Chapter 471

• Lounging between Jake’s legs on the huge sofa in the family room feels amazing after the events of the day before. My head against his chest, he concentrates on a document in his hand and strokes my hair and neck with the other. I’m attempting to read a book, but the sheer blissfulness of our morning has me daydreaming idly instead. Every so often, he plants a kiss on top of my head before turning his papers and silently focusing back on work; he’s reading through contracts for something I’ve no idea about.
• When did this happen? When did I become so disconnected from the business side that I don’t even know what Jake’s reading through anymore?
• I realize it doesn’t bother me; I like lying here detached from work while he still keeps tabs on things in his empire. At this rate, I’m in danger of becoming a kept girlfriend, and I’m not sure how I feel about it.
