“Then maybe this will convince you.” Nara wrapped her arms around him again and this time her kiss was backed with passion. He could barely stand it as the kiss took his breath away.
For years he’d dreamed of Nara falling in love with him. She was his unspoken desire every day. His first thought in the morning and his last at night. He could only dream that she would return to Los Angeles so he could spend time with her and hope that she would see him as something other than the stuffy man he knew she saw.
When Richard came up with the insane plan of forcing her to marry Derek, he balked. He never thought that would work. But Richard was so set on it, he had to go along, especially when Nara finally caved and said she would.
He had hoped something would come of it, but never in his dreams imagined she would fall in love with him in one week.
He had finally gotten exactly what he wanted. And he was never going to let her go.
Epilogue
Nara snuggled into Derek’s side as he used the remote to turn on the television. Although, she suspected there wouldn’t be a lot of TV watching going on. It had only been a week since she moved back into Derek’s house and they’d officially become a true married couple, but she still felt like they were on their honeymoon.
“What do you want to watch?” he asked, looking at her.
“You.”
He chuckled. “No, really?”
“I’m kind of serious. You’re my hero, you know that?”
One eyebrow raised. “How?”
“You found that amazing lawyer, for one.”
“The one that said he could prove those designs were yours?”
She reached up and put her arms around his neck. “Yep. That’s the guy.”
“What else?” he said, clearly enjoying this.
“You’re my supplier.”
He laughed. “Diet Coke, or strawberry syrup?”
“Both,” she said, kissing his nose.
“Is that it?”
“Nope.” She pulled Larry the unicorn onto her lap. “You won me this amazing stuffed animal.”
“Won?”
“Let’s not quibble over words. He’s adorable, and he smells like you.”
Derek gave up and set the remote on the coffee table. He made a face. “Only because you spray my cologne on him.”
“I like it that way.”
He leaned over and kissed her. “Is that all?”
“Man, are you fishing for compliments or what?” She poked him in the side and he grabbed her wrist.
“You’re the one who started it.”
An overwhelming feeling of joy enveloped her, and she smiled. This is how life should be. Just sitting on the couch with the person you love, having playful conversations. She was so content, she couldn’t imagine anything else in life that she would want. “That’s because you really are my hero.”
His phone chimed and he pulled it out of his pocket. He looked at the screen. “Oh, I’d better take this call.”
