Casey gasped and screamed a little as her foot slipped, but she gained control. She looked back and blushed when she saw that not only was Theo chasing her, he was chasing her without a shirt. She started the climb again, albeit slower this time. When she reached the top, she knew he was right behind her. She laid back and stared at the sky, waiting for Theo to join her.

Casey smiled as she turned her head to look at him. Her pulse quicked when she saw his appearance and she sat up enough to entangle a hand in his wet hair and give him a direct kiss straight on the mouth.

Casey smiled a sheepish smile "I gave me a scare, hence the scream. But it's alright now, I'm alright. Besides, even if I did fall, I'd fall right into your arms. So what's there to fear?" she asked as she pulled her hand down and placed it on his cheek "everything's alright now" she whispered.

Casey's face immidiately flushed a deep red when she realized that Theo's nose was basically touching hers. Her breathing was shallow and quick. Her heart was pounding so hard and so fast, she vaguely wondered if it was going to hammer itself out of her chest. She backed herself further into the ground so create some sort of space between them. She opened her mouth to ask what he was doing, but shut it again when no words came.

His words did nothing to calm her racing heart or her breathing, but they did give her the strength to speak "you were just really close... I wasn't sure how to react. I've never been that close to anyone before. I didn't know what you were going to do. You just all of a sudden got this really mischivious glint in your eyes... and I reacted on reflex" she told him, managing to control her breathing by the time she'd finished speaking.

Casey laughed lightly "well, sir, I'd say you accomplished your intended task... and then some" she said as she leaned into his touch. "I should probably go home sometime... let my parents know what's going on... then I can come back with you. I can't just dissappear without a trace... they'll think that I've been kidnapped or something" she said with a wink. "Just imagine their response when I tell them that I was and that I've fallen in love with my kidnapper and that I am going to go live with him" she added with a light chuckle.

Casey chuckled "but why? it'd be so much fun to see their reaction" she said, pouting slightly. She noticed his reaction and sighed. "Sure thing, hun. We'll say you... whisked me off my feet the moment we spoke. That's close enough to the truth, because they will ask how we met" she told him, kissing his nose.

Theo was relieved and looked at her gratefully. "I just don't want them taking you away from me..." Which he would respect the wishes of her parents...it was just something he did.

Casey smiled "later down the road, when we're sure that they won't take me away from you... can we tell them? I really want to see their reaction... wait, nevermind. Forget I said that, I know what they're reaction will be. But you're wrong... they won't take me away from you... they'll take you away from me. Either way, how about we head over now?" she suggested, sitting up some, pushing her nose right against his. Their lips were so close they almost touched, in fact, if they moved slightly, they did.

Theo's eyes became a little sad when she said that her parents would take him away from her....he knew exactly what would happen. He did seem to smile just a little when she got very close to him. "Hmm...well...may I have a little more of my captive first?" He whispered, just by her lips.

Casey smiled when she saw that he smiled. "of course... as long as I get home by nightfall, or my parents will freak out, no matter what I tell them. And don't worry about them, you're a great guy, they'll love you. Just do me a favor and don't get intimidated by my dad. He's very protective of his little girl and he's going to drill you with question after question. But he only does it for his own peace of mind. He'll know that no matter what either of them say, I'll still be with you. He's just going to make sure that you're a suitable protector for me. But you're a great guy so I know you're pass with flying colors. You'll do just fine" she told him, whispering the last part.

Theo listened to everything she said, then looked as if he'd won her all to himself. "Good." He smiled and gently kissed her, soft and shallow at first, but soon getting deeper. His hands moving to rest on her sides.

Casey squeaked and giggled when Theo's kiss turned deeper and more passionate. She wrapped her arms around his neck and ran her fingers through his wet hair. She kissed him back with an equal amount of passion daddy better love him... or he's going to lose his little girl... because I'm not leaving Theo... ever. Not even if he told me to leave, she thought as one of her hands travelled downwards to rest over his heart.

Casey inhaled sharply, surprised when she felt Theo's tongue on her lips. However, once the initial shock had passed, she parted her lips and allowed him to explore. She didn't know what to expect, but she trusted him. So, she let him take charge of the kiss, while she allowed her hands to explore south, exploring the way his well developed abs felt under her fingers.

Casey giggled lightly, his touch tickled herand she instinctivly went to his to get them to stop tickling. They didn't stay there for long, however, one hand went to go rest on his heart, while the other took his hand to rest on hers, as she had previously. She tenatively licked his tongue, still shy and unsure about this new version of kiss, yet loving it all the same.
