back then rushed
from her room to Noah’s.
“ Hurry! ” she said in a loud whisper as she burst
through the master bedroom’s double doors.
Noah bolted into a sitting position, yanking a sheet to his
waist at the same time. “Maggie, what the—”
“No time. Just hurry.”
Without further delay he jumped off the bed, grabbed his
boxers and yanked them up over his naked body.
His gorgeous, naked, aroused body.
She gave only a split second to the awareness that he must
have been doing the same thing she had when she was interrupted. Then she
grabbed his hand and pulled him across the common area to her room.
“I heard a woman humming. It was coming from the bathroom
and then it must have been like what you saw with the man in your room. Just
look.” She waved for him to precede her so he did.
She watched Noah walk in but the moment he moved she could
see the mirror was back to being a mere reflection. She sighed. “She’s gone.
And you didn’t see her, did you?”
He came out of the bathroom, shaking his head. “No, but I
believe you.” Without turning on any lights he walked around the room, stared
into the mirror above the dresser and came back to her. “I’m intrigued by the
fact that you’ve heard something twice now. Could it have been the same
woman?”
“I only heard three words the first time. I want to say this
was a different voice but I really can’t be sure. More important, I don’t think
it was just one-way. Noah, I said ‘hello’ and she reacted.”
“Holy shit. This is fantastic. Exactly how did she react?”
“She made the sign of the cross, like a Catholic, and then
asked her angels for protection. She had an Irish accent.”
He paced back and forth very quickly. “This is just too
fucking cool! Would you have any objection to our switching rooms tonight?
Maybe—”
“No way,” she blurted out. “I mean, I don’t care about
switching. I’ll sleep in whichever room you say, just so I’m not alone.” She
took a deep breath. “I felt the chill again. Like the other two times.”
“Two?”
Maggie made a face. “Yeah. Two. I didn’t tell you but I put
it in the notes about the Amethyst Cave.”
Noah pulled her close and rubbed her arms. “Your skin is ice
cold. Are you feeling okay?”
She relaxed her head against his bare chest and nodded. His
hands slowed to a stroking pace then moved to her back. “Actually feeling
better every second.”
“You certainly are,” he murmured and kissed the top of her
head. “Maggie, you know I find this kind of thing really…exhilarating. But if
it’s too weird for you, I’ll understand.”
She stepped back, took his hands in hers and looked up at
his way-too-handsome face. “It is definitely very high on my weirdness scale.
But I’m not feeling terrified. I know part of that is because I’m convinced you
know what you’re doing. But the other part is, well, I’m also intrigued. I want
to know who that was in my bathroom and who I heard in the bar. I never would
have imagined saying this but I want to know if it’s the same ghost or
different ones and whether my hearing her, or them, means something
significant.”
By the time she finished her little speech, he was grinning
broadly. “Thank god. I really wouldn’t have understood.”
She laughed. “So you were just being polite?”
“Sort of. What I’m going to say next is being really, really
polite. You said you don’t want to be alone but we agreed—”
She cut him off by pressing a finger to his lips. “Just pick
the room. Yours or mine?”
Without another word he swept her up in his arms and carried
her to the larger room with the bigger bed. And she left all her concerns
behind.
With Noah she didn’t have to worry about feeling
indifferent. She already knew he only had to kiss her and she would be ready
for him to slide into her body. And oh how she really wanted to feel his cock
inside her. Instead of taking her straight to the bed, however,
from her room to Noah’s.

through the master bedroom’s double doors.
