Casey smiled sadly "I'll just go home for awhile. My dad oughta be able to take care of me and keep boys away. Just... come home soon, ok? I'll worry about you just as you'll worry about me... and I'm the one that'll be in a safe enviroment. Stay safe... take care of your sister" she reached up and ran her fingers through his hair. "Don't worry about me... ok?" she asked, her voice breaking at the very end.

Theo looked down at her sadly, then kissed her deeply as he voice broke. He couldn't stand seeing her this way.

Casey responded to his kiss immidiately, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling herself upward. She kissed him as thought she was never going to kiss him again, and this was the last time that she'd see him. She poured her entire heart and soul into the kiss, a few tears streaming down her cheeks as the kiss went on. After a few minutes she pulled back slightly, a little breathless. "If you don't either come back or contact me within a month, I'm coming after you, alright? You find a way to keep me updated on what's happening. It'll be easier to stay home and away from danger if I know that you're alright. Stay away for as long as you need if you have to, but you talk to me. Somehow, someway. Talk to me" she demanded, staring him straight in the eyes.

Theo kissed her back just as passionately. When she pulled back to breathe, he did not let go of her. "I promise....I will not even be gone that long."

Cssey placed her hands behind his head and pulled him back for another kiss. Slowly her hands traveled down until they rested in between them, they were so closer that she could feel both of their heartbeats at the same time.

Theo kissed her lovingly, trying to delay the fact that he had to leave her here. He loved the feel of his heartbeat with hers, he'd miss that sound. His hands moved around her tighter, trying to keep her there.

Casey, despite her sadness, smiled against his kiss. She slipped her tongue out and licked his lips. Aside from that night... and the waterfall, this would probably be her last kiss with him before he left. She definately wasn't going to let him leave before the morning. So, she wanted to make the most out of every moment of her time with him. Her heart hurt, knowing that this time tomorrow, he'd probably be gone. But his tight hold on her made her feel that everything was alright. it soothed her aching heart somewhat.

Theo did smile against her mouth, parting his lips a little as she licked them. His own tongue lingered just behind them, waiting for hers. He loved the fact that this was her reaction...though hated it as well. The fact that she loved him so much...and that it pained her the same.

Casey slipped her tongue in as soon as his lips parted enough to allow passage. She licked his tongue teasingly and then retreated. She enjoyed his reactions to her teasing, it almost made her forget the pain.

Theo seemed to whine slightly when she teased him, his tongue followed hers back into her mouth. He pulled her closer to him, as if she was trying to glue her to himself.

Casey smiled at Theo's whine and her tongue battled his for dominance. Her hands moved away from his chest and explored his wonderly sexy shoulder and arm muscles, memorizing their touch before moving to his back and his sides. Her touch was feather light and she explored every inch of his upper body. When he left, she wanted to remember what he felt like... she wanted to compare that to when she would touch him again when he came back home.

Theo couldn't help but be turned on by her hands moving all over his upper body. He grinned and kissed her deeper, loving the way she touched him. Though, he doubted she was trying to turn him on. A low groan came from his lips as she went. "Casey....that feels too good..."

Casey rose to the balls of her feet, grazed her lips along his light stuble and nipped his earlobe "good... then it'll be a pleasent experience for both of us" she whispered, nipping and licking his ear a bit more purposefully keeping her breathing light and even, to give Theo the best possible sensation when she exhaled.

All of Theo's muscles tightened, then relaxed dramatically, pulling her ever closer to him. A small whine mixed with a groan.

Casey giggled, completely pleased with his reaction. She moved her lips lower to his neck. She started the process over again when she reached his adam's apple. She nipped a little, licked a little, and sucked a little. She moved her feather-light touch from his hip up to rest on his biceps. They were her favorite part. Her thumbs gently moved in circles, massaging his biceps lightly.

Theo couldn't help but moan at her temptatious actions. "Casey..." He moaned her name softly, his hands moving to her hips, his eyes closed as she did that. "Are you trying....to turn me on so much that I can't resist you anymore?"

Casey smiled and returned her lips to his for a moment "I just... want you to know just how much I'll miss you. I want something to remember at night when I can't sleep because you're not home. No matter how short it will be, it will feel like an eternity to me. I need something to help me remember... and now... you having something too. Isn't it a pleasent memory?" she teased, a bright smile on her face.

Theo kissed her back, loving the way she described how much this meant to her, but also felt bad because he had to leave her. His hand went to her cheek, stroking it slightly. "It is much more than pleasant."

Casey closed her eyes and leaned into his touch "when are you leaving?" she asked in a whisper. How much time did she have with him? will he be leaving in the morning? In a week? As much as she hated knowing, she needed to know to prepare herself.

Theo sighed softly and looked at her, as if trying to decide. "I don't know...a day wouldn't be long enough....but a week might be too long..."

Casey sighed, moved closer to Theo, and rested her head on his chest. "How about three days?" she suggested. "That ought to give you plenty of time to prepare" she said softly, wrapping her arms around his middle.

Theo smiled softly, wrapping his arms around her and holding her to him. "As long as you're ok with three days."

Casey nuzzled her face into his chest "I'm not ok with you leaving at all... but I know you have to go. In all honesty... I almost want you to leave in the morning... so that I won't be counting down the days until you leave. I think the three days is good, though, it's short, yet long enough for you to get ready" she whispered, her voice cracking a few times.

Theo gently kissed her head. "I don't think I want to leave you behind now.....what do you think? Would you like to meet my family?"

Casey smiled a little "I thought you didn't want me to come" she pointed out "Either way, I'd love to meet your family. You met mine, it's only fair that I meet yours"
