Impossible Dreams
““Shit.” Swinging his chair to face the window as he hung up the phone, Axell glanced out in time to see Katherine and Ralph Arnold scurrying from the building next door. He couldn’t think of anything good coming from a conversation between Maya and the mayor.
He was probably better off letting Maya simmer in peace until she’d had time to cool off. But he’d held her naked in his arms just hours before and the memory of that closeness still warmed the long-empty hollows of his heart. He didn’t want to lose the tentative ties they’d begun to form. If marriage was anything like a business, it had to be tended carefully. With that kind of rational outlook instead of a sentimental one, he should be able to make this marriage work.
Not knowing whether he’d meet the newly confrontational Maya or the fey one, Axell took the stairs two at a time. If nothing else, life with Maya would never be boring. He’d never realized he had such a strong streak of curiosity in him, or that it thrived on cons...tant nourishment.MoreLess
