Giggling, I rescue him. “I want to do all this, Gideon. I like cleaning and cooking and taking care of you.”
“It doesn’t feel right when we are starting something.”
“I understand where you’re coming from, but I’m here, so I might as well carry on, yes?”
“No.”
“Okay, that wasn’t really a question. I’m here, I’m carrying on. Got it.”
He smiles. “You’re not leaving me much choice, are you?”
“Not really. Did you sort your issues out?”
“For now. I think there is a lot of shit still there, and I don’t think Sebastian is done with me yet.”
“He is going to Scotland.”
“I know. I sent him there.”
“Oh, you’re his boss?”
“You could say that. Did he say he was coming back?”
“He did.”
We stare at each other for a long moment. “What else did he say?”
“That he wants to… I don’t really know. It was confusing.”
He nods slowly. “I see.”
“I’m glad you do because I don’t.”
“Ah, there you both are,” Dante says, interrupting us. “I hate to eat and run, but I have to go back to the city.”
“What? Why?” I ask, now even more disappointed. But it kind of tells me a lot. These guys aren’t interested in me. They were trying to get to Gideon by using me. It’s obvious now. They’ve got their way, and now they’re leaving.
“If I plan on coming back indefinitely, I need to go back to London and sort some shit out.”
“How long will you be?”
“Two days tops. I won’t be long, darling. But I have to clear my plate so I can drink cocoa with you and not have work hanging over my head.” His eyes gleam wickedly at the mention of cocoa.
“Okay,” I murmur, reassured that he is coming back. “Is that okay with you?” I ask Gideon.
“Yes, of course. As long as Dante knows that if anyone tracks him here, shit will hit the fan.”
Dante grins. “Like I would intentionally cause a shitfan. I’m not Sebastian. Him, you have to worry about.”
“No,” I interrupt. “I don’t think you do.”
Both men stare at me curiously, but I clear my throat and look away. “I need to get back to work. I guess I’ll see you later, then.”
Dante smiles and gives me a light hug before brushing his lips over mine in a chaste kiss. “I’ll see you soon.”
Nodding, he leaves us, and I stare at Gideon, who hasn’t taken his eyes off me. “And then there were two.”
“Like it should’ve been all along,” he grouses. “I’ll be in my office. I’ve got a shit ton of work to do.”
