Chapter 643

• “I’m still mad at you.” Emma slid her palms across his stomach, sending shivers of anticipation through him, her hands smoothing within his jacket, which was open and sliding across the muscles in his chest. He had to steel himself against the urge to turn to Jell-O. His eyes followed her progress, and the tiny hint of a smile tugged at her lips. He couldn’t stop looking at her.
• “I don’t blame you, Bella.” He frowned. “I’m mad at me too,” Jake replied regretfully, smoothing her hair back behind her ear and taking a moment to focus on untangling a strand from the dangling diamond cluster earring. He needed to calm down his playboy impulses if he was going to romance her into a happy ever after. She wouldn’t be some one-night piece of fun for him; Emma was all he had been waiting for in life. The other half of his soul. He watched her carefully, regret at so many lost months eating at him, knowing if he had just been honest with her long ago, then he would have always had her.
