There he is! Celeste thought. He's been hiding from me again. But Carlo says he likes me! That's why he hides. He likes me & doesn't want to show it. Well. I want him to show it. I need him to! I need him! But what if Carlo has misjudged? Or, worse, if he's lying? Oh, no! Please don't let that be the case! I'll die...

Jase felt Celeste's eyes on him. He turned quickly and caught the girl standing there. Her long white stretch cotton dress was backlit & she wore no slip. Thus the shadows of her long legs were visible. It was as if the gods played a game... how far can Jace be pushed before he snaps? The wind was in on the conspiracy. It gusted against the front of the dress, pressing into the lush place between her thighs. Oh, God, he thought. Not now, of all times! No. It wasn't the gods tempting him. It was the very devil!

"Alright... you caught me!" Celeste said with a nervous laugh. "I'm "busted" as Carlo would say." Her bangs blew back from her forehead, revealing her more mature heart shaped face. She drew her breath in, ******* up every ounce of courage she owned and the rest came out in a gust, "Carlo taught me how to kiss. I want to know if I'm doing it correctly. Will you tell me?"

Jason Alexander was caught off guard. He was dumbfounded.
"WHAT??!!!" Alex had heard some things come from the lips of this child, but he was completely unprepared for this one!! "He did WHAT??!! AND NO!!! You let him kiss you?? You know better than that!!"

That's when he saw how much courage it took for her to ask... and how her lips were slightly swollen. Bruised with passion.  Uh, oh. That little ****** really had kissed her! Her face crumbled like paper & she began to sob.

"Celeste. I'm sorry... c'mon." He walked over to her slowly and put his hand on her shoulder. She shrugged herself away from him, forcing him to take both of her shoulders and hold her firmly.

"My dear girl. He shouldn't have done that. I told you before. He might be 12 years old chronologically,  but he's going on 40, and he's in love with you. More fiercely than any man twice his age. You must be careful! Did he... um... did he French kiss you? Do you know what that means?"

"NONE of your BUSINESS, NOW!!" The girl-woman practically shouted it.

Jace shushed her... "Look! Be quiet! This is a very sensitive, private conversation we're having, and we don't need ears, much less eyes!

Her whole mein changed. He wants privacy does he? Wants things secretive? Well. I'll give him a secret to keep.

"Don't you want to know how he kissed me? What he did? I'll tell you. Actually this will be a lesson for show-and-tell...

Celeste stepped forward into him, put his face between her hands and gave him a strong, deep kiss...

At first he went to push her away, but his lust got the better of him. He found himself winding his arms around her warm, slender body and kissing her back!

Her tongue pressed into his lips. He opened up his mouth to try to say something... anything! Deftly her warm little tongue flicked into his mouth,  and she ran it deliciously over the sensitive gums above the back of his teeth. He practically shivered. His desire was mounting, and he had to do something. Fast.

Again he took her by her shoulders and dragged her off of him.

He looked at her with undisguised desire. they sure didn't make 15-year-olds like you back when I was growing up.  I'd have gotten better grades..."

Celeste smiled. No. She *grinned!! :You do like me!! Just like Carlo said!! She went to kiss him again,  but he took her wrists and pushed her back, turned on his heel, and stalked away. Quickly. Before he changed his mind.

That wantonness *had to be nipped in the bud. He knew just how he'd do it, too. So. You like to kiss girl-child? I'll give you a kiss you'll *never forget...
