Professor Love (12 page)
“Do you love me?”
Pansy lurched to the left, unused to two people atop her at once.
Max’s arms reached around Sophy to tug on the reins and mutter a soft threat to the horse, then whispered close to her ear, “
Do you love me
?”
She shivered at his closeness but he did not move away. His warmth and the mingled odors of starched linen and horse pellets surrounded her.
“I am passionate about you,” she said slowly, raising an eyebrow.
Heat crawled up her cheeks as he muttered something about passion in her ear.
“I... uh... lust after you, I think.”
Her eyes widened as he whispered his academic opinion of lust. She was through teasing him.
“I
suppose
I love you,” she sighed dramatically and he pulled back to look in her eyes.
“Damn straight you do.”
His fingers curled around the reins, he rested his hands on Sophy’s spread thighs.
“I love you,” he said quietly.
“I love you too.” Her arms snaked around his waist as he leaned forward in the saddle.
“And hey,” she murmured against his lips, “if it doesn’t work out, I know a really good marriage counselor.”

to go skydiving naked. The woman behind Nikky Kaye would like to spend an evening in bed reading her Kindle and eating M&Ms. Imagination is important for a writer. She also publishes non-fiction under NJS Kaye, which is almost entirely

made up.
