Ms. Whitney forwarded my itinerary to me and I will be on your doorstep early evening April 25th. My fiancé, Sebastian, will be accompanying me and staying for a few weeks to help me get settled before he leaves for an apprenticeship in Concord, MA.
He'slooking for work while in Harrington, either restoration work or construction. If you know of anything or could point me in the right direction, that would be most appreciated.
I look forward to meeting you and your family, Mr. Dupree, and getting the chance to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Lark
I didn't expect a return email so quickly, but while I worked on my homework my laptop buzzed with an incoming message.
Lark,
I disagree with your opinion on your perception. Your work is inspired.
My wife, Saffron, owns a house right on Harrington Bay and we’llput you up there. We live two miles away. She will be contacting you shortly. ; )
I'mnot thrilled with you living there alone, though Harrington is very safe, so if there are no objections with you we'dlike for Reaper, our German shepherd, to stay with you. He'sa great companion and an excellent guard dog.
Regarding your fiancé, my brother Broderick is restoring a house right here in Harrington and he is always looking for more hands. If you forward me Sebastian'semail address, I will send it along to Broderick.
My family and I are very much looking forward to meeting you, Lark. Please drive safely and we will see you early evening, April 25.

I sat there for a few minutes re-reading Logan's message. A knock came at my door.“Come see this,” I said to Bastian as he entered.
He stopped just behind me to read from over my shoulder.“He sounds like a good guy.”
“So, I'll forward your email onto him?”
“Yeah, please.”
I did so before logging off. I had final exams tomorrow and Friday and after, I had a week's break before Bastian and I took off for Maine.
“Are you ready for your exams?”
“Yeah, more ready for the whole week we'll have together after.”
The words had barely passed my lips when Bastian pulled me to my feet and kissed me, full on the mouth. He gripped my hips and pressed me up against him. Reaching for his shirt, I lifted it up to expose his magnificent abs and chest. I tossed the tee behind me and ran my hands over the hard muscles of his stomach.
“No one's homeBastian,”I whispered before brushing my lips over his dragon tattoo.
He growled as he lifted me into his arms. He dropped me onto the bed before he walked to the door and flipped the lock. Seeing him, his hard, muscled body in all of its inked beauty had my heart pounding nearly out of my chest because my mind was already thinking about all the fabulous things this boy was going to do to me. He pounced, covering my body with his own.
“You look a bit wicked, Lark, what are you thinking about?”
“How much I want you inside me.”
Speaking of wicked, the look he gave me in response literally had my toes curling. He said not a word as his touch moved up my stomach, his lips following the trail of his hand. When his mouth settled over mine, I lost all ability for rational thought and just went with instinct.
My tongue ran along his lower lip before I dipped it into his mouth as my hips lifted and I rubbed myself against him. He worked my shirt up over my head and I had just a moment to enjoy the wild look of him before his mouth closed over my breast through the silk of my bra. He popped my other breast free and rolled the nipple between his fingers. His dark head lowered, spreading kisses over my ribs and stomach before he reached for my jeans and pulled them down my body. His tongue dipped below the waistband of my panties as he gripped the silk and drew them from me too.
He stood at the foot of the bed to yank his jeans off and it was a sight I knew I would never grow tired of seeing. I reached for the condom and moved to just in front of him. Steadily, I rolled it onto the hard length of him. He grinned before his arm wrapped around my waist and his mouth covered mine. In the next minute, I was flat on my back and he was settled between my thighs. He pushed into me just as his tongue plunged into my mouth, mirroring the movement of his hips. I felt myself coming apart and wrapped my legs around him, urging him to go deeper. I came hard. A few more thrusts and he came too, my name ripping from his throat as he did.

Two days later my exams were over. The moment felt bittersweet, because though I didn't love school, it was sad and strange to be leaving that part of my childhood behind.
