A hard chest brushed over hers and she shivered as the light dusting of hair teased her nipples.
Oh, yeah.
She was dreaming.
And if she opened her eyes, it would all fall apart. But she had to see.
Open your eyes.
His voice.
She groaned, reaching up for him and curling her hands around his shoulders. I don’t want to. She didn’t say the words, but it didn’t seem to matter. He understood.
You won’t wake up. Not yet. Not ‘til we’re ready.
She sighed, not entirely ready to trust that, but she wanted to see him. Slowly, she lifted her lashes and the hunger burning inside her raged into a wildfire at that beautiful face of his filled her vision. She was touching him, not even realizing it. Scratching stubble abraded her palm and she groaned as his mouth came down, brushing a soft, gentle kiss across her lips.
I need to touch you.
The words echoed around them, although he didn’t speak. She heard him and the words echoed inside her, though her, wrapping around her.
I need you to touch me.
His hands closed around her waist and the simple, pure bliss of his hand cupping her breast left her reeling. His thumb and forefinger worried her nipple while his eyes bored into hers.
It’s not enough.
No. She bit her lip and then bared her soul. I don’t know what will be enough. I need you inside me.
Make love to me.
The dream shifted and reformed. His hands caught hers and his hips settled in the cradle of hers.
Noah!
He was inside her, rocking deep, deep, deep—
The climax exploded through her, shattered her, twisted her inside out—
She came awake on a moan as the climax continued to ripple through her. Shuddering on the bed, she curled one hand into a fist, gripping the sheet tightly as she clenched her thighs together.
This is insane.

Reads like a (constantly recycled) Nora Roberts “love+making” scene.
