Chapter 13
"Sara, where are you taking me?" Cath asked, fumbling helplessly along the walls.
After dinner Sara had produced a blindfold and took Catherine on a little wander. She could feel the air getting colder, and had deduced they were in a little corridor somewhere.
"You'll find out soon enough." Sara promised, guiding her from behind, hands on her hips. "Don't you trust me?" She asked jokily. Right now Catherine wasn't sure.
They came to some stairs and Sara guided her up slowly, one at a time. At the top, she heard a door creak open and a sudden rush of cold air hit her bare legs.
They walked a little further forward and Sara told her to keep her eyes closed as she removed the blindfold.
"Well? Do you trust me?" That husky voice whispered against her ear and all she could do was nod. "One more step." She felt Sara guiding her up the last step, and suddenly the brunette's arms migrated around her waist, holding her tightly. "Okay, open your eyes." She did.
And found herself on the edge of a building. Her immediate response was to grip Sara's arms like a vice and gasp, but Sara's calm voice infiltrated her instinctive panic. "It's okay. I've got you." She assured her. Though she didn't move her hands, she relaxed a little in Sara's hold and let her eyes wander the view. The lights of Las Vegas illuminated the town, shooting rays of fluorescence into the desert like laser beams. She understood why Sara had brought her up here, it was truly breathtaking. Cautiously, Catherine stepped onto the next ledge, so she was literally stood on the very edge of the building's rooftop. Sara's grip tightened a little more, keeping Catherine safe in her embrace. Putting her entire trust in her girlfriend, Catherine let go of Sara and held her arms out to the side – now she truly understood how Rose must have felt in Titanic. Safe. Loved.
Free.

After leaving the restaurant, they drove to Lake Mead and parked up near the water's edge. Cath took Sara's hand and ran towards the lake, tugging her along. Suddenly she stopped abruptly, causing the brunette to tumble atop her. They hit the floor clumsily and rolled in the grass, playful laughter spilling from their lips. Their mouths found each other in the darkness.
They pulled apart, breathing heavily. Sara brushed Cath's hair out of her face tenderly. Catherine's hands disappeared under Sara's shirt, feeling the heat from Sara's body practically melt into her hands. Her fingers traced the underside of her bra before creeping underneath, caressing the sensitive skin.
Their lips joined again under the moonlight, and Sara moaned into the kiss, arching into Catherine's teasing touches.
"I love you." Cath mumbled against her lips.
Somewhere close by, a light flashed.
