“I went to get you something to drink.”
“Huh?”
“I didn’t know if you’d need something to drink, after…”
He lets his statement hang, and I think about it, then burst out laughing. “Fuck, I love you.” The words are out of my mouth before I can pull them back in. Quinn’s eyes go wide. His back is to everyone, but I can see it when they finally get what’s going on and try to look busy doing something else.
“I mean-” He slams his mouth against mine and kisses me in front of everyone. The kiss isn’t gentle. It’s all tongue and teeth and messy as fuck, but it’s us.
He pulls back and stares at me. “I thought something happened to you. I thought you were both gone, and I was going out of my mind. I need you both, but fuck you’re the person I turn to when things go sideways, and you weren’t there. My best friend was gone. The two people I’m in love with were gone and I couldn’t find you. Don’t you ever fucking do that again Jasper. Not again!”
“You love me?” I grin, and he rolls his eyes. “Let’s get our woman back. What do we know so far?”
