I know exactly what she means.
It’s the warm wind that she always loved.
It would bathe her skin after we fucked on my parents’ boat. She’d lie naked on her back while she floated down from the high of her orgasm.
I’ll never forget those moments.
The world didn’t exist. It was just the water, the sky and the two of us.
“What else do you remember about the dream?”
“He was there,” she murmurs.
I stop dead in place. “Who?”
Her heavy-lidded eyes drift up to my face. “Who what?”
“You said he was there, Katie.”
Her brows pinch together. “I did?”
There was only ever one he other than me in our relationship. Teddy, the cranky cat that Katie adopted from a woman in our building.
The cat couldn’t fucking stand me, but it loved Katie.
She loved him just as fiercely.
When he died, she was inconsolable.
“You’re talking about old Teddy, aren’t you?” I stop when the back of my knees hit her bed. “
You were dreaming about him being on the boat with us?”
“Teddy,” she says his name on a sigh. “I miss him.”
“I’ll help you forget about him for tonight.” I brush my lips over hers. “I’ll give you something new to dream about.”
Her gaze drops to my hands. “I think I’ll like that dream if it involves you without any pants on.”
My jeans slide to the floor, followed by my boxer briefs. My cock is painfully hard. “In that case, you’re going to love that dream.”
Chapter 47
Kate
Last night is a blur.
I fell asleep but was jarred awake by a text message from Gage telling me he’d be at my place within the hour.
I drifted off again after that so when he knocked on my apartment door, I stumbled to open it.
I told him about my dream.
I didn’t mean to tell him about all of it.
Secrets will find a crack and they’ll seep out eventually.
When my mom said that to me I was fourteen-years-old and a cheater. It wasn’t a boy that I couldn’t stay faithful to. It was my history teacher.
