Alison leaned close to the steering wheel as she peered through the darkness as best she could at the winding country road. The assailing raindrops made a thick watery coating.  The wipers of her Mini Cooper struggled to remove as much as possible before the windshield was once again hazy with water.  She heaved a sigh and rotated her shoulders and neck as the compact car pushed its way through surface water that threatened to become too dense to maneuver through safely.  She tried to remember if it was better to drive slow or fast through deep water to avoid stalling out.  She hoped it was slow, since her car was fighting her control even at this speed.  Any speed faster and she was sure she would end up in a ditch or hugging a tree.She wanted to consult the map that dominated the passenger’s seat next to her, but stopping in such a high level of water was risky and trying to read it while maneuvering through a torrential rainfall in the pitch

Alison sat on the bottom step of the stairway while she tried to make sense out of what just happened. Her body was still calming down from the overwhelming sensation of ecstasy that consumed it during the magical kiss she’d just experienced. She’d read about women responded to kisses in such a way. She’d thought it was purely fiction.  Until now.Part of her wanted to rush after Nick and throw herself into his arms again so that she could re-experience that wonderful sensation, while another part of her wanted to run for safety.  Kisses and responses of that nature between perfect strangers couldn’t be right. Her mind raced as she remembered the trip she took to New Orleans during Marti Gras with a few friends a year earlier.  They thought it would be a blast to go visit a local psychic. The woman had to be the scariest person on the planet; not only in the way she dressed or decorated her place, but by the things she said.

Wilma was already gone when Alison descended the stairs the following morning. Nick was nowhere to be seen, which both annoyed and pleased her.  She didn’t like the odd, uncomfortable pull that she felt when she was around him, so she was glad not to run into him.  Yet, she hadn’t been able to stop thinking about that sensational kiss and wouldn’t have minded kissing again to see if her reaction was a fluke or if she’s practically swoon in his arms once more.  She smoothed her wavy blonde hair over her shoulders and adjusted the headband she’d positioned to hold it out of her face. She’d taken great pains in dressing. The tan linen pants and pale blue silk shirt she wore were practically new.  She remembered that Nick agreed with Arthur about the way powder blue brought out the color of her rich blue eyes, so she made sure to wear the color again. With a sigh of disappointment, she looked in the direction of the gu

Although he kept a close eye on her, Nick was careful to avoid being around Alison for any length of time.  He was furious with himself for the way he behaved the night before. He’d always exercised such control over his emotions and urges.  What was it about her that unhinged him in such a shocking way?  If either Elsie or Beth were alive, they’d take a switch to him; no matter what his age or size.He felt the connection the minute he saw her standing in the rain like a drowned creature.  The pheromones purged from her in such a powerful way, he was amazed she could stay so aloof.  It wasn’t until he wrapped her in his arms and held her close enough to detect her virgin scent that he realized she was oblivious and ignorant to their connection.  She may sense the attraction, like any woman would with a man, but she wouldn’t feel the true impact of their connection until she’d opened her kundalini by making love.&nbs

Alison was both nervous and excited as she finished her breakfast cereal.  She and Vanessa rose early so that they would have time to explore the house and still take a late afternoon nap to assure they were fresh for their date with Martin at the county fair.  Both girls loved fun events such as fairs and carnivals.  Even though they hadn’t actually agreed to go, they knew they wouldn’t have turned down the offer.“Are you ready?” Vanessa asked as she entered the kitchen.  “I’m so excited about exploring this place. I hope we can manage it all before I have to leave.”“It isn’t that big,” Alison said.Her friend looked at her and grinned, “It beats the heck out of our tiny two-bedroom apartment in Atlanta.”Alison smiled.  Anything would be larger than their little five-hundred square foot apartment that was divided into such small rooms that they were lucky
