After waiting patiently for quietness, an electric excitement surged through Bastion’s heart. His breathing quickened with anticipation, and suddenly, his eyelids popped open. He tried to speak, but his lips barely parted—he felt pinned in place, as if gravity itself had doubled just for him. Helpless, he lay captive, straining to catch every sound, until the mysterious young woman returned. His mind teemed with questions: Who was she, truly? Did she realize that, even with his eyes closed, he’

    He began to smile as he watched her face in fascination. Autumn could feel his eyes on her, but she gazed up at the silver ribbons of moonlight that reflected in this most wondrous part of the garden.Bastion sat there watching her sway from side to side like a beautiful midnight butterfly. Her voice and dance mesmerized him. Her hair twirled, swirled, spinning in the open air under the colorful lights. His feelings stirred in him as if she were like a sprite that came from out of nowhere and would vanish at any moment. It was strange; the effect she had on his body was ever stronger. All his senses focused on the sight of her and the high, sweet sound of her ability to sing.There was no music that Bastion could hear, only the sound of her graceful leaps in harmony with the tune she sang. His thoughts drifted as she glided through the night air like a gentle butterfly. The strength of his reaction to her alarmed and electrified him. Especially when she took flight, gracefully and eff

  • Come Be With Me, The End Is Here   47. Holy Grounds

    Autumn took hold of Bastion's hand, pulling him into the colorful bamboo trees with her. They had walked miles away from their shelter that evening. The colorful bamboo trees seemed to form a tall gate, covering a sacred place in this astonishing garden-like park. The colorful trees were bound together with strong vines, making the bamboo look like a sturdy wall! You could clearly feel it was a place protected from harm, preventing any evil forces from entering. But Bastion and Autumn were easily able to slide in between the trees. Immediately when they entered, their eyes widened! They could see this place was sacred! There were beautiful, bright colors like lights reflecting off the trees all around them."Wow! This is gorgeous!" Autumn says aloud, truly amazed."Shhh...quiet!" Bastion whispers, all nervous, looking around with his eyes as his feet freeze in place.“This is holy ground we are standing on.” Autumn snickers at Bastion's large, expressive eyes, filled with fear. But

  • Come Be With Me, The End Is Here   46. Attraction, Urges & Desire

    For weeks now, Bastion and Autumn have stayed busy planting and harvesting in this beautiful garden. It was time to begin preparing for the cool rainy season ahead. They would get up early and sometimes be away from the shelter all day, working. For the most part, they were happy together, with neither the guidance nor the restrictions of society. There were emotional and physical changes that were clearly emerging as they reached young adulthood and fell in love. The experience was a little stressful for them because of their lack of true experience in human sexuality. Bastion wondered how he should proceed to offer her true love? And when should it take place? Of course, he wanted things to happen naturally, but they were still earning so much more from one another with so much more to discover. They spent their evenings after a long day of work by the refreshing waterfall. It felt like their own little oasis. Swimming, relaxing, and enjoying warm evenings talking about all sorts o

  • Come Be With Me, The End Is Here   45. Only Two Humans

    The next morning, for the first time, Autumn awakened first! Daylight hadn't quite broken through the clouds above. She hadn't slept this peacefully in months. Months before she departed on the ship with her aunt and Bastion, rest didn't come easily, knowing she would have to leave her family. Then, after surviving the end of all ends, she discovers her dear aunt didn't make it. Weeks of being hungry and barely eating, sleeping on the bare ground in the same clothes for weeks. Some nights, no rest was found out in the thunder and rain, but most nights, you were smothered in the tropical heat. But since Bastion has brought her to this gorgeous environment, it feels like she is starting a new life—filled with nothing but happiness. 'Happy' isn't even close to the word to describe how she felt.She climbed out of her bed, twisting her hair up into a bun. Autumn looked through the tall gift basket Bastion gave her, filled with lace, silk, and satin robes, and all types of underwear and b

    “Well, the credit goes to my father. He taught my brother and me quite a bit about living outdoors when I was younger. I wish they could be here to see it.” Bastion said sadly.Autumn knew how Bastion felt. “Maybe they're surviving like you. Don't worry, the same way we made it, I'm confident others made it too. We'll meet our families again. I feel that's true."Bastion quickly changed the subject, thinking about the big rock. "Humm...Autumn, now that we have our house, you...Do you feel happier and safer?” "Yes, very happy and safe—thanks to you." She gazed at him, making Bastion give her a sheepish grin."I'm very grateful to you, Bastion, for everything you have done for me. I don't know what I would have done without you."Bastion watched her as she expressed herself. He could only imagine the feel of her slender arms wrapped around him. Those eyes, lips, and her golden skin had him desiring her in ways he never imagined. Autumn came over to him again, this time surprising him w

  • Come Be With Me, The End Is Here   43. Paradise Lost

    After Bastion gave her a tour of only part of the garden-like park, he thought it best to save some other spots for later. The garden was extremely large for just two people. Bastion showed her as much as he could with the little daylight they had left. "I have one place you have to see," Bastion told Autumn, who felt like she was dreaming—being in a place so much like paradise.When they made it to the waterfall, Autumn's eyes widened. "This is beautiful. Can I get in?""Sure, but..." Before Bastion could finish, Autumn was undressing. She dove her naked body into the pool of water that led to the waterfall, the water cooling her skin instantly. Bastion looked away, realizing this girl did not have a shy bone in her body. Most times, her actions seemed so unpredictable to Bastion; he never knew what to expect from Autumn. Bastion sat there trying to resist peeking, but he couldn't—he was drawn to her curvy, naked body. Her lightly toasted complexion was so appealing, so different fro

    At the sound of the deep voice behind her, Autumn squeaked and whipped around, frightened. She'd thought she was alone in the water. "Autumn, don't do it!" She turned to strain her eyes to see who was frantically calling her name. She begins to swim toward the person happily; at first, she think
