Mr. Arrogant: A Billionaire Romance (20 page)

He took a deep breath and a young woman who was walking past him stopped and looked at him with a grin. She gave him an approving nod and asked, “Are you looking for someone?”

He nodded. “I am. I was hoping to find Naomi Bradshaw.” His heart was beating faster than it was when he was standing on the street looking up at the building. She tipped her head and grinned at him again.

“Sure! I was headed that direction. I’ll take you right to her.” and she walked with him across the room to the biggest office on the floor, one in which the walls were all glass, and none of the glass was covered.

He saw her then, sitting at her desk, laughing and talking with two people in her office. She looked settled and happy. She looked beautiful. She took his breath away just sitting there in his sight. The girl elbowed him and indicated the doorway.

“You can go in.” she said with wink.

He felt as if he was frozen to the floor. “I… uh… I…” he began, wondering how in the world he would ever manage to apologize as much as he should to her. He owed her the whole world. His cheeks warmed and his breath grew short.

The young girl eyed him and then nodded softly. “Okay. I got this.” She cupped her hand over his elbow and guided him into the office.

“Hey, Naomi? You have a visitor.” She said simply, smiling brightly as they entered. Her smile faltered slightly when Naomi turned and her eyes fell on Jonathon, and everything about her composure froze.

“Jonathon…” she spoke his name just above a hush.

The two people in her office cleared their throats and stood up to leave, making their way out swiftly, and walking off with the young girl in mere moments. Jonathon was left alone with Naomi.

She stared at him and he walked toward her, feeling as if he was being pulled to the center of the galaxy, and she was it. He stepped behind her desk and wished that he could scoop her into his arms and hold her as tightly as he wanted to. He knew that he had a lot of work to do before he might be able to do that.

“I have to talk with you. I owe you an enormous apology and an explanation.” He began.

She shook her head and swallowed hard. She couldn’t believe that she was looking at him standing there in her office. “You don’t owe me anything.” She got up from her chair.

“I do… actually. First, I can’t begin to tell you how sorry I am that I hurt you. I never wanted to hurt you. Second, the only reason that I was engaged to Susan was because her father and mine forced us into it. There were threats made that would have hurt other people, and you were one of them. The only reason that I ever agreed to it was to protect you. I did it because there is no one more important to me than you, and I couldn’t let you get hurt by the threats that were made, so I made a sacrifice and I didn’t know it at the time, but I made the wrong sacrifice, and I wound up hurting you when I was trying to do nothing but keep you safe and protect you.” He shook his head and looked deeply into her eyes.

She felt tears springing to her own eyes, and she bit her lip trying to hold them back.

“I have to tell you something, Naomi… I should have told you long before now.” He drew a deep breath and looked earnestly at her. “I love you. I love you more than any woman I have ever known, and I want you back. I want to be with you. I have tried living without you and I just can’t do it. I have never been more miserable than I have been since you left. I need you with me, Naomi.” He felt like his chest was going to burst from the emotion that was overwhelming him.

Naomi could not believe the words that she was hearing him speak, or the genuine look of love in his eyes. He was speaking the very words that she had felt within her for so long, all of them being brought to life between them as they stood there facing each other.

“I love you, too.” she whispered. No matter how much time or effort or method she had tried to make herself get over him, it hadn’t happened. She loved him just as much then as she ever had, and she could feel that love growing as they stood there together. Her heart swelled at his confession for her, and she wiped a tear from her eye.

He lowered himself to one knee and took her hand in his, looking up at her as he held out his mother’s ring to her. “Naomi, you are the love of my life and I want you with me every day from now until I take my last breath in this world. Please forgive me for hurting you, and please give me the chance to make it up to you by loving you with everything in me all of my days. Marry me. Be my wife. I love you.”

She gasped and her hand flew to her mouth as she tried to hold back the tears and love that took her over completely. She pulled him to his feet and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, hugging him with all of the strength in her, and he held her back just as tightly.

“I will marry you,” she said softly as she looked at him with tears in her blue eyes. “I love you with all of my heart, and I always will.”

Jonathon bent to kiss her, losing himself in the feel of her lips on his, knowing that he had finally made the right choice, and that it was going to be the best choice for the rest of his life. He tasted her sweetness and held her close to his heart.

“I’m never going to let you go.” he promised her. She kissed him back, happier than she had ever been.

It was a promise that he kept, and they loved one another all of their lives, with a love that grew stronger every day, always.
