Nathan smiled softly as he leaned back against the hard bark of the tree. Water moved slowly in the distance. His arm was around a slender brunette, she smiled at him as he fed her a chocolate covered strawberry.

"I love you Nathan." She kissed him softly and sighed as she looked out at the beauty of nature surrounding them.

"I love you too," he murmured into her soft scented hair.

Her hand ventured under his shirt and traced his belt buckle. Nathan felt his erection swell in response.

Batting her eyelashes flirtatiously at him, she leaned down and dipped her tongue in his navel as she pushed his shirt up his chest.

Nathan closed his eyes and savored the feelings that swelled inside of him.

His hand moved to cup her head showing her how he liked to be touched.

Straddling his waist, she nibbled on his ear and then moved down to suck on his throat where his pulse with beating rapidly.

His hand moved up her thigh to her skirt hem which was halfway up her thigh.

Water rippled in the distance, the breeze filtered through the trees, branches creaked in the wind. The sun beamed down on the two young lovers who were moving like two shadows in harmony.

"Nathan." She sighed in response. Tossing her mocha hair behind her ear, she began to unbutton his shirt, revealing his chest in its muscled glory.

Cupping her chin with one hand, he kissed her softly, his lips tracing over hers gently. His other hand sliding up the smooth skin of her thigh to previously unexplored territory.

Nathan moved restlessly in his sleep, his eyebrows grooved in confusion. As his mind refused to believe who he was dreaming about.

In a room down the hall…….

A girl lay asleep, her eyes moving rapidly under the lids, her mouth opened and a sigh came. A soft moan…………… "Nathan."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sunlight blazed into Nathan's eyes blinding him for a second. He opened his eyes and saw her for the first time for real.

"Brooke." His mouth traced the syllables of her name.

His hand traced her soft hair and the structure of her face. "Beautiful," he whispered reverently.

Brooke kissed him on the lips and smiled at him sweetly.

Nathan leaned forward and touched her, a smile curved his lips upwards. He laughed tenderly and happiness soared through him.

Here I'm in a world without pain, rules and demands. I can be myself. I love Brooke, she's my soul mate.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, it's obvious, Nathan and Brooke are having the same dream. As hinted at in previous chapters, that they are brother and sister, that is not true they are not related.

Second, Things will be resolved soon about this skin disease and Lucas and the janitor/kidnapper.

I am going to a land with no computers, hence this short update.

Next update: August 20.
