for her phone. Zavia held it up for her to see.
    “Looking for this? You left here without your phone. Again.”
    “I’m sorry, Zee.”
    In response to Em’s lame apology, Zavia turned back into the apartment and slammed the door behind her.
    Em flinched. “I better go after her. Thanks for coffee and dinner. I really enjoyed being with you today.” She stood rooted in place, smiling like an idiot. She didn’t care. Lukas had the same ridiculous grin.
    “When are you leaving town? I’d like to see you again.”
    “Day after tomorrow. Zee is getting married Saturday morning, then after the reception, I’m moving into the city for my new job.” Emmalyn had a hard time focusing with Lukas’s thumbs rubbing circles in her palms.
    “Okay. So, how about dinner tomorrow?”
    “I can’t. The rehearsal dinner is tomorrow. But we can meet after that. We’re having the bachelorette party tonight. Zee doesn’t want to be hung over for the wedding.”
    “Okay. I’ll be waiting.” He kissed her again, just as lightly, just as powerfully. He laid a finger on her cheek before walking down the hall away from the apartment. She watched him leave the building, not able to move until he was in his car and driving away.
    Zavia opened the door again. “You’re an idiot.”
    Em’s smile faltered just a bit as she turned to her very best friend in the world.
    “I’m in love!” She gave her friend a huge, goofy grin as she stepped into the apartment.
    Zavia groaned, having heard this before. Many times. “Just tell me you didn’t sleep with him.”
    “What? Of course not. But he did kiss me. Twice. We just shared the most amazing kiss in the history of inter-lip relations.”
    Zavia rolled her eyes and went back to packing books. She frowned when she realized Emmalyn was still standing in the doorway. “You do plan to help at some point tonight, right?”
    “Yes, Master!” Em walked into the room with her arms out like a zombie. Zavia burst into laughter and threw the tape at her.
    “Bitch!”
    Em joined in the laughter and the two friends continued to prepare for the next stage of their lives.

    T he next couple of months passed quickly. Emmalyn and Lukas grew closer, seeing each other every weekend. The first time they slept together, Em was absolutely sure she had found her soul mate. Everything about the experience was perfect. Though she had been able to bring herself to orgasm for some time, Lukas was the first man to be able to, and he brought her intense pleasure many times that night. He knew exactly how to touch her, kiss her, hold her. He instinctively understood what her body needed and was able to give her that and so much more.
    And she found ways to please him that no other woman had. Every part of her melded perfectly with his, as if made just for him. He felt so incredibly lucky to have found someone that was so compatible with him, and didn’t feel the need to be false or misleading.
    The first time Lukas told Em he loved her was on their six-month anniversary. They were out to dinner, and he had presented her with a beautiful pair of pearl earrings. She was putting them in her ears when his words shocked her into absolute stillness.
    “This can’t be a surprise to you, Em,” he laughed. “I mean, you had to know how I feel about you.”
    “I did know. I just wasn’t sure if it was real or if I just really wanted it to be. I love you too. I think I’ve always known.”
    “Thank God.” Lukas leaned back in his chair and wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. “I’ll admit I was a little worried by the look on your face.”
    “I just wasn’t expecting you to say that so soon. It’s been a perfect night. Let’s get out of here.”
    That night they made love over and over. Lukas took Em in just about every way possible, the depth of their love displayed in every kiss, every caress, and every stroke. Just when Em felt she wouldn’t be able to take another breath, Lukas was able
