Casey squeaked in surprised when Theo wrapped his tongue around hers, but soon the hand that was on his heart went behind his neck so she could pull him even closer. She was officially addicted to his taste and presence, he took her breath away and banished all rational thought from existance, and she loved every minute of it. She loved how he so easily grabbed control of her. It scared her and excited her at the same time.

After what seemed like an eternity, yet was surely only a minute or so, Casey became all to aware of the need to breathe so she gently pushed Theo back until he allowed her the ability to breathe "as much as I love you... I need to breathe" she said, mindly staring back at him, half processing that the sun was starting to set. As soon as it processed, though, she sat up, nearly knocking into Theo as she did so "the sun's going down" she said with alarm. It was so easy to lose track of time with him, especially when he had such an intoxicating control over her.

Casey froze when she heard him mention riding on his back. She looked at the sun again, and then observed their surroundings. It was the only way. She closed her eyes and nodded "ok. I can deal with it. But only because it's you. I will not let anyone else run with me on their back" she told him, opening her eyes and giving him a smile.

Casey sighed and climbed onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck, preparing for the jolt forward. She kissed the base of his neck "don't let me down, love" she told him before closing her eyes, preparing for the run.

Casey sighed "not if you're running, so sit still for a minute" she responded as she grabbed the shirt, putting it back on him "such a shame..." she muttered, fully aware that Theo could hear her. Once she was done she let her hands slide, almost teasingly, from his abs, up his sides, to his spine, to his shoulder blades, and back around his neck. He was so perfectly chisled, and she loved it. "I think my favorite part, really... is I'm the only one that gets to see this" she whispered into his ear, licking it for good measure.

Casey smiled at the effect that she had on him "well, we're going there later anyway, just this way, you won't have my parents bursting in when they finally track me down. So, go, mush or something. The sooner we get there, the sooner we talk to them and get back to the cabin" she said with a wink. "Don't worry, I'll be good" she chuckled.

Casey didn't miss the grin, but before she could comment on it or his comment, he'd started to run. She immidiately closed her eyes and buried her face into his back to block the look of the trees going fast. It's alright Casey, just try and get in tune with how he runs, feel how his... amazing... wonderful... glorious... muscles move beneath you, relax, she thought to herself, trying to follow her own advice. She just sat there, feeling the movement of Theo's muscles, waiting for him to stop moving.

Casey looked around and spotted the path that she took "see that path right there? It literally leads to my back door" she told him, pointing to the path that she took to get to the lake. "It took me about 5 minutes to walk it" she added before looking up at the sky to check the light. It's going to be close, but it'll be fine, she thought to herself before resting her cheek against his back. She smiled I like this... she mused.

Casey smiled, but didn't move her head "either is fine, running would get us their faster, and I'm getting used to you running" she answered softly. She almost felt like she could fall asleep, she was so relaxed.

Theo grinned and bounced her slightly. "Don't be falling asleep now or I'll make you walk. I don't wanna be left alone with your parents." He started walking for a moment, giving her a chance to say something.

Casey jerked and screamed a bit as she scrambled to get a good hold on Theo when she started to bounce. After a few moments she realised that Theo had bounced her, she playfully hit his back and relaxed against it again "jerk. Don't scare me like that. Besides, once we get there, I will be fully awake, trust me on that one. I think it's better for me to sleep when I'm on your back... that way I don't know all the crazy stuff you do when you run" she told him, nuzzling her face into his back.

Theo laughed when she called him a jerk. He wasn't going to drop her. "Sure, sure. Go ahead and sleep." He would walk so she could sleep longer. They'd get there before dark anyway.

As much as Casey wanted to sleep, she couldn't. She was nervous about telling her parents about Theo. She was so exhausted from the day, yet her mind was wide awake. I hate it when this happens, she thought. She went over the day's events in her mind, all the screeching and hollering, the door being broken down, Theo's incredibly sexy self threatening her life, his kind acts... those rippling muscles when he worked on the door... those breathtaking kisses. The voice... the stupid voice that wouldn't shut up "you know... earlier today I thought I was crazy. When I was screeching and hollering it was because some crazy voice was telling me I loved you" she muttered.

Theo thought for a moment that she'd fallen asleep. He smiled to himself and just carried her down the path until she spoke. He raised an eyebrow. "Um...really now...a voice. Maybe it was your heart."

Casey chuckled at that "no... that was definately a voice. I heard it as clearly as I hear you now. It didn't shut up until I admitted it. I forgive it, because it was probably what got me to realize it. But a voice it was, nonetheless. So, now you know. You just made out with a crazy girl" she responded. She loved how his voice sounded with her ear against his back.

Theo just chuckled softly. "The crazy ones are always the best."

Casey smiled and kissed his neck "too bad for you, then, because the voice left. By the way, that's my house up there, prepare for battle" she said with a slight chuckle. "That said, you should probably put me down, if they see me coming like this, they'll think I was hurt or something" she added.
