Emily and Michael burst through the front door to see her father attempting to sneak away from an open window back to his room, but he’d knocked over an old glass vase which had shattered during his attempt.
Emily planted her hands on her hips. “What were you doing?”
Her father just shrugged, holding back a grin.
“Oh my God! Were you spying on me?”
“It’s sort of my fatherly duty… and… about damn time young man!” he aimed at Michael. “I was starting to think you were never going to come to your senses!”
Michael had no reply. He could only agree with her father.
“I’m going back to bed. I’ll clean up the mess in the morning.” He waved it off, grinning at his daughter.
“Uh, huh,” she replied, amused. “Night, Dad. Love you.”
“Love you too, darlin’.” He shot a look at Michael that warned,
you’d better not hurt my baby girl
. Michael swallowed hard.
It could not have made Mr. Morgan any happier. To see his daughter, a spirit vessel like her mother, with Michael Howard. Especially knowing he was a witch. Someone that could protect his daughter. It was the reason he’d come to the Isle. To protect her.
This wasn’t exactly the manner in which he’d expected, but it did an old man’s heart good to know she was in capable hands, should she ever need help he couldn’t give her. Like today. Without the Howards, he wasn’t sure what might have happened to his daughter.
Emily grabbed Michael’s hand and they stepped back outside. “Let’s go down to the beach. I could use some air.” Her mind was stuffed to the hilt with an abundance of thought. She’d just found out she was a spirit vessel, and Michael had finally told her he loved her. It was an
air needed
kind of night.
“You read my mind. Air sounds
perfect.
” He wanted nothing more than to walk along the beach, the salty mist covering them, his hand entangled with hers, as it always should have been.
Okay, so he wanted a whole lot more than just her hand in his.
Michael pictured rolling around in the sand, his hands exploring every inch of her, his lips devouring her. His name escaping her in gasp of unbridled pleasure… his jeans tightened at the thought of it.
His empathy kept him from acting on it.
Emily was overwhelmed. Madly in love with him, but overwhelmed by the day she’d had. She was vulnerable, and he didn’t want their first time to be during a moment of vulnerability.
He wanted it to be perfect. Memorable. And when she was ready.
He’d been such a dick, stringing her along all these years. He’d let her set the pace from here on out.
For tonight, with the moon shining brightly over them, a walk down the beach just holding Emily’s hand was absolutely everything Michael Howard ever wanted.
