A smile curved over her lips. “No. Thank you for the reminder. I’ve been so busy, I haven’t taken the time to even breathe the last few days.”
“You’ve worked so hard, and it’s going to be a success. Take a break so you’ll be ready for tomorrow.”
“You know my parents and Delilah are going to be there.”
I’d forgotten she’d mentioned her sister was trying to plan a trip to visit soon. Would she be upset when she saw us together? Would it change things for her?
“She’s staying with my parents.”
I was so deep into this thing with Remi that I didn’t think it would change my perspective. “You think your parents will have an issue with us dating?”
“I haven’t talked to them. I’m hoping to speak to them before things start, but I haven’t had a chance to stop by their place this week like I’d planned.”
I met them when I was dating Delilah. The one thing I remembered most was how kind and loving they were. I couldn’t imagine they’d be upset or angry, but this was an unusual situation. Wouldn’t most parents be upset?
“I think it will be fine.”
At the very least, I’d be busy coordinating security and parking for the event, making sure there weren’t any fights or issues. I’d be too busy to spend time with her family.
Remi turned in my arms. “We love each other. I don’t think my parents will have any issues once they know that.”
“They want you to be happy, but what if Delilah changes her mind? What if seeing us together is too much?”
“Are you worried about seeing Delilah?”
“I’m not worried about my feelings, but I wonder if she’ll be upset seeing us together.” Things between us had been great. Perfect really. Normally, in my life, when I felt like things were going along fine, something happened to tear that assumption to threads. I wasn’t cocky enough to think it couldn’t happen again. I just needed to be more prepared this time, keep an eye out, and anticipate any problems.
Remi straddled me, pulling me out of my spiral of worry. “Looks like I’m going to have to distract you.”
I focused on the feel of her heat pressing down on my hardening erection, the tickle of her hair against my cheek, and the fruity smell of her shampoo.
“Let go. Be with me.”
The blood flowed hot through my body, setting every inch on fire. “You make it so easy.”
Remi smiled, a combination of seduction and sweetness. “That’s why you love me.”
I brushed a hair back from her face, overcome with love for her. “There are so many reasons.”
She kissed me, making me forget about her family, the fundraiser, and all the things that could go wrong. It wasn’t until she was asleep next to me in bed that the thought occurred to me. If I was so busy with security for the event, how could I protect her?
