was in the midst of falling violently in love on the second date with this wonderful, unpredictable man.
MUSINGS
As Kyle walked Jessica down the hill on the long trek to the other side, he was aware of the beating of his own heart.
What’s the matter with me?
He had only meant it to be a chaste preliminary kiss on her lips, a prelude to what would come. He had wanted to lure her in with it – a promise of further temptations to come. But what shocked him was his own reaction to her.
He already knew he liked her more than he should. He liked her looks, her sweet and shy personality, her self-deprecating way of looking at things which made her seem so humble and yet so ‘help-me’ lovable. He was also berating himself for thinking about her all night until he barely slept for the turmoil and conflict which raged inside his head for what he must do to her.
I should choose someone else.
But it would be cowardly and unseemly if he should walk away now. His father had already seen her profile and declared her a suitable candidate, with a few caveats. It would be very unnatural if he went up to his father and said, “I think I’ve changed my mind about this candidate. I’m going with someone else.”
It wasn’t exactly a job hiring.
Time was running out. Plump and tempting virgins who have come of age were not exactly plentiful. Jessica as a candidate was as good as they got.
Besides, what would his brother say? Kyle could imagine the sneer on Caleb’s handsome face. “Chickening out, brother? She got to you, didn’t she? I knew you didn’t have what it takes to be Alpha.”
What it took to be an Alpha. That was exactly the point, wasn’t it? A certain amount of ruthlessness mixed with compassion and the overpowering need to put the clan above everything else, be damned with the rest of the world.
Did he have what it takes to be Alpha? Did he really want to be Alpha?
He should not ruminate about such things, of course. Being the future Alpha was his birthright as the eldest son of the Atreides first family. The eldest sons have held this position for centuries as they accumulated their wealth. The Elders have insisted that the arcane rituals they performed were essential to this wealth and continuation of their clan, and everyone did not question them. At least openly. It was like challenging their very religion and way of life itself.
No. He couldn’t fall in love with Jessica, although he was aware that he was perilously close to doing so. He didn’t think he had ever been in love before, and so he might have misread the signs. Good . Does thinking about Jessica Dent all the time constitute falling in love? No. Love involved a measure of time . One didn’t fall in love with someone on second date. He was probably in lust with her.
Yes, that was it.
He would have to restrain his urge of wanting to touch her all the time, to run his hands through her silky chestnut hair, to want to place his lips upon hers and imbibe her very essence. He would have to control the always building bulge between his legs whenever he was near her.
He would have to do all this if he was to be Alpha one day.
THE AFTERGLOW
The picnic was just as lovely as the rest of the day. Kyle had ordered a picnic basket from one of the vendors at the lakeside which catered for such occasions. They spread the red and white checkered cloth under a tree and feasted on ham and pickle sandwiches, salads and caramel custard, and washed it all down with Coke.
Jessica didn’t want this day to end. And she was elated when Kyle said casually, “What’re you doing tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow?” she squeaked. Her pulse was thrumming again like a guitar’s strings. “Nothing.”
“Then we should catch a movie. Pick you up at ten?”
“Sure!”
As he dropped her off at her college dorm, he gave her another kiss that made her head spin. He had to rush off to a “family do”, but he promised to call her as soon as it was
