Rite Men for Maya (9 page)

Tam looked at Maya.

She nodded. “I did, too.”

Tam entered the water and removed his jewel. He pulled her into his arms, then grinned when she wrapped her legs around his waist. “Next time we’ll try out your bed.”

“I’ll hold you to that.” She kissed him.

Kessen pressed his chest against her back and rubbed his fingers between her legs. “One question.”

She let her head loll back against Kessen’s shoulder.

“Where is your phone?”

“Living room somewhere. Don’t know.” She shrugged. “Why?”

“Who cares where that infernal interruption is located? We’re not stopping this time.” Tam surged upwards.

Maya welcomed the intrusion with a satisfied cry. Their dreams had always been hot, but those instances didn’t compare to the real thing. Tam and Kessen were really there, and they were really hers. Nothing would separate them again.

Zenobia Renquist

Whether as D. Reneé Bagby or Zenobia Renquist, Reneé lives in her imagination. When not traveling through her fantasy worlds, she can be found in Maryland living with her husband and two cats.

She is an Air Force brat turned Air Force wife, which means she’s accustomed to travel and does it whenever possible (so long as she doesn’t have to fly). Her favorite pastime is torturing her characters on their way to happily-ever-after for the enjoyment of her readers.

On the few occasions her muse flees the scene of the crime, Reneé likes to read (comics, manga, and romance), go to the movies, play a few levels of whichever puzzle game has hijacked her interest or experiment with a new chain mail weave.
