From the first moment, the room had felt like a bubble of serenity, almost like a snow globe, a safe place where nothing could hurt her. But she’d never pictured anything as raw and wild as what she’d just experienced with Jeb Stone. She lay next to him, catching her breath, basking in the heat that radiated from his solid body. The sound of his jagged breathing filled the quiet room. She listened as his breath returned to normal. The sweat began to cool on both of their bodies. She huddled close to him, felt his strong arm come around her. And the question that had been simmering in her mind bubbled over. “What was it like before the last five years?” “What?” Yes, she had to admit, it was a confusing question. “You and your ex stopped having sex five years ago. But what was your relationship like before then? Because you’re . . . well . . .” How could she put this? “You’re a fantastic lover.” Scalding heat washed across her face. That wasn’t exactly what she meant to say, though it was true.
