In a dream, hell yeah. “I want nothing more.”
His lips curved slightly.
She tilted her head. Her eyes fell shut and she gave herself to the experience of his moist lips on hers. He didn’t try to invade her mouth. Instead, he drifted his lips over hers and his voice was suddenly in her mind.You taste the way you smell, like you’ve been sipping lemonade with mint. I love it.
He moved closer so that his hips connected with hers. She wasn’t surprised to feel his erection firmly against the juncture of her thighs. Nothing had felt better to her in years. She missed her husband and she hadn’t dated much in Five Bridges.
This moment, with Grant pulling her more tightly into his arms, showed her exactly what she’d been missing.
She leaned into him, moaning heavily. She didn’t care if he knew what she wanted. This was her dream and she was letting loose.
She ran her hands down his arms, letting her fingers ride the dips and swells of his toned muscles. Her breasts felt pushy as she pressed herself against him.
At last, he deepened the kiss and another moan followed as his tongue penetrated her mouth.
He set a slow, seductive rhythm. In and out. A steady pulse. She could hardly breathe.
The ache between her legs grew stronger, more demanding. Would it be so wrong to be with Grant in a dream? If she let go in this way, would she be embarrassed when she saw him again?
She chuckled because she was being ridiculous.
He drew back. “Why are you laughing?” He searched her eyes in that serious way of his.
“Because I’ve been mentally debating whether I should let this happen, even though it’s just a dream.”
“You’ve been debating this?” His brow grew furrowed once more and just like that he released her completely.
She almost reached for him, to beg him to continue. But as he turned in another circle, she watched his shoulders tighten and he stood up straighter.
“What the hell is this?” He called out then whipped back to her. “Dammit, fae woman, this is a fucking dreamglide. What have you done to me? It’s illegal to invade someone’s dreams and pull them into one of these things. I should have known.”
She blinked at least twice then also turned to glance around. He was right. This had to be a dreamglide. She could see now that the edges of the space were blurred. She looked down at the grass and could see through it to her bedroom below.
What didn’t make sense was why the dreamglide was above her bedroom. But then, she’d never made one before. She’d never come close to having that kind of power. Her gifts ranged toward the future and having access to what was to come. She’d even tried more than once to build a dreamglide, but it had never happened for her.
She’d simply accepted her inability and moved on.
Now she was here.
In a dreamglide.
She began to run along the grass all around what was the perimeter of the famous Cloister Garden. She even smiled. Who would have thought she could do such a thing? It was a miracle and yet something didn’t feel right about it.
“What do you have to say for yourself?” Grant shouted. “I could bring you up on charges.”
Her temper rose, and she turned to face. She crossed the grass quickly to stand in front of him. “You would do that? After what we’ve been through?”
“I don’t like being kidnapped.”
“Grant, I didn’t mean for this to happen. I promise you. I don’t know how it did. I’ve never built a dreamglide before. I didn’t think I could and what I really don’t understand is why the dreamglide is above my bed and not above yours?”
“Well, how would I know the answer to that? I’m a wolf and you’ve trespassed.”
“It wasn’t intentional. You have to believe me.”
Maybe it was her sincerity, but her words stopped him. He was still frowning though as he met her gaze. His nostrils flared. “How do I get out of here?”
“I honestly don’t know. Like I said, this was my first time.”
