Casualty Check

Saico whose eyes was with her saw what happened and immediately ran to her side to check the casualty. He took her hand as his expression dimmed and worry etched to his face.

"I'll get the first aid kit," Gabriella launched to find the kit inside the cottage leaving the two behind.

"I'm fine," Simione said but her expression was far what she said. The pain was great and Saico sensed that. "God, I'm such a careless- "

"Hush dear," Saico's endearment came unconsciously. Wanting to alleviate Simione's pain, he blew onto the burned spot on her skin gently. His hot breath landed on Simione's skin making her flinched, not really with pain but with some kind of unknown sensation that rose from her stomach. Immediately she realized they were too close and that Saico's smell made way to her nostrils like a tantalizing aroma and very appealing. She felt a sudden tugged in her inside, like a pull warning of her something she doesn't know.
