The Seventh Night (1993)
“Last night…the wine…Reid…. Oh, God, what had happened?
Looking down at the rumpled cover, I realized I still wore the dress I’d had on at dinner. And as my eyes took in the rest of the bed, I saw that I was alone. Thank goodness, it had all been just another, fantastic dream.
My head throbbed with relentless precision. A hangover with only a few sips of wine? Just my luck….
Swinging my legs over the side of the bed, I sat for a moment, clutching my temples while inside my head the illusory imag...es that wouldn’t go away spun and whirled.
Reid had kissed me. That much I knew to be true because even my dreams hadn’t conjured up anything that good. Even now the memory of his mouth against mine had the blood pulsing through my veins, and I could feel myself blushing.
How could I face him now?
A fresh wave of panic gripped me. How could I ever dare look him in the eye after I’d all but thrown myself at him? The wine—even so little—had completely lowered my inhibitions, my reservations, my doubts.MoreLess
