Excerpt
Riley closed her eyes and
let the heat of the water engulf her tired muscles. Resting her head
against the bath pillow, she cleared her mind. The steam seeped out
from the bubbles and swirled around the room. Soon the mirror and
windows were fogged and a scented mist surrounded the bathroom,
creating a relaxing atmosphere. A week’s worth of sleepless nights
had taken their toll and Riley drifted off.
The
squeak of the faucet and the silence that followed distracted her
tranquil thoughts. She opened her eyes to find him sitting on the
edge of the tub looking at her. For a moment, she felt
self-conscious. She glanced down and discovered her body covered in
thick, white bubbles. He couldn’t see anything but the tops of her
shoulders, neck, and face.
“Sorry,”
he said. “I was afraid the water would overflow.”
“Am
I awake?”
He
shook his head. She noted his green eyes sparkled even in the dim
lighting of the bathroom.
“Well,
then how—”
“It’s
complicated.” His thin, pink lips formed a small smile. “I can’t
explain now.”
“Why
not?”
“There
isn’t enough time to make you understand while you’re in your
current state. We need much more time. You can get that for us.”
“Are
you real or am I crazy?”
“I’m
very real, just stuck between realms. I’ve been waiting for you for
a long time.” He slid off the side of the tub and knelt down on the
floor. “I’m afraid I can’t stay very long. I keep trying to
figure out how to increase the length of my visits but nothing seems
to work.”
“I
don’t know you.”
“You
will.” He reached for the clip in her hair. “May I?”
She
nodded.
Once
he’d freed her hair from its confines, he smoothed the damp locks
out with his hand. “I like when you wear it down. It’s so
pretty.” He continued to stroke her hair. “You’re just as
beautiful as I remember.”
“How
do you know me?” She shifted her position to face him. She breathed
in his crisp scent. He smelled of spice, maybe a hint of cinnamon.
“I…”
He trailed off when his gaze caught her exposed breasts. He looked
lost in a distant memory.
When
she’d turned to face him she’d upset the bubbles shielding her.
Her nipples hardened as she watched him take in her flesh. She no
longer felt embarrassed.
“I
have to go.”
“You
keep leaving me. I don’t like it.” Each time he left, he took a
small piece of her with him.
“That’s
why you need to find me.” He leaned forward. “I know you can.
You’re very powerful.” He brushed his lips against her mouth. A
rush of warmth coursed through her and settled between her legs.
“Find me, Riley.” He kissed the corner of her mouth, lingering a
second longer than usual. She took the opportunity to run her tongue
along his soft lips. “Find me now.”
“How?”
She wanted more than anything to find this man. “What do I need to
do?”
“Tucker…”
he whispered.
“What?”
Riley slipped off the bath
pillow and under the cold water. She quickly sat up and looked
around. The bubbles had evaporated into the freezing water.
Did she turn the faucet
off? Or did…
I
must be crazy.
She thought for a moment.
Her mystery man had left her a big clue tonight. Now she needed to
figure out what Tucker Sparrow had to do with any of this. It looked
as if she would be paying a visit to a man she hadn’t seen in a
decade.
