"Nobody can cut brush all day. Even if they could, they'd be too tired to fight when something jumped us."The talk went on about the fire, but Furdick...gave it less than half his attention. They weren't easy with each other yet. That would come only with the passage of time. If it ever did, that is. You rubbed against your fellows. Worked, fought, played together. Either you fitted together or you didn't. Sometimes you found someone you fitted well with. Then you had a team, two strong fighting. The party went on till midnight after which all of us went back to our abodes tired and filled and I was quite exhausted so I slammed on my bed early while Padma was watching telly she never used to sleep without talking to my dad and so there she was waiting for his call. I don’t remember when I slumbered into deep sleep suddenly and I woke up hearing the some noise which was not very reassuring and I hurried towards the drawing room but there was nobody and the front door was open. My mother. ‘We’re closer than brothers, darling girl. I told you that before. We have shared everything all our lives. But really, I think you want to hear what Thomas has to say, don’t you? He is the one that loves you and wants to marry you.’ He gave her the sexiest smile she’d ever seen. ‘I only want to love you.’ Linda leaned backwards and pulled Marshall’s face to hers and kissed him hard and deep until she ran out of breath. ‘I think I might want to love you, too,’ she whispered softly in his ear.. He lay unmoving for a while.Then he raised himself on his elbow and continued to gaze at her lips, her neck, her breasts…her whole body for a long time, as if he was seeing a woman for the first time. Then, completely overcome by the passion, he grasped her shoulder and bent down to kiss her face. She turned her face away from him.He lowered his head further and managed to plant kisses on her cheeks, chin and lips. He kissed her a number of times, all noisy, wet kisses that reflected the great.
