Diamonds Forever (Diamond Trilogy 3) - Page 119

‘Do you think we’ll ever get bored of this?’

‘Of what? Sex? Do me a favour.’

‘Not just sex. Me and you. What we make each other feel.’

He seemed to snap out of his inertia at that, propping himself up to stare at her.

‘Not a chance. Why? Do you think you will?’

She shook her head.

‘I can’t imagine ever … I mean …’

She struggled to put her thoughts into words. Ever since that fateful night at the cottage and its aftermath, Jason’s mood had stabilised so quickly that it was as if the chip on his shoulder had been sanded off. There had been no more mention of their relative financial or social status, no sulks, no vows to pay everything back and more. He had seemed to accept that life was about more than keeping score and being on top.

The result was the most wonderful few months of Jenna’s life. At last, a real loving partnership where she was adored, respected and cared for. And, she hoped, she provided the same for him.

‘What?’ he said, when she lapsed into incoherence.

‘I mean, I want to be with you forever.’

She held her breath. Was that too much? Would he laugh her off or suddenly scare at the thought of such commitment?

He took her hand and kissed it.

‘I’m glad you said that,’ he said. ‘’Cos I feel exactly the same.’

Chapter Seventeen

‘I CAN’T BELIEVE the job they’ve done on the place. It’s bloody amazing.’

Kayley stood on the gravel pathway in front of Harville Hall and twirled her stiff netted skirts, making sure she didn’t fall sideways off her high-heeled red satin sandals.

‘Wait till you see what they’ve done with the gardens,’ said Deano. ‘There’s an outdoor pool and tennis courts where all that wilderness was.’

‘Wow, seriously?’

‘Yeah, these stars in the making are going to be spoilt rotten when they come here.’

He smiled and held out his hand to her.

‘Anyway, Mrs Diamond, never mind them. Come and enjoy your wedding reception.’

‘I will, in a minute,’ she said, nuzzling her head against his chest and crushing the heliotrope in the buttonhole of his silk crocodile jacket. ‘But Jenna and Jase aren’t here yet. D’you reckon the paparazzi have got them?’

‘Probably. OK. I’ll give them five minutes, then I’m declaring a state of emergency and getting a glass of champagne. All this wedding stuff is thirsty work.’

A woman in a giant hat trimmed with every kind of feather known to avian life rushed towards them, yoo-hooing as she came.

‘All right, Linda?’ said Kayley with a grin. ‘How’s it going, duck?’

‘Where’s our Jase?’ she said. ‘He should be here by now, shouldn’t he?’

‘We reckon they might have got caught by those photographers we saw earlier. We got past them all right, but they won’t have been tricked twice.’

Linda shook her head.

‘My son, the celeb,’ she said. ‘I’ll never get used to it.’
