he led her to the bed where he made love to her.
Donald wrapped Grace in his arms after. “Welcome home,” he whispered in her ear before he nibbled her earlobe.
She giggled and looked around her. This would be her home. It was so nicely done. Then the thought of her parents came back to her and she moaned.
“What?” he asked.
“I just thought of my parents,” she told him.
He moaned then too. “What are you going to tell them?” he asked. He had been warned by her father once to stay away. What would he do when he found out Grace had married him? “You better go home.”
They dressed quickly and he took her home. “Good luck,” he said. He kissed her. “I love you.”
“I love you too.”
With a wave she disappeared inside and Donald sat for a moment before he took the reigns once more and returned home alone, to the home he was supposed to be sharing with his wife. He hated taking her home and leaving her there.
He had just stepped out of the carriage when something hit him on the head.
Chapter 3
Katie woke with a start. She turned and looked at the clock. “Damn,” she groaned.
“What’s wrong,” Dean asked groggily, startling her further. He looked at her then and smiled as he remembered the previous evening. “Morning sexy.”
“We slept in,” she told him. The events of the previous night flooded her mind.
“That’s okay, we’ll be a little late. Is that all?” he asked.
“But, well, no,” she stammered.
“Did you have another dream?” Dean asked.
She nodded.
“Tell me about it,” he urged.
“I will but we need to get ready to go,” she replied and started to get out of bed.
“Forget that,” he said, pulling her back down.
“But…” she trailed off.
“I’m the boss, what I say goes, okay?” he told her. “At the library that is,” he quickly added.
She smiled and told him about the wedding and what had happened to Donald. “Do you think he’s okay?” she asked.
“I don’t know but you could spend some time at work today going through the old records looking for a ‘Grace and Donald.”
“But I don’t know dates, places, or last names. It could have happened in Bolivia,” she said.
“You’re right, you don’t. Guess you’ll have to stay in bed all day to do further research,” he teased before he leaned down and kissed her.
She moaned at his touch and took his hand in her own and led it to her breast.
They made love and held each other for a while before they finally got out of bed and quickly ate breakfast before showering together.
“Do you think anyone will notice I’m wearing the same thing I wore yesterday?” Dean asked.
“It’s Saturday. I don’t really think anyone will care, unlike this smile I can’t get off my face,” she told him.
He laughed. “I’ll know what it’s all about and maybe I’ll call you into my office later and make sure that it doesn’t fade.”
She giggled as she slid her feet into a pair of shoes and they left, traveling in the same car just to save some time.
The day dragged on for what felt like forever to Katie. She found very little in the old records she searched through. There were thousands and she’d only gone through a very small percentage of them. Near the end of the day, Dean called her into his office.
She closed the door behind her and soon Dean was kissing her. Katie felt a little nervous about being caught but then Dean pulled away.
“I asked you in here to see if you’d be interested in dinner at my place tonight,” he asked.
“I have church in the morning,” she told him.
“So do I, I’ll drop you at home after,” he offered.
Katie agreed with a nod and finally a smile crept across her face.
