11 The Heat of the Night

We must have talked until almost midnight, by then the fire had died and everybody was getting pretty sleepy, terry and I bid our goodbyes and staggered off to the restroom before heading to our site. The temperature was probably around 50 but it didn't seem to bother me as much (maybe it was the beer) Terry and I undressed in front of each other without a word like some married couple and crawled into the sleeping bag, his arms pulling me close as his face and lips nuzzled the back of my neck. "How's my sweet baby?" "She's fine," "something's been on your mind all day, mind telling me what?" I remained silent, he then began to gently kiss the back of my neck and lick my ear with his tongue. "Krin…C'mon now, what is it?" "I don't know, I muttered, I feel like I'm lying to myself and my parents, I tell myself I'm not having s*x but we're sleeping together, I can't really look mom and Dad in the face anymore and tell them I'm not having s*x," "We're not, just sleeping together to try and stay warm" commented Terry.

"I know that, but we're still sleeping together, just because we're not doing it doesn't matter, it still seems wrong." "Want to go back to sleeping in your own tent?" I said nothing for a moment, "No, that wouldn't solve anything." "Well then…Do you want to have s*x?" I started to sob, "Yes I would, I think about it all the time," I rolled over and embraced him pressing my lips to his mouth in a passionate kiss. "I want to make you happy I love you so much but in the end, I just can't." Terry gently put a finger to my lips, "shush Krin, everything's cool, that's the problem with chicks, they think they have to put out to make their guy happy, that's just not true baby, I love being around you, I love you simply for who you are, I respect you, listen, no blame no shame, I'm comfortable with it, are you?" I cuddled closer "I-I-I d-don't know," I sniffled some more, "I love you so much," I then pulled his lips to mine and kissed him, my tongue pushing into his mouth seeking his tongue. Our passion and intensity increased as we attempted to prove to the other our love.

Again Terry's fingers never went below my waist, Marla was right, he was truly a catch and I never wanted to let him go. Later, as we lay there I asked him, " What were you and Marla talking about?" Terry chuckled and said, "She asked me if we were sleeping together," "What did you tell her?" "No" "What did she say?" "She just gave me a funny look and dropped it." Terry then whispered in my ear as I slowly dropped off to sleep, "Krin, you're a very special girl, I'm so lucky to have you, you mean everything to me…Krin, babe, I love you so much."

When I awoke the light had brightened the inside of the tent to the point where you could see each other clearly, Terry was on his side facing the other way, somehow I must have pulled my shirt off as I was now topless, Terry also had no shirt on, slowly I pressed myself close to his back my boobs pushing up against his back. I then heard a voice mumble, "If they want attention, they'll have to wait, I've got to pee like a Russian Race horse but I can't force myself to get out of this warm bed." I giggled then said, "It's too light out to just step outside the tent, someone might see you better get moving boy, I'll be here to warm you up again when you get back." Making exaggerated groaning noises he sat up put on his shirt and jacket then unzipped the tent, shaking droplets of moisture down on me slipped outside letting a cold blast of air rush in.

A few minutes later I heard footsteps rushing towards the tent as he quickly crawled back inside, throwing off his jacket and moc's burrowing back under the top sleeping bag. I squealed as his cold body pressed against mine but his warmth returned as we cuddled and embraced, "Babe, I always want you to feel perfectly comfortable around me, I'll never do anything you're not sure about, you've made promises to yourself I want you to be able to keep them, I've seen mistakes other guys have made with girls, I don't want to repeat them , you're a special lady Krin, I love you so much baby." he then gently kissed my lips and rested his head against mine. We must have fallen asleep again, Terry woke first this time, "s**t, We'll miss our horseback reservation, let's get rolling baby!"
