I ended up on his lap moments later kissing him passionately before pulling back reluctantly. "We best go it looks like it may rain later." Jared groaned before scooting me off his lap and sliding out of the car.

A thought stuck me as I led him to the clearing I had discovered several months ago. "What did you mean earlier, about worse things than animals?"

Jared looked pained, "I'm not ready to tell you that yet Kim. Please wait, let me be sure." I wanted to ask what he meant but he looked so upset that I just nodded and stood on my tippy toes looking up expectantly. He complied and leaned down to kiss me softly on the lips. "So what do you come here to do normally?"

"Oh you know, get away from my family, relax, just whatever. Sometimes I like to bring my sketch pad and IPod and just sit on the giant stump in the middle and sketch." I smiled up at him. "I only ever bring very special people here."

"Oh? So what, just your boyfriends?"

"Har, har, very funny! No, just you." He wrapped his arms around my waist and the warmth felt amazing. When we reached the clearing Jared grinned megawatt. I led him to the very center of the circular clearing and sat him on the wide stump, about three yards across. I walked a few feet away and set up my easel and pulled out my charcoal. I began to draw and it was turning out really well until an hour in Jared started to fidget.

"Are you almost done?"

"Yes but it would be a lot easier if you wouldn't move."

"Can I at least see it?"

"Not until it's all the way done!"

Jared mad a discontent noise and scowled. I chuckled. "What? What have I done?" He was really adorable when he pouted and I told him so. Adorable enough to persuade you to take a break and come over here?"

"Hmm…not quite." He pouted more. I tried drawing but I was on the face and it was difficult to draw him the way I wanted to when he looked so surly so I ran over to give him a chaste kiss. But he caught me around the waste and scooped me into his arm intensifying the kiss. I thought about pulling away, but I didn't want to. Eventually he pulled away. I scowled.

"Now quite eh? I beg to differ." He chuckled. "I don't like to be away from you for so long."

I looked at my watch, noon. "It's only been a couple hours and I've been right over there." I pointed out.

"Let me rephrase that; I don't like to not be touching you for so long." I chuckled and he grinned.

"Give me ten more minuets to finish your mouth and a but of shading alright?"

"I can think of about twelve different things I'd prefer for you to do with my mouth than draw it, but fine." He grumbled before resuming his pose.

Once I finished I just stared at him a moment, reveling in his beauty and perfection, how was I so lucky? Eventually he looked over realizing I was done he walked over and looked at the finished product.

"Kim, this is amazing! Like really spectacular." I flushed and he picked me up bridal style, carrying my and my things back to the car despite my objections.

We ended up getting fish and chips for lunch and spending the rest of the day on the beach talking. It was the perfect first date. Oh yeah, I was in love.
