Chapter Twenty-Seven

GRETCHEN

The limousine sped through the streets of Winterburg as I sipped champagne in between kissing the most amazing man I had ever met.

“Where are we going?” I uttered, glad I had gone with nude lips that evening, considering how much we were kissing.

His lips curved into the smile I adored as he gazed back at me.

How did I get this lucky?

He was gorgeous, but also addictive on another thousand levels.

He leaned back against the leather seat and ran a hand through his hair, the other entwined with mine.

“Somewhere different. You missed prom so…” He shrugged, looking down.

I rolled my eyes and savoured my champagne as the cold bubbles made their way down my throat. I can’t remember feeling this happy.

Cal watched me, an unreadable expression on his face.

“What?!” I giggled as I bit my lip.

He dropped his finger over my knuckles before he lifted my hand to his handsome mouth. His green eyes found mine and an electric bolt shot through my body.

I swore he had magical powers. There was no other explanation.

Voodoo maybe?

As I pondered this, the limousine slowed before coming to a halt. I stared at Cal as he smirked.

The door opened, and the chauffeur held his hand out for me to get out. As I stepped out the wind met me, taking my breath away. I gasped when I realized we were at the marina.

“Cal?!” I whirled around to him; my eyes wide as I searched his. “What are we doing at the marina?”

He chuckled as he swung me around to face the direction behind me. “We’re spending the evening on that…” he nodded to a beautiful yacht in the near distance.

It was lit up against the dark, and I squealed with excitement.

He beamed at my reaction, grabbing my hand after tipping the limo driver.

My heart thudded in my chest as I gawked at the yacht.

Roses adorned the rails that surrounded the ramp, small lanterns lining the path to it. I went to walk on it but Cal stopped me, removing first my heels, then his shoes. I peered at him, puzzled, as he winked at me.

“You need to take your shoes off before you walk aboard a yacht, my lady. It may damage the decks.”

I was relieved I wouldn’t have to navigate the yacht in heels.

I stepped up the slope and onboard.

A girl in a crisp white shirt approached me, her hair swept up into an elegant French twist, and she handed me yet another icy glass of bubbles. I thanked her and spun around to take in my surroundings.

Cal’s arms slipped around my waist as his lips brushed my neck. “Do you like it?” His voice trembled with uncertainty, very out of character for him.

I rubbed his palm and whispered how much I loved it, and he led me by the hand to a table circled by more small lanterns, candles and even more roses.

The chairs were soft, with at least room for three people on each side.

I slid into one and Cal slipped in opposite me, his eyes twinkling with happiness.
