Excerpt
Nessa’s body melted as his deep and lusty French accent washed overher, penetrating her deepest fantasies. “My name is…”
“Vanessa. I know.” He answered. He stepped forward, pulling a gloved hand out from within his coat. “My name’s Daniel.”
Nessa assumed since the town on the edge ofthe valley had a small gathering, her presence hadbeen known
within a few hours of her arrival. She looked down athis extended hand and contemplated taking it. Whenthey
touched, it was final. Her whispering dreams of him would become real. Allher fleeting thoughts of him would be
physical.

touched, it was final. Her whispering dreams of him would become real. Allher fleeting thoughts of him would be

Her drive to be captivated by him drove her tiny hand into his. A chill travelledher arm as she realized how cold
his hand was even through the leather glove. Her hospitality and caring naturewon out over everything else she was feeling. “Come to the house. Sit by thefire and warm up. I’m sure Richard and Sylvia would like to thank you also.” Secretly, she wanted to keep him close to her.

“I’m sorry, but I must decline.” His voice held a layer of regret. “I’m not comfortable around people. I’ve been alone for a long time.”
Nessa bowed her head, hiding her disappointment. “Maybe we could just sit andtalk for a bit then.”
Daniel’s hand came to rest on her cheek. His thumb under her chin, he pulledher face up till his beautiful eyes met hers again. “As much as I
would love to…” He looked towards the horizon, the sun barely visible as it set, “Imust leave.”
would love to…” He looked towards the horizon, the sun barely visible as it set, “Imust leave.”
The pang of disappointment stabbed Nessa’s heart. She nodded, holdingherself together. The profound sadness tore through her. “I understand.”
Daniel leaned in, breathing in her scent. “I missed this.” Nessa’s bodyreacted involuntarily. She reached up on her toes and brushed her cheekagainst his clean shaven face. The fragrance of jasmine and lavender imprintedin her mind.
“Missed what?” Nessa asked, already knowing the answer, but relishing in the sound of his deep voice.
“Your smell.” He whispered, leaning his face into hers. “I haven’t smelled the incense of lilacs in far too long.”
The heat of her blush flamed bright against her skin. Sheneeded to see him again. “Daniel…” His name tastedsweet
on her lips, “…when can I see you again?”
on her lips, “…when can I see you again?”
“Very soon, ma belle.” He breathed into her ear. “For now, remember me in your dreams.”
