tasted like dark chocolate. She could also taste the smoothness of a rum and chocolate cream with some kind fruit blended into it. It was sinfully decadent!
    “Marcus, this is the best chocolate cake I have ever had. Maybe it tastes better because my eyes are close d and my sense of taste is heightened. What do you think?” she asked savouring the flavour as it exploded on her tongue.
    Natasha opened her eyes then to see that Marcus’ face was less than a foot away from hers.
    “I think that this one is my favourite!” he said simply.
    The smouldering expression in his eyes was her undoing as wordlessly, he traced his thumb over her top lip as though he was wiping away the remaining crumbs. Then tangling his fingers into her silken tresses he leaned forward, closing the space that separated their mouths and kissed her softly and lingeringly. The electric sensations at that slight contact spread out across her face and she could feel the sensations in her palms and even below the soles of her feet. Her eyes widened in amazement and he paused and looked into her eyes as if asking her permission to continue without moving an inch. Her whimper of pleasure was enough for him and before she could take her next breath he claimed her mouth once again, this time sweeping past her open lips to sample and taste her in a way she could never have imagined possible. Over and over Marcus twirled his tongue around hers groaning as he licked away the remaining chocolate and finding out that he wanted more, so much more.
    He was in trouble!
    Steeling himself within, he gently nipped her lower lip before pulling away reluctantly and allowed his hands to fall to the blanket never breaking his gaze from hers. Natasha was surprised and overwhelmed by the rush of sensations that moved from her lips across her cheeks and ears and the all emotions that one kiss evoked. It seemed like time had stopped and neither of them said anything for a few moments. All that was audible was the sound of the wind and the sound of them both trying to get their breathing under control. Finally, Marcus broke the silence.
    “I wish that I could tell you that I was so rry for doing that, but I’m not,” he said matter of factly. “I’m going to say this again, and I don’t want you to respond right now, but I want to see you again before you leave, and even when you do leave, I want to stay in contact with you. I want to know who you are and why you are causing me to act so irrationally. I want to know why I just met you but brought you somewhere that I have never even brought my other friends or even the guys you met down at the beach.  I want to know why when I look at you I just want to discover everything there is to know about you,” he admitted.
    Natasha’s eyes grew wide as she absorbed what Marcus was saying because she felt exactly the same way about him. No one had ever even said words like that to her, nor had a nyone ever kissed her like that. In fact, no one had ever kissed her period! He was her first and that kiss surpassed all of her wildest expectations.
    “Don’t say anything; I just want to enjoy the moment! We can finish up the dessert and just enjoy the view. Then I promise I will take you home. Okay?” said Marcus.
    Natasha managed to mumble an okay in response and they divided up the dessert and leaned back against the trunk of the tree to enjoy them quietly. After that, they talked and joked with each other lightly and neither brought up the topic of their kiss again, at least not that day.

    T he incessant ringing of a cell-phone drew Marcus back to the present from his thoughts. Looking at the time, he could not believe that he was still sitting in his car and an entire hour had passed since he began thinking about how he and Natasha first met. That day was one of the best days of his life and he was not surprised that he could remember the details so vividly.
    Hurriedly he
