CHAPTER 12

“How exciting,” Jane said, following Jestyn as he went quickly to a side door that led to a corridor and then up a dark wide staircase.

Jestyn was fulfilling Jane’s wish to find the clothes Jestyn had worn when he posed for the portrait.

When they reached one floor they continued up to the next one. Once at the attic door Jestyn stood aside for Jane to enter. Jestyn had led Jane to the second of the two large attics.

“It’s huge,” Jane said, glancing around. “And it’s dustier than the other one!”

Jestyn placed the candle rack on a dusty table and looked around. “There are a few trunks with old clothes. “Come over here, Jane, I think this is the trunk that held the clothes from that portrait, for it’s a trunk where Cedric and I stored clothes.”

Jane hurried over and shifting through the clothes soon found what she wanted.

This is what you wore,” she replied excitedly. “You looked to me like a knight in shining armor in that portrait,” Jane touched the clothes in wonder and placed the velvet jacket softly to her cheek. She shifted through the rest of the clothes. There was a musty smell to the silk and velvet but ignoring it she slid her hand over the shirt and dark vest and again put them to her face.

“As a knight of old?” said Jestyn with a laugh. “I didn’t act like a knight when I first saw you. I bit your head off. And then it turns out you saved Cedric’s life and mine!”

“Well, I can understand,” said Jane. “From where you stood, you saw someone who appeared out of nowhere dressed like a man and carrying an alien torch – and spooked your horses. I don’t blame you for your reaction. I wish I could take these clothes back to the future with me. I love them so very much. You cannot know how much.”

Jane sighed as she re-folded the clothes and tucked them back into the trunk. She stood up and straight into Jestyn’s arms.

The past few days had been leading up to this, she thought, as cascading feelings were let loose between them. Jestyn kissed first her hair and then her mouth. Within his embrace Jane suddenly felt as though she had never embraced a man until this moment.

Jestyn kissed her as she had never been kissed before, across time. She was an alien in a strange land and yet she felt at home because Jestyn was with her, because she was in Jestyn’s arms. His broad shoulders and arms around her, Jane laid her face on his chest. She never wanted to let go. There was nothing in her life before Jestyn that could ever compare.

As Jane felt his tongue exploring the inside of her lower lip a shudder of passion rippled down her loins, down to her toes, so that her skin was suddenly hot with desire. Jestyn laid her on a pile of coverlets and unfastened the buttons of her gown.
