to him while he had his arms wrapped about her, clutching her close as his body pulsed through wave after wave of the purest pleasure. It was beyond scope. Nearly impossible to imagine. Perfect bliss snatched at him. Grabbed tightly. And then claimed ownership. Every prior experience he’d ever had in semantwist got annihilated. Blasted into oblivion. And overwritten by something that sent a stab of tears to his eyes.
    Mating had been described in basic words to him. This act of love had been mentioned. There hadn’t been anything said about how deep the feeling would be when it hit. Nor how beautiful. She was watching him as the pleasure started ebbing. Any power he claimed started evaporating. With very little warning. There was a gloss of moisture atop her eyes, illumining them into green-shaded pools of mystery. She smiled. His heart gave an almost painful surge. He didn’t move. He didn’t dare.
    A shadow of something that could be doubt crossed her features. He wouldn’t allow that. Anso returned her smile. He should have waited. That simple gesture drained the last vestige of his strength. They dropped. He spun just before they landed, taking the brunt of it on his back. The mattress jounced with their arrival before resettling.
    And that’s when he started laughing.

CHAPTER SIX
    Something was seriously wrong here.
    She hadn’t awakened.
    Leah wasn’t thinking of being jolted to awareness by an alarm, or a phone, or some other outside interference. The dimensions of this fantasy should have triggered wakefulness. Dreams were not this vivid. Not hers, anyway. She’d never encountered anything like this. The pleasure hadn’t just been orgasmic. That might have been in an acceptable range. No. What she’d just experienced was earth-shattering. Foundation-shaking. Almost scary.
    This couldn’t be a dream. It really might be a drop off the cliff of sanity. And sooner or later, even hallucinations had to end. Reality was going to intrude. That was going to hurt. She wondered if there was some way to mute this dreamscape down any. Keep it from being so damn big.
    What a misnomer.
    She wasn’t just dreaming big here.
    This was over-the-top enormous.
    This vision was one for the record books. Of course, she’d have to tell someone about it first.
    Oh! What an impossible concept! How could she describe the most gorgeous guy she’d ever seen? That was already huge. She needed better words, but couldn’t think of any at the moment. He was beyond handsome. Built. Perfectly formed. And he knew exactly how to use it. Everything about Anso was large. And that laugh of his! Holy crap . The guy had a deep booming laugh that sent echoes through the rooms as it faded. Big didn’t even begin to describe the enormous bed that had just materialized for her either, nor a mattress up to the challenge of some really big lovemaking moves...with a lot of thrust and power behind them. She hadn’t even factored in the weight. She mustn’t forget that. She wasn’t a stick-thin woman, but Anso was beyond heavy. The guy rocked some solid muscle. That equaled a lot of poundage. Even now, he dented the mattress so that her body stayed suctioned to him – not that she’d have moved.
    Perish that idea! Move? No way. She’d never felt more cherished. More desired. More beautiful. Nor more womanly.
    Ever.
    Too bad it was all in her mind.
    She must have felt more emotion over her break-up than she’d thought. Stuffed it deep into her psyche where even she didn’t notice. And, while it was bad timing, it was possible. Deep-seated emotional trauma could trigger Generalized Anxiety Disorder that could be followed with a Delusional Disorder. That diagnosis might fit her predicament. Only this delusion wasn’t frightening or sinister, like some of her patients had described to her during therapy sessions. Leah was living her very own perfect private paradise. And that’s when she made her decision. It might be a mistake, but if this was
