Erin was finally able to move. She walked the few short steps toward him. “I mean thank you,” she said. “Ariston told me all that happened.”
Michael stepped down to the beach and touched her cheek with his fingers, a question in his eyes. “You remember?”
She nodded her head slowly. “All of it. How can I tell you how sorry I am? Or thank you enough?”
He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. “You don’t have to say anything.”
He leaned down, and his lips found her mouth. His kiss sent a thrill through her whole being. She turned her head and looked into his dark eyes.
“Thank you for taking me to Domus. I think I’ve seen a bit of heaven,” she whispered.
He smiled at her. “And I followed you all the way to hell.”
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, inhaling his warm pine scent. “I’ll have to make it up to you.”
Michael laughed and kissed her again, long and leisurely, his mouth tender and warm. The tide was out, and the first stars glimmered in the eastern sky. He took her hand, and they walked up the steps to Erin’s little house.
About the Author
Jane Ralston-Brooks grew up in the suburbs of Seattle, where the nearby Cascade Mountains, Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands gave plenty of opportunities for hiking, sailing, and childhood vacation fun. Jane's grandparents built a cabin near the beach close to Anacortes, and her father's sailing adventures took the family from the cabin throughout the San Juan Islands every summer. Viator takes place just down the road from Jane's grandparents' cabin, on the same rocky, driftwood-strewn beach.
Jane writes technical and marketing copy for a tourism-consulting firm that helps transform places into successful destinations. Traveling is a big part of the job, and Jane has been all over the U.S. and Canada, as well as many spectacular places in Europe and the Caribbean.
Jane currently lives in Arizona with her husband Roger, orange kitty Gingersnap, and three scorpions.
