“Gideon, I am not moving in right now.Things are too complicated.”
“You’re making them that way.What exactly is stopping you?”he asked.
She couldn’t really tell him just one thing.There were so many things going through her head.“Why can’t you give me a little time?”
“Because I’ve been waiting for you for decades...”
“Yes, and I just found out about this.You’re pushing a lot of information on me.”
“I don’t like the way you keep refusing me, mate.”
She snorted.“Get used to it, big guy.If you think you’re getting a meek little ...puppy, you’re wrong.”
His eyebrows shot up.“Puppy?Really?”
She grinned.
“How much time?”he asked.
“I don’t know.”
He stared down at her for a moment before he sighed.“Fine.I’ll give you twenty-four hours...”
She shook her head.“No.That’s not enough.”
She could tell she was making him mad, but he had better learn now that she wasn’t a pushover.
“We’ll discuss this tomorrow.”
She nodded.“Call me tomorrow morning.”
“You’d better get it into your pretty little head that I refuse to wait a month before I claim you and have you here, and we’re married and mated.I don’t want to take any chances that you might be taken from me.”
Her stomach twisted.“Married?”
“Yes.I want everything with you.Marriage and babies.”
“We met a day ago, and you’re already talking about babies?”She couldn’t believe how fast everything was going, and she needed some space to be able to think.
Jessica sighed.“Can you take me home, or can I call the driver?”
“No.I’ll take you.”
She bit her lip because he sounded like a toddler not getting his way.
Her mouth dropped open when he stood in front of her naked.She had forgotten that his clothing had ripped when he shifted.
He chuckled and pulled a set of clothing out of a closet he had in his office.“You’d better get used to seeing me nude because we’re both going to be naked a lot.”
She turned away.She didn’t want to start another argument, so she kept quiet.Her body jerked when his arm came around her waist, and he pulled her tightly against his body.He bent and bit lightly at her neck, making her head automatically fall to the side to give him better access.
He growled.“We’d better get out of here, mate, before I push too hard.”
She agreed.She knew it wouldn’t take much for her body to burn and crave his cock inside of her.
He led her out to his car, helped her in, then moved to his side.He made sure her seatbelt was fastened before starting the car.He took her hand as he drove out of his driveway and headed towards hers.
“Can you take me around to the back of the garden?”
