When it is time for souls to meet, there is nothing on
earth that can prevent it from happening. That’s what Emma Finch realizes after
her first encounter with Luke Myers. A confirmed bachelor and undercover cop,
Luke has made his job his life. Since his first love died tragically in a car
accident, Luke hasn’t been seriously interested in anyone … until he meets
Emma.
Emma is navigating life after her husband of 24 years
dies suddenly. Her days as a middle school guidance counselor are filled with
hormonal teenagers, while her nights are interrupted by a dream stuck on
repeat. A chance meeting with the mystifying detective at a Memorial Day
barbeque leaves Emma staring into the same grey eyes that haunt her slumber
night after night. She knows her dream will unlock a mystery, and that it’s
somehow tied to the tattooed, pierced law-enforcer.
As Emma and Luke’s beautiful love story develops,
Emma’s dreams become more frequent and frightening. She’s completely convinced
that the enigmatic couple she dreams about each night shares an undeniable
connection to Luke and his current undercover assignment. Emma and Luke’s bond
is so powerful, they both wonder if maybe they’ve met before. What they learn
is that time has a wonderful way of showing them what really matters, and that
the universe works in mysterious ways.

Chapter 10 – Luke – Just a Kiss Goodnight
Turning, I lay my arm across the back of our seat. “So
how did you end up at the hospital tonight?” Without even realizing it, I drop
my arm around Emma’s shoulder and begin to play with her hair at the nape of
her neck. She follows by gently running her fingers over the ink on my forearm,
tracing the pattern. Feeling her fingers along my skin is exhilarating, and I
am completely caught up in her spell.
“Katie called me, and we all caravanned to the
hospital,” she murmurs while setting her mug down.
“Who all came? You were the only one in the waiting
room.”
“When Katie called, I was with our friends at The Last
Supper. You met most of them at the barbeque earlier this summer. Every year,
the night before we go back to work, to end our summer vacation, we celebrate
with a big dinner together. It’s funny, right before she called we were just
wondering what was keeping her. She never misses A Last Supper, and she’s never
late. We were partying up a storm when Katie called to let me know about Shane.
After everyone settled their checks, we drove over together. The ER would only
allow one of us into the surgical waiting room. Katie wanted me to stay with
her because her parents are out of town, so everyone else went home to wait.
Once Shane was out of surgery and your captain ordered you to leave, Katie
asked me to get you home. She said Shane would worry about you.”
“Did she now?” And without even giving it one thought
I lean in and softly kiss her. Resting my forehead against hers I half expect
her to pull back, but instead I hear a slight moan. I have to pause because
that sound makes me want to dive in and ravish her. Her lips are incredibly
soft, and she tastes like the minty tea we are drinking. Pulling her toward me
I sprinkle a few light kisses from her lips to her ear and whisper, “You are
just perfect. Thank you for being here for me tonight. I’m sure I’d be tearing
shit up if I had gone straight home. I don’t want to push, but …”
“Luke … just kiss me already!” And with that I brush
my lips over hers as gently as I can before diving in and branding her mouth
like I need her to survive. My right hand comes up to cup her face, and I know
now, I’m a goner. Soft. That’s what I’ll remember about tonight. Everything
about her is soft to the touch, and I want to feel every inch of her. When her
lips part, I take this as an invitation to wrap my tongue around hers, biting
and sucking her lips until we both need to come up for air.
