tucked a stray tendril of hair behind her ear. “ You’ve got to s top worrying so much, Lorna . Everything happened the way it was supposed to happen. I wish we had lived, but that wasn’t meant to be. I’m not upset with you , I don’t blame you . Don’t ever think that. I love you.”
“ I hate John for what he took away from us , ” Lorna said.
Travis led her down the sidewalk toward the House of Terror . “ It’s like I told you on the beach. We’ll have our chance again. Let’s agree right now that in our next lifetime, nothing will keep us apart . We’ll grow old and feeble together.”
“I want that more than anything.”
Lorna followed Travis inside the old house to where their room , decorated with Egyptian artifacts , once stood . S he really didn’t even want to go through the motions anymore. If it were up to her, they’d go to the light right now so they could start their next lifetime together.
“What are we going to do until midnight? The illusion of our room has been shattered. I want to make love to you and not on this rubble . ” She couldn’t even imagine her life without him , yet she had known this day could come. Hoping beyond hope that they could change their destinies , she watched Travis examine what was left of the house . Her heart was full to bursting with love. She saw the sadness in his eyes.
“I don’t want t o leave you , Lorna . ” He stopped in front of her. “ I want you as my wife and with me in the next dimension and every lifetime forever . I won’t go alone .”
“ I’ve always been yours. That will never change, regardless what happens tonight.”
“ It’ s going to work. I know it will .”
“I hope you’re right and we receive a miracle . Until then, I only want to think about how you make me feel. How your body tantalizes me. Travis , please m ake love to me again so I’ll remember this day forever. Just in case I don’t get to go with you .”
“Come here you.” Travis lifted her in his arms and carried her into the gardens in the backyard. At least this area was still well maintained .
“Do you remember our tree?” he asked.
How could she forget it? She ’d given him her virginity under that tree. It was t he place where he’d asked her to marry him.
“Yes, but it’s probably not there anymore either.”
“Let’s just see.” He walked toward the center of the five acre property until he reached an enormous ficus. The area underneath was covered in moss that his dad had planted when they’d bought the house. Travis kissed Lorna ’s shoulder as he laid her down on the soft ground.
Travis ’s mouth on her flesh was hot and moist. Chills shot through her, tweaking her nipples into hard little nubs. He kissed the hollow of her neck and s he tipped her head back to give him better access as his hand slid underneath her shirt and trailed across her abdomen. U nbutton ing the shorts , he dipped his hand inside. Parting the flesh of her pussy he caressed her clit with his finger and bent down to nibble her nipple through the shirt.
Lorna ran her fingers through h is hair . Q uivering sensations fluttered through her stomach. She closed her eyes , lost in the touch of his lips and tongue . Heat coiled between her legs.
Travis lifted her shirt and laid his cheek against her bare stomach. “ I f only we could sta y like this . ”
T onight they would be split apart for all eternity if their plan didn’t work and no one acknowledged her . The pain and loss of never touching him again broke her heart in two . Leaving him tonight would be the most difficult thing she’d ever done in life or in death . If only there was some way to stop time, to prevent the inevitable from happening.
Reaching down she cradled his head as a tear slipped down her cheek . A sob ripped from her throat .
“ Don’t worry, Lorna . ” Travis looked at her. “ Getting married will work. It has to.”
The love shining in his eyes reflected her own
