hand and pressed his lips to the palm. “I hope you can re-learn trust in me. Because, God help me, I think I love you.”
Shock made her weak and she was grateful for the brick wall supporting her. She could only stare at him, speechless.
“Don’t you have anything to say to that, you heartless little vixen? I just told you that I think I love you.” His tone was severe but his silver eyes glinted warmly.
Joy bubbled up from her belly in a laugh as rich as honey. “You think so?”
He smiled, his eyes lighting up as if his whole soul shone through. “Yes, I very much fear it.”
“Well.” She tilted her head, a slight smile curling her lips. “I might love you too.”
“Might you?”
“I don’t know for sure yet. It will depend on how persuasive your courting is.” She laughed for a moment, then stopped as unbidden awareness of the huge, gaping chasm in their situations intruded on the moment. “But how can we re-learn to trust each other, when we never did trust each other to start with?”
His expression turned serious. “It won’t happen overnight. We have all our differences to talk over. So much to share and come to an understanding on.”
No, she decided, she would not push him away with sarcasm, nor would she distract from the moment with sensuality. Instead, she met his gaze steadily, no matter the anxiety quaking through her limbs. “Yes, we certainly do have a lot to sort out.”
“We’re both going to have to compromise and make sacrifices. But it can happen, if we both want it badly enough and are willing to work together.” He pressed her palm to his cheek. “Are you willing?”
“Yes.”
His whole body seemed to relax and his eyes shone again with warmth that was more than warmth. This time, she recognised it for what it was, unbelievable though it might be. He pulled her into his strong arms and they kissed, a long and heated kiss. After some time, they broke for air and she nuzzled her face into his jacket. Inhaling his scent, citrus, spice and something indefinably and indelibly Grey, Beth knew a sense of finally finding home.
About the Author
I have always been a daydreamer who told myself stories of love and romance set in other times and places for my own pleasure. Eventually my story worlds became so real, they demanded to be brought out of my imagination and onto the page. It gives me great joy to finally share them with you. I hope you enjoy my story world.
I am married to my own hero and we share our life with a very quirky calico cat. I have a BA in History and I love to read, both romance and scholarly history, and I listen to a variety of music from classical to reggae. But mostly I am hard at work writing my next story.
