Chapter 11

Roxanne started and woke when a hand on her shoulder shook her. She blinked up at Abe, who was leaning down over her. She felt slightly disoriented.

“What?” She looked down and saw Cici was fast asleep with her head in her lap. “What time is it?”

“A little after eleven. I just got back a few minutes ago.”

“We fell asleep partway through the movie. It was a really long day for both of us.” She tried to lift Cici into her arms but Abe stopped her.

“Let me take her.” Abe easily lifted Cici into his arms and let Roxanne lead the way upstairs.

She pulled the covers back and had him lay Cici down while she removed her shoes. She whispered, “I’m going to let her sleep in her clothes tonight, I don’t want to wake her up.”

She could feel Abe watching her as she kissed her daughter’s forehead. “Goodnight sweetheart.”

Roxanne stood up and walked to the door. She felt him watching her with those dark sexy eyes of his. It mad her shiver with anticipation.

She should tell him goodnight and shut the door, but she didn’t. She followed him out of the room and shut the door behind her. Then they headed back downstairs without saying a word. She straightened up the couch and turned off the television while Abe secured the windows and doors.

The lights dimmed and she stood still, knowing he was coming up behind her. “Abe, I’m sorry about earlier.” She turned to face him.

He was just inches from her and reached out to cup her cheek. “I was moving too fast for ye. This isn’t the best of times to romance a woman.”

She tilted her head and smiled at him. “You wanted to romance me?”

“Hoping, I was hoping to. God, ye’re so beautiful.” He caressed her hair, moving it from her face.

Roxanne could continue to fight this pull between them, but did she really want to? Her mom always encouraged her to take a chance on life, even if it didn’t turn out how she planned. Could she do that now?

She took a deep breath and released it. “Maybe there isn’t a perfect time. We have to take the chance when it comes along.”

“Are ye saying that ye’re interested in me?”

“I’m saying…” She couldn’t stand to be that close to him without touching him. Words weren’t what were needed in that moment. Actions were needed.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down so that she could kiss him. At first, she worried her aggression would throw him off, but as soon as he returned the kiss and wrapped his arms around her, she felt everything was falling into place somehow. Like this was where she was supposed to be.

She gasped when he suddenly cupped her ass and lifted her up. “Abe?”

“I want to be in my bedroom, for privacy.” He stopped walking just before he opened the door to his bedroom. “Are ye sure that this is what ye want?”

She pressed herself against him and licked his neck.
