"Pretty rough week?" Jack asked as they walked along the
sand at the edge of the beach.
Genny sighed into the darkness. "Not one of my best. I've
been napping a little, which the doctor says I shouldn't
do, since it disturbs my normal sleeping patterns, but I
haven't really gotten much rest."
"And the dreams?"
She glanced away, her expression suddenly bleak. "Really
bad, Jack. I don't know what I'm going to do."
"I'm sorry, baby. I wish I knew what to tell you."
He was certain he knew how to help her, if only she would
let him. He eyed her high soft breasts, remembering the
way they'd felt in his hands. He wanted her. He had since
the moment he had met her. Then he thought of the promise
he had made and forced his eyes back to her face. "It's
getting kind of late. Maybe we ought to be going back."
She simply nodded. They made their way back along the
beach, but when they finally reached the house, Genny made
no effort to go in.
"Genny...baby, are you all right?"
She only shook her head. "I can't do it, Jack. I can't
face it again tonight." She looked up at him and tears
welled in her eyes. "I keep thinking about my nightmares,
the terrible things I'll see. Come inside with me, Jack.
Make love to me."
Jack took a long slow breath of air. Taking Genny to bed
was what he'd been after from the start. Still, he knew
the kind of man he was, not the sort for a girl like
Genny. "You know he way I am...the way I'll always be. Are
you sure that's what you want?"
Her lashes swept down but they couldn't hide the tear that
trickled down her cheek. "I need you, Jack. I want you to
stay with me, make love to me. I want you to help me
forget my dreams. I want you to make me think only of you
and the things you do to me. Make me forget, Jack--if only
for tonight."
