or I’ll let him go.
The rest of the evening flew past in a blur. All Evangeline could think about was being back in Eric’s arms. Soon, they were saying their goodbyes. She kissed every member of her family and thanked them for their support. Arabella promised to call her in a few days and she told Angelique and Nanette to make themselves at home and not to wait up, she wanted to spend a little more time with Eric before she gave him up for the night. Nanette had said there was no spell, but Evangeline was afraid that the light of day would change things.
As they walked to the car, Eric took her hand. “I don’t want to take you home.”
“I don’t want to go, but I have to, eventually. Why don’t we go somewhere for coffee, that is if you want to?”
“Oh, I want…but I’ll take what I can get’
“How about Kerby Lane over on Guadalupe, it’s open twenty four hours?” Evangeline named a popular local chain located across from the university and very near her house.
“Kerby Lane it is.”
“Thank you, Eric.” She brought his hand to her lips and kissed it.
“God, you are nothing like Jessica.” Eric’s voice was rough. At the mention of another woman’s name, Evangeline’s heart tightened.
“Is Jessica the beautiful woman you were with tonight?”
“Yes, that was Jessica.” She was trying to read him, but her own emotions were in such a state of flux that she couldn’t concentrate.
They had arrived at the car and as he opened the door, she stopped him. “Eric, I can talk to her. If Jessica is who you want…”
“Hell, no,” he towered over her. She was trembling. But she had to understand.
“But you just admitted that I’m nothing like Jessica. And I’m not. She was fabulous looking…” Evangeline was remembering how well endowed Jessica had been, and she had no illusions about her own looks, especially her less than ample bosom.
“You have nothing to be jealous about. Jessica and I were over before tonight. She found no pleasure in my bed, she was seeking comfort elsewhere.”
Evangeline couldn’t stop herself. She put her arms around his waist and pulled him close. “I’m so sorry. No man should ever have to go through that. But it was her fault, not yours.”
He chuckled. “Thanks for the vote of confidence. But, how could you possibly know that?”
“Because,” she was about to tell him that he had brought her pleasure hundreds of times, but how would that sound? He probably already thought she was certifiable.
“I know how you make me feel.”
“How many hours until your grandmother goes back to New Orleans?” She could feel his arousal, nestled against her. She wanted to strip him where he stood and give them both relief, but she stepped back, biding her time.
“I enjoy my family, but I’d rather be with you. Let’s go get that coffee”
The drive to Kerby Lane was an intimate one. It was nearly midnight and it had been the best night of her life—and it wasn’t over. “Which fire station are you assigned to?” she asked knowing there were several in the city.
“I’m at the one closest to downtown. I live in one of the Railway Condos on 4 th street.”
“I rent a house in Hyde Park. I was lucky to find it; there is a building out back that I converted to a studio.”
“I know I’m prejudice, but your work is fantastic.”
“Thanks, I had this incredible model.” She teased him. “With a body like yours, it was a pleasure to mold the clay, pretending that I was caressing your body, lovingly shaping . . . .”
“Evangeline!” He laughed. “You’re going to make me wreck!”
“Okay, I’ll be good.”
“I bet you are.” All he could think about was what she would be like in bed.
She didn’t always pick up on other people’s thoughts. She had trained herself to block them out. But that thought Evangeline heard loud and clear. He was wondering what kind of lover she would be. That sobered her. He was expecting experience and all
