she hissed as she pulled her arm free and shakily got to her feet. "I'm not some new born chit who's takin' their first steps."

Peter had had it. First she fights with him, and he thinks she loathes him. Then she turns around and snogs him senseless. But as soon as someone else comes along, she's done with him. Well fine, he wasn't going to be her little toy.

"My apologies Lorelei," he sneered. "Tis obvious that you are highly capable of taking care of yourself. I'll just leave you be for as long as you like."

After a quick nod to Eli and Petey, Peter turned and began walking back to the cabin.

"Why do I feel like I missed something?" Eli asked Lorelei, a confused expression on his face.

"Don't worry, it's nothing. Come on, let's go home."

It had been a short fortnight since Lorelei had last seen Peter, but it felt like the longest two weeks of her life. Her head healed up fine, but she still couldn't concentrate on her lessons. She kept thinking about how she just let him walk away. "Well it's one last thing I need to worry about." She mused. The problem was she couldn't. Lucy and Susan had invited her over for dinner tonight. She happily accepted before realising that she would have to see Peter also.

" 'Ey watch it, kid. You nearly took my bloomin' arm off with that one."

"Sorry Eli," Lorelei yelled. They were once again practicing archery. Eli was standing by the target, but Lorelei could hardly concentrate.

"Awright there Lorelei?" Eli asked as they ended their lesson. "You've been sulking around like Billy no mates, and I'm beginning to worry about you. Are you worried about supper with the royal family tonight?"

"It's not that Eli. I'm real chuffed about seeing Susan and Lu. It's just…"

"Is that row that you and Peter had still bothering you? You know how he is. He just likes to tease you."

"I know Eli. I'll be fine."

Later that day, Lorelei stood outside of Cair Paravel, with a pounding heart. Once Eli's older sister Annie had found out that she was going to the castle, she offered/forced Lorelei to a makeover. Her hair was unbound and had been brushed and the glossy curls shined. She had coloured her lips with rouge. Instead of her usual tunic and leggings, she was wearing a gold gown that flowed around her ankles and was lined with wine coloured thread. The built in bodice showed off her slim waist and emphasized her bust line. Her slippers were gold. Eli had nearly choked on his mead when he had seen her.

Lorelei took on last breath, fingered her locket and knocked on the door. It was almost immediately opened by a rather grumpy looking Susan whose face lit up with a smile when she saw who it was.

"Lorelei, you look gorgeous!" Susan exclaimed as she hugged Lorelei tightly.

"Thanks Susan. You're looking rather fit yourself." Susan wore a canary yellow day dress, and had pulled her hair up.

"Why did you look so upset when you answered the door?"

The smile instantly dropped from Susan's pretty face.

"Oh you'll see soon enough," she said darkly.

Susan and Lorelei walked hand in hand to the dinning room, laughing and talking the whole way. As soon as they got to the door, Lorelei was almost tackled by young Lucy.

Laughing, Lorelei returned the hug. Lucy's brown gown was already dirty and her curls were tangled with twigs and leaves.

"Outside, were you Lu?" Lorelei asked laughing.

Blue eyes twinkling merrily, Lucy giggled as Susan tried to pull out her new hair accessories. The girls were so caught up in catching up, the almost didn't hear Peter clearing his throat.

Lorelei looked up and almost choked on her heart. Peter stood up with a smirk. "Hello Lorelei. I hope you're fine today." Lorelei even couldn't respond, especially when she saw the redheaded girl with sickening sweet smile next to him. "And", Peter said, "I do believe you remember Jeanette."

Thanks to all my wonderful reviewers. It's like food to me. You mates are really the best. Ta' again, Wide eyed dreamer
