Freedom

The abyss of the thick air surrounded Nala and Torik they are finally doing it. After years of talk they finally consummate what they had been dreaming about.
The freedom of the night was upon them, they were able to do what ever they want and no one could stop them from committing this sin. The humidly was sticking to them like silk and their breath could be heard only between them.
“Nala, your sure this is what you want?” Troik said, as he took off his shirt and walks closer to her.
“Yes”, is all she said as she looks back at the lit house not too far from them. “I can’t live this way any more Troik, we need to do this.” She too took off her clothes and walks toward Torik. Their naked bodies have a strange glow in the moonlight. Torik had never seen Nala completely naked before, he was very interested in her body, but he had to keep his mind on the task at hand.
“Come her Nala let me find yours first.” She walks over to Torik and stands in front of him.
“I know very little about this, but I think it’s in the thigh area.” Torik runs his calloused hands up and down her smooth thighs searching and feeling for anything strange.” He finds the smooth bump as he ran his fingers over it he could see Nala reaction. “Does this cause you pain when I do this” he says as he circles the little button. “No, but it is a strange sensation. Now let me examine you.”
She did the same as Torik and ran her fingers over his muscular legs trying to find the same bump. He legs are bigger than hers and she had to take longer. Torik wasn’t complaining, it not everyday that a beautiful lady is so intimate with him. Just when she was getting frustrated at how long it was taking her she saw his reaction and knew that she found his. “I think you found it” as he reacts to her touch. She got up and looks at him. “How long do you think we will have before we get caught.” Torik could see that she was starting to have second thoughts and knew that he had to act fast before she change her mind. “You’ll be okay, they don’t even know that we are missing yet, so we have plenty of time to go all the way, and get away with it.”
Nala knows that he is right. She sits down by the shore of the river. Torik is getting ready. Nala watches the moonlight dance on the still water. She is trying to remember the last time she felt so free, and she can’t. She knows that after tonight everything is going to change for better or worse. She knows that no matter what she will never be the same woman.
Torik can tell that she is thinking and wonders what is about. He wants to ask but is almost afraid to. He doesn’t want to force her, but at the same time he wants her to be with him. “Do you remember when we were children and played in this river.” Torik asks as he sits next to her. “Yes, it was a very long time ago, when things were simple, before we knew anything. Before we knew who we were. I love you and I want to be with you. I’m not changing my mind, but I just want to remember this moment. This is the moment I librated myself and I want to remember every detail of the night.” Torik understands that and waits patiently, but he also knows that even though they have some time to spare just not too much.
“Nala it’s time we have to do this.” She knows that he right and gets up and walks to the shore. She steps in the water one foot at a time and feels the warmth of the water on her skin. She can now remember the last time she felt like this and it was with Torik. He comes up behind her and holds her tightly. “We are almost there just a little further and it will be over with and we will be together.”
“When we cross the shore we will have about five minutes to remove the tracking devices in our legs. It will be painful, but since we know where they are it can be done fast.” Torik walks in the water and holds on the Nala hands. “Then we will be free.”
Freedom, Nala thought. She can’t believe this is going to happen. “You do know how to run that boat”’ she asks.
“Nala, trust me this time tomorrow all this will be the past and our future belongs only to us.”
She swam right along with Torik and for the first time knew that she was finally free.
