England souvenirs. A spinning rack of bookmarks grabs my attention. They have the spine of a classic book on one side and quote from the book on the other.
    I am reading the back of a one for Jane Eyre and Eric is on the other side of the rack. “You have bewitched me body and soul,” I hear him say in a soft voice.
    “What did you just say?” I ask as I feel all the blood rush to my head. My brain has literally gone blank.
    “Oh, just reading this bookmark for Pride and Prejudice . I am just amazed that people would talk like that.” I exhale as my blood goes back to where it is supposed to be.
    “Why? You have never talked to a woman like that?” After seeing how thick he put it on for Aggie I find it hard to believe.
    “No, I haven’t,” he says steeping around the rack. I give him a look of obvious disbelief. “Honestly. I have never said anything like to any woman.”
    “You must have said something at least close to your wife,” I worry at little that he will be upset I mentioned her but I know he loved her.
    “No, we never talked like that to each other. There wasn’t ever really a need for it.”
    “What do you mean?”
    “Well, for either of us to feel like this,” he says waving the bookmark like it is evidence, “Sarah and I were always calm. We made sense on paper and in person. No one ever questioned us being together, even us. It just always seemed like it was planned. We only had two fights the entire time we were together. You have to have a certain amount of passion, of crazy, to talk this way and mean it.”
    “Oh, well that makes sense,” I say as he wanders away from the bookmarks. I can’t imagine a relationship like the one he described. “It might be nice to have things always fall into place but I don’t think it would work for me. I want someone I drive a little crazy.”
    “I don’t think you will have a hard time with that,” he smiles playfully at me.
    “Geez thanks.”
    “I mean that in the kindest way possible.” He takes my hand as we exit the store. We climb inside the plush car and head back to Greenwood Manor. It has gotten gloomier in the past hour. It looks like it will be raining before long. I find my mind drifting to the man sitting next to me. I have really enjoyed learning so much about him. Just when I think I have him figured out I find out something else that throws me.
    I look over at him and feel a heat rush through my body collecting between my thighs. He is staring intensely at the road with an almost scowl that makes him look even sexier than usual. His velvety brown eyes are burning with that slight fire. His strong jaw is set tight and has a little bit of manly stubble. My gaze lands on his perfect full lips and it takes every ounce of self-control to stay in my seat. I want Eric right here and now.
    Since I am pretty sure climbing into his lap while he driving is a bad thing, I decide to have a little fun with him. I bring our entwined hands to my lips and gently kiss at his fingers. He looks over and smiles at me. I then take his index finger and gently suck on the tip. I swirl my tongue around it and then lap at the pad. He lets out a soft moan.
    I lean towards him and I am just able to reach his neck with my lips. I start kissing from just under his ear down to his collar bone. I then work my way back up to the soft spot just under his jaw. He inhales sharply and grips the wheel tighter.
    “You better be careful. You are going to make me pull over and have my way with you,” he says in his gravelly voice.
    “I might be okay with that but I would rather you have your way with me in bed,” I say against his warm skin.
    “Are you serious?” He looks down at me briefly.
    “More than you know.” I stretch my body up so my lips are almost to his ear. “I want you to fuck the hell out of me,” I whisper softly and smile my cutesiest smile.
    “Thank God we are almost there,” he says as he steps on the gas.
