Karsia linked her fingers around his neck, sliding her body along his until Morgan was forced to lie back. His arms moved around her waist and she planted herself on him.

How delicious to lose herself while she still retained control. Air lifted them off the ground and she felt as though they flew. His scent seduced her and he murmured her name, wrapped himself around her heart and refused to let go. No man had ever taken her over so completely or easily.

Damn. There really was no going back.

Morgan kissed her gently, his tongue tasting as his fingers trailed along the exposed bit of skin near her hips. The two of them there together was anything but lonely. It made her feel like the only woman in the universe.

She changed the angle of their kiss and brought their pleasure to staggering heights. If possible, she would have crawled inside of him then. Her legs sprawled on either side of his abdomen as their tongues tangoed, blood heated, and teeth nibbled.

She lost her breath there, gave it to him and wanted nothing in return. Guilt flashed through her, that she was here in a dream world kissing a handsome man instead of finding a way to fix herself.

Then she felt the slight trembling of his hands. It helped knowing she wasn’t the only one affected.

“I would love to stay here with you,” Morgan began breathlessly, glad they were lying down. “But I can feel the threads of reality pulling me. Our time is up.”

The real world beckoned, though he would give anything to stay, to see her eyes cloud over and see what pleasure he could bring to them both. His skills were a little rusty but surely, with practice, he would come out on top again.

“No, I don’t think so.” She ran her hands along his arms. “Give us more. You can do that, can’t you?”

He hated to move, to break the contact and return to a world where she would rather spit on him than touch him. Still, he felt the two realities merging, his physical body returning to wakefulness.

“Not this time. I’m afraid if I don’t leave now, I never will, and there will be serious repercussions.”

Karsia placed a final kiss on the tip of his nose. “I’m glad we got a chance to know each other. Will you come find me again?” she asked. “While we search for answers?” Then she whispered softly near his ear. “You’re the sweetest dream I’ve ever had.”

That last statement undid him. He pulled away from her, the words of his promise bursting forth. “I will. You can count on it.”
