“Aurora,” Jessie whispered. I couldn’t tell if I was asleep or awake. I had dreamed of Jessie so many times that I half convinced myself I was having some type of fantasy.

“Yes?” I finally managed to say when I felt him shifting above me and realized he was actually in bed with me.

“It’s almost dawn,” he said, trying to gently pull away from me.

I let out a small whimper and tried to keep him close. “So?” I said, a slight pout to my voice.

“I have to go home.” He managed to pull himself away and get to his feet.

“What happened last night?” I asked, still groggy. But the memory of the passion that had quickly faded to napping immediately popped back into my brain. “I thought we …” I paused, not sure if I should feel embarrassed, or maybe even a little hurt. “I thought you …”

“What is it, darling?” Jessie asked, sitting back down and reaching for my hand. He pressed it to his lips.

Turning my face away from him, I managed to stammer, “I thought you wanted me.”

“Aurora,” he said, taking me in his arms. “You have no idea how much I want you. In fact, it would be ungentlemanly of me to say how much.” He kissed my forehead and then the lids of my eyes. “But yesterday was a very difficult day. I was awake all day in my coffin thinking how much I hated not being able to attend Colette’s service. And then the conflict of seeing you and missing her and trying to find out about …” His words trailed off. “Well, that doesn’t matter right now, but when I took you in my arms, I felt passion coursing through me. I wanted you, every bit of you. I wanted to devour you in every sense of the word,” he told me. “But somehow, the beating of your heart mesmerized me. It’s the most beautiful sound in the world to me. I’ve just been lying here for the past several hours listening to your heart beat. It was so peaceful, so hypnotic to me.” He let out a small, rueful laugh. “It’s the closest I’ve come to sleeping in the last eighty years.”
