rain, he could see she was crying, and it tore at his heart, still tight and aching in his chest. His stomach in knots, he tried to explain, wishing they were anywhere but in the pouring rain with an audience.
    “Don’t go, Annie . Why are you leaving? Why does it have to be goodbye? Stay. Please. For me?” He was begging, but right now was not the time to let his pride or his rules get in the way.
    “ I have to, Myles! I can’t stay . I can’t stay here and pret end that what we have is enough. I t’s not ! I want more, I … I … need more! I… you don’t know…I just…just go, Myles ! Let me go! ” Her head dropped and the tears fell faster, harder. Gut wrenching sobs spilled from her unabated as he wrapped his hands around her shoulders, leaning to look in her face.
    “You what, Annie? Tell me. You can’t leave me without a reason ! I can’t let you go , don’t you see that!? I can’t lose you!”
    “I’m pr egnant, Myles. ” Exasperated and beginning to weep uncontrollably, she said the words as though they hurt her to say them. She tried to turn away from him, but he pulled her into his chest, wrapping his body around hers and cradling her close.
    “Why didn’t you tell me, Annie? You should have told me. But I should have told you something too. ” He pushed her back just a bit, lifting her chin to look at him. “I love you, Annie . I always have. The moment I saw you in the foyer of my club, I knew you were made to be mine; my perfect match, but I pretended I didn’t need love . I was wrong. I need love. I need you, Arianna Marshall. Say you’ll s tay. The rest …we’ll figure out …t ogether. ” He held his breath waiting for her to answer him. She sobbed harder, but threw her arms around his neck, and he lifted her off her feet, turning her in a circle.
    “Yes, Myles . Yes, I’ll stay!” Cheers and whistles sounded over the rain and thunder from the plane behind them as he set her on her feet. Looking into her eyes, he pressed his lips against hers in a tender kiss, tangling their tongues and losing himself in her. When Rissa came up behind him to interrupt, he pulled away and looked where Rissa was pointing. The plane was trying to taxi, but they were in the way. Taking Arianna’s things from Rissa, he wrapped his arm around her , walking her back to the steps of the plank and back into the airport to a cheering crowd. The blush on her cheeks made him laugh before he leaned down.
    “I promise, the next time you’r e blushing in public, it will be for a completely different reason.” She tucked herself under his arm and into the crook of his body as they made their way, drenched and freezing, outside to Evan’s waiting hummer . When he came around despite the rain to open Rissa ’ s door and help her up, she leapt into his arms and kissed him deeply. With everyone settled in the car, Evan turned back to Myles and Arianna in the back seat.
    “He’s one lucky man to have found his soul mate . Even luckier that he was able to catch you before you got away. It’s nice to finally meet you, Arianna.”
    The drive back to his house was uneventful, but it wouldn’t stay that way for long. As soon as he got her into the house and to the bedroom, he wasn’t letting her out from betwee n the sheets for a very long time. He loved her. She loved him. And he intended to prove it to her over and over again until they both understood just how much they belonged together.
    Chapter Ten
    Even though it felt like weeks since he’d dragged her caveman style off of an airplane to confess his love for her, it had been only three days. Three blissfully lazy, pleasure-filled days of sex, pampering, sex, sleep, and more sex. Her body ached all over, but it was a wonderful soreness. She would be content to stay in his bed, ravished by him every minute of every day for the rest of their lives, but Rissa had helped him bring her back, helped them keep each other, and they owed her too much to miss
