NANCY'S POV

I faced forward again, smiling into the wind, my shoulder still tingling from where he’d touched me.

The neighboring island appeared on the horizon after about twenty minutes. At first it was just a dark shape against the bright sky. Then it grew clearer as we drew closer—hills covered in scrubby green vegetation, white buildings climbing the hillside in clusters, a small harbor with boats already moving in and out. Life. Other people. Noise and color and the ordinary chaos of a fun

    NANCY'S POVWe found a small coffee shop on a side street, tucked between a bakery and a shop selling handmade ceramics. Six tiny tables, mismatched chairs, a hand-lettered menu on a chalkboard.The kind of place that had no business being discovered and was wonderful precisely because of it.We sat outside, in the shade of a bougainvillea that had thoroughly colonized the wall above our table, its purple flowers dropping occasionally onto the table between us.The coffee arrived in small cups, dark and strong and perfect.Zade drank his black, as always.I added sugar and wrapped both hands around the small cup, watching the street in front of us.People passed. A woman with a basket of produce. Two teenagers on a moped, laughing at something. A group of tourists consulting a map.Normal life.Ordinary, beautiful, completely unremarkable normal life.I could have cried from how much I'd missed it."You're staring at people," Zade observed."I'm enjoying the sight of other human being

    NANCY'S POVI faced forward again, smiling into the wind, my shoulder still tingling from where he’d touched me.The neighboring island appeared on the horizon after about twenty minutes. At first it was just a dark shape against the bright sky. Then it grew clearer as we drew closer—hills covered in scrubby green vegetation, white buildings climbing the hillside in clusters, a small harbor with boats already moving in and out. Life. Other people. Noise and color and the ordinary chaos of a functioning town.I’d been starving for it without fully realizing how much.“It’s beautiful,” I said as the harbor drew closer. The white buildings were bright and clean in the morning sun, and I could already hear the faint sounds of voices and activity drifting across the water.“Small,” Zade said, voice easy. “But yes. Beautiful.”“What’s it called?”He told me the name and I repeated it, liking the way it sounded on my tongue. Soft and rolling.“Have you been before?” I asked, turning to look

    NANCY'S POVThe dock where we'd arrived on the island. Where the boat had deposited us weeks ago, what felt like a lifetime ago.I stopped walking when I saw it.There was a boat moored there. A sleek, modern motor boat, white and blue, bobbing gently in the clear water."Zade," I said slowly."Hmm.""Why is there a boat at the dock?"He glanced at me sideways, and I saw it then—a rare, genuine smile. Not the controlled half-smile or the dark wicked grin. Something warmer than either."Because we need a boat to get where we're going."I looked at the boat, then at him. The dock looked sun-bleached in the morning light, the water beyond it impossibly blue and clear.I remembered arriving here. Standing on this exact dock, looking at this island that was to become my gilded cage, furious and frightened and already starting to hate the man standing beside me.I hadn't known him then. Had seen only the cold, controlled exterior. The wall he presented to the world.I knew so much more now.

    NANCY'S POVHe did exactly that. He kissed down my neck again, slower this time, taking his time over the marks he’d left before. His mouth found my breast and he sucked gently, tongue circling my nipple until I arched up with a soft moan."Zade…" I breathed, fingers sliding into his hair."Shh, baby. Let me take care of you." His voice was quiet but firm, full of that steady control that always made me feel safe even when he was undoing me. "I want to hear every little sound you make."He moved lower, kissing down my stomach, hands spreading my thighs apart with gentle pressure. When his mouth finally found me, it was slow and worshipful. His tongue licked long, lazy strokes through my folds, tasting me like he had all the time in the world. I gasped and my hips lifted toward him on their own."God, you taste so good in the morning," he murmured against me, the words vibrating through my skin. "So sweet and wet already. You like waking up to my mouth on your pussy, don’t you?""Yes,"

    NANCY'S POVWe stayed in the water until the moon had shifted noticeably in the sky. Until my fingers had gone pleasantly pruny and my limbs were heavy with warmth and contentment.When we finally emerged onto the beach, the night air felt warm and gentle.We dressed in comfortable silence, stealing glances at each other in the moonlight.Zade's eyes on me as I pulled on my clothes made my skin warm in ways entirely separate from the temperature.The walk back was slow and unhurried, the path through the olive grove silver in the moonlight.His hand found mine before we'd gone ten steps.I looked down at our linked hands, then up at his face.He was looking straight ahead, his jaw relaxed, his expression as close to peaceful as I'd ever seen it.Not commenting on the hand-holding.Just doing it.Like it was the most natural thing in the world.My heart was so full it hurt.We walked all the way back to the villa like that.Hand in hand.In the warm Greek night.Under a sky full of sta

    NANCY'S POVI met his eyes and whatever I'd been about to say dissolved completely.He was looking at me like that again.Like I was the only thing in the world worth looking at."I could look at you like this forever," he said quietly. Almost to himself. Almost like he hadn't meant to say it out loud.My heart did something complicated and painful in my chest.Forever.He'd said he couldn't love me. Couldn't give me forever. But the way he was looking at me right now—I didn't let myself finish that thought.Instead, I reached up and pushed his wet hair back from his forehead. The dark strands were sleek with water, making his features stand out in sharp relief.He looked younger like this. Less burdened."You should laugh more," I told him softly.Something flickered in his expression. "I don't laugh much.""I know. That's why you should do it more." I ran my thumb along his jaw. "You have a good laugh. It sounds like it comes from somewhere real."He turned his face slightly into m
