Wynne kissed Derek in her dream, a wet, hungry kiss that fused their lips together and had their tongues tangling. Her fingers sank into his thick hair, then raked down over his bare back, her nails scraping languorously over his skin. His hand slipped under her shirt, cupping her breast, immediately finding and stimulating her nipple. Moaning, Wynne arched her body up and into his. His knee rode high between her thighs, pressing against her throbbing sex, and his body was a tempting weight on hers.

Mmm.

Dreams could be so wonderful, so delicious…so realistic. So realistic that Paige’s sleepy voice suddenly intruded in the dream. Wynne couldn’t make out her daughter’s words at first, over the pounding of her frantic heart. Then it became clear.

“Mama? What’s Daddy doing in your bed?”

As though coming out of an alcohol-induced stupor, Wynne pried her eyes open, blinking into the dimly lit semi-dawn glow of her bedroom.

And realized she was still locking lips with Derek. It hadn’t been a dream.

“Mama?”

Paige’s voice got louder and closer. Frantically, Wynne shoved at Derek’s chest and pushed him away from her. He groaned and rolled over, blinking blearily, rubbing his hand over his bare chest.

“What’d you do that for?” he asked, his voice low and raspy.

“Our daughter,” she whispered.

Paige hopped up onto Wynne’s side of the bed, crawling across Wynne to settle between her and Derek. As she wriggled beneath the covers, Wynne sighed. Thank God for her daughter’s habit of climbing into bed with her whenever she had a bad dream. Paige had just saved Wynne from yet another lapse in judgment.

“Did you have a bad dream, sweet pea?” Wynne asked, smoothing a silken blonde curl away from Paige’s face.

Paige nodded, sticking out her lower lip and giving Wynne puppy eyes. “I dreamt that a big red dog came and bit Daddy and he had to go away.”

Wynne’s heart squeezed in her chest. Paige’s nightmares frequently featured dogs since she was terrified of them in all shapes and sizes. But that her daughter was dreaming Derek had to leave broke Wynne’s heart.

Derek gathered up Paige in his arms and snuggled her against his chest. “I’m not going anywhere, sweetie.” He kissed the top of her head. “Nothing could ever make me leave you.”

“Not even if you had to go back to work in Californium?” Paige asked, wrapping her arms around Derek’s neck.

Derek’s eyes met Wynne’s in the dim light, filled with an emotion she couldn’t quite discern. “Not even then,” he said quietly.

She tried not to feel a pang of loss that her daughter had sought comfort from Derek instead of her. For four years she’d been the only one with Paige in the middle of the night, from breastfeeding to nightmare banishing. In just a short period of time, Derek had stepped in and become another important link in Paige’s life. It still took some adjustment on Wynne’s part to grow accustomed to her shared role of parent.

“Why are you in Mama’s bed?” Paige asked, her voice sounding sleepy again.
