《rekindled(英文版)》第77章

vulnerability　she　felt。　It　gave　her　the　strength　to　finish。
〃My　God；　Mitch；　haven"t　we　both　suffered　enough？　Isn"t　it　time　to　end
the　punishment？　I　love　you。〃
〃Do　you；　Anne？〃　he　asked　unsurely；　huskily；　hopefully。　〃Do　you　love　me
enough　to　want　to　wake　up　in　my　arms　every　day；　knowing　that　I　make
mistakes？〃
〃Knowing　that　you"re　human？　It"s　a　relief；　y"know？〃
A　sound　came　from　his　throat；　no；　from　his　soul；　it　was　that　deep；　and
he　pulled　her　around　and　crushed　her　in　his　arms。　〃I　love　you；　Annie；〃
he　whispered　with　a　rush　of　feeling。　〃Don"t　ever；　ever　turn　away　from　me
again。　Don"t　shut　me　out。　I　can"t　survive　it。〃
He　kissed　her；　then　pulled　back　and　made　a　show　of　licking　his　lips。
〃Salt？〃
She　smiled　through　her　tears。　〃That"s　happiness。　You"ll　have　to　bear
with　me。〃
〃I　think　I　can　manage　it；〃　he　said　with　infinite　tenderness　and　brushed
the　tears　from　her　cheeks。　〃I　do　love　you。〃
He　showed　her　how　much　right　there　under　the　sun；　worshipping　her　first
with　clothes；　then　without；　making　love　to　her　on　the　soft　carpet　of　new
grass　and　dandelion　puffs。　It　was　hotter；　harder；　sweeter　than　it　had
ever　been　before；　a　preview　of　what　it　might　be　in　twenty　or　thirty
years"　time。
When　later　they　lay　still　and　let　the　sun　stroke　their　naked　bodies；　she
nuzzled　his　neck。　〃This　is　heaven。〃
He　patted　her　bottom。　〃Let"s　hope　there"s　no　poison　ivy　around　here。〃
When　she　bolted　upright；　he　burst　out　laughing。
〃Is　there？〃　she　asked。
He　pulled　her　back　to　his　chest。　〃No　poison　ivy。　Just　me。〃
〃Will　you　give　me　a　rash？〃
He　laughed　again。　〃Hopefully　one　very　special　itch　now　and　again；　never
a　rash。〃
She　stretching　against　him；　so　pleased　to　hear　him　laugh　and　know　she
was　its　cause。　〃You　have　no　idea　how　I　love　you。〃
〃Not　as　much　as　I　love　you。〃
〃No？　Wanna　bet　on　that？〃
〃You"re　on；〃　he　said　and　rolled　over　her　to　settle　the　matter。
Through　no　lack　of　trying；　it　was　far　from　settled　by　the　next　morning。
Awakening　with　the　sun　in　a　happy　glo　his　bed；
pulled　on　his　large　shirt；　and　went　to　the　front　door。　As　it　opened　she
caught　the　sweet　scent　of　the　lilacs。　In　the　week"s　tumult　she　hadn"t
noticed　them　before。　Now　she　smiled　in　delight　at　the　shapely
pink…purple　clusters　and　the　full；　rich　fragrance。
Snapping　off　a　small　cluster；　she　returned　to　his　bed；　dropped　the
shirt；　and　slid　quietly　between　the　sheets。　She　lay　on　her　stomach　and
watched　Mitch　sleep；　seeing　the　same　peace　on　his　face　that　she　felt
inside。
One　sleepy　hazel　eye　opened。　He　smiled　lazily。
She　moved　the　spray　of　lavender　under　his　nose。　〃The　lilacs　are　in
bloom。　Spring　is　here。〃　As　her　lover"s　hand　wound　through　her　hair　to
draw　her　in　for　a　good　morning　kiss；　she　knew　that　it　truly　was。
