Chapter Twenty-two

Propped up in bed with Mitchell's arm around her, Kate watched the night sky giving way to dawn. When they'd returned from swimming, they'd showered and then discovered they were famished. The remnants of their shared feast of strawberry crepes and eggs Benedict were on the coffee table.

Afterward, they went to bed, but sleep was not what Mitchell had in mind. The fierce, demanding urgency of his earlier lovemaking was gone, and now he made love to her with slow, torrid sensuality, driving her steadily toward a final climactic destination, while detouring on previously unexplored erotic routes to get her there, whispering directions and encouragements that were as arousing to Kate as the things he was doing with her. By the time he finally let her finish, Kate was writhing wildly in his arms, frantically whispering "Please," over and over and over.

When the last spasm had shaken her, he changed the tempo of his strokes and Kate's limp body suddenly arched up like a tightly strung bow, straining toward him of its own volition while he poured himself into her. Kate heard herself moan, and she clung to him, caught up in a moment that was not only tumultuously sexual but almost fiercely spiritual.

Later on, when she looked back on it all, she might have seen herself as a naïve student who'd just been tutored by a consummate, perhaps less involved master-except that afterward, he'd gathered her against his full length and kept their bodies clamped tightly together with his face buried in the curve of her neck for a very long time, as if he'd been profoundly affected by their lovemaking, too.

Even now, as they watched the sunrise, his hand was curved around her arm, his thumb caressing her skin. They were both drowsy, the periods of silence between them growing longer, but as the sky continued to lighten, the dawn of a new day was banishing Kate's quiet euphoria and filling her with worry and fresh guilt about Evan.

She'd waited to return his phone call yesterday until she was getting dressed for the casino, because she knew Evan would be playing tennis at his club by then. She'd left him a voice mail message assuring him that she wasn't at all angry with him, that she was having a lovely time visiting neighboring islands, and that there was absolutely no need for him to worry or feel guilty about anything. Everything she told him was true, but the things she did not tell him made her message a tawdry, unforgivable deception. On the other hand, she couldn't possibly break up with him by phone, not after the years they'd been together, and especially not after he'd just brought up marriage. There were only four days left of their planned ten-day trip. If his case dragged on another day or two, he'd surely decide there was no point in flying back down to Anguilla.

Sensing her change in mood, Mitchell glanced at the woman who was responsible for the most exhilarating, fulfilling sexual experience of his life.
