While Beau was nearly naked, I was fully clothed. I stepped back and was about to remove my shirt when he put his hands on mine. “Wait.”
“Wait?” I practically shrieked. I couldn’t possibly have misunderstood the note he’d included with my bra and panties, nor when he said I was usually naked in his dreams.
“Hear me out.”
I took another step back, willing myself, again, not to cry.
“I want nothing more than to finally fulfill all the fantasies I’ve had about being with you. However, if you remove your clothes now, it is unlikely I will be willing to let you dress again today or perhaps even tomorrow.”
That sounded good to me, but I knew what he meant. I wouldn’t have time to visit the church, where I hoped to learn more about Cena, or meet with the attorney this afternoon. We had to leave Wednesday. If we didn’t, there would be no one to open Stave after the break.
Beau closed the space between us and cupped my cheek. “Make no mistake, my darling, I will make you mine.”
I shuddered with the intensity of his words.His. But for how long? I shook my head. I couldn’t think about that now.
His brow furrowed. “No?”
“No. Wait. I mean, yes. I want you to…you know.”
Beau grinned. “Say it.”
“Make me yours.”
He leaned forward and nuzzled my neck. “Go and shower. Do not come out until you are fully clothed. And by that, I mean wearing my gift under your outfit. It will drive me mad, knowing you are.”
“You do remember we’re going to church this morning?”
He groaned. “Of course I do. And, while we’re there, I expect the deities will reward me generously for my remarkable willpower.”
I shook my head. “No deities. Just one God.”
“Do you attend church regularly, Samantha?”
“I used to when my mom was alive. It was important to her.”
“I can understand why it would have been.”
I wanted to ask if his family had a church they regularly attended, but now wasn’t the time. As it was, both Beau and I would have to hurry through our showers if we wanted to make it to the church by nine.
While I briefly considered we could save time by showering together, I immediately nixed that idea. That was the last thing it would do.
“Wow,”I commented when Beau walked out of the bedroom in his suit after I’d finished my shower, dressed, and was waiting for him.
“Yeah?” he asked, straightening his tie.
I rolled my eyes. “Yes, Beau, you are very handsome and particularly distinguished looking.”
“Distinguished? Is that a euphemism for old?”
I decided not to dignify his question with a response since, per usual, he was only fishing for compliments. “Come on, let’s go, or we’ll be late.”
Thankfully,there was only one church we could find on Woodard Road and its service started at nine. We pulled into the parking lot with more than twenty minutes to spare.
“I’d ask if you’d like to walk around, but it seems much colder this morning than it was last night.”
I agreed. The temperature had to have dropped twenty degrees at least. I’d never traveled to a place where it got this cold, not even to the mountains in California. “You said your family skied in Colorado?”
“Yes. In Aspen.”
