Chapter 408

• “Wake up, Bambina, we’re almost there.” Jake’s mouth hovers over mine, his breath soft on my skin. I yawn and stretch out in the seat beside him, confused that I’m in a car, not the plane. I look up and around quickly as I sit up fast.
• “How the …?” I’m seriously confused. We’re in a limo, and the scenery outside is tropical.
• “You fell asleep on my lap. I carried you to the car. We’ll be at the port in a couple of minutes.” He smiles at me, stroking back my hair from my face. “You look beautiful when you sleep, Bambina. Completely at peace and cute as a button.” My face heats as the blush rises; I don’t know why I’m always surprised when Jake is so sweet, so non-Carrero. I knew he could be this way even when I was only his PA, but he’s definitely upped the ante since telling me he loved me. With fewer sexual references and more adorable ones, he makes me feel desirable and beautiful like I’m floating on top of the world.
