Come Midnight Page 9

  Bree laughed. She went up on her toes and lightly kissed him. “My mom wants to meet you.”

  “Good. She can help us plan the wedding.”

  Her eyes stung, but they were tears of joy. “I didn’t think you loved me.”

  Derek wiped a tear from her cheek. “I think I fell in love with you on the plane when you held a stranger’s baby in your arms.”

  Her heart squeezed. “I was coming to Houston. I was thinking I wasn’t going to let you go so easily.”

  “Yeah? Well, now that you’re mine, baby, I’m never letting you go.” Then he kissed her, and Bree had never loved him more.

  Except maybe in the jungle when he had saved her from that python.
