Excerpt:
She
stared out at the water. “It’s so beautiful.”
He
wouldn’t know. All he could see was her. All he could think of was the way
she’d been this morning while he’d moved inside her. No one, nothing, compared
to the woman standing in front of him. This was becoming more and more apparent
as the hours ticked by. But he already knew that, which was why every moment
with her was equal parts euphoria and agony.
Damn, his
throat felt tight as hell. He cleared it. “Yeah, I always thought it was a nice
spot.”
She shook
her head, glancing at him over her shoulder. “Nice? That word does not
adequately describe this place.” She lifted her hand to shield her eyes. “Did
you used to swim down here?”
“All the
time.”
Her grin
was back. “I say we eat then take a dip.”
He didn’t
get a chance to answer, because she’d already taken the blanket out of his
hand—the picnic blanket—and was
laying it out on the ground. Lucy was right, this was romantic. He hadn’t
planned for it—didn’t know the damn meaning of the word—he’d simply wanted to
show her a place that was special to him before their journey ended.
She
plonked down on ground, legs crossed under her. “So what did you get us?”
The light
breeze ruffled her dark hair, eyes bright with happiness. It was good to see.
She hadn’t looked like her old self since she’d been back. And, fuck, so much
had changed in the last forty-eight hours that he’d give anything to know what
put those shadows in her beautiful green eyes. Anything, to be the one to seek
out the source and fucking annihilate it.
“Dude,
I’m dying of starvation here.”
He’d been
standing there staring at her. “Ah…yeah, just some sandwiches.”
She
patted the spot beside her. “Well, come on then. Hand it over.”
For some
crazy reason, he felt nervous. He’d never done anything like this with a woman.
He was well aware that made him a major asshole and seriously pathetic. But he
was kind of glad the one and only time he’d do stuff like this—romantic stuff—it
was with Lucy.
Dropping
down on the blanket beside her, he handed over the bag, watching as she pulled
everything out and laid it down between them. It was a simple act, but he was
damn near mesmerized by her. Gut in knots. They were like a normal couple,
weren’t they? This was the kind of thing that couples did. Spent their night
together, sleeping together,
laughing, joking, fucking. Eating a goddamn picnic lunch together. This was the
only taste he’d get of that kind of life. How many times would he hear about
Lucy and some other guy after this was all over? How many times would he be
confronted with it? Seeing her with boyfriends—one day a husband.
