I was met with delicious, unyielding flesh. From my hips to my breasts, I was pressed against him. My nipples tightened and peaked.
My breath sped, my heart hammering in my chest.
His hands left my hair to travel down my back. Fingers inched slowly, painfully slowly, igniting flames in my flesh as they caressed.
When his hands met the small of my back, they stopped their descent, instead spanning my waist and gripping firmly.
I nearly groaned aloud.
I wanted those hands to travel further…
I tugged on his neck, lifting myself as much as possible in hopes to shift his grip to my ass and bring his mouth closer to mine.
A wistful sigh escaped my mouth. He bent, his face dropping to mine.
“That’s it, my mate,” he murmured.
My eyes shot open.
Slowly, my mind adjusted to reality.
A dream. It was just a dream.
Something akin to disappointment twisted my belly.
The dream fell away in bits and pieces. Gods,of courseit hadn’t been real. That would be crazy. Absolute insanity, to let the stranger touch me like that.
…Right?
I didn’t even know his name, for fate’s sake. But annoyingly, my body didn’t seem to care.
Arousal boiled in my veins, setting my nerves aflame.
I couldn’t remember the last time I had been so gut-wrenchingly, toe-curlingly wound up. Never, probably.
Not like this.
I groaned, rolling over to shove my face into the pillow and muffle my private shame.
Sleep would never take me in thisstate.
I was uncomfortably warm, blood rushing through my veins and pooling low in my belly, every nerve in my body ridiculously alert. The brush of the sheets against my skin was enough to make me shiver.
I slipped a hand between my thighs to find myself embarrassingly soaked and slippery.
“Oh,gods,” I moaned, unable to help myself.
His eyes flashed through my mind again. That face, so sure, so cocky. So gorgeous.
The way that scar tugged at his brow and brought even more attention to the annoying beauty of his face.
And those hands… I imagined what he could do with him. The way he could run them over my body, as he did in my dream.
It was only a harmless fantasy…It didn’t mean anything…
I let my eyes fall shut again.
My fingers dipped into my folds. An involuntary sigh left my mouth, and I clamped my lower lip between my teeth. My hips jerked when my fingers circled my clit.
