βI never thought I deserved to be loved. Not like this. Not for who I am. It has always been about sex; about being wanted for my looks and charm and because I could please a woman in bed. It was never about me. I still do not know what is special about me, that you would choose to risk your precious life for me.β
She smiled again, thinking that he sounded a lot like her. Maybe being special was all about what another person saw. Maybe no one ever saw themselves as special.
βWe have come a long way, you and I,β she said softly. βAnd I expect we have a long way still to go. But as long as we are together it is worth the journey.β
βWhat would you like to do with your new life now that you have it?β she asked, after a comfortable silence had fallen between them and Marco had slid to the side of her so she could breathe again.
βI do not know,β he said as he stroked damp hair back from her face. βI have never had the opportunity to choose. I would like to see more of the world. Places in history. I would like to travel through time. Is that possible?β
She shrugged and nodded. βIt is possible. You will need to do a lot of study first, if you want to be a Researcher. Retrievers β people like me β do not require that level of knowledge but Researchers are experts in their fields. They have to know how to gather and evaluate information from their source. You cannot take a holiday in the past. We visit it for work only.β
Marco frowned. βThen I probably will not be able to do this. I am not a scholar. I am an ignorant waiter.β
βHow many languages do you speak fluently?β she asked.
βFour. And two more I can get by in. Why?β
βYou have to have a good mind to be able to understand and remember languages. It might take a bit of time for you to become a scholar but you now have all the time in the world. And while you are studying you can take virtual tours of places other Jumpers have been. It is almost as good as being there. When Giarn debriefs you can actually experience the Titanic sinking if you want.β
βHow is that possible?β he demanded in amazement.
βMy beloved, so much is possible here. You have no idea. And you have as many years as you need or want to explore what is possible.β
βThank you.β
She didn't ask for what. She already knew how long that list was for him, and her list was almost as long. But the gratitude they both felt was only partly due to the other. Ultimately, it was meant for whatever hand guided their fate and had brought them together in this perfect world. As the joyful tears welled up and threatened to overtake her once more, she answered for that guiding hand.
βYou are very welcome...β
Their lips met again in a long, languid kiss as the midday sun beyond the open window bathed their bodies in light.

AUTHORβS NOTE
It was a difficult decision to make permafree this ebook that took so much time and energy to write. On one hand, I donβt want my work devalued, on the other, having new readers discover and enjoy my wonderful world of New Atlantis is important to me.
If you have enjoyed this book and meeting the gang from New Atlantis, why not read their individual love stories in the rest of the New Atlantis series. You can find out more about these titles by visiting my website www.nhysglover.com
Book 1 NINE LIVES: Jac and Caraβs story
Book 2 THE DREAMERβS PRINCE: Jane and Julioβs story
Book 3 SAVAGE: Luke and Faithβs story
Book 7 THE KEY: Bart and Katβs story
And you can also follow their lives after their HEAs in the other books in the series.
Lastly, other readers (and me too) enjoy reading your reviews. Please consider reviewing this book on Goodreads, Smashwords or anywhere you know people looking for good romances might go. You will be helping to value my efforts in a concrete way.
Thanks
x Nhys
