Stanton Box Set

He nods. “He pursued me, Tash, and then when he found that there was really love between us he told me he’s guilty for feeling like this when his husband is dead.” He shakes his head. “I should have known that the story wasn’t going to end happily. In fact I did know and that is why I resisted him for so long.” He sighs and I

kiss the back of his hand again sympathetically.

“I’m sure it will work out. Look at Joshua and me, we have been to hell and back. Love always wins in the end Adrian, I honestly believe that.”

He widens his eyes at me in jest. “Yes, but your name is Cinderella, and you are living in a fairy tale with Prince Charming.” He laughs.

“Prince Lamborghini you mean.” I giggle and he laughs out loud.

“Prepare for landing.” The voice sounds over the intercom.

Joshua leans over the back of our seats and I turn. How long has he been listening to our conversation? He gives me a wink and I know he has overheard what has been said.

Adrian stands and goes back to his seat and Joshua slumps back into the seat next to me.

He bends over and does up my seatbelt. “Are you ready to start our new life together my precious girl?” he says gently.

My heart melts. “I am,” I whisper.

“Do you know how adored you are?” he whispers as he bends and kisses me gently on the lips and I swoon at his feet.

“I do,” I smile into his kiss.

“Do you know how loved you are, Joshua Stanton?” I breathe into his lips.

“I do,” he replies softly.

He pulls back and looks at me and the emotion in his eyes brings goosebumps to my skin. I don’t remember the plane landing. I just remember two hands on my cheeks and the beautiful intimate kissing from my beautiful Lamborghini.

Finally, I can relax.

We walk out onto the pool deck in Ben’s and Adrian’s house where breakfast is being served and I laugh as I see everyone. They all cheer at our arrival. It’s been a massive week here in Thailand. My whole life has changed.

“You all look like shit.” I giggle.

“Shut up,” Bridget sighs.

Adrian lifts his head from his hands. “Where did you two disappear to last night?” he asks.

“We went to celebrate alone.” Joshua smiles as he picks up my hand and kisses the back of it. My cheeks heat—celebrate we did.

“Where’s Cameron?” I ask.

“In the kitchen,” Ben replies.

Joshua and I walk into the house and into the kitchen to see Cam.

He is on the phone and his anxiety is obvious. Joshua frowns as he listens. Cameron hangs up the phone and drops his head into his hands.

I frown at Joshua in question. He shrugs.

“What’s up mate?” Joshua asks quietly.

Cameron’s haunted eyes meet his. “The blood tests came back,” he whispers.

“And?” Joshua replies.

“I’m not a Stanton,” Cameron whispers.
