Sarah

Bursting with laughter, Ryan and I stumble into a studio flat near Las Rambla.

“I cannot believe you ‘know a guy’ with an empty apartment.” I shake my head. “Just like you knew a guy who could get us tickets to the football match.”

“When you spend the better part of a decade in the military, you get to know a lot of people.” Ryan grins, and I swear the air around us turns up a degree or two. “I can’t believe you won a beer drinking contest. And that you picked a fight at the match.”

“That woman was being impossibly rude. How low do you have to stoop to steal a free T-shirt from a small child?”

“Luckily, you were there to slay the dragon and get it back for him. With a little more training, you could put me out of a job.”

I wave off the remark, though my heart bursts at his compliment.

It really has been an incredible day. We arrived in Barcelona just after noon. After grabbing a bite to eat at a cafe and strolling through the markets, we started up to Parc Güell. Then Ryan found a payphone and made a call. An hour later we were sneaking into the FC Barcelona game.

We finished our evening by sharing a bottle of wine and tapas at another restaurant. Ryan told me about growing up in a small town in eastern Washington state. I told him about the years I spent at university in England, and the taste of anonymity that came with them. He tells me about following his father into the military. I tell him about being the only daughter in a family of boys. He tells me about his mom’s peach pie. I tell him about my favorite spot in the palace gardens.

There are people I have known a lifetime who know me less than this man. There is no one who makes me feel more at peace.

There is only one thing I want—one thing I need at this moment. He is standing in front of me with a glass of water.

I take the glass from his hand and set it aside. He eyes me curiously, but I don’t give him a chance to speak. I throw my arms around his neck and pull his mouth to mine. He jolts in surprise. For a moment I worry he will push me away. But his arms come up and wrap around me. Moving up and down my back, over every curve of my body.

My lips part, and our tongues meet. I moan as one of his hands lowers, grabbing my derrière, pulling me close enough to feel his hard length against my belly. My fingers dive into his cropped hair, and I know this will not be enough.

I want—need—him all.

My hands lower to the waist of his pants. I palm him through the fabric as I reach for the button.

He jerks back. “Sarah . . . Princess . . . Sarah. We can’t—”

“You said that for today we could be Ryan and Sarah.
