“The list is by no means complete,” He said by way of disclaimer. “I like your courage of conviction.  Your willingness to take the worst possible beatings for what you believe in and still hold true. I like your nerves of steel. The hate in your eyes. Your determination. Your endless energy.”<br/><br/>He pause a minute and brushed a curl as he cradled her in his arms. Looking deep in those eyes, a look meant only for her even thought he didn’t know it yet.<br/><br/>“I’m in awe of you,” He said quietly. “I have things, equipment, devices, skills and next to what you can do they mean nothing. All this stuff to mold you, train you into what you already are with the right touch. To make you what you least want to be, owned by the wrong man.”<br/><br/>“Yet here you are laying against me,” His voice deepened, softened in a different way, “ Today I was worried about you. I gave you to Miss Rogers because I didn‘t want another man to have you. I’ve never felt like that.  However you do it, you do it with nothing at all.”<br/><br/>“I like everything about you...and more,” his lips pressed to her as he gave her a long tender kiss.
