Chapter Ten

The sound of female voices roused Cane from his sleep. He’d been dreaming of Angelle, his subconscious filling in what could have happened had Troy and Eva not come home so early. It was probably for the best. Sadie had been sleeping down the hall, and their first time was not gonna be a rush job on the floor of her brother’s house. No, Cane planned to take his time. To explore and appreciate and memorize every inch of Angelle’s creamy white skin. After that, then they’d have time for fast and furious on the carpet.

That thought was enough to wake his ass up for good.

Thanksgiving Day in the Robicheaux family usually involved his dad deep-frying a turkey, Sherry bringing a pathetic looking yet delicious apple pie, and Cane making most of the sides. He’d inherited the job when his mom died, but with Colby back, maybe she’d take over that load. After throwing on a pair of jeans and a button-down, he texted Sherry about the mirliton casserole he’d left in the freezer. Then, with Angelle’s suggestion for him to sleep late fresh in his mind, and the lack of any male voices from down the hall, Cane cracked open his dog-eared copy of Freakonomics.

Halfway through a chapter on what makes a perfect parent—clearly not his own—the scent of strong brewed coffee and sweet homemade bread beckoned from the kitchen. Clearly, it was time to join the land of the living.

“Now the whole parade is in jeopardy,” Angelle’s mom was saying as he entered the crowded room. The women had gathered around the large island, Mrs. Prejean, Angelle, Lacey, Eva, and Ryan’s wife, Tonya. His hostess’s back was to him as she leaned over to check the ham in the oven. “It’s not Bubba’s fault he has appendicitis, of course, but I don’t know what we’re gonna do.”

Lacey and Eva smiled in greeting when they saw him at the door, and Tonya nodded. It appeared she was still a Brady holdout. Nodding back with the grin that usually won him favors, Cane stopped by the coffee pot that had been calling his name. Winning over family required his morning jolt of caffeine.

Angelle strolled over, an adorable wrinkle on her forehead. Her fingertips brushed the side of her face before reaching inside the cabinet, and Cane remembered his reading glasses.

“Guess the cat’s out of the bag,” he said, peering at her from beneath his wire frames. “I’m a closet nerd.”

“I think it’s rather sexy,” she replied, her sultry voice lowered to a whisper. Her shy smile and the pink in her cheeks implied her declaration surprised her as much as it had him. Handing over a mug emblazoned with a turkey wearing overalls, she smiled at the ground and said, “Good morning.”

He grinned as his hand enveloped hers around the ceramic. “It is now.”

It was a cliché, but damn if it wasn’t the truth. She was adorable, and in her festive green skirt, white blouse, and flour-dusted apron, the woman looked good enough to eat.
