Excerpt
It’s maybe twelve-thirty when I
decide to do the unthinkable. I slip my jeans back on, take a room key, glance
at Estella—sound asleep—and tiptoe out the door barefoot, hands shaking. I
knock lightly on Julian’s door, sure he too is fast asleep. I can’t hear a
thing inside his room. But I know he’s got the cane and his legs to deal with,
so I wait. Even though he’s sleeping. He said he was tired. This is
stupid... I clutch my room key and
decide I’ll leave. I’ll wait twenty more seconds and then leave. He’s not
coming. Okay. I turn—and of course that’s when the door opens. Jeans. Cane.
Bare chest.
“Hi,” I manage.
The door opens wider. I slip
inside, and I’m instantly pinned to the wall by Julian’s free arm and body.
“Estella’s asleep?” he asks.
“Yes.”
“You’re trembling.”
“I... ” His kiss leaves me
breathless; my arms are wrapped around him. His balance is better now, but
distantly I worry about him falling again. My legs may give out also. “Ahh... ”
“Come to bed.”
