His eyes slide my way, his expression relaxed. He reaches his other hand across his body, touches his fingers to my jaw before sliding his hand to the back of my neck to squeeze me there. “I love you. There’s nothing to forgive.”
For a moment, I get dizzy.
Like the room spins and my breath hitches and my palms immediately turn sweaty. I wasn’t expecting that. Never crossed my mind.
And yet, the minute he gives me those words I know they are so perfect and precious that while I may not have seen it coming, I was ready to hear it.
“I love you,” I reply softly.
Because really… what else could I say.
Except this. “I think that’s why I got unstupid so fast. Because I love you and I knew you were the best kind of complication I could ever hope for in my life. The moment you said those words to me, I knew it was true about myself.”
Jett leans over and kisses me. “I knew it tonight. It came to me when you told me I was nothing like Shane.”
“You’re not,” I rush to reassure him.
He shakes his head, indicating I’m not understanding him. “You told me that I’m different from Shane because I’d never let anything rule my life the way Shane lets drugs rule his.”
“That’s right, and—”
“You rule my life, Emory,” Jett says softly but his words slice right through my thoughts and I fall silent. “I realized that the moment you said those words, and that’s how I knew I loved you. And because I knew I loved you, I was willing to give you a break. But I wasn’t going to let it go on long. I’m glad you got unstupid and decided to keep the brand of complication I bring to your life.”
“God, how did I get so lucky to get you,” I gush, knocking his hand away from my face and lurching up. In a swift move, I’m straddling his hips and kissing him hard.
I can feel him grow hard under me and I press down to rub against him. He groans and then I’m flipped onto my back.
Grinning down at me, eyes alight with mischief and promises, he says, “How about I show you all the ways you got so lucky to have me?”
“Deal,” I exclaim and open my mouth to accept his kiss again.
