Excerpt:
“Don’t think this is a common thing for me,” she said, trying to keep coherent thoughts as he kissed her neck and hugged her close to his powerful frame. Her eyes half closed, she reached up and stroked his face. “I don’t usually act like this with men I just met.”
“I know.”
“How do you know?”
“Just a feeling. Sometimes that’s all you have to go with.”
She turned, gazing up at him. His sapphire eyes stared intently into hers. Her hands slid up his arms and across his impossibly broad shoulders. What did he feel like under all those clothes? Was his chest smooth or hairy? Did he have scars? He must.
Angela took his hand as they walked to the couch and sat.
Staring into her eyes, Abe said, “I always thought you were pretty, but in person you’re beautiful.”
“What do you mean in person?”
“Jim showed me family pictures sometimes. You were there.”
She smiled. “Yeah, I guess I would be. You and Jim were good friends for a long time. We wondered why we never met you.”
“Jim used to ask me to spend the holidays when he came home to visit, but I always turned him down. You all are a family and I felt like I didn’t belong.”
His words tugged at her heart.
“I’m sorry you felt that way. You would have been very welcome.”
She reached out to caress his face. After a moment, he shut his eyes briefly and leaned into her hand before tugging her even closer to kiss her again.
