"Oui, it's very nice. You did that for me?" A slight pink flushed over her cheeks. Emmanuelle was not used to all this kindness, and the fact that Sam had her in mind while he did that? It was very sweet of him.
The kiss. Oh goodness that kiss took her breath away. It was perfect, it was exactly what she wanted and needed. It was a good thing his hand found the small of her back because she felt weak in the knees. Fingers trailed lightly down his neck and laced into his shirt as she found herself flush against him. Lips curled into a tiny smile as he agreed with her simply. He was absolutely perfect in her mind, he was patient, he was sweet and kind. He was everything men from her era were not.
Tilting her head up, blue eyes studied him from this proximity. Emmanuelle knew in the back of her mind that she really did want this. She wanted to be with him, she wanted to trust him and let him into her life; it was her highly cautious and distrusting side that prevented anyone from getting close. In the back of her mind she was thanking whatever higher power allowed her to push aside that distrusting part of her and show this side of her. It was a side that Emmanuelle never thought she was see again.
Even as they stood in the foyer of her cabin, Emmanuelle felt completely at ease and knew this was what she wanted.
