"Youaredifferent now, Jamie. I can see that. If you were that same Jamie now as the Jamie in that closet, I probably wouldn't be here. But who you are now, this Jamie, who you've become, I forgive you."
He shakes his head. "I don't think I could tell you in words what that means to me, Lara. But it means everything."
I smile and glance around my apartment. "Why are we still on the floor?" My chuckle makes him laugh, and still holding my hand, he stands up from the tile, pulling me up with him. I wipe my free hand on my pants and the space between us suddenly becomes tense.
Not with frustration or anger or awkwardness… but warmth.
Squeezing my hand, he licks his lips and avoids my gaze. “I guess I'll head out. And you know, you'll still have a job at Eden's if that's something you're interested in. You really did save the entire company… before, you know…”
"I tried to ruin it?" I chuckle. "Sorry about that again." I hadn't expected him to offer me my job back. Then again, I never expected any of this. I don't know how to respond to the idea of going back to Eden's. Not because I don't want it… but because I don't want him to leave.
"Just let me know." His hand slips from mine. "But otherwise, I'll leave you alone."
He turns to leave and reaches for the door, but my hand shoots out, grabbing his arm. "Jamie. Wait."
He blinks, twisting around. "What is it?"
My heart is in my throat as I try to form my words. "Do you still… have feelings for me?"
A sad smile appears on his face. "Lara… I’ve fallen in love with you. And that just doesn't disappear overnight. Not love like this."
More tears fill my eyes, and before I can stop myself, I'm pressing against his chest, my arms linking around his neck as my lips find his.
He hesitates, and then his mouth opens, my tongue greets his, and our bodies are wrapped together.
When I pull away, I trail my finger down his cheek. "Jamie… I love you, too."
Epilogue - Four Months Later
Lara
"Oh,baby,I’mgoingto come," I cry out.
Jamie thrusts faster, and I arch upward as a rush of pleasure explodes inside me. My orgasm slams into me, rippling through my body.
Jamie gazes into my eyes and cups my cheeks as he moves in and out. "Lara, you're so beautiful."
I reach up and grip my hands around the back of his neck, lifting my hips up so he can penetrate me deeper. He gasps and slides a hand around my back, pressing us so close together, our foreheads touch and we become one. My tongue enters his mouth, and he gives me his, and the moment our kiss links us, he becomes thicker inside me.
His face contorts. "I love you, Lara."
My nails dig into his back. "Jamie, I love you so much."
Jamie's mouth drops open as he cries out, his moan echoing inside my ear as he comes inside me. His sweat sliding between our bodies as we roll over and look into each other's eyes.
"How did I get this lucky?" he whispers, running his hands through my hair.
I lean against his arm, my smile effortless. "I got lucky, too."
Propping himself up on his arm, he kisses my cheek. "You mean you're not going to get sick of working with me these next few months?"
"Are you kidding?" I sigh against his chest. "This isn't going to feel like work."
"Why? Because we'll be traveling?"
I lean over and kiss his lips. "No, because I'll be with you."
