"Got it," Her eyes focused on the stone that caught her attention.

"Kaily?"

Kaily's eyes riveted back to his intense gaze.

"Be careful."

Kaily nodded, "I will." She kissed him full on the lips. "Thank you." She didn't know what overcame her. It was not like her to be so familiar, but then there was something between them that made it seem they knew each other for years even though they didn't quite know each other at all. The connection between them both frightened and intrigued her. A part of her felt so comfortable with Moto she reminded herself often she didn't know this man.

Moto nodded once.

Kaily took a deep breath and dove under.

Moto pulled himself out of the water and sat on the edge. He stared into the depths of Crystal Lake. Kaily?

I'm busy.

Moto almost smiled at her tone. Stop playing around and get a stone!

What do you think I am trying to do?

Kill yourself, which I forbade, if you remember?

Then stop bothering me!

Hurry up! You don't want me coming in after you.

Some choice words came to Kaily's mind she tried to keep from surfacing in her thoughts so he wouldn't hear them. She didn't know how, but they obviously could speak mind to mind with each other. She couldn't pretend it was her imagination with him so close and the communication so clear in her mind.

I dare you to repeat that to my face when you surface. Moto warned.

"No!" Kaily said coming out of the water.

"Coward," Moto said.

"I do have some sense of self preservation." Kaily said. "Besides, it's not like you understood what I said."

"Are you sure about that?" Moto challenged.

Kaily narrowed her eyes at Moto. "No," she gave in. "My apologies," she said instead and inclined her head as she saw Shimani do on occasion.

Moto laughed and messed up her hair. "You learn fast. Are you ready to give up?"

"No," Kaily replied, "besides, I got it." She held out her hand with the stone in her palm for Moto to see. As she and Moto looked upon the stone gold threads spread throughout it.

"I have never seen a talisman such as this." Moto picked up the stone. "And I have never seen a talisman change after retrieved." As he touched it silver threads spread throughout the stone to intermix with the gold. "Strange." Moto gave the stone back to Kaily. the silver threads remained.

She touched the stone reverently. "I'll put it back." She said with a heavy sigh. Letting go of the stone was the last thing she wanted to do, but as Moto pointed out, she wasn't Kahoali and there was probably something that said she couldn't keep it.

Moto closed her hand around it. "It's yours to keep, Kaily, but keep it hidden and don't let anyone know that you have it."

"I can put it back. I don't want to cause trouble."

Moto smiled at her. "A talisman belongs to the one who pulls it from Crystal Lake. It's yours to keep." He closed her hand around the talisman.

"It's too valuable to keep." Kaily said.

"It only has value to you, little one." Moto helped Kaily out of the water to set next to him by the edge. He turned her face from the talisman, so she looked at him. "Do you understand why you must keep it secret?"

Kaily nodded, "because I'm not Kahoali." There was bitterness in her tone.

Moto nodded. "That's my girl." He stood and pulled two towels out of thin air.

Kaily followed his movement and it registered that he was naked, again. She glanced down at herself and then the dress that she discarded by the side of Crystal Lake. Moto's clothes were neatly folded next to hers. While she was not naked, she was quite underdressed. She blushed and looked away as he dried her off, and then dropped the towel on the ground near her dress.

Moto smirked as he dried himself off. He left his towel on the ground next to the other discarded one and picked up her dress. He stepped up behind Kaily and pulled her hard against him so that his arousal pressed against her lower back. He bent his head and whispered in her ear. "The last time we were here you were ready to give yourself to me. There may come a day I take you up on that offer and bury myself so deep inside you that you tremble for days."

Kaily shivered and an involuntary groan escaped her lips.

"Want me, Kaily, as much as I want you." Moto spoke the words softly in her ear. He reached around to trail his hand down her stomach, over her underclothes. She knew she was already swollen with need. "Just like that," his lips lightly touched her neck. He breathed her scent in. He pushed a finger hard against her so much so he could feel her pulse beneath his touch through her undergarment.

Kaily squirmed beneath his touch and tried to push his hand away.

"Be still, Kaily," Moto held her tighter. Don't fight me, little one.

Kaily stopped struggling to push him away. "Moto, please,"

"Please what?" Moto rubbed in an excruciatingly slow circle. "You want me to stop?"

Kaily laid her head back against his chest and closed her eyes. "No." She whispered.

"Good." Moto said. "I can't take you the way I want to, but I can give you this." Moto let go of her long enough to remove her undergarments. He dropped her dress and garments at their feet. His finger returned to her swollen desire and he rubbed harder and harder.

She felt her emotions wash over him in his mind. His hardness pressed against her lower back and she could feel it getting harder. He didn't stop. He brought her to climax and just as the wave of her orgasm subsided, he vigorously rubbed her swollen nub of flesh again. He took her higher and higher, and forced her to release again. After the third orgasm, she clutched at his hand still pressed hard against her. She had never
