This weeks Snippet Saturday theme is “A dream” It was super easy for me and I knew immediately what I wanted to post. This scene is the prologue to The Devil Inside, the first story in the SEXY DEVIL anthology, and the first one I ever wrote that had paranormal elements in it. I had so much fun with it that I kept going with those characters, which is how PRIMAL MALE, NO ANGEL and ROCK MY WORLD came to be.
She couldn’t look away.
He had her wrists above her head, pinned against the mattress, and his eyes locked on hers as his hips thrust forward to slide gently into her body. Her pulse raced and she wrapped her legs around his waist, holding him tight. His rhythm picked up speed and she whimpered, her sex tightened around him, her body trembling with the strength of her approaching orgasm. Her heavy eyelids drooped, but she couldn’t let them fall, couldn’t look away from the well of emotions overflowing from his eyes.
“I love you, Gina,” he whispered.
Joy filled her and she cried out, every fiber within her strung taut as she squeezed him between her thighs. She squeezed harder and thrust her hips again – and felt nothing but emptiness. He was gone, and her thighs pressed only against each other.
A loud groan of frustration echoed through Gina Devlin’s empty bedroom as she opened her eyes and pressed a hand against her heated forehead.
Another dream. Another faceless lover with eyes that looked deep into her soul and filled her heart, while he filled her body. Flopping over onto her back in the queen-sized bed, Gina kicked at the tangled sheets and let the cool air dance across her overheated skin.
She was used to dreams waking her up. When she was a little girl, all her premonitions had come in the form of dreams. But as she grew, so did her skill at manipulating and controlling her gift. Now she could use touch, smell, or even strength of will to bring forth a vision when she needed to.
And normally she could block them with equal ease.
She’d had to learn how to block the random psychic vibrations that floated around people or she wouldn’t have been able to live a normal life. But at night, when she sought peace in sleep, sometimes the dreams still came.
The dream with the faceless lover declaring his love had been with her for years, and she wondered if it really was a premonition, or just wishful thinking on her part.
She’d longed for a man to love her as she is for so long, it was more fantasy than dream.
Closing her eyes once more, Gina Devlin trailed a hand over her belly and past the small patch of tight curls. Trying to forget the familiar ache of loneliness in her heart, she concentrated on easing the ache of emptiness between her thighs.
