As he paid, he struggled to keep his face plain and not show the pure joy he felt at this very minute. When he first walked into this shop he was a man on a mission. Then he’d spotted Anna, who wouldn’t make a very good agent as she got all excited and almost waved at him. Luckily anyone watching might put that down to hormones. His ‘man on a mission’ feeling had started to crumble then, knowing Jaz was here. His steps faltered, he stopped to grab a shirt off the rack in his size while trying to calm the sensation gripping his body. Just the thought of seeing her, having her so close had nearly undone him. Yet he continued to where Jaz was waiting. To kiss her and hold her in his arms properly, not like that second hug at The Duke. All that had done was make him crazy with want. It was strange how he could be in a moment of pure bliss and delirium, and then tearing his heart in two as he had to walk away. Except today he was on cloud nine, maybe because he’d got to taste those plump lips, slide his fingers through her hair and tell her how much he loved her.
