He soared. Higher and higher.

Meredith was moving against him, matching his rhythm; they were joined, became one entity. A perfect mating, he thought, and it was exactly as he had imagined, had known it would be.

And as she had known too. Luc was touching the core of her, reaching to her heart, filling her as she had never been filled, not since she was a young girl…so long ago…time past. He slipped his hands under her buttocks, brought her closer to him. I want you closer still, she cried out silently, all of you, Luc, I want all of you. And she willingly abandoned herself to him.

Luc could feel his heart pounding as he moved against her, almost violently now, caught up in the rhythm of their moving bodies; their joy was mounting.

“What is it?” he asked.

“What do you mean?”

“Why are you smiling?”

“Because I’m happy, Luc.”

“This is only the beginning,” he answered, and bent over her, kissed the top of her head. “I thought I would never find you.”

“Were you looking for me?” Her voice was light, filled with happiness.

“Oh yes, ma chérie, ever since—For a long time.”

“And I’ve been looking for you, although perhaps I didn’t realize it. I was beginning to think I’d never find the right man.”

“Am I?”

“Are you what?” she teased, knowing what he meant.

“The right man, Meredith?”

“Oh yes, Luc, very much so, and in every way.”

“We’re good together, Meredith, very good. I enjoy every minute we are together, and just now, well, you gave me such pleasure, I’m still reeling. And you? Did I please you?”

“Of course. You must know that.”

“Yes, I suppose I do, but it’s nice to hear it from your lips, Meri.”

He felt her stiffen against him. “What’s wrong?

Don’t you like me to call you Meri?”

“I don’t mind,” she replied quickly, catching the note of concern in his voice. “It’s just that few people do.”

Pulling her around and up into his arms, he touched her face lightly, gazed into her bright
