Chapter 13

Ivy jumped up, breathing hard. In panic, she turned around and saw Max lying beside her. She was with Max. She was home.

Reaching down, she touched her inner thighs. The awkward feeling of her legs straddling a saddle lingered on her sensitive skin. The numbness of her fingers felt like she’d been clenching her hands into tight fists. The dream had seemed so real.

Max, still lying silently beside her, didn’t stir. His breathing was smooth. She moved her eyes down his nudity. The man was remarkably sexy. The thought brought a smile to her lips. Making love–or having sex–with him had not been only great, but probably bordered on perfect. They had come together in such a magnitude that she believed she’d be ruined for all other men. He was a skilled and giving lover. He’d taken her to new heights and she still lingered there.

The morning sun was just beginning to rise over the west hillside. The room was starting to lighten with the new day’s presence. She’d never felt so good. So satisfied. No feelings of guilt or shame lingered. No emotions of regret. Only desire.

She couldn’t believe that Max would feel guilt either. He’d opened up to her. She’d felt like they’d known each other intimately for years. He had touched her with unselfish warmth. In return, she’d given herself. It was a connection like none other.

The rising sun cast more of its golden glow through the window, exposing Max’s body in its graciousness. She examined him more closely. She wanted to know his ins and outs. No doubt that the man was toned and strong. From his broad chest, his slender hips and… She stopped. On his left hip was a birthmark the size of a half dollar. She studied it. The pigmentation was in the shape of a leaf with a pointed tip. She’d never seen anything like it. Someone could have easily painted the permanent mark on his skin because it was perfectly shaped. She reached over and ran the tip of her nail across the contour.

He stirred. Ivy slowly laid back onto the crook of his arm. She didn’t want to get caught ogling his goods, although who could blame her? She stifled a laugh. With man parts like his, one would have to be blind not to admire. And a blind person would enjoy using touch to examine his body.

Max fluttered one eye open and then the other. He pressed his fingers over his eyes. He moved so that he was leaning on one elbow and looking at her. “Hi.” His voice was husky.

She bit her bottom lip as desire ripped through her without mercy. “Hi.”

He whispered into her ear, “So, this was not just a mind-blowing dream?”

“Mmm. If it is, then don’t wake me.” She nestled closer to his warmth. It seemed to seep through her skin and inside her bones.

He took a piece of hair and twisted it around his finger. His eyes were liquid as he looked deep into hers.
