The Maid's Quarters

“Do you remember the day we met?” he whispered in her ear. “You were so formidable and beautiful and determined that day. I fell in love with you then and love you more each day.”
“I love you so, Albert,” she said, as tears trickled into her hair. And then he began to move in her at a faster pace, setting a tempo for them both. Alice gave herself up to the feel of it, the thrust and retreat, and the sounds of their lovemaking, letting go of earthly consciousness for some unidentifiable amount of time. Her husband followed quickly, collapsing onto her, she glad of his weight and the feel of his muscles, now limp and spent, on the length of her.
Albert rolled onto his back and tucked his wife tight to his side. “Sleep now, Alice,” he said. “I will hold you until you are dreaming sweet dreams.”
Hello!

I have also published other American Prairie Romances including Romancing Olive and Reconstructing Jackson, and two novels set in Victorian London, Cross the Ocean and Charming the Duke. I have one women’s fiction novel available as well, Red, White, & Screwed.
