  crawled right into him, made a home for herself in his broad, strong chest,
  and never emerged again.

  land, his history, and all his myriad obligations. Maximus. Just Maximus.

  He pulled back, his chest heaving, and looked at her angrily. “Don’t start
  something you mean to stop.”
  
  She met his gaze squarely. “I don’t mean to stop.”
