"I want to kiss you Sarah, I've wanted to do it ever since I saw you on that balcony." Jonah spoke against her skin as his hands wrapped around her waist.
Sarah shivered, goosebumps erupting all-over her skin. This was the one man on Earth that she had vowed to hate eternally yet he was the only one who could set her body on fire. "I can't..." Sarah hated how breathy her voice sounded.
"You want me to kiss you, you can lie from your lips but your body tells a different tale." Jonah spoke against the column of her neck placing a kiss on her pulse point. A smile spread on his face when she let out a moan. She wanted him and that's exactly where he wanted her.

Forever Yours (Truce 1)

Sarah woke up before dawn and made the split decision to go for a horse ride. 


Astride her favorite horse Polly, she rode to a grass meadow where she had always had races with her brothers when she was younger. Memories filled her mind of the good old days and nostalgia flooded her system. She could even remember Jonah and herself running around the orangery as children, full of mischief. It was enough to plaster a permanent smile on her face.


A few more minutes of slow trotting by Polly and Sarah had warmed her up enough to go for a few laps around the field. The wind in her hair was exhilarating and her smile widened with every lap the thoroughbred took.


Just as she had completed her fourth lap, she realized that she had an audience, seated on his horse, Jonah started clapping his hands just as she was coming to a stop. With a smile Jonah gave her a once over then remarked, "I'd forgotten how good you were at horse riding."
