lazily played in her hair. 
His hands soon took liberties and started to roam. The couple tried to police
themselves, being in a public park, but it was getting harder to do. The
foreplay aroused them more than they anticipated. 
    Each touch left Raven dizzy. The little
hairs stood on the nape of her neck, and each time he leaned in to kiss her she
melted just a little more. Every time they were together, flirting, fooling
around, and snuggling close, she thought about what came next. They hadn’t gone
‘there’ yet. She hoped to wait a little longer, but it was getting more
difficult to hold back.  
    Every single time he kissed her, Raven
knew she’d be giving in sooner than she planned. She reeled herself back in.
Confronting the reality of her life and him not knowing she was a witch, she forced
herself to wait. It’s not that she didn’t want to have sex with him, but she
knew that once she did her emotions would be out of control. It would
impossible to make a rational decision if she got intimate.
    Raven let her fingers run over the bulge
of Derek’s bicep. His skin was warm from the sun. She loved the curve of his
arm. The urge to touch him, feel him, and be with him was overwhelming. She
drew her fingers across his hard, muscled chest. She sighed. This wasn’t going
to be easy.
    Derek was feeling it too. Their bodies
were on fire together, a spark waiting to ignite. The hunger was intense. There
was only one thing left on Derek’s mind.
    “Come back to my place.” It was more of a
statement than a question, but he already knew the answer. They were both ready
for more.
    Raven nodded quietly and leaned in for
another kiss. The tender intimacy bathed her in sexual awakenings. His lips
were soft. She was thirsty for a taste of him, and as their mouths lingered
together, her entire body filled with electricity.
    Gathering their belongings, they strolled
back to the car hand in hand. Derek packed the blanket and basket into the
trunk of the car. Before opening the car door, he needed another taste of
Raven. He pressed her to the curved outline of the vehicle, his body strong
against her own, and lowered his mouth to hers.
    “You are delicious,” his voice was low
and textured with gravel. His mouth was hungry this time, wanting more. Passion
ran between them, sparks flying, chemistry burning, and as his tongue pressed
into her mouth, Raven let out a tiny sigh.
    After the sigh, Raven was on the verge of
a whimper, with the overwhelming need to strip off Derek’s clothes and touch
every last inch of his body. She couldn’t wait anymore. She had to feel him, be
with him, share a moment.
    They remained in an embrace, locking
lips. Derek pulled her in tighter. She would have happily stayed right there
all night long, but in the privacy of his home they could share even more
intimacy. Slowly they pulled themselves apart and Derek opened Raven’s door. 
    Derek walked to the other side of the
car. His tall frame, enhanced by broad shoulders and a handsome face, left her
feeling all gooey inside, like melting taffy. She felt like a schoolgirl, giddy
with lust.
    He wore his brown hair parted to the side
and cropped short. Clean and neat, he always looked well put together. While
most times he was clear of stubble, on the days he let a bit come in, it only
enhanced his strong jawline in the perfect shade of sexy.
    They were quiet as they drove, both lost
in their own thoughts. Raven was nervous though excited, but she couldn’t help
thinking of Ziara’s frustration with her. She could almost hear her voice.
“Miko is a great guy.  He really likes you. All it would take is a simple love
casting, and you would be ready for Season of the Witch.”
    Only Raven didn’t want Miko. She didn’t
want a potion made in a cauldron and cast on her. That took the romance out of
it. She wanted to feel real love, the kind that starts in the body and mind.
She wanted to choose love.  Ziara just didn’t get that, she always
