Author's note: The recipe you find in this chapter is an actual one to help you sleep.

********************

Storm was having trouble sleeping. She had tried everything she could think of. Nothing seemed to help. She got up and walked to her sisters' rooms. They both were sleeping very peacefully. Then she felt something on her arm. It felt like fingers closing around it, leading her through the house to the kitchen to a hidden door. The door opened and Storm found herself in a small room. On the shelves were numerous jars of incense, herbs, flower petals, candles, and what looked like shiny stones (actually different colored crystals). Looking around she saw a table in the corner that had what looked like a well-worn ledger on it. The ledger opened on its own, revealing what she knew was her mother's handwriting.

She began reading the ledger, the pages turning on their own. The contents, as she could figure, were notes on spells and potions. Beside each one were written instructions on what they were to be used for and when to do them. As she read along, she found it hard in some places to read as they looked to be worn and used quite often. When the last page had turned, there was a folded piece of paper with her name on it. As best as she could tell, the and writing looked as if it were just written. Storm picked up the note and read it.

"Storm - we brought you to this room in the hope that you have changed your mind. The ledger contains everything you need on how to use the items in this room. Your father and I will always be proud of you no matter what you do. Do not doubt the old woman's words. She knows more than you know. Turn to page 15 of the ledger, there you will find the recipe to help you sleep.

We love you,

Your loving parents"

Storm read the note again. She thought to herself, "Well, now is the time to start." For most of the night she slowly read the ledger through, sometimes having difficulty making out the faded print on some of the pages. At about 4 in the morning, she began to feel a stiffness in her neck. She turned to page 15 and found the recipe to sleep. She read it through and began looking for the ingredients, measuring them into a bowl:

"Let's see, 2 tsp. of lemon balm; 1 tsp dried chamomile; 4 tsp. dried lemon grass; 1 tsp dried spearmint, and 1 tsp grated orange peel." After she mixed them she went to the kitchen and brought the teakettle to a boil and put 2 tsp. in a cup and poured the water over it. She slowly drank the tea.

The next thing she knew, Joy was shaking her. "Wake up, Storm! It's time to go open the shop!"

Storm woke up and looked at the time. She didn't remember going back to bed. But she felt better, more refreshed and ready to face the day.

"You and Felicia go on and open up. I'll be there as soon as I can."

Joy and Felicia took the car into town. Storm didn't mind walking. It would give her a chance to think more on what the old woman had said and what was written in the note. After taking a quick wash up and dressing rather quickly, she was out the door.

Luke woke up to the smell of coffee and bacon cooking. Stretching his long body, he went in and took a shower. He kept thinking about yesterday at the coffee shop. He had never in all his life met anyone like her. She had run from him as if she were afraid of something. He shook his head as he put his hair back from his face and put a blue bandana around his head. He put on black jeans and shirt, socks and biker boots. Seems he might take a ride into town. It had been a while since he had read a good book.

Bo and Zach were already eating when Luke sat down. Bo had been talking about possibly riding around the countryside, checking out different areas around the lake. Zach was thinking more along the lines of possibly heading into town and checking out a couple of places there. Bo made the remark that maybe it was a certain bookstore in town. Zach just looked at him and smiled. Bo thought, "Come to think of it, that's not such a bad idea." A vision of long auburn hair and big brown eyes came to mind. After clearing the dishes, they left for town.

Chapter 7

Storm was walking along the side of the road towards town. The day was perfect, sunny and not too warm. She was lost in thought and did not hear the Harleys behind her.

The men saw someone walking ahead. As they got closer, Luke recognized the long jet black hair. They slowed down and were soon beside her. Storm turned her head and soon was falling headlong onto the ground, having twisted her foot on a stone. They stopped immediately. Luke quickly got off his bike to help her up.

"I'm sorry. Are you okay?" he asked.

"A little shaken, but otherwise I feel alright," she replied.

"How's your foot?"

Storm tested her foot. It was okay. As she began brushing the dust from her pants, she noticed a rather long cut on the palm of her hand. "Funny," she thought to herself, "why didn't I feel it?"

"It seems I cut myself on a stone when I fell," she said.

Luke got a small kerchief from his saddlebag and dabbed at the cut, then wrapped it around her hand.

"Thank you. I'll take care of it when I get to the store."

"You know it is rather dangerous to be walking out here. You see what happened."

"I've done this before and never had any problems."

Bo and Zach were sitting there looking at the two of them and smiled, watching the attention he was giving her. Bo interrupted to say they were going on seeing that "everything" was okay. They sped off to town, leaving the two of them there.

"Why don't you ride with me into town. The sooner we get it taken care of the better."

"Really, it's okay. I'll be fine."

"I'm taking you into town. End of discussion," he said a little more forcefully than he wanted.

Storm didn't say another word. Luke got on his bike; Storm got on behind. Luke told her to wrap her arms as best she could around his waist. He slowly took off and took his time going to town. When they got to the bookstore, Storm got off slowly and walked into the store, Luke right behind.

Joy was behind the counter and saw them come in. Zach had told her what happened. "There's a small medicine cabinet in the back," she said with a smile.

Storm showed him where it was. Luke wet a towel and began washing the cut.

"It really isn't necessary for you to do this," she said, her eyes looking down, not used to the attention being given her.

"Yes it is," he said as he took a cotton swab and put some iodine on it. "This might sting a bit, but it won't last long." He dabbed a some on the cut.

Storm winced a little, but soon the sting was gone. Luke took a roll of gauze and wrapped the palm of her hand and then tied it. It felt a little stiff but he had wrapped it good.

"That should do for a couple of days."

"Thank you."

They walked out of the back. As the store was not too busy then, Joy said to go ahead and grab a cup of coffee. Felicia was behind the counter serving another cup to Bo and Zach. Luke and Storm sat at one of the tables. Bo had told Felicia what had happened. Felicia brought each of them a cup of espresso.

Storm picked up the cup with her other hand but almost dropped it as she was shaking. Luke caught the cup and helped her take a small sip. Storm was embarrassed. "I should get to work. After all, Joy's been running the store and probably needs a break."

Just then the old woman came in. She saw Storm sitting at the table. She also noticed Luke sitting there.

"Good morning, granny. How are you today?"

"I'm fine child. What happened to your hand?"

Storm told her what happened. The old woman told her that she really shouldn't have been walking along the road. Storm introduced Luke to her. The old woman had been looking Luke over. "Yes," she said to herself, "this is definitely the one."

Storm excused herself and went into the bookstore to relieve Joy, who promptly came into the shop and sat next to Zach.

"I hope you don't mind a nosy old woman, but how long have you been here?"

"My friends and I got here yesterday. We're staying at a cabin at the lake. I heard her call you granny."

"I'm not their real granny. I was a mid-wife at one time and helped deliver all three of them. They're kind of special to me. I like coming here and they treat me as if I was their real granny.

She got up and excused herself. She took her usual cup of coffee with her and left, smiling as she went out the door.

Chapter 8

Joy got her a cappuccino and sat next to Zach. She liked the smell of his cologne and inched closer to him. Zach liked the light scent of lilac that Joy wore. As she went to reach for a napkin, her hand lightly brushing against his fingers. He looked at her. Joy looked down and blushed.

Bo was looking into Felicia's eyes. He thought they looked like a doe's eyes, big with long lashes. Felicia had to admit that Bo had the sexiest blue eyes she had ever seen. The two couples were looking at each other, the girls not really noticing the customers coming into the shop. One of the customers cleared his throat. The girls went to wait on them.

Luke had gone back to the store to see how Storm was. She was busy ringing up a customer and was having some trouble handling a book as it was pretty good size and the bandage was making her hand rather stiff. She saw the book being taken out of her hand and put into the bag. She turned and saw Luke beside her.

Storm closed the bookstore at noon and asked the girls what they wanted for lunch. It was a habit of hers to get lunch for her and her sisters. Felicia felt like a sandwich, Joy saying she felt like a salad. Bo and Zach offered to get lunch. Luke asked Storm what she wanted. She didn't really feel hungry, but Luke said he would bring her something back. She told him of a small restaurant down the block where she would always go. Twenty minutes later they came back. The girls set up and soon everyone was eating

. The old woman was in her chair, eyes closed, concentrating her energy. She could see the relationships developing. Then she saw something that made her shake. She awoke with a start. It had been the same dream she had for years. Trouble was coming.

Joy opened the store back up a little after one. The guys said they were going to ride back to the cabin and be back later to take them to dinner. The afternoon went fast and soon it was time to close. The girls freshened up in the back. At seven the guys came back. The girls suggested a steakhouse that served a good New York strip. The girls drove their car home, the guys following, all agreeing to take the bikes instead of the car. On their way to the restaurant, Storm again felt the wind through her hair. As she hung on, she closed her eyes, letting it wash over her.

The couples enjoyed themselves as the restaurant had a dance floor and live music. Storm was especially enjoying herself. She looked up at Luke and smiled as they were dancing. Luke saw her eyes glow with that inner light that he had yet to figure out where it came from. They left just before the restaurant closed. When they got to the house, the girls invited them in for a nightcap. Storm went out on the porch. A light breeze was blowing. She could tell a change was coming. Luke stood next to her, her face glowing in the dark as her eyes were closed.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked.

"Nothing in particular. There's a change in weather coming. It should be here in a couple of days."

Luke looked at her puzzled. "How do you know?"

"I just do," she replied.

The two couples inside were dancing very close to some music that was playing on the radio. Bo looked down at Felicia, her eyes closed as she was listening to the music, her lashes looking like fluttering butterfly wings. He tilted her chin and put his lips to hers, putting his arms around her, holding her like a precious jewel.

Joy and Zach had their arms around each other, looking in each other's eyes. Zach bent his head, his lips touching hers.

Storm felt her body being turned. When she opened them, she saw green eyes in front of her coming closer, a pair of warm lips were on hers. A pair of strong arms enveloped her, holding her close to his body. Slowly she wound her arms around his neck, a soft moan escaping her.

Luke pulled her tighter against him, his tongue now winding around hers.

Storm wound her arms tighter. Luke groaned, deepening the kiss even more. When they parted, they looked in each other's eyes. Storm put her head to his chest, hearing his heart beat. Luke held her close, telling himself to wait, not yet.

Bo and Zach came out on the porch, having said good night to the girls. Reluctantly Luke kissed her, stroking her cheek. Storm watched till she could no longer see his taillight, then she went in the house.

The girls each went to their room and slowly undressed for bed. Each found sleep slow in coming. Storm definitely could not sleep. She had experienced a myriad of emotions and feelings tonight. She had not wanted Luke to leave.

Storm got up and went to the room by the kitchen. She had to get some sleep or she would not be able to work. She again made the tea and drunk it slowly. As she lay there, sleep took over, but this time something else was there also.

When the guys got back to the cabin, Bo and Zach each got a beer. Luke shook his head no. Instead he went out to the porch and sat in one of the chairs. Zach closed his eyes seeing a pair of deep blues occupy his thoughts. Not since his wife had died in a car accident had a woman touched him this deeply. He had shied away from getting too seriously involved, not wanting to experience a loss again. He was thinking now was the time to try again.

Bo was thinking of big doe eyes and the feel of silken auburn hair. He had always held himself in check, but tonight he had lost it. Never again would he be the same. Each of them retired to their own room, knowing that the next time they would not sleep alone.

From the start Luke had been captured by golden eyes. He was mesmerized when he saw her with her eyes closed tonight, her face glowing in the dark. He could taste the softness of her lips, the way she had clung to him. A warm feeling began to spread throughout his body.

Chapter 9

The girls opened up the shop as usual, except this morning seemed different. Everything seemed a lot clearer than it had before. Joy and Felicia were talking about their dates in between customers.

"Whew, I don't know if I can handle Bo. He's definitely not of the ordinary. Every time I closed my eyes all I could see was long blond wavy hair and sexy blue eyes. He's got me hot and I've only known him a couple of days."

"It's the same with Zach. Those hazel eyes of his make my knees weak every time I think about them. And can he kiss! Whew! Seriously, Felicia, what do you think they would say if they knew we were witches. That could scare them off."

"You're right it could. You know how people perceive witches - hook nose, all bent over, putting curses on people. They could be the same way. They may even think we did a witch spell on them."

Storm was busy checking in the new books she had ordered. After pricing them she began putting them on the shelves. Her hand was still a little sore but she was able to move it a bit. Like her sisters, she too was thinking about last night. She hadn't had much experience, but she could tell Luke was well traveled.

She thought back to the kiss they shared. Even now it made her warm and tingly all over. She had wanted to mention to him the tattoos on his arms. She was curious as to what they meant. Storm didn't know much about tattoos, but she could tell a lot of work and time had gone into them. Perhaps she would get a chance to find out. She also wondered what would he say if he knew that she was a witch. Would he have the same misconceptions that most people had?

The guys had finished eating breakfast at the cabin. Usually they would joke about something, but this morning they ate in relative silence. Each of them still had last night on their minds.

"I think I'm going to stay a while longer," Luke said, breaking the silence. "You can go on back if you want."

"What makes you think we're leaving?" Zach asked with raised brows. "Bo and I are just as hooked on Felicia and Joy as you are with Storm. "

Luke knew Zach was right. He was very much hooked on Storm. Luke could tell she was inexperienced but was a quick learner. It had taken everything he had not to take her to a dark spot and make love to her. The thought was sending a warm feeling through his body.

"I'm going for a ride," Luke said as he headed out the door.

Bo and Zach were right behind him. A good bike ride with the wind blowing on their faces was just what they needed. They took off and went down a narrow trail they had spotted when they first got there.

They stopped at a glade near a stand of oak trees. They started to climb the small hill when Zach spotted something. Looking down at the glade, they saw something that puzzled them. They were looking at the outline of a circle that appeared to have been there for quite sometime.

"I wonder how long its been there and who or what put it there?" Bo asked.

"There's no telling how long its been there. Now who put it there would be something worth finding out," Zach said.

Luke was looking at the scenery. He could see the town a short distance away. The trees showing a faint beginning of changing color. It was very picturesque. The perfect spot to bring the girls.

"Why don't we bring the girls up here for an outing? I think they would enjoy it," Luke said.

Bo and Zach agreed. They stayed there for about an hour, enjoying the view and fresh air. It was towards noon time when they headed back to the cabin to grab some lunch and make plans.

The girls closed the store and coffee shop early. They headed home as they were somewhat tired. After cleaning up and eating a light supper, Joy and Felicia each relaxed with a book. Storm was in the little room off the kitchen going through the ledger. She had decided to heed the old woman's advice. There were places in the ledger Storm did not understand and was going to have to ask the old woman what they meant.

The next morning she told Joy and Felicia she was going to see the old woman. The old woman seemed to know she was coming because she was at the door waiting for her.

Chapter 10

"I was wondering when you were going to come. I take it you're ready to begin your training?"

Storm nodded her head.

"Good. I'm not going to try and teach you everything at once. I will teach you what you need to know."

Storm had brought the ledger with her. The first thing she told Storm was that what she had read from was called a "grimoire." She explained it was a book of rituals generally written by the individual based on traditions that have been handed down for generations. The spells/potions were those her mother had used often. The old woman emphasized more than once that at no time were these spells used to harm another individual, for to do so was to bring harm upon yourself. The old woman went through each spell and potion. It was late in the afternoon when they had finished. She said that they would begin practice on the potions and spells in the next few of days. She wanted Storm to have a while to think about what the book contained.

Storm went home, her mind in a whirl about what she had learned. There was so much to learn and so little time. When she arrived she saw the bikes parked in front of the house.

The guys had come by early that afternoon to ask the girls did they want to go on a picnic as they had found a spot not far from the lake. Luke had been disappointed she wasn't there. The girls had told him where she had gone. When she entered, Luke stood up, glad to see her at last.

Luke looked at her hand, seeing the bandage needed changing. Storm took him to the bathroom and opened the medicine chest. He looked at the cut. It was beginning to heal nicely and put on a fresh one.

"I had some things I had needed to talk to granny about. You know how it is when older people get to talking, they don't seem to know when to quit," Storm said with a smile.

"Storm, the guys want to take us on a picnic tomorrow."

"Well, I don't see why not. The shop is closed on Saturday. Is there anything we need to do or bring?"

"No, we'll provide everything. Just bring yourself," Luke said. "We'll pick you up about 10 o'clock. Is that okay?"

"It's fine with me. I'll be ready."

Joy and Felicia each agreed.

Chapter 11

The guys left to get everything they would need. There was a lot to do. The girls were excited. To have a day away from the house would feel great. Joy and Felicia were busy picking out what to wear. Storm was still thinking about what she had learned.

The next morning, Joy and Felicia were up early. Storm was the last to get ready. She was nervous and couldn't decide what to wear. Felicia said she would pick out something for her while she showered.

Storm took her time showering. She had found a bottle of what looked like shampoo in the back room. It smelled of roses, her favorite scent. She washed her hair, making sure the rose-scented shampoo got to every strand. After drying herself, she massaged lotion all over her. It was what her mother had used on her own skin; Storm remembering how soft her mother's skin always felt.

She took particular care in brushing her hair. Storm thought about wearing it in a ponytail but decided to leave her hair as it was. Felicia had picked out a peasant blouse that was worn off the shoulder, jeans, and black sandals. She put on just enough makeup to highlight her eyes.

The guys were on time. They guys had left their hair loose, which made them look sexy. Storm couldn't believe how different Luke looked with his hair loose. The guys were all smiles when they saw the girls. Joy and Felicia had decided to wear tank tops, jeans and sandals. Luke saw how Storm's hair seemed to shine when she stood in the sun. When she got on and put her arms around him, he could smell the faint scent of rose.

It wasn't long before they reached the spot. They had decided to set up as soon as they got there. They took their time eating, enjoying the day. Afterwards, the girls packed up the leftovers.

Storm was enjoying the view from the hill. She never knew how beautiful the valley was until today. As she stood there, she felt a hand close around hers.

"I never knew it was this beautiful," she said.

Luke's arm went around her waist, drawing her close to him. They were alone as the others had decided to go for a short walk. Along the way, Zach showed Joy the circle in the glade, asking her if she knew how it got there. Joy at first didn't know whether she should tell him or not, but decided to go ahead. "It's rumored that many years ago the glade was a meeting place. The circle was part of a ritual used by a group of witches or coven."

"Witches! There's witches around here!"

Joy knew she was going to have a hard time telling him she was one of those "witches." But she wasn't going to let that spoil her good time.

Felicia and Bo were near some acorn trees, his arm around her. Bo was telling her about some things he had seen while traveling on his bike. Felicia laughed the whole time.

Towards late afternoon, a cool breeze came up. Storm knew rain was coming. She shivered in anticipation of the approaching storm. Luke had felt her shiver and thought she was getting chilly.

"Maybe we had better leave. You're starting to shiver."

Storm didn't tell him that it was not that she was chilly, but that she was waiting on the approaching storm. By that time the other couples had returned. They loaded up the bikes and left for the cabin. They took the food in and then covered their bikes, setting them up on the porch. Luke started a fire; soon it was blazing.

"Are you sure your bikes will be okay?" Storm asked.

"They're covered up good, they'll be okay."

Chapter 12

The girls set out the leftovers in case someone was hungry. Bo and Zach ate as if they had bottomless pits. Zach had just finished eating. Joy couldn't take her eyes of him; just watching him eat was exciting to her. She wondered if she would have to make the first move. Zach had told her earlier about his wife and how she died in a car accident. She knew he might be hesitant, but she felt he was attracted to her, and she knew she wanted him.

After they had finished eating, they went and sat on the sofa which was on one side of the fireplace. Joy sat very close to him, resting her hand on his thigh. Zach cautiously draped his arm around her. It had been a long time for him and he had missed the touch of a woman. The sound of rain coming down interrupted his thoughts. Zach could feel her shake ever so slightly. He didn't know Joy had a fear of storms, which was unusual for a witch.

Felicia and Bo had also gone into the living room and sat down on one of the love seats there. They were looking into each other's eyes as they sat next to each other. Bo gingerly put his arm around Felicia as she rested her head on his chest. She could hear his heart beating and when she wrapped her arm around him she could feel the intake of his breath. He did not believe what was happening but he didn't want it to stop. Felicia slowly rubbing her fingers along his rib cage, causing his breathing to become slightly faster. Bo ran his fingers through her hair as he rested his head on the top of hers.

There was a big flash of lightning, followed by a loud clap of thunder that shook the cabin. The lights suddenly went out. Joy visibly jumped, curling her body into a ball as close to Zach as she could. Zach tightened his arm around her saying, "It's okay baby, I'm here."

Felicia dug her head more into Bo's chest upon hearing the thunder. She wasn't afraid of it, but she didn't like the loud sound that the thunder made. She wrapped her arms tighter against Bo as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Lightning must have hit a power line. Looks like the fireplace will be the only light for awhile," Zach said.

Joy started to shake again. He pressed her hand to his chest, then kissed her forehead. She started to relax. She looked up into his beautiful hazel eyes. He kissed her softly on the lips and held her till she stopped. He whispered in her ear, "Please stay with me in my room." Joy nodded. Quietly they slipped to his room.

Felicia was clinging to Bo, who had a protective arm around her. "Are you frightened?" Bo asked. "Not of the lightening, but the sound of thunder does get to me" Felicia replied. Bo kissed her lightly and said "Well, why don't we go to my room where we can stretch out on my bed. This way I can keep you protected from the nasty thunder" as he grabbed her hand and led her to his room.

Luke and Storm had been sitting on the other couch, his arm draped around her. When there had been the flash of lightning, her eyes lit up. Luke saw her eyes glow in the dark. Storm got up to look out the window, watching the lightning with fascination. Soon a pair of arms encircled her. Storm leaned back against his chest. The whole time he wondered where did the glow come from. Storm turned and faced him. The next flash of lightning saw him bend and kiss her, parting her lips, his tongue finding his way to hers. Luke knew he should wait, but it was too late.

Chapter 13

Once inside the room, Zach pulled Joy into his arms. "It's been so long since I've wanted anyone," he whispered. He leaned down and kissed her. Joy traced his lips with her tongue, enticing him to open his. She entered his mouth, Zach pushing his into hers as they explored and tasted each other. Joy broke the kiss, but not before she gently sucked his tongue.

Joy's hands made their way under his shirt, running them up his back, feeling his muscles ripple at her touch. She moved her hands to his belly, then up his chest. Zach removed his shirt, helping Joy out of hers. Joy leaned in and took his nipple in her mouth. Zach moaned softly. She nipped and sucked till it was hard, then went on to the other. Zach reached around and unhooked her bra and let it slide to the floor. Joy loosened his belt and unbuttoned his jeans, feeling his hardening manhood. She hooked her fingers inside the waistband and pushed them down, running her hands over his firm backside. She then stepped back and removed the rest of her clothing.

Joy gently pushed him till they reached the bed and he sat down as they gazed into each other's eyes. Joy said, "You're a beautiful man, Zach. Let go of the past." He put his arm around her waist and pulled her close. With the other hand he massaged her breast, rubbing his thumb lightly over the sensitive tip, watching as it hardened. He then took it in his warm mouth, the sensation causing Joy to take a quick, deep breath. Running her fingers through his long hair, she pulled him away from him and knelt in front of him. She looked up into his eyes as she ran her hands over his bare, muscular thighs. Just for a moment, she avoided his growing desire, her fingertips running through the soft tangle of curls surrounding it.

When she finally wrapped her fingers around his manhood, she took him in her mouth. Zach jumped at the feeling of her warm tongue dancing over the tip of his member. The sensations she caused quickly brought him to the brink.

He grabbed her and pulled her up, wrapping his arms around her. He lay back on the bed, taking her with him. He then rolled over till he was on top of her, their naked bodies pressed together. He gazed into her beautiful blue eyes, kissing her long and hard. He nuzzled her neck then slowly worked his way down her body, stopping to take each breast in his mouth, sucking till the pink tips were hard and erect. He ran his hand down her belly and found the point of her desire, expertly manipulating her. He inserted two fingers in her as his tongue replaced his hand. Her breathing was ragged. She moaned and called his name softly as she reached her climax. He felt her muscles contract around his fingers. Moving back up to meet her gaze he saw one tear escape from her eye. She watched as he put his still damp fingers to his mouth, tasting her inner being.

He held her till her breathing returned to normal. She grabbed his hair and pulled until his lips met hers. She moved her lips to his ear, "I want to feel you inside me," she whispered. With his eyes locked on hers, he positioned himself between her legs and slowly entered her. His size was incredible. She felt every inch slide in to her. He started thrusting slow at first. As she adjusted he moved faster, Joy meeting each thrust with one of her own.

She felt his body start to shake, his eyes closed. She heard a low growl start in his chest. She felt herself climax for the second time as his body shuddered, releasing his seed deep inside her. He buried his face in the hollow of her neck and moaned softly. Joy wrapped her arms around him till they both calmed.

He rolled off her on to his back. She spoke no words to him, but covered their bodies with a sheet and snuggled up against him. He wrapped an arm around her. She couldn't see he was fighting to control the emotion that welled up inside of him. She fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat, the storm that raged outside forgotten.

Chapter 14

Bo led Felicia through the darkened house until they reached his room.They entered and Bo led her over to the bed and sat her down on it as he went over to the night table and pulled out a candle and lit it.

He turned to Felicia and walked over to her. He hunkered down in front of her until their faces were just inches apart. Felicia looked at his features in the dim lighting. She especially loved the way his blond hair just fell past his shoulders in a wild look. Bo had his eyes closed as she reached for his hair with her right hand, entangling it in his hair. With her left hand she tilted his face towards hers until she was able to kiss him softly.

Bo felt what she was doing and kept his eyes closed. She teased his lips with her tongue until they parted, giving her access to the warm, moist inside. She ran her tongue over his as their kiss intensified and they became more passionate.

Bo started to straighten up, slowly bringing her up and leaning her back on the bed, with him on top. He had one arm around her as he pulled her towards him and molded her body to his. He wound up with one leg between hers and she could feel as he rubbed his thigh against her intimate part. She moaned softly as he applied more pressure to her with his thigh.

Felicia very slowly let go of his hair and ran her hands very gently down his shoulders and then up his ribcage until she was able to put her hands under his shirt and ran her fingers over his manly chest. She teased him gently with her fingernails until he released her lips and sighed deeply. She took the opportunity to then kiss and suck on his neck as she methodically ran her hands down his body, opening and removing his clothes as she went along.

Once Bo's clothes were open he stood up and removed them. He lay next to Felicia as he slowly unbuttoned her clothes and very gently ran his fingers over her skin, making goose flesh appear where his fingers had just been. He followed his fingers with his lips as he sucked gently on her exposed skin. He finally had her undressed and proceeded to tease her to no end.

As they teased each other they wound up tantalizing each other with their tongues at the same time. When they both felt as if they would explode, Bo pulled her up and positioned her so that he could enter her.

Felicia was on the verge of losing control when Bo entered her and all he heard was her sigh as he embedded himself completely with one slow, but steady stroke.When he was all the way in, he gave her a few minutes to adjust to him and wrapped her legs around his waist.

He then increased his speed, which she matched stroke for stroke. As they reached their earth-shattering climax, Bo softly bit into her neck to stop from yelling, while she whimpered softly as the both went over.

Bo kept on until he had made them both see the stars and the planets two more times.
