The fact that he made this set up and even took time to look at all the menus to make sure I’d like what they have is mind blowing.

I would never think someone would care about me this much.

It makes my heart ache and yearn for him.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Hayden asks.

“Like what?”

“Like you’re falling in love with me all over again?” Hayden leans towards me and grabs my hand to hold it in his.

“Because I am.”

Hayden smiles and then starts eating, making me smile back.

Fifty-Six

Present

Once I finish paying the bill my eyes go to Jaclyn who has a subtle but flirty smile on her face. After I spoke Italian to her she has been giving me these eyes. God, her damn eyes kill me. They could bring me to my knees if I wasn’t in a public setting.

I think if she asked me for anything right now, I’d give it to her, no questions asked.

I’m hers, my heart, body, and soul if she wants that too.

“Ready?” I ask her, standing up.

She nods her head and gets out of her chair. I take her hand in mine and pull her close to me as we walk away from the table.

Once we get to the car that the valet pulled up, I give her the key. “You want me to drive again?” she asks, raising an eyebrow. I nod my head and open the driver door for her.

She gives me another heart stopping smile and gets in.

I close the door and get in the passenger seat. The car vrooms to life making Jaclyn smirk a little at the sound.

She pulls out of the valet area and zooms out of the parking lot. I smile and rest my hand on her bare thigh making her clench her thighs together but she keeps her eyes on the road.

I tell her the directions for getting to my penthouse. Brandon is watching Junior for the night so I’m going to take advantage of that and have Jaclyn to myself for the night.

During the ride to the penthouse I occasionally grip Jaclyn’s thigh lightly making her press the gas harder. She went as fast as 100 mph along the highway. I could make her go completely undone with my touch but then that would probably end with us at the bottom of the cliff.

And when we pull up to the front of the building, I get out of the passenger seat and go to the driver side as Jaclyn gets her bag and turns the engine off.

I open the door for her and just pick her up bridal style.

She laughs in my arms and holds onto me as I walk to the front of my building. I toss the keys to the valet before walking in.

The elevator up feels like it takes forever especially since a neighbor of mine is in there so I can’t do what I want to do to Jaclyn in the elevator.

We eventually get to my floor.

I kiss Jaclyn’s neck softly and let her walk in.

She smiles at me and stays still for a second before turning around and running towards the stairs.

I let her run upstairs as I take off my suit jacket and rest it on the table in the foyer.
