I told her not to get involved with another Dom!
My heart pounds as I try to decide what I should do. I’m not afraid of getting into a confrontation with the guy. It’s not that at all. It’s Jade I’m afraid of.
What if she tells me to get lost? What if she tells me she belongs to that guy? What if she tells me she doesn’t love me anymore?
The fear flows through me like a river of hot lava. And that’s what makes me stop being a little bitch and letting fear rule me. Opening my door, I get out and wait a moment to try to hear what they’re saying.
I find I can’t make it out at all. It’s all just mumbles and grumbles. Moving around the car, I find Jade still looking down. “Jade!” I shout to get her attention.
Her head turns slowly as she hears my voice. She’s stone still as she looks my way. Her cap comes off as she puts her hand up to hood her eyes. It’s only then that I realize the sun’s setting behind me. I must look like a dark figure to her and nothing more.
Moving toward her, I shout again, “Jade!”
“Pierce?” she asks as she comes to me. “Pierce, is that you?”
“Jade!” I shout again as I walk a bit faster. “It’s me! It’s Pierce!”
With a jump, she flat out runs to me. Her arms are outstretched as she shouts, “Pierce!”
And then we collide with a burst of energy that defies nature. I can’t figure out where she ends and I begin as I run my hands all over her and our mouths meet. Our tongues swirl together like old friends who’ve missed one another desperately.
Then a voice interferes with our sweet reunion. “So this is the man who made you the way you are, Jade.”
With soft kisses, we stop our kiss, but can’t seem to let the other out of the hold we have on each other. “This is Pierce. The man who made me what I am today.” Her hand flows over my cheek. “You’ve shaved.”
With a nod, I take her hand and hold it, running it over my smooth cheek. “I did. And your gorgeous face is a sight for sore eyes, baby. Did you miss me at all?”
Tears start to run down her cheeks as she chokes back a sob. “More than I knew was possible. Does you being here mean what I think it means, Pierce?”
“Are you even going to bother introducing us, Jade?” the moron who should be hitting the bricks and leaving us alone asks.
“Oh, uh. Well, Pierce, this is Charles.” Jade pats my chest. “Charles, this is Pierce. And we should get going. He and I have tons to talk about.” She looks up at me with shimmering eyes. “Mind giving me a lift, Pierce?”
Wiping away the tears that she’s shed, I answer, “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
I move with her, taking her to the rental car. The guy is right behind us, fuming. “Pierce, you and I should talk before you spend any time alone with Jade. She’s been in therapy for the last few months over what you did to her.”
Stopping dead in my tracks, I ask her, “Jade, is that true?”
She nods and sniffles. “But it’s okay. My therapist told me I’m not crazy.” She laces her fingers with mine. “And neither are you.”
“That’s not exactly true. I am a bit nuts. I did send the only woman I’ve ever loved away. That was insane if you ask me.” I kiss her cheek as we start walking again.
We gaze into each other’s eyes, unable to get enough of each other. Then the old hound dog barks again, “Jade, seriously! This young man and I need to have a private talk. I must demand it.”
“Hold on, Pierce.” Jade lets me go and takes a few steps to stand in front of the other dude. “Charles, I appreciate everything you’ve done for me. You’re a real gentleman and I’ll never say any different. But I don’t want you to say a thing to this man. If you ran him off, I’d most likely kill you and regret nothing by doing it. He’s come back for me, a thing I’ve prayed for every day for six months. And I’ll let no one get in our way. You understand, don’t you?”
He’d better understand! I’m not walking away from this woman again!
“Jade, I know you think you love him …”
“Shh, Charles,” she interrupts him. “I know I love him. Don’t make things awkward between us. I’d hate that.”
With a nod, he walks away, going to his car as we watch him leave us, his head hung low. Jade comes back to me and I wrap my arms around her, then kiss the top of her head. “He seems like a good guy.”
“He is. He’s just not you though.” Jade’s arms run around my neck as she looks into my eyes. “Now how about you take me to my flat and we make love until we can’t anymore, then go to sleep in each other’s arms the way I’ve wanted to since I got on the jet that night.”
“Anything you want, baby. I’m yours completely, for as long as you’ll have me.” I open the passenger door and help her get inside.
