Thanks for all the reviews!!! You guys rule!!!
Dan sat out in the garden alone, watching the sun as it set. Darkening hues lit up the fading light of the sky.
Wearing a soft blue robe provided by the hospital, it softened his rough steely external appearance, making him appear approachable.
The last twenty-four hours ran through his mind. Karen, Deb, the past and the future. Where would he be?
A creak of the door sliding as it opened, alerted him to another's presence. Thinking it was probably another patient, he kept his head bowed as he thought of all that happened and prayed that something good would come out of it.
"Dan." Her soft husky voice pulled him out of his reverie.
He looked up. Her eyes were shining with emotion as she looked at him.
"Karen?" he was silenced by a lone tear that tore its way down her delicate cheek to crystallize on her lip.
The sun caught the reflection and pierced his eyes for a minute. She moved over to him and the connection was broken.
"We need to talk." She sat next to him. "I don't know if I'm ready for another emotional battering like last time."
She placed her trembling hands nervously in her lap, Dan covered them with his own hands.
Opening his mouth to tell her something. Raindrops splattered on both of them, shattering the tension they both felt.
Dan stood up, trying to shield Karen from the rain, he lumbered over her like a tree, spreading its branches to shelter the ground.
Karen grabbed his hand, they moved quickly towards the door. As they stood under the roof, Karen turned to look at Dan, laughing at the sheer delight of the unexpected storm.
Dan chuckled softly in response and steered her back against the wall. Both hands moved to encircle her, so she was trapped.
Karen's laugh caught nervously in her throat as she looked up at Dan. Her eyes darkened in arousal. Her lips parted, her tongue delicately tracing her mouth.
Dan's eyes watched her tongue as it moved. His hands clenched as he fought for control. Losing the battle, he lowered his head.
Karen tilted her head and angled upwards, meeting him halfway. Wet, warm and chillingly sexual.
Her lips traced his, her hands linked behind his head, angling her head for better access.
Dan lost in the moment, moved his hands down to her lower back, moving her closer, until they were locked together from neck to knee.
Lips meshed, tongues met and dueled for control. Sparks caught fire and blazed into a raging inferno of passion.
They kissed heedless of the rain pouring around them, heightening their magical experience.
Short I know, updates soon!! Hope you liked this chapter.
