but it didn't matter, leaning her back against the wall as he pressed himself against her. Sexually aroused by his prompt actions, she couldn't take the teasing anymore, needing him to for fill her every desires. She Lifted her leg and wrapping it around his waist, pulling him closer and deeper in her.

Biting her lip to keep from moaning to loud in pure pleasure and arching her head back, hitting it against the wall with a soft thud. He pulled her other leg up and she wrapped it around his waist, being supported by the wall and his arms that were wrapped around her waist.

Every time he moved, she bit her lip harder, her heart had accelerated and felt as if it would burst out of her chest. Just before she reached her climax they heard a familiar voice.

"Travis, Sierra it's nine already. If you want something to eat for breakfast then you'd better come down here now." Kathryn's voice was loud enough to hear from the kitchen, where Sierra assumed she was. Stopping briefly to listen for the footstep we were sure to hear. When no other sound come they both sighed a sign of relief but he never stopped his movements. She held her breath and listened so sure that, that would not be the end of it. "Travis, if you two don't come down here now, I'll come up or send your father up to find you and drag you down here. And you too, Sierra." This time Sierra could hear the laughter in her voice but she knew too well that, that is exactly what she'll do.

Sierra stiffened in his arms, expected to be found and scared to death if we were. He stopped midway and looked down at her, "we'll finish this later." He smiled, leaning down and kissing her one last time before she unwrapped her legs and stood on her own. He smiled her favorite smile, looking her up and down, biting his lip. Sierra watched as he took a deep breath and stepped back, turning around and heading for his clothes. Watching every movement he made and thanking the heaven's above for such a handsome man that loved her for her. She smiled every time he looked her way, trying to focus her thoughts on the task at hand. She only turned towards the shower when she saw him leave the room, not wanting to miss out on a single thing.

Turning on the shower head and waiting for the water to warm up. Sierra needed the shower but didn't want to wash away his scent, it was all over her naked body. She stood watching the water fall, thinking about the days and nights still to come. Feeling his hands wrap around her waist and turning around to face him. It looked like he had taken a shower and was already changed into a clean pair of jeans and t-shirt on. "I can't stay for long," he laughed, pulling her closer. She laughed to, it sounded so corny but she loved it.

"You'd better go downstairs so your mom or even your dad, and that would be worse, don't come up here looking." She said starting to blush even thinking about how embarrassing that would be. "Travis go now, or they'll have to come and pull as apart." She watched as his mind started working and a sexy but devilish smile appeared on his face. Oh no. "Travis, no." Sierra smiled, putting her hands on his chest and pushing him toward the door. He was pouting and it looked so cute, she couldn't help but laugh. Giving in, she got up on her tip toes and kissed him before shutting the door.

The shower was warm and soothing but her thoughts kept taking her back to only seconds ago. She longed to be in his arms again. After washing her hair and cleaning herself off, she stepped out to find the cabinet full of towels. Making a mental note to thank Kathryn for everything she's done for her. She grabbed a towel, drying off her hair then wrapping it around her body. Sierra walked out of the bathroom to see a single red rose sitting on top of her pillow with a note. She had to focus on changing into some clothes before looking at the note, sure that whatever it said would change her mind and she wouldn't get dressed or leave this room at all. In the closet, she pulled off the first item of clothing her fingers touched, not caring about what it was. Dropping her towel and slipping into the dress. It happened to be a summer dress, not something anyone would wear around here but right now it didn't matter to her. Once the dress was in place, she headed to the bed and to where the rose and note still laid. Picking up the rose and taking in deep breaths of the beautiful fragrance. The note itself was so beautiful, it made her heart soar and also brought tears to her eyes.

To the love of my existence,
This rose pales in comparison to your beauty, but there isn't a thing on earth that is more beautiful than you. You are my one true love and you have my heart and soul til the end of time.
My love is yours forever more.

Sierra had tears in her eyes as she brought both the rose and the note to her heart. She had to sit, his words were so powerful that her knees were weak just standing up on her own. "Sierra." She heard his voice and wanted to run to him. She wanted to tell him that her lifetime wasn't a long enough time to spend with him, she wanted so much more. But she couldn't make her legs stand. Sierra dropped her head when she heard the door open, she didn't want him to see her crying. These were tears of joy and happiness but still they were tears. He wouldn't understand or would he? She didn't know for sure until she felt his hands on hers and he pulled her off the bed, and into his arms.

"Thank you for the rose and the note, it means the world to me." Sierra whispered into his chest. His hand reached down, cupping her chin and lifting her head. She looked into his eyes as he kissed her. A long and passionate kiss. Staying that way until they heard a familiar voice.

“Sierra, I need to talk to you." Phillips voice sounded close and his footsteps even closer. Oh no, just like she had thought he was sent up here to drag both of them down. Just wonderful. They were still embraced in their kiss when the door opened, "Oh sorry, I didn't mean to bother you." She broke off the kiss and watched as Phillip looked between Travis and her, smiling.

Sierra couldn't help but laugh as embarrassed as she was. They had been caught but she would rather get caught just kissing him then what they were doing earlier. She felt the heat rising in her cheeks and turned away from the both of them. Burying her face in Travis' chest. Sierra started thinking about last night and the noises they both were making. And how she had hoped that it wasn't very loud but the smile Phillip had on his face just moments ago, told her otherwise. Had they heard them last night or did Travis say something? She didn't like the fact of not knowing.

"I didn't say anything. They must have heard us last night and as surprised as I am, they're really happy." He whispered an answer to her unspoken question. Oh god that's even worse. She blushed a deeper red. How was she to face them without feeling embarrassed?

"Sierra please come with me and Travis would you go downstairs and help your mother." Sierra looked up at Travis' face to see what kind of reaction he'd have for this. And was completely surprised to see him smiling. As he looked down at her and saw the confused look on her face, he quickly tried to hide his amusement. That irritated her, he knew what this was about and he'd kept it from her. Secrets, she hate secrets and he knows this.

"I love you." He cooed and planted a kiss on her cheek. She couldn't help but smile even though she was mad. He was way to handsome to stay mad at for long. Sierra felt an arm on her shoulder and pulled her eyes away from Travis'. Phillip was trying to comfort her as he was ushering her away but for some reason she didn't feel comfort instead she felt fear. What could be so important that she would have to endure this alone? A thousand questions came to mind. But she couldn't form the words to speak them out loud.

They walked down the hall together and into his study, taking a seat on the couch and trying to think positive. It couldn't be that bad after all Phillip was smiling, wasn't he? She tried to smile but it didn't come out right and this action brought him to sit next to her. Sierra watched as he took a few deep breaths and then tighten his arm around her. Oh no, it's bad. She thought. It has to be, she has never seen him like this before. He's always been such a strong figure that she has looked up to through the years of her own misery. The silence was unnerving and watching him fall apart right now was too much for her. Her own eyes started watering and she could no longer hold back the fear in her voice. "Phillip please tell me."

"I don't know how to do this." He breathed in deeply and dropped his head in his hand. "I received a phone call this morning, the police have reopened your case. They said they received a tip and are following up on it. It was someone they suspected as the perpetrator from the beginning." Phillips words were hard to take but it didn't make sense. Shouldn't this make him happy? Shouldn't we all be happy to find this scum bag and lock him away forever?

"I don't understand." She asked as he looked up at her and she saw the tears he shed. "There's something else, isn't there. Who are the police looking at? Who do they suspect?" Sierra kept her eyes on his until he dropped his head back down.

"Simon," was all he said and it was barely audible. Sierra didn't know if she had heard him right, dropping her eyes to the floor as she started shaking her head. This can't be right, there has to be some mistake.

"Your wrong." Her voice was stronger than she thought, almost screaming this to him. "Simon has nothing to do with what happened." Sierra pulled away from him, standing up and pacing the room. "He left before it happened. He wasn't even
