forth.
    Back and forth.
    The gentle breeze that flowed over her face partially made up for the
    high humidity that filled the air. Kacy tipped her head back, closed her eyes,
    and laughed at the pure joy that filled her.
    ―You do realize I‘m eating all of your ice cream,‖ Ernst said as his
    otherworldly gaze watched the beautiful woman beside him.
    Glancing at him as her body swung back and forth, she asked, ―Why
    are you?‖
    ―Because it‘s melting.‖ He shrugged. ―And mine‘s gone.‖
    Slowing the swing, Kacy reached towards him and wiggled her fin-
    gers. Her face was flushed; it was obvious she loved to swing.
    Taking a spoonful, he slid it between his firm lips and groaned with
    pleasure. ―Oh, damn, this is good!‖
    Leaning farther on the swing, she grabbed the plastic spoon and
    pulled it out of his mouth. He arched a brow but handed her the cup of ice
    cream. ―You probably ate all the sprinkles.‖ She sent him a playful frown. I
    am having so much fun with him. It is like being carefree.
    He smiled. ―I will get more if you think it needs it.‖
    Shaking her head, she took a bite and grinned. ―I love ice cream, and
    this…this is prefect.‖ Especially since your mouth was on the spoon earlier.
    Kacy felt his eyes on her and suddenly felt self-conscious. Her hair
    was loose, her smiles often and free. She had her skirt tucked so it wouldn‘t
    fly up when she swung on the playground equipment. Her copper eyes
    shone in the moonlight. She‘d not felt this open in a long time.
    ―What do you do?‖ he wondered, leaning his body against the chain
    of the swing he occupied as he faced her.
    ―I run my own business back on the mainland.‖
    ―What kind of business?‖ He pulled her swing closer and took a
    spoonful of ice cream for himself.

    ―I‘m an electrician.‖ Her body tensed as she waited for the normal
    male response of disbelief. It never came.
    ―Awesome.‖
    Slanting her reddish-brown gaze at him, she watched him as if uncer-
    tain he wouldn‘t say something else, something condescending. But all he did
    was point to her ice cream and open his lovely shaped mouth.
    ―Thank you,‖ he mumbled after she gave him a bite.
    Kacy licked the spoon clean, not seeing the flare of heat in his eyes.
    Resting her head on the chain she watched the lights of ships in the harbor as
    her bare toes dug in the sand. ―What do you do for the Navy, Ernst?‖
    His eyes roving over her profile, he said, ―I‘m a SEAL.‖
    ―Well, I guess that should explain the dislike with you and the Del-
    tas.‖ She scraped the bottom of the cup getting all she could. ―It fits.‖

    We fit. Touching her arm, Ernst waited for her to look at him. ―Why
    do you say that?‖ He got off the swing and beckoned her to do the same.
    ―You are very confident. Self assured, not in a bad way.‖ She slid her
    arm through his as her feet found their reluctant way back into her sandals.
    ―The ones you played against also seemed such a way.‖
    Ernst took the empty ice cream container from her and carried it. He
    loved the way she fit against his body. It would be a lie to say he wasn‘t
    imagining what it would be like with her naked. His body throbbed painful-
    ly.
    ―Do you know many SEALs?‖ he asked as he tried to get his body to
    calm down.
    ―I must say you are my first,‖ Kacy said, leaning her head against his
    shoulder while they walked.
    Tossing the container into the trash receptacle they passed, he
    grinned. And I will be the first SEAL you do lots of things with. I will be the only
    SEAL you do things with. The only man. ―Well, you know what they say about
    your first.‖
    Kacy stopped and faced him. ―No, what?‖
    Ernst looked down at the woman who stood on a hillside in the
    moonlight with him. Her beauty took his breath away, and he knew in that
    moment she was the one for him.
    Maybe Ross was right, that his heart and soul knew before his brain
    could comprehend. Being
