When the Balls Drop; A New Years Tale Chapter 7

Chapter Seven: Mason's First Turn at Bat…

As the first day of the New Year progressed Mason and Veronica found themselves totally engrossed in each other's company. After their shower and lunch they decided to take a nap snuggled up by the fire.

Mason wakening first could not believe his desires, how much he felt for Veronica already. As he watched her there sleeping peacefully on his chest he traced the soft, sweet, swoops of her beautiful pouting lips with his fingertip. Mason had always been a practical man, he couldn't believe that he had gone into a relationship like this one, but who would know, no one but him, no one would ever guess that she was completely a she except for one small part she'd chosen to keep. After all he had been completely fooled himself…

When Veronica awoke and found Mason staring down at her with such passion she was overcome with a swoon of emotions…how had she found this guy and convinced him to be with her, and how long did she believe that he would continue it? She new he had it in him from the first time she laid eyes on him…he was like a bird in a gilded cage waiting for the right person to come and set him free. But would he remain with her? Or would his 9-5 corporate lawyer head get the better of his body and his heart and cause him to leave her soon in the new year… He said that he wanted to be with her, for them to be a couple just like anyone else but Veronica wasn't sure she could delude herself into believing that could be…

But as she looked up into his sea blue eyes, she couldn't worry about what might be…she had to be in the here and the now… in the arms of her sensational new lover lost in the passion and the power of their newly kindled flame…


She reached up to kiss him as he lay there looking down on her… they listened to the fire crackle and watched the flames glow as the dying light outside allowed the fire to project its amber glow around the room. They watched the dancing wisps of flame as each played one with the other becoming one for a moment and then parting and coming together again…
