He tilted her chinup, his fingers gentle. “You came from a very loving home withlove and harmony, so it is easy for you to have that kind of view.She was afraid of him-”
“ElizabethConnelly is strong-”
“She was notback then.” He kissed her lightly. “You must have knownthe man to realize what I am talking about. And on that note, Iinsist we drop the topic. I have to leave early in the morning andwant to concentrate completely on my wife. Is that all right withyou?”
“Absolutely.I picked out the perfect bedroom for us to spend the night.”
“Is thatright?” Rising with her tucked into his arms, he exited theroom and up the stairs.
“Let’s see, shall we?”
But he could notsleep. After making love to her twice, she had fallen asleep in hisarms. He relished the feel of her slender naked curves against hisand was dreading going away for days and not having her in his armslike this. The conversation with his mother had brought back badmemories.
There were things hehad never discussed with anyone, not even his therapist. Oneparticular episode stood out in his mind. And it stuck inside hiscraw. He had been sixteen years old and had brought a friend home.
She had been nineteenat the time and was home for spring break. She had also been a familyfriend. His mother had gone away for the weekend to spend some timewith her maiden aunt, who was ill.
Brennan had believedhis dad would be out for the night, as was his practice. He had beenin the middle of the act when the door was pushed open, and his dadcame walking in with a broad smile.
“Well, son,what have we here?”
He rememberedfreezing up and practically turning to stone. Jenna had let out astartled scream, burying her face into his chest.
“JennaMaitland, is that you?” Bart had come further into the room andsat on the side of the bed. “What would your dear old dad haveto say about you being here like this? What with him being such astickler and all?”
Brennan had used thattime to scramble off her and pull the sheets to cover them both.
“Dad, pleaseleave.”
“Now, son, isthat the way to talk to your old man? We are accustomed to sharingeverything, are we not?”
“Dad, pleasedon’t do this.”
“Well,Jenna.” There had been an amused look on his face. “Wantto be with a real man? My son is just starting and is not veryexperienced. Why don’t we have fun and forget about me tellingyour old man what a proper slut you are?” He had started takingoff his clothes by then, and Brennan had felt the sickness coilinginside his gut.
“Don’t doit.”
“It’sfine, Brennan.” Jenna had told him quietly.
“Jenna, youdon’t have to.” The backhanded slap had landed himagainst the headboard, his lip split and bleeding.
“If you do notwant to participate or watch, get out.” Bart had told himcoldly.
Brennan had fled andwondered what had happened inside his room for a very long time. Hehad asked Jenna about it a few days later, but she had told him ithad worked out. “He was terrific in bed, so it was no bigdeal.”
Closing his eyes, hekissed the top of his wife’s head. He was no longer back therein that awful place, was he? He was a different person now and inlove with a beautiful woman. Eventually, he was going to shake theterrible stain of his past.

She woke up with hismouth on her body. The delicious feeling his mouth was doing to hersent heat rising inside her. A murmur left her lips, soft as awhisper. Her eyes were still closed, but her senses were heightened,her pulse beating unsteadily.
His lips were soft asa feather as they slid from her neck to her throat, his tonguetasting, just the tip of it on her skin. He nibbled his way downuntil he was toying with the already-hardened nipple. Her fingerscurled into the soft thickness of his hair, her body primed and readyfor him.
A soft cry escapedher, body arching when he tugged the nipple inside his mouth andstarted suckling. Sensations, an avalanche of them, tumbled aroundinside her body until she was writhing restlessly, seeking more, no-needing more of him.
Her body begged,heaving towards him until he covered her - sliding into her wetwarmth. His eyes - sizzling with heat and feverishly bright, boreinto hers.
Her legs liftedto lock around his waist, her fingers digging into his skin. His headbent towards hers, his lips whisper soft as they kissed her cheeks,the sides of her lips. He whispered words of love, his deep voiceaching and intense. She opened up for him, her lips parting to accepthis tongue.
