Olivia has been plagued with nightmares her whole life. She tries to deal with them like an adult…she really does…until the magical night she catches Bill naked in the living room, and discovers a new way to make all her bad dreams go away forever!
~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~
Finally I did fall asleep…and tumbled headlong right into one of my most common nightmares. I was trapped out in the snow in just my thin summer nightgown and bare feet. Wolves were snapping at me, just barely missing me with their gleaming six-inch fangs, and their eyes glowed ruby-red as the blizzard whipped by me. I turned to run, but my feet were frozen in the snow, and I couldn’t move. I fell, and the first wolf attacked…
I woke with a muffled scream, and was halfway across the room before I realized the vicious hellhounds weren’t really chasing me. But I couldn’t stay in my bedroom any longer; it was closing in on me. Breathlessly I raced into the narrow hallway, then leaned against the wall and gulped for air.
The floor was icy-cold under my bare feet, but firelight was dancing out in the living room. It looked warm and safe. I headed for the inviting golden glow…then skidded to a stop just inside the doorway.
Bill was sprawled across the comfortable leather couch, naked as a newborn baby.
I knew what I was staring at, of course…I’d studied human anatomy the year after I’d aced my animal husbandry classes. And I’d been living on the farm all my life; I’d seen animals mating ever since I could walk. The male body was no mystery to me…from a clinical standpoint.
But I’d never seen a naked human male body before, and it was totally different, somehow, than pencil sketches in a health book. I gasped…and Bill jumped a mile, and guiltily fumbled for the soft blanket he always draped over one worn armrest. It didn’t help a lot; the blanket bulged up in a huge tent that was even more revealing than not having it there at all…
