Rex’s words touched her soul and went straight to her heart, mending the cracks she thought would never heal. She couldn’t change the past. Despite all the ups and downs in her marriage, in her heart of hearts, she knew Jim would want her to be happy. Tessa took a leap of faith and gave in to the thought that second chances were possible. She gave herself freely to the passion of the kiss, not wanting it to end.

Rex’s large warm hand smoothed over her bottom, bringing her in closer, melting her to him. Oh dear, her body tingled in places she’d forgotten existed. Rex slowed the kisses, nibbling her lips, then feathering kisses along her jaw.

He inhaled long and deep. “I’ve wanted to kiss you for so long,” he whispered on an exhale. “Thank you.”

Tessa rested her head on his chest. The sound of his beating heart was a comfort she hadn’t expected. His words echoed through her mind.

She lifted her head and stared into his passion-filled eyes. “You meant what you said, didn’t you?”

He cupped her cheek, then kissed the tip of her nose. “Every word. I’m in love with you.” He brushed soft kisses across her cheek. “I don’t expect you to return the endearment today, but someday…”

Tessa put a finger to his lips. “I’m falling in love with you. But there’s something…” she swallowed the hard lump in her throat. She had to be honest with him, and there was one thing that might destroy all the happiness she was feeling. She wanted to tell him, she truly did, but what if he pushed her away? “It may be too soon, but Bernie said I should trust you.”

Rex eyed her with uncertainty. “Tessa, talk to me.”

It wasn’t the first time he’d said that to her. Breathe, just breathe.

“I don’t know if I want more children. It still hurts so much and…” She hiccupped on a sob, and her chest ached. “I can’t lose…”

Rex brought her into him, stroking her back. “I understand. I am okay with not having children of my own.”

“But you’ll be missing out.”

“I have a nephew and two nieces to spoil.” Rex lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him. “Children won’t make my life complete. You will. I just want you.”

“But—”

Rex silenced her protest with another searing kiss, setting her entire body aflame.

“I just want you,” he whispered against her mouth as the kiss softened before he pulled back. He rested his forehead against hers. “Nothing has to be decided today. One step at a time.”

“That’s what Bernie said.”

He lifted his head and smiled. “Who do you think I learned it from?”

“Must be a family trait.” Tessa allowed the joy she was feeling to flow through her soul. He was right, nothing had to be decided today. For the first in a long time, she just wanted to enjoy the moment and not think about everything that could go wrong.

The wind picked up, sending currents of cold air swishing about them. White puffy clouds drifted over the cove, blanketing the town like freshly fallen snow.
