Book Excerpt
That familiar terror and anxiety
gripped me. On the surface, the deep
rift that I had torn between Michael and me last winter had healed, but I knew
that some cuts were still raw and bleeding.
I bit my lip and hid my face in the pillow.
“Hey.” He touched my chin gently until I turned my
head again. “Come on. Don’t shut me out. I want to know all about it.”
“Sometimes
I’m not so sure,” I said quietly. “I
think it’s easier to pretend it never happened.”
“No,”
Michael said, finality in both his tone and his mind. “We know that we’ve got to be completely open
with each other—or things go wrong. I
didn’t mean to react that way.”
I
flipped onto my back, heaving a deep sigh.
“I can’t do this. I don’t want
you to apologize for letting me see how you really feel. Yes, it hurts me to see you remember. But I need you to be honest with me—like you
said, completely open. Okay?”
Michael
leaned over me, one hand on either side of my body. “Promise.”
He dropped his lips to touch mine lightly at first, and then he sunk
deeper, pressing his chest against me.
My arms moved around his neck automatically, pulling him closer. With a soft groan, he rolled over me, laying
on the bed and never breaking the kiss.
The heat between us built, and I ran my hands over Michael’s back,
feeling the muscles that came from years of working at his family’s
nursery.
When
Michael fell back onto the bed, we were both breathing heavily. In the wake of our separation, the physical
relationship between us was still a little tentative. It was no less intense, but neither of us was
ready to push the boundaries we had set from our earliest days together.
