Mark laughed as he caught the Frisbee. Champ jumped up trying to grab it from Mark. Mark laughed and let him have it. Kayla laughed. She was having a great time.

"Come on let's eat, I'm starving." Mark said.

"Okay." Kayla said flopping down on the blanket and pulling the food out.

She fixed Mark a plate and handed it to him. She opened the thermos of iced tea and handed Mark a cup.

"Thanks Kayla." Mark said.

Kayla smiled and fixed hers and settled down to eat.

"This is great Darlin." Mark said fixing himself a second plate.

"Thanks." Kayla said.

"What's for dessert?" Mark asked.

Kayla grinned.

"Your not even finished dinner yet." Kayla said laughing.

"Come on Kayla, I know ya fixed dessert, what it is?" Mark asked.

"Chocolate strawberry cake with Dark chocolate icing." Kayla said.

"Oh God, your going to make me fat girl." Mark said laughing.

Mark scarfed down his food and Kayla smiled and pulled out half the cake and cut him a big piece. Champ came sniffing around.

"Huh uhh boy, chocolate is not good for you." Kayla said.

She pulled out dog treats and fed him while Mark was eating the cake.

"Girl I should have hired ya as a cook." Mark said.

Kayla grinned.

"Can I have a strawberry?" Kayla asked.

Mark ran a strawberry threw the rich chocolate icing and held it up to her mouth. Kayla opened her moth and Mark slipped it between her lips. Mark gasped as her sweet little mouth closed around his fingers. Kayla seemed oblivious to his arousal. She opened her mouth after she had cleaned his fingers of the chocolate.

"You had chocolate on your fingers." Kayla said smiling.

God she was innocent, Mark thought. They sat together and finished the cake. Mark fed her strawberries and thoroughly enjoyed himself. Kayla cleared the food away and watched as Mark laid back and closed his eyes. They were under the shade of a tree so the sun wasn't beating down on them. Champ ambled off to do his own thing. Kayla decided to lie back to and relax a little. She closed her eyes. Kayla felt something tickle her face. She opened her eyes and seen Mark over her with a flower tickling her nose.

"Hey you stop that." Kayla said laughing.

Mark propped himself on one elbow and grinned down at her.

"Sorry I couldn't resist." Mark said.

Kayla grinned up at him. He was so handsome. She wished he didn't have a girlfriend. Right now with Mark looking down at her she longed for him to kiss her. Mark watched her watching him. He must be mistaken, he could swear he seen desire in her eyes. But no that couldn't be.

"Ready to go for a swim?" Mark asked.

"Yea, sure." Kayla said shaking off her thoughts.

Mark watched as Kayla stripped her clothes off. She had on a light green one piece swimsuit. There was nothing provocative about the swimsuit, but in his eyes it was the sexiest thing he had ever seen.

Kayla watched as Mark took off his shirt. Damn this man was in great shape. His chest and arms were gorgeous. "Okay stop Kayla." Kayla said to her self.

Kayla went and jumped in the creek. The water was wonderful it was cool and refreshing. She felt a splash nearby and Mark's head popped up. They grinned at each other and started splashing each other. They spent the next hour swimming and dunking each other. Champ jumped in and joined them shaking water all over them. Finally Mark grabbed Kayla and set her on the bank. He jumped up to set beside her.

"Kayla thanks for inviting me, I had a really good time today." Mark said.

Mark couldn't remember the last time he had so much fun. He really enjoyed spending time with Kayla.

"I'm glad you came Mark, you're really a lot of fun." Kayla said smiling up at him.

Mark leaned over and kissed Kayla's cheek. He couldn't help himself. He had a surge of affection for this girl.

Kayla smiled.

"I guess we better head back you promised me a ride." Kayla said jumping up.

"Okay, go get dressed and I'll meet ya at the garage in 15 minutes." Mark said.

"I'll take the stuff up to the house." Mark said grabbing the picnic basket.

Kayla smiled and waved and took off running toward the stables. Mark watched her.

God she was so full of life and so sweet. These feeling were really starting to get to him. He could deal with desire he could understand that. But he had these feelings of tenderness for her as well. It was all mixed together and it confused him. Mark shook his head and headed for the house.
