said quietly as she re-positioned her ball cap.
Erin repositioned herself and picked her fishing pole back up. Jack came running out on the dock, the smell of
hotdogs carried to him with the wind. Henderson pulled off a piece and tossed it at him before she began
hooking the remaining pieces onto their hooks.
The kiss had been unsettling to her in more ways than one. She knew she needed to talk to Mac, but she wasn t
even sure what to say. Especially when her own feelings weren t exactly clear.
"Mac?" She said as she readied Erin s pole with the bait. She glanced up and saw that the younger woman was
looking at her, listening. "We should talk." She stood and held on to her own pole, ready to cast it out.
"Alright." Erin said, as she followed Henderson and stood from her sit. She watched as Henderson flipped the
fly wheel, brought the rod back over her shoulder and then cast the line out.
Erin looked down at her rod and did the same, feeling the line give quickly as she brought it back and then
thrust it forward out into the lake. Her cast didn t go nearly as far as Henderson s but it went out far enough.
Henderson quickly flipped the flywheel back over for her. "Now just reel it in a little to pull it tight." She
instructed as she demonstrated with her own rod before she sat down again on the blankets.
Erin did the same, returning back down on the blankets while holding her rod with both hands, convinced she
was about to catch a large fish.
Henderson leaned back and turned on her side to face Erin, holding her rod with one hand. "Mac, when you
kissed me just now, what did you feel?"
Erin looked at her, a little surprised at the question. "I don t know& I guess I didn t think too much about it."
"Are you attracted to me?" Henderson asked.
"Yes." Erin responded meeting the dark blue eyes before she looked away a little embarrassed.
"Is that all it is then? Attraction?"
Erin couldn t look back at her, and she swallowed hard as her face burned in response to the questioning. "I
don t understand." She said softly.
Henderson reeled her line in a little more before continuing. "Do you have any other feelings for me, other than
the physical attraction?"
"Of course." She said with conviction, this time looking up at her again. "I care about you a great deal." She
didn t know what Henderson was getting at but she wanted to make sure the older woman knew that she cared.
"Mac, I think what you re feeling right now is normal." She said gently. "When a woman is first awakened, so
to speak, to her sexual attraction to women, she often& "
"Feels like she s going to die if she doesn t have sex with a woman again soon?" Erin finished for her.
Henderson shook her head and softly chuckled. "Yeah. I guess it s safe to say you re having those feelings
then."
Erin shook her head. "I guess it s pretty obvious."
"Yeah, it was that whole kissing thing that tipped me off." She teased as she tossed her a grin and reeled in her
rod again.
"But it doesn t mean that I don t care about you." Erin said quickly, needing to clarify.
"I know." Henderson said, sitting up once again. "But I don t think it would be wise for me to act on our mutual
attraction right now." It pained her to say the words but she knew that she was saving them both some future
heartaches.
Erin looked out over the water, still holding her rod tight in her hands. The wind was blowing her line to her
left, but she didn t care. She could hear Jack running and barking along shore, enjoying his new adventure.
"So you re telling me in a nice way to keep my lips to myself." She said, feeling a dark loneliness spread
throughout her chest.
"Just from me, yeah." She said, not wanting to hurt her feelings. "It s not easy resisting you, you know. I care
about you too, which is why I have to do this."
Erin shook her head in understanding. "I know." She said. "But that still doesn t change the fact I feel like I m
going to die if I don t have a woman again soon." She smiled as she said the words. As ridiculous as they
sounded, they were true.
Henderson laughed and drew her line all the way in to recast.
"It s not funny." Erin said as she watched the older woman stand to throw her line back out. "What am I
supposed to do now?"
Henderson sat back down and looked her way. "Find some hot babe with an insatiable sexual appetite and
screw your brains out."
Erin scoffed. "Yeah right, easier said than done."
"Are you kidding me? With your looks and charm, you ll be beating them off with a stick."
Erin started to protest but her pole jerked in her hands. She let out a little scream as it jerked again, this time
harder. Panicked, she stood and clung to pole as it bent in a stressed arch.
Henderson set down her own pole and came quickly to the blonde s side. "You got one." She said as she helped
her to pull on the pole. "Reel it in."
Erin looked down at her reel and began painstakingly winding against the thrashing fish. Henderson yanked the
pole up over and over, helping her to win the battle against the fighting fish.
"Ok, you got it. It s coming up." Henderson let go of the pole and went to edge of the dock with a net. "A little
closer, Mac." She said as she knelt down over the edge, swooping the net down into the water.
"There! Your first fish." She said as she stood and turned with the silver flopping fish in her net. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
