Twenty-Three

Ava woke from the most exquisite dream, flushed and achy.

In her fantasy, Teagan’s thick arms were wrapped around her nude body, pulling her back into his damp chest. Together, they stood in the middle of a shoreless ocean where nothing could come between them. Boundaries between vampire and lycan had no meaning. There, they were simply one man—and one woman.

Warm ocean waves had lapped at her legs while the bright afternoon sun heated her skin. Just before waking, Teagan’s calloused hands had coasted over her sun-kissed flesh, and she pressed deeper into his embrace.

She frowned. Boy, that was one vivid dream. She could still feel Teagan’s calloused palm caressing her—

Wait. A. Minute.

The lycan’s massive frame curled around her back, and his arm circled her waist. No harm in that, except his hand had found its way beneath her tank top, and his large palm grasped her breast. Her pulse quickened.

Oh my. Not a dream.

She must have spent the entire night in his bed. The first full night of dreamless sleep she’d had in days. Seemed her big bad wolf had kept nightmares of Salvatore away.

So, this was what it was like to wake in a man’s bed. Masculine body heat keeping her warm. Strong arms wrapped around her. She found herself melting into his embrace. Far from alarmed, she felt protected.

With a drowsy muttering she couldn’t decipher, he pulled her tighter against his—gulp—massive erection. Seemed she wasn’t the only one dreaming of—oceans. She really should wake him and put a stop to this.

“Teagan?” she whispered.

He burrowed his face into the crook of her neck, prickling her nape with his morning stubble, making her shiver. Again, he muttered something in a grating voice she struggled to make out.

His callused fingers tightened on her breast, palming the weight, then kneading her flesh.

This she understood. Nope. No need to translate. She swallowed thickly.

“Teagan?” she tried again, louder this time.

“Hum?” His hard body tensed behind her, and he lifted his head. She sensed him taking inventory of their intimate position. From the possessive way he’d curled around her to his large palm cupping her breast. His sleepy chuckle tickled her nerve endings. Rather than pull away, he nuzzled his nose against her ear, curling tighter against her back. “Morning, beautiful.”

“Morning, beautiful?” she choked out, trying to sound outraged and falling short. “Is that all you have to say for yourself?”

When the pad of his thumb stroked her tightened nipple, she sucked in a breath. Heat coiled low in her belly, and her mind grew foggy.

“Hey, I’m already to second base. Figure I must have done something right.”

“Teagan!” She sputtered a laugh, squirmed until he released her, and twisted to face him.

Laughter danced in his eyes. She threaded her fingers through the hair on his temple and tucked it behind his ear. By slow degrees, his smile faded. He cupped her cheek, frowning, and brushed his thumb over her lips. “Even prettier with bedhead,” he muttered, sounding disgruntled by the admission.

He dipped his head and pressed his mouth to hers, his lips a tender caress.
