His words made her face flush again and she giggled slightly.  She had never seen herself as overly beautiful, she just was who she was.  She did as she was asked and enjoyed her life.  Well, generally anyway, the past few months had been tough and she was glad to be here, away from it all.  She couldnt believe the effect that Qasim was having on her.  He made her insides dance and she felt alive in a brand new way.  He was unlike any of the men who had showed an interest in her before.<br/><br/>Her life was pretty mundane she realised as she ducked under wide palm fronds and listened to his deep, rumbling voice.  She had images of him stealing away her virginity, of him takingher so gently, loving her in the way she had always dreamed.  In her mind there were no bad men, she had lived a pretty protected life.<br/><br/>She chuckled as he asked about a husband.  "I am single, there is no man in my life." Nor has there ever been really.  "Do you want to know a secret?" she leant in close to him, "I'm still a virgin" she giggled, "I'm going to be the original old maid" she told him, then she wandered off, seeing a beautiful colored flower in the undergrowth.
