Chapter Seven

It had been one hell of a day. Or maybe yesterday had been, because it was no doubt after midnight when Michelle awoke to find herself surrounded by Alex Stafford’s body. Even in sleep, he clung to her like a barnacle.

Her body had that pleasantly exercised feel that good sex left as a little lagniappe—a reminder to bring back the glow. But, wow, that had been more than good. It had been more than sex. Her mind would take a while to wrap itself around everything that had happened to her in the past several hours. Alex Stafford had deliberately come into this cottage to make love to her. He’d even brought condoms, proving he’d planned for the encounter. Instead of berating her as he had on that afternoon when he’d found her with Phil, he’d taken her into his arms and shown her delights beyond what she’d imagined possible. It was a minor miracle, when you thought about it. He’d made the place of her humiliation into the place of newfound joy.

With some effort, she eased his arm from around her and slid out of bed. Still naked, she went to the bathroom. The light might wake him, so she went inside and closed the door before hitting the switch. After using the toilet, she went to the sink to wash her hands and found someone who looked like her staring back from the mirror.

Michelle and not Michelle. Her hair was wild, and her cheeks seemed flushed. Possibly from contact with the stubble of his beard. And he’d left a mark at the base of her neck. Her teddy bear of a lover had a savage side. Cute, but she’d have to hide it. His family might put two and two together and come up with Alex and Michelle spending the night together, but they didn’t need to see the evidence.

He did want you, she told her younger self. Things worked out exactly the way you dreamed. The fantasy came true.

She giggled, and put her hand to her mouth to stifle the sound. The giggling didn’t stop but turned to laughter. Almost hysterical, shaking her body. She had to lower the top of the toilet and sit to get control of herself.

Little Mickey Dennis had seduced the famous linebacker. The nerd had made one of the most desirable men on the planet want her. None of this would last, of course. He’d go back to dating glamorous women, and she’d go back to her academic life. But at least for the next few days he was hers. Hers!

She had to keep her wits about her and not make this brief affair into more than it was. He hadn’t trusted her with the fact of his learning disability, so he hadn’t truly opened up to her. She couldn’t involve her heart nor expect him to give her his. But for now, she could bask in the glow of knowing he saw her as a woman. He’d never again treat her like a stupid child.
