THE EMAIL

Nyree plunged into work for the afternoon, too busy to think about what had happened with Tāwera. During the odd spare moment, she forced herself to ponder what she might do once the summer ended. Her job with George Taniwha & Sons challenged her, and she enjoyed her workmates and their camaraderie. It had been the one thing she’d kept, despite Ari’s unreasonable demands. Even though he’d coveted the money she earned, more recently, he’d wanted her to stay at home and start a family.

A dodged bullet.

Customers tromped into the store and kept her busy with post office duties. She sold dozens of stamps for postage to far-flung corners of the world. After her tour, which Tāwera attended again, she stocked up, ready for the following day before heading home.

“My tattoos make me stand out,” he said when they met in her kitchen.

“Perhaps a touch of makeup might disguise them,” Nyree suggested and opened the fridge to study the contents. If she focused hard, she wouldn’t try to drag his scent of green and nature and soap deep into her lungs.

“Would it mean I would fit in better?”

“Yes. You might need to cut your hair or wear it in a different style too.”

“I will think on this. What will we eat for dinner?”

“The cooks on the cruise ship gave us a supply of fresh vegetables. Keith said he has a bag for me. I’ll collect it, and we’ll work out what to have once I see the bounty.”

“I wish to fly tonight,” Tāwera said.

“Me too. We must make sure it is fully dark before we sneak out.”

“You do not seem so grumpy,” Tāwera said, and it was obvious he’d chosen his words carefully.

“No. Thank you. I did not deserve your generosity.”

Tāwera beamed. “Touching you in that way reminded me of better times when I assuaged the moonlust with Aroha and later flew with my mother.”

Nyree pushed aside the instant turmoil that occurred as she imagined Tāwera with another woman. Slippery slope. “You must miss them. Manu should’ve replied to my email by now. I’ll check after we eat. I’d better get those vegetables before Keith delivers them in person, and you need to hide.”

There, that was better. She hadn’t offered a hint of the jealous shrew.

Once Nyree returned, her inner chaos almost had her grabbing Tāwera for a repeat of earlier. It was his delicious scent. It did things to her. “I need a shower,” she muttered and strode to the bathroom without looking back.

The moonlust… For the first time since the sex with Tāwera had happened, Nyree allowed herself to pull up memories. Awe-inspiring and so unlike her interactions with Ari. The bedroom problems she and Ari had suffered hadn’t been her fault.

She wasn’t a terrible lover.

At least, Tāwera hadn’t complained.

And she had to stop thinking about sex with Ari or with Tāwera. She yanked at the shower tap and jumped under the stream of water before it warmed. Four minutes later, she was out and drying herself. She dressed rapidly and walked out to join Tāwera, her armor firmly in place.
