Chapter 10
They spent the next hour horsing around in the water. They splashed, played and dunked each other while sharing kisses in between. Eventually they untangled themselves, dressed and hiked back to the cabin. Tired and sweaty, they walked into the cabin around dinner time starved again.
"All this fresh air and exercise is making me hungry. What do you want for dinner?" Liz opened the refrigerator and began choosing a few things for dinner.
"Whatever. Why don't you start a salad while I take a shower. When I get out, I'll make dinner." With a quick kiss, he left for the bathroom running through his next plan in his head. After a shower, he would set up a hot bubble bath with candles for Liz. While she was soaking, he would finish dinner - a candle light dinner for two and set up a few candles around the bedroom for later. Tonight would be perfect.
Liz finished up the salad and was setting the table by the time Michael emerged. His blonde hair was still damp. He had shaved and donned a dress shirt and khakis. She unconsciously licked her lips. He looked irresistible and instead of the nervousness she expected, she was filled with anticipation.
Michael gave her a sly grin as he recognized the hunger in her eyes. Fortunately, it wasn't for food. He embraced her and noticed all the work she had done so far. "Wow, you already set the table. I have a bath all ready for you. Why don't you relax a bit in the tub and I'll call you when the rest of dinner is ready." With another kiss, he sent her off to the bathroom.
Liz grabbed her robe and entered the bathroom. It took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the darkness that surrounded her and for her senses to adjust to the bombardment of steam and scents. First thing she noticed was the steam rising off the filled tub surrounded by scented vanilla candles. There was soft music in the background adding ambiance to the room. She slipped out of her clothes and sunk into the heavenly water. Closing her eyes, she felt herself drifting off into a blissful oblivion.
Michael watched Liz close the door before he began to prepare dinner. Pulling a few things out of the fridge, he began preparing a steak and vegetables. He knew Liz would be at least a half hour enjoying the bath. Once dinner was cooking, he placed candles around the room and two on the table. He closed the blinds slightly to shut out the sun.
When everything was finished, he lit all the candles and grabbed a towel from the closet. He knocked on the door before peaking inside. She looked like an angel with her eyes closed. Her hair was soaked and her body was hidden with in the bubbles. "Hey there," he spoke softly. "Dinner is ready. Are you finished in here?"
"Um hum. Give me a minute and I'll be right out." Her muscles felt like jello as she climbed out of the tub and started getting dressed. Under her clothes she wore the new negligee she had bought on her outing with Maria and Isabel. Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, she applied a small amount of make-up. Then running the brush through her hair one last time, she took a deep breath and headed for the kitchen. As she entered the dinning room, the scene before her stole her breath.
Michael waited, leaning against the counter as Liz surveyed the room. Candles lit up all the surfaces around the dining room. Soft music played in the back ground and two single candles framed a vase filled with wildflowers from the earlier adventures decorated the table. Seeing her eyes finally rest on him, Michael walked over and grabbed her hand. He definitely like her outfit which consisted of a short black leather skirt and a silky white tank top with cute sandals. "You look great. Take a seat."
Hungry from their day, they immediately dug in. After a little while they began talking about a few things, mostly Jeffrey.
"That was wonderful Michael. Thank you."
"You ready for dessert?"
Seeing the look in Michael's eyes, she could no longer hold back. She grabbed his hand. "Actually, I couldn't eat another thing." Her nervousness reappeared as Michael stood there and stared at her.
"I love you. You know that right?"
"I know. I love you too!" As soon as the words were out of her mouth, he crossed over and gathered her in his arms before kissing her passionately.
Sensing his hesitancy and how difficult it was for him to restrain himself, Liz tried to reassure him. "This is what I want. I want you Michael. I love you." Placing her hands on his face, she forced him to stop and look into her eyes. "Make love to me Michael."
It was all the reassurance Michael needed as the last of his restraint broke. With a wave of his hand, all the candles blew out. He scooped Liz up into his arms and carried her into the bedroom for a night they would never forget.
A few hours later, Liz snuggled further into Michael's embrace. A chill ran down her spine and she pulled the covers up further. Finally she fell asleep listening to Michael's heartbeat.
Something was wrong. There was fear, so much fear. She ran as fast as she could to catch up with the person in front of her. As she reached her arm out to turn the person around she screamed.
"Jeffrey!"
