Chapter Eight
“I think that’s it!”
Emily pounded down the last keystroke on the computer triumphantly as Kurt looked over her shoulder.
“You think it’s good enough?” he asked.
“I think it’s as good as we can possibly make it,” she said. “Of course, the editor will probably do some polishing up but…yeah…I think it’s ready.”
It had been a little over six months since they’d started this project. And four months since they’d started…something else.
Four months of meeting Kurt in his office or at his home when his wife had gone on one of her frequent trips. Four blissful months of letting him touch her, kiss her, caress every part of her. four months of touching him in places she’d only dreamed of for years.
And, now, with that last key stroke, it was over,
The book was finished.
“I’ll send a copy to the publisher tomorrow,” he said.
“You should send one to Dr. Schneider, the president of the University too,” Emily suggested. “I think he’d want to read it. After all, it was his idea to write this book in the first place.”
“It was his idea to make it a popular history book,” Kurt said, a peevish tone in his voice. It was the one he always got when someone else tried to take credit for even a small portion of his work.
“I would have written about Vangoh and Gaugin anyway. But, I guess you’re right. A prerelease copy would probably keep him happy.”
“Could put you on the fast track to tenure, too,” she said glancing back at him with a smile. He smiled back, that adorable blush painting his cheeks. Emily couldn’t help but think about how much she loved that blush.
Of course, as she did, something she’d learned just one day before came back to her. Something that could change everything, even more than the book being finished.
Something that she had to tell Kurt about.
“We’ll see,” he said. His hands moved from the back of her chair to her shoulders and began gently moving down her arms, giving her a gentle sort of caress.
“In the meantime,” he said in a low voice, leaning towards her. “I think we should celebrate.”
If it hadn’t been clear a moment before, the warm kiss he placed on Emily’s neck told her exactly what he wanted.
And she knew, this time she couldn’t give in to him. Not now that the book was finished. Not when she now knew that something else had changed too. Something so big that neither of them had ever really imagined it was possible.
Someone on the outside of this think Kurt and Emily had might not understand, but, the book they’d been working on together was a kind of lynch pin for them.
Oddly, she felt as though the book was part of what was keeping this secret affair a secret.
It felt as though they were working on two things at once. Both the book and their relationship. They’d kept their feelings secret because they weren’t ready to be shown to the world yet. Just like this last draft of their book had been kept away from prying eyes until this moment.
