I throw my arm around Kaylah. “Thank you,” I tell her. “He’s going to be the best little addition to our screwed-up family.”
“My pleasure,” she laughs. “Now, give him back. I haven’t had nearly enough cuddles.”
How could I have ever known that such a fucked-up night could turn into such a beautiful day? I suddenly have a whole new appreciation and understanding of the rainbow after a devastating storm.
Chapter 24
“Holy shit,” I swoon as Nate walks in wearing a suit that hugs his body just right. I mean, the open jacket with the two buttons of his dress shirt undone, showing off just enough of his sculptured chest. Wow.
I mean…. Wow. That’s all I’ve got. The only word to describe this flawless perfection. Wow.
“Damn straight,” Trish says, coming to stand beside me while looking her son up and down. “I breed them well.”
“You sure do,” I agree with her.
Nate walks forward with his eyes raking up and down my long, floor-length maroon dress that plunges between my breasts and shows off the perfect amount of cleavage. His eyes become hooded the closer he gets and when he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me hard into him, he buries his face in the nook of my neck. “You look incredible,” he murmurs with his lips skimming along the sensitive skin of my neck.
He breathes me in and raises his head so his lips hover just above mine. As he begins to draw closer, I feel the butterflies taking flight. Just a little bit closer and he’ll be right there. Right where I want him.
A golden puppy comes tearing down the hallway, barking with his tongue hanging out the side, flapping up and down with his quick movements. Within the blink of an eye, he jumps up against me, putting one hell of a muddy paw print right across my ass. “Noooooo,” I shriek as Trish lets out a horrified gasp and instantly runs to the kitchen for a cloth to start damage control.
“Shit,” Nate grunts, shaking his head as he hurries to catch little Jesse and leads him out the backdoor “This damn dog. I swear, it’s like he knows when I want to kiss you. That little cockblocker. He’s just as bad as the real Jesse.”
“Who cares about that?” I panic. “What about my ass?”
“It’s fine,” he smirks, walking back over to get a good look at the damage as Trish starts trying to remove the mud. “I’ll keep my hand on your ass all night. It’s win/win.”
Trish groans. “You’re not helping,” she reprimands.
“I know,” he laughs as Jesse struts in wearing his suit with Kaylah under his arm in a beautiful black cocktail dress.
“Oh, no,” Kaylah gasps, hurrying over. “What happened?”
“The dog,” I whine.
She scrunches her face up as Jesse strolls on over to take a look as well. “Don’t stress, it’s not that bad,” he says. “And besides, you’ve got your tits out. Everyone will be looking at those instead of your ass.”
Nate’s fist punches out, instantly giving Jesse a dead arm.
As Trish finishes off fixing my dress, I can’t help but take in my boys. So freaking handsome. The excitement starts to bubble up within me. We’ve been waiting for this night for what feels like forever.
America’s biggest show for classic cars has been on all week, and naturally, that old dirty car that Nate first started on has been invited to attend. Not to mention, that old dirty car actually turned out to be a 1968 Jaguar E-Type. Who would have known? I certainly didn’t. But Nate, he knew what he was doing from the very start.
Nate’s had his plan since he was a kid and now he’s putting it all into place with calculated, perfected moves, and so far, it’s all paying off. I wouldn’t be surprised if he surpasses everyone else in the industry and becomes the number one restoration business in America. He’s just that good.
His Jaguar has been shown all week to every car dealer and buyer, basically, everyone in the industry and tonight is the big auction where Nate will put all his hard work to the test. It’s rumored that it’s going to reach the highest bid of the night, but we’ll have to wait and see. I heard it could possibly hit just under half a million dollars, and if it does, that would be incredible for Nate. This build has put him on the map in a big way.
It’s going to be a huge event. Hundreds of people are going to be there. It’s going to be fancy and ostentatious. I can’t wait. There will be a dinner party following the auction for all the people involved and I swear, everyone we know is coming to support Nate. It’s going to be nothing short of an awesome night.
