Apple Theif

Her past

Growing up in a wealthy family wasn't always a good thing. Being pushed to look and act like the perfect lady especially when you are trying to empress all the wealthy family's with young men your age.

My mother's yelling startles me back to what I was doing

"Kasandra get in here now you should have been up and ready for lessons hours ago"

Walking in to the library I muttered " I'm here mother." As I sat she scolded me " young ladies do not mumble and as I am raising a young lady you will not mumble, and it matters not what your lesson is today you will not speak again unless you are asked to!"

As my mother started the lesson my mind started to drift to tomorrow I was going to get to go with father into the next town to talk to a orchard owner to buy a bunch of apples for the livestock and for my thirteenth birthday. My mother slamming a book down on the table brought me back

"Kasandra are you even listening to me you have to know all this if you ever hope to marry a good man" afraid to speak and earn more scolding I just nodded.

Unlike yesterday I was awake when the sun rose ready to go with my father. Laughing at my eagerness my father loving asked " do you have every thing you need for the trip" I nodded " of course father I was packed yesterday. Can we please leave now please sir"

Father just smiled and motioned for me to head to the carriage.

I fell asleep not long after leaving our home so the ride wasn't as long to me any way. When we arrived at the Orchard the trees where so full of beautiful red apples my mouth was watering just thinking about how tastey they would be. We met with the owner and his son shortly after the meeting stated the owners son asked my father "sir may your daughter come down to the river with me." .......

Father and I took that same trip around my birthday each year and each year I would play with Jacob at the river but this trip the young man was different he was shy he asked father if he cold walk with me to the river father said yes of course as he always did.

As we walked down the path to the river the young man asked " so you are turning 18 this year dose that mean you must marry now" I answered sadly " yes my parents have picked a fine man for me his name is .. is um I'm honestly not sure who he is I've never met him, that's what this grand ball of a party my mother is throwing is."

Jacob looked at me surprised " you are in an arranged marriage you have always talked of falling in love with someone and that's who you'd marry" I laughed "if I had my way that's what I'd do but this has always been my future according to my parents even my father says this is how it must be."

Suddenly Jacob stopped and grabbed my hand he asked tentatively "may I kiss you" I stared at him in shock that he would ask such a thing and my mother's words echoed in my head until you are married you may not let a man touch you. But I nodded anyway." Jacob pulled me in close and kissed me at first very lightly but after a second he deepened the kiss pushing his tongue against my lips I parted them and our tonges danced as he wrapped his arms tighter around me. My hands went to his hair we didn't part until we were both panting for breath, Jacob spoke

" Kasandra I do belive after all these years I have fallen in love with you I know you are promised to someone else but would you spend this afternoon with me down by the river"

I nodded with out hesitation because what harm could come of it. As the afternoon wore on it got warmer and warmer I wore so many layers that I decided to walk in the water to cool off. As I walked into the river I slipped on a rock and went splashing down into a rather deep pool Jacob came to my rescue and pulled me out but not before I was completely soaked.

The wet layers of my dress were very heavy so I walked around where Jacob couldn't see me and took several layers off where I was only In my panties and my underdress I layer the rest of my clothes on limbs to hopefully dry as I came back around the bushes Jacob was there he turned and looked no he began to stare with a look as I'd never seen before a look of pure want he walked right up to me and put his arms around me "Kasandra I love you and I hope you love me to with ..with you permission I would like to touch you and show you how much I love you"

I couldn't speak I did love Jacob but I was engaged but I'd never see Jacob again after today he touched my chin and pulled my face to where I was looking at him " you don't have to if you don't want to" I shook my head "no Jacob I want to I'm just scared" he put is forehead against mine and let out a held breath " you have nothing to be scared of with me that much I promise" pulling me over to where I had taken my dress off he pulled his jacket off and layer it on the ground "sit please" I did as asked of me and sat on his jacket he sat beside me and began to kiss me with so much love and passion that it made my heart break knowing today would be the last time I'd see him so with that thought I put every ounce of feeling in to kissing him back.

He pushed me back onto my back and ran his hands up my thigh it felt so amazing, he pulled away and asked softly " are you sure you want this if not I'll stop now.." I put my lips to his to silence him and nodded my head. We made love on that river bank that evening thinking nothing of the consequences.
