Chapter Thirty-Two
“YOU’RE A CRUEL girl,” Riley said as she eyed Jade in her short denim skirt and sexy Rogue boots.
“What?” Jade fingered the plunging neckline of her nearly transparent silky blouse. She might not be able to be with Rex in public, but she sure as heck could keep his mind on her and her alone.
They stood by the busy concert entrance, waiting for Rex and his siblings to arrive. Half the town was already there, and Jade was nervous about being there with Rex. She was sure her feelings for him were written all over her face. She plastered a smile on her lips and hoped that no one would notice how her smile changed when Rex arrived.
“Oh, there they are!” Riley pointed to the Bradens walking across the parking lot. “Wow. It’s like watching the opening of a movie, when the actors all walk out. They really are the hottest family around.”
“Stop drooling,” Jade said as she licked her lips. Rex walked between Josh and Treat, his eyes locked on Jade. His arms arced out to his sides from his glorious muscles, and every step of his thick, powerful thighs straining against his jeans made her heart thump a little harder. Savannah bent down to pick something up, while the others continued forward. Max reached for Treat’s hand, and Treat pulled her close. Rex hung back with Savannah. He touched her shoulder lightly, saying something that Jade couldn’t hear. Savannah looked up and smiled. She got up and hugged him, and Jade felt her restraint falling away. The way Rex loved resonated in everything he did, not only with his siblings, or the way he said all the right things to Jade, or the perfect specimen of a man that he obviously was. Those things were only part of the equation. His desire not to hurt his father by rushing to disclose their relationship was also the way he loved. Seeing him now, waiting for Savannah, walking with his arm around her, Jade knew she was a goner. She thought she’d fallen for him before. Now, she realized, she hadn’t fallen; she’d tumbled head over heels, and there was no righting herself.
