FIRST MEETING -CHAPTER 11

Elizabeth accepted Nathan's invitation to dinner, it would be just the two of them, as Rose would stay with her children. It would be their first date. Elizabeth was so nervous; I haven't had a date with a man and alone in many years. In fact, the only person she has ever dated is her late husband Jack. She dressed in riding clothes as Nathan had asked, through the window she saw him arriving with the horses. Both Newton and the sergeant were brushed so well that their fur actually shone from afar. They would have dinner and watch the sunset. Nathan was a man who liked the simple, but they were things that made her heart jump with joy. She didn't need big candlelit dinners in rich restaurants, if that were her wish she would never have left Hamilton and married Charles, because that man liked refinement, he was nobility in person, but Charles was nothing to her. from a friend. As for lights and candles, all that sparkle Jack had already given her, making a naive young girl's dreams come true. With Nathan she was sure they would share much more, they already had their families, their precious children, they were the most important thing they had in life, of course besides their love for each other. As soon as he arrived with the horses, she left the house and soon mounted the sergeant and the two followed one beside the other talking. Neither of them still believed that their love had won.

"You know Lizbeth!" I was already giving up on our love, I thought you were my impossible dream. I was... I thought you'd choose Lucas... Because he could give you what I can't.

"Nathan! I never intended to date Lucas and he always knew it. It was never a choice, a contest to see which of you I would choose. It was just me cowering, scared to death of losing you like I lost Jack and so I took advantage of his friendship to have a shoulder to lean on and stay away from you. But it was always just friendship... Even if I wasn't with you, I would never be with Lucas, and another thing I can only thank you for not giving up on me, for not stopping loving me, even after all these two years and my fear.

"I am very happy to hear that, my Lizbeth. I'm the happiest man in the world.

And so they arrived at Jack's lands, Nathan dismounted her and heard her talking:

"Why are we here?

"I always liked coming here to think. Here is a place where I find peace and I always imagined bringing you here, close to me.

"Nathan! These lands are mine. I haven't been here much since Jack passed away.

Nathan paled.

"I'm sorry, Lizbeth... Is this the land Jack bought for you?"

- Yes; we were going to build our house here, he even bought a lot of wood with Lee, they stayed there. But Lee collected them after Jack died and passed them on to the lumber company, so they wouldn't get lost out here in the open and when I decided to get new wood or the money would have a voucher with it, I'd leave it as a savings account.

"Are you okay with us being here?" I swear I didn't know, otherwise I would have taken her elsewhere.

— Calm down, Nathan, I'm fine, come help me dismount...

And so, in two strides, there was Nathan removing her from the saddle, taking her waist, feeling her body in his hands, she came from above, sliding on his body, provoking light touches on his body without taking her eyes off his eyes. his eyes. Those blue eyes of Elizabeth provoked an uncontrollable passion in him. As soon as her feet touched the ground, he saw her standing on her tiptoes and kissing his cheek with wet lips, and said in a husky voice:

- Thank you my love, I love you!

Nathan felt his blood freeze, his heart stopped beating for a few seconds, his lungs screamed for air, but air was lacking at the moment. Her whole brain was spinning, she had called him "MY LOVE"... She said "I LOVE YOU". And it was at that moment that Nathan's whole body began to understand what she had proclaimed to the four winds, and looking into her eyes, he gave a crooked smile, lowering his head, he kissed her in such great passion, a kind of kiss he had never imagined it existed, all his soul and his heart were in that kiss, he felt his beloved close in his body, and when he remembered that maybe that could scare her, and was already moving away, he heard her moaning in his arms, a moan muffled between his mouth, that awakened a love that was dormant inside him, he had to marry this woman and fast, he realized at that moment that he couldn't stay away from her anymore.
