Chapter 596

• Jake’s eyes hold mine, his hand slides into my fingers, and he pulls me toward him with a determined tug and a naughty smile on his handsome face. He doesn’t wait for permission but kisses me fully on the mouth. His lips molding to mine and cupping my jaw so he can get as close as possible while naughtily gliding his tongue, passionately, across mine. He puts an arm around my waist and brings me to meet his body with another tug. I’m not sure full-on tongue is appropriate, but I have no chance of resisting given the way he kisses; I never could. His kisses always have the ability to make me forget where we are.
• “I think you’re meant to wait for the ‘you may now kiss the bride’ bit,” Daniel smirks at us when Jake pulls back and fixes my lipstick with his thumb. He throws Daniel a defiant smile looking like the cat who got the cream.
• “Fuck off. I can kiss her whenever I damn well please … It’s a perk of being hers.” Jake grins, his effortlessly ‘I’m hot, and I don’t give a fuck’ smile that melts my panties on sight. He turns back to me, almost ignoring the uneasy shuffling of the man above us, ready to take us through our vows. “Sorry, Father,” Jake mumbles apologetically. “She’s irresistible, and I can’t help it.” He smiles up at the poor priest with a decidedly unapologetic look. The man just nods with a rather blushed face and rattled expression. I guess he doesn’t like his service being played out backward. I nudge Jake with my bouquet to tell him to behave, but he only winks at me and earns himself a sigh.
