Excerpt - A Star in the Night


Bruce led her to the sleigh and helped her in, then climbed in himself where he proceeded to cover them with a fur rug. They rode through the streets snuggled together as it started snowing which made everything that much more romantic. They arrived at the restaurant and were escorted into a private room where they spent a quiet night talking and dancing. The last song played was one of Bruce’s. “My Moonlight Memories Of You.” Being one of Brooke Lynn’s favorites she hugged him tighter as they danced. When the song ended Bruce gave her a tender kiss then whispered in her ear. “Let’s go home.”
Brooke Lynn nodded and they soon were on their way back in the sleigh.
  Pulling her up against him, they looked at the stars and he quietly started singing.   “Let Be Your Wings, Let me lift you high above. Everything we’re dreaming of will soon be ours. Anything that you desire, anything at all. Every day I‘ll take you higher and I‘ll never let you fall.”
Brooke Lynn leaned into him, tomorrow they would have to return to reality, but tonight she savored the sound of Bruce’s voice singing in her ear. The sleigh made its way slowly along the streets once more as the snow fell around them.

Bruce helped Brooke Lynn out of the sleigh and in one move swept her off her feet. She let out a small scream in surprise and wrapped her arms around his neck. He carried her into the house, stopping only long enough to open the door, then kicked it shut once they were inside causing Brooke Lynn to jump. The smile he gave her should have made her feel at ease, instead it made her more nervous.
He put her on her feet then brought her up against him. Slowly he leaned down toward her stopping just short of her mouth. He hesitated for so long that Brooke Lynn stomped her foot in frustration. Slowly, very slowly he brought his lips to hers, the contact sent a shock through her causing her to take a step back.
Bruce sensed her fear and tightened his hold on her waist as he pulled her back up against him. Picking her up, he carried her to the bedroom he had been using. He let her slide down the length of him as sat her on her feet.
     Brooke Lynn felt as if she was going to go crazy if he didn’t stop teasing her.  She pushed his coat off his shoulders - hers soon follow. Article after article of clothing fell to the floor. She felt the bed pressed against the back of her knees as he lowered her down. He towered over her with his arms resting on either side of her. She saw the hesitation in his eyes and brought her lips to his stilling in doubt that he might have had. When their bodies made contact it was as if a bearer had been lifted and they made love that night with the passion they had been fighting for the last few months.
