CHAPTER 14

DAVIS

I’m gripping the curtains in my hand, trying to convince myself I’m doing the right thing. No matter how much I want Abby, I can’t have her.

I turn around when I feel like I’ve finally got myself together only to find Abby standing up with her arms crossed over her chest and her face crestfallen. “Abby,” I start.

She puts her hand up. “Stop. It’s fine. I get it.”

I shake my head and take a step toward her. “You get what, exactly?”

She rolls her eyes. “I’m not stupid, Davis. I’m practically throwing myself at you, and you’re saying no. I get it. I get all of it.”

“Explain.”

She lifts her chin and looks me in the eye. “You don’t want me… If you did, then nothing would stop you from having me.”

I’m shaking my head, making my way toward her before I can think twice about it. “I do want you, but it’s not that simple.”

She shrugs, and her lower lip is puckered out. “It’s just sex, Davis.”

I reach for her, putting my finger to her chin and lifting her head up so she has to look at me. “It wouldn’t just be sex. Not between us. I think you know that.”

Her eyes are wide, but she nods in agreement. I let my hand slide from her chin down, and I wrap my fingers around the base of her neck. “Why me?”

“Why you? Are you really asking me that?”

I shrug my shoulders. “I told you that I haven’t been with anyone in over two years. If this is some kind of pity thing…”

She sputters. “Pity? You think I pity you?” Her hands go to my waist, and she clenches my shirt in her hands. “And I told you I haven’t been with anyone since I conceived my daughter. She’s six now. If there’s any pity thing happening here, then—”

“Stop. Listen to me, to what I’m saying. No one has seen me except doctors.”

She blinks up at me. “You mean your leg? You think if I see your leg I’m not going to want you anymore?”

I cringe at the thought of showing her the mangled skin. “Trust me, Abby. You probably won’t.”

Her hands slide up my chest and rest gently on my shoulders. “Davis, I’m just going to put it out there. I’ve wanted you for a long time. Probably long before I should have. I hate what happened to you, but the only reason it’s going to bother me to look at it is because I hate that you were hurt. Regardless of how your body looks, I still want you.” She lets out a soft sigh and shakes her head. “You made me feel good last night, and I want to do the same for you.”

I suck in a breath, and as I dip my head, all I can think is I shouldn’t be doing this, but it doesn’t stop me. I lean down and press my lips to hers. I’ve dreamt about her lips, but nothing could prepare me for how it feels to actually kiss her.
