Jeffry (Members From Money Book 3)

by Katie Dowe

  "I didn't know which flowers you liked so I went with everything."

  "It's lovely. Don't worry about it." Smile fading, Christina lowered the flowers to her lap. "I'm so sorry about Josh."

  At the time of the crash, Josh had lost control of the car and it had flipped. Somehow there were no serious injuries. Jack had only received a few cuts and scrapes. And Christina had bruises where her seatbelt had held her in place and a bandage wrapped around her head from where she had hit it against the window.

  Josh hadn't been as lucky. He hadn't worn his seatbelt and had been thrown around inside like a rag doll. He was alive but in intensive care with internal injuries. Because he was unconscious he hadn't been formally arrested yet but there was an armed guard outside his room.

  Nathan sighed and sat on the edge of the bed.

  "I had no idea he thought like that." He said morosely. "If I'd known about it, then maybe..."

  Christina laid a hand over his. She had just got over the idea that Josh was even capable of these crimes. She couldn't imagine how Nathan was feeling knowing his own brother had tried to kill his family.

  "You couldn't have helped him, Nate. He was long past help."

  That was the sad part of it. Josh had taken a leave of his senses. His hatred for Nathan had overtaken him and chances were standing for trial would be slim if his lawyers demanded a psych evaluation.

  Christina couldn't bring herself to hate Josh. Even after what she had been through.

  "Speaking of gone," Nathan looked at her, "Are you?"

  Christina blinked.

  "Am I what?"

  "Gone. As in gone from my life."

  Christina realized what he was asking. She closed her eyes and took a breath.

  "My job contract has finished." She said slowly. "There's no need for me to stay."

  "What if I want you to?" Christina opened her eyes to see Nathan looking at her earnestly. He sighed and looked ashamed. "I shouldn't have treated you the way I did, Chris. But I was angry at myself. You didn't deserve that."

  "You had every right. I was as much in the wrong as you were."

  "No, I didn't." Nathan closed his eyes and let out a shuddering breath. "I had just found the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and I pushed you away."

  "What are you saying?"

  Christina could guess what he was saying but she needed to hear it out loud and in simpler terms. She didn't want any misunderstandings later on.

  Nathan opened his eyes. The love in his face was clear to her. He cupped her cheek in his hand and kissed her gently.

  "I love you, Chris." He whispered. "Among everything we've shared you have given me the most important thing of all."

  "What's that?"

  "A second chance of having a family. Since Katie died I've felt incomplete, like there was a hole in my life. When you came, you effortlessly filled in that hole. You complete the family I've been looking for." Nathan sighed. "I know we're from different backgrounds and that might be a barrier for a while but could you see yourself becoming my wife and living my lifestyle?"

  If she had been asked that when she had first met Nathan Gilmore, Christina would have laughed and said there was no chance. But now her opinions and feelings were different. She smiled and brushed a kiss across his lips.

  "Could you see yourself growing accustomed to my more down-to-earth attitudes? I will never be one of those rich women who flaunt about with expensive clothes and jewelry."

  Nathan laughed.

  "If you turned into that sort of woman I'd be scared. I'm expecting your down-to-earth behavior to keep me grounded. Level me out." His look became mischievous. "And don't forget Jack comes as part of the package."

  Christina grinned.

  "Of course. I wouldn't want less than that." She brushed her fingers across Nathan's cheek, running a thumb across his lips. "I love you, Nate."

  Nathan growled. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her thoroughly, thrusting his tongue into her mouth. Christina welcomed it eagerly, feeling lighter than she had done in the last forty-eight hours.

  Then Nathan pulled back and stared down at her, hunger and love in his expression.

  "Marry me." He said gruffly.

  That was him all over. Demanding as usual. Christina laughed and drew him down for another kiss.

  "Yes."

  The end.
