I'll Be Seeing You Through Time (The Dimension Keepers) Read Online Free PDF

this afternoon. Thanks again for calling…goodbye.” She set the phone on the cradle. Picking up the package, she walked to the lunchroom and put on her coat. Brenda started to say something but she didn’t hear it because she was already out the door.
    Numb, Jewel walked to the post office. She watched the man weigh the package and then handed him the money for the parcel. She didn’t wait for the change. When she came back outside, the sun was bright. Too bright. It hurt her eyes.
    When she reached the boarding house she stood at the door to her room and didn’t know how she got there. She reached into her pocket for the key. Her finger touched something furry. No, she couldn’t think about that for another moment. Shoving open the door, she shut it behind her, locked it, and then moved to the drapes to pull them closed.
    Jewel kicked off her shoes in the closet, took off her dress and hung it next to the other two. She started to slide the straps of her slip off her shoulders, but it seemed like too much work. Unsteady, she moved into the back to the door and reached for her coat. Sliding her hand in the pocket, she found the rabbit foot. The last night she saw Glenn, he must have slid it into her pocket without her knowing. She’d only found it when she’d worn the coat again.
    She stared at it. “It was his, not mine. It was his lucky rabbit foot,” she whispered. “Why did he give it to me?” She blinked back tears. “He needed it. Why didn’t he keep…”
    Clenching it tight in her hand, she moved to the bed and sat on the edge. She stared at the small furry foot for hours. Night came and the room grew dark. It didn’t matter. She couldn’t move even if she wanted to. Exhaustion finally overtook her. There were no more tears left… at least until tomorrow.

    Somewhere in-between

    Jewel rolled to her side and warm arms embraced her. She snuggled deeper.
    “Don’t cry, it will be all right.”
    “Glenn… but you’re…”
    “Hush, I’m here.” He pulled back and gently kissed her mouth. “Why did I say no that last night together?”
    She smiled up at him. “I’m not sure.”
    “Sometimes you shouldn’t listen to your brain and listen to your heart instead.”
    One more kiss from those rugged lips and she was his. Who was she kidding? She was already his.
    Always his.
    Once again his lips brushed hers. He scooped her tighter and kissed her cheek, her jaw, and her eyebrow. “You’re so beautiful and I’ve missed you so much,” he whispered.
    The kiss grew heated. She’d be damned if she was going to let him slip away this time. She broke away and stood. With what she hoped was a seductive smile, she slipped her slip’s strap off one shoulder and then the other, then stepped out of the garment. But Glenn didn’t seem to notice, he was staring at her lace-covered breasts.
    He stood. Jewel helped him remove his clothes and then hers until they faced each other, naked.
    Her hands tingled with the need to touch him. She ran her hands up his bared chest and felt the muscles jump from her caress. He had an amazing body. Muscled stomach, broad shoulders and just enough dark chest hair to run her fingers through. Jewel’s nails grazed his ribcage and he hissed in a breath through his mouth.
    He led her to the bed and pulled her across his lap. Her hair dropped over her eye as her bare buttocks slid across him. She breathed in the taste of him. Glenn’s hand moved across her shoulder, down her arm, and cupped her breast. He thumbed the nipple.
    Jewel closed her eyes and let her head drop. She should be nervous, but this was all so perfect. The way it should be. His lips closed over the bud of her breast and she sighed.
    Everywhere he kissed, he nipped with his teeth, a sign of possession, showing her she was his.
    He slid her off his lap and pressed her back onto the bed. Where am I? She suddenly wondered as she took a second to look at the room. The beige walls were smooth with white drapes
