Larissa was pulled into the warmth of the house.“Suggestion?”she asked again, hoping to put some sanity on what was happening.
“Ah, yes, come on, let me take your coat.”
Her coat was eased off her shoulders, and he took her bag, and she didn’t fight him as he took hold of her hands.Although she did hate the feeling that swept over her as he touched her.His bare flesh to hers.It had been the first real time they had touched like this.
When they stepped into the kitchen, it was then that she inhaled all the delicious scents, and her mouth started to water.
“Have a seat.Let me get you a glass of milk,” George said.
She was sat down in a chair, and she was still confused.
“Did you break into my father’s house?”
“No, I called him and he told me where the spare key was.”
“My dad actually told you where the spare key was?”This made her even more confused as her father didn’t trust easily.
In fact, Jonah Adams hadn’t wanted to talk about Big Dick, or George.
That wasn’t the truth.He wanted to talk about him, but Larissa had asked him to stop.It was the first time she had told her father no, and that she wasn’t going to listen to reason.She had been hurt, and she didn’t want to talk about him, nor know anything about him.The pain of the betrayal had been too great.
“Yes, he told me where the spare key was, and he also said you were going to hate my idea, but he liked it.”
“Your idea?”she asked.
This was getting scarier by the second.She knew all about how good of a sweet talker Big Dick was.
“Yes, I am going to be living here from now on.”
“Wait?What?”Larissa asked.
This was starting to sound worse than she wanted to know.This couldn’t be possible.There was no way he could be living here.That wasn’t going to work.It was bad enough dealing with the memories of being with him.There was no way she would be able to handle this.
“No,” Larissa said.
“I’m going to take care of you,” George said.“I’m going to give you the space you need to adjust, but I am part of this baby’s life.”He crouched down beside her.“I know you won’t believe me, and I don’t blame you.But I love you, Larissa Adams.I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I’m going to be there for you.I’m going to help you in the morning, take you to work.Where I can, I will help you there as well.I’m not a baker, but I can cook a good meal from time to time.I’ll have obligations at the club, but for the most part, I am going to be by your side.”
“You’re needed at the club.”
“And I’ve already talked to Smokey.He is happy with me taking a step back right now, helping you.Fixing what we have.If he needs me, he’ll call.”
Larissa was shocked.
“You don’t have to do this,” she said.
“Yeah, I do.I love you,” he said.
Was it just because of the baby?
“I should have told you that when you told me you loved me, but I was a fucking idiot.Have I told you that lately?How much of a fucking idiot I am?”
She shook her head.
He surprised her even more by getting to his feet and pressing a kiss to her forehead.
“You’re not going to need to worry about cooking dinner.I’ll take care of that.”
She watched as he moved toward the stove and began to make them dinner.This was spaghetti, with what looked like giant meatballs.She had never seen them that large before.She always made modest meatballs.
