“I can’t believe you brought him.”
“He’s part of us. I couldn’t leave him at home. Just like I could never leave you.”
Jameson threaded our fingers and squeezed.
“Come on, cowboy. I think the muse needs a little refueling. What do you say?”
I gripped him by the nape of the neck and pulled him in for a searing kiss. When I broke the kiss, we were both breathing heavily. I was hard, aching, needy, and it was all for him.
“I’d say let’s make tonight worth writing a song about.”
The soft sexy sound he made went straight to my dick.
“With you, it’s always song worthy.”
Chapter Twenty-Two
JAMESON
“Jamie? Why is there a packed suitcase in the hall?” Killian asked as I led him through into the house.
My shoulders stiffened because, at first, I didn’t want to tell him. I didn’t want to seem desperate. He’d come back for me. He loved me. But then I let myself think about all the ways I would have felt if he’d done the leaving.
“Actually, I was meant to be heading to the airport in about half an hour.”
“Oh, shit. Where are you going? I didn’t mean to…fuck, I’m an asshole. I just showed up. You have somewhere to be?”
The way his shoulders slumped and that defeat on his face made me want nothing more than to fix it.
“No, Kill. I was on my way to Sunrise to go back and get you.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, really. I’ve never had anything like this before. But I don’t want to let it go. We can split our time between here and Sunrise. Or, I don’t know, just go back to Montana. I don’t have to live in LA.”
“So, you don’t want to do the long-distance thing?”
I shook my head. “We’ve successfully proven we can live together and not lose our minds. I think that would be a step backward.”
“But if you’re not ready—”
“It’s not that I’m not ready. It’s that nearly everyone in my life who’s meant something to me has left me. There weren’t that many of them to start with. It’s always been hard for me to make connections, but you? Even when you didn’t want me there, for some reason, I still persisted. I couldn’t let you go.
“There was this niggling thought in the back of my mind that if I gave up on us, I’d be letting go of the best thing in my life.”
“You still left me behind, though.”
That stung, but it was true. “Yeah, I did. I thought I was being an obstacle. And I didn’t want to do that to you.”
“But you aren’t. You know that, right? I’ve made it fucking clear. You are the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me. I thought my life was over when I lost my band. I had accepted that I was the fuckup I always worried everyone thought I was. And then you made me see that couldn’t be farther from the truth. And I need to know that you understand how special that is, and what you did for me.”
“I just told you the truth, Killian. You’re magic.”
“And what happens when that magic disappears?”
“You’ll still be mine, and you’ll always be magic to me.”
“You don’t care what other people think?”
