His body freezes at first, then relaxes into mine. Laughing against his lips, I pull away and take his hands. "The garden is still ours," I purr, pulling him in that direction.

Running again, I stay just out of his reach as I laugh pulling my dress over my head tossing it in his direction behind me. It is not far now and that should speed him up a bit. But it is not enough. I speed up once its in sight.

Of course I reach the heart of my garden first. I can hear it when he enters, so I crouch in the flowers and pounce on him as he passes me by. Laughing again, I dodge his kisses playfully, stripping him of his clothes.
