Tempted Excerpt:
The phone rang four times, and she was about to disconnect the call when she heard the voice she’d both dreaded and needed to hear.
The phone rang four times, and she was about to disconnect the call when she heard the voice she’d both dreaded and needed to hear.
“Hello?”
His voice was rough and sleepy sounding, and in her mind’s
eye, Sabrina saw him, wearing nothing more than black pajama pants, his chest
and feet bare, silhouetted against the windows of his living room, a coffee cup
in one hand.
“Sabrina?”
“Hello, Roman.”
Her voice was almost a whisper, but Roman heard her just
fine. “Good morning, baby,”
He listened to the soft sound of her breathing and waited
her out, not pressuring her to talk.
“I almost hung up,” she said and heard him take a sip of
something. Coffee? Her mental image of him reinforced itself, and she smiled;
definitely coffee. She sipped her own brew.
“I’m glad you didn’t,” he replied, taking another gulp of
the lukewarm brew in his cup. It seemed getting Sabrina to talk was going to be
like pulling teeth, but he was willing to be patient, remembering Morgan’s
advice to not rush her or force her.
“Morgan is taking me to meet my parents this morning,” she
finally told him, and with that admission, the flood gates opened, and Roman
simply allowed her to talk. Beneath her ramblings one thing became apparent:
she was terrified of being rejected again. When she finally wound down and she
sank back into silence, Roman reassured her.
“Baby, they have searched for you all of your life; they
want you in their lives, and they won’t turn their backs on you.”
She didn’t say anything for several moments, and he worried
that the connection had been lost. Finally, he heard her sigh.
“Thank you.”
He smiled gently at the sweet sound of her voice and
replied, “Anytime, baby.”
“I better go,” she hedged, and he wondered if it was
reluctance he heard coating her words.
“I love you.”
He winced and almost slammed his head against the wall for
letting those words escape; what if it was too soon? What if he’d just scared
her away for another week or, damn it, longer? He held his breath, waiting for
her reply. When it came, he felt the bitter bite of disappointment;
“Goodbye, Roman.”
The line went dead, and Roman was left, alone and cursing
into the cold light of the winter morning, without even the knowledge of her
love to sustain him.
