“My neighbor, Andie. She’s just lost her job, and her boyfriend’s kicked her out. She’s couch surfing at the moment, but she’d jump at a live-in job. She can cookanddo laundry. And,” I eye him carefully, “she can keep her mouth shut.”
Paddy watches me for a beat, nodding thoughtfully.
“Ye mention it to her then, lass. We'll take it to Connor if she’s happy with the idea.”
I smile at him, frowning as he trails his fingertips back and forth over my nose, smiling like an idiot.
“What are you doing?”
Paddy’s eyes flicker to mine, dropping back to my nose to watch his moving hand.
“Touching yer freckles.”
“Why?”
“Because I love ye, and they’re part of ye,” he breathes.
Huh. Maybe there’s hope for him in the greeting card business after all. I tug him to me, moaning as his tongue tangles with mine.
“I love you too, Paddy,” I whisper. He smirks against my mouth.
“Shut up and kiss me, lass,” he mutters, deepening the kiss for a moment before he speaks again. “Feck, I love ye,mo chroí.”
THE END.
