Falling from Disgrace
Page 19
At Jack’s words, Adrianna’s heart melted. He was right. What was wrong with needing someone? Loving someone meant that you had another person to rely on when you couldn’t do things on your own. And maybe Adrianna would be fine by herself and maybe she wouldn’t. But there was no reason she had to find out.
“Yes,” she answered Jack with a small grin.
“What?” Jack wasn’t sure what she had said, his blood was still rushing in his ears.
“Yes, I want to be with you,” Adrianna laughed and then gasped as Jack swept her off her feet in another bone crushing hug. Without putting her down, he kissed her over and over again, this time chanting that he loved her.
Adrianna squeezed Jack back around his neck and smiled broadly as her chin rested on his shoulder. “You went a little Jerry Maguire on me for a minute there,” she teased.
Chuckling, Jack rested her on her feet but kept his arms wrapped around her. “You’re right, I did- shit, what was the chick’s name from that movie?”
“I don’t know,” Adrianna admitted. “I don’t care.”
“I don’t care either.”
“Just kiss me, Jack.”
And he did.
Adrianna and Jack’s story will continue in Gillian’s book.
