The Resolution

by Michelle Lindo-Rice

  Geneva rolled her eyes.

  Isabella cracked up. “I’m just messing with you.”

  Joshua pulled Geneva into his arms. “We’ll move into the honeymoon suite after the ceremony. I hope you’ve seen enough of Jamaica because I’ll be doing my own personal sightseeing in that room. I’m going to take you places you never knew existed.”

  Geneva swallowed. “Oh my. I’m ready to go right now.”

  He smiled. “Name the place. I’ll take you there. That will be my New Year’s resolution.” The tenderness in his voice warmed Geneva’s heart.

  She looked into Joshua’s dark eyes filled with sensual promise. “I have no doubt you will,” she said in a raspy voice. Geneva licked her lips. “But first, let’s breathe together.”

  “Oh yes, we must do that.” He sighed. “Side by side.”
