“Yeah. He’s worried about you. He said you don’t get out much, and he wants you to have a good time. I think he meant generally rather than in the sack.” He moves across to the pan as his alarm goes, taking me with him, then flips the steak, filling the air with the aroma of cooked meat.
“You sound like you had quite the conversation.” I’m not sure how I feel about Finn contacting him without me knowing. Poor Alex. I’m sure he didn’t sign up for all this trouble.
But he says, “We text each other quite a lot.” He sets the timer again.
“I didn’t know that.”
“Just stuff about gaming mostly. And I send him photos of Zelda on Snapchat.” He glances at me. “I’m sorry, I thought you knew.”
“I don’t mind,” I say softly, touched that he doesn’t seem to mind. “It’s so good of you to take him under your wing.”
“I like the kid. He reminds me of myself at that age.”
“Devilishly handsome?”
He chuckles. “All elbows and knees with a squeaky voice. But yeah, nah, I mean a little shy, passionate about computers and gaming, half geek, half nerd. A bit serious. Same floppy hair.”
“I bet you were a gorgeous young man.”
He just smiles.
I like being so close to him. I rest my lips on his warm skin, then do what I’ve wanted to do for months, and reach up so I can kiss the hollow beneath his Adam’s apple.
He sighs. “You’re not making it easy for me.”
“I’m so relieved. I thought you didn’t fancy me.”
He gives me an exasperated look. “You’re kidding me?”
“Um, no.”
He rolls his eyes. “Missie, I’ve thought about having sex with you for over a year.”
“You’ve only known me for nine months,” I point out, to cover the fact that my head is spinning.
“I was rounding up. I’ve thought about it every day. In great detail. So please don’t accuse me of not fancying you. It makes my heart hurt.”
“Aw.” I press my lips to his cheek, and he turns his head and gives me a long, luscious kiss.
Eventually he sighs and turns back to the steak. “You can’t go all day without eating.”
“Yes, Dad.”
“Don’t be a brat. I’m serious.”
“I was nervous, as Finn pointed out.”
“Why? Because it’s been a while?”
“Yes. And because of you.”
“What do you mean?”
“You really have no idea?”
“No.”
“You’re pretty intimidating.”
