“Yeah, I gave him the heads-up, but I also shot him a quick text to let him know everything was okay.”
“Then why is he texting me?”
She opens her phone and rolls her eyes.
“What is it?” I ask.
“Another man’s number. For God’s sake, he has to stop this.”
I hold my hand out for her phone, and with a raised eyebrow, she passes it to me.
“It’s time this stops,” I say as I press send on his number.
“London?” Chandler Ambrose says as he answers.
“No, sir, this is Drew Montgomery. With all due respect, you need to stop trying to pair her up with someone. She’swithsomeone, and I’m not going anywhere. She’s taken.”
There’s a long pause, and then Chandler simply says, “Goodnight, Drew.”
I pass the phone back to London, who appears to be speechless.
Finally, Rome laughs. “I’d bet all my money that that’s the first time something like that has ever happened to that man.”
“I mean it.”
Rome sobers and finishes his wine. “I believe you do. Well, now that everything has somewhat calmed down, I’ll head out.”
He sets his glass in the sink, then crosses to his sister and pulls her in for a hug.
“Call me if you need me. I’ll beat the kid up if it’s necessary.”
London chuckles. “I hope itwon’tbe necessary. Thanks, Rome.”
“Have a good night,” I say with a wave, and when we’re finally alone, London rubs her forehead with her fingertips.
“I’m so mad at my kid,” she mutters.
“Me, too. I had a whole box of condoms to get through.”
That makes her laugh in surprise, and she holds her hand out for mine. I tug her to me and kiss her long and slow, satisfied when she melts against me. Now that I’ve had her naked and writhing beneath me, I can’t wait to get her there again.
“I’m staying,” I inform her. “I’ll take a guest room, but I’m not leaving.”
“Good.” She bites her lower lip. “Unfortunately, I think it’s best if you sleep in a guest room for tonight, at least until I figure out what in the world is going on with that kid.”
“He’s having feelings, and he doesn’t know what to do about it.” I shrug a shoulder. “I’m not going to take it personally. By the way, I told Quinn to stay. She’s in one of the guest rooms.”
“She’s upstairs, in her room,” London confirms. “I popped my head in to see if she stayed, gave her a hug, and reassured her. She was eating, drinking, and watchingReal Housewives. You should take the guest room down here, with the library.”
“That’s awfully far away from you.”
Her lips turn up in a soft, flirty smile. “True. But if I were to sneak down in the middle of the night, it’s unlikely that anyone would hear if I seduced you and we did our best to be quiet.”
“Oh, I like that idea.” Her lips are soft when I kiss them. “I like that alot.Let’s plan on that.”
She grins and checks the time. “It’s late. I’ll close up the house for the night.”
“I’ll come with you.”
