I wish you were here."<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><br/>GARDEN<br/><br/>No response came - it felt like Elaine was completely busy with something else, or: with<em>somebody</em>else. Her presence was glowing happily in the matrix of space and time, pulsating in the excitement of new sort of adventures...<br/><br/>While their one was much more quiet and slow, patient, to say so, as Zara let herself being guided to the lake and folder her arm into what seemed to be his "arm" now, carefully watching his way, searching for any object that might hurt him.<br/>"It's a beautiful place.. No wonder you like it so much..." She turned her face to see his, her heart sinking with bittersweet feelings as she was looking at this dangerous yet so vulnerable being of Mother Nature.<br/>Insecurely her palm settled on his limb and a few fingertips began to caress it while a strange sensation started to crawl upper from the center of her body, brushing her nipples like a soft breeze, teasing them very, very gently... She blushed a little - it was still so unbelievable a creature like Blaine could raise such thoughts and feelings from her...<br/>
