Chapter 628

Driving the coastal roads on the cliffs above where the yacht was moored, in the rented sports car, wasn’t helping Jake’s mood much. Despite the companionable silence between them, he was tense as hell. He caught her looking his way a few times but ignored it, keeping his eyes on the winding road and handling the powerful car expertly. He had been using the quiet time to think things through and look for ways to fix this and other outcomes, yet he always came back to the same problem. Emma just didn’t feel the same way about him, and he had to accept it. Sighing to himself for the hundredth time, he focused on just the here and now of being with her and enjoying the beautiful scenery and the rest of their trip.
Feeling her eyes on him once more, he tried to lighten his mood, smiling her way softly, remembering a little too well what she had felt like in his arms. That soft mouth and smooth skin, that tongue of hers meeting with his, that body molded so seamlessly to his own. If anything, he could imprint all of it to memory for a lifetime and never regret one second of it. To be able to kiss her so freely had been more than he had ever imagined it could be.
“So? Are we literally just driving then?” she asked brightly, breaking the silence between them and looking his way openly, a small, subtle smile on show.
