“Well, I don’t know, that was pretty intense.And all ofthis is happening fast.And with what’s happening, I don’t think it comes as asurprise to either of us as to why.But if you ever get to wondering why somewoman started falling for you, hard and swift, just remember, you always gaveher the bathroom first.”
The first part madehellasense.
The last did not.
And he told her that by saying, “Babe.”
“Dutch, I first met you when you were doing a favor for yourbrother.You put others above yourself a lot.Awholelot.You gave mestuff about giving you the security code to my building when you know you’renot going to be that creepy jerk if things go wrong with us—”
“Things aren’tgonnago wrong withus.”
“You get my point.”
“Georgie—”
She slid her fingers into his hair on either side of hishead and gave it a gentle jerk.
“You’re just that guy, Dutch.Thatguy.And I’mjustreallyglad I met you.”She pulled him to her for a quick kiss,before she moved away and got off the bed.“Now we both need sleep.Because whoflipping knows what’sgonnahappen tomorrow.”
And she disappeared in the bathroom.
“Mwrr?”Murtagh asked from thedoor.
Dutch looked at the cat.“Yeah, we’re done.”
“Mwrrrrr,” Murtagh said, strolledin, jumped on the bed, did a yoga pose, and started licking his foot.
In fifteen minutes, he’d double-checked his house was lockeddown, the pizza box was in the fridge, the lights out, and Dutch was on hisback in bed with Georgie tucked down his side, her cheek on his pec, Murtaghsettled in on his abs.
Dutch was staring at the shadowed ceiling.
He knew by her breathing that Georgie was staring at hischest.
“What’d my ma talk to you about?”he asked.
“She’s worried about you,” she answered.
“What’d you say?”
“I told her I got you.”
He had his arm around her, and at that, he pulled hercloser.
Because she had that right.
She had him.
Time passed.
Georgiana didn’t slide into sleep.
Neither did Dutch.
She knew that, which was why she relayed, “Just so you know,if you ever want my avid attention when you’ve got something really sexy andsweet and awesome to say, feel free to do it with two fingers inside me.”
Dutch started chuckling.
“Though, I will warn you, my attention was scattered seeingas that was hotter than you taking over my blowjob,” she continued.
