Page 160 of Loving the Legend
Arnaz’s lips part slightly as his eyes trace over Sid’s face with meticulous detail.
And now I’m watching another man uncover the mystery of gravity.
I clench and then unclench my fists.
He wants him, that’s undeniable. But I haven’t seen anything that tells me that Sid wants him back.
Fuck. The thought alone makes me want to hurl a building at Arnaz.
Lainee excuses herself, leaving them alone. Sid reaches inside his blazer and pulls out his phone, but Arnaz nudges his shoulder and says something to him before he can unlock it.
So desperate for his attention.
I know it’s ridiculous, but I’m annoyed that Sid hasn’t looked up once. Is it out there to wish he’d felt my presence by now? He probably heard my team was invited, but I doubt he’d expect me to show up.
As if I’ve willed him telepathically, he scans the room, glancing toward the door.
Look to the left.
His gaze pans to the right of the room, then back to the door. He absentmindedly nods at something Arnaz says while searching. He stares at the door and stares and stares, his eyes dimming with each passing second.
Over here.
Finally, his gaze swoops to the left.
Yes…come on…almost…almost…Our gazes meet, and a jolt of heat rushes through my body. For a split second, I worry he isn’t happy to see me, but recognition hits, and his face breaks into a smile so brilliant that I can’t help but mirror it. He’s out ofhis chair a second later. My pulse takes off as his gaze trails down my body.
Down, boy,I tell my dick.
“You’re here,” he says, enveloping me in a hug. “I hoped you’d come.”
God. That voice.
I hold on longer than I should, but he isn’t letting go either.
When we pull away, he stares into my eyes, searching. A pained expression darkens his face. “Fuck, I’ve missed you.”
There’s so much I want to say to him.
I’ve missed you too.
I’m ready to come home.
I’m sorry I hurt you.
I’m sorry it took me so long to get help.
I was wrong for thinking I didn’t need help.
I miss my best friend.
I’ve had tough days.
Healing sucks sometimes.
I met our kids.
They visit me sometimes when I sleep.
