Jared squeezed my hand, and I looked up to stare into those sexy midnight eyes. He set Ryan down, guiding Corbin so that the two boys stood in front of us.
“Just a second, guys,” Jared said. “I need to re-create one of my favorite memories of all time.”
My heart fluttered as he bent me over his arm. People probably thought I was crazy as I tossed my imaginary bouquet overhead, then brought my fingers to the side of Jared’s rugged jaw.
His kiss was just as soft, just as seductive. But now the shimmering emotions surrounding us were so much deeper.
As the camera flashes went off around us, the entire room heard Corbin’s disgusted voice. “Mommy and Daddy, that’s gross!”
Even through our kiss, we laughed together as his hand slipped down my side and he set me back on my feet. “You’re still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” Jared murmured into my ear. “I love you.”
“I love you,” I whispered, nuzzling his neck for just a second before taking Corbin’s hand again.
This time, as we left the stage, I was genuinely proud of my performance. From the absolutely delighted look on Jessie’s face, she was happy as well.
“Take the kids,” Jared said quickly. He grabbed his sister’s arm, marching her down the catwalk to take a bow.
I loved that he played the part of a billionaire for his little sister years ago. It was clear that Jared found modeling embarrassing and awkward, but he would go to any lengths to care for the women in his life. My tough guy was finally acknowledging his tender side, which brought a little more balance for both of us.
As Jessie and Jared returned to the wings for a big sloppy family hug, It felt like everything had come full circle. Our meeting had been accidental, but our love had been strong from the very start.
Jared’s eyes caught mine over Jessie’s head as he whispered, “Pizza tonight so we can all go to bed early.”
Nodding, I knew exactly what he meant, as his fingers curled around mine. The reenactment of our first kiss made his eyes blaze, and my desire spiked through the roof of the echoing warehouse.
It was clear that we’d be reenacting several more favorite memories all night long.
