She pulled away long enough to whisper, I wanted to tell you, Jared. I wanted to tell you I love you.
I ve needed to, so badly.
I ve known it for weeks, he admitted, his breath soft in her hair as he kissed her cheek, warm,
fluttering kisses between his words. I ve known I loved you and couldn t admit it until I was faced with
losing you. I didn t want to change. But losing you would be a thousand times worse.
He tilted her chin in his hand, raising her face to his.
Tell me again, she demanded.
I love you, my girl. You are my girl. You have been from the start.
It s true, she told him.
Tell me you ll come with me.
Today? Go with you to Europe today?
Can you pack by tonight? The flight leaves at eleven. I know it s crazy. I know you have your work,
that you re starting your business. But come for a while, at least. For a week or two. Longer if you can.
Long enough for me to know that when I come back, I ll have you to come home to. Do you have a
passport?
Yes.
Do you love me, Leigh?
Yes.
Then come. Be with me. Be here when I get home. He shook his head, held her tighter.
Her head was spinning, her heart tripping. But she knew what she wanted. She wanted him.
I can t believe I m doing this, but yes, I ll come with you.
He kissed her hard, his lips crushing hers, his big arms nearly squeezing the breath out of her.
She had to come up for air after a few moments. Jared& I have to ask you& about Matteo.

Matteo is important to me. You know that. But it s his friendship that s most important. It s always
been that way. What role he ll play with us is up to you. He loves being with you, with me, but he s a free
spirit.
I love that about him. And I want him to be with us when he can be. I may not love him the way I do
you, but I adore him, if that makes sense.
I know just what you mean. And I m glad. I would have accepted things either way. As long as I
have you.
She smiled at him. Could this really be happening? Jared loved her. And the scenario for their future
was something most women could only ever dream of. Even if things changed with Matteo, she and Jared
would still have each other.
Leigh. Jared lifted a hand, stroked her hair. His face was serious, but after a moment he grinned. I
sort of can t believe you re agreeing to this. To running off to Europe with me. To this whole thing,
allowing Matteo to be with us. That you love me.
But I do. I can hardly wait to go. And I can hardly wait to come home and for us to be together. To
start our life together. But there s one thing that just can t wait.
What s that?
She put her palm over his heart, felt the steady beat there. Love me, Jared.
Ah, that s easy enough, my girl.
He picked her up in his arms and carried her to the bedroom, laid her down on the bed and undressed
them both quickly but carefully.
You are so beautiful, he murmured, his hands gliding over her bare skin as he knelt over her.
She reached for him, her palms finding the taut muscles of his chest, moving down over his stomach.
Touch me, Leigh.
She took his hard cock in her hands, felt it pulse with need, watched his face as she stroked. Saw the
pure pleasure as he closed his eyes, bit his lush lip. His hands cupped her breasts, his fingers brushing over
her nipples. They grew hard, aching. Her body heated, swarmed with desire.
Jared&
He opened his eyes, his gaze locked on hers. I need to be inside you.
Yes&
She leaned over to open her nightstand drawer and pulled out a condom. He took it from her, tore the
packet and rolled it onto his thick shaft. She watched, her sex pulsing with need, a steady, white-hot
rhythm. She opened her thighs for him, and he sank between them. He took her hand in his, held it over her
head, clasping her fingers. With the other hand he reached down and parted the lips of her sex, and slipped
right in.

You feel so damn good, Leigh. You feel right.
She wrapped her legs around him, held him to her as tightly as she could as he started to move. The
broad wall of his chest was crushed to hers, his heart beating against her breasts. And it was hot and lovely
and perfect. He thrust into her, one long, smooth stroke after another, his panting breath warm against her
neck. He held onto her hand, his big, warm palm enclosing her fingers. And between her thighs was his big
body, strong and solid. Hers.
He drove into her, sending pleasure spiraling into her system. Sharp. Electric. It expanded,
shimmering through her like pure light. Pure desire. Pure love.
