“Going to pretend you’re referring to my generous heart.”
“Generous something,” he mutters, returning to his newspaper. “Before I forget, your Ma wants you to visit her when you get back.”
“Why?” I frown. “Did something happen?”
“No, but did you think they were not going to see you again?”
“I didn’t really think about it,” I say shrugging.
“They probably want to make sure you’re okay, not being held against your will or tied up to my bed.” He snorts.
“Well, not right now I’m not,” I say chuckling.
“The night is young.” He squeezes my knee.
“Are things going to change now that we’re back?” I say in a small voice.
“What do you mean?”
“Are you going to go back to being cold and jerky?”
“No, are you going to go back to being bratty and bitchy?”
“You only say that because I wasn’t falling at your feet like—” I stop before the words Keira Kavanagh come out.
“We’re going to be living together. I never wanted to live with anyone before, but for you, I made an exception because Iwantedto. Because I wantyou, nobody else,” he says, putting the paper down.
“What about Angela?”
“What about her?”
“You chose her before you chose me, doesn’t that mean something?”
“I didn’t choose her, it was part of the contract. When Angela walked away from the engagement, your pops offered me millions in consolation, but I said I only wanted you or nothing. He doubled, tripled, and threw everything at me but I didn’t want it. After meeting you that night, I didn’t want anyone else.”
“He never said that to me,” I say blushing. “He said that you settled for me even though you knew I had a boyfriend before.”
“He’s a jackass.”
“I know,” I say awkwardly.
“For once you’re speechless.” He says, raising his eyebrow a fraction.
“There is a lot to take in.”
“So, are you going to visit your Ma tomorrow? Damon can take you. I don’t want you wandering the city alone.”
“Maybe not tomorrow. I have plans.”
“Define plans?” His jaw clenches.
“Relax, I’m not running off into the sunset.” I say rolling my eyes.
“What then?”
“I’m having a consultation about laser tattoo removal,” I say, pushing my bracelet further up my arm to uncover the inking.
“You are? How come?” He looks surprised.
