Chapter 7

She had only been with him for a couple days but the feelings she was getting were very strong. She had this undeniable need to be with him. Normal events that should have been no big deal would make her heart flutter in her chest.

When they had gotten to the village she had gone off to find some dinner. Before she found anyone he called her down to the river where there was an unconscious old person. She was so happy he cared for her so much. She didn't seem to repulse him at all.

When she walked up to him to say thank you he brought his lips very close to hers and mumbled a very seductive "Your Welcome." It was an amazing moment and she wished that he had kissed her.

She never felt feelings like this for anyone but he seemed to keep his distance from her. She wondered if he didn't find her attractive or maybe he didn't want to be with her because she was the guardian.

She wanted him with her. He said he would always be with her and protect her. Did he only mean physically? What if she needed him emotionally like she did right now.

He had kept watch over her just like he said he would. No one in the village noticed the missing person. After she was finished they both buried the person together and headed back to the village for supplies.

It may not be tonight but eventually she would find out how he felt about her. Some things he did made him seem like a friend, some like a protector, and others like a lonely man looking for a relationship with a woman. She hoped it would be her.
