Chapter Seventeen

The rehearsal dinner was finally winding down.

As the departing guests chirped and buzzed about what they’d seen and heard throughout the evening, Cody eavesdropped.

Sweet Destiny’s ascent to Nashville’s latest premier dessert house and catering service was confirmed. Jules was Music City’s newly crowned, Go-To Event Queen.

Cody’s chest warmed with pride.

He’d worked hard alongside her creating culinary event magic not just for Cruz Control but for Jules’ future. Who was he kidding — he’d also done it for their future.

After instructing his barbecue pit clean-up crew, Cody found Jules, shoes off, sitting at the edge of the Cruz’s grotto-like pool.

While she soaked her feet in the Mediterranean blue and lush-green oasis, Cody basked in the joy she brought to the deepest part of his core. Like the glow bathing her feet from the heat of the pool lights, Cody’s soul radiated a satisfaction he’d never known.

The beauty of being Jules Tulip Lichtenstien would never be lost on him. There was so much more to her than unmatched talent.

Her allure wasn’t just physical, although tonight she’d outdone even her own elegant but edgy style. She pushed the boundaries not only in her work but in appearance too. And Cody loved that about her.

Her plum dress made the bronze-brown of her tanned skin shimmer amidst the thousands of candles blanketing the pool-side venue. Her silver stilettos dangerously dangled over the water on the tips of her slender fingers.

Cody could only imagine slipping those Cinderella shoes on her gorgeous feet. He’d be her prince any day of the week. He’d be honored to be her happily-ever-after.

The crystals covering her dress danced in the late night starlight, outlining her seductive curves. A crucial sheath of fabric, anchored to one of her perfectly rounded shoulders, covered her deliciously voluptuous breasts hidden underneath.

What Cody wouldn’t give to be that piece of material.

With her hair pulled up and large diamond drops dripping from her earlobes, she’d made every head turn in the crowd. Something that fed Cody with pride as well as a jealous twinge he couldn’t quite block.

Being with her filled him with a rebellious boast of “oh yeah, Fellas, she’s mine”.

At the same time, though, he loathed other men looking at her at all. Just thinking of them salivating over her natural good-looks made Cody’s spine tingle.

No matter what she said to convince him otherwise or how confident he was in their relationship, he’d never understand what Jules saw in him.

She could have any man in the room. Why would she settle for him?

What if she someday grew tired of him?

Or like Sienna, would her chance to continue climbing the success ladder relegate him an unworthy step holding her back?

His insecurities were pathetic and completely base-less, he knew, but they had a strong hold.

But not stronger than Jules’ sweet, contagious smile. Her smile was his sunshine.

Seeing it shaping the beautiful curves of her lips brought him out of his unjustifiable worries.

Knowing the relief and happiness forming her smile were meant only for him, he walked toward her.
