The bands were amazing. Becky and Demi were in the mosh pit beside Kane and Harley pounding to the beat of the music with the rest of the crowd. Sweat streamed down Becky's face. She had her arms up in the air, a beaming smile and her eyes closed jerking her body in time with the base drum. She'd had enough to drink to lose herself in the music, the smells, and atmosphere of the festival.

"Hey." Kane pumped his body in time with hers. He jumped and thrust against others until he stood behind Becky, slung his arms around her and rocked their bodies in unison to the rhythms blasting from the amplifiers.

Becky spun to face him, reached up and hooked her arms around his neck as strobe lights flashed different colours.

Kane lifted her so she wrapped her legs around his waist while he gripped her butt. "Hey," he said again as they stared at each other with goofy grins and exhilaration on their faces.

"Hey," Becky returned the greeting before she put her lips to his. As they kissed, and he ran his large hand over her backside and up under her shirt to touch her skin she thought, this was right. This was perfect. No niggling images of Rob had entered her head all day. Kane had been her only focus and she'd never had so much fun in her whole life. She'd made up her mind. Tonight was the night. She was ready to give her heart, soul and body to Kane.

"Oi! Get a room!" Demi, sitting on Harley's shoulders, gave them a shove.

Kane pulled his lips from Becky's and laughed. "Fuck off!" he yelled over the music. "We don't need a room just yet."

He looked back at Becky, put his lips to her ear and hollered, "Do you want another drink." As he finished speaking he was bumped by other dancers and stumbled forward. Kane regained his balance and yelled in Becky's ear again, "Let's get out of here, get a drink and find a quieter spot."

"We better tell the others we're getting out of the pit!" Becky shouted back at him.

"Yeah!" Kane nodded and pushed past two bearded nuns who were hip bumping, to get to Harley and Demi. "We're out! Going to get a drink!" He got a thumbs up and made his way through the crowd with Becky still in his arms.

"Fuck... that was hectic," Kane said with a laugh as he put Becky on her feet and took her hand.

"It was fun." She skipped forward to match his step, gripped his bicep and rested her head against it as they walked to the bar. "I've never been to a music festival before."

"What? Are you serious?" Kane said with a quizzical look. "Where did you say you came from?"

"Rockhampton, in Central Queensland."

"So a small place then?"

"No." Becky shook her head. "Not that small, about eighty thousand people."

Kane laughed and gave her a smirk. "Becky, that's small. Adelaide has well over a million, maybe a million and a half so eighty thousand is nothing."

"I guess." She shrugged and gave him a grin. "But it has a university and is big enough for music festivals. In fact they have a festival most years but I never went."

"Oh, okay." Kane let go of her hand and leaned on the bar. "What do you want to drink?"

"A Cruiser please. Any flavour," she said to the barman with a beaming smile as she jiggled up and down on her toes, and then looking at Kane, added, "I've decided I like them all."

He bent, put his lips to hers and whispered, "Is that right, Sapphire. Has the wild side of Becky Bridgestone been unleashed?"

She gave him a peck, lifted the Cruiser, tapped him on the chin with it saying, "You might get lucky tonight, chum," as she turned and walked away.

Kane rushed to pay. He looked over his shoulder and watched Becky wiggling her butt as she strode across the grass. Grabbing his beer he ran after her, scooped her up, tucking her under his arm and headed for a vacant spot. "Me, caveman, get lucky tonight," he said in a gruff voice, put her on her feet, and then beat his chest and howled up at the sky. His beer spilt all down the front of his shirt.

Becky shrieked with laughter and sat crossed legged on the ground. "On second thoughts you might not be capable."

"Me. Man. Me. Capable at everything." More beer spilt as he flung himself down beside her. With that he tossed his nearly empty bottle to one side and wrestled Becky to the ground. She squealed and tried to hold her drink vertical so none would spill.

Once he had her where he wanted her Kane gently prised the drink from her hand, stood it on the ground beside her and cupped her face. "You are so beautiful," he whispered. Kane kissed her in the slow gentle way he always did, and then eased away brushing her hair back as he looked down on her. "Why didn't you ever go to one of those festivals, Becky?"

"Multiple reasons," she said, cupping his face and sweeping her hand to the top of his head as she held his gaze. "I think you're beautiful too."

Kane smiled and asked, "Why?"

"Oh... you're tall, tanned, have the most amazing green eyes and..."

"Why didn't you ever go to a festival?" Kane chuckled and added, "I know why you think I'm beautiful. In fact I think I remember telling you all my good points." He stroked her face as he peered at her. "Do you have really strict parents?"

"Ah..." Becky knew she had to give him an answer. She realised at that moment that he was a lot like Rob in this regard. He asked questions he really wanted to know the answers to. He didn't ask them just to be polite. "Yes and no," she said. "But it was more to do with not having the money to go."

Kane nodded in thought, and then asked, "What does your dad do?"

A lump caught in Becky's throat. Her wonderful time was spiralling at a fast rate. "Can we not talk about my parents? Like, not right now?" She pushed him away and sat up abruptly.

"Whoa." Kane rolled on his back with his arms held out, stared at her for a second, and then said, "I'm sorry, Becky." He sat up beside her, rested his forearms on his bent knees and added, "I've obviously hit a nerve. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."

"It's not your fault." The sudden tension she'd felt left her. She touched his face and scooted closer to him. "It's just my parents are a long story and I really don't want to ruin our night." Becky gave him a grin, and then sprang at him, knocking him onto his back. She straddled him, pinning his arms to the ground. "Especially when caveman is in for a chance."

Kane laughed, and then grunted, using his caveman voice he said, "Me no want to lose chance."

They continued to party and didn't get home until 2am. Kane had to steady Becky as they fumbled up the stairs. He unlocked her door and steered her into the room. Once he'd laid her on the bed he went and got some water for her, and then sat on the edge of the bed holding the bottle up for her to see. "I think you're going to need this, Sapphire."

"Thank you," Becky said with a giggle. She took the bottle, gulped down a quarter, and then handed it back to Kane who put it on the floor. Becky pulled him down so he lay half on top of her. "Let's get cosy, caveman." She lifted the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head.

"Ah... so cave girl is taking charge is she?" Kane let her pull his shirt off, and then shuffled her over on the bed so he could lie down beside her. They kissed. Becky slipped her hand in under the waist band of his jeans. Kane chuckled against her mouth and pulled her hand out. "Uh... uh... not a good idea."

"But... I thought we were going to do it. I said I was ready." Becky's heart pounded as she looked at his face.

"Becky." Kane swept his hand over her head. "You said I might get lucky, not that you were ready."

"Isn't that the same thing?" She pinned him with her gaze adding, "Don't you want to do it with me?"

"Of course I do." Kane took her hand and pressed it against the front of his jeans. "See."

Becky giggled and took a hold of him through the denim but he jerked away. "What's the matter?" she said. "You're ready."

"Yeah. I am but you're not." Kane smiled at her and kissed her forehead.

"Yes I am," she insisted and tried to touch him again.

"I'm not doing it, Becky. You're drunk and I'm not going to take advantage of you like that. I like you too much and want us to both be in the same mind set. Okay?"

Becky peered at him again, and then grinned. "You're drunk too so that makes us equal," she said and reached for him again.

"Not as drunk as you, missy." Kane chuckled and shook his head. He couldn't believe how forward a few drinks had made her. Itwas cute but he'd rather 'til Becky was like this while sober and confident in theirrelationship.

"I told you my name wasn't missy." She giggled and slung her leg over his hip pulling her body close to his as she brushed her hand up his bare chest.

"You did." Kane laughed and ran his hand over her backside. "You're killing me, girl, but if you think doing what you're doing is going to make me change my mind, it ain't gonna happen."

"Huh!" Becky pouted and pulled her head back so she could look at him. "You are so mean."

"Mean is good," Kane said with a grin. "For now anyway because cute little cave girl has got to get some sleep." He pushed her leg from where she had it and rolled her over onto her side so she faced away from him. Kane spooned her and kissing her on the neck murmured, "We can fool around in the morning." He chuckled and added, "If you feel well enough."

I like that Kane is respecting Becky and not taking advantage. I like him more and more. How about you?
