Memories are better left forgotten
They had left early that morning. But the conversation with Katrina still seemed to settle in his mind. "What was she talking about? Does she know about my thoughts of Selena?", as he started to blush. Ichabod looked over to her riding her large black horse.
It was quite intimidating for Ichabod when he had first seen the creature but Selena would only coo towards the horse telling Ichabod it was like a giant teddy bear. That it couldn't hurt a fly but Ichabod wasn't so sure it was all that innocent.
It was a marvelous steed and she seemed to become like a small doll riding on its back. He was surprised she wasn't frightened. They slowly road during the early morning just as the sun had began to peak amongst the tree's. It was a beautiful sight even though the tree's were dead and the fog had yet to be lifted.
He once again looked back at Selena. He had come to figure out that there was so much tension between them because of that kiss. Well not kiss to be exact…more wild passionate and desperate kissing that left them both hot and wanting with desire.
Ichabod breathed deeply through his nostrils trying to relax himself and the burning sensation he could feel in his loins. He could feel it calling him, as his pants seemed to get tighter and tighter by the minute. "Are you alright Ichabod?", he could feel her burning gaze on the side of his face but he would not turn and look at her because he knew if he did it would become his undoing and he would take her.
"I'm fine Selena..", clearing his voice trying to act as calm as possible. As they got nearer and nearer to the small cottage of Selena's the air became colder, the ground became overtaken with fog and the grass, a dead yellow. The tree's black and twisted looking like hands about to reach out and grab you. It gave Ichabod an unnerving feeling. They had finally reached the cottage. It was burnt down, pieces of black wood laid scattered.
The brick chimney stood there pieces of black logs still laying there waited to be burned thoroughly. They stopped their horses as Ichabod got off already feeling the immense tightness in his pants loosen a bit.
He walked over to Selena's horse grabbing her hands and helping her down. Right when he was about to let go she had gently grasped his hands and looked at them. There she found small punctured dots all throughout his hands.
She gently traced them staring at them wondering what sort of instrument had cause such a pain. "These are interesting….what are they?"
Ichabod remembered all too well but the pain he felt grasp and wrench at his heart made him lie. "I wish I knew. I've had them since I could remember".
Selena only looked up smiling and he knew. He knew that she saw straight through his lie. He didn't know how but she did and that unnerved him. She walked passed him walking through the small entry way.
She bent over towards the hearth a few wild flowers she had picked and put into her hair. She grabbed a twig and began tracing images into the soot of the hearth. "Katrina and I, use to play by this hearth. It was our first drawing school and our mother was our teacher".
"Oh look the archer!", as she softly rubbed a spot on a stone which showed the picture of an archer carved in the stone. "This was here long before even we lived here…."
Ichabod's blood ran cold. She looked just like her in his dream. His mother right there by the hearth drawing things in the dust throwing flowers in the hearth smiling at him. It was all too much. Ichabod spun around as he held back tears of frustration and sadness.
Then he heard it. The sound of a small bird. He looked up to find a cardinal chirping away on a dead branch looking at him. Selena also heard the sound looking up from the hearth the purple violets in her hair as she smiled up at the bird.
"It's a cardinal…", as Ichabod looked back at her. "Do you like cardinals?", as he glanced back at the bird to find that it was staring back at him. "I do…..but my sister, Katrina especially loves them. When we were younger she wanted to capture one and keep it as her own. But she didn't have the heart to do it", as she smiled warmly at the bird.
"I happen to find the Crow an interesting bird…", as she softly hummed returning to her drawings at the hearth. "A Crow?", as he gave her a quizzical look. "They are dreadful birds. No good can come from them. They are evil and malicious creatures", as Selena gave him a smirking smile.
"Well Ichabod they may not be the most beautiful of creatures. But they are wise, mystical creatures. They know things…", as silence came over them. Once again they heard the cardinal singing away breaking the silence.
"Well since you and Katrina enjoy cardinal's so much I have something for you", clearing his voice and reaching into the pocket of his jacket. Selena stood up walking over to him standing so close to him he could smell it.
The soft smell of violets and carnations embracing her very warmth. He was overtaken by it that all he wanted to do was just drown in her skin. The soft texture of it. The way it glowed leaving her a pale porcelain look, as her skin delved beneath the fabric of her clothing.
But then he remembered again. The time they had spent with each other by that small pond. Her in barely any clothing. Him in barely any of his clothing let HER undress him. He saw far too much skin of hers. He was a gentleman and she was a lady.
What they both had done was so wrong but what was so wrong about something that had felt so right. He sighed again clearing away his thoughts as he brought out a small circular disk. On one side there was a picture of a cardinal and on the other side there was a cage.
There were two strings attached to each side of the circle. He held it up to her face and began to spin it. And there he saw it. The look of pure enjoyment and surprise on her face. She softly laughed.
"You can do magic! Teach me!", as he slowly shook his head. "It is no magic Selena. It is called Optics. Separate pictures which become one picture in the spinning….Like the truth which I must spin here….", as the two pictures of the cardinal and the cage mingled looking as if the cardinal was in the cage.
Selena looked up from spinning the small disk in her hands to Ichabod's face. She looked up to find him already staring down at her. She stood there mesmerized, his dark warm eye's inviting her as he softly leaned downward as she softly leaned forward.
\
Finally there lips met in a delicate almost shy kiss which turned into a dominating one as there tongues begged each other entrance which was granted. They fought roughly kissing each other biting, sucking, nipping till they could feel there lips swelling.
They had to stop. Selena leaned against him breathing deeply into his chest as his muscular scent drifted into her sense's as she felt drowsy against him. She buried herself even deeper breathing him in as she felt his warm breath on her neck making the small hair tingle and goose bumps appear.
She could feel his raspy breathing in her ear, as she felt his arms encircle her waist while she encircled her arms around his neck her hands grabbing tufts of his ebony dark hair. It felt so soft to the touch.
She loved it. And what she loved more is running her hands through it. She looked up from his chest to his face and she knew. She could see the lust and the wanting in his eyes. His usually pale face holding a dark blush. His lips swollen and moist while his body radiated heat.
She knew from then on that she was his. And only his.
