Chapter 77

• All night long, intermittently, we had made love; passionate love, gentle love, discovering and rediscovering our bodies.
• I must have climaxed almost a million times- well, yes, that's an exaggeration- but the heightened desire we felt after the separation he had imposed on us made it feel like a new birth..
• When I came awake in the early hours of the morning, it was to find his powerful warm body beside me, an arm draped across my breasts, stroking my nipples that ached from having been suckled so desperately, so urgently. Whimpering, I stirred, my legs shifting as I moved to face him, my body coming awake to its need again rolling over as he shifted to throw his leg possessively over mine.
