The Stopover (The Miles High Club 1)

He chuckles as he takes me in his arms. “Jealous?”

“Yes, I am, actually. I don’t like other women looking at you. It makes me stabby,” I snap as I stir the sauce. “Cut it out with the sexy smiling around other women too.”

His lips come to my neck as he holds me from behind, and I can feel his erection up against my behind. “Let’s go to bed.”

“No, you’re eating first.” I point to the kitchen counter. “Sit.”

His eyes dance in delight, and he does as he’s told. I place his dinner in front of him. “Hmm, looks good.” He smiles.

I sit beside him and watch him for a moment as he eats. “Why did you ask Alan to move my stuff in here?”

He chews his steak. “Because I want you to move in.”

“Since when? We haven’t discussed this at all.”

“Yes, we have.” He swallows his food. “We talked about it this morning.”

“When?” I frown.

“When I told you that I wanted to do this, and you said me too.”

I stare at him, my mind a clusterfuck of confusion. “Jameson, doing this is in my mind holding hands in public and dating. Maybe meeting each other’s families.”

He frowns as he watches me.

“What’s with the sudden change? Last week you got angry with me for falling in love with you. I couldn’t even look at you after sex without you getting upset with me.”

He sips his wine, obviously annoyed. “You said you didn’t love me. Are you saying that now you do?”

“That’s not the point. You know what I mean.”

“I want us to make a go of it.” He shrugs. “So today I moved forward with my plans.”

“Plans?” I frown. “I’m not a business transaction, Jameson. You don’t move forward with your plans without talking to me first. They aren’t just your plans, you know.”

He clenches his jaw, unimpressed, as his eyes hold mine.

“There are two people in this relationship, Jay, and me loving you does not mean you get to take me over.”

“I know that,” he snaps. “So you do love me now? Make up your mind, woman.”

“Stop changing the subject. Do you understand what I’m saying to you?”

“Yes, Emily.” He sighs as if he’s getting lectured by the school principal.

“I just don’t know why you’ve had this sudden change of heart.” I shrug. “It’s peculiar.”

“My heart hasn’t changed at all. My situation has.”

“What does that mean?” I frown.

He exhales heavily. “I went and saw Claudia in London.”

Oh no, his ex. I’m not supposed to know that. I had better play dumb. “Who’s Claudia?”

“My ex.”

I frown as I try my hardest to hold my tongue. Act calm, act calm.
