Excerpt:
Karise stepped forward, holding a
hand out to skim the tops of the flowers as she waded into their midst.
“Magical,” she whispered.
“Yeah,” he agreed, his voice taking
on a huskier tone.
Karise studied the field for a moment
longer before turning back to smile at Aidan. “Thank you for bringing me here.”
He took a step toward her. “You’re
welcome.”
“You may never get me out of here. I
just might decide to live right here, in this field.”
Aidan chuckled. “You might get cold
at some point. Besides, the poppies don’t last long.
This is the peak of their season.
After that, it’s just a field.”
“A field with a promise worth waiting
for,” she amended.
“Something like that.” There was a
pause. The expression on his face made Karise wonder what he was thinking. She
was pretty sure that whatever it had been, it was more than his suggestion that
they pick a spot to eat, which were the next words out of his mouth.
Karise only nibbled at the food he
spread out in front of them. Her mind was racing in too many different
directions, and her stomach had way too many butterflies for food to be a top
priority. She listened as Aidan talked about how this field had inspired many
of the designs used in his marketing material. The gentle cadence of his voice
was like a caress. She couldn’t keep her eyes off of him – all of the excuses
she’d been hiding behind faded away a little more with each syllable that fell
from his lips.
Aidan paused mid sentence to eye her warily.
“Is everything okay?”
Karise nodded. “Yes, sorry. Go on.”
“Am I boring you?”
“Quite the contrary.”
“You’re killing me, Karise. What is
it?”
She hesitated then took a deep breath
and threw caution to the wind. It’s possible she leapt at him. She couldn’t be
entirely sure. All she really knew was that she was right where she wanted to
be now: in his arms. His surprise quickly gave way to eager acceptance as he
met her kiss with one of his own. He was salty and sweet at once. The hint of
sandpaper on his jaw grazed her soft skin. A low growl of longing rumbled deep
in his throat as he pulled her more firmly on his lap.
