Confessors Clearing~ Chapter 3
Now please tell me you're ok so I can finish setting up the camp before Zedd gets back, if we aren't done he will roast us alive. This shelter is barely started and…" She leaped up and kissed him. Without thought one of his arms was around her waist pulling her close, the other was on the back of her head to stop her from moving. They were both in bliss. Everything about this moment told both never to let go and while Richard wanted to listen he knew Zedd would be back soon. Pulling away, "Kahlan, we need to set up camp." He said between kisses. Kahlan, weaker now from more than the release of her power she finally found her strength and took a step back to let Richard know she understood. Richard went about his task and Kahlan decided to go to the nearby lake for a bath and to think about some things. Richard watched as she walked off in the direction of the lake and smiled at the thoughts in his mind.
Zedd came back about five minutes later and started barking orders about the camp and their upcoming mission. After a while Richard said he needed to take a walk and clear his head, leaving Zedd to make dinner. He headed the opposite direction of the lake till he knew Zedd was out of eyesight, even for that old wizard, and then doubled back to the find Kahlan. With all the skill he had learned as a woods guide he sneaked his way to the lake. Once in sight of the lake he couldn't see her so he moved a little closer, as soon as he was past the underbrush she came up from rinsing her hair. In moments he was stumbling over invisible logs and made more noise than intended. Startled by the noise, she sunk down into the water and looked to find the source. Scanning the tree line her eyes came to rest on Richard.
"Would you like to join me the water is amazing right now and I think you would really like it." She stood up a little so the water was just above her breasts, teasing him the whole time she gave him the smile reserved for only him and kicked back shooting her to the middle of the lake. Almost falling down the short bank Richard pulled and yanked at his clothes trying to get them off before hitting the water, and to his surprise managed to get them all off by the time he dove into the cold shallow water. Taking a little more time to get to the center then she did he circled her without so much as a toe touching her. "Your right this is wonderful just the right temperature." Watching her he could see she wanted him to hold her, and while earlier he would have done anything to not let her go right now he was afraid that if he got to close, if he touched her, she would disappear and the whole thing would be nothing more than a dream. "Alright confessor you got me all the way out here, is this where your plan ends?" While he was afraid to wake up from this moment she was not even timid about the events taking place. If he wasn't going to initiate anything this time then she would and with that thought she grab him by the shoulders pulled him under the water and kissed him with more passion then she thought was possible, he returned the kiss with just as much passion. His fears now gone he pulled her close and for one moment wished they were fish so they could stay under forever. Releasing each other just enough to return to the surface they again embraced. Richard dream was to be with Kahlan, and Kahlan's dream was to be able to simple touch someone without fear, to be able to touch the one man she has ever loved made her more than blissful. They spent awhile exploring their new found love and realized that both their dreams had come true. After some time they realize how much time had passed and hurried to get back to camp. Walking hand-in-hand, they were to happy not even Zedd's complaining about their lateness could bother them.
