Chapter 534

• “God, I missed you.” Jake leans in and kisses me passionately, our mouths connecting sensually. He makes sure I know exactly how much he’s missed me in one breathless embrace, lingering momentarily, and runs a hand across my face before loosening his tie and pulling it off. I can’t help but giggle and sag into that strong embrace weakly. He’s just arrived home and went straight to our bedroom, skipping up here like a child to see me.
• Finally putting me down, he slides his jacket off and throws it on the end of the bed. I’m lounging, watching him in adoration, magazines strewn, and TV on low in the late evening, just so glad to have him with me again.
• He’s been gone three whole days; work was demanding today, and his texts informed me there’d been three back-to-back meetings he needed to get out of the way before coming home. He has so much going on, and a little part of me feels guilty that I’m not helping anymore, in fact, I have no clue about any of the ventures he is overseeing nowadays.
