“Shit.” Adrian propped himself up on one elbow.
“What?”
“Your trip. I never asked where you were going. Do you need to call someone? Let them know you’re going to be late?”
Ah, yes. That.
“Nope.”
“You sure? If it was important…”
“Oh, it was very important.” She told the truth. “The most important trip I’ve ever planned, actually.”
His expression fell a little, and Jenna could tell he felt guilty. She should probably feel bad about stringing him along the way she was.
But she didn’t.
“Jenna, I don’t want to stand in your way. If you need to go to…wherever you were headed, I’ll wait. As long as it takes.”
Her heart thumped. “As long as it takes, huh?”
Okay, now shedidfeel a little bad.
“For you? Hell yeah.” Concern marred his beautiful features. “Why? Where were you going when I showed up?”
Jenna smiled. “To find you.”
“Seriously?”
She nodded. “I knew Nate would find you if I asked. So I was going to fly to Texas, find his place, and wait until he did. Then I was going to hop on a plane to wherever I needed to go in order to find you.”
Her plan clearly amused him. “What would you have done once you did find me?”
“Knock some sense into your stubborn ass.”
“Yeah?” He rolled them over, so he was on top of her. “And if that didn’t work?”
“I was going to kiss some sense into your stubborn ass.” Jenna grabbed his toned cheeks and squeezed.
“That why you put on that sexy as fuck skirt? To seduce me into listening to reason?”
“Did it work?”
He rubbed his hardening cock against her core. “You tell me.”
They both laughed, but Adrian’s smile soon fell as he got serious. “You would’ve gone through all that trouble just to find me?” He seemed genuinely confused. “Why?”
Ah, babe. We still have so much work to do with you, don’t we?
“Why do you think?” Jenna brought a palm to the scruff covering his jaw. “I love you, Adrian Walker. Every single part of you. And if you ever doubt that again, I swear to all that’s holy, I will kick your ass from here to that beach you were hiding out on.”
His gaze narrowed. “How did you know I was on a beach?”
“You sure as heck didn’t get this tan hiding away in a cave.”
He grinned as he leaned down, pressing his lips to hers. His tongue invaded her mouth in the most delicious way imaginable, and when he pulled back, their heavy breaths mingled together as one.
“I love you, Jenna Shaw.” He brushed some hair from her eye and tucked it behind her ear. “And I will keep loving you every day, for as long as I live.”
