Marta laid there, the blue sky above her, her body feeling tingly. She couldn't explain the feelings she was having, but whatever they were, she hoped they never ended. Her body ached, but in such a good way that it left Marta feeling satisfied. She hadn't know what to expect, but it definitely exceeded anything she ever imagined. When they were together, Marta felt such a connection to Ezra, and their love growing deeper. When Ezra popped up onto his elbow and began tracing her skin, Marta's skin was scattered with goosebumps. His touch was amazing. She wished it didn't have to end. 

When Ezra made the birthday comment, Marta laughed lightly, "Definitely the best one yet."

She watched as Ezra began to dress, wishing he didn't because she was enjoying the view. The new toned Ezra was definitely fun to look at. Marta loved running her fingers over the grooves of his muscles. She smirked to herself when he sat up and she saw scratches down his back from her nails. They definitely got more intense than Marta ever imagined. Growing up, Marta always imagined her first time to be this innocent, gentle moment, but her and Ezra let their primal instincts kick it. They did what felt right. Just thinking about it made Marta almost reach up and pull Ezra down for another go, but she knew they couldn't right then. 

Letting out a sign, Marta finally sat up, suddenly feeling a bit of a chill. There was a cool breeze and as it passed over her naked body, she was suddenly very aware of her nudity. She watched Ezra go relieve himself behind a tree, while Marta put back on her undergarments and pants. She was buttoning up her shirt when Ezra came back over. When he spoke, saying he hoped he was good, Marta smiled. She walked over, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulled him into another kiss. She pulled back, "Ezra it was perfect. I couldn't imagine it any better. You made me feel so... alive." Her eyes shown as she looked into his. She knew that once they left their little secluded area, reality would come flooding back in and she wished they could avoid it for a bit longer.

But suddenly she heard Isiah calling out, saying they needed to return. Sighing, Amelia checked her clothes once more, and reached up to adjust her hair. She agreed with Ezra that keeping this a secret was important. It would be tempting to talk to Atalia about it, but she knew she couldn't say anything. They left their little hidden spot, hand in hand, and made their way back to their friends. As they approached, Atalia raised her eyebrows. She sensed right away there was a change in both her friends, Ezra more so.

Without a word, they made their way back up to the cottage. As they approached, Marta saw Jeremiah standing on the porch speaking with Mrs. H. And just like that, her perfect moment was shattered. She unintentionally slowed her walk, she knew once they were back, Ezra would be leaving her again. She wasn't ready, she couldn't let Ezra leave, not now, not after what they just shared. Isiah and Atalia continued ahead, but Marta's feet stopped moving. When Ezra turned to her, she looked up, tears welling up in her eyes. "I...what's going to happen?" she asked, her voice shaking.
