Chapter 6

Emeline felt herself being cradled as she and William lay down together. Neither said a word for quite some time as they recovered from their lovemaking. She was mentally shaken, almost as much as her hands shook from the intensity between them. Blown away by the bonding between them that Eve had suggested, she lay silently thinking about the day’s events leading up to what just happened. She was married. Married and stuck in colonial New England. Disrupting her thoughts, she heard William apologize softly as he kissed her neck.

“Why did you say you were sorry?”

“I broke my promise to you. We haven’t been married a day. I feel pretty regretful that I did, however…” he broke off suddenly, grinning. He gave a light squeeze as she lay there.

“Yeah, it was pretty awesome. Wasn’t it?” Emeline giggled.

“Pretty awesome doesn’t describe it,” William agreed, sounding a bit odd using the terms she just used.

“Thank you,” Emeline whispered. She was embarrassed as she reflected on her yanking his hair, panting like a dog and then yelling like a banshee. “I’m sorry I pulled your hair.”

His laughter shook them both as he held her tightly. “I’m not. I hope I give you cause every night to pull my hair like that repeatedly,” he teased.

“Well I don’t want you to end up bald either,” she teased, locking her fingers with his.

“True,” he admitted chuckling and kissed her cheek. “I like that we can laugh. This is a good start in our life together, Mrs. Spencer.”

“It’s a great start, Mr. Spencer.”

Emeline lay there for some time in the dark, listening to the silence around them and his even breathing. There were so many thoughts whirling around in her mind, it was keeping her awake. The idea that Eve had been listening to them bothered her tremendously. Actually, that downright freaked her out for some reason. It wasn’t enough to have her popping into a different time period. But the fact that she listened when they had nookie? That was wrong on so many levels!

She wondered just how far into the American Revolution they actually were. It seemed pretty peaceful right now, even with the soldiers earlier in the night. She guessed it was pretty early in, but how do you ask that question? How good was her memory from high school history? Had any battles started? Didn’t they tar and feather people? What about the tea party? While it might be fascinating to witness history in the making before her very eyes, the idea of going anywhere near the harbor held absolutely no appeal after being yanked under the ocean’s water. Honestly, she was a little “gun shy” if you could call it that. Were they in danger?

So many questions, so many different outcomes. What if she said something that caused an alternate path in the timeline and they ended up British instead of the United States? How deep entrenched was William in the rebellion? Eve said she had a purpose. However, she didn’t tell her what that purpose was.
