Jillian's Promise

by Kristin Noel Fischer

  “I don’t know. I’ve never tried.”

  He chuckled, the sound rumbling in his chest. Then he pulled me close, and I ignored everything except my body against his. I closed my eyes and rested my head on his solid chest. My insides tingled from my toes to the top of my head.

  Lowering his hand, he pressed it to the small of my back. “Is this okay?”

  I nodded and held onto the moment. The band played Earth Angel, and my heart burst with elation because from that moment on, I knew I would love Jude Kingsley forever.

  I just wasn’t prepared for what that love would cost me.
