EXCERPT

Darnell’s tears had been reduced to sniffles. She had heard someone enter but couldn’t muster up the strength to be frightened. When her name was called she knew who it was right away, but she hadn’t answered. She couldn’t. She was too tired. She felt as if she had no control over her mind or her body. So she sat there, wishing that everything and everyone would simply disappear.

Thad’s heart constricted when he saw her. This wasn’t his Darnell. It couldn’t be Darnell curled up in a ball like a defeated child. He bent down to her. “Doe?”

Gently he lifted her chin. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Misery etched her flawless face. He couldn’t stand to see her this way.

Splaying his fingers through her hair, he rested his forehead against hers. “Oh, baby, what’s wrong?”

She sat motionless as he pulled a hand towel from the rack, rinsed it in cold water and dabbed at her watery eyes.”

“I’ve been so worried about you. Why didn’t you call me? It’s been weeks, baby. What is it? Has something happened to Lance?.

Darnell’s head was pounding as she looked at Thad through slit eyelids. What was he doing here? What did he want? Let him go to his women. She didn’t care anymore.

Closing her eyes, she shut him out. “Go away, Thad, just go away. I don’t want you here.”

She couldn’t see his expression, but her words were meant to hurt him. Hopefully, they would get him to walk out the door. Instead, she felt herself being lifted. She didn’t resist.

Managing to find Darnell’s bedroom, Thad placed her on the bed and covered her with a down blanket. She seemed so fragile, but he knew better. The Darnell he knew was strong and feisty. She didn’t like being thought of as needing anyone. Yet, everyone needed someone, and he planned on being that someone. He wasn’t going to go away.

EXCERPT

Sin’s eyes fluttered open as the early morning sunlight filtered through the skylight onto his face. It took a moment for him to gather his senses and to remember where he was’burrowed on the luxuriously plush carpet on the floor of the huge master bathroom in their home. A sleeping Nedra lay in his arms.

He shifted carefully, trying not to disturb her. He felt absolutely great. The love he and Nedra had made last night had reached levels he hadn’t known possible. If someone had told him that making love to the same woman after four years of marriage could get better he wouldn’t have believed it, but it was true. Completely satisfied, that’s what he was feeling. Could it get any better than this?

He and Nedra had come home around two in the morning, giggling like a couple of teenagers as they stole up the stairs. They took care not to awaken the household.

As soon as the bedroom door was closed and locked behind them Sin took Nedra into his arms. They made love propped against the door, not willing to wait any longer to extinguish the smothering embers that had threatened to ignite out of control all evening. The sensuous salsa dancing had sparked a fire that had been doused not only against the door, but on the sitting room sofa, in the shower and eventually on the bathroom floor where they now lay.

Sighing, Sin closed his eyes, enjoying the feel of Nedra’s moist body against his own. How many times had he marveled at his good fortune? Being the object of this woman’s love was something about which he had daydreamed, but never expected in his life. He had never done anything to earn such devotion. Much of his earlier life had been spent engaged in endeavors less noble. He had confessed all and she still loved him.

Nedra “forever the preacher” had called their union a blessing. She gave all credit for their good fortune to God. Personally, he had never believed in anything he couldn’t see.

Orphaned when he was ten, bounced from one foster home to another he had no reason to believe in any invisible force about which he had seen no credible evidence in his life. Living by his wits, he had learned to believe in very little other than his own ability to survive. He hadn’t expected to become the wealthy, respected businessman he had become. Actually, he hadn’t expected to live long enough to achieve any level of success. Some of the activities in which he had engaged as a young man nearly guaranteed his early demise. Sin touched the scar on his chest that was a permanent reminder as to how close he had come to death. No, he had never expected to live long enough to marry or to become a father, but Nedra’s presence in his life had changed everything. She brought with her love, hope, caring, loyalty and even a degree of faith.
