Zale had arranged for tea sandwiches and a build-your-own-sundae bar to be delivered poolside. Her mouth had watered at the Swiss chocolate shavings, peanut butter sauce, and fresh fruit. All the sweet touches made her heart melt a little more. They made love in the pool, another new experience. The water sluicing over her breasts as Zale held her against the edge, rocking inside her like the ocean waves below, rendered her incoherent.

When it was time for Zale to make his speech, she accompanied him to the ballroom. She was all too aware of her heartbeat as he took the stage, owned it. The room was silent as his voice resonated through the space. He took the microphone off of the podium, pacing the stage as he passionately addressed each section of the crowd. He told them his personal rags-to-riches story and encouraged them never to give up on their own dreams, to lead with compassion, and to help others achieve their goals as well. Each word he spoke made her appreciate his business side even more. He’d achieved the American dream, but had never forgotten that it was the love he’d come from that helped him succeed. They parted ways with a quick kiss when the keynote speech ended. Zale was to attend a private breakout session with a handful of attendees to help them strategize new business plans.

Staying in the moment while Zale was by her side was no problem at all, but once alone she feared for her heart. Even when she opened the doors to the spa area and was greeted with the calming scent of sage, her mind wandered. No matter how lovely and attentive Zale had been, from ordering her favorite treats poolside to booking her a massage while he tended to business, she couldn’t forget that their affair had a timeframe. The fact that they simply couldn’t have a relationship was one of the reasons she’d been contented with a quick fling. There was a sense of security in knowing that Zale couldn’t break her heart after only one night—or could he? She let out a pent-up breath as the masseuse kneaded the space between her spine and shoulder blades, the place where so much of her tension gathered. They lived too far apart, had too many responsibilities and endless obligations. So why did she suddenly feel so lost?

Zale had promised to meet her at their suite, and then they could go for a late dinner. Gemma still had time to explore the resort after her spa treatments, so she shopped around the onsite store, which offered jewelry and crafts from local artisans, soaps and perfumes, and apparel. A swatch of buttery gossamer caught her eye and she parted the other dresses lining the rack to get a better look. Romantic ruffles skimmed just above the floor and framed a high hemline on the left side of the dress. The plunging neckline that stopped at the natural waist reminded her of a Roman princess.
