EXCERPT The Suspenseful Collection:
(When he ran his hands up my thigh, I…)
“Sarah.”
My name escapes him, and it sounds the exact same as it once had. After a long heartfelt hug, he holds me back at arm’s length to take a look at me.
“Wow, my love. You look as stunning as ever.”
The sound of his pet name for me pulls at a tear to the corner of my eye, and my lungs threaten to stop pulling air.
“Thank you.” I smile, completely beside myself. “As do you, babe.”
After a full sweep over of his aged but still very attractive and wanting gaze, he notices. Joshua has recognized his mother’s necklace and all formalities are out the window. His mouth opens slightly in shock and his eyes pull together at the middle.
“Oh my God, Sarah, is that?” He pauses.
I watch his eyes fill up with moisture, and I draw in a deep breath and nod.
“You kept it. All these years, you still have it?”
Again I can only manage a nod. The shock in his face is honest and genuine. We have so much to catch up on, and all I want to do is pull him in and tell him how I’ve never forgotten. His eyes are the same and the energy of his body so close to mine makes my chest scream out. If only I could turn back time…. If only, I think.
Joshua pulls my chair from around the table, so that it’s right next to his. We sit side by side, close to the window, and the waiter fills our glasses with the most perfect red wine. Softly, his hands rest on my exposed knees, his fingers wrapping around to the sensitive skin behind them. For a moment it feels as if my spirit lifts, my heart free.
I close my eyes and allow myself to be emotionally transported to a different place in time. I breathe in his scent. The hands on my legs no longer feel rough and calloused with aged. They’re young, strong, and smooth. I remember the heat of his body against mine, young and pulsating. When his hands ran up my thighs I instantly reminisce the feelings of our first night together. The night that I gave myself to this man. I gave him every part of me. Heart body and soul I gave it all. Joshua, my soldier. The man who left, but I’ve carried inside myself for over thirty years.
It was a beautiful summer day in 1961.
