Chapter Ten − A Fork in the Road

Instinct made him move. Made him step forward. Lift his arms. And catch her in his embrace.

Holding her soft body against his own, Antoine stared down at her, seeing the same shock over their encounter in the wide eyes looking up at him. Her heart beat wildly in her chest, matching his own, and the way she clung to him made him wish this night would never end.

Dimly, he remembered the countless times his father had told him that one day he would find his other half and it would be unexpected and all-consuming. It would knock him off his feet and steal the breath from his lungs.

At the time, Antoine had not believed him.

He did now.

Still, all his life he had mocked his father’s romantic notions of fate and destiny. Despite the deep love he always witnessed between his parents, he had never fancied himself a man who would tie himself to a woman with his heart and soul. And yet, as he looked down at Alexandra, he could hear his father’s words echo in his mind, An invisible bond connects you, and the closer you get to one another, the stronger the pull will become. Heed it, and you will find everything you never knew you always wanted.

Only too clearly did Antoine remember the moment they had turned away from the storm and toward the main land. Although his instincts had told him to retreat to the south, knowing that danger lurked on English territory, he had felt a strange sense of…

He could not say. It had been a desperate need to reach this shore. As though his life depended on it. As though he had known that he would find her here.

Now, she lay in his arms, looking up at him with wide eyes that held no fear, no regret, no doubt. Only longing, and desire, and an all-consuming wish to stay like this until the end of time. Could it be true? Could this be real?

Whether it was or not, Antoine could not say. However, in that moment, he could not imagine ever letting her go again.

Tightening his hold on her, he leaned down, closing the distance between them, and captured her lips with his own.

The shock of their contact vibrated through his entire body, and he spun her around, backing her against the wall of the ship. Her arms encircled his neck, pulling her closer against him, and a soft moan escaped her lips.

Overwhelmed by emotions he had never dared dream existed, Antoine dimly recalled that she was another man’s wife. Still, in that moment, he could not bring himself to care. After all, while her hand might be tied to another, her heart was his to claim.

Wrenching his lips from hers, he stared down at her beautiful face. “You feel it as well, n’est-ce pas?” he whispered, rejoicing in the deep flush that came to her cheeks as she nodded her head, tears streaming down her face, her eyes wide with utter shock.
