“It would make Grandpa happy to know he was helping James,” I said. “So let him help, Lana.”
She started to sob again, so I pulled her close, my arm around her shoulders.
“I’m so sorry about everything,” she said, clearing her throat. “I resigned after what happened at the tasting. I’m so sorry about—”
I touched my finger to her lips to stop her. “About flying to Colorado to try and fix things? Vera called this morning.”
She nodded, still looking glum. “I did the best I could. I’m really sorry, Dylan.”
“They’re going ahead with the collab, baby. You won them over. We’re meeting with them about the first test run next week. I was going to call you or just show up at your house if you wouldn’t answer your phone to tell you after I left here.” I stroked her hair and cupped her cheek. “Nothing that happened at the tasting was your fault, and you still managed to pull the deal out of the fire. The agency should be begging you to come back if they have any sense.”
The look of joy and relief on her face made her even more beautiful than she already was. Her blue eyes shone with tears, and another tracked its way down her cheek.
“I’llbeg if I have to,” I finally said. “Because I have sense, even if they don’t. I need you, Lana. Whatever you think is so messed up between us, it can be fixed, just like you fixed the collab with Emberox. We can get through whatever comes, as long as we’re together.”
I brushed my thumb over her perfect, pink lips, then I leaned over and kissed her.
My throat tightened in relief when Lana wrapped her arms tightly around my neck and kissed me back.

I stood behind Lana as she unlocked her door, my hands on her hip. I dipped my head to nuzzle the back of her neck, causing her to giggle and shrug her shoulders.
After we’d kissed on the bench outside Crystal Fountains, we’d gone to the sun porch where James was waiting for her. He beamed when he saw us together, Lana’s hand in mine.
“About damn time,” he said with a laugh.
It had been a shorter visit than Lana had intended, but James had gotten into a game of cards with one of his friends anyway.
We promised to come back and visit together next time, and that made James happy.
The lock clicked, so Lana pushed the door open. When I closed it behind me, I pressed my back against it and pulled her close.
“God, I’ve missed you,” I breathed against her lips, then I kissed her deeply.
Lana took my face in her hands, and I stared into her gorgeous blue eyes.
“I should have said it a long time ago, Dylan. I shouldn’t have waited, but I was afraid.” She kissed me again and said, “I love you, Dylan. I’ve been in love with you for so long.”
Hearing her finally say it was good medicine for all the hurt and misunderstandings. Could anything really be wrong if Lana loved me?
“I love you, baby,” I said back to her. “So much.”
I grabbed her ass and lifted her to straddle my hips, then I walked us to her bedroom, kissing her the whole way. I felt almost frantic with the need to feel her body beneath mine. To feel her slick heat wrapped around my cock.
To hear my name from her lips as she came.
We were in such a hurry to get our clothes off, a button pinged against the wooden floor, and I didn’t know if it had popped off her shirt or mine.
And I didn’t care.
She lay back on the bed, so I lay atop her, already rubbing my cock between her legs and moaning at the heat I found there. But it had been too long since I’d tasted her. There was nothing like feeling her come against my tongue and knowing that I could undo her so easily.
I kissed my way down her body, loving her quick little breaths of anticipation.
“Dylan,” she moaned as I teased around between her legs with my tongue, licking the crease where her thigh met her body, liking her outer lips, but avoiding the place I knew she wanted my tongue most. I wanted her so bad and I struggled not to hurry. I wanted it to last as long as possible.
Finally, with her squirming because she wanted it so badly, I couldn’t resist anymore. I licked up from her opening to her clit and pressed my lips in a pucker around her little pulsing button to suck lightly.
