Anna and Evan stood up and walked out of the cafeteria, along with a few other campers. As he walked with her to the lecture hall, his hands were in his pocket. They passed by a massive library that was relatively busy, presumably with college students working on their dissertation or something. They passed a few empty classrooms before they reached the lecture hall. As they walked past the empty classrooms, Evan's eyes shone with mischief. Anna walked beside Evan, feeling a sense of giddy excitement. His casual confidence was infectious, and she found herself stealing glances at his profile as they walked. The lecture hall was already dimly lit, and the low murmur of other campers filled the air. Wooden benches lined either side of the hall and ascended upwards towards the back of the room. As they reached the back row, Evan gestured for Anna to go first. She slid into the seat, her heart pounding in her chest. The anticipation of being alone with him in the dark was almost overwhelming. Evan settled on the wooden bench next to her, his thigh pressing against hers in the narrow space. He leaned over and whispered into her ear, his breath warm against her skin. "Ready for this?" Anna nodded, unable to speak, she was more than ready. The lights dimmed further as the student leader walked in and the presentation began. Most of the other campers were seated in the front and middle rows, leaving Anna and Evan isolated in the back row.
When the perky blond student leader began speaking, Anna found herself leaning into Evan's side, seeking his warmth and strength. Evan draped his arms over her shoulders, his other hand resting on her upper thigh. Anna relaxed into Evan's embrace, feeling safe and protected in his arms. The slide show began, casting a soft glow over the lecture hall, but she was barely paying attention to the images on the screen. All her focus was on the guy beside her. His hand felt warm and heavy on her shoulder, and she could feel the solidness of his chest against her back. It was a new sensation for her, being this close to someone, and it sent a pleasant shiver down her spine. As the presentation droned on, Evan's fingers began to gently trace patterns on her upper arm. The touch was light, almost imperceptible, but it sent sparks of electricity through Anna's body. She tried to concentrate on the speaker's words about native remedies, but all she could think about was Evan's hand on her skin. She tilted her head slightly, resting it against his shoulder.
After a while, the speaker put on a documentary about the development of herbal medicine and that is when Evan started kissing Anna. She gasped as his lips met the sensitive skin of her neck. His kisses were gentle at first, soft pecks that sent shivers of pleasure down her spine. She titled her head to give him better access, her eyes closing as she lost herself in the sensation. His hands left her shoulder, sliding down to rest on her waist. He pulled her closer, his other arm tightening around her. Anna felt like she was melting into him, all thoughts of the documentary forgotten. Even's lips trailed up to her earlobe, sucking gently on it before whispering, "You taste good." Anna let out a breathy laugh, feeling bold and reckless. "So, do you," she whispered back. His hand on her waist began to move, his thumb stroking the fabric of her shirt just above the waistband of her shorts. Anna arched into his touch, a soft moan escaping her lips. Evan's hand slipped beneath the hem of Anna's shirt, his warm palm resting on the bare skin of her stomach. His touch was electric, sending a jolt of heat straight to her core. She gasped softly, her fingers digging into his thigh. His lips continued their assault on her neck and ears, each kiss more demanding than the last. Anna felt like she was on fire, her body responding to his touch in ways she had never experienced before.
"Evan," she breathed out, her voice a mixture of pleasure and desperation. "Someone might see." He chuckled softly against her skin. "Let them look," he murmured. "They are too busy watching the documentary to focus on us." His hand slid higher up her stomach, his thumb brushing the underside of her breast. Anna's breath hitched in her throat. She wanted him to touch her more, to explore every inch of her body. When the documentary came to an end and the lights grew brighter in the lecture hall, Evan reluctantly withdrew from her. Anna felt a rush of disappointment as Evan pulled away, his touch lingering on her skin like a phantom. She straightened up in her seat, trying to compose herself as the lights came on fully. Her heart was racing, and she could feel the heat in her cheeks. The blond camp leader's ponytail swayed as she handed out pamphlets with information and at the same time, Evan leaned in close and whispered his promise into her ear. "We will continue this tonight." Anna shivered at his words, a thrill of anticipation running through her. She took the pamphlet from the speaker with a nod, barely registering the information on it.
Evan stood up first and made his way to the front of the lecture hall where he talked to the blond student leader. As the rest of the campers filed out of the hall, Anna lost sight of Evan and the blond student leader. She brushed aside thoughts of jealousy, telling herself that maybe he just wanted to ask the student leader a question or something. The rest of the evening passed in a blur for Anna. All she could think about was Evan's touch, his kisses, and the promise of what was to come. She went through the motions of brushing her teeth and getting ready for bed, but her mind was elsewhere. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she slipped into bed and waited.
