CHAPTER SIX

KISSING Honey was like receiving manna from heaven and he drew her body closer to his, annoyed both of them were dressed in weatherproof ponchos, gloves and beanies. He wanted to run his fingers through her long and silky hair; he wanted to nibble at that delectable neck he’d caught glimpses of during the week. He wanted to have her arms wrapped around him as he took his sweet time exploring the wonders of this extraordinary woman.

Kissing her now had been a spur-of-the-moment thing, completely spontaneous, and while he was the type of man who for years, had meticulously planned everything, standing here with his mouth pressed firmly against Honey’s he couldn’t deny the appeal of following through on a thought.

He’d wanted to kiss her—so he had.

‘Nice,’ she said against his mouth, drawing the word out slowly, savouring it. ‘Who knew the simple touch of your mouth to mine would be so incredibly…dynamic?’

Edward murmured his agreement, then closed his eyes and kissed her again, wanting to commit every shared sensation to memory. He’d locked his own wants and needs away for so long but now he’d broken the drought, so to speak, he wanted to continue sampling her sweet, flavour-some lips.

It felt right holding her in his arms, even though they were encumbered by wind, rain and plastic ponchos. Something deep within him felt as though it were breaking open, a crack in the armour he’d surrounded himself with for so long while he did what had to be done. It was as though freedom was close at hand, that his reward was near, that his life would soon start to make sense. He’d be able to walk his own path, rather than following the footsteps of others.

And Honey? Did she fit into that new world of freedom he’d been searching for? Was she merely the gatekeeper to show him the way? To put him on the right path? Was there room for her to walk along beside him? The thoughts jolted Edward back to the present, his mind zinging with possibilities, probabilities and a ton of questions.

He savoured Honey’s addictive lips one last time, before pulling back, the wind having changed direction, the rain urging them to keep moving.

‘I’m happy to continue exploring every contour of your lovely face…’ He exhaled slowly, then glanced around at their present surroundings. ‘But I fear now is not the time.’

‘Or the place,’ she added as he took her hand in his once more.

‘Let’s get to somewhere drier,’ he suggested, and together they headed back onto the track. The rain had eased, the atmospheric disturbance having calmed down somewhat, and visibility was better.

Honey was elated because Edward had just kissed her. There had been no build-up, no shuffling dance towards each other. Edward had simply pulled her close and kissed her. Right out of the blue! She’d hoped that by bringing him here today, he’d have the opportunity to relax, to take some time out for himself, to do what he wanted to do.
