I dream about things I can never have with her… Things I’ve had with many others who meant nothing to me. But she… She’s more than I ever imagined possible, and I love her so much that I’ve convinced myself I can live without the part of myself I’ve kept from her. The dream comes back to me in increments, torturing me with sensuous details. I feel betrayed by my own subconscious. It’s punishing me for my deception by showing me what I’ll never have with the woman I love more than life itself. She’s been through hell in the past at the hands of a monster. I can’t risk her thinking I’m depraved when I would die for her. Natalie turns toward me, her hand landing on my chest. She has no idea of the sultry role she plays in my dreams, or the things we do together that can never happen in real life. I’m disgusted with myself and afraid, deeply afraid that I may not be able to live without the things I’ve given up for her. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Truly, madly, deeply in love with these people.” Start the steamy Quantum series now in Kindle Unlimited!
