Looking down at where he hand had captured her wrist, she marveled in just how large his hands were. Not that she wasn’t terribly aware. He’d had his hands on her quite a bit since they’d first run into each other during that first bank job. She was only half listening to his words, but her fingers curled around the soap he was insisting she take.
Julianna looked up at him. “Okay,” she agreed, again. She watched his face as he pushed wet hair away from her face. It wasn’t difficult for the affection starved banker to find his touch almost affectionate. She tried to resist leaning into that touch, and she hoped that he just wouldn’t notice the gentle pressure of her face against his hand. And then his fingers were beneath her chin. She had already been looking at him, but she acquiesced to that touch by lifting her face.
As he left the shower, Julianna was left somewhat shaken by the encounter. Her mind reeled as she washed, trying to sort out her mixed emotions and place them all in the appropriate boxes. She tried to remind herself of her situation, of the severity of what was happening around her, but her thoughts always went back to his hands on her.
Darcy looked over his shoulder when he heard Owen come out of the bathroom. “Hey,” he greeted, cheerful but there was a suggestive lilt to the vowels. He raised his brows at his godson, before turning his sights back on the perfectly round and fluffy pancake he had browning in the skillet. Bacon sizzled in another pan.
“She’s cute,” he observed without prompting. Though Owen’s silence was prompt enough. He lifted the pancake out of the skillet and dropped it on a plate that already contained a neat stack of them. He immediately poured more batter. While the current flapjack settled, Darcy turned and picked up the coffee he had made and poured for himself. He sipped loudly and pointedly at Owen as he crossed the kitchen to get a mug of his own. “She a thing or a fling?” he asked while they had a moment alone.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
