Chapter Nine

~ Emerson ~

“When I’m with you, I almost forget I’m on this huge ship on this even more enormous body of water.” I was leaning my crossed arms on the boat’s railing and watching as we pulled into port. Chase stood beside me, his hand rubbing up and down my back.

I knew he was comforting me as I confronted my fear, standing out here in the wind and facing what most scared me. Well, not most, I suppose. I mean, I wasn’t in the water. He did that for me. Made me brave. Like last night when I’d told him I wanted him. I couldn’t imagine ever saying that to another man. Of course, I’d never felt what I did for Chase when I was around other guys. Just the idea made me shudder. It was only Chase.

I loved him.

And not because he’d given me the best oral of my life. The only actually, but that was beside the point. It was just…I loved him. It had started in Vegas and grown while we’d been apart, and now on this cruise…

He did everything for me. His every thought seemed to be for me and how I felt or how I’d react, what I’d like or dislike. I knew that couldn’t go on forever. I mean…real life. Reality meant we’d have to go our separate ways soon. He’d have to worry about his company in Nevada, and I’d have to go back to my coding job at the security firm in Chicago.

Maybe, that’s why we didn’t do more last night. I mean, I think he said it was because I deserved more or better or something. I was a little fuzzy on that. But all I knew was I’d slept better the past couple nights in his arms than I ever had before. Shocking, considering we were on a floating deathtrap.

“What’s wrong?” he asked after the silence between us had stretched for a while.

“Nothing. I just told you things are great when I’m with you.”

“And then you went deep in your head.”

I shrugged. My drama was my drama. I didn’t want to scare him, and I wasn’t so sure telling him I loved him was a good idea. I know we haven’t been together long, Chase, but I’m super in love with you. I want to have your babies.

Babies? Oh God…

“What are we doing today?” I asked.

“Checking out the jungle. Getting the Bob Marley Experience in Montego Bay, where we’ll get to do some shopping, too, if you want.”

“No alcohol?” I said.

“I’m pretty sure they won’t let you do the jungle thing if you’ve been drinking—and I don’t think they’re offered in-flight.”

“In flight?”

* * * *

Chase slung his arm around me as we sat close together on the chairlift that was cruising along over and through the jungle canopy, “in flight”. Lush green surrounded us and even on this sunny, warm day offered cool relief. And we weren’t at all near the beach.

I felt a little guilty about that. I mean obviously Chase liked water or he wouldn’t have booked a cruise for us.
