Theo did look at her when she did that, when he saw her face, his breath caught. Which sort of freaked him out at first, but he realized what it was from. She was so close and touching his cheek like that...he didn't really know what to do. He knew what he wanted to do, but she'd be angry with him if he did. He just stared at her for a moment, trying to come up with a better plan, then just sighed softly and placed his hand over hers on his cheek. "You didn't deserve the death threat....I'm truely sorry....my anger is something that I'm not proud of and its driven away many people I cared about." He sort of hinted to her how much he cared, without even realizing it. After he spoke he stayed how he was, looking down at her.

Casey smiled a nervous smile "well... I'm not going anywhere. You're not the only one with a nasty temper. Though... I must admit... you have better manners than me... my attitude gets carried away too many times" she said. Come on... look away, Casey, just look away, she thought. Yet, no matter how much she told herself to look somewhere else, she found that her eyes were glued to his, with the occasional wandering to his lips. Admit it, the voice said. Casey did not answer with words, rather, she raised up and gently brushed her lips against his cheek, all rational thought haveing long since left her.

Theo couldn't help but smile a little when she said that. It was rather true, and he didn't like being rude. He stared right back into her eyes, noticing how her eyes wandered down to his lips. He was having the strongest urge to just kiss her when she came closer to his face, but he let her kiss his cheek. He just let go of one of her hands, slowly. Then moved it to rest gently on her neck with a small smile. He gave her a small soft kiss on the cheek in return, though his eyes had closed when he did and when he opened them again to look at her face all he wanted to do was kiss her.

Casey was suddenly aware of her pounding heart, she was sure her face must be completely flushed. She smiled slightly when Theo kissed her cheek and then watched him pull back and open his eyes. She could see the desire burning in them, it made her pulse quicken. Maybe I am in love with him, she admitted as she leaned closer to him, closeing any sort of distance between them. She reached up the hand that was previously in Theo's and rested it on his chest, she smiled when she felt that his heartbeat was just as hard and fast as her own.

Theo's heart was pounding even harder when she came closer, almost to the point that it hurt. He loved that she did that and just that she touched him made him want to kiss her more. He gazed down at her, so close...he finally just gave in. To hell with the results. He leaned down and gently pressed his lips against hers, closing his eyes and moving his other hand around her waist to keep her close.

Casey breathed in sharply through her nose and she immidiately responded to the kiss. She raised up on her toes to get closer to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, lacing her fingers through his heavenly soft hair. She was surprised by the amount of passion that he excited within her, and only hoped that it wouldn't scare him off.

Theo was a little surprised how passionately she kissed him back, but he smiled and let loose his feelings. His arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her up so she wouldn't have to work so hard to be close to him. He kissed her deeply, loving that she was so passionate when she kissed him, not really thinking of anything but her.

Casey squeaked slightly when she felt her feet leave the ground, and she giggled against the kiss. After a few moments of breathless kissing, she pulled back, opening her eyes. She stared down at him and smiled a soft, yet bright smile. She rested her forehead against his and smiled blinking slowly. She smiled and giggled lightly when she saw how close his face was to hers. "That... that was nice" she said softly, not sure how to describe her first kiss.

Theo felt truely alive when kissing her, more than he had in awhile. When she squeaked it sounded cute to him, as well as her giggle. His heart dropped slightly when she pulled back, but then remembered that they had to breathe. He smiled up at her. When she giggled again, he smiled more. Though as soon as she spoke he looked slightly pouty. "Aww...only nice?"

Casey giggled and smiled bright "I don't know how to to describe it... it was... breathtaking... amazing... wonderful... it was beyond description" she explained, breathless from the kiss earlier "it was everything I wanted my first kiss to be" she mumbled against his lips, giving him a quick kiss before pulling back to look at him again

Theo smiled happily when she described it, then kissed her again. Something though, stuck him. "Umm...first kiss? Really? I stole your first kiss?" He didn't think someone like him deserved something that special.

Casey pouted when his smiled seemed to dissappear "you didn't steal it. I gave it to you. I'd gladly do it again" she responded as one of her hands absently played with his hair. She leaned to the side until her lips brushed his ear "please tell me what's wrong" she pleaded in a whisper. She blinked slowly again, her eyelashes brushing up against his temple.

Theo sighed softly, but didn't put her down. "I didn't deserve something as special as that...that's something you give to your first love...not the man that kidnapped and threatened to kill you." How she was at that moment sort of turned him on.

Casey smiled "what is the man that kidnapped me and threatened to kill me is also the man I love? would it be alright to let him have my first kiss then?" she asked, pulling back slightly to look at him. She could only move back so much before she fell over. "Well? what's your answer? because mine stays the same as before. I gave you that kiss and I'd gladly do it again" she answered.

Her words made Theo freeze, when she leaned back, he just sort of stared at her. He wasn't sure what he'd just heard. "Did...you just say...you love me?" He was trying not to get his hopes up, but it was so hard not to. If she loved him...he thought his heart would burst.

Casey blushed a deep red and looked down, hearing him repeat her words some how made it that much more real. "Yeah... I guess I did say that" she said softly before shyly looking up, even though her head was pointed down. "I meant it, though" she whispered before biting her bottom lip.

Theo's heart did feel like it was bursting, but more with joy than anything else. He quickly set her on the ground, without saying a word. He gently took her face in his hands and kissed her deeply and passionately, more so than before.

Casey gasped with the speed with which he moved and gasped again with the passion that he poured into his kiss. She smiled and kissed him back with an equal amount of passion, vaguely wondering in the back of her mind where Kirse was now maybe that voice will leave me alone, she thought to herself. She moved her hands from his hair down to his chest. She smiled against the kiss when she felt his heartbeat. It was her favorite part about him, the way it fluttered and pounded for her the same way hers fluttered and pounded for him.

Theo smiled into the kiss, kissing her as long as he could without breathing. Then slowly pulling back after awhile to breathe. He smiled joyfully down at her. "I'm not sure...what love feels like, because I've never experienced something this powerful in my heart before." He starred down at her, eyes sort of shimmering. "If that's what this feeling is...than...I love you too." He sounded slightly out of breath and like he'd gotten something off his chest.

Casey giggled lightly and kissed him gently, yet quickly on the lips. "You know... I love feeling your heartbeat. I love how it does the same thing for me that mine does for you. Here, see for yourself" she said, grabbing one of his hands and placing it gently over her heart, then she grabbed his collar and pulled him down slightly to give him a proper kiss, her heart pounding the whole time.

Theo seemed slightly surprised when she placed his hand there, and it sure was tempting. But, he shoved that thought away and focused on her heartbeat, which was starting to make him smile as he felt it. "Nice." He did love the way it felt, then couldn't help but grin when she pulled him down and kissed him, which he returned enthusiastically.

Casey smiled and pulled away, completely out of breath "perhaps... we should actually get to the waterfall now... before one of us passes out from lack of oxygen" she joked with a slight pant. Her pulse was racing and she was out of breath, and she loved every bit of it. She leaned up to whisper in his ear "we can continue where we left off later" she promised, her lips lightly grazing his ear, she smiled and giggled when she noticed a few hairs stand on end, she kissed his ear in response, exhaling as she did so.

Theo smiled happily when she pulled back, breathing sort of quickly through his mouth and nose. Then shivered slightly when she spoke in his ear. "Alright...we can go to the waterfall. I bet Kirse is already there." He grinned at the promise of continuing later, though wondered how far she would go.

She smiled when he shivered "cold?" she teased with a wink. She grabbed his hand and tugged him lightly in the direction they were going previously "come on, let's go. If we're lucky, Kirse won't be worried about us and therefore jump us as soon as he spots us.

Theo chuckled softly and let her lead him. "Ah. I doubt it, looked like he was eager to swim as soon as he heard waterfall."
