“What do you think?” She does a little spin, causing her curls to flail around her. “I wasn’t feeling any of the dresses.”
“Beautiful.” I approach her for a kiss.
She glances at her watch and cringes. “Sazuki, we have to leave now.”
I wrap my fingers around her wrists when she tries to dart away. Placing one hand against her back and the other on her cheek, I tilt her head and kiss her deeply.
It is her fault I am so addicted.
She turned a cold, ruthless man who was set in his ways into someone who cannot live without her.
There are consequences for that.
I break off and then kiss her forehead. “Nowwe can leave.”
Traffic is light and we arrive on time at Adam’s large, country-style cabin nestled in the center of an impressive acreage.
We are the only guests there.
Nova greets us with a strained smile.
Adam is with her as well, drinking beer from a red cup.
“I thought the party would be bigger than this,” Dejonae says.
“We thought we’d keep it small. Just members of the MTB team.”
“Okay.” I agree easily.
I had not been looking forward to mingling with others and wasting time making polite conversation. This is much better.
After an hour of drinking and eating, Nova presents Adam with his birthday gifts. The last one she offers to him is an envelope.
Dejonae leans forward.
I rub her back and look on with interest too, wondering if Nova signed him a check. It seems like her style.
“This is my resignation letter,” Nova says, sliding the envelope over to a wide-eyed Adam.
Dejonae clutches my hand and gives me an astonished look.
I stare at her in confusion.
The room falls into tense silence.
What on earth is happening?
“Is this a joke?” Adam croaks.
“I’m sorry,” Nova says, her eyes on the ground.
“What the hell is the meaning of this?” Adam’s voice trembles.
The party horn that had been halfway to Dejonae’s lips falls to her lap.
Dejonae gives me a panicked glance. She signs, “What do we do?”
I shake my head in return.
