there with her filled him with such a sense of
    peace, of contentment, of love. He barely knew her but knew she was his
    future.
    ―That they remain your true love.‖ His callused hand stroked the
    side of her face. ―Your only love.‖
    ―Is that what they say?‖ her doubtful tone rang.
    He nodded. ―Oh, yeah.‖
    ―Funny, I‘ve never heard that before.‖

    ―Must be an old German saying.‖
    Trouble lurked behind her eyes, ―An old German saying, huh? Like
    ‗Heil Hitler‘ is an old German saying? You do kind of fit the description,
    don‘t you? Blond hair, blue eyes.‖
    ―I am not a believer in that crap,‖ he growled, pulling her in closer.
    ―But you are German, and according to you, that was an old German
    saying!‖
    Catching the twitch of her lips, Ernst realized she was teasing him.
    ―It is a very famous old German saying. Don‘t you have any German in
    you?‖
    ―I thought military men were supposed to be observant.‖ She tapped
    him on the end of his Roman nose. ―Do I look like I have German in me?‖
    His deep voice dropped even lower as he whispered against her lips,
    ―Would you like some?‖
    Kacy closed her eyes and trembled against him. ―Do you know
    where I can find a German who may be interested?‖
    ―Open your eyes, meine geliebte . He‘s right in front of you.‖ His warm
    breath brushed against her skin.

    Heavy, it was so hard to open her eyes. Kacy found his haunting
    gaze fixed firmly on her. ―I‘m sorry,‖ she mumbled. ―I can‘t.‖
    ―Don‘t apologize. As much as I would love to make love to you right
    here, right now. I want to get to know you. But when you are ready…this is
    all the German you will ever need.‖ He brushed his cheek against hers,
    allowing her to feel the stubble that was beginning to grow.
    Any second now Kacy knew she was going to wake up and find he
    was all a dream. No man was this kind, this caring, or this understanding. ―I
    shouldn‘t have teased you.‖
    ―I‘m not a little boy. I can handle the word ‗no.‘ Come on.‖ He
    tugged her arm and led her down the hill towards the water. ―I want to show
    you something.‖
    Curious about what he was up to, she followed. He stopped and
    stepped down onto the silken sand and turned to help her. Holding out his
    arms, he waited for her to accept his touch.
    Kacy easily stepped into his arms and closed her eyes as he lifted her
    with ease to the ground where he was. His hands lingering on her body, she
    was in no rush to move his touch from her skin. ―Thank you,‖ she said in a
    raspy voice.
    ―My pleasure. Let‘s go.‖ Ernst laced their fingers and led her down
    around a corner of the beach into a small inlet. They found a rock that jetted
    out into the water. He walked to the end and sat down. ―Sit here.‖
    ―What are we doing here?‖ Kacy sat beside him, totally unconcerned
    with the amount of leg she was showing.
    ―Wait,‖ he said in a hushed voice. ―Just watch the water.‖

    Enthralled by the magical tone he had, Kacy did just that. For a few
    moments they sat in absolute silence, the waves lapping at the rock and shore
    the only noise aside from their shallow breathing.
    ―There!‖ His sharp whisper made her jump.
    Following the line of his finger, Kacy saw a pod of dolphins swim-
    ming into the inlet. Four babies that frolicked in the waves. ―Oh, Ernst, look
    at them!‖ Her voice was wistful.
    She sensed him watching her, but she kept her attention forward. ―It
    is a beautiful sight, all right.‖
    Taking her eyes off the water creatures, she put them on the man
    next to her. ―Thank you for sharing this with me.‖
    ―There is no one else I could imagine sharing it with,‖ he admitted.
    Kacy leaned into him and kissed him. Her full lips gently brushed his
    before her tongue slid between his lips. He tasted so good. Drawing away,
    she blinked as a blush ran over her body.
    Ernst was motionless, dazed. It was a
