Chapter Seven

She knew she was dreaming and tried desperately to wake up.

She saw Tyler in a dark room, sitting on a small bed, sobbing. She wanted to rescue him, but couldn't. Then her dream changed and she saw Derek, but he wasn't nice and sweet. He was evil, cruel, as he raised a hand ready to deliver a blow to her face. She screamed and tried to run, but couldn't move. And then Gunnar appeared, looking dangerous and crazed, a fiercely protective glint in his eyes as he grabbed Derek by the collar and jerked him away from her.

Gunnar threw him a few feet away, snarling, "Stay away from my woman."

Then Stella and Gunnar were alone and he was holding her, kissing her, telling her everything was going to be all right, as their clothes melted away and he lowered her over a bed.

"You're mine," he growled as he entered her, filling her, and she screamed.

Stella gasped as she opened her eyes and gazed up at Gunnar looking down at her with a concerned look on his face. Dazed, she glanced around and saw she had fallen asleep on the couch.

"You were having a bad dream. I heard you cry out in your sleep," he said.

She took a moment to catch her breath. The dream was still vivid in her mind as she recalled his strong, warm skin on hers. "What time is it?"

"It's almost midnight."

She shot him a surprised look. "You've been working all this time?" After they returned from the restaurant, she'd hardly seen him except when he came downstairs to eat.

"Yes."

She wondered if he had stayed away all day because of his writing or because of what she'd told him about Elissa. Guilt flared up again in her chest.

"I'm sorry about earlier, Gunnar. I didn't mean to reawaken your pain--" She stopped as he raised a hand.

"I know you meant well. I…" he paused, "I guess I'm having a hard time believing it. If Elissa is wrong…" his voice trailed, leaving her no doubt what he thought.

If Elissa was wrong, he'd be reliving Tyler's death all over again. Her heart ached for him. "I understand," she said softly.

She began to rise from the couch and moaned at the flash of searing pain on her lower back. "This couch is great for sitting, but not for sleeping. My back is killing me." She winced. "Ow."

Deep concern darkened his features. "Why don't you turn over? I'll give you a back rub."

Her face heated up as her dream reappeared in her mind. "No, that's all right. Thanks." Another shaft of pain pierced her back and she gritted her teeth as she struggled to sit up. "So much for my yoga."

"Don't be so hard on yourself. Even professional athletes pull muscles." His look deepened. "Seriously. Lie back down. A back rub will help."

"Oh, I'm sure it will." Her aching muscles were saying yes, but her mind was saying no. Having him massage her left her breathless. "I…no…thanks." She rose. A spasm speared her lower back and she flinched, grimacing in pain.
