The air is crisp and full of the small town smells I've fallen in love with. Strong, bitter aromas of hand pressed coffee and dreamy scents of the villages flower gardens. I'm standing on the balcony of the coffee shop I work in, it's a Sunday though, and nobody works on Sundays so I've got the place to myself. Even work is magical, there's nowhere I'd rather be than looking down the valley I now call my home. I could stay here forever. Austria has been a dream compared to the hot desserts of Tucson I grew up in. Everything is perfect...

"Hey kid, are you ok?" Travis, the other exchange student I came here with, asks me.

"Yeah, of course, just lost in thought I suppose." I quietly replied.

Travis and I have been here in Austria for almost a month. We've spent almost every minute of that month together. Everything from studying for exams together to tapping morse code messages on the wall separating our bedrooms. It's crazy to think there was a time without him. He filled in all the broken holes in me, he made me whole and at peace. We even have nicknames for each other. My name is Sydney but that seems far too formal for what we have so he calls me kid because I'm a day younger than him, I call him gramps cause it makes him angry. He's far from a crusty grandpa though, with the exception of his smile. The way his lips curve in a smile as if he's spent 100 years with that same smug smile. His eyes however are a different story. He has baby eyes. Big and blue and always lighting up with curiosity and excitement. He's tall, really tall actually, 6 foot 4. His slender body only adds to his height. His shoulders are broad and toned. His arms are long, I know because when he holds me, they wrap all the way around me. His hands are smooth for a man, huge compared to mine. And his fingers... Long and perfect. There's a lot of things I'd like those fingers to do.

He walks forward towards me and sits in the chair behind me. I glance behind my shoulder and of course, he's ruffling his wavy blonde hair like always. He can't seem to every be content with the way it falls. To me, every strand is in perfect position. I could get lost in his golden honey hair.

"What are you thinking about?" He asks.

I think for a moment, in thinking about so much, I don't know if I can express everything in words.

"This." I say gesturing to the town in front of us.

"It's so perfect. Nothing could make me happier" I say.

"Nothing?" He asks with a wink.

I can already feel myself blushing.

"Well I can think of a few things that could make this moment truly unforgettable." I say under my breath.

Travis stands up and takes a step toward me. Even this close, I can feel the hair on my arms standing up with chills. It's like he has an electric current flowing through him, and I can't wait to be shocked.

I stand still in place. Travis takes this as a hint to take the lead. He takes another step toward me. Now he's directly behind me, I can feel his slow breathing on the top of my head. He raises his arms and places a single finger on the top of my back. He slowly drags it down my back till he reaches my hips. The chills are running all through my body now. He hardly needs to do anything to get me gasping for air.

I take a deep breath and with my voice trembling say, "Yeah, I think your managing to make this perfect moment even better."

He lets out a soft laugh. "Oh? Should I stop while I'm ahead then?" He whispers in my ear.

"Well, I guess if you want to keep going, I won't stop you." I say with a smirk.

His fingers come together on my hips, both if his hands grasping me lightly. His hands are huge, they can almost wrap around my hips.

His head leans down and now I can feel his breath on my neck. It's getting faster and harder. He must be a little breathless too. His lips gently pucker  against my neck. I tremble. The chills taking full control of my body. His supple lips gently suck for a second before he pulls away and sits back down in his chair.

I can feel where his warm hands were on my hips and now I feel cold and empty.

"You sure have the shivers Syd" he chuckles with a grin. He's cocky, he knows what his touch does to me.

There's so much more I want him to do to me though...

(Yay! That was just chapter 1, look forward to more soon!)
