"I understand" he said , but I'm not here to play you, and none of the others will play you now either. Unless they want to deal with me. They already know that. It came up in the locker room this morning". He leaned down and kissed her again , this time gently." You keep saying that I am acting like we are a couple, there is a reason for that. I want us to be. Do you?" he picked the girl up in his arms and turned her to face him so her thigh straddled his torso and she was face to face with him while she sat in his lap. e held her securely but loosely so they could look in each others eyes. "I love your body, you are beautiful, but I want more. I want whats inside too. I know that will take time, but if I can't have it eventually, then I'll take you home now, and let you go on your way. I want to love you, not just make love to you. I'm not there yet, but I think I could be." He leaned down and kissed her softly then returned his eyes to hers. It was a tender moment. The sound of the waves, and sea birds in the background only adding to the intimacy. He ran his fingers through her thick curls, his eyes looking deep into hers with adoration.
