A wave rolled in, and Jessie Sterling stood on her surfboard, gliding along its crest. She looked completely at ease, suspended between the sun and the sea.
Victor Morgan stood on the shore, watching her from a distance. He slowly waded into the ocean, then dove in with a powerful plunge. Like a silver fish, he swam swiftly toward the spot where Jessie Sterling was surfing.
Just as Jessie lost her footing and tumbled off her board, Victor swam over in a flash and scooped her out of the water.
Jessie Sterling wrapped her arms around Victor Morgan's neck and laughed.
The sun, the waves, the sand, and her lover—everything she could want was right here, within her grasp.
She didn't ask why Victor had suddenly appeared beside her. She simply hooked her arms around his neck and initiated a kiss.
'When the person you love is right beside you, you have to kiss them with all you've got.'
'Can't let the moment pass.'
