I wake up and it's already Mid-day. I guess Zedd decided to let us sleep. He is no where in plane sight. I look beside me and I see Kahlan.

She's looking at me, with a smile on her face. I look her in the eyes and forget that Zedd isn't in plain sight or that we have to get going. I

feel this need in me rise. The need to kiss her, touch her. I know I won't be able to stop if she touches me back, and I promised that I

wouldn't let things go too far, although I don't know where too far begins and ends at this moment in time.

Before I have time to warn her, I latch my lips to hers. And that's all it takes to set us off. She grabs on to my shirt and pulls me on top of her.

I moan at the feeling of her beneath me and she moans because of my weight on top of her. She arches beneath me, I curl my tongue

around hers and I move my hands to her wrist. I grab her hands and pull them above her head. I then go down her neck, leaving wet filled

kisses all along the vein that pumps blood to and from the heart that has love for me.

"Let go off my hands" Kahlan moans as I bite her collar bone.

"No, I have you right where I want you" I say. I don't tell her that this is a way for me to touch her and not lose control. I'm barely on edge

right now. Anything, Everything she does can set me off. With her hands on me, I can't think, I just want to feel. If we were any normal

couple, this would not be a problem.

I put both her wrist in my left hand and raise the bottom of her Confessor's dress with my right hand, all the while kissing the top of her

breast. I raise it mid-thigh and put my hand on her thigh. The feel of her flesh underneath my fingertips is so incredible. She arches beneath

me, thrusting her chest to mine. I moan at the sensation. So many barriers of clothing and I can still feel her heat. I can only imagine what the

heat would feel like if we had no barriers.I kiss her up the other side of her neck while I wrap her leg around my waist and thrust forward. My

pelvis meets hers at just the right angle and she moans name.

I know I have to stop. A part of me says a little bit more is all I need, all we need and the other part of me says that all we do would never be

enough. My craving for her would not be so easily sated, even if we were to consummate our love. I bite the tip of her chin and kiss her with

as much hunger as I can. I let go of her hands and manage to roll her on top of me. She has her hands in my hair now, she's grinding against

me and the sensation is, ugh! I have to stop her. I slow down our kiss, and she follows my lead without protest. She runs her hands down

my chest and I begin to pull away from our kiss. Slowly I release her lips and I grab her hips tightly to stop her grinding motion. I groan and

when I look up at her, I know she can see the need and disappointment that we couldn't finish what we started, on my face. It's mirrored in

hers.

We don't say anything until our breathing slows down and our hearts are at a steady beat again.

"Wow" She says, reminding me that I'm the first man she's ever kissed, let alone the first man who just touched places untouched.

"Wow, Indeed". I put my hands on the sides of her face and rub my thumbs on her cheeks. We sat like that for a while until I said

"We have to pack and get ready. Zedd and I must get the Mother Confessor to Aydindril."

"Okay".

By the time We finished packing, Zedd came back and with food. I never asked him where he was, and he never asked Kahlan and I what we

were doing while he was gone. We ate, packed and got back to our Journey. Getting Kahlan to Aydindril is my quest for now. Whatever may

happen along the way, I know I have her by my side. I told Kahlan to never doubt the love I have for her. And I will never give up hope that

one day, we'll be able to consummate our love.

The End
