Moira walked out of the courthouse feeling utterly drained. She and Mitch had just spent several hours going over birth records and some available adoption records in the hopes of finding some clue as to her and Mitch's parents but had come up with nothing.
"Okay so that search was unsuccessful but that doesn't mean that it's all over. There are several adoption agencies here. We just go there." Mitch said putting his around her shoulder. She smiled slightly and sighed.
"Yeah but it just would have been really neat to have it show up here. A little good luck situation…finally." Moira said. Mitch laughed.
"I wish the same thing but you know that searching for biological parents is not that easy." Mitch said steering them both down the sidewalk. Moira shrugged still upset by the fruitless searching.
"Come one. Let's take a break for the rest of the night. Enjoy a little of what this fine country has to offer." Mitch said. Moira looked over at Mitch and had to start laughing at the way he was wagging his eyebrows and grinning mischievously.
Moira finished helping Sun hang out some of the laundry and then decided to wander around. She had no plans on going far but she was feeling restless. Sawyer was all she could think about and she needed to think about all that had transpired between the both of them.
She definitely knew she was attracted to Sawyer. There was no denying that. But did she truly want to start…something with Sawyer. What that something was she wasn't sure. She was excited, confused and apprehensive to name a few.
She wandered through the trees and eventually came a small waterfall that feel into a deep pool area. She had visited this area before when she was getting the 'tour' of the area from Hurley. She had fallen in love with the peaceful little area and now she was more than tempted to get into the water.
She looked around the area and then feeling bold she pulled off the mid calf cut-off shorts she wore. She hated that she was suddenly so self conscious of body but she still couldn't get past all the scars. It had been difficult for her to wear just the bathing suit top and then to pull her hair back but Sun had insisted that she looked gorgeous and that she shouldn't be nervous about it. She had gotten past it then but now in just the skimpy bathing suit it was a different story with all her scars showing.
The water was heavenly and Moira laughed in appreciation. She waded around the water and then dunked her head under the water enjoying the feeling of the cooler water over her sun warmed skin. She lowered her body in the water sitting on a large rock to the side of the pool and ran her arms across the water's surface. Peaceful. It was the best way to describe the moment.
"Now that's a sight I like to see." Moira gasped and nearly fell off the rock she was sitting on. She turned quickly and glanced at Sawyer standing there above her. She hadn't even heard him approach.
"What? I didn't hear you come here." Moira said. Her nervousness came back to her tenfold and she was uncomfortable with the prospect of seeing her in this condition.
"I know. You were having too much fun enjoying yourself. Mind if I join you?" He asked. He smiled down at her and Moira had to mentally stop herself from thinking he looked much like a cat that had just caught a mouse.
"Uh…I guess so." Moira said. She turned her back to him and pretended nonchalance at the situation even though her stomach was flipping rapidly.
"I don't have a bathing suit though. Hope you don't mind." Sawyer said chuckling softly. Before Moira could get her brain to process that information and come up with some sort of response Sawyer was getting into the pool. She sighed with relief when she realized her was wearing a pair of black boxer briefs.
Moira looked around the area and decided she didn't want to go to the popular night club but wanted a smaller hole in the wall bar. She preferred those kinds of establishments over the crowded, noisy places the younger kids frequented. She liked to enjoy her drinking and not have to worry about someone stepping on her toes or bumping into her from behind causing her to spill it.
When she had finally a place she wasted no time in getting a drink and work on forgetting the dead end she and Mitch had come across at the courthouse. She had been working on her second drink when she noticed him. Tall, rugged and very good looking, he was certainly easy on the eyes. She covertly checked him out and when she had had her eye full she chalked him up to being the worst kind of man for her – a womanizer and then went back to planning her next course of action on the parent search.
"So Miss. You're not from around her are you?" asked a heavily accented voice. Moira looked to her side at man who had moved to sit closer to her at the bar. She smiled and shook her head.
"No, I'm from America." She said simply hoping that that would be the end of the conversation. Silly her for thinking that.
"So you want to find out what the phrase 'down under' really means?" Moira nearly choked on the gulp she had taken of her drink. Had he really just said what she thought he had? Had he meant…? It was like a bad B movie.
Moira watched as Sawyer waded over to be in front of her. He was still towering over her even though half his body was submerged in the water. She realized she had been holding her breath and when she inhaled she was embarrassed to realize that it was shaky. She bit her lip when he smirked.
"I'm not making you nervous am I?" He asked softly. He lifted an arm and rested his hand on her shoulder before letting it slide down her arm. She couldn't find her voice and could only shake her head. He chuckled slightly. Damn him!
"Let's hope that no one interrupts us now…" He whispered before his head lowered and he captured her lips in a searing kiss that left her light headed. Everything became a blur after that. Hands and arms moved over bodies and whispered words of what one wanted where shared. Before Moira knew what was happening her bathing suit top was off and floating on the pool's surface several feet away and Sawyer's hand had found its way between her thighs.
"God James!" She murmured. He was licking at her throat and paused to lift his head and look at her. He kissed her lips before lowering his head to capture a bared breast. Moira's hands slipped from his shoulders to the waist of his boxer briefs and when he whispered for her to take them off she pushed the wet fabric slowly from his hips.
Her bikini bottoms soon followed and Sawyer had gripped her hips urging her to circle her legs around his hips. There was a pause almost as if they were wordlessly asking the other if they wanted to continue before he positioned himself at her entrance, captured her lips and surged into her.
Moira cried at sensation of being filled completely. Sawyer uttered a curse and held still leaning his forehead against hers.
"Damn sugar you feel so good." He sighed. Moira nodded her head and then tilted her hips gaining a gasp from both parties as he sank in further. It was too much for him and he began to move. Their bodies moved fluidly together neither wanting to take it slow, both wanting to obtain the end they needed…wanted.
It seemed over too quickly but neither complained when they both climaxed almost simultaneously. They stayed joined for several long moments afterwards trying to gain their breath before he slipped from her and moved to her side. He wrapped an arm around her waist and brought to his chest holding her to him.
"That was definitely a rain check worth waiting for." Moira said and they both laughed.
