He fixed us a drink, although I just sipped a little of mine. I wanted to keep a clear head. Finally he approached me and took me into his arms and st...arted kissing my neck. I think it would have been uncomfortable if he started kissing my face or mouth, and I'm sure he knew this. We started fumbling with each other's shirts, and once they were off he led me into his bedroom. He helped me off with my jeans.He said "Sit back and get comfortable" as he moved to the foot of the bed. I relaxed and. I slowly reached out my hand and touched my old face, startled by thedry roughness of my old weathered skin and graying beard. I pulled myhand away shaking as I did so. I closed my eyes to steel myself andreached under my vest to untie my money bag. Then on a whim I unclaspedmy badge that showed I'd been a Marshall. I turned away, but turned backonce again and fumbled with my old shirt. I pulled out the handkerchiefof the woman that had been raped. I suddenly felt very frail as I ran myfingers. ....... A soft breeze caresses our damp, naked flesh and the sound of the waterfall comes back to us.......Your head is thrown back against the rock, eyes closed in absolute bliss, a crimson stain flushing your cheeks, the tall tale colour of a woman well satisfied and coming down from a convulsive release.I lean my forehead against yours"Hayley, you ok?" Your concern touches me deeply..........."Never been better" you sigh languidly and place a warm kiss against my damp throat." I was rough. Brannir nodded and then fell into the water, as the unseen forces holding him aloft let him loose. He pulled his short knife from its scabbard, and began to cut the legs from his pants, a dicey endeavor when in the water, but he managed, as he was a good swimmer, and he was also again desperate to get out of the chilling ocean.He had good, nimble hands, used to working knots in cold air. The water complicated his efforts, but he managed to have the board lashed together in just a few short.
