Yacht Club Dreams- Final Episode

They walked up to the entrance And he followed her up the stairs Stopping a few stairs below her She turned to face him, and found herself Level with his blue eyes He had both hands in his pockets And now she realized that gesture for what it was An attempt to allay his nervousness She smiled, feeling her power over him. “Thank you," she whispered. “Your good deed is done. You're free to leave." “Only if you promise to have breakfast with me on my yacht.” She touched his cheek and tried to look past the longing in his eyes. “You don’t even know me. I’m not...I’m not her. I can’t be who you want me to be. We are from two different worlds.” “But that’s not it. You don’t understand, I…” And before he could complete what he was going to say, She reached out and cradled his face in her hands Her lips closed over his All her frustration and disappointment with love All her restraint, keeping her heart in line All the wonder at finding the man of her dreams The magical events of the evening Her feelings of invincibility Of sheer vulnerability Everything that defined who she was... Everything, she put into that kiss Her way of saying goodbye Of thanking him for this magical night A night where she had become one of THEM The privileged The beautiful The blessed It was because of him She finally pulled away When she looked at him, his eyes were still closed His hands still buried in his pockets His lips moist and glistening from her cherry flavored lip gloss He exhaled and finally opened his eyes Looking at her with a look that made her weak… A look filled with longing, desire, happiness, and raw need. He smiled a very slow smile and inhaled deeply “Can I take that as a ‘yes?’ May I pick you up tomorrow?” She felt giddy, mad, reckless, but most of all She felt strong...womanly...in control Hand on her hips, she teased “It seems you are still unclear about my answer, I…” His movement was quick Before she could finish her words He covered the distance between them Drawing her almost savagely up to himself He was the one in control now Claiming her, wanting her And she melted into him When she could finally breathe, she whispered in his ear, “Is the answer clear enough for you now?” She was rewarded with a smile His blue eyes inviting her to be his Burying her head on his chest She listened to the erratic beating of his heart She didn't even know his name All she knew All she needed to know Was that he was the owner... The yacht club owner Of her dreams

That I did, my dear Richard...that I did. Well, I'm hopeless with cars, so.....I asked hubby if Lexus is a big deal and he said yes, so...I went with that. Rolls are good, but a bit too ostentatious, and I didn't want this guy to be showy! ;) The real thing was awesome...awesome...awesome. I did dance where I was sitting. ;) We were sitting with the family of my niece's boyfriend for the first time, so I had to behave...but...they did like me. I'm in their good books! Your little Desert Orchid....

Nette...happy endings...we need those. I do so agree. Why write a story if you can't live vicariously through it, eh? Thanks ever so much for this JEWEL of a post. You have brought me much joy! I'm touched.....HUGSSS!

Eileen should submit this one to Harlequin Romances, it would be a sure hit.

Horray! A triumphant end to the beginning. This was a very entertaining series. I can tell you from experience that fantasies can be reality, I get to kiss the woman of my dreams every day and it still takes my breath away. I enjoyed reading this series, have a great day Eileen you are on a roll.

Richard....I'm honored beyond words by that post you made on Nette's comment. Perhaps I will! This story was a lovely mix between reality and fantasy...I used characters from real life and even though not everyone will read it...I'm so glad to know that you did. :)

:) Yes....Richard, in our flights of fancy, we aren't going to wallow in depression and sadness. We are going to LIVE IT UP TO THE MAX! :) At least we have dreams...Reality is beautiful too, of course, but if everyone were 100% happy with that, I guess no poets would ever write, and no romance novelists would write, and no philosophers would philosophize....I'm very please with this story...It was SO MUCH fun to write. It's been in my head for some time...Now it has seen the light of day.
