Chapter Eleven

Cara

The moment you begin to wake from a dream of perfection, the one you want to remain in because it was complete ecstasy… The moment you’re running through a field and your body soars, when the man you’ve wanted for so long confesses you’re the one for him, or the moment you’re making love in a dream and the most intense orgasm of your life begins…and then your eyes open the hell up.

I groaned and turned on my side. Reaching to my clit, I rub my fingers vigorously in hopes of capturing the last essence of the climax that teased at the surface of my consciousness. The hardened bundle of nerves pulsed as if to mock my attempt. The sensation disappeared as quickly as it came.

A different type of groan—one of frustration—escaped this time. With a sigh, I relaxed my arms and longed for sleep to pull me back under. It was Sunday, and I had nowhere to be.

Then I felt my bed move, and fear raced up my spine. No one was here with me, were they?

Last night came back in a flash.

The nightclub.

The fire.

Noah.

I opened my eyes and stared at my ceiling. I was on the right side of the bed. Normally, I would be right in the middle with a fortress of pillows. Not this morning, though.

Was Noah in my bed asleep? Did he stay the night? We had sex… No, we had made the most incredible love last night. It went much deeper than any previous time I was with him. Hell, it was more than I ever experienced with Jeremy. Noah touched a part of my soul.

Closing my eyes, I took in a deep breath, then turned my head toward the left side of my bed. When I opened them once more, there was Noah, sound asleep. His body was turned to face mine. His face was gentle and soft. A shadow of a beard touched his cheeks, lips, and chin. His eyes danced side to side behind his lids. What was he dreaming about? Me? Fighting fires?

I don’t remember the last time I had a man sleep over. In fact, we hadn’t discussed him staying. We must have fallen asleep after sex. It was late. He had worked a long shift, and then there was the nightclub fire.

Curiosity grew as I stared at the man in my bed. What would it be like to wake up next to him every morning? Or be by his side every night? Would he even want to take what we had that far and choose to stay with me? What about Marshall? What about my teaching?

Everything would find its rightful place in due time. Right now it was figuring out what this was between us and if this was what I wanted. I liked Noah. I really liked him. I could see myself with him, side by side. Grocery shopping, the movies, holiday events.

But I never considered myself a parent. Did I want children? Sure, one day, but taking on the role of stepmother wasn’t high on my agenda.
