what he had to do. She was lost and did not know which way to go so she started forward, in the direciton Pieter had gone and after having walked for around 75 steps she could hear sounds.....sounds of people talking!

The voices were distant, then close, then distant again - they were swirling around in Lorita's head. Sally was stroking her arm as she spoke to the fellow passengers - Lorita could feel something on her arm, but wasn't quite sure what it was although she sensed she wasn't in danger.

Lorita struggled to open her eyes and they very quickly closed again - she was becoming more and more aware of her surroundings and eventually she realised that she was laying on one of the benches on the boat, daylight had started to break and she felt a sense of peace and serenity wash over her.

"Morning" Pieter said, "you bumped your head when the boat got caught". Sally spun round and gently brushed Loritas hair away from her forehead "you took quite a fall you know!"

"I had the strangest dream" Lorita started - as she tried to sit up. The pain in her head swiftly made her return to where she had been laying.

"Rest a while, we'll be there soon"

and as she laid her head back down to try to clear the mist still clouding her mind she could hear a voice .... it said.." soon, soon... " with a crackling laugh..... where had she heard that voice before ? Fear instantly gripped her and she sat bolt upright, screaming! Pieter and Sally turned to see Lorita screaming with a look of utter and deathly fear inher face, she was trying to stand. Pieter was next to her and he was the first one to grab her and try to sit her back down. The boat was shaking violently side to side. Sally went to go help but she realized right away that if she got up to help that it woulld be all the small boat would need to tip over. She sat back down to concentrate and apply all her strength to helping balance the boat. All the while Pieter had managed to wake Lorita up and was slowly calming her down. Still, holding her in his arms as he was managing to sit her down. Such a beautiful woman to be stuck, here, with them, she did not deserve this. He could smell the scent of her perfume wash over him as she put her head on his shoulder sobbing intensely. "There , there now," he said.
Oh S*$# , what a crummy thing to say , so stereotyped...... As the sobs softened Lorita, exhausted as she was, slumped slightly in his arms and it had been a long time since he had held a woman, so soft and tender in his arms. He could fell the heat creeping up his legs......This is so stupid....at a time like this...he thought to himself. But ....he thought...at another time ...not in this foresaken boat....he could easily,....,
"PIETER LOOK" Sally said!

But Pieter wasn't looking anywhere - except right into the centre of Loritas eyes. The urge to kiss her was immense, she was vulnerable and that alone excited him. Loritas hand was against his thigh, he was aroused and imagined that Lorita was teasing him, although he knew really that she was exhausted and merely leaning against him. He knew that he should snap out of it, but having her against him just felt too good and he very gently kissed her neck and slowly made his way up to caress her lips with his own, his breath became shallow excited gasps - he had never wanted anyone more.

"Pieter, what the hell do you think you're doing" Sally scorned.

He stopped instantly, but it was still on his mind, there was no telling how Lorita felt about it the state she was in - but it wasn't the end of it as far as Pieter was concerned.
