taste yours.” I took a tentative sip and she was
right, it was good. Sweet and yummy, my first taste of the forbidden juice. She
was back to dragging me off again and looking around as if searching for
someone. There was enough energy jumping off of her to light up the skyline.
Probably Dylan, she always acts like that when he’s around. We found a corner
that was less crowded and stood back to watch the revelers.
    “So what did you
want to tell me?” I had to shout to be heard above the music. She was still
busy looking around and I wondered how she expected to find anyone in this. “In
a minute.” She got to her toes and started looking over shoulders. I decided to
ignore her crazy and enjoy my drink. I could get used to this. She suddenly
screamed like someone was killing her and grabbed onto me while jumping up and
down. I heard a voice say, ‘there she is’ one second before I was crushed up
against a hard chest and lips covered mine. I know that mouth, sweet merciful
heavens…everything inside me went south and I held on tight after dropping my
forgotten drink on the floor. It was a while before my lips were freed and I
looked up into the most beautiful face I’d ever seen.
    “Jake?” My voice was
barely above a whisper, it’s all I could muster right now, but somehow he heard
me.
    “It’s me baby.” He
grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled my head back, staring down at me for
the longest while. And then a smile broke out across his gorgeous face.

    He pulled me in
close and hugged me so tight. My heart beat hard against my ribs and my knees
turned to liquid. And though it felt like my bones were being crushed to
powder, it was the sweetest, most precious hug in the world. No one had ever
felt the way I did right now, they couldn’t. There’s no way another human being
had ever felt this intense love, it was not to be borne. I buried my nose in
his chest inhaling his scent. He was a wild mix of leather, his own natural
scent and something spicy that all blended together to make the most potent
ovary stimulating concoction. My Jake was here, he was really here; I returned
his hug the best I could. The crowded room had ceased to exist the moment he
pulled me into his arms, there was only the two of us and nothing else
mattered, nothing. Above the thump, thump, thump, of my heart I felt his, and
then it happened, that’s when I did it. The one thing I’d always promised
myself I would never do if and when we met again. I cried like a newborn babe.
Clutching at him I let the past three years of fear and frustration and
loneliness pour forth. He hugged me around the shoulders with one arm while
running the other up and down my back soothingly while whispering softly in my
ear. “I’m taking her out of here Mindy, you good?” I lifted my head and looked
back at the forgotten Mindy who had her hands clasped in front of her mouth as
if in prayer as tears streamed down her face. She nodded yes to her brother
just as Dylan appeared at her side and put his arms around her. “I’ve got her
Jake you guys go on.”
    Jake released me
long enough to grab my hand and pull us through the crowd. Who he didn’t push
out of the way automatically parted to let us through. Did I forget to mention
that Jake is a giant? Okay that’s a bit of an exaggeration but he is at least
six four. I’m sure the leather jacket over the tank with the tattoos on his
neck and some of the ones on his chest peeping through added to the visage of a
badass. People just automatically got out of the way and pretty soon we were in
the cool night air. His grip on my hand was tight and sure and gave me
strength. I don’t know what was coming next but I knew this time I was going to
fight. “Let’s go baby we’ll take my bike and come back for your car later.” He
pulled me over to this monstrosity of black and chrome. I’m not an expert but I
do believe it’s what people in the know might call a sweet
