water. His lips were sweet and warm, and they sent the most delicious shivers down her back.
When he finally released her, it took Sarah a moment to remember where she was. She leaned her head against his chest. Whew! That was intense!
"Bradley," she whispered.
"Yes Sarah," he said as he hooked his finger under her chin and raised it so she could look at him. Then he gave her another soul-stirring kiss that made every shred of resistance she might have felt simply melt away. She wanted to stay in the protective circle of his arms and never move. This is where she belonged.
Bradley gently unwound himself from his embrace with Sarah. "I'll see you tomorrow, Sweet Sarah. Go home and sleep."
He helped her into the car and watched as she drove away. She noticed she was shaking, but this time it wasn't due to fear. She realized she had just met her soulmate - something she thought only happened to people in the movies - not to someone like her.
CHAPTER EIGHT
After everything that had happened to her that day, Sarah was having a really hard time falling asleep. She tossed and turned in bed. She just couldn't get comfortable.
Must be from all the adrenaline when Tony cornered her in the closet, she thought. My God, she had been terrified, no wonder she was on edge. Thank goodness Bradley had noticed the ruckus and had stepped in when he did.
And that, of course, was the most important reason she couldn't sleep.
She had never met anyone she was so attracted to. Certainly she had noticed him when he started working there. Who wouldn't notice a six foot tall bronzed hunk with golden blond hair and deep blue eyes?
Well, she really hadn't noticed the color of his eyes until today. But then, she had never had the chance to look at him that closely to notice the depth of color before. Sitting across from him in the cafeteria, there had been no other distractions. And he had looked at her so intently, it was impossible not to be totally swallowed up in those eyes.
She had liked him from the time she first noticed him. He had been courteous, polite and conscientious. He was a hard worker, always there in the background to make sure things were taken care of around the hospital.
She had always thought he was a good looking guy. And he had always been friendly with her - he'd even flirted a little with her in the past.
But she had no idea at all that he had a crush on her! He had never let on. At least, not until he had told her so today. But once she knew, she had given herself permission to acknowledge that she, too, had noticed him and liked what she saw.
Putting himself in the path of danger by coming to her defense with no thought of his own safety - that had to be one of the bravest things she'd ever seen. And then he had been so sweet, making sure that she was okay - physically as well as emotionally.
She didn't think that her attraction towards him was strictly because he had saved her. At least, she had hoped that wasn't the case. But then, as soon as he kissed her she knew there was a stronger, deeper connection.
She had simply never felt this way before.
Sarah had read stories about "love at first sight". And even though she knew people who claimed it had happened to them, she always thought it was just a myth. Besides, nothing even close to that had ever happened to her.
She had also heard about soulmates. Now that was an idea that intrigued her - that there was one person you matched up with, someone who was the other half of you. One other person, who fit with you in such a way, that when the two of you were together, you made a greater whole.
She remembered her mom telling her about when the Beatles' singer John Lennon had been killed. His wife - Yoko Ono - had taken out a full page ad saying that she and John felt they were two parts of the same person or soul; that they had chosen to experience this lifetime as two separate parts. Sarah wasn't sure she would go that far, but she liked the idea that
