Good thing they weren’t on video call.
She stepped closer to slide her hand down Rourke’s fly, stroking him through his slacks.“I have a lot more of him than that, Leon.”
Rourke’s laugh wasn’t far from his words.“Okay, decision made.Go away, Leon.Leave me and my woman be.”He stabbed at the phone to disconnect the call.“We’re getting married today.”
“I remember,” she said, opening the last cabinet to see nothing but dry goods.They should keep, they’d be back eventually.Unless… “Are we selling this place?How often would we visit?”
“It’s your call.I cleared the mortgage when you were in the shower yesterday.”
Of course he did.“Without asking me?”
“What do you care?It’s just money.I didn’t transfer ownership.”
“You actually called my bank to—”
“I called my guy, it’s done.”
Why did it seem he had a guy for everything?
“It might not be a bad thing to have a private space to escape to.”
In spite of dealing with her mother’s issues, the week hadn’t been all bad.She and Rourke had time to just be together.Though it might surprise many, they hadn’t actually come to blows.
“Are we getting married in Vegas?”he asked, interrupting her pondering.
“What?”
“The get-up,” he said, eyeing her body again.“Figure anything goes in Vegas, not so sure about around here.Am I overdressed?Is it underwear only?Damn, I wish I’d got the memo.”
“My dress is in the closet,” she said.“I didn’t want to get it dirty.Wearing white to clean the kitchen is asking for trouble.”
“White?You’re wearing white?”
And that was exactly the reaction she expected.
Thus, she grinned.“Brides wear white.What’s wrong with following tradition?”
“Virgin brides and you don’t give a shit about tradition.You’re not even an hour old virgin, we did it before you got in the shower.You’ve been virginal for what?Maybe forty minutes.”
“It’s something.And it’ll be at least two hours by the time we get there.Are you calling me loose?Cheap?Slutty?”
“Now you’re just reciting my list of reasons to marry you.Stay as you are, I love it.I do.Just put a coat on, let’s get married before you get arrested.”
“After’s okay?”
He gestured around the apartment.“After, if you’re in the slammer, I get all this.”
“Because you’re so in need of a place to stay.You’re using me for my apartment.”
“I’ve got to get something out of the deal.The sex is getting old.”
“Old?Is it?Then you won’t mind if we spend all night in the office.”
“Yeah, what was that about?Agreeing to spend our wedding night with Leon.Something you’re not telling me?”
Huh, she hadn’t thought of it that way.Wedding night.
She slapped a hand onto his chest to pat him a couple of times.“Hope you’ve got some moves left to impress me, Hotshot.I’d hate to have to tell the girls you flopped on our first big night of commitment.”
