nothing but the night quite and the sound of the crackling fire. It was cool to be able to sit around a fire where everyone didn’t feel like they had to talk all the time. There was no need to fill the air with mindless conversation. She could hear the bullfrogs and the crickets singing their hearts out as the night settled in.
     
    Sara looked around the circle of chairs at each of the couples and then eventually made eye contact with Alex sitting next to her, who happened to be looking right at her.
     
    “I must say, Miss Sara, that the firelight on your face is quite sexy.” Alex said softly, as he leaned over to reach up and brush a strand of hair away from her face. His hand lingered as he stroked her hair, bringing his hand underneath the back of her hair and massaging her neck.
     
    Her heart jumped as his touch electrified her, making her want to jump him right there by the fire. She smiled and blushed and lowered her eyes, feeling the butterflies as Alex began to pull her softly towards him as he leaned his face just inches away from hers, head tilted as if to prepare himself to kiss her.
     
    He stopped himself short and whispered softly to her, “I’m going to kiss you Miss Sara.” He didn’t ask her this time. He just stated his intentions. As he gently ran his fingers through her hair, he pulled her into his kiss, pressing gently but firmly his lips against hers. The hair on her body stood at attention as the power of his soft lips made her weak and short of breath. After a few seconds he pulled away and looked at her face. Then returned with a second kiss that sent lightning bolts through Sara’s body.
     
    As his tongue slowly and softly pushed its way into her mouth, she could feel the emotions welling up inside her as she held her breath. Tasting his mouth on hers, she was transported into space, her eyes closed as she saw the fireworks in her head.
     
    As he pulled away, he leaned back in his chair and took her hand in his. He leaned back his head and closed his eyes with a satisfied grin on his face, as if he was lucky he didn’t get slapped.
     
    Sara sat there stunned. She wasn’t prepared for him to kiss her.
     
    Sara slowly leaned back in her chair and leaned her head back, looking up at the stars through the leaves in the trees. Her body was all tingly and his hand felt warm. She smiled as she kept feeling his lips on hers, and wondered where he had been all her life. There had been so many times in the past where she never really liked the man who kissed her because they didn’t know how she liked to be kissed. For some reason, he knew EXACTLY how to do it, and didn’t have to be taught!
     
    Satisfied, she knew this was going to be the start of something magical. She was falling for Alex already and this was just their first date.
     
    Over the next several months, there were many more barbeques and many more dates. Each one of them becoming more and more intense as they fell head over heels for each other.
     
    In the beginning, Sara made it quite clear that she was not looking for a short term relationship, or a live-in boyfriend. She also made sure he understood that even though they may get frisky while dating, that he could not plan on having intercourse with her. She was saving that for her husband, whoever that may be.
     
    Alex respected her wishes and never tried to push her into intercourse, although there had been times when Sara herself wanted to throw her own values out the window due to wanting Alex to take her and fuck her brains out. But she knew that if she did that now, she may actually lose him because he wouldn’t respect her anymore.
     
    She never once mentioned marriage. In her past relationships, she always made sure that the guy knew up front that she wanted to be married. She figured men would appreciate her honesty and respect her for it. That never turned out to be the case. So this time she did it differently. She allowed him to take the lead. And did he
