CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Four hours later, Brina woke up lying on her back, with Ronny, lying on his side, staring at her. She was pleased to realize her nakedness was still completely covered and that she was met, not by the face of a man ready to get rid of her, but a smiling face. Which made her smile, too, and she felt that warmth inside she always felt around him. “Hey,” she said and laid on her side facing him.

Ronny had awakened nearly an hour earlier and was fascinated to see how peaceful she was sleeping. In the midst of the storm, she was at peace. He realized how important that was to him. He was beginning to realize how much she mattered to him. “How do you feel?” he asked her.

“Much, much better. I slept so well.”

“Yes, you did, I’m pleased to say.”

“You sound like you’ve been awake for a minute.”

“About an hour.”

“Doing what?”

Ronny smiled. “Staring at your angelic face.”

Brina grinned. “That sounds like something a stalker would say.”

“Then sign me up,” Ronny said, and she laughed. He loved her throaty laugh. “I’m just glad you were able to get some rest, that’s all,” he added.

She agreed. “So am I.” But she continued staring at him.

“What?” he asked with a smile.

“How old are you?”

“That’s the question on your mind?”

Brina continued to stare at him.

“How old do I look?”

“I don’t know. Fiftyish?”

Ronny looked at her with horror. “Fiftyish? Really?”

He expected her to smile and say she was kidding, but she didn’t smile. She didn’t say a word.

Ronny was astounded. He already was over a decade older than her. But she was figuring he was two decades older? “I’m forty-four,” he said.

And it was then that Brina smiled. “I knew that already. Just wanted to see your reaction.”

Ronny laughed. “How did you know my age?”

“When I first started working here, one of the maids was saying how the big boss looked good for his age. I asked how old was he, and she told me. She probably Googled you.”

Or Elvira told her, Ronny thought. There was nothing that woman would not do for her staff. She was loyal to them to a fault, and they didn’t even seem to appreciate it. but Ronny was still curious about one thing. “If you already knew my age, why did you ask me?”

“I’ve known many guys who lied about it. I wanted to see if you would too. But my main reason,” she added, “is because I don’t understand why a good guy like you aren’t married with children at your age?”

“Ah.” It was a fair question, Ronny knew, but that word always got his hackles up. “I take it you want to be married with children?”

“Right now? With my life the way it is? No way!” Eventually she did want to be married with children, but that wasn’t something she was discussing with him.

Ronny was surprised by her answer. Every woman he’d ever known would broach the subject and then inject herself into the predicate.
