TWENTY-SEVEN

Beth snuggled between the strong arms that loosely held her. Her skin brushed against something luxuriously soft. Satin sheets. Her eyelids fluttered open. She took in a sharp breath as she looked up at the sinfully handsome man lying next to her. Not her husband.

Bishop David King.

Oh no! She bolted upright.

“Beth?” David’s husky voice beckoned. His capable hand caressed her arm, bringing back vivid memories of the moments of passion they’d shared just hours before. The sheet slipped from his torso as he sat up too. No man should have the right to look that good. Ach, he was without a doubt the most well put together man she’d ever seen. She quickly averted her gaze, suddenly shy.

Reality slapped her across the face. What on earth had she done? Had they done? He was the bishop over their entire district! He was God’s man! She was a happily married woman! Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

“I…I have to go.” Ach, this was a dreadful mistake—certainly an unforgivable one. She closed her eyes, willing herself to wake up. This had to be a dream. It had to be! Wake up!

“Nee, not yet, lieb.” David pulled her close and kissed her on the mouth. A sweet enticing kiss that begged her to stay in his arms. To indulge in the verboten.

Ach, she couldn’t continue this. Could. Not. Desperation gnawed at her. She forced herself away. “I need to go!”

“Nee, not now. Wait until the cover of darkness. If you go now, someone might see you.”

Panic accelerated her heart rate. “Ach, you’re right. But what about Uri? What if he returns home? What if—”

He held up a finger, silencing her concerns, then slipped from the bed. She averted her gaze again. Ach, she didn’t think she could ever look at the bishop the same way again. Not after this.

She took a deep breath. It would be okay. It would all work out. Somehow. Wouldn’t it?

He briefly stepped into his office, but stayed within her line of vision. He held a cell phone to his ear. “Jah, Joe. How’s it going?” He nodded. “Who all is with you now?” He winked at Beth. “And you’re returning home Monday, right?” He nodded again. “No, no problems. Just checking in. See you when you get back.”

David’s finger tapped the screen and he smiled. “He won’t be back till Monday.” He set his phone on the dresser and approached her. Desire sparked in his eyes as his hand trailed her shoulder. Sending what seemed like an electro-magnetic pulse to every nerve ending in her body. How did he have this effect on her?

Beth swallowed. Ach, this was so difficult. She forced herself away.

God, please let this be a dream.

“Was iss letz, lieb?”

But she wasn’t dreaming. This was very real. Tears pricked her eyes and her chin began to tremble. “David, we…we have done a terrible thing.”

“Nee, not so terrible,” he murmured close to her ear. “It was wunderbaar.”

“It’s a sin, ain’t so?”

His fingers gently combed through her hair, then his hands moved to cradle her face.
