He grinned. “Good.”
“Good? That’s all I get for my heartfelt declaration?”
Jake pulled her closer, kissing her lightly before whispering, “It’s about time. I’ve been completely head-over-heels for you since the first night I met you, Sondra.”
“Oh.” Her heart fluttered in her chest, and she couldn’t rein in the idiotic grin splitting her lips until she heard a smothered oath behind her.
Turning her head, she met the cold eyes of Whitney Jacobi. The frosty blue orbs plainly broadcast her disapproval and disgust. Despite her earlier bravado, and her determination not to let Whitney and Eleanor run her off, she shivered slightly.
She had an enemy in her lover’s mother, and she wasn’t foolish enough to think that was something she should take lightly or dismiss. Even if Jake truly loved her, he also loved his mother, and she didn’t want him to be in a position where he had to choose. It wouldn’t be fair to him.
Old insecurities reared their head, making her admit she wasn’t completely confident he would pick her if it came to that scenario. Could she be enough for Jake if it meant giving up his mother? She could only hope it wouldn’t come to that. As she looked away from Whitney and the disdainful Eleanor at her side, she straightened her spine and vowed she would do everything she could to shield Jake from the brewing conflict. No, not everything. She couldn’t imagine walking away from Jake now, when their relationship was poised to move to another level.
All she could do was hope Whitney didn’t cause too much trouble. Her naturally pessimistic outlook aided her in not being able to summon much optimism for that possibility. Trouble was coming, and all she could do was hold onto Jake tenaciously and assert her right to be at his side as long as he wanted her.

“Why did you run away, Savannah?”
He had a way of cutting right to the chase.
“I didn’t mean for any of this to happen. I was just out for a little fun. I don’t do this kind of stuff!”
“You mean kiss on the first date?” Graham said softly, a hint of laughter in his voice.
“I mean get married to the first guy I’ve ever had a one night stand with!”
His eyebrow rose as he cocked his beautifully handsome head to the side. “Obviously, I was hoping for a little more than one night.”
I want more than one night too. Can I have more than one night?
“We have nothing in common, Graham. You’re some bigshot billionaire, I’m just a girl trying to make her own way in the world… And…”
I hesitated.
“And what?”
“And you’re white.”
“I’ve noticed, Savannah,” Graham said with a cool tone, his smile still firmly planted on his face. “After last night, I didn’t expect that would be a problem for you…”
