I glanced back at her with a smile on my face. “Lead the way to your car, baby,” I said as she smiled back.
Yeah, she’s beautiful, and we have great fucking sex, but she’s definitely not the one.
Chapter One
I glanced over at Ari. She was staring out the window, and I could see tears runnin
g down her face. I looked up to the front seat where Jeff was on the phone with Gunner. I assumed Jeff was giving Gunner the details about the accident.
Oh my god. I didn’t even tell him that I loved him before I walked out the door. I just left.
Ari squeezed my hand. I was guessing it had been about twenty minutes since I’d stopped crying hysterically.
“It’s gonna be okay, sweets,” Ari said with a weak smile.
I tried to smile back at her. My heart was pounding in my chest as images of Josh flashed through my mind. Leaning my head against the seat, I thought back to when he’d made such passionate love to me in the rain.
Two Nights Ago
I was sitting on the sofa, watching his every move. He started his iPod and then walked toward me. With that panty-melting smile on his face, he held out his hand.
My heart was racing. How does he make me feel this way?
I smiled as I reached up, and his warm hand took mine.
“Will you dance with me, princess?” he asked with a look that just melted my heart.
“Yes. ”
He pulled me into his arms and captured my lips with his. As he led me outside, I could hear Ed Sheeran’s “Kiss Me” playing on the outdoor speakers. Damn, he knows how much I love this song.
The rain was coming down at a steady pace as he guided me down the steps and out to the patio. Looking up, the rain hit my face, instantly cooling me off. God, that feels so good. After days of having a fever, the drizzle felt like heaven on my skin.
He drew me closer to him and put his lips against my ear. “I love you, Heather. ”
“I love you, Josh, more than anything. ”
Heartbeat to heartbeat, we danced in the rain.
“Are you feeling better, princess?” Josh asked against my ear.
“Yes…especially here in your arms,” I said, slightly leaning back to gaze into his beautiful green eyes.
While the music played, he slowly moved us over to one of the patio chairs.
“I’m going to make love to you in the rain, Heather,” he said with so much seduction it felt like my knees were about to go out from under me.
“Oh god,” I said as he started to pull my T-shirt up and over my head.
Leaning down, he kissed me so softly that I just wanted to pull him in for more. I needed to feel him against me, getting as close as I possibly could to him. I needed him inside me.
Slowly turning me around, he placed gentle kisses on one shoulder before moving to the other while his hands slid down to undo my bra.
Oh god. He’s trying to kill me. I glanced over my shoulder. “Josh, please…it’s been so long. ”
He let out a small chuckle as he pushed my bra off my body. Wrapping his arms around me, he said, “I know, baby, but you had bronchitis, a sinus infection, the flu, and God knows what else. There was no way I was getting near you, let alone having sex with you!”
I spun around and smacked him on the shoulder, making him laugh. “Nice. You just ruined one of the most romantic moments of my life, you ass!”
