After. A few more minutes Liam turns off the trail through some thicker forest. Several minutes pass before he finally stops at a small secluded waterfall.
My breath catches at the Beauty of it. Liam lays a blanket out behind some rocks near the fall and guides me to sit between his strong thighs while he wraps his sculpted arms around me.
Liam: I hope you know you can trust me. I would never do anything to hurt you.
I place a hand on his forearm
Willow: I know Liam...and I do trust you. It's just... I haven't been with any one since my husband and even though I have a clean bill of health I...
I bit my lip in embarrassment
Willow: God I feel like a teenager. I don't know why I feel so embarrassed.
I take a deep breath.
Willow: I'm not on birth control because my husband had a vasectomy and I hadn't expected to start dating!
I let out a breath. While Liam chuckles against my back squeezing me tightly into him.
Liam: I am clean and clear as well but You know there are other methods for protection and other means of pleasure.
He sweeps my hair to one side to kiss my neck. I nod as I lay my head back and close my eyes.
Liam: I do have condoms.
My breaths become shallow as his fingers find their way under my shirt to fondle a breast.
Liam: Though I hate to admit they are kind of old. It's been a while and their only purpose was to keep my self-protected during my dark drunk and fuck phase.
I pause and turned my head slightly to look back and up at him in confusion.
He pulls his hand out of my shirt turning me more toward him.
Liam: I can't get you pregnant.
He looks away and takes a deep breath.
Liam: I was married back when I was in the marine Corp. We tried for years to have a family but after all the tests and experiments in the end it was me. I was sterile....
I brush my fingers along his jawline drawing his eyes back to mine.
Willow: There was no other way?
Liam: I would have done anything.
His eyes drift off to the horizon again.
Liam: She didn't.
Willow: So, she divorced you?
I gave a look of anger resenting his ex for hurting him so much. He nodded yes. Though the pain was distant in his eyes it was still there. I wrapped my arms around him burying my head in the crook of his neck wanting him to know how much I cared for him and none of his past would affect my feelings for him.
