"It is a 'beaut'," Grace smiled. She looked at Colin and then back at the car. "A 1966 Pontiac GTO Convertible. The first true muscle car."

"I would love a ride." She let him take her hand. Grace enjoyed the warmth and strength of Colin's grip on her smaller hand. "I would also like to see pictures of what it looked like before you started working on it."

Grace squeezed Colin's hand, not wanting to turn it loose. She looked out at the water and then down at the sand. "Yes, this looks like a nice spot."

She watched him spread out the blanket. His hand slid over it, making sure it was straight. He held her hand as she eased down onto the blanket. Grace held her book in her lap. "I've never read anything aloud to anyone. If you don't like it," She laughed. "Just yawn and I'll get the hint to stop."

Grace looked back out at the water as the sound of a crashing wave caught her attention. The light from the sunset played off of the water. A soft breeze brushed through her hair. "It's beautiful here."

She lost her train of thought for a moment when he looked at her. It came back when the breeze exposed part of her thigh. Wearing a silk dress on a windy beach wouldn't be a good way to stay covered. Grace reached down to tuck her dress under her legs the best she could.

"Okay," She said as she opened the book and started to read. The story was about a photographer who happened to take a picture of two men in a park. One of the men had seen her and it made her feel uneasy. He approached her one day and she did not realize he was the same man from the park. They fell into a love affair. She did not know until later that he had been the same man from the park. And that he had murdered the other man he had been speaking to. The murderer tracked her down to find out what she had seen, and to destroy the film she had, hopefully leaving no evidence of the murder.

Grace continued the story and stopped just before the love scene. She tucked her dress under her legs again as she began to read aloud all of the intimate details of the lovemaking between the two main characters. After a moment, Grace had forgotten that she was reading to Colin. She was engrossed in the passion of the scene. She hadn't even realized that Colin had turned on the flashlight and was holding it above the book for her.

She was breathless. Grace had never been kissed that way. It left her heart racing and her thoughts lingering on other places on her body where she wanted Colin to kiss her like that.

She took a breath first before answering him. Grace was trying to focus on the character in the book and not how much she wanted Colin to kiss her again. "She tells him she won't turn him in. She doesn't know if he believes her. He tells her he will meet her the next week. When he doesn't show up, she thinks he has left her. She doesn't know the police found other evidence against him and had already taken him in. He thinks she did turn him in. They never see each other again."

Grace closed her eyes briefly when Colin's hand slipped into her hair. She was drawn in by Colin more than she had been to any man before.

She had to look away and sigh at his question. She wasn't sure if she should answer. But, at least she would give him an honest answer. "Love. I have everything thing else. I haven't had a hard time acquiring money and things." Grace stood up and smoothed down her dress. "I know love is the only thing someone can have that has true value. I thought I had found it before. I was wrong."

She turned back to him and smiled. "Sorry, you were probably expecting me to say something like I want to be a nationally renowned author. That would be nice too," She laughed.

"What about you, Colin? What are you looking for in life?"

"I hope you do too, Colin." She spoke softly to him looking into his eyes. He had a heart and an intensity that brought a smile to her face.

Grace didn't want to think about whether or not she and Colin would be good for each other, or how brief a time she had to find out. She just wanted to react to the way she felt being near him.

She leaned over and kissed him softly.

Grace moaned softly and allowed his tongue to taste hers. She slid her arm around his chest. For long moments she forgot about where they were, what time it was, how dark it had gotten, or how cool the breeze was becoming.

She pulled away slowly, in no hurry to break the kiss. "Colin, I think we should go now. It's not that I want to but my legs are freezing." She laughed and reached down to keep the breeze from blowing her dress completely up over her thighs.

Grace held Colin's jacket by the collar to keep it from slipping off her shoulder. In her other hand, she steadied the flashlight so that he could see. Her senses were filled with his scent on the jacket and her legs still felt the residual tingling of his warm hands.

She looked up and saw very few people still left on the beach. Grace wondered how long she and Colin had been out there. It didn't matter. Maybe he would like to sit with her on the beach again. She definitely wanted to. A swim in the ocean sounded even better. As he handed her book to her, she had a visual of the two of them splashing in the surf. Grace could tell Colin would look very good wet.

He had the blanket over his arm, the flashlight in hand. With his other hand, he held hers and led her back to her car. They stood there quietly for a moment. Grace slipped off the jacket and gave it back to him. "Thank you, Colin."

"I'd like to see you again too, Colin. Dinner and a movie sounds good. I haven't been to a movie theater in a while. I usually wait for the DVD and then curl up on the sofa or in bed to watch." The mention of 'bed' had Grace thinking of something else entirely.

She cleared her throat and reached for one of his hands. She let her thumb brush over the top as she pulled gently, hoping he would kiss her once more before they said 'good night.'
