Chapter 2 "Come on Shal just...... think of something else," she said to herself as her mind drifted back to the thought of her kissing Emma. "Shit,......ok you can't think of her like that - she's straight. What am I thinking I'm straight too, ok bisexual," she said to herself.

"Shal," a man's voice said her name.

"Oh, Adam you startled me."

"I knocked, but you didn't answer."

"Yah, I was thinking of some....on.....thing."

"I left a few instructions in the den, I need you and Emma to do them."

"Ok, no problem."

"We have to leave now. I'll see you two next week. Be good."

"I will and you boys come back home safe, ok."

"Bye."

"Bye Adam."

Two minutes later she saw the Double Helix fly away. She was suddenly aware of another presence, but relaxed when she realized it was Emma.

"Wish you were in there? ," she said looking at Emma.

"No, maybe if they were going to some exotic place, but Africa is just not for me."

"What's wrong with Africa?"

"Dangerous animals!"

"You know I'm part wild animal, right?"

"Yah, but you won't hunt and eat me," Emma said as she headed to the den.

"Are you sure about that?" Shalimar said as she moved swiftly to block the door.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"Well I'm part animal and I feel like a little hunting."

"C'mon, just let me pass, please."

"No," Shalimar replied pushing Emma hard enough to make her trip and fall.

"Ok, that's it!" Emma said as she got up and grabbed Shalimar. Using a move she learned, she threw the blond woman over her shoulder.

Shalimar jumped up as she and Emma started to battle each other. The battle grew more violent with every minute that past. Emma kicked Shalimar to the ground. She quickly took off her jacket that was restraining her fighting abilities. With that the two women threw all rules out the window, using every means possible to defeat each other, as a sweat broke out on their skins. With a darting fist to the stomach Shalimar disabled Emma long enough to perform a restraining move.

Pushing Emma to the ground. Straddling her and forcing her back against the floor. Their eyes locked, unable to look away as their faces moved closer. Their faces now inches apart. Shalimar wanted Emma, and she wanted her now. Shalimar moved in to kiss Emma, but Emma closed her eyes and turn away.

Shalimar had a shocked expression on her face as she got off Emma and ran out of the room. Leaving Emma alone.
