Oliver woke with the sun. Outside the casement, dawn spread pale orange and pink fingers into the sky.
In the night, Laura had curled into him and finally slept.
The door opened and Mother slipped into the morning to get water for breaking their fast.
Propping himself up, he allowed himself the luxury of studying the woman in his arms. In sleep, she lost the grim resolve her features had carried at the institution. She looked much younger with the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile. All things considered, she had taken the news of her changed circumstances rather well. He grinned when he remembered the confrontation between her and Mother yesterday. Dr. Laura Rose did not back away from a fight, it seems. Good, because that ability would be tested before they were done here.
He needed to return her to her time. If he trusted the sword’s magic more, he could simply pop her back and return, but the damn thing seemed to have a will of its own. He’d spent long hours in his future life trying to understand how he had ended up when he had. It had to do with the wish uttered. One, clearly, needed to be careful about the wording.
Laura muttered and stirred.
He smoothed flaxen hair back from her face. Like a wheat field, her hair held all the colors of gold and brown. They called them highlights. He’d seen it on the television, and wanted to tell her she needed no artifice to make her beautiful. To him she had always been beautiful, robbed him of coherent thought. Finally, he had her in his bed, the starting point of so many of his late night fantasies. His cock stirred.
Laura blinked her eyes open, frowned and stared about her. “So it’s real.”
“Aye.” It had taken him many mornings of waking in the future to accept the inevitable. So beautiful, her blue-green eyes clouded with confusion that he wanted to fix. Of course, his wooing of Doctor Rose might go better if she didn’t consider him completely around the bend. In a winning courtship combination, he’d followed insanity with a quick trip through time.
“You’re staring,” she said, her gaze fixed on the casement.
“I know.” He brushed the warm cream of her cheek. “You’re beautiful. I have always thought so.”
“Now you’re flirting again.” She sighed but didn’t move away from his touch.
He took that as a good sign. “Well, we are in bed together. I am naked. You have taken off part of your armor. It seemed like a good time.”
“It’s not.” She turned and looked at him. “Because when we get out of this bed, we get out into ye olde England.” She heaved a sigh. “How did you do it? Get your head around what had happened to you.”
“I stopped fighting it.” He traced the delicate, firm line of her jawbone. Where her neck and shoulder met dwelled a sweet spot he ached to bury his face in and inhale the nectar of her. “I accepted the impossible.
