The massive spasm of his big body woke me and nearlysent me flying off his bed.
And then I wasn’t teetering off the edge.
I was in Mo’s arms, those arms so tight around me, I worriedhe’d snap my ribs.
And I couldn’t breathe.
Just awake after coming out of a deep sleep, which cameafter a great fuck, unable to breathe, feeling the strength of him for thefirst time in a way that frightened me, it took me a second to figure out whatthe fuck was going on.
But I heard Mo’s breathing, felt his skin was hot andclammy, and I figured it out.
“Okay,” I pushed out.“It’s okay.It’s okay, baby.I’m righthere.Right here.You’re home.In bed.With me.”
His arms got tighter.
Was he even awake?
I couldn’t tell in the dark in his bedroom.
I forced my hands under his arms, shoved them up his chestand grasped either side of his neck.
“Mo, honey,” I called.
He rolled into me, giving me all his weight.
All of it.
And his arms hadn’t loosened.
God, he was going to suffocate me.
“Mo, baby.”I squeezed out the words as I squeezed his neck.“Wake up.”
“Awake,” he grunted, putting his weight into his arms at myback, taking some of it from me, at the same time relaxing his hold.
I sucked in a big breath.
“Shit,” he whispered.“Fuck,” he said.
Then he let me go and rolled to his back.
Instantly, I rolled into him, climbing him, my chest to his,the rest of my body falling off his side.
“Dream?”I asked quietly.
“Christ,” he replied.
I gave it time, carefully moving my hand to hold his neckand stroking his throat with my thumb.
When his breath came easier and some of the tension went outof his body, I tried again.
“Was it a dream, honey?”
“Yeah,” he said to the ceiling.
It was the Sunday, the morning of the night I was going tomeet his family.
In the ensuing two weeks, I’d met all his buds (and all ofthem were as awesome as Mag was).I’d hung with all of his buds (and hangingwith all of them was as awesome as hanging with Mag was).He’d had dinner withmy family.I’d gone back to the club.He’d been put on some surveillance jobwhere, fortunately, he worked nights so he was working when I was working whichmeant we had most of our time together.
