She tore away from the violent kiss to alternately catch her breath and scream out nonsensical babble heavy with meaning. Michael murmured wordless masculine reassurances into her ear, his own breathing labored. He pushed himself off her and moved faster still until his arms shook. Pressure built in her abdomen while all her senses went haywire. Something wasn’t right. She should tell him, but she couldn’t speak. The pressure was spreading. It was getting warmer. She was dizzy. She was going to pass out. Electricity was tingling in her toes…up her ankles…now her hands…she was calling his name…stars were shooting…the ocean was crashing in her ears…a cacophony of feeling…
Blackness.
When Sara next opened her weighted eyelids, Michael’s body was heavy on hers. He was giving her a lazy grin and playing with a strand of her hair. “What are you grinning at?”
“You. I’ve never seen you look so relaxed before.”
“I guess you have that effect on me, Michael.”
“Are you still glad we did that?”
She nodded. “You?”
“Are you kidding? I’m just hoping you’ll let me do that again.”
“You really think I might not?”
His face grew serious. “I know it hurt you.”
“Not all of it.” She bit her lip. “I’d say you might have a pretty good chance of getting to do that again with me.” She yawned. “But maybe not yet.”
Michael moved off her and gathered her into his arms, covering them both with the comforter before they drifted off into a blissful sleep.

I noticed that too but I thought you meant to. It kind of works broken up… I figured you wrote the parts separately.
Nope. I’m pretty sure it was a plugin I was trying that I didn’t like. Guess I didn’t ever get around to fixing all the code in the affected chapters after getting rid of it. Oh well. Who has time to monkey with code when there’s so much writing and editing to do?
I’m rereading looking for stuff I might have missed in the earlier chapters. LOVE this chapter (obviously)! Love Sara’s thoughts here! Tingly, lol.
I just wish I could figure out why the chapter is split into six different pages? Can’t decide if I’d like it better if it were just one long screen.
