Freedom

Nala and Torik are finally doing what they have been dreaming about, and know one is going to stop them from committing this sin. The freedom of the night was upon them.
“Nala, your sure this is what you want,” Troik asks as he is taking off his shirt.
Nala looks back at the lit house and says, “Yes, we have to do this” and looks back at Troik.
“I can’t live this way any more Torik,” she takes off her clothes and walks toward Torik. Their naked bodies have a strange glow in the moonlight. Torik had never seen Nala completely naked before.
“Come her Nala let me find yours first.” She walks over to Torik and stands in front of him. Nala could feel the humidity from the rainfall earlier and at the same time the night had a cool breeze. The combination of the two elements was almost confusing to her skin.
Torik kneels down in front of her at looks up into her eyes, “I am going to be moving my hands up your legs slowly, so don’t move.”
Torik runs his calloused hands up and down her smooth thighs searching and feeling for anything strange.” He finds the smooth bump and runs his fingers over it. He can see Nala has a reaction to his touch, “Does this cause you pain when I do this” he says, circling the little button with is thumb. “No, but it is a strange sensation.” Without a word she did the same as Torik. Nala ran her fingers over his muscular legs trying to find the same bump. Nala takes longer than her companion did; his body is bigger. Just when she was getting frustrated at how long it was taking her she saw his reaction and knew that she found his. “I think you found it,” as he reacts to her touch. Torik was disappointed that she finally found it he could have been her all night.

Nala sits down by the shore of the river. Torik is getting ready. Nala watches the moonlight dance on the still water. She is trying to remember the last time she felt so free, and she can’t. She knows that after tonight everything is going to change for better or worse. She knows that no matter what she will never be the same woman.
Torik can tell that she is thinking and wonders about what. He wants to ask but is almost afraid to. He doesn’t want to force her, but at the same time he wants her to do this with all of her heart.
“Do you remember when we were children and played in this river,” Torik asks as he sits next to her. “Yes, it was a very long time ago. Things were simple, before we knew anything. Before we knew who we were. I love you and I want to be with you. I’m not changing my mind, but I just want to remember this moment. This is the first time I have made a decision on my own. I just don’t want to take anything for granted.” Torik understands that and waits patiently beside her.
Nala gets up and Torik walks right behind her. She steps in the water one foot at a time and feels the warmth of the water on her skin. She can now remember the last time she felt like this and it was with Torik. He comes up behind her and holds her tightly, “We are almost there just a little further and it will be over with and we will be together.”
“When we cross the shore we will have about five minutes to remove the tracking devices in our legs. It will be painful, but since we know where they are it can be done fast.” Torik walks in the water and holds on to Nala hands. “Then we will be free.”
Freedom, Nala thought. She can’t believe this is going to happen. “You do know how to run that boat,” she asks in a playful manner.
