Chapter Nine

After lunch, Tucker led the way along a trail of rare and beautiful plants, steering Gwen far away from the lake, the ocean, and the hot springs—anything that might trigger another water memory. They held hands all afternoon, returned to the Haus for dinner, and then strolled the grounds again afterward.

The sun had dipped out of sight by the time they traveled up the winding path to the orchard. She leaned against a sturdy tree trunk and smiled at him. The perfection of their time together washed over him. He didn’t want to remember anything else or contemplate a life beyond the island. He simply wanted to continue living every moment in her sweetness and enjoying their simple pleasures.

Resting his hands on the thick branches on either side of her, he stepped toward her, inhaling the apple fragrance surrounding them.

She traced her fingers over the scruff on his face. “I’ve yet to see what you look like clean-shaven.”

Once she did, would the resemblance to his brother trigger her memory? “Don’t hold your breath. If you wanted a pretty boy, you picked the wrong fiancé.”

Her smile didn’t waver. “I’m happy with the one I’ve got.”

Warmth and guilt spread through him. She might be happy now, but that would all disintegrate once she realized she really did have another fiancé—one she’d actually chosen. “I could make you happier.”

“Really? How so?”

“Like this.” He leaned in until his lips brushed hers. With his arms braced against the tree, he pushed himself away but couldn’t resist returning to her promised sweetness. He angled in, resting his mouth against hers, soaking in her short, wispy breaths.

As he caressed her bottom lip with his tongue, she shivered.

“Good?” he asked, perilously close to trembling from a simple, closed-mouth kiss. Gwen turned even the smallest, most incidental touch into a momentous act worthy of savoring.

She nodded, her eyes wide and glassy.

He bent his head to taste her again. Surrounded by pungent apple scent, he melded his mouth to hers and kissed her with a longing that welled from deep inside.

Tangling his tongue with hers, he drank in her soft moans, aching with the growing need to experience her in every way, to love her thoroughly, to truly make her his.

“Tucker,” she whispered.

“Hmm.”

“Did we ever kiss like this before? How could I not remember something so wonderful and amazing?”

Shit. Of course, their perfect romance was too good to be true. “I don’t know how you can’t remember. I guess if you could, we wouldn’t have had to spend a week here.”

He shoved away from the tree and turned from her. He couldn’t build something from nothing as long as she tried to rediscover what had never existed.
