“We can’t drink it if we’rehere.”
“You’re so right.”
Chapter Nine
Suddenly I was being half pulled, half carried through the main doors. Jack stopped abruptly at the valet and handed him two twenties and his ticket.
“I’mreallyanxious to go home.”
“Yes, sir.”
Nice.
“Are you okay to drive, Jack?”
“My last two drinks were pure soda. I’d never risk your safety.”
My mouth dropped open. “You stopped drinking to make sure you could drive me home?”
“Of course.”
Seriously impressive.
Two minutes later, the valet pulled up in a new Land Rover and ran around to open my door.
Jack tipped him another ten and put my bag in back before guiding me to the passenger seat.
From behind us, one of the drunk guests from the wedding watched us with interest. “In a rush to get laid, ol’ boy?”
Jack’s head whipped around. “What did you say?”
“That’s Kevin’s old lady. Before thenewone, I mean. He had some stories about herskills, if you know what I…”
I was humiliated then stunned at how quickly Jack moved.
He had the man by his shirt and shook him. “One more word and I’ll risk jail time.”
“Easy now, fella. All in good fun.”
“You don’t talk aboutanywoman like that and especially notthisone.” He released him.
The drunk seemed genuinely confused. “I didn’t mean nothing. Said she was real smart, loaded, and had the best ti…”
“Stop!” I shouted. “I get it. You’re sorry. Goodbye now.”
Jack shook his head. “You being one of Kevin’s friends doesn’t surprise me. Petra was theonlything that jackass ever did right in his life.” Straightening his jacket, he turned to me and added while looking into my eyes, “His loss.”
Stepping close, he bent andputme in the vehicle. I started to protest being lifted, a little surprised he hadn’t struggled to be honest, and he put his fingertips over my lips.
Then he replaced his fingers with his mouth. The sensation of strong fingers drifting down my arm gave me chills.
I knew this man was going to leave a rather large hole in my heart when the new day arrived and didn’t even care.
I was going to take what I could get with both hands.
There was no rushing Jack’s kiss. I lost track of time and he appeared to disregard its existence completely.
A part of me wondered what the venue staff thought but I didn’t care becausemy godhis mouth was magic.
