Present Day
The elevator pings and the doors open for our floor. My heart pounds, and the butterflies in my stomach flutter.
We meet other hotel guests and staff in the corridor on the way to our suite, exchanging smiles and an occasional hola in passing, but neither of us says a word to each other. The sexual tension is heady. Iâm not sure I could speak coherently if I tried.
We enter the suite and Dawsey reaches out, grabbing me around my waist. He pulls me back to him, my back pressing against his front. I tilt my neck to the side so my hair will fall away from my neck and his lips press kisses along my skin between my ear and shoulder. My knees weaken, and itâs possible that his tight grip around my body is the only thing that keeps me from dropping to the floor.
He stops kissing my neck and reaches for my face, turning it so Iâm peering at him over my shoulder. He presses a kiss to the corner of my mouth. âI want you so much.â
âYou get to have me. Now and forever.â
Dawsey takes my hand and leads me to the bed. We stand beside it facing each other and he cradles my face with his hands as he kisses my mouth. His tongue moves slowly in a wave against mine, and I melt against him.
He stops kissing me but doesnât pull away, and I feel his lips move against mine when he speaks. âI donât mean to be presumptive but if you brought something you want to change into, now would be the time to do so. Otherwise, Iâm about to peel this dress off of you and keep you naked the rest of the day.â
âWhile being naked with you the rest of the day sounds quite appealing, I did bring something Iâd like to wear for you.â Even if itâs only for a brief moment.
âHurry, my love.â
âThatâs the same thing Frank used to say to Augustina.â
âI somehow knew that.â He gives me a quick kiss. âIâll put the donât disturb sign on the door while youâre changing. Iâd hate to have to kill someone for interrupting this time together.â
âNo, we donât want any intrusions.â
I go to my suitcase and take out the satin gown that I bought months ago, somehow knowing that I would one day wear it for my soul mate. Quickly changing out of my clothes, I slip into the vintage satin gown. It looks so much like the one Augustina wore for Frank the night he sneaked into the cottage to be with her after being apart for two and a half monthsâthe night she told him about the baby.
My heart is pounding, threatening to crack my sternum, but not because Iâm nervous. My heart is singing its love song, calling out to Dawseyâs heart. And together, theyâll beat in sync in one rhythm.
I stop just inside the doorway, not going to him right away, and give him a moment to look at me.
