By late Saturday afternoon it was still the status quo. My time hadn’t been my own since the day before. Antonia had also been busy with her duties, and I hadn’t really seen her except when she introduced speakers and facilitators—and this morning at breakfast.

We sat at the same table, across from each other. I noticed that a few ends of her short hair stuck out from her head, and her eyes were still heavy-lidded from sleep. The intimacy of that sent an unexpected shock of lust to my groin so strong that I started. I managed to cover it up by reaching for something on the table and making small talk with my neighbor. When I dared look at her again, she was looking at my hands. Slowly her gaze moved up to mine. Oh God. This time there was no mistaking the longing I saw in her eyes. I walked around in an erotic haze for most of the morning.

Now it was late afternoon. The rest of the time was mine as I had no more official responsibilities and could simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the company of the other participants. And think about how to get Antonia alone and in my arms.

I strolled across the front lawn and down to a small wooded area by the shore. A tree with low branches provided shade in the hot sun, and I stood with my back against it, looking out at the sparkling water. The sun was still high. Nothing moved in the still air. I could hear only faint voices behind me in the distance and the murmur of the lake swells moving slowly to and fro over the pebble beach.

I decided that I would ask Antonia to go for a walk before the string quartet performance to be held out on the lawn that evening. My stomach tightened as I imagined pulling her against me within the protection of the trees. I closed my eyes and suppressed a moan. When I opened them I almost collapsed. She was standing in front of me, the bright sun behind her casting her in shadow. She had followed me. I moved so that I could see her face, and we stared at each other, lips parted but speechless.

“Antonia? What is it?” I finally managed.

For the second time that day I saw hunger in those clear eyes, and I was mesmerized. I would have stood there forever if she hadn’t said something.

“I want to come to your room tonight,” she said in a husky voice. “After the concert. May I?”

I tried to hide my shock. In all the seduction scenarios I had created in my mind, I had never pictured her as being the one to initiate our first erotic encounter.

“Yes. Yes, I’d like that.” I almost gasped the words. My heart thudded so hard I hardly knew what I was saying.

She nodded and smiled as if she had come to a decision and had expected my yes. By unspoken agreement we both turned to walk back up to the house.
