Blake pulled the van in to the driveway and walked around to help Tori out. "You know you look really good in navy," he commented as they walked up to the door. Tori smiled and opened it. Once inside they walked back to Tori's room. Blake took his coat off and hung it over a chair. Tori walked to the mirror and began to take her earrings out.

Blake just stared at her. She truly was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Tori caught the look he was giving her and she turned around seductively.

Blake grinned and couldn't help but notice how one of her sleeves had slipped down her arm a little. He smiled at her and turned to his discarded jacket.

"I have something for you," Blake said as he pulled something out of the pocket. Tori sat on her bed and watched as he pulled out a small, black box and handed it to her. Tori opened it and saw the most beautiful sapphire pendant she had ever seen. It was a simple solitary stone set in silver on a matching chain. "Blake...it's beautiful," she said as she picked it up and rested it in her palm. Blake took it and placed the delicate chain around her neck and fastened the clasp. When he was finished he kissed her shoulder. "You're beautiful," he said. Tori blushed and cupped his face. Blake's hand reached up to meet it and felt something missing. He took her hand down and looked at it. "Where's your ring?" he asked. Tori smiled. "I was going to wait and give this to you later, but..." she reached over and opened her side table's drawer and removed a silver box. She handed it to Blake and smiled when he opened it. He found Tori's ring hanging on a silver chain. "Tor- I can't take this," he said as he held it in his hand. Tori placed her hand over his to close his fingers around it. "I want you to have it...to remember me," she said as she kissed him. "I could never forget you, Tor." They leaned in a kissed again. Tori took the chain and placed it over his head and saw the ring rest on his chest. "I love you..." Tori felt tears welling up in her eyes. This was to be there last night together for nearly a year. "I love you Blake..." They met for the most passionate, loved filled kiss they had ever shared. Blake's hands slipped her dress sleeves down until he could kiss her bare shoulders and the top portion of her back. Tori removed his shirt easily and kissed his chest as she felt the rest of her dress fall to the ground.

Blake's pants were next to go, and he picked Tori up in his arms, lowering her down onto the bed. He found her bra clasp and removed the strapless garment, kissing and massaging her breasts, causing moans to escape her mouth. Blake worked his way down her stomach and removed her underwear, and then his own.

He kissed her back up, wanting to remember every curve of her body. The way it felt under his fingertips...the way she sounded when he touched her...the way she touched him...

Tori's mouth was suckling on his pulse point, which only caused him to touch her more...making her feel like she was on fire inside. She reached her head up and kissed his right shoulder, laying her lips to the beginnings of his scar. Her hands roamed his back and chest as she memorized his body...

Blake eased his way on top of her, and then slowly entered. He shuttered as he pushed in and pulled out slowly. Tori too was feeling a new sensation running through her- like nothing she had ever experienced.

They slowly continued their labors long into the night, and repeated them more times than they could remember. (((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))

The following morning, Tori woke up alone and sat up quickly, holding the bed sheet around her. Blake's side of the bed was still tussled and felt warm. "Blake?" she called softly. Her bathroom door opened and Blake was standing in nothing but a blue towel around him, still dripping from his shower. Tori fought every urge in her body to jump on him right then. He looked so incredibly hot and she feared she would never see him like that again. Blake looked over to her and saw tears welling up in her eyes. He went over to her and she flung her arms around him. "Tor," he said as he buried his head in her hair. "I know this is hard...trust me...but we agreed..." "I know we did...but I can't help it," she said as she wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry...go finish getting ready. I'll take a shower when you're through." Blake kissed her deeply. "How about I take a shower with you...I'll wash your back," he offered smiling. "You already took one," she replied slyly. "And your point is?" The next thing she knew, she and Blake were in the shower doing anything BUT washing, and found themselves engaged in yet another session of lovemaking. They had just about worn themselves out last night, but it may have been the fact that THIS truly was their last time together that drove them. After some time, Blake heard his phone ringing and knew it was Hunter. He kissed Tori and she finished showering. When she emerged she saw Blake looking at her photos. She silently dressed and walked over to him, placing her arms around his waist. "Hunter's on his way over with the others so we can all go together," Blake said. "Is this your mom?" he asked. Tori moved out from behind him and looked. "Yeah...that's her," she said as she looked at the tall, blue eyed, blonde haired surfer. "You look a lot like her," Blake commented. Tori smiled and reached over for another picture and handed it to him. "Here- I want you to take this one." Blake looked at the photo and smiled. Tori was standing on the beach with her surfboard stuck behind her in the sand. "Shane took that about a month ago." Blake turned and kissed her. "Thank you." They were leaning in again when the doorbell brought them out of their trance. "We need to go or you'll miss your flight," Tori said. Blake held her hand and they walked out to greet the others. The guys already had packed Tori's van with Blake's things and were all waiting anxiously for Tori, Blake, and Hunter.

Hunter came out and took his place in the back with Shane. Tori climbed into the driver seat as Blake climbed in next to her. They drove silently to the airport. The guys helped Blake with his bags and stood with him at the gate.

"Have fun, dude," Shane said as he hugged Blake. Blake smiled and moved down the line.

"Let it rip!" Dustin said. Blake smiled at the goofball and moved to shake hands with Cam. Cam pulled Blake into a hug.

"Be careful out there Blake. Don't forget about us," he said. Blake smiled and came to Hunter.

Hunter stood with his arms crossed. "So, um, remember to change your jets after your first race...and don't forget to use that four stroke oil and the new stock pipe-"

"Hunter," Blake interrupted. "You've trained me well, bro. I won't forget," he said. Hunter's strong façade faded and a saddened look came to his face. He unfolded his arms and the two brothers embraced.

"Show them what you can do out there," Hunter said.

"I'll make you proud Hunter...I promise." They parted and Blake came to Tori.

She was smiling through her tears as he hugged her close. "Be careful out there thunderboy," she said. Blake's hand held the back of her head and crunched her hair in his hand.

"I will." They parted a little and kissed fully in view of everyone. They parted and Blake took Tori's hand in his. "I love you."

Tori kissed his cheek. "I love you too Blake," she said as she pulled away. Blake turned from her as the final boarding call came over the speakers. Blake gave one last look to his friends- his family- and waved. Tori smiled as the tears fell. "Have Fun!" she yelled after him.

"I will!" he replied back. Tori laughed a little, but as soon as Blake was out of sight, she let out a sob. Cam went over and hugged her, and soon the others joined them. Tori stopped her crying and they all walked over to the window where they saw the plane depart.
