I smile, kissing her mouth again and again, over and over. “I was

wondering…” More kisses. “If you’d noticed that.”

“I didn’t say it back.”

I stop, now reminded myself. I search her eyes, hoping she says it but

almost wishing she doesn’t speak at all. I just want a few more minutes with

her if she’s about to walk away.

“I didn’t want you to know that you could break my heart.” Her brown

eyes, behind beautiful smoky eye makeup, glisten. “I didn’t want Clay

Collins to ever know that…”

She pauses, the eyes and whispers around us, my family in the audience,

and Wentworth’s booming voice on stage not nearly as loud as my heart.

“That she has always broken my heart,” she tells me. “I love you.”

My chest swells.

“I’ve only ever loved you.” Her breath warms me from head to toe, and

I’ve never felt happier. “My heart is yours,” she says. “Shred it, burn it, I

don’t care. I want every minute I can get.”

Yes.

I laugh, smile, and dive in, lost in her mouth for I don’t know how long

until we’ve lost control, and I’ve fallen into the wall, her body pressed to

mine.

“Lipsticks!” Krisjen chides, coming over.

I pull away, cleaning her mouth as she cleans mine, and I’m dizzy. She

takes the lipstick from Krisjen and tries to reapply mine, but I can’t stand it. I

take her face in my hands, needing another dose.

“I’m never letting you go,” I whisper in her ear.

But she meets my eyes, something wicked in hers. “I kind of hope you

try.”

What?

“You spent years torturing me,” she points out, pushing me into the wall

and jerking her body into mine. “I might like returning the favor if you ever

try to keep this from me again.”

I groan as she grips my body and her warmth seeps through my clothes.

Please, God, take me to a car now. Jesus.

She hands everything back to Krisjen and looks at me. “So, you ready for

this?”

To be with her wherever and whenever I want? “Hell yes.”

She nods. “Then let’s make a scene.”
