Love Through Time Excerpt © Nana Prah 2016
Jasmine fit into his body as if she’d been carved from him. It was such a peaceful embrace, a perfect fit of two bodies in sync, two souls in harmony with each other.
Sean felt the most at home he’d ever been with anyone. He knew her and somehow he could sense that she knew him, even though they were total strangers.
“How are you feeling?” he asked.
“Embarrassed, but I’m better.” She stepped out of his hold and continued their stroll.
He overcame the urge to pull her back into his arms where she belonged. He’d never reacted to a woman like this and didn’t know how to handle it. Usually he was Mr. Cool when it came to women, but Jasmine had him all shaken up, putting him at a loss for what to say.
They walked for a little while without speaking. “Why don’t you ever look at me?”
“What?” She kicked a rock on the path.
He grabbed her arm to turn her around. “Why don’t you ever look at me? There’ve only been three times I’ve looked you in the eyes. When Ed first introduced us, after you’d eaten breakfast, and then after you came downstairs from your shower. Ever since then you’ve been going out of your way to avoid me.”
Her gaze remained focused on her feet as she shrugged.
“Will you please look at me?” His voice was calm even though a desperate need to look into her beautiful brown eyes once again rode him. He braced himself for the anticipated pain he’d experience with the full onslaught of her gaze at close range. It would be worth it. “I’m afraid,” she mumbled.
“Of what? Am I so ugly you fear turning into stone?”
Her full lips curved into a small smile. “Not at all.”
“What are you afraid of?”
