Chapter 15

“Jesse,” Carr murmured. “I have something important to tell you.”

Jesse gently pulled Carr’s fingers away from his lips. “I’m sure you do. Spiel it. Whatever it is.”

A sigh filled the room. Jesse heard Carr swallow, then Carr admitted, “I left the jungle for you…for us. Do you know that?”

Jesse had. All too easily within the last two days with Carr de Vantino. “It wasn’t hard to figure out. The pieces of your puzzle were slipping together rather nicely and easily. I just didn’t pressure you about it, although maybe I should have.”

“I didn’t think it would be hard to figure out. Not that I wanted it to.”

Act, don’t think, filled Jesse’s mind. Jilly’s words.Jesse listened to the voice and took his sister’s advice, questioning Carr, “Who have you loved in your life throughout the years?”

“Before tonight?”

“Before tonight. Tell me. I want to know. We talk about everything except for your sex life and the people you’ve dated and fallen in love with.”
