Agent for a Cause

She looked back toward Kevin, "But that TV thing must be outrageously expensive and you probably don't want him in your personal stuff!"

I opened a door and led her inside before twirling her away from me and toward the bed, as I turned the lights on.

"I could care less right now if he deleted every folder and file and smashed the thing into a million pieces." I said.

She swung back around to face me smiling, but I could tell she was a little shocked by my domineering handling of her. I stepped out toward her, as I let the door slam shut behind me as the lock clicked audibly.

"Am I moving too fast Anna?"

She looked rather breathless, as she shook her head no.

"Good." I said as I pushed her over backward onto the bed and then slid onto it myself as I straddled her.

"You know why?"

She shook her head again as she stared up at me, as if seeing me for the first time or at least a different side of me.

"Because right now I couldn't move fast enough to suit my desire to make you mine!" I said my voice trailing off as I began to kiss her and undress her at the same time.

"A volcano seriously?" Anna asked, as she looked up at me from where I sat on the countertop beside the sink, as she did the dishes.

I gave her a mock look of affront, "Why what's wrong with it?"

She rolled her eyes and shook a loose strand of her hair from her face back over an ear with a quick dart of a finger.

I chuckled and continued eating my slice of apple pie that she had made, as I appreciated her hard work at cleaning the dishes.

"You know there is a dishwasher." I said.

She smiled and shrugged, "I know but I've never really had a place of my own or one that I wanted to call my own anyway. I've longed for years for the simple joy of washing nice dishes in a sink that I could call my own that's part of a beautiful kitchen filled with nice things."

I smiled teasingly, "Is it still a dream come true since this dream kitchen is located in the middle of a dormant volcano?"

"It'll do." She said softly.

After a moment she asked, "Just what does dormant mean?"

I laughed.

"I'm serious! What does it mean?" She asked looking somewhat miffed at my laughter directed at her.

"It means that it's been a very long time since it was an active lava spewing volcano. It doesn't however mean that there's no volcanic activity going on. This particular caldera sees some activity every 500 years or so. By my figuring we are in year 312 of the volcanic cycle. So unless you're figuring on living another hundred years and then some, I see no hindrances arising to deprive you of your kitchen."
